Chapter 557: Donation
"The two counties have suffered a catastrophic flood, and Your Majesty wants to open a warehouse to release grain to help the victims?"
"I, Daqin, have never had this matter, Your Majesty is really benevolent and righteous!"
"Not only that, but Your Majesty also has to appoint craftsmen and doctors, and also requisition tens of thousands of livestock from Hebei to distribute them for free......"
"The victims of the disaster will be grateful to Dade for this unprecedented move......"
"Well, the newspaper also has to raise old clothes to be transported to the two counties of Qidong to distribute them to the victims for free, this is another good deed, there are still a few sets of old clothes, go back and let the lady turn it out and sew it up and donate it to the newspaper!"
"What Brother Tai said is good, the two counties are thousands of miles away, and they go back and forth for more than a month, and I am afraid that I can't do it when I go to help the victims, but I can still ...... by sending a few old clothes that I don't wear."
"A certain hometown is in Qi County, I don't know if the family is good, no, I want to go back......"
"Water and fire are ruthless, this was already ten days ago, if it wasn't for the newspaper to publish it, I wouldn't necessarily know in another ten days, it's useless for my brother to go back in a hurry, and it's inconvenient to go back and forth, it's better to go to the newspaper to inquire and see when the old clothes they collected will be delivered, you can also go to help, and go back with you by the way!"
"Brother Tai's words woke up the person in the dream, so and so go to the newspaper to ask!"
After getting the newspaper, many people stood directly on the street and began to discuss and watch, and most of them were also accustomed to reading the first edition of the imperial decree and the actual news, after reading it, many people began to go home to prepare some old clothes for donation, and the scribes and merchants whose hometowns were in the two counties also flocked to the newspaper to ask for more accurate news, and many of them directly asked for help in collecting and sorting out old clothes, and doing their part for the parents and villagers in their hometowns.
"Ask the merchant ships that travel between the two counties of Qi and Dong County to help transport used clothes?"
In the south of the city, where the merchants gathered, some merchants who had obtained the newspaper gathered to discuss the only topic on the front page of the newspaper that had anything to do with the merchants.
"I'm afraid this matter is thankless, don't rush into it!"
"What Brother Fu said is that I don't feel rash to agree, I went to Qilu and Qilu for more than 2,000 miles, and there are a lot of clothes, these clothes are not grain, copper and iron, they are all frivolous and big, now the river boat is not more than ten zhang, and the width is not three zhang, if the newspaper collects tens of thousands of clothes, I am afraid that dozens of boats can be transported, it is good to say, it can be reached in three or five days with a smooth wind, but the return depends on the boatmen and slaves to lead it with a rope, at least more than a month to return to Xianyang, this comes and goes to consume countless money and food......"
"Yes, I was still interested in helping, but it's better to give up if you think about it!"
"I wonder if a few brothers have seen the last few words?" One of the tall, lanky businessmen asked, pointing to the news of the free advertisement.
"I don't know what to do, since it's an invitation to help, and I haven't said that I want to pay for food, this must be similar to credit!"
"Yes, maybe it's just a gimmick, Brother Qi don't think about it!"
Several merchants shook their heads and said they didn't know, and there were other people who persuaded them not to think about good things, and there was no way to do business without money, even if the emperor couldn't do things without money.
The tall and thin man surnamed Qi was silent, and after the discussion had almost dispersed, he took the carriage on the newspaper table and went straight to the newspaper office.
Since the three chapters of the imperial court, the victory in Henan led to participate in the three chapters of the law of the merchants to make a lot of money, just in Xianyang, there have been caravans to drive thousands of Hun horses, each of which is 8,000 yuan, among which there are more rare BMW sold for tens of thousands of dollars, in the recent period, Jingyang County, not far from Xianyang City, has become a huge horse trading market, the daily crowd is raging, the rich businessmen from the south to the north gather here, groups of northern horses are traded here, Horse dealers everywhere feel like they are celebrating the New Year every day.
