Chapter 402

Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

"Guys, where does the cost of building this railway come from, do you understand?"

Ying Zheng looked at the mountains of twists and turns on the imperial case, and glanced at the civil and military ministers present.

Ne Shi Ten and several other previous opponents glanced at each other, and their faces were embarrassed.

Previously, they had been disagreeing to the Daxing railway project on the grounds of lack of funds, but now just a few days later, they were slapped in the face by replies from various counties.

It is ironic that even local officials and businessmen could see the importance of the railroad and demanded that it be built to promote economic development, but that the courtiers could not see it.

"Now, there should be no one who continues to oppose the planning of the Daqin Railway Project, right?"

Meng Yi said with a smile.

As the descendants of Fusu, Meng Yi and others have already consulted Fusu, and they know that the driving force behind all this comes from Fusu.

The great commercial development of Daqin was built by Fusu, who has the reputation of a merchant saint among merchants, and it is really simple to build momentum.

The appeal of the private chamber of commerce and the application by the local government will undoubtedly make the train fever really spread throughout Daqin, so that the whole Daqin knows the benefits of building a railway and 10 trains.

It's more effective than any propaganda means.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Nei Shi Teng and other household officials.

After all, the most resolute and weighty opposition before basically came from the household department.

"The old man is not completely opposed to building the railway, it's just that the treasury really can't come up with so much money. "

"Now that private merchants are willing to invest, the old man naturally has no opinion!"

Nesten, who was in the limelight, jumped to his feet like a rabbit with an arrow.

"Indeed, although the railway has many advantages, but the cost is indeed a bit too high, even if there is money, but whether it is suitable for all the railway construction, is also a debatable question. "

"This is not millions, tens of millions, but astronomical wealth of tens of thousands of dollars at every turn. "

Feng Zheng also smiled awkwardly and said for himself.

"You still underestimate the wealth of my people in Daqin now. "

"Don't forget, the tax revenue of the treasury is only a small part of the wealth created by Great Qin, and the real bulk is still left among the private merchants. "

"In the case of transportation conditions that do not keep up with economic development, the flow of commerce and trade will be restricted, and a lot of funds will be idle, as can be seen from the increasing number of deposits in the Daqin royal bank. "

"At this time, we should make use of this money to build more railways and do a good job in infrastructure construction, so that the economy can continue to grow at a high speed. "

"Moreover, the cost of railway construction is actually to return the wealth to the people in the form of construction, which is also in line with the circular way of taking it from the people and using it for the people. "

Xiao He replied with a smile.

"Exactly, there is no need to mention the later commercial growth, just these tens of thousands of miles of railways can bring millions of jobs, can drive at least hundreds of thousands of families to get rich. "

"In addition, in practice, we can train a team with comprehensive construction capabilities for our Daqin, and lay a solid foundation for our Daqin to accelerate the process of integrating into the new frontier. "

"These are simply not measurable in terms of money. "

Chen Ping also followed suit.

He had studied with Fusu for a period of time, and then went to the county to experience before returning to Xianyang, so he had a deep understanding of the backwardness of transportation in the remote areas of Daqin, and was very aware of the strategic significance of the railway.

"If it only absorbs a large amount of private funds, will it lead to a high proportion of private shares and too much influence in the Daqin Railway Company?"

Nesten thought for a long time before he frowned and spoke.

The eyes of many courtiers suddenly became solemn.

Because they all share the same concerns as Nesten.

The great commercial development of Daqin certainly laid the foundation for Daqin's economic take-off, but it also completely broke the class system of the former Shinongong, industrial and commercial enterprises.

The merchants suddenly became a very important class from the bottom of society, which made many officials start to worry about whether the businessmen who aim for profit to have the right to speak will pose a sufficient threat to the future of Great Qin.

"First of all, among the Great Qin Railway Company, the imperial court must have absolute control. "

"No matter how much money the merchant injects, he only has a share of the profits, and has no right to interfere in the planning and construction of the railway. "

"Secondly, it is precisely because the merchants have too much wealth that it is safer to let these spare funds be sucked into the right channels. "

"Finally, the railway is for the people in peacetime and the army in wartime, without the railway, the Great Qin army will not be able to reach the target in the shortest possible time, forming a sufficient deterrent. "

Fusu smiled faintly.

As a traverser, he naturally understands the threat of capital.

Don't look at the current merchants of Daqin who are very peaceful, it is because they are still in the development period, and the prestige of Fusu and Yingzheng is enough to suppress restless ambitions.

But if the merchants were given hundreds of years to develop without restrictions, and then met a weaker emperor, the merchants would definitely want more.

And Fusu's response is also very simple. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

First of all, firmly grasp the military power, without military power, only money, it will not be a big tool.

And Great Qin has strict weapon restrictions.

Moreover, Fusu's control over advanced science and technology, especially 593, which involves military technology, is also extremely strict.

This limited the development space of Daqin merchants to business.

The second is to improve the commercial law of Daqin, and use strict laws to restrict improper business practices, such as monopoly, market price gouging, and people's livelihood industries controlled by the imperial court.

Continue the fine tradition of Daqin's heavy law, and promote compulsory education to open up people's wisdom.

Great Qin is an absolute centralized imperial system, as long as there is no problem with the people's will, there will be no big storm at all for just businessmen.

And the fishing wheel Fusu has always been firmly in control.

Except for the imperial court, the Great Qin did not allow the people, especially the merchants, to set up private newspapers and media.

Fusu will not forget the lessons of later generations after the media was infiltrated by capital. []

And in the end, in the name of the imperial court, in the name of infrastructure construction, the surplus funds of the merchants were used.

It not only eliminated the threat of idle funds, but also used these funds to further strengthen the infrastructure of Daqin, drive more people to get rich, and simultaneously strengthen Xianyang City's control over various states and counties.

Before the development of merchant capital, it was necessary to put enough restraints on them to make them honestly move forward according to the plan of the imperial court.

If you still dare to disagree, don't forget, the sword and the fishing boat are still in the hands of the people, all in the hands of the court.

Is it true that the imperial court can't lift the knife? .
