Chapter 686 Abundance

"Your Majesty." Li Si said carefully, "It's okay for the countries in Kanto to say that they can't cause any big waves. But should you wait and say what Daqin said?"

The six Kanto countries were all destroyed, and the nobles' salt and iron business were taken away, which was a matter of course.

But if the business of the Qin nobles took action directly, it would inevitably cause turmoil.

Even Li Si heard the news that some Qin nobles had already left Hangu Pass and began to find ways to take over business in various parts of Guandong.

"When will it be?" Wang Xiao squinted his eyes and looked at him. "When I die, I can never control them anymore?"

"I dare not." Li Si had no choice but to apologize.

"Now is the time when I am the most prestige, the most powerful, and the most powerful military power."

Wang Xiao reached out and picked up the wine pot and gave himself a bowl of wolfberry to make wine. "If you don't move them at this time, it will only be more troublesome to move them again in the future. There is no need to talk so much nonsense, just tell those people clearly whether they want money or death."

Guan Zhong once calculated a calculation for Duke Huan of Qi, "A big country with tens of thousands of soldiers, the taxable people of the total population of 10 million is about one million. Each person is levied 30 yuan per month, which is only 30 million yuan a month."

'But as long as you increase the price by two cents per liter of salt, because salt sales strictly implement "counter-to-count salt sales" according to household registration, you can get 60 million yuan per month, far exceeding the income brought by the high poll tax of 30 cents per month.'

"No one can think of the wealth that is sold by salt and iron." Wang Xiao dared to reduce taxes. In addition to no longer using large-scale troops, the most important reason is that he wants to unify the salt and iron specialty and rely on this aspect to drive domestic economic development. "Whoever dares not listen, then he will die for the money."

Judging from Wang Xiao's prestige and military power at this time, there were only a few Qin nobles who dared to oppose him on the surface.

"His Majesty."

Li Si thought about it and felt that Wang Xiao was right. It was indeed the best time to take back the salt and iron franchise at this time. Then he asked another important question.

"The land tax is so low, what if I can't receive food?"

In this era, the distribution of salary and other things is actually mainly based on food. After all, in this era of low grain output, it is the right thing for people to regard food as the most.

Even if the salt and iron specialty has brought a lot of money, it cannot be used as a food.

“Food sale.”

Wang Xiao did not hesitate to put forward his plan, “Every year during autumn harvest, set a protective purchase price. Buy grain from the people in the name of the court. The price should not be lower than the market price, and it is even more necessary to force buy and sell."

The more important reason for doing this is to promote exchanges and circulation of goods and allow the economy to cycle quickly.

In this era, the biggest commodity was food.

The government earns money through economics such as salt and iron, and then buys grain from farmers, and then lives with money.

This is how the economy develops gradually.

"Your Majesty is well arranged, I admire you." Li Si thought about it for a while and felt that it was no problem.

Judging from the current execution of the Qin Dynasty, it is really possible to do whatever it says. It is completely different from the era when the country gentry and officials colluded with each other and the imperial power did not go to the countryside, resulting in the family controlling the countryside.

Wang Xiao stayed in Qi until the autumn harvest ended, comforted the local Guizhou leader and left enough troops to guard the country, and then led tens of thousands of cavalry south to the prosperous land.

On the way to Pei County, Wang Xiao looked at the map and learned that Shanfu County was nearby, so he turned around and passed by.

Wang Xiao did not go to the county town, but was in Lugu Village 30 miles east of the city.

He lived in the home of Lu Gong, a wealthy family in the village, which is also the largest one in the village.

What Mr. Lu himself said was that he was a descendant of Lu Shang, that is, Jiang Ziya. As for whether it was true or not, Wang Xiao was too lazy to verify the authenticity.

He just met Mr. Lu's second daughter and gave her a jade hairpin.

Wang Xiao only stayed here for one day. When he set off the next day, he told Mr. Lu that his family could move to Xianyang City to live.

When the brigade of cavalry left rumblingly, Lu Gong turned around and said to his family, "Pack up the things and sell all the fields. Let's move our whole family to Xianyang City."

Everyone in the family was very happy, thinking that the emperor valued the identity and talents of the descendants of Lu Gong and Jiang Ziya. This time he went to Xianyang City and would be developed.

Only Mr. Lu looked at the jade hairpin in his second daughter's hand and understood in his heart that the prosperity of the Lu family will depend on this daughter in the future.

Among the vast cavalry team, Li Si asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, if you like that little lady of the Lu family, why not take it away directly?"

Wang Xiao rolled his eyes at him "age issues."

This topic is skipped and cannot be discussed in depth.

Lu Zhi was born in the sixth year of King Zheng of Qin, and she will grow up in a few years.

Fengxian and Peixian are just one side, and are often called Fengyi, Peixian. Or it can be said that these two places are together.

Wang Xiao came here, of course, for Fengpei Group.

The so-called Fengpei Group refers to the founding group of the Western Han Dynasty headed by Liu Bang and members including Xiao He, Lu Wan, Fan Kuai, Cao Shen, Xiahou Ying, Zhou Bo and others.

These people are all rich, and most of them can do things now.

