Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

"Your Highness, the ZHA festival is coming soon. Do you have any plans?"

Yu Shu walked in holding a bowl of freshly brewed tea and said softly.

"Is it the end of the year so soon?"

Fusu put down the pen in his hand and made a general statement.

The Qin New Year is not the Spring Festival in later generations, but the first day of October in the lunar calendar, which is called the Waji Festival.

In fact, the calendars of each dynasty are different.

Since the Xia Dynasty, January is the first month of the year, but it was changed to December in the Shang Dynasty, and in November in the Zhou Dynasty.

Da Qin respected the theory of the Five Virtues of the Yin and Yang Family.

Because according to the Five Virtues, Da Qin was the water virtue, which just replaced the fire virtue of the Zhou Dynasty. Virtue is the destiny of heaven.

Corresponding to the virtue of water, in addition to respecting black, there is also the calendar"Jianhai", which means October is the first year of the year.

Therefore, there is no Spring Festival in Daqin. First, winter has just entered and spring is still early.

Moreover, during the New Year, there are no such grand celebrations as in later generations. The main purpose is to worship gods such as Shennong and Houji, praying for good weather and a good harvest in the coming year.

After the sacrifices are completed, it will Bringing out all kinds of sacrifices, wine and meat, etc. to share together is considered to be a celebration of the New Year.

However, this year, with the arrival of Fusu, Daqin has undergone earth-shaking changes. This New Year can be celebrated with a grander atmosphere.

Fusu's heart After thinking about it, I quickly made a decision and simply got up and headed towards the palace.......

"Why do you have time to see your father today?"

Seeing Fusu, Ying Zheng immediately put down the memorial in his hand with a smile.

Although the father and son have a very good relationship, due to their busy schedules, they don't have much time to see each other except for court meetings.

Especially with the sudden change of the treasury After getting rich, all the civil and military ministers were holding back their energy to submit various budget plans, making Ying Zheng so busy that he even slept in the imperial study, let alone proposed to the palace.

"It's not that the New Year is coming. I have some ideas and want to communicate with my father. Fusu said with a smile.

He really admired the diligent work of the First Emperor.

Seven or eight hours a day, fifteen or sixteen hours of reviewing memorials, he would never be able to withstand it for a few days.

But the First Emperor It has been like this for almost thirty years

"There is no need to be restrained with your father. If you have something to say, just say it."

Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hands.

He really enjoyed the close feeling between father and son when he was alone with Fusu, which made him feel the long-lost family affection. It always touched the softest side of his heart and made him feel better. Get well

"In fact, it is very simple. I am preparing for this year's New Year and celebrating it grandly, so that the people of Great Qin can feel the glory and tangible benefits that Great Qin has brought to them. Fusu said with a smile.

"This year, our Great Qin has conquered the whole world, destroyed several countries in a row, and opened up thousands of miles of territory. We should indeed celebrate it."

"It's just that although the national treasury received more than 50 million yuan in new money some time ago, the expenditure is also very large. If it is done in a big way, won't it be a bit extravagant?"

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and said.

He has always been very frugal in nature. The food and clothing in the palace are very simple. Even after the national treasury became rich, it was still the same.

"Father, don’t worry, all the expenses this time will be paid by your son, and not a single penny from the national treasury will be used!"

"Moreover, my father, in many cases, spending more would actually be more beneficial to Da Qin. Fusu said with a smile.

"How can this extra money be beneficial to Da Qin?"

Ying Zheng said slightly surprised.

Although he knew that his son was the initiator of Great Qin's business, and now Great Qin's business is booming and the treasury revenue is growing day by day, but this concept is too novel, right?

"Father, do you still remember what your son and your father said before in the court, that money begets money?"

"If this money is stored in the treasury, it will always be just money, but if it flows, more people can benefit from it."

"Only with greater mobility can more people benefit and gradually become rich."

"However, due to fear of poverty, the people of Qin rarely dared to use some of their money even if they got it. They kept it at home just in case. Isn't this a waste?"

"The same is true for the imperial court. It is appropriate to leave some money and food in the national treasury for emergencies."

"But if you leave too much, it will be a waste."

"Take the water conservancy project and Chidao as an example. Now our country, Daqin, implements an employment system. It seems that compared to the previous corvee work, the expenditure is more."

"But in fact, due to the reason of more work and more rewards, the people involved in the construction will be much more enthusiastic, and the efficiency of the construction will be faster than before."

"The sooner such a project is completed, the faster Da Qin's power can be developed. The time gained cannot be measured by value."

"Moreover, although these wages are left in the hands of the people from the national treasury, they are still within Daqin. As long as we can allow the people to use the money, we can drive business again, and eventually it will not turn into commercial taxes and return to the national treasury. inside. Fusu said with a smile.

"This is indeed the case."

Ying Zheng thought for a long time and finally nodded.

"Moreover, didn’t those remnants of the Six Kingdoms always attack our great Qin for being cruel, and also made many false accusations against my father?"

"Now we are showing it openly and openly. The great achievements of Daqin's development have allowed the people to realize the real benefits and see the hope of a better life."

"As long as the people's hearts are devoted to the Qin Dynasty, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will not cause trouble at all."

"Now in Sishui County, haven't people started to report the Xiang family's children who have escaped?"

Fusu took advantage of the victory and pursued.

A look of relief suddenly appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

Fusu's move was to pay for his own money and rectify the name of his father in front of the people of the world.

His son is so filial, Ying Zheng's mood , naturally it’s good and it couldn’t be better.

"But would it be too much for Fusu to pay for such a huge expense?"

Ying Zheng hesitated and said.

"Father, don't worry. Your son dares to make this suggestion, so he is naturally confident."

Fusu said with confidence.

As the leader of Daqin's business and the major shareholder of cement and other workshops, in terms of wealth, Fusu can definitely shock the eyes of those so-called wealthy people.

This amount of expenditure, in Ying Zheng's opinion It’s an astronomical figure, but for Fusu, it’s not a problem at all.

And it’s just that the initial investment is a little larger, but it can still make a profit in the end.

"In this way, the father is relieved.

Ying Zheng nodded happily and said,"This is the best gift my father has received this New Year!""

Fusu smiled calmly and began to discuss the specific implementation plan with Ying Zheng.

"Choosing Fusu to be the crown prince was indeed the most correct thing my father did."

After a long time, Ying Zheng took a deep breath and said.

As expected of his own son, he was a little shocked by this generosity.

Once it is released, the entire Great Qin will be excited about it!
