Chapter 998: Spend Money

Zhao Lang didn't think too much about giving the honor guard of his celebration to the people.

What use can a guard of honor serve?

It's just to increase the dignity and make it look better.

But the route he planned to take was to get close to the people. Being too majestic would not be good for him.

The people-friendly approach is the real one.

As for looking better, he doesn't even care.

Furthermore, although the current situation of the people at the bottom has improved, they are not too well-off. After all, the time for the development of Great Qin is here.

Therefore, I converted my ceremonial guards and the celebration gifts prepared by various counties into materials and gave them to the people.

It's just a natural thing.

Of course, there won’t be too many of these things,

But I didn't expect that Chen Ping would be so skilled and considerate.

All his ceremonial supplies come from various nobles, which can not only bring them closer to each other, but will not damage the majesty of the royal family.

After all, in everyone's eyes, the royal family and the nobility are one.

The situation is different for businessmen. These people cannot have direct contact with the royal family. These people are not qualified enough.

But if these donated materials are given to the people, there will be no problem, and the access to merchants is also extremely convenient.

It feels great to have talent!

"Master, do you think we should give you some nominal rewards?"

The slave on the side said at this time,

"I see that these merchants are very wealthy. If I give them some rewards, I might even be able to contribute some money."

Zhao Lang glanced at Nu with a profound look and said,

"Why, you have had a lot of contact with business people recently?"

The slave's heart tightened and he quickly said,

"Master, I just want to see that in the past two years, the merchant family has developed extremely rapidly. If the Qin Dynasty had not been stable, they would never have had such a good life."

"It is also appropriate to ask them to contribute some money."

Zhao Lang also studied deeply at this time and said,

"As long as the businessman's money is earned legally and taxes are paid, then it cannot be withdrawn at will."

"I will give them nominal rewards, but they are not allowed to take them by force. Do you understand?"

The Qin Dynasty still focuses on the rule of law. Taking advantage of it by force will only destroy the credibility of the Qin government.

It is not conducive to future development,

Naturally, the slave responded repeatedly and was about to retreat.

At this time, Mei walked in and said,

"Alang, were you just talking about the merchant? Do you know the big gift that Miss Shang has prepared for you?"

Zhao Lang was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but ask,

"What kind of gift?"

Mei immediately covered her mouth and wanted to run away, but Zhao Lang hugged her back.

"Speak clearly before we leave!"

At this time, Mei could only explain the matter clearly with a smile, which was quite simple.

After his enthronement in spring was announced, Shang Yan'er was ready to give him a gift.

Merchants from all over the country have already received the notice and have prepared supplies. They are waiting for the snow to melt.

Donate in the name of celebration,

Hearing this, Zhao Lang couldn't help but look strange. No wonder those businessmen reacted so quickly to Chen Ping.

It turns out that I was already prepared!

Chen Ping probably thought that his own strategy played a big role. This businessman is indeed cunning!

However, he still wanted to accept Shang Yan'er's wishes, and the people who benefited from this matter were ordinary people in the end. He had no reason to refuse, so he said,

"Then I'll find a chance to thank her properly."

Mei chuckled when she heard this and said,

"Miss Shang is giving herself a dowry, but she doesn't know when she can give it away."

These words made Zhao Lang blush and said,

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"

"And I have enough of you."

After that, I took advantage of it a little bit.

Mei quickly said,

"Little girl, I don't care if you understand it or not, but you are not allowed to touch me these days. Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu are both looking forward to it."

After saying that, he seemed to be running away and left here.

However, Zhao Lang shook his head with regret. Of course, he did not dare to touch the other party.

But soon Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu arrived and said with a smile,

"My lord, it's getting late. It's better to rest quickly."

They have to keep working hard.

At this time, the slave also wisely withdrew, but when he got outside, he could not help but shake his head thinking about the business, and said to himself,

“If you want to buy yourself into the royal family, you have to spend some money.

＿＿＿

In a merchant manor in Xianyang City,

Shang Yan'er was talking to the elders of the business,

"Since you have received a hint from the government, this is the best thing to do. Remember that all the materials this time are sent out in the name of donation and to celebrate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's enthronement!"

“Absolutely not use the name of the business!”

Upon hearing this, a relatively young middle-aged elder asked in confusion,

"Chief, His Highness the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne is naturally a big event. It's not a bad thing for us to take the opportunity to provide materials and enhance our reputation."

"Just why not in my own name?"

Before Shang Yan'er could speak, an older merchant elder next to her knocked her on the head and said,

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ascended the throne. Are you going to deliver things to the people in the name of the merchant? What do you want to do? Or do you want the government to misunderstand what the merchant wants to do?"

"Is it because the current status of merchants is not low enough?"

Several questions were asked directly to the middle-aged business elder, who blushed and couldn't help but argue,

"I just feel a little bit at a disadvantage."

Sending out so many supplies is all their money.

What's more, businesses have been doing similar things in the past two years, spending a lot of money.

At this time, Shang Yan'er glanced at the other business elders around her. Although everyone was silent, it could be seen that they still cared about money.

Shang Yan'er immediately said calmly,

"Don't forget what the situation was like for businesses a few years ago?"

“Who made businesses develop?”

"It's not me, let alone you, but this peaceful world! Or rather, the founder of this peaceful world, His Highness the Crown Prince of Qin!"

"Now that I finally have a chance to show my good will, you are reluctant to part with the money. When did the merchants become so short-sighted?"

Shang Yan'er's words made everyone blush, and they all came back one after another,

"Everything is decided by the leader!"

Only then did Shang Yaner give the order,

"Then act according to the plan and don't delay. If anyone lets me know that they are seeking personal gain from it, they will hand it over to the government. Don't blame me, Shang Yan'er, for being ruthless!"

The merchants immediately responded, then turned and left to make preparations.

After everyone left, Shang Yan'er put away her fierce look and glanced in the direction of the palace with some disappointment.

Then she left here. She had to keep an eye on this matter personally, otherwise it would be easy for a good thing to turn into a bad thing.

Not long after, many messengers left for various places.

As the temperature gradually turned back, pedestrians finally began to appear on the road, and of course, more of them were messengers galloping on their horses.

Soon, the entire Great Qin gradually recovered.
