Chapter 403
"It is true that the way of commerce, the power of merchants, should be firmly controlled in the imperial court, and it should not be allowed to be left unchecked. "
After listening to Fusu's introduction, Yingzheng also nodded thoughtfully.
"In fact, the power of businessmen is not as terrible as imagined, after all, now that the wisdom of the people of Great Qin has been opened, it is still ordinary people who really occupy the main body, we only need to guide the interests of the vast majority of the people and always guide them to be consistent with the imperial court. "
"Today, the largest proportion of the people is still farmers, and thanks to many agricultural subsidies and visible upward channels, today's farmers are extremely supportive of the royal family. "
"The workers who have been transformed from farmers, are growing rapidly, and will become the mainstream in the future are also benefiting from the imperial court and are very grateful to the royal family. "
"This large-scale development and construction of the railway is an excellent opportunity for the development of craftsmen. "
"At present, many projects and workshops in Daqin have trained more than two million craftsmen with primary skills through skill training and on-the-job training, which is close to 10% of the total population of Daqin. "
"These people can rely on their professional skills to earn much more than farming, so they have begun to completely leave the farm work and become artisans. "
And their children, influenced by them, will inevitably be more active in learning science and engineering science and technology knowledge and embark on the road of work. "
"However, this bit of craftsmanship is still far from enough for the current Great Qin. "
"If you want to build a 10,000-mile railway, you need to add at least one million more workers with a certain construction foundation, plus hundreds of thousands of engineering exploration and design personnel, as well as R&D and equipment operation personnel in supporting industries. "
"The steam engine is not only difficult to manufacture, but maintenance is also a subject to science, and even the operation requires a considerable foundation. "
"And no matter how advanced the machinery is, with the promotion of time, it will gradually fall behind, so it is also necessary for people to continuously improve and upgrade according to the problems encountered in actual use. "
"For the imperial court, commerce is a pool that provides funds, and the great development of industry is the koi fish that my Great Qin hopes to raise in this pool. "
"The growth of industrial koi, in turn, will increase the attractiveness of the pool, give birth to more funds, form a virtuous circle, and ultimately promote the development of Daqin. "
"As long as you firmly control the general trend, even if you are a big businessman, you are just a lucky person who takes advantage of the situation, and if you really want to deviate from the interests of Great Qin, you will naturally have Qin Law to clean it up, and the people will support it. "
Fusu smiled faintly.
"Or Fusu, you look further, this strategy is indeed the best plan. "
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
The world used to think that Ying Zheng didn't like business, but in fact, Ying Zheng just didn't like to break away from the power controlled by the imperial court.
Because the previous businessmen had actually done many bad deeds that were contrary to the interests of Great Qin.
However, the commercial development promoted by Fusu later made Yingzheng see the necessity of business.
It's just that as the first emperor of the Great Qin, Ying Zheng has always been jealous of business.
With the prestige of him and Fusu, he is naturally not afraid of businessmen turning the sky.
However, Ying Zheng could not guarantee that the later emperors of Great Qin would have enough deterrent power.
However, now that Fusu has launched a way of paying equal attention to industry and commerce, revitalizing science and technology, benefiting the people, and balancing business with the will of the people and the law, Yingzheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The courtiers were even more impressed.
Sure enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared to develop business, so he had enough understanding of business, and he saw and thought much farther than them.
"Your Highness's talent, the old minister is impressed!"
"Since there are no worries, this railway should indeed be repaired more, but it can't be repaired indiscriminately, there must always be a priority. "
And the old minister suggested that no matter whether he has the right to speak or not, the imperial court still has absolute control in this Daqin Railway Company, even if it is worth paying a little more interest. "
Nesteng pondered for a long time and bowed towards Fusu.
"Why do you have to pay interest, the imperial court invested in the Daqin Railway Company with technology, and the steam engine and railway technology are all in the hands of the Daqin Engineering Institute. "
According to the proposal of the crown prince, the first batch of shares can be issued at a price of 30,000 yuan, which is enough to start the three railway projects from Xianyang to Jiangnan, Xianyang to Liaodong and Xianyang to Persia. "
Fusu said with a smile.
"With such a high price, will the merchants be willing?" (If you read a violent novel, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Feng Zai subconsciously blurted out.
That's 30,000 dollars!
"Why not?"
"Don't forget, now the technology is only available to the imperial court, and if they want a railway, they have to accept the price of the imperial court, and they have no choice. "
"And the railway is a one-time investment, and it is a rare and good project with stable reporting for a long time. "[]
This is only in Daqin itself, outside the mainland, this price will at least double!"
Fusu said lightly.
"Outside of Great Qin itself, doesn't His Highness want to issue railway shares in regions such as Seleucus and Persia?"
Li Sileng paused and said.
"Of course, this is a railway from Xianyang City to Persia, once it is built, the capacity of the overland Silk Road will be directly doubled at least dozens of times, and countless merchants will benefit from it. "
"As for why the price has doubled, the reason is very simple, the foundation of the Western Regions is too backward, and there are many Gobi Mountains, and the construction cost is already higher. "
"And don't underestimate the heroes and powers in these areas, although they are not very good at business, but many nobles have hundreds of years of savings, gold and silver are full of treasury, and it is really a waste not to take them out to build railways for Daqin. "
Fusu said in a deep voice.
The officials glanced at each other, and then they all admired in unison.
The core purpose of the construction of the Xianyang-Persian County Railway is naturally very clear to everyone in the court.
That was to strengthen Xianyang City's control over the newly incorporated land in the Western Regions.
Especially places like Seleucus, which are merging.
However, when Fusu explained this, it became the kindness of the imperial court in order to revitalize the development of the newly incorporated area.
Moreover, he absorbed more than half of the unstable wealth in the local area, and tied these nobles who invested to the chariot of Great Qin.
This method is really clever.
Nesten and the others, the stone in their hearts, completely put down.
With His Royal Highness Fusu here, these worries of theirs are completely blind.
They just need to do their job honestly and implement the plan of Fusu in place.
Ying Zheng was even more satisfied.
With Fusu here, Daqin's eternal life has finally seen the real dawn!
