My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 337 Exploitation? They have to thank us!
  It is important to develop science and technology and promote the continued progress of productivity.

However, the spontaneous iteration of technology is very slow. If you want to speed up, you can only spend money!
  Unfortunately, such extravagant behavior as throwing money does not belong to Da Qin.

Every penny of food in Da Qin will either be used directly for war, or indirectly for war. Where will the spare money come from to spend on the technology tree?
  So when Ying Chengyu chose nutrients for Daqin's technology tree, he didn't consider the national treasury at all. He just wanted to spend other people's money to do Daqin's affairs!
  Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "If you have money, leisure and time, you are greedy for life and afraid of death and seek a high position."

Ying Zheng's words unconsciously contained a hint of disdain: "You're talking about merchants?"

Ying Chengyu nodded, but then shook his head: "When eldest brother gives the order, the merchants will definitely respond in groups."

"Businessmen will also be the main providers of a lot of basic technology."

"As long as the rewards from our country, Great Qin, are heavy enough, these merchants will even try their best to steal other countries' technology to Great Qin!"

"However, merchants can use it, but they cannot reuse it."

"Merchants are unfaithful, unscrupulous and bold. If merchants can master the top technology of our Great Qin, they don't need other countries to offer heavier rewards than our Great Qin. As long as other countries also offer rewards, they will definitely make their family members take it." Use your skills in exchange for rewards!"

For 100% profit, capital dares to trample all human laws.

For 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging.

But what countries can offer is more than 300% profit?
  Countries don't even need to pay, they just need to come up with a few levels of titles.

A title means a jump in class, power and status, and the prosperity of the family. This is a more attractive consequence than profit!
  Ying Chengxuan admitted that there are many good people among merchants, especially in countries such as Han and Chu in this era. The merchant path is the only way out for many talented people who are unwilling to live in poverty, which makes the merchants a mixed bag.

But Ying Chengyu has never been afraid to speculate on the merchants as a group with the greatest malice!
  Even merchants who have accepted Confucianism and grew up in a Confucian environment can regard treason and war as business.

Not to mention the merchants in today's world.

Ying Chengyu was only worried that his assumptions about businessmen were not bad enough!

Ying Zheng nodded happily: "I have never been deceived by the appearance of merchants, nor have I appreciated all merchants because of my appreciation of Wen Xinhou. This is excellent."

"It takes thousands of merchants to produce just one Wenxinhou."

"And even Marquis Wenxin behaves like a merchant. There are so many ways of speculating, hoarding, and focusing on surplus while underestimating the general trend!"

"Businessmen can use it, but they must use it with caution and beat it often!"

Ying Chengyu agreed and said, "What the elder brother said is true."

"The law of secrecy of craftsmen's works that my disciples admonished was, to a large extent, aimed at merchants."

"If they dare to let their branches go to other countries with their technology, all the clansmen left in Da Qin will be buried with them!"

"We, Great Qin, can even use technology leakage as an excuse to directly send troops to attack other countries!"

The reason for sending troops because your country stole our country's nuclear weapons manufacturing blueprints is more valid than the reason why our country sent troops because a soldier of our country was lost in your country's territory!

Ying Cheng became more and more excited as he spoke: "Because of the law of secrecy, merchants cannot obtain the most sophisticated technology of our Great Qin."

"If they want to obtain a title, the easiest way is to steal technology from other countries and send it to Great Qin."

"When there is nothing left to steal, they can only gather the craftsmen and research further based on the technology that is known to the world."

"This will cause a lot of unnecessary expenses, but this is exactly what I want."

"Because most of their unnecessary expenses will be collected by the head of Guizhou in Da Qin, and the head of Guizhou will be richer as a result."

What are merchants doing with so much money in their hands?

Is it left to grow mold and hair in the cellar?

Take it out and hire someone! Buy resources! What a waste! What a waste!
  Only money that circulates is money. Only by letting money circulate can the leaders of Guizhou make money!

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up: "If this is the case, how much tax can our Great Qin collect?!"

"This is gentle and will not easily cause merchants to flee. It can be used even when there is no war!"

When researching science and technology, you have to use several types of wood, water, and earth, right?

Pay the Shanze tax first.

All the minerals in Da Qin belong to Ying Zheng.

Also pay the money to buy various types of ores.

Although Daqin does not yet have transaction tax, personal income tax and other taxes, other taxes are enough to satisfy merchants!
  Specific policies have not yet been formulated, but Ying Zheng has already thought of the subsequent implementation principles.

In peacetime, the title was used to induce merchants to spend a lot of money, and the court collected a lot of taxes.

During the war, liquidation began. To see which merchant was dissatisfied with his money, he would directly come to seize his family property, and then recruit his whole family to join the army!

The corners of Ying Chengqiao's lips curled up slightly: "That's it, they still have to thank us!"

Even though the strategy formulated by the two brothers is very harsh, compared to the current situation of the merchants, it is like rain!
  Never mind whether it is a cloud of sweet rain or a drop of sweet rain.

Just tell me if it’s Ganlin!
  Ying Zheng picked up a piece of warm honey bean curd cake and handed it to Ying Chengxuan. He smiled and asked, "Since Brother Wang is not going to reuse merchants, who will Brother Wang use to promote the technological development you mentioned?"

Ying Chengxuan said while eating cake: "In our Qin Dynasty, the people who have money, leisure and time but dare not go to the battlefield as soldiers are not the only ones who are merchants."

"There's another group of people."

"Royal clan members!"

Ying Zheng looked stunned: "A royal family member?"

"Are you going to let the royal family members promote the development of technology?"

Ying Zheng really couldn't connect the well-dressed and indifferent clan members with the craftsmen.

