Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

The originally large National Development and Reform Commission Council Hall was now full of more than a hundred businessmen, all declaring their own bidding prices, and more than a hundred people competed for a project.

The whole meeting is so lively!

At the same time, it was the time of the early dynasty in the Qilin Hall.

The ministers and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all applauded when they learned that Li Yang planned to solve the famine problem through project bidding.

Originally, everyone thought that he was planning to solicit donations from businessmen.

How much food can be raised for donations? For 12 rich merchants in Xianyang City, the money and food raised for donations can solve the disaster victims in a county, which is not bad.However, more than [-] counties in Daqin caused disasters, which can be said to be a drop in the bucket.

however……

Unexpectedly, Li Yang used the bidding of the project to let the merchants hire the disaster victims. In this way, the merchants would naturally be willing to invest all their family resources in order to make a profit from it.This is a wonderful plan!

Above the court, everyone looked at Li Yang in admiration. Why does this guy always surprise everyone so much?And every time I think of a ghost idea, it is so novel and amazing?Can't help but make people applaud.

What a genius!

To be honest, all the people present, whether civil servants or generals, asked themselves, it is really impossible to think of using project bidding to solve the famine problem.

This point, everyone has to accept.

Of course, after the emperor Yingzheng learned of this situation, he was full of praise for Li Yang.

This guy really can surprise him every time.

He can think of what others can't think of, and he dares to think of what others dare not think of.

Uh... Although I was a little arrogant when I spoke a few days ago.

however……

His method is really good, it deserves the word "colorful".

Ying Zheng praised happily: "Li Yang, if the problem of the victims of the disaster can be solved this time, I will definitely remember your great contribution!"

Li Yang smiled happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, it is the duty of a minister to share your majesty's worries and the safety of the people, and I dare not claim credit."

"Haha, you must be credited for the credit." Ying Zheng laughed twice, and then suddenly said a little worried: "But you really have confidence that these businessmen will be willing to take over these national projects?"

Li Yang nodded and said confidently: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this is a matter of benefiting the country, the people, and oneself. How can a businessman not understand this kind of truth. I believe that today's bidding conference will be very lively. Everyone strives to be a patriotic businessman and relieve the worries of Great Qin."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he rolled his eyes a little. If a businessman had this awareness, he would not be called a businessman anymore. A few years ago, he would not have to forcibly move 12 wealthy businessmen into Xianyang City for surveillance.

Isn't this because the businessman is treacherous and puts profit first?

For the country and the people, striving to be a patriotic businessman, no matter how you hear it, you feel awkward.

At this time, Feng Quji immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, as long as businessmen see big profits, they will naturally fight for it. But I heard that the bidding price for this project was set by the National Development and Reform Commission very high. With such huge profits in it, businessmen will definitely compete to earn money and food from the national treasury.”

"Oh? Is the price high?" Ying Zheng was taken aback and asked curiously.

Feng Quji held a bidding document in his hand, and said: "In this bidding document, there are bidding prices for various projects this time. For example, the Qinling Mausoleum was almost completed. Based on 30 people, it is estimated that The completion can be guaranteed in half a year. Calculated in this way, 90 gold, labor costs are enough, plus wood and masonry, a total of one million gold is enough. However, the bidding price for Qinling by the Development and Reform Department this time is as high as 200 million gold , fully double the normal cost.”

Speaking of this, Feng Quji was heartbroken, and choked up and said: "Your Majesty, this...they's Development and Reform Department wants to give all of our Great Qin State treasury to these profiteering profiteers."

At this time, Feng Quji and his party all remonstrated in unison: "Your Majesty, with such a bidding, the national treasury will be emptied. At that time, it must be the fruit of a country's poor, businessmen and rich people. Great Qin will suffer!"

Yes, in later generations, this kind of behavior is called wasting state-owned assets.Even give you a big crime of colluding with businessmen.

