"Your Majesty, the steering problem of the four-wheeled carriage has just been solved, including the load and other problems are still in the testing stage, and after the Academy of Sciences collects all the data, it can compile a manual for the Ministry of Industry to start a large-scale promotion, which will inevitably greatly improve the efficiency of the transportation of goods."

"Aiqing is really talented, although this four-wheeled carriage has existed since ancient times, but the steering problem has always been a huge problem, countless craftsmen have not solved it, now Aiqing has solved this problem, the four-wheeled carriage will inevitably be popular in the future, Aiqing should be the first to work!" Qin Shi Huang was delighted.

"Your Majesty Xie praised that the development of the four-wheeled carriage is not the credit of one person, there are Shaofu's car-making order and four craftsmen, there are the managers and craftsmen of the iron-making workshop and black-making workshop of the Academy of Sciences Factory, and the bus company can operate these carriages to provide convenience for the people of Xianyang, as well as a few businessmen who jointly invested, the last minister said that the bus company invested millions of money, which will greatly stimulate the development of various supporting businesses, and will bring a large amount of taxes to the Inner History Mansion and provide thousands of people with a job to make a livingOnly the imperial court gives a relaxed policy, merchants can rest assured and boldly take out the coins in their hands to invest in more business, promote steel smelting, agricultural tool manufacturing, and goods circulation, and my Daqin's hundred industries can flourish, in the past, Qi was rich in the world, it is precisely because of the active businessmen, today's Great Qin encompasses all over the world, and continues to suppress the merchants as if they were tied to their arms, so the minister asked His Majesty to loosen the law of suppressing the merchants, abolish the "Golden Cloth Law" in the discrimination of commerce and other laws, and allow the common people to do business freely. And reduce taxes to stimulate business development, so as to drive more industrial development, so that our Daqin will get a wider range of tax sources......"

Chen Xu had mentioned it several times to Qin Shi Huang about reducing or reducing commercial taxes and loosening the harsh laws that suppressed merchants, but none of them were on formal occasions such as court discussions, and the emperor never discussed this topic in the court.

And this matter, Chen Xu must use all his strength to promote.

With the emergence of steel and cement and began to be widely used, whether it is to build roads and bridges or build canals and reservoirs and other large amounts of infrastructure need to invest huge financial and material resources, just by looting the people this means can never be satisfied, and the overstretched court income will certainly not be able to support, must introduce a large number of civil forces, and the liberation of merchants to develop business is the best and fastest way, there is no one, only a large amount of investment in, cement plants, steel plants, etc. can be built in large quantities, Although in the process of development, there will certainly be chaos and cruelty to the common people, and there will also be a large number of collusion between officials and businessmen.

But if the great good is false, if the best is evil, the strength of the country will inevitably be accompanied by all kinds of unsatisfactory places, but at least Chen Xu asks himself without any selfishness.

Just like China's reform and opening up in later generations, messy things will inevitably emerge one after another, and it will inevitably have a huge impact on the outdated concept of society and people, and even the political system will almost be crumbling, but the benefits of this kind of reform are also obvious.

At least in this era, there is no blindness to cross the river by feeling the stones.

And under the highly centralized imperial power, all chaos will be quickly suppressed.

What's more, at present, what all levels of agriculture and industry in the Great Qin Shi need is a more enlightened and relaxed decree, the cruel Qin and the people of the six countries are not used to it, and naturally there is a huge resistance from the heart, once there is a slight disturbance, someone will take the opportunity to cause chaos, if all industries are prosperous, farmers, merchants and craftsmen are free to live and work in peace and contentment, who has the leisure to rebel.

After more than ten years of unification, strict laws have long ceased to be the guarantee of Great Qin's strength, but have become a huge burden to cocoon itself, and the development of people's livelihood is the best way to make Great Qin stable and strong.

However, these laws summarized by various dynasties in later generations were actually realized because of the collapse of Great Qin.

For example, the Han Dynasty knew that the Great Qin died in strict law, and the people who participated in the rebellion also knew the powerful disadvantages of the Qin Law, so the Han Dynasty inherited various systems of the Qin Dynasty, but greatly weakened the strategy of governing the country by magic, and adopted the Huang Lao's technique of ruling by inaction, which made the Han Dynasty quickly prosperous and powerful.

Chen Xu knew these things, but neither the emperor nor the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs knew about them.

Therefore, Chen Xu needs to constantly let the Manchu civil and military forces and the emperor see the effect of these things through his own actions.

And time waits for no one, a few years have passed in a flash, and it has been more than three years since Chen Xu came to Daqin in the blink of an eye, but he has made very few changes to the law, he has been tickling around, and he has never touched the fundamental core and interests of any magic governing the country.

And today, for the first time in the court, Chen Xu proposed the abolition of the anti-business clause in the commercial law, which liberated the business that the disciples of the Legalists regarded as the last work.

A country that does not know how to do business will only get poorer and poorer.

Chen Xu's words were still echoing above the court, and all the civil and military forces of the whole dynasty were silent, some frowned, some were angry, some were excited, and some had calm faces.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his face was calm and he couldn't see any emotion.

"Your Majesty, commerce is the last work, businessmen come to speculate for profit, if it is not for the constraints of commercial law, I am afraid that profiteers everywhere will compete with the people for profits and even compete with the imperial court, how can all industries prosper!" A middle-aged minister stood up, his face looking rather angry, but also slightly apprehensive.

