After having breakfast in Yuxuan Pavilion.

Brother Zheng left coolly carrying half a box of Coke.

After the rain stopped, two pieces of news came out, causing a sensation throughout Xianyang City.

The first one is that His Royal Highness is finally recruiting followers.

Many people who thought they were knowledgeable people suddenly became excited.

The second piece of news is that the Royal Academy is about to be completed and enrollment will begin in seven days.

Anyone between the ages of 6 and 18 can sign up.

As soon as the news came out, the people near Xianyang City suddenly became excited.

After this period of publicity, the people are no strangers to the Royal Academy.

Everyone knows that this is the place where future officials are trained.

In other words, as long as you enter the Royal Academy, becoming an official of the Qin Dynasty will be easy.

For ordinary people, this is simply an opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

Therefore, in the past few days, people from surrounding counties and counties have flocked to Xianyang City.

There were even people starting to line up at the entrance of the Royal Academy.

The purpose is to be able to be one step ahead.

Qilin Hall, above the court meeting!

As soon as Brother Zheng appeared, he posed a difficult problem.

"Now our Great Qin treasury is empty and we have been unable to make ends meet. Do you have any good ideas to solve this problem?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the officials suddenly became ugly.

The empty treasury of Da Qin has become a commonplace problem.

If it could be solved, it would have been dealt with long ago, so why has it been delayed until now?

The main reason why this situation occurs is because there have been too many natural disasters in Great Qin in recent years.

Continuous disaster relief and various projects consume huge amounts of money.

If it weren't for Ying Yu bringing back a lot of cattle, sheep and money from the grassland some time ago, officials like them would probably have stopped paying their salaries now.

Just when the officials were looking sad, Xianyang ordered Xiao He to stand up.

"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation of our Daqin, the only way to increase the treasury's revenue is to focus on business!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials immediately looked at Xiao He.

Even Ying Yu felt surprised.

Lao Xiao can do that.

In today's Qin Dynasty, the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce has reached a very serious level.

Although the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business can protect agriculture and consolidate rule.

However, it destroyed Da Qin's own economic development.

More importantly, doing so is not conducive to industrial production and seriously hinders Da Qin's progress.

However, the officials did not think so. As soon as Xiao He finished speaking, Feng Quji stood up directly.

"Your Majesty, you must never reuse merchants!"

"Your Majesty, since King Shang proposed to focus on agriculture and suppress business, our country, Qin, has become stronger and stronger, and this is how we now have the unification of the world."

"Businessmen can make profits easily. If we don't stop people from going into business, who will cultivate the fields?"

"What Xiang Feng said is right. Although re-employing merchants can increase the treasury's income, the hidden dangers it brings are too great."

"The merchants and merchants are all speculators and people who forget their loyalty when they see profit. How can we, the Qin Dynasty, rely on them?"

Feng Quji took the lead, and all the officials spoke out one after another.

If it weren't for Ying Yu's face, he might have already started to impeach Lao Xiao.

Seeing that several important ministers were all opposed, Zheng Ge also nodded slightly.

Apparently he also believed that it was not advisable to reuse merchants.

Upon seeing this, Ying Yu chuckled and then stood up slowly.

"Why is His Royal Highness laughing?"

"It's nothing, I just think you adults are a little ignorant."

What?

Are we ignorant?

Ying Yu used a map cannon, which made all the officials look at each other angrily.

Even Brother Zheng's face turned ugly.

"The emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce is the foundation of the rise of our great Qin. His Highness the Crown Prince said that we are ignorant, but I would like to hear your opinions."

Feng Quji glared angrily.

Although Ying Yu is the prince now.

But Feng Quji is still the prime minister after all, so he should be stronger when he should be stronger.

Besides, His Majesty the First Emperor just nodded.

Obviously His Majesty does not approve of reemploying merchants.

"Everyone, the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce is indeed the foundation for the rise of our Great Qin, but it is no longer what it used to be."

“In the past, the Qin State was weak, with a small population and barren land. There were powerful enemies on all sides, and if you were not careful, you would be in danger of losing your country.

At this time, focusing on agriculture and suppressing business is the best policy and a wise move.

Because at this time, there are only two things that Da Qin needs, and that is soldiers and food and grass."

"But what about now?"

"Now that the Qin Dynasty has unified the Central Plains, what we need now are soldiers and food and grass?"

After the words fell, the officials nodded one after another, and then fell into deep thought.

Brother Zheng on the high platform even looked at him with approval.

Ying Yu paused slightly, then continued:

"Compared to today's Great Qin a hundred years ago, it needs far too many things."

"We need talents, we need to develop agriculture, we need to develop the military, we need to develop education, we need to develop medical care... we also need to develop the economy!"

"Under such circumstances, the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business has long been outdated."

"My lords, times have changed. We cannot rest on our laurels and must take a longer-term view."

"Everyone, I have a question for you. What kind of life do you think a common person wants most?"

After Ying Yu finished speaking, Meng Yi spoke directly:

"It's simple. What the people want is nothing more than food and clothing. On this basis, if they can have their own yard, marry a wife, and have a little money to spare, they will be satisfied."

Ying Yu nodded:

"Meng Shangqing is right. I would like to ask your lords, do you need money to build a house and marry a wife?"

"This, of course, requires money!"

Ying Yu nodded with a smile, and then continued to ask:

"Then where does this money come from?"

"Of course it depends on selling food!" The officials looked at Ying Yu in confusion.

"Yes, if you sell grain, someone must come to buy it. So what is the difference between this and the way of a merchant?"

"this..."

All the officials were immediately confused by Ying Yu.

Brother Zheng felt even more dizzy. He glared at Ying Yu and said angrily:

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

When Ying Yu heard this, he was also quite helpless.

He wanted to speak directly, but I'm going to give you a lecture on economics, will you understand?

After thinking for a while, Ying Yu had a flash of inspiration and said:

"Father, I will demonstrate it to you and you will understand."

Ying Yu said and came to Gongzi Gao:

"Has the second brother brought any money?"

Hearing this, Young Master Gao quickly shook his head.

"It's easy to deal with money. Lend me your belt."

"What?"

Young Master Gao was stunned. Why do you need to use my belt again?

Seeing Ying Yu's unkind gaze, Young Master Gao had no choice but to blush, take off his belt and hand it to Ying Yu.
