Chapter 626: A Different Change
"Marquis Qinghe, do you have to imitate the three chapters of the law again?" Gao Teng turned his head to look at Chen Xu.
"Yes, this is the only way to solve this dilemma!" Chen Xu nodded.
"But...... But what did the imperial court use to cash in money and grain for the merchants, and there was no spoils for building roads and bridges? Gao Teng felt that his head was a little mushy.
And many other officials also looked at Chen Xu together.
Everyone knew Chen Xu's magical attributes, and most of them even completely agreed that Chen Xu was really a disciple of the Immortal Family.
But the disciple of the Immortal Family is just a mortal, not a real immortal, can Chen Xu still turn this path into a trophy?
"Naturally, there is a strategy that can be fulfilled, but this time is relatively long, and it also requires many special preferential policies for businessmen, that is, as I just said, we must completely abolish the decree that suppresses businessmen, so that businessmen all over the world can see that the imperial court really wants to treat businessmen and civilians equally, so that they have enough courage to participate in it, otherwise such a large investment will not get a return equal to the pay, but I am afraid that no one will make a move......"
"What's more, the general trend of the world is changing all the time, and there has never been an immutable thing in the world, businessmen have existed since ancient times, but there has never been such a harsh decree as my Great Qin, there is a poem that says: Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao. Vote for me with Mu Li, and repay it with Qiongjiu. Bandit retribution, always think it is good! Men and women still have the feeling of retribution, the situation is beneficial to the country and the people, Xu Shangjia is free, he is allowed to get the country's interests, and he is allowed to tax profits, and Daqin adds a smooth road all over the world, and the country and the people are beneficial, isn't it the best of both worlds? And what the court has paid is only to abolish a decree, which is more important than a glance, if you still cling to the pedantic decree and ignore the state and society, wouldn't it be if the people who cover their ears and steal the bell deceive themselves! ”
"Yu Guo, Chen has no selfishness, Yu Shang, Chen only asks for a clear conscience!"
After Chen Xu finished speaking, he stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes scanning the entire hall.
Today's words, although Chen Xu had a plan, but he didn't expect to say it today, he originally wanted to wait until the bus company was completely on the right track, and after the Weihe Bridge outside the east gate was repaired, so that the two hot topics that the people of Xianyang talked about every day were completely successful, so that everyone could see the results, he would write a detailed recital and officially put it forward in the court, but he didn't expect that as soon as the bus appeared, the emperor would be so interested in calling him to come to the court to explain.
And Chen Xu is naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity, not to mention that the sooner this kind of thing is solved, the better, if this layer of paper is pierced as soon as possible, even if it can't be solved today, it will plant a seed in advance in the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, among which there will inevitably be people who agree with this concept, and the affairs of the court will inevitably spread soon, and then the merchants of Xianyang will definitely not say anything about it.
With the Marquis of Qinghe supporting them, if they don't act, Shangjia really won't have a chance to turn over and be liberated.
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all had solemn faces, and there was no sound.
Chen Xu's words sounded extremely sharp and ruthless.
But it's true that there is no selfishness in every word.
Moreover, the investment in this road reached tens of millions of stone and grain, which was a huge pressure on everyone, especially the household department and the internal history office, which controlled the money for the emperor.
The emperor must build the cement road of Dongfang Avenue, this matter has been said outside the south gate last time, but the emperor has issued an edict, and it is the officials of the six ministries who bear this pressure, raising money and food, recruiting servants, and mobilizing a large number of prisoners and slaves, each of which is a huge pressure, and it can't go wrong, the food supply is not enough, and it will inevitably cause trouble in the end, 10 million stone grain, no war in the Six Kingdoms has such a large consumption, this is no longer a simple pressure, but a fatal errand.
However, what Chen Xu was expecting was not resolved.
The emperor and the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs were silent for a long time, and then said with a calm face: "Qinghe Hou is reasonable, but magic is a national policy, and it needs to be decided carefully. ”
The emperor spoke, and there was obviously hesitation, so no minister stood up and continued to post for Chen Xu, because it was useless to top it now.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Chen Xu went to the Academy of Sciences, convened agricultural craftsmen and scribes to begin to sort out the information to compile a book of Qi Min Essentials, he was ready to compile all his inventions into a book and print it, from the triangle plate protractor to the stone grinding car, from the roasted tea and paper to the bearing four-wheeled carriage, from the bench table and chair to the stirrup saddle, the things he invented in the past two years should be as popular as possible in the world.
Since the emperor is still hesitating, the seeds have been dug and planted, just waiting for the follow-up things to continue to ferment.
