What kind of bad thoughts can the queen have?

Shi Ran took a piece of unwritten paper, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and said while writing: "Check out those business houses in Bashu, especially those of the descendants of the widows. If you want benefits, we will give them benefits, family carnival, they should like it."

Shi Zhong cupped his hands and said, "No."

Shi Ran put down the brush, picked up the paper, blew on the ink on it, and handed it to Liu Shanqing.

As the saying goes, writing is like a person, which refers to the state of mind of the writer.

Shi Ran's original writing style was casual and lazy, and he deliberately imitated Wen Zhengming's style of writing, resulting in some deliberate lines between lines.

Having been the King of Qin in Dasui for more than half a year, he has experienced life and death, experienced that a single word can start a war, and a single word can determine life and death. Shi Ran's mood has undergone a great change.

Shi Ran's writing style, under the influence of such moods, has lost all the casualness, laziness and deliberation in the past, and some are majestic and flamboyant.

Today, Shi Ran's handwriting has no shadow of Wen Zhengming at all, it is his own style.

Liu Shanqing is very familiar with characters like Shi Ran, because Shi Ran's handwriting used to be like this.

Closer to home, Liu Shanqing read what Shi Ran had written, and handed it to Yu'er without saying a word.

Yu'er took it with both hands, walked in front of Shi Zhong, and passed both hands to Shi Zhong.

As soon as Shi Zhong took it, he heard Shi Ran say, "Pass it to uncle for me."

"promise."

By sweeping up the paper, Shi Zhong roughly scanned the content on the inside and heaved a sigh of relief.Fortunately, this time it is still beating and warning.

At this time, Shi Zhong heard Shi Ran say again: "If you have time, talk to your uncle more, and remind him that he is now the Minister of Commerce, not a businessman."

"promise."

"It's okay, go ahead."

"My minister retire."

Just as Shi Zhong left, Liu Shanqing asked, "What are you going to do?"

Shi Ran said with a smile: "Since they are shameless with their faces, they should trample their faces under their feet and spit on them along the way."

……

……

Five days later, the reception room of the Ministry of Commerce.

The faces of the actual controllers of the major commercial firms were not good-looking, and their brows were full of sorrow.

They have been here for an hour.

Unlike the last time they came here, Minister of Commerce Shi He warmly received them, this time not to mention Shi He, even the other subordinates of the Ministry of Commerce did not come out to receive them.

In addition, there was no chair in the reception room. After they came, they could only stand.They wanted to leave, but there were soldiers guarding the door. As soon as they reached the door, a sharp sword stopped them.

They were all panicked and worried that the Ministry of Commerce would call them here this time to catch them all.

Especially thinking of the Bashu merchants who were all arrested two days ago, each one felt even more panicked and uneasy.

A certain merchant from Kuaiji County reassured everyone: "You are worrying too much. If the imperial court really wanted to deal with us, why did it need to call them here? This time we are called here, and we are definitely required to build the city and the road in Hexi."

"In the past few days, I have ordered people to calculate that there are only advantages and no disadvantages in building a city. Your Majesty and the King of Qin rewarded us with such a great opportunity to make money, but we misunderstood your Majesty and the King of Qin's kindness before. We really shouldn't. "

"That's why I decided that Kuaiji Commercial Bank will undertake the construction of a city."

The main controller of the Kuaiji firm with beards raised his voice on purpose. Obviously, these words were not only heard by the colleagues present.

The colleagues present are all good people, so they don't understand what this Kuaiji person means.What's more, when they came this time, they planned to agree to Shi He's construction of the city and the road, and immediately they all deliberately raised their voices, saying that they were willing to undertake the construction and the road.

Some really do not have the strength to undertake the construction of a city or a section of a road alone, and they have discussed with some people in advance to build a city or a section of a road in partnership.

Only a middle-aged man with a burly and strong body and a beard as thick as weeds suddenly shouted: "If you want to build it, you will build it. If you don't build it, you have no money."

With that said, the middle-aged man walked out.The two soldiers at the door immediately stopped him.

"Go away!"

A middle-aged man overthrew a soldier.

This move immediately frightened the merchants in the guest room.They all knew the man was done.

Sure enough, another soldier immediately drew out the sword at his waist, cut off the right hand swung by the middle-aged man with a sword expressionlessly, and then stabbed the middle-aged man's stomach with his sword.

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and there seemed to be regret flashing in his pupils.

The death of the man obviously had a great impact on the merchants.They looked at the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground, and then at the soldier who continued to stand at the door as if nothing had happened, their faces were very ugly and pale.

