MTL - My Great Qin Cannot Die-Chapter 590 Why does His Majesty 1 must enhance the status of merchants?

Seemingly decentralization, it is actually a high concentration of imperial power. The most important thing is that in this way, the risk of imperial power is reduced.

This is the superiority of the system.

In the future of Daqin, the emperor must stand tall, and the three sides of the military, government, and law will face each other, pushing Daqin forward.

Following an edict, the major offices were dismantled and reorganized, and new offices were born one by one, and the powers and responsibilities of each office were clearly divided.

For a time, the bloated official system of the entire Great Qin suddenly loosened and swelled, forming a system centered on the emperor, which closely restricted each other's achievements.

At this time, Cai Zhong, Cai Jiu and others came together and went straight to Zhangtai Palace, asking to see Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, Cai Zhong and others are asking to see you!" Zhao Gao looked solemn. He was very cautious these days, and he always felt that the First Emperor looked at him with a bit of coldness.

"Let them in!" Sitting on the top of the cave, Ying Zheng looked calm, and he had some guesses about the purpose of Cai Zhong and the others.

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Zhao Gao calmly retreated, walked out of Zhangtai Palace, and nodded towards Cai Zhong and others: "Your Majesty has a call!"

"It's work!"

Cai Zhong, Cai Jiu and the others walked into Zhangtai Palace, saluted Ying Zheng, and said, "Cai Jiu-Cai Zhong pays respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is Wannian, Daqin Wannian!"

"You gentlemen don't need to be too polite!"

Signaling Cai Zhong and the others to get up, Ying Zheng opened his mouth and said, "You Aiqings have entered the Zhangtai Palace, but is there something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, I thought about it for a long time after I went back. Regarding the business transformation, I thought that I should once again convene important businessmen in the country to hold a meeting."

"Then formulate rules so that merchants can be restricted by the system and the law while developing and prospering."

Cai Zhong said in a deep voice to Ying Zheng, "I think that in order for the empire to prosper, it really needs to further loosen restrictions on merchants, but once merchants form a large scale, they are a great threat to the imperial court and must be restricted."

"It's enough for you to come forward in this matter. If I come forward in person, the public opinion and pressure formed will be enormous, and it will even affect the stability of the empire."

Having said this, Ying Zheng paused slightly and said, "I have only one request for this matter, and that is to completely resolve this matter within a year, so that business can be on the right track."

"In Daqin now, there are all kinds of problems, not only merchants, but also industry, craftsmen, education and other issues. These all need to be on the right track."

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Cai Zhong assured Ying Zheng, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this minister will complete this matter as quickly as possible and open the way for other reforms."

"Um."

Nodding his head, Ying Zheng took a deep look at Cai Zhong and said, "If there is a lack of talents, Aiqing can choose from Ji Ran's family. As long as he is politically correct, anyone with talent can be hired."

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

In an instant, Cai Zhong and Ying Zheng exchanged opinions with each other. Obviously, Ying Zheng wanted to formulate rules for business together.

This is a great undertaking.

Cai Zhong's heart was agitated, and he knew in his heart that this matter was also the highest pursuit of their Jiran family since their birth.

Both parties have the same purpose.

Cai Zhong knew that if the Jiran family wanted to achieve this goal, they needed the firm support of the imperial court, and even the strong force of the king.

For Ji Ran's family, encountering this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Cai Zhong left.

However, Ying Zheng had not moved. He was thinking about the prospects and possible consequences of the opening of business, and what kind of deployment the empire needed to make in response to these consequences.

He is an emperor and must be responsible for the empire.

"The Administration for Industry and Commerce, the Tax Administration, and various laws about commerce must be detailed and perfect. Only in this way can commerce be prosperous and at the same time under the control of the empire."

"Of course, when the Qianzhuang issue is implemented, various licensing systems, and various supervision by law enforcement agencies, only when these are perfected one by one can the stability of the empire be guaranteed."

"It's just not enough."

Ying Zheng knew in his heart that even though he was the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor who pioneered the world, but raising the status of business would harm the interests of the scholar class in the world. At that time, the major clans, gentry, and aristocratic clans would all resist one by one. .

Even the hundreds of schools of thought who have surrendered will have opinions.

It must be represented by Confucianism and Legalism.

Scholars, peasants, businessmen, and commerce have long formed their own inherent concepts, and in Daqin, on the Central Plains, the status of merchants has always been the lowest.

In Daqin, it is a national policy to focus on the fundamentals and suppress the end, which has been adhered to for a hundred years.

"Zhao Gao, edict Bi Yuan!"

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Zhao Gao turned to leave, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed sharply, he knew in his heart that Li Si was busy with other things now, and the Tingwei's Office had to take responsibility.

Tingwei Bi Yuan must shoulder the role of making laws.

The current reform is just a step by step. Above the empire, major official offices are being established, but the responsibilities of the current Tingwei's official office are extremely arduous.

The current roaming agency has not yet been established, it is just an empty shell.

In the public prosecutor's law system, the real role is the Tingwei's Office and the Censor's Office.

It is just that the legislative power is extremely crucial. It is not enough to have an official office of the Tingwei Mansion. More people are needed to participate in it, especially the people from the imperial clan and the Industrial and Commercial Administration.

With his open mind, Ying Zheng's thoughts on this matter became more refined.

"My minister Bi Yuan pays respects to His Majesty, His Majesty is ten thousand years old, Daqin ten thousand years—!" At this moment, Tingwei Bi Yuan walked into Zhangtai Palace, saluted Ying Zheng, and said.

Looking at Bi Yuan who was saluting, Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite, just sit down."

"My minister thanked your majesty~www.novelbuddy.com~ Bi Yuan took his seat next to him, bowed his hands to Ying Zheng, and said, "Your majesty summoned the minister, but what are your orders? "

Bi Yuan knew clearly that he was Tingwei, and that Daqin established the country through legislation. Once Ying Zheng summoned him, it would be a big event.

When Ying Zheng summoned him, he naturally couldn't let Ying Zheng speak first.

"I plan to revise the law, especially the law of Jinbuli, to be as detailed as possible!"

Having said this, Ying Zheng turned the conversation and turned towards Bi Yuan, saying: "I have discussed with Cai Zhong and others for a long time, and plan to improve the status of merchants and strengthen circulation to ensure the prosperity of Daqin."

"I have been thinking about it, thinking that speeding up the flow of goods will make Daqin prosperous, but there must be restrictions on merchants, and the law is the most important. Therefore, I plan to amend the law and increase the law to improve the law on business. , to ensure the stability of the empire."

Hearing what Ying Zheng said, Bi Yuan frowned: "Why does Your Majesty have to raise the status of a merchant?"
