"The two counties are suffering from major floods. Your Majesty wants to open warehouses and release grain to provide relief to the victims?"

"I have never had this matter before in Daqin. Your Majesty is indeed kind and righteous!"

"Not only that, Your Majesty also has to appoint craftsmen and doctors, and to recruit tens of thousands of livestock from Hebei to distribute them for free..."

"A unprecedented move, the victims will be grateful..."

"Well, the newspaper office also needs to raise old clothes to transport them to Qidong County and send them to the victims for free. This is another kind act. Someone has several sets of old clothes. Go back and ask the wife to take them out and sew them and donate them to the newspaper office!"

"What brother said is right. The two counties are thousands of miles away, and they are traveling back and forth for more than a month. I am afraid that we can't help the disaster victims, but I can still give you a few pieces of old clothes that you don't wear..."

"I am in Qi County, but I don't know if the family members are good. I don't have to go back..."

"Water and fire are ruthless. This was already ten days ago. If it weren't for the newspaper's publication, I might not know it in ten days. It's useless for brother to rush back, and it's inconvenient to get on the train and horses. Why not go to the newspaper office to ask when the old clothes they collected will be shipped? You can also go and help and go back with you!"

"Brother, I woke up the dreamer with a word. I'll go to the newspaper office to ask!"

After getting the newspaper, many people stood directly on the street to discuss and watch, and most people were accustomed to reading the first edition of the imperial edicts and factual news. After reading it, many people began to go home to prepare some old clothes for donation. Some literati and merchants from their hometowns also flocked to the newspaper office to ask for more accurate news. Many of them directly asked for help collecting and organizing old clothes and doing their part to the hometown.

"Ask merchant ships from Qi County and Dong County to help consign old clothes?"

In the south of the city where merchants gathered, some merchants who received the newspaper gathered together to discuss the only topic on the front page of the newspaper that was related to merchants.

"This matter is probably thankless, so you should not be involved in it rashly!"

"Brother Fu said that he also felt that he could not agree rashly. He went to Qilu for more than 2,000 miles, and there were also a lot of clothes. These clothes were not food, copper and iron, and they were all frivolous and large. Now the river boat was only ten feet long and three feet wide. If the newspaper collects tens of thousands of clothes, it would probably take dozens of ships to transport it. It would be a good idea to go there. It would be smooth sailing in three to five days, but the return was entirely due to boatmen and slaves leading them with fiber ropes, and they could return to Xianyang at least in more than a month. There was countless money and food consumed during the trip..."

"Yes, I was very interested in helping, but I'd better give up!"

"I wonder if my brothers saw the last few words?" One of the tall and thin merchants pointed to the news that the advertisement was posted for free.

"I don't know what it means. Since I'm asking for help, I never said I'd have to pay for food. This is definitely similar to credit!"

"No, maybe it's just a gimmick. Brother Qi, don't think too much!"

Several businessmen shook their heads and said they didn't know. There were other people who persuaded them not to think about good things. There was no way to do business without money, and even the emperor could not do anything without money.

The tall and thin man surnamed Qi remained silent. After almost the discussion was discussed, he took the carriage on the newspaper table and headed straight to the newspaper office.

Since the imperial court made three rules, the Henan victory has led to the merchants who participated in the three rules making a fortune. In Xianyang alone, caravans have driven thousands of Xiongnu horses, each of which is 8,000 yuan. Among them, there are rare BMWs that sold tens of thousands of yuan. Recently, Jingyang County, not far from Xianyang City, has become a huge horse trading market. The crowds of people are raging every day. Rich merchants from all over the country gather here, and groups of horses from all over the country trade here. Horse dealers from all over the world seem to be celebrating the New Year every day.

These horses were not allowed to be bought in Henan. According to the agreement of the three chapters of the law, the merchants who obtained the spoils were given priority to supply these merchants who participated in the construction of the three chapters of the law. However, there was no stupid merchant who participated in the three chapters of the law. Since they had the right to buy first, they must get it first. And it was too cheap. A sheep was less than 30 yuan, and a foal was only 200 yuan, which was exactly the same as picking up money. These foals arranged for the Huns to raise two years later and then became a strong horse. After getting the Central Plains for 8,000 yuan, it was a profitable deal. In this civilized country based on farming, large livestock such as cattle and horses would never have to worry about selling them. The people could not afford them, but the kings, princes, ministers, officials and nobles had a very large demand.

If an ordinary front-mounted dual-wheel drive and four-wheel drive carriage is replaced with a Hun horse, its size will instantly increase by more than ten times. Sitting on the carriage pulled by a majestic Hun horse, it instantly gives off a sense of arrogant look. It is the feeling of sitting on the Hummer H1 to watch a QQ car, and it will naturally bring about the ambition that I can crush.

Therefore, the three rules not only allowed the Qin Dynasty to win an unprecedented victory, but also quickly created a large number of huge merchants who made their fortunes by relying on cattle and horses. Now other merchants in Henan are almost unable to get involved.

The three rules were proposed by the Marquis of Qinghe.

Those who listened to Qinghe Hou's words became rich, and it was a fortune that many merchants could never accumulate in their entire lives.

A small businessman who earns one or two thousand yuan a year can make the family live without worries about food and clothing, and is considered a small wealthy family. If he earns three or five thousand yuan a year, he can basically be considered a middle-aged family. He can raise a few ordinary cattle and horses. If he earns tens of thousands of yuan a year, he can buy slaves and carriages and horses. But these are all small businessmen, as well as wealthy merchants and huge merchants, whose annual income is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. However, the annual income of these merchants caused by the three rules is at least one million, completely controlling the transaction of cattle, horses and animals in Henan and the Central Plains. This process will continue, and finally form a group of super merchants that monopolize the transaction of large livestock and fur goods in the Central Plains.

