Chapter 337 Exploitation? They have to thank us!
It is very important to develop science and technology and promote the continued progress of productivity.
But the spontaneous iteration of technology is very slow. If you want to speed up, you can only spend money!
Unfortunately, such extravagant behavior as throwing money does not belong to Da Qin.
Every penny of food in Da Qin will either be used directly for war, or indirectly for war. Where will the spare money come from to spend on the technology tree?
Therefore, when Ying Chengyu chose nutrients for Daqin's technology tree, he didn't consider the national treasury at all. He just wanted to spend other people's money to do Daqin's affairs!
Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "If you have money, leisure and time, you are greedy for life and afraid of death and seek a high position."
Ying Zheng's words unconsciously contained a bit of contempt: "Brother Are you talking about merchants?"
Ying Chengyu nodded, but then shook his head: "When the elder brother gives the order, the merchants will definitely respond."
"The merchants will also. Is a major provider of a large number of basic technologies ”
"As long as the rewards given by our Great Qin are heavy enough, these merchants can even try their best to steal technology from other countries to Great Qin!"
"However, merchants can use it, but they cannot reuse it."
"Merchant They are unfaithful, unscrupulous and bold. If merchants are allowed to master the top technology of our Great Qin, they do not need other countries to offer heavier rewards than our Great Qin. As long as other countries also offer rewards, they will definitely let their family members take the technology. Go and exchange for rewards!”
For 100% profit, capital dares to trample all human laws.
For 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging.
But what countries can offer is more than 300% profit?
Countries don’t even need to pay, they just need to come up with a few levels of titles.
The title means a jump in class, power and status, and the prosperity of the family. This is a more attractive consequence than profit!
Ying Chengxuan admitted that there are many good people among merchants, especially in countries such as Han and Chu in this era. The path of merchants is the only way out for many talented people who are unwilling to live in poverty. This makes merchants A mixed bag.
But Ying Chengyu has never been afraid to speculate on the merchants as a group with the greatest malice!
Even merchants who have accepted Confucianism and grew up in a Confucian environment can regard treason and war as business.
Not to mention the merchants in today's world.
Ying Chengxuan is only worried that his assumptions about businessmen are not bad enough!
Ying Zheng nodded happily: "My brother has never been deceived by the appearance of merchants, nor has he appreciated all merchants because of his appreciation of Wen Xinhou. This is excellent."
"It takes thousands of merchants to produce one Wenxinhou."
"Even Marquis Wenxin behaves like a merchant. There are so many ways of speculating, hoarding, and focusing on surplus but underestimating the general trend!"
"Merchants can use it, but they must use it with caution. , Beat it all the time!"
Ying Chengxuan agreed: "What the elder brother said is true."
"The law of secrecy of craftsmen's advice is to a large extent aimed at merchants. ”
“If they dare to let the branch take the technology to other countries, all the clansmen left in Da Qin will be buried with them!”
"We, the Qin Dynasty, can even use the leakage of technology as an excuse to directly send troops to attack other countries!"
The reason for sending troops because your country stole our country's nuclear weapons manufacturing blueprints is comparable to the reason why one of our soldiers was lost in your country's territory. It is more defensible to send troops!
The more Ying Cheng said, the more excited he became: "Because of the law of secrecy, merchants cannot obtain the most sophisticated technology in our Great Qin."
"If they want to obtain a title, the easiest way is The technology was stolen from other countries and brought to the Qin Dynasty. "
"When there is nothing left to steal, they can only gather the craftsmen and study on the basis of the technology that is known to the world."
"This will cause a lot of unnecessary expenses, but this is exactly what I want."
"Because most of their unnecessary expenses will be collected by the head of Guizhou in my Da Qin Dynasty, and the head of Guizhou will also be a little richer. . ”
What do merchants do with so much money?
Leave it to grow mold and hair in the cellar?
Take it out and hire someone! Buy resources! What a waste! What a waste!