Angry because Chen Xu abolished the law that suppressed merchants, and worried because of Chen Xu's identity.

What a special immortal disciple, I don't know if I will use the Taiyi Divine Thunder to blow him up at night.

But he couldn't be indifferent to the look that Li Si gave him, as a disciple of the Legalists, he must still stand with the big guy Li Si and wear the same pants, otherwise his status will not be guaranteed in the future.

Li Si's small movements, Chen Xu didn't bother to look at them.

Once the core interests of legalist disciples such as the law are touched, it is impossible for Li Si not to fight back.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been familiar with the theory of domestic demand, and thinks that what the Marquis of Qinghe said is reasonable, the merchants will invest the money stored in the treasury into business, and the court will reap a lot of associated commercial taxes, and the money will not come out of thin air, if the edict that suppresses the merchants is lifted and the taxes are reduced, it will inevitably drive more merchants to make use of the money, and all industries can prosper!" A fourth-grade official from the Ministry of Industry stood up and posted it for his immediate boss Chen Xu.

"Your Majesty, do you know how much the Weihe Bridge is being built outside the East Gate?"

Chen Xu didn't bother to continue to wait for Li Si's people to jump out of the ring, because if the emperor didn't express his position on this kind of thing, the two sides could fight for a few months, but in fact, it didn't make sense at all in the end, but would only reduce his identity and status.

Qin Shi Huang is the biggest boss in the world, as long as he gets everything OK, if he can't get it, everything is in vain, abolishing the decree that suppresses agriculture and commerce and developing business Chen Xu has said to Qin Shi Huang many times openly and secretly, if Qin Shi Huang is unwilling, then there is no hope, but Qin Shi Huang has never rejected Chen Xu's proposal head-on, and the current attitude is not zero, this attitude shows that Qin Shi Huang is still hesitating, and needs to give him a more solid reason.

"Which Aiqing told me how much the Weihe River Bridge was put into?" Qin Shi Huang obviously didn't know the answer to Chen Xu's question, and his eyes fell on Hubu Ling Gao Teng.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here to answer the question of the Marquis of Qinghe!" Behind Gao Teng, a Kurosu Tobe official in his forties stood up.

"Speak!"

"The Dongmen Weihe Bridge planned and built by the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Industry is 60 zhang long, and a total of 500,000 catties of steel are consumed, 1 million catties of cement, more than 1,000 zhang of wood, and countless bamboo, stone and hemp ropes are burned, and the cement is burned, the river sand is excavated, the pebbles are screened, the bamboo and wood are cut, and the bridge is built, and a total of more than 1,000 soldiers and craftsmen are used, and nearly 10,000 prisoners and slaves are ......used."

"I just want to know how much it will cost to repair the bridge?" Qin Shi Huang interrupted the words of the household officials with a majestic face.

The household official wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the calculation of the engineering headquarters and the current daily consumption, it will cost at least 500,000 stone and grain to repair the bridge......

"Wow~"

There was an instant exclamation and commotion in the court, and many ministers saw the horror on the faces of their colleagues, and even Li Si, who had always had a calm face, couldn't help but twitch his cheeks.

And the slightly fat body of the emperor sitting on the dragon chair trembled like a cramp, his mouth opened slightly and he was stunned for a few seconds before frowning and saying: "500,000 stones, my Xianyang warehouse only has 3 million stones of grain, this bridge is so costly?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty ordered that the bridge be repaired no matter what the cost, so the ministers did not report it separately!" Tobe Ling Gao Teng stood up with a wry smile and said.

"Your Majesty, according to the estimates, it is indeed so much cost, and the calculations of the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Industry have already seen it!" Right Prime Minister Feng Qujian hurriedly stood up for his subordinates, "Most of the consumption is in cement and steel, the cement factory excavates stones, transports coal and stone, mines clay and limestone, grinds raw meal, and a large number of iron ingots in the steel factory are transported from Hedong and Nanyang, and the consumption of chariots and horses is huge......"

"Your Majesty, although steel and cement are a sharp tool for building roads and bridges, but the cost is also huge, if a cement road is built from Xianyang to the coast of the East China Sea in Qi County, there are more than ten large and small bridges alone, if the whole road is to be built, all the investment is not less than 10 million stones, this expenditure can never be supported by the imperial court, unless commercial investment is introduced, so that a large number of businessmen invest heavily in the construction of cement plants, steel plants, excavation of sand and gravel stones, transportation of bamboo and wood and other materials, otherwise this road alone will drag down my Daqin, What's more, this autumn's Mid-Autumn Festival drought grain production is reduced by about one percent, and the floods in the two counties of Qidong require a large amount of subsidies from the official warehouse, which makes the imperial court expenses more and more stretched, but if the road is not repaired, the road is not smooth, the freight is not smooth, but if the road is repaired, it is inevitable that the counties along the way can not support such a huge expenditure, not to mention the forced levy of the people's power to increase the tax burden, will only make the people more bitter and resentful, the minister said before, the affairs of the court can be put into business, if this road is handed over to the merchants to build, the court will not bear such a great pressure! After Feng Qujian finished speaking, Chen Xu spoke again.
