After Emperor First Emperor sat down, he finished the story in a few words.

Chen Xu knew it after hearing this, put down the teacup and bowed and smiled, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. I have considered it when I formulated the new version of the Lord's Act. It is rare for the Lord. Military merits are still the fastest and most direct way to be awarded. It is just that the Lord's Act has expanded the channels for obtaining merits. It is a merit for soldiers to expand the territory and kill enemies. It is a merit for officials from the court and county government to govern the country. It is also a merit for craftsmen and civilians to build roads and bridges. It is a merit for merchants to drive goods and build factories. If the Qin Dynasty wants to be prosperous and prosperous, everyone will do their own things.

All industries must develop, and the country can be obtained immediately, but they cannot be governed immediately. Governing the country requires a large number of talents, and a large number of elites with pioneering spirit and dedication. Business, agriculture, industry, education, and medical care must emerge and discover a group of special contributors. The court rewards and promotes them, just like the first time when disaster relief was used as a role model to stimulate all classes to serve the country. Only by inspiring the hearts of all classes to serve the country, can our people in Qin be more united and more peaceful and prosperous..."

Before coming, Chen Xu had roughly guessed the reason why Emperor Qin invited him. Faced with a luxurious gift pack worth one billion from the sky, even Qin Shihuang, who was the emperor of the ages, would have a urge to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage.

You should know that the Shaofu now has a tax revenue of less than 100 million yuan per year. Faced with such a large amount of wealth, the First Emperor will inevitably be a little confused and anxious. How to reward the four major families such as Fan is a very sophisticated issue, and it is also very realistic and urgent.

This reward cannot be delayed for too long. If it is delayed for a few more days, there may be many rumors that are unfavorable to the First Emperor, believing that the First Emperor is greedy and greedy.

Moreover, the reward cannot be too bad. Too bad will definitely strangle the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of merchants to serve the country in the future. If the reward is too high, it will even make another group even more dissatisfied, that is, the noble groups who rely on military merits to be awarded titles.

In fact, Chen Xu had already planned to reward the four Fan family members.

At first, he felt that the people and the court were full of uneasiness and jealousy about Fan's large number of families that occupied coal and iron mines and monopolized the steel and cement industry. So he planned to hand over these heavy industries that were related to the lifeline of the country, so as to dispel the suspicion of the people and the court, and at the same time to reassure the First Emperor. In order to appease the four major families, he wanted to modify and implement the new Lord Act to obtain political status for the four major families as compensation.

But later, the Lord's Bill was not implemented with the military system reform. After some consideration, he found that the old version of the Lord's Bill had too many loopholes and was in conflict with the current official system. Therefore, Chen Xu re-designed a new Lord's Bill on the way of inspection.

It just so happened that the four major families had completed the enterprise restructuring plan within their respective scopes. Chen Xu also timely launched the new Lord bill, with a clear purpose, which was to use the large donation from Fan and others as an introduction to open a good start for the smooth implementation of the new Lord bill, and to completely arouse the interest of the people across the country, and the main target is the rich merchant class.

Since ancient times, merchants have been the richest class. This class has one biggest shortcoming, that is, disloyalty.

Merchants are pursuing profits and run wherever they have money. Whoever can make money will go to join them. In the eyes of merchants, making money is the only belief. As for patriotism, it is very luxurious, but there are not many. The blood of the princes of the Central Plains in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period splattered everywhere, but in the eyes of merchants, it is far less than reselling a few trucks of grain and salt back and forth. If the country is gone, then another country will continue to make a fortune.

The nature of merchants is well known to everyone, so many countries are not very popular, but merchants have a huge role, and all countries have to allow them to communicate and operate.

Now that the Great Qin unified China, there were no more princes in the Central Plains. With the development of commercial reform, merchants became more and more like fish in water, and a large amount of money entered the hands of merchants of all sizes like flowing water. In this round of economic construction of the Great Qin, merchants contributed the most, but in fact they were also the group that benefited the most.

But even if Daqin treats merchants so well, the nature of merchants will not change much. If Daqin is in trouble, these merchants will still stand by and watch. Moreover, with the rapid overseas expansion in the next few years, a large number of wealthy merchants will go overseas to make money, enclose land for the country, and even establish themselves as kings, using the huge financial resources earned from Daqin to create their own sphere of influence, so as to seek greater interests and power.

The earth is too big and the territory is too wide. When a large number of merchants do this, the economy of the Qin Dynasty will soon decline. A large number of business elites leave, and a large amount of money goes out, causing the Qin Dynasty to become empty and prosperous, and in the end there is only one empty shell.

What Chen Xu had to do was to tie these merchants together with the future of Daqin with the interests beyond money.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to give these merchants greater power and status and greater political temptation, so that they can speak in the Qin Dynasty and form an interest group that can compete with the nobles and the gentry, so as to actively regard family interests and national interests as one, and lose one to one, and prosper together, so as to ensure the continuous commercial prosperity of the Qin Dynasty.

The warship of Daqin has set sail. If you want smooth sailing in the future, you must win over enough people. Only when everyone works together can the ship sail more smoothly.

"The nature of merchants is to pursue profits, but the prosperity and development of the Qin Dynasty cannot be separated from merchants. In the future, as the broader territory overseas and the West is revealed to the people of the Qin Dynasty, a large number of merchants may turn their attention overseas.