These horses ordinary people go to Henan can not buy, according to the original agreement of the three chapters of the law, the spoils of war are given priority to supply these businessmen who participated in the creation of horse equipment, and these businessmen who participated in the three chapters of the law are not a stupid person, since they have the right of first refusal, it is natural to smash the pot and sell iron must be grabbed first, and it is too cheap, a sheep is less than thirty yuan, and a foal is only two hundred yuan, which is completely the same as picking up money, these foals arranged for Hun slaves to raise for two years and then a healthy horse, In this civilized country based on farming, large livestock such as cattle and horses will never be sold, and the common people cannot afford to buy them, but those princes, princes, ministers, officials and nobles are in great demand.
Ordinary front-mounted two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive carriage if replaced with a Hun horse, the force instantly increased more than ten times, sitting on the majestic Hun horse horse-drawn carriage, instantly there is a feeling of arrogance, that is sitting in the Hummer H1 to see the QQ car of the sense of sight, spontaneously born I can crush the ambition.
Therefore, the three chapters of the covenant not only allowed Great Qin to win an unprecedented victory, but also quickly created a large number of giant merchants who relied on cattle and horses to get rich, and now other merchants in Henan are almost inaccessible.
At the beginning, the three chapters of the covenant were proposed by the Marquis of Qinghe.
And the people who listened to the words of the Marquis of Qinghe all made a fortune, and it was a windfall, a wealth that many businessmen could not dream of accumulating in their lifetime.
A small businessman earns one or two thousand yuan a year, which can make the family worry about food and clothing, and it can be regarded as a small rich family; If you earn three or five thousand yuan a year, you can basically be regarded as a wealthy family, and you can raise a few ordinary cattle and horses, and if you earn tens of thousands of dollars a year, then you can be considered a rich family, buying slaves in and out of the carriage and horses. But these are all small businessmen, as well as rich businessmen and giant businessmen, whose annual income is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, but this group of merchants caused by the third chapter of the law has an annual income of at least one million, and completely controls the trade of cattle, horses and livestock in Henan and the Central Plains, and this process will continue, and finally form a group of super giant merchants who monopolize the trade of large livestock and wool and fur goods in the Central Plains.
As long as Daqin does not fall, and these merchants control Henan to domesticate cattle and horses, no one will be able to squeeze into this market anymore.
At the same time, this group of people monopolized the steel smelting and saddle production in the Central Plains, and monopolized the procurement channels of the Daqin court for horse equipment, thus forming a closely related interest group with the court, and these people will inevitably take refuge in some princes and princes as big trees, I heard that a large number of merchants in Nanyang County are all closely related to the Qinghe Marquis, the last time the Qinghe Marquis returned to Nanyang to marry, hundreds of merchants in Nanyang County carried the car for it, this matter caused a huge sensation after the news came out, and the merchants of Nanyang County are now also in Daqin like a fish in water, Luyang Iron and Steel Plant, Wuyang Iron and Steel Plant, Wancheng Saddle Factory, Yangcheng Ordnance Factory, these factories developed with new horse pawns are all famous in Daqin, and every day there is a steady stream of horse pawn equipment that is handed over to the military department to be transported to the northwest military camp after being accepted by the supervisors of the imperial court, equipped with 30,000 new horse pawns, and these armaments are all sent to the imperial court in vain.
There has long been speculation among the people that after the autumn of this year, His Majesty will issue an edict on the expedition again, and the Huns and Donghu are all targets, and the spoils of war will still be the vegetables in the pot of these steel saddle merchants, and outsiders will not be able to grab food, so as to compensate these merchants for their contributions to Daqin for free.
Today, Metropolis Daily issued this message inviting businessmen to help deliver clothes, although it was only one sentence and inconspicuous, and it did not say money and food remuneration, but it mentioned the word advertising.
