Li Yang smiled slightly, because he never thought that in just three years, Daqin would have such a big change.
Of course, the civil and military officials present couldn't hide their excitement under the circumstances.
Who would have thought that in the Great Qin Dynasty at the beginning, the old and the weak could not afford food and clothing, and military salaries and taxes were even more serious. In just three years, the New Deal completely reversed the situation.
Today, not only has the food production increased, the national treasury has been filled, but also the northern grasslands have been unified. Who would have dared to think about all this?
At that moment, Fusu held up the wine glass in his hand, and said to Li Yang respectfully: "The Daqin is able to have what it is today, the Grand Tutor has made great contributions, I will respect the Grand Tutor!"
When everyone heard this, they all raised their wine glasses and said in unison: "Respect the Lord of the Town!"
"Today's Great Qin is the result of the unity of all people. I respect you all!"
Pretending to be coercive and taking credit for being arrogant are two different things, and Li Yang is still aware of this, so he quickly got up, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and drank with everyone humbly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At the moment when everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the Great Qin Dynasty, the fireworks in Xianyang City seemed to be waiting for this moment, flying in the sky and blooming at the same time...
Under the echo of the gorgeous fireworks, Fusu only felt a rush of blood rushing through his body, and a passion that he had never had before spontaneously arose.
As the eldest son of Great Qin with the job of supervising the country, he deeply understands that only by making the Great Qin rich and the people strong can he live up to the country of the Great Qin and the common people in this world.
Thinking of this, Fusu drank the wine in one gulp, raised the empty cup, and shouted with great excitement: "The Great Qin Revolution, the whole country is united! The country is rich and the people are strong, and it will last forever!"
The officials seemed to be moved by this atmosphere, and they couldn't help shouting together:
"The Great Qin Revolution, the whole country is united! The country is rich and the people are strong, and it will last forever!"
"The Great Qin Revolution, the whole country is united! The country is rich and the people are strong, and it will last forever!"
"........."
The more than ten thousand forbidden troops in Xianyang Palace seemed to be infected by this passion, and they also shouted in unison: "The great Qin revolution, the whole country is one heart! The country is rich and the people are strong, and it will last forever!"
The sound of cheering, one wave is higher than the other.
From inside the Xianyang Palace, it has spread outside the palace, and then thousands of people in the entire Xianyang City shouted together:
"The Great Qin Revolution, the whole country is united! The country is rich and the people are strong, and it will last forever!"
"The Great Qin Revolution, the whole country is united! The country is rich and the people are strong, and it will last forever!"
"........."
The voice shook the sky, went straight to Yunxiao, and resounded throughout Xianyang City.
At this exciting time, a military captain hurriedly came to the military minister Han Xin, and said: "Report, General Han, there is an urgent military situation at the border!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Han Xin's face faded immediately, and he quickly took the military intelligence report, took a look, and then quickly said to Fusu: "His Royal Highness, there is a military intelligence report from the border. The Qiang people rise up!"
"Oh?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
And Li Yang was also taken aback, because he remembered that the Yue clan sent troops to Wusun. According to the original historical records, in the late Qin Dynasty, the Wusun led by Nandoumi was a small nomadic tribe.During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the Wusun and Yue clans both lived in the Hexi area, living at the east and west ends of the Hexi Corridor, with Wusun in the west and Yue clan in the east, roughly bounded by Shandan County in Zhangye today.
In 177 BC, the Da Yuezhi attacked Wusun, who was nomadic in the western part of the Hexi Corridor (from Zhangye to Dunhuang in present-day Gansu). In the end, Wusun was defeated and the king died in battle.The remnants of Wusun fled to the Xiongnu, and the Da Yuezhi controlled the Dunhuang area.
That is to say, the year when the Yuezhi attacked Wusun should have been in 177 BC, but now it is 207 BC, which means that the Yuezhi attacked Wusun 30 years earlier.
Why... is this early?