Although this is also a situation where the minister hopes, it is easy to let go but hard to stop. Once these people go overseas and the West, they will soon taste great sweetness. A large number of talents who are proficient in business may not return. From then on, they will make money overseas, resulting in the competitiveness of the Qin Dynasty becoming increasingly weaker and weaker. This is not the minister's hope.

Therefore, the purpose of the new Lord Act was to use a noble status to bind the elites of these merchants to the interests of the Qin Dynasty. No matter where they are, they will always be the nobles of the Qin Dynasty. When they act, they will consider the interests of the Qin Dynasty to a greater or lesser extent. At the same time, the Qin Dynasty also has a certain jurisdiction over them. What's more, the merchants have a relatively small ambition, which is far easier to control than the gentry and powerful men and nobles, and can control them with profit..."

"Is what the Grand Master said the situation mentioned in the supplementary bill?" Chen Xu talked happily, but the First Emperor heard the unspoken voice.

"That is, my supplementary bill is specifically designed to address these situations in the future. The world is too wide. If the Qin Dynasty wants to unify the world, there is no other way than to enfeoff the princes. You can enfeoff the land. However, those deserted islands that are rarely visited and those areas where barbarians live, although they are uncivilized, they have minerals of gold, silver, copper and iron, fertile fields of animal husbandry and farming, and precious things such as pearls, jades and gems. Once these merchants explore overseas, they will inevitably occupy and develop farming. Over time, they will inevitably become prosperous places.

At that time, most of the princes' countries started in the wilderness. In the eight hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the princes of all sizes continued to explore and integrate, and they had the vast territory and prosperity of China today. Now, facing the same situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I think this process is just to repeat it again. With the princes annex the world, the final chariots, the same scripts, the same languages ​​and the same pronunciation, the same world!"

"The Grand Master said it is reasonable..." Emperor Shin-Emperor twisted his beard and drank tea slowly. His face was calm but his fingers were slightly trembling. After a long period of silence, he sighed, "The Great Zhou Dynasty has been eight hundred years, I don't know how many years my Great Qin has... Alas~~"

"Why worry Your Majesty? Flowers bloom and fade, the moon rises and loses, the way of heaven is natural, your Majesty does not know the future of the Great Qin, nor do you know it. It is too early to say it!"

"It's true, it's okay not to say it, but I believe that with the assistance of the Grand Master, my Great Qin will definitely be stronger than the Great Zhou. Today, I have heard the Grand Master's remarks and I am puzzled about the reward of Fan and others. If the Duke is too much, then I will be granted the title of marquis. The four town marquis will all be granted the marquis' mansion, with a fief of thousands of households, and the right to participate in the court. If they can really expand overseas territory in the future, I will not be stingy with the title of marquis. I promise to establish a country and the world is harmonious, and I will definitely do it!" The First Emperor seemed to burst out with a boundless domineering aura, and the slightly melancholy mood just now was wiped out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xu also let out a long sigh and relaxed completely.

"Why do you have to thank the Grand Master? I should thank the Grand Master. If it weren't for the Grand Master's mediation, how could Fan and others give me such a huge benefit? With this great gift, the Shaofu will get tens of millions of profits and taxes out of thin air every year. I can invest this money in more construction. My efforts are at most just a title. How could I not know the importance of that!" Emperor Shi waved his hand with a smile.

In addition to being excited and excited, the First Emperor would naturally contact Chen Xu for the one billion gift package that Fan Yang and others suddenly presented. Even the people and princes and ministers could guess that if Chen Xu had not been connected with him, Fan and others would never have done this.

Chen Xu must have his purpose in doing this.

Then the First Emperor must be cautious about the behavior of Fan and others. Before the emperor figured out Chen Xu's thoughts, he would not give up the matter quickly.

After all, a huge amount of money is enough to fight a battle to destroy a country, and the nature of merchants is well known to everyone. If you pay, you will definitely get rewards. It just depends on what they want.

The ultimate purpose of the new Lord Act is to conquer overseas, target domestic nobles, so that they can eat, drink and have a good reputation. However, only by using the temptation of real seals can we encourage and stimulate more people to go abroad to explore. In the future, the re-publication and revision of the overseas expansion bill and the colonial bill will inevitably be based on the Lord Act. Those who do not have titles are not allowed to establish a country overseas. This can ensure that the Qin Dynasty has more control over overseas, and at the same time, it also gives the Qin Dynasty more legal status as a sect leader. Those who want to be kings will inevitably be attacked by the orthodox princes, in order to force everyone to work hard to get closer to the Qin Dynasty and obtain the authorization of the Qin Dynasty.

There is no free lunch in the world, and of course there is no feast that will never end.

No one can see the ending of the world's trend.

The Sun-Don't Setting Empire in later generations once occupied most of the earth. Although it finally fell apart, cultural invasions and traces have permanently become part of the earth's civilization and will continue for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

And the English grading exam is the eternal pain in Chen Xu's heart.

Chen Xu didn't know the future of the Qin Dynasty.

But as long as you take this step, people all over the world will ask if they meet each other in the future. The lively and joyful celebrations of lions, dragons, lanterns, fireworks and fireworks are definitely not dreams.
