Curious in my heart, I couldn't help but quickly asked: "What is the New Deal?"
The subordinate replied: "It's the new national project bidding policy!"
"Project bidding?"
Feng Quji frowned, feeling even more surprised.
Is it necessary to be so anxious about project bidding?What's the point of rushing to issue this decree when the treasury is empty?
Feng Quji couldn't understand it.
A subordinate at the side guessed: "Perhaps Li Xiang is eager to show his loyalty to Prime Minister Zhong. After all, the project bidding is part of the 'sustainable development strategy' formulated by Prime Minister Zhong several months ago."
Feng Quji nodded, and was about to say that it should be so, but when he looked back, it wasn't right!
For project bidding, the state treasury does not need to advance money and food in advance.
Is it...
famine?
As soon as this answer popped into his head, Feng Quji was stunned!
It turns out that what Li Yang said in court yesterday about relying on merchants to help the disaster was not to solicit donations from merchants, but...to let rich merchants hire disaster victims to build projects!
Thinking of this, Feng Quji froze on the spot.
Although he was a political enemy, Feng Quji had to admit that he was once again shocked by Li Yang's ingenuity.
This Li Yang... how could he think of such a good solution?
Obviously, if the project bidding is really successful, the current famine can basically be solved.
Thinking of this, Feng Quji couldn't help but smile wryly, this person is really terrifying!
…………
At the same time, Li Yang, who had returned to court, was accompanied by Han Xin and Li You, and rushed to Tianxiaju Restaurant, holding in his hand the order of the new national project bidding policy...
Tianxiaju Restaurant.
At this time, the most powerful people in Xianyang City, more than 20 wealthy businessmen, have gathered in Tianxiaju Restaurant under the contact of Ba Shi, looking forward to Li Yang's success.
Not long after, Li Yang finally came to Tianxiaju.
A group of wealthy businessmen, led by Ba Shi, lined up in front of the restaurant to welcome them, and clapped their hands together and shouted: "Meet the Prime Minister!"
The rich merchants in Xianyang all know that Li Yang is the most respected person among the three prime ministers in the court, and he is also Fusu's teacher, with a promising future, so everyone naturally dare not be disrespectful.
Although the name of Prime Minister Zhong is very famous, everyone has never really seen it.
Now, after finally seeing Li Yang's true face, everyone was shocked by Li Yang's age.
Founding the government to reform the government, taking charge of the legal affairs, and defeating Zhao Gao. The person who can do all these is actually a young man in his early twenties. How can this not make everyone horrified and convinced?
"Everyone, you are welcome!" Li Yang smiled, and slightly cupped his hands. He was an extremely respectful and virtuous corporal, and warmed the hearts of all the wealthy businessmen.
Everyone automatically moved out of the central avenue, and stretched out their hands to ask Li Yang to go first.
Li Yang was no longer polite, and strode into the restaurant. At this time, the diners in the restaurant were cleared. bit.
After everyone was seated, they all sat upright, holding their faces and holding their breath, for fear of causing trouble in front of the Prime Minister.
Li Yang smiled: "You don't need to be nervous. The truth is that I invite you to meet today to discuss business. Since we are discussing business, we must pay attention to equality. Everyone, please relax."
Everyone smiled and nodded.
Li Yang said again: "The purpose of inviting you all to meet, I think Bashi should tell you all, right?"
Everyone nodded and said, "Boss Ba said that the Prime Minister wants to contract us the Great Wall, Qinling Mausoleum, Efang and other projects."
Li Yang nodded: "Exactly, this is the decree on the national project bidding and the regulations related to the bidding, everyone circulated."
As he said that, Han Xin handed over the new decrees and bidding regulations issued by the Development and Reform Agency to the merchants for them to circulate among each other.
The articles of association for the bidding are written in great detail, including the method of contracting the project, the method of payment for the project, and related matters such as project acceptance.
Of course, Li Si consulted Li Yang to write this bidding regulation.
For this reason, Li Yang has borrowed the engineering bidding procedures of later generations. For example, taking the Great Wall project as an example, it is similar to the road and bridge construction projects of later generations. The total length of the sections is hundreds of miles, and some sections are more than ten miles. This is to allow businessmen to take over engineering projects of different lengths based on their own strength.
Moreover, in order to reassure businessmen, the payment method is not to check and accept the payment after the completion of the project, but to pay according to the completion stage of the project. For example, when the project is 30.00% completed, it can be used as a stage to start acceptance.
It can be said that this bidding matter is extremely fair to both parties.
In particular, each bidding section also listed the bidding price, and these prices were calculated by Li Si's people based on the number of people in previous projects, reasonable labor costs, and material costs.Of course, in order to make the businessmen willing to take over these projects, the bidding prices of these projects leave enough room for the businessmen to benefit.
After about a quarter of an hour, more than [-] wealthy businessmen had read the decree and bidding regulations, and everyone seemed a little excited, because this can be said to be the biggest deal they have ever seen in their life.
Moreover, the bidding price of the project made every businessman red-eyed.If you can really take over the project at the above price, you will definitely make a lot of money.
"This big business, are you interested?"
Seeing that everyone had read the decree and regulations, Li Yang asked with a smile.

PS: In the past two days, I have been holding banquets at home in the countryside. I have been very busy. I didn’t even sleep much last night. I was too tired, so I got out of this chapter.Let's see if I can catch another chapter in the middle of the night.I hope everyone will forgive me.
Chapter 97 Benefit the Country, the People, and Self
Everyone nodded, and a wealthy businessman surnamed Hu said: "To tell the truth, Prime Minister Zhong, this is indeed the biggest business I have ever seen in my life. And the bidding price above is indeed extremely attractive, haha."
Everyone also laughed along with it.
Li Yang naturally understood that they still had concerns, so he said: "Since everyone is interested, that's a good thing. Of course, if you have any doubts, it's okay to say so."
Everyone glanced at each other, and then the rich businessman surnamed Hu said: "Prime Minister, the contracting methods of these projects, to be honest, have been written very carefully in the bidding regulations, and for me and other businessmen, they are already very detailed. It's fair. It's just... I heard that the national treasury is empty, can the national treasury provide money and food for such a large project?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly, and said worriedly: "That's right, if we spend all our money on the project and hire people to construct it, but the treasury is unable to settle the bill with us when we return, this... I'm afraid we will go bankrupt. "
In fact, Ba Shi had mentioned this worry in front of Li Yang, so Li Yang was not surprised.
Li Yang made a very surprised look, and said: "Why do you think so?"
Everyone said: "Could it be that the news I waited for was wrong? The treasury is full of money and food?"
Li Yang smiled, and said calmly: "Your news is certainly correct. The national treasury is indeed running out of money and food at the moment after years of large-scale construction projects and corvee labor across the country. However, this spring, a new policy has been implemented, and 200 million All the servants were disbanded and returned to their hometowns to farm. Now, in the whole territory of our Great Qin, every field must be full of grains and chestnuts, and the autumn harvest will be imminent. It will not take two or three months for the tax to be collected, and the treasury will surely be full. How can it be impossible to pay for your project? "
