The project bidding matter received support and response from more than 20 most powerful businessmen in Daqin, and Li Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this matter, the Ba family played a great role. If it weren't for the Ba family's handling and contact and taking the lead, these merchants would probably not have believed Li Yang so easily.

After all, everyone knows that the Ba family is Li Yang's confidant, and the business that the Ba family is willing to participate in will naturally not be a loss-making business.

Because it is related to famine, we should not delay too much. Since this matter has been supported by merchants, the faster the better. After all, delaying for one more day means that countless victims will starve for one more day, and countless victims will starve to death on this day.

Without further ado, Li Yang decided to hold a formal bidding two days later, and at the same time, he also asked these more than 20 top businessmen to take a good start and promote the project bidding to other businessmen.

Although it only took two days, under the leadership of these more than 20 merchants, the project bidding incident in two days triggered the entire business community.

The 120,000 wealthy businessmen in Xianyang City are almost all aware of the project bidding, and everyone is talking about the project bidding.

Especially when learning that the more than 20 top wealthy businessmen were keen on this business, the businessmen below were even more jealous and prepared, and wanted to get a share of the cake.

For a moment, the entire business community was working hard and eagerly waiting for the bidding conference!

…………

Two days passed in a flash...

This day finally came the time for the bidding conference to be held.

This bidding conference is responsible for the Development and Reform Commission, with tens of thousands of registered merchants.

The project is divided into more than 100 projects according to the bid section, so the bidding conference is also divided into hundreds of events, but even so, hundreds of merchants will participate in the bidding in each event.

The originally large and large office of the Development and Reform Commission was now full of more than a hundred businessmen, all of whom reported their own prices, and more than a hundred people competed for a project.

The whole conference was very lively!

At the same time, Qilin Palace was the morning court.

When the ministers and ministers in the court clapped and applauded when they learned that Li Yang actually planned to rely on engineering bidding to solve the famine.

Originally, everyone thought that he was planning to raise funds from the merchants.

How much money and grain can you get when raising donations? It is good to raise money and grain to solve the disaster victims in a county when raising donations. However, more than 30 counties in the Qin Dynasty have caused disasters, which is a drop in the bucket.

However……

However, Li Yang actually used engineering bidding to ask merchants to hire disaster victims. In this way, merchants would naturally be willing to invest all their money in order to make profits from it. This is a wonderful plan!

In the court, everyone looked at Li Yang with admiration. Why is this guy always so unexpected? And every time he thinks of a ghost idea is so novel and amazing? He can't help but clap people.

This is really a genius!

To be honest, everyone present, whether it is civil officials or military generals, asked themselves that it is really impossible for them to use engineering bidding to solve the problem of famine.

Everyone had to accept this.

Of course, after Emperor Ying Zheng learned about this situation, he praised Li Yang.

This guy can really surprise him every time.

He can think of what others can't think of, but he dares to think of what others dare not think of.

Uh...although I was a little arrogant when I spoke a few days ago.

However……

His method is really great, he deserves the word "color".

Ying Zheng praised happily: "Li Yang, if the problem of the victims in this disaster can be solved, I will definitely remember you for your great contribution!"

Li Yang smiled happily: "Thank you Your Majesty, I will eat your king's salary, share your worries, and seek the peace of the people. This is my duty, and I dare not seek merit."

"Haha, you must be credited." Ying Zheng laughed twice, then suddenly said with a little concern: "But you really have confidence that these businessmen will be willing to take over these national projects?"

Li Yang nodded and said confidently: "Please rest assured that this is a matter that benefits the country, the people and the self-interest. How could a businessman not even understand this principle? I believe that today's bidding conference will definitely be very lively. Everyone strives to be patriotic businessmen to relieve the worries of the Qin Dynasty."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he rolled his eyes a little. If the merchant had this awareness, he would not be called a merchant. A few years ago, there would be no need to force 120,000 wealthy merchants to Xianyang City for surveillance.

Isn’t this because of a businessman who is treasonous, and is profit the first?

It is awkward to be a patriotic businessman for the country and the people.

At this time, Feng Quji immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, as long as the merchants see the profit, they will naturally compete for each other. I heard that the bidding price of this project is extremely high. With such a huge profit, merchants will definitely compete to earn money and food from the treasury."

"Oh? Is the price very high?" Ying Zheng was stunned and said curiously.

Feng Quji held a bidding charter in his hand and reported: "The bidding price for all projects in this bidding charter is as high as two million gold, which is estimated to be completed in half a year. In this way, nine hundred thousand gold and labor costs are enough, plus wood and bricks and stones, a total of one million gold is enough. However, the bidding price for the Qinling Mausoleum by the Development and Reform Commission is as high as two million gold, which is twice the normal cost."

Speaking of this, Feng Quji looked heartbroken and choked and said, "Your Majesty, this...they want to send all my Great Qin treasury to these profit-oriented businessmen."

At this time, Feng Quji and his party all advised in unison: "Your Majesty, if you bid like this, the national treasury will be empty. At that time, the fruit of a poor country and a rich businessman will be lost. The Qin Dynasty will suffer!"

Yes, in later generations, this behavior is called wasting state-owned assets. You may even be covered with a serious crime of colluding with merchants.

Sure enough, seeing the emperor's face sinking, a censor said: "I heard that the Ba family has had too much contact with the Prime Minister of the Central Committee. Even Ba Mi, the second leader of the Ba family, had an engagement with the Prime Minister of the Central Committee. This time, the bidding minister believes that there is a collusion between officials and businessmen and conspiracy with the National Treasury money and grain. I hope Your Majesty will clearly observe!"

A group of officials from the Censorate and Feng Quji's party petitioned: "I hope your Majesty will order the Tingwei Office to conduct a thorough investigation!"

Suddenly, the other officials were in an uproar.

When Li You heard this, he was so angry that he was not only participating in Li Yang, but also participating in his father Li Si. So he pointed at the group of ministers and angrily scolded: "The Prime Minister of the Central Committee worked hard and worked hard to calm the chaos, and then came up with such a strategy of being both good and beautiful. The ministers and ministers were so wronged that they slandered the Prime Minister. It was the heart of a loyal and virtuous minister!"

He Zhang also quickly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is loyal and loyal. He will never collude with officials and businessmen, and do things that are greedy and abused by the law. I hope Your Majesty will not believe it."

To be honest, Li Yang was also extremely upset. The Censorate was his subordinate. He was in charge of the law. As a result, his subordinates were all involved in the collusion between officials and businessmen. This fact may have rarely appeared from ancient times to the present.

Of course, this also made Li Yang understand that he was in charge of justice and politics, and he was actually a bare prime minister. He was in charge of the Tingwei Office and the Censorate. He would listen to himself in editing the new law. In other matters, everyone only listened to Meng Yi and Feng Jie.

Ying Zheng was also a little surprised. This situation surprised him very much.

If the people in charge of the law, the law will instead participate in the Prime Minister. This Prime Minister is quite a failure, right?

However, Ying Zheng was indeed a little angry. You actually spent two million yuan on what one million yuan could do. Even if you are not greedy for the money, this level of generosity is equivalent to giving the treasury to the merchant.

Ying Zheng still couldn't stand this.

At that moment, Ying Zheng asked with a calm face: "Li Yang, what Feng Xiang said about the price is true?"