Sure enough, after seeing the emperor's face darken, a censor said: "I heard that the Ba family and the Prime Minister have too much contact, and even Ba Mi, the second head of the Ba family, has a marriage contract with the Prime Minister. There is a suspicion of collusion between officials and businessmen, colluding with the treasury for money and food, I hope His Majesty will clearly investigate!"

A group of officials from Yushitai, and Feng Quji's party, petitioned one after another: "I hope Your Majesty will order the Tingwei Department to conduct a thorough investigation!"

Suddenly, the rest of the officials were in an uproar.

As soon as Li You heard this, he couldn't be angry at the moment. This is not only to participate in Li Yang, but also to participate in his father Li Si, so he came out and pointed at these ministers and angrily said: "The Prime Minister of China has devoted all his heart and soul to the chaos. Thinking about it, I came up with such a plan that has the best of both worlds, and all the ministers and ministers are so unjust and slandering the prime minister, it is really the heart of Han Zhongxian's ministers!"

He Zhang also hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of China is utterly loyal and will never collude with officials and businessmen to commit corruption and pervert the law. I hope Your Majesty will not believe it."

To tell the truth, Li Yang is also very upset. Yushitai is his subordinate. He is in charge of the law and politics. Now it is a good thing. All his subordinates are involved in the collusion between officials and businessmen. This fact may be rare since ancient times. Appeared.

Of course, this also made Li Yang more aware that he is in charge of the law and politics. He is actually a bare-bones prime minister. Listen to Meng Yi and Feng Jie.

Ying Zheng was also a little shocked. This situation also took him by surprise.

He was in charge of law and politics, but the people who were in law and politics wanted to join the prime minister instead. This prime minister was quite a failure, right?

However, Yingzheng is indeed a little angry. You actually spend 100 million gold for something that can be done with 200 million gold. It means that you are not greedy for the money in it, but this level of generosity is equivalent to giving the treasury to businessmen. .

Ying Zheng still couldn't stand this.

At that moment, Ying Zheng asked with a sullen face: "Li Yang, is the price that Feng Xiang said true?"

..............................

PS: Many people have asked if there is a group, and a group has just been created: 970771619, everyone is welcome to join the group.

Chapter 99 Bold Li Yang

"Li Yang, the price that Xiang Xiang said is true?"

As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, everyone slammed and looked at Li Yang.

This matter is very serious. Just a Qin Mausoleum that is about to be completed costs 100 million gold more than the normal cost. After counting Afang and the Great Wall, the extra money is completely unimaginable.

And, more importantly, the entire territory of Daqin is full of disaster victims, so what's the labor cost of hiring disaster victims?A full meal is enough!

In this way, the extra profit is not just doubled.

If a businessman took over Qin Ling, he would be able to make a profit of more than 100 million gold.

What is the concept of 100 million gold?

A top chef in Tianxiaju earns three gold coins a month.Calculated according to the salary of later generations, it must be tens of thousands of yuan.

Of course, in Qin Dynasty, gold came before the quantity, referring to gold, and the quantity came before gold, referring to how many catties of copper.

For example, one hundred gold is 100 taels of gold, and if it is one hundred gold, it is one hundred catties of copper.

To convert it again, Qin Shi did not have the concept of Wen. At that time, the value of money was calculated by weight. At that time, the currency in circulation was half a tael, which weighed twelve baht. 24 baht is one tael, and 16 taels is a catty.Because of low productivity, Yizhu's purchasing power should be about the same as ten yuan in later generations.

In other words, one gold is one catty of copper, which is equal to 384 yuan, and its purchasing power is equivalent to 3840 yuan in later generations.

One million gold, that is, one million catties of copper, is the purchasing power of 100 million yuan.

According to Feng Quji, 30 people can complete the Qinling project in half a year, and the labor cost is only 90 gold, which is equal to the three golds of each labor force's half-year salary, and the monthly salary is equal to the purchasing power of 1900 yuan in later generations. Coolies, this salary is really poor for future generations.And it's normal for a top cook to pay three times as much as a coolie.
