Chapter 73 I, Shi Huang, make money

As more and more people go to the library to read books, the sales of dictionaries are increasing every day. As more people are literate, they have to write and draw, and the sales of white paper are also increasing day by day.

Every day, the income from the Cultural Affairs Bureau will be transported to Lijiazhuang in boxes and trucks. In Xianyang, there is no place in which there is more money than Lijiazhuang except the treasury.

Xianyang City, Afang Palace, Chaocheng

"Where is the Shao Mansion?" asked the First Emperor with a strong voice.

"I am here." A middle-aged man crawled on the ground.

"Is my treasury still full?" asked the First Emperor.

"Report to Your Majesty, most domestic projects have been stopped this year, and the people have cultivated their lives and rested. The treasury is much more generous than in previous years." said the Shaofu.

Shaofu and Zhili Neishifu are both financial management units of the Qin Dynasty. The difference is that Shaofu manages the emperor's private treasury, while Zhili Neishifu manages the national treasury.

This means that the tutor is more generous than in previous years, which does not mean that the Qin Dynasty in previous years is poor. The Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms and had a large area of ​​arable land, and the hundreds of years of war between the six kingdoms made this unified empire not densely populated.

In Daqin, a family of five often has 100 acres of land. The hardworking Daqin people paid the tax burden and supported their family.

The countries that perished in the entire 5,000-year cultural history of China were either due to literature and martial arts, or because of poverty and wealth.

However, the Qin Dynasty was just that country that was destroyed and rich. How rich the Qin Dynasty was can be viewed from the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang opened Ao Cang, who was on the verge of destruction of the country, and this Ao Cang alone supported the cost of the Han army in the battle between Chu and Han.

And there are 12 grain warehouses like Ao Cang, there are as many as 12 places in the entire Daqin.

"Have the age and expenses in the palace been drafted?" asked the First Emperor.

"It's already done. After I get off the court, I'll order someone to send it." said the Shaofu.

"Double the cost of Fusu and Yue'er," said the First Emperor.

"Then the wealth minister has revised it and handed over the memorial." said the Shaofu.

"According to the prince's expenses, prepare one more and send it to Ronglu Hou." said the First Emperor.

As soon as the First Emperor said this, everyone knew that the Ronglu Hou Li Chen really caught the eye of His Majesty. This person from the other surname took the prince's offering, but it was the first place in the Qin Dynasty.

When the First Emperor mentioned Ronglu Hou, he suddenly seemed to remember something again. He took out a piece of paper, wrote a line of words on it, handed it to the Shaofu, and said, "When I was sending the New Year to the Queen, I handed this item to Ronglu Hou, and he knew what to do."

Xianyang City, Lijiazhuang

At the entrance of the village, a pig farmer was slaughtering pigs. Today, Lijiazhuang is the richest farm in Xianyang City. Even ordinary people can take out the remaining money for buying a live pig during the Chinese New Year.

"Since the Marquis came to visit our Lijiazhuang, the pork in our Lijiazhuang is more fragrant than other places." The surrounding farmers were chatting.

The pork has become delicious. It's not a joke, but a serious truth.

Before Li Chen came, the pork on Daqin had never been incited. Not only did the uncast pork grow slowly, but the pork was rough and had a fishy smell.

Under Li Chen's guidance, the pork that has been incited is different. It grows fast, the meat is delicate, and there will be no fishy smell at all.

"That's not. Back then, our Lijiazhuang was just a stinky dung ball, and anyone who came here would smell bad. Now, we are a hot commodity. The second son of the Wang family, the one who drooled all day long, even took the village flower Erni from the next village." A middle-aged man said angrily.

"It's only the fool Wang Laoer who married a foreign village. In this way, he often had to supplement his children, not only the children born were also mixed-race children." The village woman next to him said.

"Mixed Race?" The people around were a little puzzled.

"The children born in our Lijiazhuang and the women in Zhangjiazhuang are not mixed-race, and Lijiazhuang is mixed-race in Zhangjiazhuang." The village woman said with confidence.

When Lijiazhuang was exploited by Zhao Gao, Lijiazhuang was the poorest in the surrounding area, and few daughters from other villages came to marry. Now that Lijiazhuang is developed, he naturally doesn’t want to accept people from other villages.

There is no love without reason in the world, nor is there no hatred without reason. The merchants in Lijiazhuang really love this marquis who let him live a good life.

"Brother, your eyelids are twitching?" Liuzi suddenly said. The two of them were walking around, and Li Chen's eyes suddenly twitched.

"It's said that the left eye twitches, the right eye twitches, Liuzi, see if it's the left eye twitches or the right eye twitches." Li Chen felt that his eyes were like an electric small motor installed, and he had already jumped to numbness.

"Brother, you are lucky and bad, and good fortune depends on each other." Liuzi paused for a moment, like an old fortune teller.

"Maybe I haven't had a rest, right?" Li Chen murmured in his heart.

"Boss, the Lord of the Shaofu is here." Just as the two of them were walking aimlessly, Daniu walked towards him and said.

"What are you here for?" Li Chen asked.

"Looking at the big bags, luggage and shoulder poles, maybe they are here to give gifts." Daniu couldn't figure it out and hesitated for a while and said.

"Give a gift?" Li Chen murmured in his heart, he had no friendship with the Shaofu.

"Oh, Lord Wei, there was some wind blowing east, south, west and north today that brought you." Li Chen said with a smile.

Wei Xin was a little close to Zhao Gao, one was the Shaofu Order and the other was the Zhongche Order. Even the two of them were connected together, so they were almost wearing a pair of pants.

"Hey, what does he mean?" Wei Xin asked in a low voice to the entourage beside him.

He learned from Zhao Gao that Li Chen was not easy to get along with. In order to eat less, he specially transferred a famous family from the young mansion to follow him.

"Sir, he called you a gyro." The man responded in a low voice.

"Hmph, Zhao Gao did not lie to me. This Ronglu Hou is not a good person, and he doesn't even have a dirty word for cursing people." Wei Xin thought in his heart and said with a smile: "I am here on the order of Your Majesty. If it is about Your Majesty's favor, the Marquis is now this." Wei Xin said, and gave a thumbs up.

"How do you say this?" Li Chen asked.

The Marquis didn't know that the minister's annual fee was transferred from the side of Zhili Neishi. The civil and military ministers in the court included Li Si and Li Xiang, and the old general Wang Jian, and these were all the years from the side of Zhili Neishi.

"But you are different. I am there, this is the private warehouse of Your Majesty. Your Majesty's direct children are allocated according to the cost of Your Majesty's direct children. What does this mean? I believe you know it in your heart." Wei Xin praised it vigorously, and he was really a slick old fox.

"Could it be that I want to treat me as my...a son-in-law?" Li Chen thought to himself.

"Please trouble Lord Wei."

"But, how can you be so embarrassed?"

"Six sons, put it away." Li Chen said secretly joyfully.

"In addition to these costs, Your Majesty also wrote a letter to the Marquis in front of the civil and military officials in the court." Wei Xin said, taking out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Under Wei Xin's gaze, Li Chen opened the envelope and saw the words on it, and was amused and crying.

"I, First Emperor, pay money."

"Nine One, I Nine One, you One."

Some people were happy and some were sad. Under Liuzi's silence, Wei Xin pulled more than a dozen carts of gold and silver from Lijiazhuang.

"Do I, Old Wei, know why Mr. Ronglu liked him so much? I feel like this. This is a God of Wealth." Wei Xin looked at the vehicles of all sizes behind him, thinking that his young mansion would have to build a few more warehouses.
