Nationalization of merchants?
"Your Majesty, you mean…to allow merchants to do business in the name of Xianyang Palace or even Great Qin?”
Meng Yi looked at Zhao Tuo in disbelief.
This was a thought that they had never had before, nor did they dare to have.
"Why not?"
"This…I don't."
Meng Yi smiled awkwardly.
In his eyes, as well as everyone else in Great Qin's, trading was a cheap profession.
However, His Majesty had already said that he wanted to clear the name of the merchants.
In this way, it was not unreasonable for Xianyang Palace to do business.
At this moment, even Ying Zheng, who was extremely disgusted and disgusted with merchants, could not help but frown and think deeply.
"If the Ba family's businesses were to be under Xianyang Palace and they were to do business in the name of Great Qin…"
"With the support of the Xianyang Palace, the support of national policies, and talents to choose from…"
"The most important thing is…this merchant is earning money really fast!”
"Once Xianyang Palace has its own merchants, the money earned will be directly transferred to the national treasury to be used for Great Qin's national policies and construction costs…Good idea! It's indeed a good idea!"
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
The idea of owning a country's merchants was something that Great Qin had created. After collecting taxes, it was another way for the treasury to make money! Most importantly, there was no need to continue exploiting the people!
Wasn't this the divine medicine that the current empty Great Qin country's treasury needed the most?
In the end, he thought of something exciting and waved his hand."Zhen also thinks that this is a good time! Tuo 'er, just do it!"
Zhao Tuo smiled.
In this world 2,000 years ago, other than war, all aspects of development were in a state of ignorance.
Especially in terms of economic and social systems, even the currency had just been unified. Things that were too in-depth were definitely not as thoroughly studied as the modern world two thousand years later.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng spoke again.
"Tuo 'er, I am very curious. When you were only eight years old, you already had such thoughts?”
"More or less." Zhao Tuo shrugged.
Ba Qing chuckled." Do you know why I trust you so much, High Emperor?"”
"Back then, His Majesty had such foresight. In just two years, he led the Ba family, which had spent nearly half of its wealth to build the mausoleum, to rise again.”
Hearing Ba Qing's words, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, and Wang Ben looked at Zhao Tuo with numb eyes.
Originally, the three of them thought that they already had a very high evaluation of Zhao Tuo in their hearts.
However, after today's incident, he realized that he was not the only one.
This young second emperor was clearly only eighteen years old, but he was like a natural moat.
Looking down…it was bottomless!
Ying Zheng had a vague premonition.
Back then, when he chose to abdicate the throne to his 15th son, Zhao Tuo, it was the wisest decision he had made in his life, other than annexing the six dynasties!
……
"Your Majesty, you can take away all the valuables in this warehouse.”
"The rest of the shops have liquid funds, so you don't have to worry.”
Looking at the golden light in his eyes, a brilliant smile appeared on Zhao Tuo's face.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
"General Wang, go back and bring a team of carriages and some Buddha soldiers over to move the money!”
"Here!"
In a short while, the troops arrived.
"Pack everything! Immediately transport it back to the national treasury without any mistakes!
"Here!"
The hundreds of Iron Futu did not hesitate at all.
In just two hours, the entire warehouse, which was about six tons of gold in modern times, was completely emptied and sent back to the national treasury in batches.
Of course, there was no jade or jewelry left behind. Everything that could be taken away was left behind.
Just as Zhao Tuo and the others were about to leave happily, Ba Qing called out to Zhao Tuo.
"Your Majesty, please wait. You…you've left something behind.”
"Oh? You even left one behind?"
Zhao Tuo subconsciously looked up at the warehouse.
It was clean, not even a rat.
Didn't you leave anything behind?
Just as Zhao Tuo was puzzled, Ba Qing smiled and pulled Ba Man, who was behind him, to Zhao Tuo.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you personally said that I would give all my possessions to Your Majesty?”
"Ah, no…I didn't forget."
Looking at Ba Man's shy face, Zhao Tuo was a little stunned.
However, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, and Wang Ben, who were standing behind him, had their eyes turned ambiguous.
Ba Qing chuckled." Your Majesty, you should know that Ba Man was adopted by me from the group of people you formed.”
"Now that Ah Man has followed me for ten years, not only is she proficient in the way of doing business, but her skills have also not fallen behind.”
“……”
"I have been a widow for half my life and have no children. A Man is like my own flesh and blood. If I can stay by His Majesty's side, I can close my eyes in peace and go find my bitter husband.”
Looking at the pitiful Ba Man in front of him, Zhao Tuo finally nodded.
"That's good too. Ah Man can go back and keep Little Peach company.”
Just like that, after bidding farewell to Ba Qing, Zhao Tuo brought the reluctant Ba Man back to the palace.
"Minister Meng, after you return, tell Minister Feng about the business that I mentioned today.”
"In addition, now that the national treasury is full, we can start to build a part of the paper mill. Remember, the sooner the better!”
"Here!"
Meng Yi hurriedly left.
At this moment, only Ba Man and Ying Zheng were left beside Zhao Tuo. Ba Man's eyes were filled with curiosity, but also a little reserved.
Glancing at Ba Man, then at Zhao Tuo, Ying Zheng suddenly asked curiously,""Tuo 'er, I heard from Madam Qing that you have formed a group of people?”
"Oh, that."
"Back then, because the Li Palace had suffered many assassinations, and because they had some resources on hand, they had made additional preparations.”
Zhao Tuo grinned.
"It's nothing more than an organization that can't be seen in the light. It's not worth mentioning.”