Only money that circulates is money, and only by letting money circulate can the leaders of Guizhou make money!
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up: "If this is the case, how much tax can our Daqin collect?!"
"This is gentle and will not easily cause merchants to flee, even if it is not a war. Adopt it! ”
When researching technology, you have to use several types of wood, water, and earth, right?
Pay the Shanze tax first.
All the minerals in Da Qin belong to Ying Zheng.
Also pay the money to buy various ores.
Although Daqin does not yet have transaction tax, personal income tax and other taxes, other taxes are enough to satisfy merchants!
The specific policy has not yet been formulated, but Ying Zheng has already thought of the subsequent implementation principles.
In peacetime, the title was used to induce merchants to spend a lot of money, and the court collected a lot of taxes.
During the war, liquidation began. To see which merchant was dissatisfied with his money, he would directly come to seize his family property, and then recruit his whole family to join the army!
The corner of Ying Chengyu's mouth raised slightly: "That's it, they have to thank us!"
Even though the strategy formulated by the two brothers is very harsh, compared with the current situation of the merchants, Every word is like rain!
Don’t care whether it’s a puddle of sweet rain or a drop of sweet rain.
Just tell me if it’s Ganlin!
Ying Zheng picked up a piece of warm honey bean curd cake and handed it to Ying Chengyu, and asked with a smile: "Since Brother Wang is not going to reuse merchants, who is Brother Wang going to use to promote the technological development you mentioned?"
Ying Chengxuan said while eating cake: "In our Qin Dynasty, the people who have money, leisure and time but dare not go to the battlefield as soldiers are not only merchants."
"There are also others. A group of people."
"Royal clan members!"
Ying Zheng looked surprised: "Royal clan clan members?"
"Are you going to let the royal clan members promote the development of technology?"
Ying Zheng really couldn't connect the well-dressed and indifferent clan members with the craftsmen.
Ying Chengxuan nodded and said: "That's right."
"Since Lord Shang's reform, the rights of the clan members of the royal family of Great Qin have become less and less. Today, they are almost Yu Wu. "
"But this is not only because of the strategies of the previous kings, but also because there are few talented people in the royal family."
"Our Daqin is now selecting and appointing talents, rather than judging official positions based on blood."
"They are not capable enough, but their vision is very high. They don't look down on ordinary small positions, so naturally they cannot be used by the country. "
Ying Zheng nodded with emotion: "What Brother Wang said is true."
"Brother, why are you afraid of re-employing the clan?" "If there is someone as big as my brother in the Qin clan. How can I not use my talent?”
"It's a pity that there are no talents!"
Judging from the results, Yingzheng did not reuse his clan members in the end.
But with Ying Zheng’s ability, skills and ambition, if there is a great talent in the clan, wouldn’t Ying Zheng dare not use it?
It is true that the talents of the clan children are not worth the risk Ying Zheng takes!
Ying Chengyu nodded: "But these royal family members do not necessarily feel that they are talentless, and their desire for high positions has never faded."
"It just so happens that even if they don't have great talents, their talents and learning are much better than ordinary people."
"Even the poorest royal family members have much more property than ordinary wealthy families. Even wealthier than mid-level merchants."
"They have nothing to do and plenty of time."
"Because there is no pressure to survive, they are not willing to work at the grassroots level like ordinary Guizhou soldiers. Get up.”
“In my opinion, instead of letting these people waste their money, we should find something to do for them!”
There are only two palms among the relatives of the Great Qin royal family who hold the title of king.
Most of the clan members, like Han Fei, do not have titles. If they join the army, they can only start as pawns according to military rules.
Their status cannot bring them much benefit. On the contrary, in order to maintain the military code and calm the morale of the army, there will always be at least two military law officials keeping a close eye on them.
Once the law is violated, it will be punished immediately without mercy!
This leads to a question, how many people are willing to go to the battlefield and work hard as a soldier when there is no shortage of food, drink, and the company of a large group of beautiful women?
