Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

Everyone nodded, Li Yang's words made sense.

This year, because all the servants were disbanded, the situation of no one to cultivate the fields in previous years has been completely resolved. If taxes are collected this year, they will definitely be collected in full. In this way, the national treasury will indeed be very substantial.

but……

Everyone was still worried, and another wealthy businessman said cautiously: "What Prime Minister Zhong said is indeed reasonable, but...there is a severe famine in the world today, and I heard that there are already rebellions in Kuaiji County, Pei County, and Sishui County in the Dajiang River Basin. , I am worried that under such a chaotic situation, whether this tax can be collected is still... not very clear."

Obviously, this was the key point, and everyone nodded their heads.

The world is in chaos, everyone is starting to rebel, how can it be possible to pay money, food and taxes?

Li Yang understood what they meant, and said: "To be honest, this is actually the reason why I want to contract the project to you!"

"Oh?"

Everyone was at a loss for a moment.

The businessman surnamed Hu asked: "What does Prime Minister Zhong mean by this?"

Li Yang didn't answer immediately, but asked back: "The truth is, let me ask you, is the bidding price of the project high for you?"

Everyone was taken aback, looked at each other, and smiled embarrassedly: "If the above price is used, the profit is already very attractive."

Li Yang nodded and said: "My Daqin gave up the great benefits to you. Could it be that my Daqin didn't know how to build such a project? No, the reason why my Daqin gave up the benefits to you is actually to seek a win-win situation."

"Win-win?" Everyone was even more confused, completely unable to understand what Li Yang meant by "win-win".

Li Yang said with a smile: "Everyone said that there is a serious famine in the world, and there are even more rebellions in the river basin. I would like to ask you the truth. Now that the new policy is implemented, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. Why do they still rebel?"

The rich merchants replied: "This...of course it is because of the famine."

Li Yang nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, it's the famine. If there is no famine, the people will naturally not rebel under the New Deal. So, as long as the famine problem is solved, the chaos will be eradicated, right?"

All the rich merchants nodded, but agreed with Li Yang's words.

With the abolition of continuous sitting and light corvee, it can be said that people all over the world have seen the hope of living and working in peace and harmony.As long as we survive the current famine and wait until the autumn harvest, it can be said that Daqin will be completely stable and peaceful.

Even if a small group of people want to rebel, there will be no waves at all.

At this time, Li Yang went on to say: "The win-win situation mentioned by the truth is that Daqin contracted the national project to you to benefit you, and you helped Daqin solve the famine and immediately started to hire the victims. In this way, the victims If there is a way to make a living, for Daqin, the chaos will be eradicated, but for you businessmen, the cost of hiring disaster victims is so low, and the profit is even greater, isn't this a win-win situation?"

"This……"

Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded.

Now they finally understood why Daqin contracted these big projects to them. It turned out that it was for them to help solve the problems of the victims caused by the famine.

Of course, they could become the most powerful wealthy businessmen in the Qin country, and they were all extremely smart people, so they immediately understood that Li Yang's strategy was brilliant.

That's right, as long as they are willing to take over these projects, the famine can indeed be solved completely, and they themselves can also hire labor for construction at a small cost, so it has to be said to be a win-win situation.

Li Yang continued: "Business, of course, is to pursue a win-win situation. Both sides seek profit. As long as it is beneficial to oneself, there is nothing to do. Now, in the territory of Daqin, the fields are full of half-ripe chestnuts. As long as the immediate famine is resolved, three Months later, the national treasury will be full, and even if there are a few thieves and thieves who want to rebel in my great army of millions, we will wipe them out in an instant. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any worries about this business?"

"This……"

Everyone was speechless for a moment, because if they did what Li Yang said, the victims would have a way to survive, and the chaos would stop. When the autumn harvest came, the treasury would naturally have money and food to pay for their projects.

Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, obviously wanting to see who else has concerns.