However, after thinking about it, Li Yang suddenly understood.After all, because of his time travel, the situation around the Great Qin has undergone tremendous changes. Today, all the tribes of the Huns have been unified by the Great Qin. This is obviously a danger for the Yueshi.Therefore, it is reasonable for the Yueshi to expand to the southwest in advance.
but……
Thinking of the Yueshi attacking Wusun and Qiang at this time, Li Yang thought it was a good thing, and couldn't help but raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, good, great! I, Daqin Zhengchou, opened up a land business to the west. It turned out that this opportunity came so soon, haha!"
3 Eighty chapters send troops Yuezhi?
"Teacher's intention...is that I, Da Qin, can take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to the Yue clan?"
Seeing that Li Yang was so pleasantly surprised, Fusu immediately saw what Li Yang was thinking, and couldn't help asking quickly.
Li Yang nodded: "Your Highness is wise, the Yue clan divides its forces to attack Wusun and Qiang, and this is the heaven-sent opportunity for us, Great Qin, to destroy the Yue clan."
When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads in agreement.
The Yueshi attacked Wusun and Qiang, which is indeed a great thing for Daqin!
Daqin has already vigorously developed the handicraft industry. The glass and crystal manufacturing industry in the south, under the personal guidance of Li Yang during his inspections in the south, is now a mass production.At the same time, Gongshu Chu invented the textile machine, which also brought great progress to Daqin's textile industry, increasing the efficiency several times.
In addition, there is the advent of the flying clipper ship, and the reform of the currency of Qin State, all of which are for the next step of international trade.
In Li Yang's words, today's Daqin has a prosperous country and people's peace, and its internal worries have been resolved. If the country is to become rich and the people strong, Daqin's next task is to make money!
And making money is something worth thinking about.For example, how to earn money?Whose money is it?
If the court only wants to earn money from its own people, there are three ways:
One, taxation.Exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes, excessive collection and excessive collection, let the people pay [-]% to [-]% of their annual harvest.
Second, print and distribute currency.Continuously printing and distributing banknotes, turning worthless "paper" into money.
The third is to sell land to realize land fiscal revenue.Taking advantage of the public ownership of land in the Qin State to develop real estate, the wealth of the common people in the Qin State will be collected into the finances.
It's just that the above three ways of making money from Daqin's own people are not desirable for Li Yang.
Because the tax is heavy, the people suffer.
If the currency is issued indiscriminately, the hard-earned wealth of the people will shrink.For example, after saving [-] Qin knives with great difficulty, the purchasing power will be depreciated by half after a few years. This is too unscrupulous for Li Yang, and he can't do it.More importantly, the currency is related to the great Qin country, and there is no room for any risk.
When it comes to real estate, don't say that the people of Qin State are still very poor and have no money at all. Even if the people have a little savings in a few years, Li Yang doesn't plan to cut the wool of the people of Qin State.
Because Li Yang knows very well that the suffering of the people is not easy for the people.After finally getting enough food and clothing, they have just accumulated some savings, and then let them bear the mortgage and become house slaves. What a tragedy it is.
A house is just for living in.It is normal to spend three to five years of savings to build a house. If the wealth of two or three generations and the energy of a lifetime are only used for housing, Li Yang thinks it is a tragedy for the entire nation.
Because what Li Yang wants is that the people of Daqin have higher ideals, and the whole nation has a soul.
Therefore, after much deliberation, the only way for Qin to make money is to earn money from foreigners if it cannot increase taxes or rob people's wealth by force!
And international trade is the most important means!
Sell some commodities such as glass, crystal, and brocade silk to foreigners at high prices in the form of luxury goods, in exchange for a lot of wealth, and at the same time buy back basic materials such as food, so that the Great Qin is truly rich and strong.
Of course, in addition to making money from international trade, Li Yang has a more ambitious ideal, which is to make Daqin's currency an international currency through the international trade of commodities, so as to realize the ultimate goal of cutting the world's wool.