Like Liu Bang, he was originally in history because he admired Xinlingjun and was hang out in the Wei State. After Xinlingjun died, he joined Zhang Er as a disciple.

Now, because of Wang Xiao, Qin State is much stronger than in history.

After Qin destroyed Wei early and Zhang Er disappeared, Liu Bang returned to his hometown.

Liu Bang was born in Fengyi, Pei County, and worked in Pei County when he grew up.

Speaking of which, you may not believe it. Liu Bang and Lu Wan were born on the same day of the same year, the same month, and they were only three years younger than Zulong.

There is also Xiao He, who is also from Fengyi, Pei County, who is two years younger than Zulong.

It seems that people from both eras are actually about the same age.

Wang Xiao entered Pei County, and the brigade of cavalry blocked traffic everywhere, which frightened the local people.

All kinds of news spread in the countryside, from the emperor's attempt to kill the most prosperous people, there are immortals living in seclusion here, and the emperor comes to seek immortality and all kinds of rumors.

Liu Bang, who is less than 30 years old this year, is having a meal at his good brother Lu Wan's house.

"Everyone in Gao Village is rumoring that the emperor came for the great immortal in their village."

Listening to Lu Wan's nonsense, Liu Bang laughed while drinking a bad wine, "That tall fairy is at least fifty years old. What's the emperor going to come to her?"

"You." Lu Wan laughed, "That's the emperor. I have never seen any kind of beauty. They are here to seek immortality."

"I don't even want to live forever. This emperor is really enviable."

Facing the emperor who had already unified the world, the people in the prosperous land could not think of what Wang Xiao came here for.

This place is not considered prosperous, but wealth is just average. There are neither famous people nor thieves hiding here.

Apart from seeking immortality and immortality, the locals really can't think of other possibilities.

"I'll tell you." Liu Bang, who was sitting in Lu Wan's yard, looked around in a fake manner, then leaned over and said carefully, "I heard that the prince of Chu was hidden here. The emperor came over and captured the prince."

The young masters of the Warring States Period were all real young masters.

The one that is symmetrical to the prince is not the lady, but the princess. Only when they are the children of princes have the qualifications to be called princesses.

The title of later generations was rampant, and in the era of film and television dramas, it became even more muddy. Anyone could step on it a few steps. It seemed that if you didn’t call a young master, you would not be a qualified film and television drama.

Lu Wan poured the wine and said angrily, "Are you stupid? What is the emperor's identity? He drinks every meal. What kind of prince of Chu can let the emperor chase him in person."

"I've been to Daliang City."

Liu Bang shouted dissatisfiedly, "The King of Wei did not drink every meal, at most he ate meat every meal."

"That's the emperor, the emperor is bigger than the King of Wei. He must have drunk fine wine every meal!"

The two of them had a quarrel over eating meat and drinking.

In the end, Lu Wan, who lost the quarrel, raised her hand and patted the stone table in front of her, "The Emperor is here to catch you!"

Liu Bang sneered, "Which onion am I worth ten cents per pound? The emperor was full and he specially brought the army to capture me? Who do you think I am?"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a "click" sound. The door bolt of the gate of Lu Wan's yard was directly broken.

A large number of Qin troops in armor and black flocked in, and many crossbowmen appeared on the adobe walls around.

Liu Bang and Lu Wan were both shocked and looked at the Qin army surrounding them foolishly, completely at a loss.

Meng Yi, who had a beard, walked over with his sword.

"Who is Liu Bang?"

Liu Bang hurriedly saluted, "It's the grass-roots."

Meng Yi nodded and waved his hand and said, "Take it away."

Several Qin troops stepped forward and tied up Liu Bang directly.

Liu Bang did not dare to fight back. So many Qin troops and the sharp blades in their hands made him say that he was really calm at this time.

As for Lu Wan, she had been scared to death for a long time.

He didn't expect that the emperor came to capture Liu Bang. It seems that Old Lady Liu is not simple.

Liu Bang was taken away here, but Meng Yi looked at Lu Wan on the other side, "Who are you?"

"Caomin Lu Wan, pay a visit to the general. Caomin is not familiar with that guy at all, and Caomin doesn't know him at all!"

Lu Wan actively distanced himself from the relationship and dared not admit that he and Liu Bang were good brothers.

There was no way, he didn't know what big thing Liu Bang did, and actually asked the emperor to arrest him in person.

If you don’t clear your relationship at this time, can you wait until you are involved in the law of ceremonies before crying?

"Lu Wan?" Meng Yi laughed "What a coincidence, I was thinking about where to find you, but I didn't expect you to come out by yourself."

"Come, take it away."

He was tied into a pig's trotter and threw it onto the carriage, and his brother stared at him with big eyes.

They are very confused now, why did the emperor arrest himself?

It was just a few words of scolding when I was drunk. I had to arrest this little thing in person? How boring the emperor would be.

With uneasy thoughts, the two were sent to Wang Xiao.

The emperor they met was not wearing a dragon robe and a crown. Instead, they wore heavy iron armor, holding a roast lamb leg in one hand and a jar of wine and eating a sauna in the other.

There was also a young man next to the emperor, who knew Liu Bang and the others. He was Xiao He, who was famous in Peixian.