Ying Chengyu nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Since King Shang's reform, the rights of my relatives in the Qin royal family have become less and less. Today, they are almost non-existent."

"But this is not just because of the strategies of the previous kings, but also because there are few talented people in the royal family."

"We, Da Qin, are now selecting and appointing talents, rather than judging official positions based on blood."

"They are not capable enough, but their vision is very high. They can't look down on ordinary people with small positions, so naturally they cannot be used by the country."

Ying Zheng nodded with emotion: "What Brother Wang said is true."

"Brother Nai, why are you afraid of re-employing the clan?" "If there are talented people like my brother in the Qin clan, how can I not use them?"

"It's a pity that there are no talents!"

Judging from the results, Ying Zheng never reused his clan members.

But with Ying Zheng's ability, skills and ambition, if there is a great talent in the clan, wouldn't Ying Zheng dare not use it?
  It is true that the talents of the clan children are not worth the risk Ying Zheng takes!
  Ying Chengyu nodded: "But these royal family members do not necessarily feel that they are not talented. Their desire for high positions has never faded."

"It just so happens that even if they don't have great talents, their talents and learning are much better than ordinary people."

"Even the poorest royal family members have much more property than ordinary wealthy households, and are even wealthier than mid-level merchants."

"They have nothing to do and plenty of time."

"Because there is no pressure to survive, they are not willing to start from the grassroots like ordinary Guizhou soldiers."

"In my opinion, instead of letting these people waste their money, we should find something for them to do!"

There are only two palms among the relatives of the Great Qin royal family who hold the title of king.

Most of the clan members, like Han Fei, had no titles. If they joined the army, they could only start as pawns according to military rules.

Their status cannot bring them much benefit. On the contrary, in order to maintain the military code and calm the morale of the army, there will always be at least two military law officials keeping a close eye on them.

Once you violate the law, you will be punished immediately and will not be tolerated!
  This leads to a question, how many people are willing to go to the battlefield and work hard as a soldier when there is no shortage of food, drink, and the company of a large group of beautiful women?
  Tiny!

So in fact, the royal family members of Da Qin have become the losers of Da Qin.

And Ying Chengyu hopes to mobilize the power of this group of people!

Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "Brother Nai can't give them too high a title."

"The military merit system is a weapon for our Qin Dynasty to conquer foreign countries, and it must not be tarnished by the royal family!"

Ying Chengxuan smiled and said: "It is enough to continue the policy of Marquis Wenxin and grant low-level titles according to merit."

"They don't have a choice."

"This is one of the few opportunities for them to get the title without working hard."

"If there are trustworthy and talented clan members, they can be appointed as the general's young master, allowed to have access to all craftsmanship, and promoted to officials."

"When the officials and nobles are added together, the clan will surely make progress."

The possibility of rebellion and coup by the royal family members is high, but the possibility of treason is relatively small. With them in charge of the research and development of core technology, Ying Chengyu can feel more at ease.

Ying Zheng asked again: "Do you think my royal family members are capable of studying craftsmanship, or even the ability to promote development?"

Ying Chengyu said seriously: "Maybe there is, maybe there is not."

"Whether the current royal family members have this ability or not, this is a way out for the royal family members. It is up to them to choose whether they want to take this path themselves or whether they want their heirs to take this path. "

"And even clan members without research capabilities can play some role."

"Instead of letting these clans raise chickens, dogs, and thieves, why not let them raise people who are good at craftsmanship!"

Clan members with talents and scientific research abilities were recruited into official workshops to engage in scientific research.

Clan members without talent can also rely on their status, connections and resources to obtain more talents than merchants, and like merchants, they spend money in exchange for technology.

Then Ying Chengyu smiled: "The left and right are just using waste."

"Instead of letting them eat my Daqin corn, it's better to let them move around."

Ying Zheng nodded happily: "That's true."

"Since Brother Wang has thought about it all, I will leave this matter to Brother Wang."

"It just so happens that Brother Wang is Zong Zhengcheng, so this matter is also within Brother Wang's responsibility!"

Ying Chengqiao raised his head in astonishment and looked at Ying Zheng with shock in his eyes.

Good guy.

I'm still wondering, why do so many simple truths still ask me, is the co-author waiting for me here? !
  What Ying Chengxuan is talking about now is just the overall plan. Not to mention its implementation, drafting laws and formulating specific rewards and punishment measures are enough to make Yingchengxuan lose a lot of hair!

But now that the words were said, Ying Chengyu could only nod his head: "Okay!"

Ying Zheng continued: "Which craftsman's skill deserves to be rewarded with money, which craftsman's skill deserves to be given a title, and it should be managed by a dedicated person."

"This position will know the secrets of all the craftsmen in our Da Qin. It is indeed a very important position."

Ying Zheng said bluntly: "Brother Nai can't trust others."

"How about I take the lead in setting up an office to deal with this matter?"

Ying Chengyu thought about it in his mind and found that no one was more suitable for this position than him. He could only grit his teeth and nod: "That's okay!"

Ying Zheng continued: "Another..."

As soon as Ying Zheng said a word, Ying Chengyu raised his hand in fear: "Stop!"

"No more!"

"The burden on my body is already heavy enough, and I won't be able to grow taller if I press it any further!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng laughed and scolded: "You lazy fool!"

"It's just a few small things. As for being tired?"

Ying Chengyu's eyes widened: "A few small things?"

"Military Academy Order, Zong Zhengcheng, Law of Law, build a new technical assessment yamen, in addition to inciting clan members and managing fiefdoms."

"Brother, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about 'little things'!"

The more he spoke, the more frightened the look on Ying Chengyu's face became.

It’s not that I don’t know. After thinking about it like this, Ying Chengyu felt like he could hardly breathe!