At this time, Ba Shi stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, Prime Minister Zhong has already explained the problem very clearly. Do you have any concerns? Anyway, whether you want to do this big business or not, I hope The family must be settled. One is to make money, and the other is to help Daqin solve the chaos caused by the famine. My Ba family does not want to see chaos in the world, and all business money and food in various places are robbed by thieves."

I have to say that Bashi's words are really useful.

When all the wealthy businessmen heard this, they all nodded in sympathy.

A businessman said: "What Boss Ba said is that the business of my Wang family in Kuaiji County, Pei County, and Sishui County will all be damaged, especially the commercial firms in Pei County and Sishui County. All the money and food will be confiscated by the rebels. If this chaos continues, my Wang family's business in the Dajiang River Basin will probably disappear."

Another person also said: "Isn't it true that every time the rebels attack a city, they will confiscate all the money and grain of the city, and use it as food and wages, alas!"

Ba Shi saw that the time was ripe, so he said: "Since this is the case, you have no hesitation. Undertaking national projects is a good thing that benefits the country, the people, and yourself. This matter will surely make us businessmen respected by others."

Li Yang also hurriedly said: "Ba Shi is right. This is a matter of benefiting the country, the people and oneself. The Great Qin will not forget you, and the people will not forget you. The truth may allow you to erect a monument next to the project, so that future generations Children and grandchildren know who built these eternal projects, so that your name will be passed down for thousands of years."

Worries have long been dispelled, and now you are famous and profitable. If you don't want to at this time, you will not be a shrewd businessman.

A group of businessmen clapped their hands together and said, "We are willing to solve the famine problem and undertake national projects for Great Qin."

Li Yang was overjoyed, slapped the countertop, and laughed: "Okay! You all relieve my worries for Daqin today. In the future, Daqin will live up to your vision. I can assure you that I will definitely let the name of merchant in the future. , respected."

Everyone hurriedly said: "Thank you, Prime Minister Zhong!"

Li Yang valued and relied on merchants. In fact, everyone had heard about this matter from Ba Shi, and Li Yang relied on their merchants to solve the famine problem. This also showed that the status and role of merchants was very important to him.

Now, hearing him say that the status of businessmen will be respected in the future, I still want to believe it in my heart, and the excitement is beyond words.

Chapter 98 Collusion between government and business

The project bidding matter received the support and response of more than 20 most powerful businessmen in Daqin, and Li Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this matter, the Ba family played a very important role. If it weren't for the Ba family's involvement, contact and leadership, these businessmen would not have trusted Li Yang so easily.

After all, everyone knows that the Ba family is Li Yang's confidant, and the business that the Ba family is willing to participate in will naturally not be a loss-making business.

Because it is related to the famine problem, too much delay is not allowed. Since this matter has the support of the merchants, the sooner the better, after all, one more day of delay means that countless victims will go hungry for one more day, and there are countless victims here. Starve to death one day.

It was not too late, so Li Yang decided on the spot to officially hold the bidding two days later, and at the same time let these more than 20 top businessmen take a good lead and publicize the project bidding to other businessmen.

Although it was only two days, driven by these more than 20 businessmen, within two days, the project bidding matter detonated the entire business community.

The 12 rich merchants in the entire Xianyang City, almost everyone knows about the project bidding, and everyone is talking about the project bidding.

Especially knowing that more than 20 top wealthy businessmen are keen on this business, which makes the businessmen below jealous, and they are all ready to get a share of this cake.

All of a sudden, the entire business world was full of energy, eagerly waiting for the bidding conference!

…………

Two days passed in a blink of an eye...

On this day, it was finally time for the bidding conference to be held.

The National Development and Reform Commission is responsible for this bidding conference, and tens of thousands of merchants signed up.

The project is divided into more than 100 projects according to the bidding sections, so the bidding conference is also divided into hundreds of sessions, but even so, hundreds of businessmen participated in the bidding for each session.