Therefore, the businessman surnamed Qi was slightly moved, not to mention that he was still a former Qi nobleman, Tian Qi replaced Jiang, and Jiang changed his surname to Qi, but he never forgot his motherland, and now he has no idea of returning to the country, but in the face of the homeland created by the ancestors of the former Taigong and Jiang, he still wants to do his part for the compatriots in his hometown who were affected by the disaster.
Daqin Metropolis Newspaper These people who have nothing to do with Qi will collect old clothes and transport them to Qilu to help the victims, and they Qi people naturally don't want to be left behind, not to mention that he originally had seven or eight merchant ships, and he has been doing business along Qilu and the Great River for many years, selling grain, cloth and other messy goods, and this time he also plans to take advantage of the summer grain harvest to go to Qilu and Qilu to buy grain, which can be regarded as a way.
What's more, the newspaper was founded by the Marquis of Qinghe, and it would never write a few meaningless words in the newspaper for no reason.
The two words of this advertisement must have other meanings, and like the three chapters of the Covenant, it may be a great opportunity to become famous and make a fortune.
When the businessman surnamed Qi came to the newspaper office, the street outside the newspaper office was already crowded.
A large number of Xianyang people enthusiastically came to donate clothes, some one or two, some three or five, and some princes and princes directly used horse-drawn carts and carts to pull the old clothes and bedding over, and the newspaper also hired hundreds of helpers to help carry them, and invited dozens of women to help sort out these old clothes, a group of students from Weihe College and many scribes who came to help spontaneously braved the scorching heat to register records and help count clothes, and more than 20 donation points lined up along the street were full of people. A large number of old clothes were selected and folded and packed and then arranged for horse-drawn carriages to be pulled to the warehouse, and the rest that was too worn was not discarded, and was still packed and sent to the paper mill outside the city.
Looking at this lively scene, the businessman surnamed Qi felt a little sour in his eyes inexplicably.
These people are not paid, in order to help his former fathers and fellow villagers.
And among these victims, there may also be his relatives.
Just when he made up his mind to help deliver these clothes even if he was not paid a stone of food this time, he was grabbed by another scribe, stuffed the brush and paper in his hand into his hand, and said: "You don't need to go in to say hello, just help here, anyway, they are just registering a name, but there will be a free meal later......
The merchant surnamed Qi couldn't cry or laugh, and when he was about to explain, several carriages drove over and stopped in front of him, and a few palace people and chamberlains jumped down on them, and one of the palace people pointed to the clothes stacked on several carriages and said: "These are the clothes that the concubine arranged to collect from the warehouse of the palace and the palace maids, let me wait to send them, you sort them out and see if they are suitable and send them to the disaster area together......
After the palace man finished speaking, he ordered several chamberlains to remove all the clothes from the carriage and then turned to leave.
There are hundreds of pieces of clothing, including clothes, shoes, hats, and bedding, and most of them are still brand new.
Everyone in Xianyang knows that Concubine Shu was originally a native of Qi, beautiful and gentle, and was once the beloved concubine of Qi Wangjian, and after coming to Xianyang, she heard that she was also deeply liked by the emperor.
Therefore, the merchant surnamed Qi did not intend to explain, and began to register under the inventory of the helpers and several women, and after the inventory was completed and folded neatly, a piece of registered hemp pulp paper was attached to it so that it could be distributed at that time, and the name of the donor was also attached, and the merchant surnamed Qi respectfully wrote the word Shufei on it.
The clothes donated by the concubine were quickly sorted out and sent away, and then countless people poured up with their clothes, so the businessman surnamed Qi also concentrated on helping, and this busy was close to two hours, close to noon, the canteen helpers of the newspaper hall used horse-drawn carts and wooden barrels to transport several large buckets of rice, including steamed buns, pickles, rice porridge, loofah chicken soup, although it was not rich, but for many helpers, this was already a very rare delicacy.
The merchant surnamed Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was already sweating at this time, he took the steamed buns handed by the helper, and got together with a few students of Weihe students and a few other scribes who helped to eat rice porridge and pickles.