Very little!
So in fact, the royal family members of Da Qin have become the losers of Da Qin.
And Ying Chengyu hopes to mobilize the power of this group of people!
Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "Brother Nai can't give them too high a title."
"The military merit and title system is a weapon for our Qin Dynasty to conquer foreign countries, and it must not be used by the royal family. Defiled! ”
Ying Chengxuan smiled and said: "It's just a matter of continuing the policy of Marquis Wenxin and conferring low-level titles according to merit."
"They have no choice."
"This is one of their few There are many opportunities to get a title without working hard.”
“If you have a trustworthy and talented clan member, you can also add him to the general’s house and allow him to have access to all craftsmen. With his skills, he will be promoted to an official position. "
"With the addition of official titles, the clan will make progress."
The possibility of rebellion and coup by the royal family members is high, but the possibility of treason is relatively small. With them in charge of the research and development of core technology, Ying Chengyu can feel more at ease.
Ying Zheng asked again: "Do you think my royal family members have the ability to delve into craftsmanship, or even promote development?"
Ying Chengxuan said seriously: "Perhaps I can , or maybe not.”
“No matter whether the current royal family members have this ability, this is a way out for the royal family members, whether they want to take this path themselves or whether they want their heirs to take it. This path is up to them to choose."
"And even clan members without research capabilities can play some role."
"Instead of letting these clans raise chickens, dogs, and thieves, why not let them raise people who are good at craftsmanship!"
Clans with talent and scientific research ability are recruited into the official workshop to engage in scientific research.
Clans without talent can also rely on their status, connections and resources to obtain more talents than merchants, just like merchants who spend money in exchange for technology.
Then Ying Chengyu smiled and said: "The left and right are just using waste."
"Rather than letting them eat my Daqin corn, it is better to let them move around."
Ying Zheng nodded happily: "That's true."
"Since Brother Wang has thought about it all, I will leave this matter to Brother Wang."
"It just so happens that Brother Wang is Zong Zhengcheng. , this matter is also within the responsibility of Brother Wang!"
Ying Chengyuan raised his head in astonishment and looked at Ying Zheng with shock in his eyes.
Good guy.
I'm still wondering, why do so many simple truths still ask me, is the co-author waiting for me here? !
What Ying Chengxuan is talking about now is just the overall plan. Not to mention its implementation, drafting laws and formulating specific rewards and punishment measures are enough to make Ying Chengxuan lose a lot of hair!
But when the words came to this, Ying Chengyu could only nod his head: "Okay!"
Ying Zheng continued: "Which craftsmanship should be rewarded with money? , which craftsmanship is worthy of being awarded a title, should be managed by a dedicated person."
"This position will know the secrets of all the craftsmanship in our Daqin, which is really a crucial position."
Ying Zheng said bluntly: "Brother Nai can't trust others."
"How about I take the lead in setting up an office to deal with this matter?"
Ying Chengxuan thought about it in his mind. , found that no one was more suitable for this position than him, so he could only grit his teeth and nod: "That's okay!"
Ying Zheng continued: "Another..."
Ying Zheng just said Saying just one word, Ying Chengyu raised his hands in fear: "Stop!"
"There's nothing more!"
"The burden on my body is already heavy enough, and I won't be able to grow taller if I bear it any more!"
Ying Zheng heard this and scolded with a smile: "You lazy guy Shuzi!”
“It’s just a few small things. As for being tired?”
Ying Chengqiao glared: “A few small things?”
"Military Academy Order, Zong Zhengcheng, Li Lingfa, build a new technical assessment yamen, and also make noises among clan members and manage fiefdoms."
"Brother, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about 'little things'!"< br>
The more he spoke, the more frightened the look on Ying Chengyu’s face became.
It’s not that I don’t know. After thinking about it like this, Ying Chengyu felt that he could hardly breathe!
