Chapter 374: The Business Boom
The so-called witchcraft of Fu Hao.
To put it simply, it is a skill to kill the enemy in battle.
It is the perfect combination of witchcraft and tactics.
There are similar magical powers in Taoism, such as Qimen Dunjia.
The authentic inheritance of witchcraft in the world is in Feng, not in Qin.
Fu Hao had wanted to go to Fengchao to study many times, but she gave up the idea because of some things.
Now, she decided not to go anymore, but to be loyal to Qin Emperor Ying Yuan and plan to make a career.
If Ying Yuan knew that the abolition of the system of human sacrifice would not cause domestic unrest.
On the contrary, it can win the favor of the female war god.
It will probably collapse.
A few days later.
On the banks of the Wei River.
Ying Yuan ordered Xu Huang to follow Xu Fu and go out to sea to visit the immortals.
At the same time, Cao Cao had also arranged 300,000 Liangshan navy soldiers to wait for Xu Fu and his men on the sea.
This is a big event for the Qin State.
All the officials were dispatched.
Xu Fu was afraid of being beaten, so he got on the boat early.
So, under the expectant eyes of all officials, the fleet sailed through the Wei River, headed towards the canal, and finally to the vast ocean.
Watching the fleet gradually go away, all the officials smiled with satisfaction and said:
"Once maritime trade is officially launched, our court will be able to make more money."
"Over the years, the national treasury has been very full thanks to the management of the Ministry of Revenue. In short, with the addition of this maritime trade, our Qin State will no longer have to worry about money."
"The lives of the people will get better and better."
"We are witnessing the beginning of a new era! I intend to name this era the Age of Exploration!"
“…”
Then.
Cao Cao was not idle either.
As soon as possible, he told people that the imperial court encouraged people to go into business.
Some people in the coastal areas seemed to see the dawn of hope. They gathered together from time to time to discuss the latest policies of the court:
"I heard that the government sent 300,000 troops to the sea, with the goal of opening up maritime connections."
"We can sell Qin's goods to the maritime nations at high prices, or exchange them for various scarce domestic resources."
"We can exchange money and have several docks. In the future, merchants from various countries on the sea will definitely come to our Great Qin frequently."
"We can even cooperate with the imperial court to build up the coastal towns, establish some large-scale businesses, and earn money from the maritime nations."
“…”
They all agreed that developing maritime trade is a good thing that benefits both the country and the people.
At the very least, they no longer have to rely on fishing for a living as usual.
No matter what, going into business will definitely create a group of wealthy people.
No matter what kind of social environment or system it is.
The first thing is that someone has to eat the meat first.
Most people can only drink soup.
Only when a society has developed to its full potential can it redistribute resources in a true sense.
This requires the joint efforts of several or even more than a dozen generations.
And it must be comprehensive development, such as civilization, humanity, technology, productivity, etc.
Neither is indispensable.
For the Qin Dynasty, developing maritime trade is just the beginning.
Although the prospects of this business are good, no one knows whether it can make money, and even if it can, how much it can make.
Therefore, they can only cross the river by feeling their way forward, taking one step at a time.
-------------------------------------
Abolish human sacrifice, ritual sacrifices, slavery, and the practice of going into business.
Many noble families smelled an unusual scent.
They felt that the imperial court was likely playing a big game.
The Li family of Longxi, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, and the Zheng family of Xingyang.
The five major families once again gathered in Liangzhou to discuss the current political situation.
They represent the interests of all the nobles in the Qin Dynasty.
At this moment, in a secret room.
Li Yin, the head of the Longxi Li family, was giving a long speech to the leaders of the other four families:
"Although the abolition of the system of burying people alive with the dead doesn't seem to have a significant impact on us at first glance, after all, we don't need so-called slaves..."
"But, if you think about it carefully, those three consecutive decisions affected our status as nobles."
"In addition, the fact that the imperial court wants to make some people rich first by engaging in business is enough to prove that the imperial court wants to create a new group of merchants who are not controlled by aristocratic families like us."
Hear this.
The other four family heads all gasped and felt terrified when they thought about it.
The reason why the nobles are called nobles is that they enjoy most of the resources of this society.
Moreover, they can do things that ordinary people cannot do.
For example, buying slaves and requiring living people to be buried alive.
However, with the policy of nationalization of land and the emphasis on the bottom line that nobles who break the law are guilty of the same crime as common people,
All the interests of the nobility are affected.
Their control over the people is also constantly weakening.
Now, another plan to go into business has emerged.
We need to create a new group of rich people.
In essence, isn't it just to further reduce the control of the aristocratic families over this society?
"I understand what the imperial court wants to do. They want to control most of the country's resources."
