Of course, this involved a problem!
Money!
In this era, all the people in the world were basically farmers.
With so many people, how many Qu Yuan Li would he need?
Great Qin could not afford it!
Although this thing was not a disposable item, it could be considered a relatively frequent replacement.
The first time was free. What should he do next?
He couldn't just let it go on for free, right?
Ying Chen wasn't the one who raised this question. He was still young and lacked experience in handling specific matters.
This was a problem that many people easily made. They had a lot of ideas, and sometimes it was good, but when it came to actual operations, problems often occurred.
In fact, it was a manifestation of his lack of experience!
It would be fine as long as he had more experience.
Therefore, from ancient times until now, the most important thing for a person's growth was often opportunities.
Some people have many opportunities to make mistakes in their lives.
However, some people never had the chance to make a mistake in their entire lives.
Principal Wang was able to make a mistake with 500 million yuan. Even if it was basically a loss later, it didn't affect him too much.
If it was an ordinary person?
Not to mention 500 million, even if he lost 500 thousand, he probably wouldn't be able to make a comeback in five years.
He had gone too far.
Li Si and Feng Quji came looking for him.
As Great Qin's Prime Minister, they were naturally the most concerned about matters related to the treasury, and they understood it the most.
This was also because Ying Chen had gotten the approval of Li Si and Feng Quji. Otherwise, if it was someone who wanted to scheme against him, it would be much more serious!
At that time, if this curved shaft plow was promoted halfway, the money in the treasury would not be enough.
Then there were only two choices. Ying Chen would pay for it himself and continue to promote it!
Or the promotion will be suspended, and the free things will become things that require money.
Then Ying Chen's reputation would be completely ruined!
Even now, if an item that was originally free suddenly needed money.
How many people would curse at him!
Just like that, Ying Chen saw Li Si and Feng Quji quarreling in front of him over the price of Qu Yuanli.
As a result, Ying Chen felt that these two fellows were too black-hearted.
In this era, the price of a cow was about 8,000 yuan.
Then, Li Si and Feng Quji started arguing over whether the Quyuan Li should be priced at 1,000 or 1,500.
Li Si still had a conscience. He was the one who supported 1,000 yuan.
Seeing the two Prime Ministers salivating over this matter, their faces turning red, and almost fighting, Ying Chen was speechless.
However, this kind of thing was normal. This was also a characteristic of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and even the Tang Dynasty.
Sometimes, when the officials disagreed, they would really fight.
Sometimes, even the emperor would be happy to see it.
The history books definitely wouldn't record it directly.
However, Liu Bang and Li Shimin had done this before.
This era wasn't like the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, especially the Qing dynasty.
Ministers knelt in court.
In this era, the Prime Minister and the Emperor had to greet each other.
Sometimes, the king would even bow to his subjects in order to seek talents.
Back then, Ying Zheng did not listen to Wang Jian's advice because of the invasion of Chu, which resulted in the total annihilation of two hundred thousand soldiers of the Qin army. In the end, he had paid a visit to the Qin army to apologize.
However, seeing the two prime ministers fighting like two fighting cocks, Ying Chen would definitely just stand by and watch. It was a little unethical!
Thinking of this, Ying Chen quickly said,"Alright!"”
As soon as he said this, the two prime ministers stopped.
Ying Chen thought for a moment, then asked,"How much do I need to pay to make a curved shaft plow?"”
Li Si and Feng Quji understood this problem.
" Your Highness," Li Si finally said," I need 80 yuan."”
"Eighty…"
Ying Chen thought about it carefully. He couldn't help but feel that these two prime ministers were really a bit black-hearted.
Selling something that cost 80 yuan for 1,000 yuan?
This was more than ten times the profit!
However, it didn't seem possible for them to be completely free of money and have no profits!
After thinking for a while, Ying Chen said," The promotion of this Qu Yuan Li is for the common people of the world. If you want to make money from the common people, that would be too much.”
"Like this!" Ying Chen immediately made the decision,"We'll promote it according to the price of 300 yuan per curved plow."”
"Right, allow the people to exchange grain for copper coins to prevent them from being exploited by others in exchange for money.”
Li Si and Feng Quji were speechless.
This Qu Yuanli was originally created by Ying Chen.
Now that he had offered a price of 300 coins, not only did the treasury not have to bear a large sum of money like before, but they could also earn a lot of money.
Li Si and Feng Quji thought about it and agreed in the end.
"Your Highness is benevolent!"
Good heavens, in Great Qin, where Legalism ruled the country, Li Si, who was called Benevolent and a Legalist, was also one of them. No one else could have done this!
"Right!" Suddenly, Ying Chen thought of a question."How much of the money will be transferred to the national treasury and how much will be transferred to the Inner Residence?”
Here, it would explain a problem.
In ancient times, the emperor's money and the court's money were two different things!
This matter had already been clear since the Zhou Dynasty.
Generally speaking, as a ruler, one couldn't use the money in the national treasury for personal use.
Even some wise kings would use their own small treasuries to fill the gaps in the national treasury.
Therefore, this was the key to Ying Chen's question.
This thing was created by me. You can't just send me away by saying that I'll keep it in the treasury, right?
Then wouldn't it be too much of a loss for Ying Chen?
Li Si and Feng Quji could not help but feel awkward.
Previously, they really had the idea of transferring all the money to the national treasury.
It wasn't that they wanted to covet the money, but as officials, they naturally wanted to collect as much money as possible into the national treasury.
The more money there was in the national treasury, the greater the authority of the officials!
After all, no matter if it was a small family or a big country, whoever had money would be more unyielding.
Li Si and Feng Quji were bullying Ying Chen because he was young, and Ying Zheng was not at home, so they wanted to deceive everyone!
This had nothing to do with loyalty. He simply wanted to make the national treasury richer.
Li Si and Feng Quji were really afraid of being poor all these years!
How much money had been spent to unify the six states? The Great Wall, the roads, the Psychic Canal, and the wars were all major national projects. Which one of them did not cost money?
Therefore, it was understandable that Li Si and Feng Quji had been so black-hearted about the price of the Quyuan Plow, and now they wanted to get more money from the national treasury.