As long as the Qin Dynasty does not fall and these merchants control Henan to tame cattle and horses, no one can squeeze into this market anymore.

At the same time, this group of people monopolized the steel smelting and saddle production in the Central Plains, monopolized the procurement channels for horse-pawning equipment in the Qin Dynasty, thus forming an interest group closely related to the court, and these people will inevitably surrender to some kings, princes and ministers as big trees. It was heard that a large number of merchants in Nanyang County were all closely related to the Hou Qinghe. Last time the Hou Qinghe returned to Nanyang to marry, hundreds of merchants in Nanyang County carried their cars for him. After this incident came out, it caused a huge sensation. The merchants in Nanyang County are now in the Qin Dynasty, Luyang Steel Factory, Wuyang Steel Factory, Wancheng Masan Factory, and Yangcheng Armory Factory. These factories developed with new styles of horse-pawning all have a reputation throughout the Qin Dynasty. Every day, there is a steady stream of horse-pawning equipment being accepted by the imperial prison officials and handed over to the Ministry of War to transport it to the Northwest Military Camp, equipped with 30,000 new styles of horse-pawnings, and all of these arms are sent to the court for free.

The people have long speculated that after the autumn of this year, His Majesty will issue another order to conquer the Huns and Donghu are all targets. At that time, the spoils will be the dishes from these steel saddle merchants' pots. Outsiders cannot grab food to compensate these merchants for their free contributions to the Qin Dynasty.

Today, the Metropolitan Daily sent out the message of inviting merchants to help transport clothes. Although there was only one sentence that was inconspicuous and did not mention money and food remuneration, it mentioned the term advertising.

Therefore, the merchant surnamed Qi was slightly moved, not to mention that he was a former nobleman of Qi, Tian Qi replaced Jiang, and the Jiang family changed his surname to Qi, but he never forgot his motherland from beginning to end. Now he has no idea of ​​restoring the country. However, in the face of the hometown created by Taigong and Jiang family ancestors in the past, he still wanted to do his part to the disaster-stricken compatriots in his hometown.

The Daqin Metropolitan Daily, those who have no relationship with Qidi will collect old clothes to transport Qilu to the victims. The people in Qidi naturally do not want to fall behind. Moreover, he originally had seven or eight merchant ships, traveling along Qilu and the river all year round to do business, selling grain cloths and other messy commodities. This time he also planned to take advantage of the summer grain harvest to buy grain in Qilu, which is also a way to go.

What's more, the newspaper was founded by Qinghe Hou, so it would never write meaningless words in the newspaper for no reason.

The word "Advertising" must have other meanings. Just like the three rules, it may be a great opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop and become rich.

When the merchant surnamed Qi came to the newspaper office, the street outside the newspaper office was already crowded.

A large number of Xianyang people came to donate clothes, some one or two, some three or five, and some were directly used carriages and large carriages to pull old clothes and beddings over. The newspaper office also hired hundreds of helpers to carry them, and dozens of women were invited to help organize these old clothes. A group of students from Weihe Academy and many scholars who came to help spontaneously braved the hot summer registration records and helped count the clothes. More than twenty donation points lined up along the street were crowded with people. A large number of old clothes were selected, folded and packed, and then arranged for the carriage to be pulled to the warehouse. The rest were too worn and not discarded. After packing, people were arranged to send them to the paper mill outside the city. All of these clothes were made of twine, or good materials for making hemp pulp and paper, which was not wasted at all.

Looking at this lively and enthusiastic scene, the businessman surnamed Qi felt a little sore inexplicably.

These people do not care about rewards, in order to help their former fellow villagers.

Among these affected people, there may be his relatives.

Just when he made up his mind to help transport these clothes even if he didn't get any compensation for money and food this time, another scholar grabbed him and stuffed the brush and paper in his hand into his hand and said, "No need to go in and say hello, just help here. Anyway, they are just registering a name, but there will be free meals later..."

The businessman surnamed Qi was so amused that he was amused and crying. When he was about to explain, several carriages drove over and stopped in front of him. Several palace servants and eunuchs jumped off the top. One of the palace servants pointed to the clothes piled on the carriage and said, "These are clothes that the concubine Shu arranged for collecting from the warehouse of the bedroom that the palace maids did not use. Let me send them here. You can sort out the same ones and send them to the disaster area together..."

After the palace maid finished speaking, the eunuchs ordered all the clothes on the carriage to be removed and then turned around and left.

There are hundreds of these clothes, including clothes, shoes, hats, bedding, etc., and they are basically brand new.

Everyone in Xianyang knows that Concubine Shu was originally from Qi, with a beautiful and gentle appearance, and was once the beloved concubine of King Jian of Qi. After coming to Xianyang, he heard that he was also deeply loved by the emperor. The palace was luxurious. When he heard that his hometown was suffering from floods, he naturally wanted to do his best.

The businessman surnamed Qi did not intend to explain, so he started to register under the inventory of the helpers and several women. After the inventory was completed and folded neatly, he attached a piece of registered hemp pulp paper to it so that it would be convenient for distribution at that time. At the same time, the name of the donor must be attached. The businessman surnamed Qi respectfully wrote the word "Shufei" on it.

The clothes donated by Concubine Shu were quickly sorted out and sent away. Then countless people rushed up with their clothes. So the merchant surnamed Qi began to help. This was approaching two hours. As noon, the canteen helper in the newspaper office transported several buckets of food in a carriage and wooden barrel, including steamed buns, pickled vegetables, rice porridge, and loofah and chicken soup. Although it was not rich, for many helpers, it was already a rare delicacy.