Some merchants who had thought to wait for the man to go out, and immediately followed him out, immediately dismissed this idea, and hurriedly increased the investment funds for the construction of the city and the road.

Some people showed sarcasm on their faces, wondering why there are people who can't recognize the form of people who can be called here.

After two good years, I forgot who I was.

Merchants, follow the lowliest people, if it is not for the King of Qin, how can they have the glory of these two years?

These people have been scolding themselves for being dizzy in their hearts these two days. It is obvious that the King of Qin wants them to go to Hexi to build cities and roads, and give them opportunities to make money. As a result, they all want to ask for more benefits. .

Now it's all right, if you make the king of Qin angry, you will be finished.

They now hope that King Qin's anger will be less. If King Qin restores the old restrictions on them in a fit of anger, beats them back to their original shape, or worse, it will really be over.

……

……

Office of the Minister.

Shi He was dressed in court clothes, sitting behind a desk, handling government affairs.

Since Shi Ran and Liu Shanqing adopted the government hierarchy system, most of the government affairs related to merchants fell on Shi He's head. Shi He basically stayed in the office every day, dealing with government affairs non-stop.

Before this incident happened, Shi He dealt with the affairs of merchants in the world, thinking more from the perspective of merchants, and implemented one policy after another that was beneficial to merchants.

After this incident, after reading the letter that Shi Ran asked Shi Zhong to forward to Shi He, Shi He just woke up like a dream, and anxiously dug out all the documents that had not yet been released, and worked overtime to change what he had made before. some decisions.

Dong dong dong~ There was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Enter."

The young officer pushed open the door and walked in.

Shi He continued to change some decisions without looking up.

The subordinate officials saluted and reported the situation in the reception room.

Shi He sneered when he heard that the actual controllers of the major commercial firms said that they would build cities and roads, what a bunch of scumbags.

He talked and said, one by one, the lion asked for benefits, and they had to wait for King Qin to put a knife on their necks before they knew who they had offended.

What King Qin said was true, when dealing with this group of scumbags, one shouldn't give them good looks.

He also heard that the merchants from Yue County were forced to leave, bumped into the soldiers, and after being killed by the soldiers, Shi He paused. He was a little surprised that there were people who were not afraid of death. The merchants in other counties are big.

After listening to the officer's report, Shi He looked up at the officer and said, "In another hour, you will tell them your majesty's edict."

"promise."

……

……

An hour later, the subordinate officer looked indifferent, glanced around at the merchants, and said indifferently: "If you didn't hear clearly, you can see for yourself."

After finishing speaking, the subordinate officials respectfully placed the imperial edict on the square table of the lord, and walked into the inner door.

A group of merchants with faces like dead mothers rushed over immediately, vying for the edict on the table.

The decree's actions were as straightforward and brief as ever.The above content made the faces of the merchants even more ugly, and they kept shouting.

The good days are gone, and they have to live without revealing their wealth, riding horses or making carriages when traveling, wearing coarse clothes instead of fancy clothes, having no more than two servants in the family, and no more than four rooms in the house. It is not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat except on the day of the Chinese New Year.The miserable life of children who can only read arithmetic.

And once violated, they will face a more serious punishment than before, ranging from bankruptcy to bankruptcy, to the death of the whole family.

What's worse, under King Qin's rule, they don't want to bribe local officials to turn a blind eye to their transgressions as before.

All of a sudden, the reception room was filled with the wailing of merchants.

They beat their feet and chests one by one, and grabbed the ground with their heads.

The sound of heavy footsteps suddenly sounded, and the majestic soldiers rushed in and surrounded them.

The faces of the merchants changed drastically. Except for a few people who didn't understand what was going on and thought they were about to be slaughtered, most of them guessed that this was to punish them for wearing gorgeous clothes.

Sure enough, when the subordinate officials who announced the edict came in, they said that they violated the imperial court's ban on merchants and wore gorgeous clothes, and asked the soldiers to arrest them.

For a moment, the spacious yard was filled with the shrill screams of merchants.

When their people came to Tingwei Prison with top three money and took them back, the officials of the Ministry of Commerce informed them that they would go to the Ministry of Commerce tomorrow to discuss the construction of Hexi City and Chidao.

Where did the merchants dare to refuse, they hurriedly expressed to the officials who came to announce the order that they would fully cooperate.

In the morning of the next day, when these merchants dragged their wounded bodies and came to the Ministry of Commerce with difficulty, the merchants who belonged to Ranshan and the Green Brigade were all dressed up, which made them all stunned, and secretly lamented the injustice of King Qin.