In Xianyang City, the enthusiasm of the people of Xianyang caused by the appearance of buses continues to rise, and more and more people take the experience, and the ten bus lines are lively and noisy every day.
The ten school buses of the women's college have also become a beautiful scenery in Xianyang City, especially when the women's college is out of school in the morning and evening, a car of little ladies with flowers and branches galloping on the street on the school bus, and countless little hands and faces waving and laughing at the window, which makes countless people look sideways and can not forget for a long time.
And recently, the people of Xianyang suddenly found that many places in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City suddenly had some more bus stop signs, and there were good people who inquired, and these stop signs added ten bus lines, covering more prosperous areas, and some were even at their own doorsteps, and suddenly Xianyang City began to be lively again.
Sure enough, a few days later, there was a batch of lengthened four-wheeled carriages of the same style as the school bus of the women's college put into operation, but the carriage was written on the Xianyang Bus Company, in addition to the fact that the interior of the carriage was simpler, most of the seats were removed, and the middle aisle was widened to increase the standing position, and at the same time, there was an eye-catching wooden sign in the carriage, which read: Respect the law and abide by the law, respect the old and love the young, please give up seats to women and children.
The latest issue of the newspaper also contains a lot of information about bus companies and everything you need to know about getting on the bus, as well as new bus route maps and the names of stops.
With the operation of these buses, it has indeed greatly eased the travel of the people, many people with conditions no longer take the bus and horse, but choose to take the bus, and the bus is most like those who often go out to run errands and businessmen.
Near the bus stop, there are also many small vendors pushing wheelbarrows and carrying burdens to set up stalls, selling some steamed buns or tea snacks, etc., making Xianyang City seem to be more than several times more lively because of the appearance of these buses and bus stops.
These changes in Xianyang City, civil and military officials naturally empathize, every day up and down can see the hustle and bustle on the street, people come and go everywhere are smiling people, and because these vendors selling food and drink appeared, but also solved the problem of many ministers and officials eating, many officials especially like to buy buns and a bowl of soybean milk near the bus stop near the door of the house in the morning, and at the same time can also hear the communication of nearby diners, there are all over the world, it is really a pleasure, even Li Simengyi these ShangqingAt noon, I can't bear my hunger, and sometimes I will buy a pancake fruit or spring rolls at a roadside stall to satisfy my hunger.
Therefore, above the court, because of these recent changes, the officials have quarreled quite fiercely.
Some people very much agree with the theory of domestic demand, believing that the relaxation of commercial laws can stimulate commercial investment and development, and drive the economy with consumption, so that Xianyang will become more and more prosperous, instead of being in a dead state on the streets as before.
Because in the past six months, since the opening of Qinghe Garden, Xianyang has changed differently from the past, under the suggestion of Qinghe Hou, not only postponed the curfew time for half an hour, but also proposed to allow civilians to set up stalls to operate, these small policies The emperor did not hesitate to agree to the face of Qinghe Hou, but since the implementation, the streets and alleys of Xianyang have become more and more lively, and under the influence of the model of Qinghe Garden, a large number of merchants began to decorate relatively spacious shops and miscellaneous houses, and the items sold began to become dazzlingThere are not only high-end consumer goods such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, tea and porcelain, wine and fruit vinegar, but also oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, ready-to-wear shoes and hats, folding fans and umbrellas, bamboo and wood furniture, etc., which are also much more convenient than before, and everyone also feels great convenience.
These changes are obvious to all, and no one can erase the credit brought by the Marquis of Qinghe.
However, many officials are increasingly wary of this change, believing that allowing civilians to operate will distract many from concentrating on work, cropping, and raising livestock, which is detrimental to the agricultural stability of Daqin.
But no matter how noisy it was, the emperor did not make any statement.
Officials at the top such as Li Si and Feng Qujian and Meng Yi also basically did not participate in the discussion of these topics.
Because these things have become a fait accompli, if these operations are strictly ordered to be cancelled again, it will inevitably cause many inconveniences in life, and it will also cause dissatisfaction among the people of Xianyang, and it will also offend the Marquis of Qinghe, which is very unwise.
And this kind of almost silent change in Xianyang City, everything is in the eyes of the emperor, because almost every day a large amount of news will be reported to the palace, and the emperor will slowly appreciate the benefits of this change.
It's just that the abolition of the law that suppressed Shang Jia is a national policy handed down from the ancestors, from the beginning of Shang Yang to the present, although there have been some relaxations, but it has not touched the fundamentals.
Once these laws are completely abolished, the consequences brought by the emperor are still immeasurable, so in the midst of repeated hesitation, he often summons officials from the three provinces and six ministries and some princes and princes and scholars to the palace to discuss the matter, but the end is still noisy and different.
