Chapter 372: Development of Maritime Trade
Many people couldn't help but roll their eyes after hearing Heshen's voice.
The key is that what he said was really speechless.
What about taking advantage of the 300,000 navy's voyage to visit the immortals to establish exchanges with many island countries on the sea.
Also barter.
Are you bartering?
I'm afraid they just robbed him outright?
However, to be honest, the method Heshen proposed is indeed extremely beneficial.
Yu Qian said, "If the Great Qin needs the interests of the maritime nations, I think it's not just our court that can intervene."
"With our 300,000 naval forces, we can sail freely on the sea and will certainly be able to guarantee the tangible interests of the people of Great Qin."
Cao Cao immediately became curious when he heard this and asked, "You mean, let the people get involved as well?"
Yu Qian nodded and said, "Encourage the people living near the coast to actively develop commercial exchanges with the offshore island nations."
"If those island nations dare to harm our people, we will send our 300,000-strong army out to sea to visit the immortals and eliminate them one by one."
"In short, the imperial court went to sea to gain resource benefits, while allowing the people to go to sea was to first enrich a group of people."
"Your Excellency should understand this better than me. Why don't you please tell your Excellency your opinion?"
He Shen smiled and said, "Your Excellency's words make sense. We should encourage the people to go to sea and engage in business, and then the court will pay for going to sea and establishing connections with other countries."
"In this way, once maritime trade is launched, the help to our Great Qin will be absolutely endless."
"At the very least, it will create a group of wealthy people in our Great Qin, and the lives of the people will get better and better."
After hearing what he said, all the officials understood instantly.
Encourage ordinary people to go into business.
The imperial court went out to sea to plunder resources.
This is a win-win situation!
"Perhaps this is also what Your Majesty meant."
Qin Hui stroked his beard and said.
All the ministers nodded in agreement and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty, your vigorous development of the navy is based on the hope that one day, Great Qin will gain huge benefits at sea."
"As long as maritime trade is accomplished, the economic development of our Great Qin will surely reach a new level."
"Yes, the current economy of our Great Qin has clearly encountered shackles and is difficult to break through. Perhaps developing maritime trade is an opportunity."
"The key is that the other nations haven't noticed this yet. Once they do, all maritime trade among the nations will be controlled by Qin."
"In this way, our Great Qin will become the overlord of the sea!"
“…”
The more they talked, the happier they became.
A few years ago, the battle with Jin and Chu had just ended.
The Qin State began to hold a conference to dominate the world.
Let all the countries in the world realize that the Qin State has now become a behemoth.
But, are we satisfied with just dominating the land?
No!
They also want to dominate the sea!
This is just a necessary process, not the end!
that's all.
A vigorous movement of going into business and maritime trade officially began.
Later historians discovered this when studying the history of the Qin State.
The Qin State's transition to capitalist society could not leave an important period.
That is, the period when the system of human burial, slavery and human sacrifice was abolished.
During this period, the Qin Dynasty developed respect and protection of human rights to the extreme.
It creates a good atmosphere for the entire social environment.
Moreover, after respecting the protection of human rights, movements such as going into business were immediately launched.
Make some people rich first.
Starting from a point and spreading to the whole, it gradually led to the prosperity of most people.
It also laid a good foundation for later solving problems such as resource reorganization and allocation.
In short, this series of operations caused a complete and drastic change in the Qin Dynasty.
Of course, this change is quite obvious in the long course of history.
But at present, it is just a silent change.
But this change, over time, will generate enormous energy, enough to turn the world upside down.

The imperial court first announced to the world the abolition of the system of human sacrifice and slavery.
Soon, there was a huge response from all over the country.
Without exception, they all praised Ying Yuan's wisdom.
now.
Shandong Road, the territory of Yanzhou.
Inside a large slave trade chamber somewhere.
People here are selecting slaves imprisoned in iron cages.
Or let them become like dogs, protecting their own safety at all times when necessary.
Or he would choose some good-looking women and make them his tools to satisfy his sexual desires.
But no matter which one it is, it is undeniable that slaves locked in cages are the most lowly people in the world.
In the eyes of some people, their value may be less than that of a dog.
Slaves have no freedom, or rather, they dare not even desire freedom.
The eyes of all slaves are cloudy, and they see no hope for their future.
What they learn the most since they are born is not how to be a human being, but how to be a good dog.
"This slave is not bad. He is strong and suitable for doing heavy work. I want him."
"Hmm? This slave isn't even thirteen yet? He has a nice figure, though. I want him!"