It used to be that the merchants of Ranshan and Qinglv still wore gorgeous costumes and traveled in luxurious and extravagant carriages.

They thought that King Qin deliberately gave Ranshan and Qinglv the privileges. Who would have thought that the merchants of Ranshan and Qinglv took the initiative to reveal to them that they were able to wear gorgeous clothes and ride luxurious and extravagant carriages because they undertook the construction of Hexi. City, gallop.

In addition, they also got the quota to manage the Western Regions. After that, all their commercial activities in the Western Regions will be protected by Da Sui.If the barbarians of the Western Regions dared to bully them, Da Sui would send troops for them to clean up the barbarians of the Western Regions.

As soon as these words came out, how could these merchants not understand that King Qin asked them to tell them these words.

Then, merchants from Ranshan and Youth Hostel told them another gossip that the number of places that can be built this time is limited, and only those with high investment can get it.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became subtle, and the merchants who were in the same sympathy suddenly began to be hostile to each other.

After a while, Shi He walked in wearing court clothes with a smile on his face.

Shi He's attitude seemed to be the same as before, but anyone with a discerning eye could feel that Shi He's attitude towards them had changed subtly, and this change became more and more obvious in the subsequent conversations.

They couldn't tell exactly how it was. They could only say that Shi He was more like the Minister of Commerce.

Shi He looked at these merchants who were dressed in rough linen and linen clothes, who were in front of him a few days ago, and now they were vying for the construction of the Hexi city and the road, and once again sighed in his heart, what a bunch of unscrupulous bastards.

……

……

Shi Ran looked at the construction report submitted by Shi He with satisfaction, and said to Liu Shanqing: "It's good if this incident happens, and when the city and Chidao in Hexi are built, I can give them a little less."

Yes, although Shi Ran restored the ban on merchants, he did not do too much. It is still the same as before. As long as they are willing to build cities and roads, after the cities and roads are built, merchants can use the roads and take them with them. Some of the cost of goods entering the city can be distributed to them so that they can pay back the cost.

However, the proportion of share was lowered from [-]% to [-]%.

Shi Ran ordered someone to calculate that this fee can bring Da Sui an annual income of 3000 million yuan.

Although it seems not much, but with the increase of cities in Hexi, the increase of roads, the in-depth management of the Western Regions, and the arrival of merchants from the Western Regions, this revenue will only increase.

To be more specific, I also got the business situation at that time.

After listening to Shi Ran's forecast, Liu Shanqing was also a little happy.

At present, the growth rate of Dasui's annual income has slowed down, and the structure of annual income has been fixed. It is naturally a good thing to have more sources of annual income in the future.

With money, she can invest more in people's livelihood, so that the people in Dasui can live a good life.

Although Liu Shanqing knows that in her lifetime, it is impossible to build Dasui into a modern one, but this does not prevent Liu Shanqing from taking the modern people's livelihood as her goal and striving to get closer to modern times.

Liu Shanqing said: "If the king of Qin has no objection to the candidates to be sent to Hexi, then he will make a decision like this."

"Okay, let's do it like this."

Liu Shanqing immediately asked Yu'er to give the order down.

Although the city in Hexi County has not yet been built, officials still have to be sent there to preside over the work.Especially for Monan, who is currently in charge of the former border guard.

This person is not incompetent, but he has limited ability and lack of experience. It is really embarrassing for him to manage the huge Monan.

Therefore, Liu Shanqing appointed him this time as the county captain of Hexi County, responsible for the military affairs of Hexi County.

Chen Xi was the general of Zhenxi, in charge of military affairs, frontier defense in Hexi and Monan, and clearing out the remnants of the Huns.

Lefu was the prefect of Hexi County, responsible for the construction of the city in Hexi County and arranging the relocation of people in the future.

For the rest of the officials, Liu Shanqing allowed Chen Xi, Le Fu and others to recommend them on their own.

In fact, according to common sense, officials of all sizes in a county, from the sheriff to the head of the pavilion, are appointed and appointed by the imperial court.The purpose is to prevent officials from forming cliques and bring hidden dangers to the court's notice to the local area.

But the situation in Hexi County is different. Liu Shanqing allowed Chen Xi, Le Fu and the others to recommend them on their own, in order to let them digest Hexi as soon as possible and make Hexi a part of the Great Sui.

Chen Xi and Le Fu are also worthy of the trust of Liu Shanqing and Shi Ran.

Even if they really have other intentions, Liu Shanqing and Shi Ran are not afraid.

The Black Ice Terrace is not for dry food.

Besides that, there is another reason.
