MTL - Daily Life In Qin Dynasty-Chapter 170 Han Fei arrives in Qin Dynasty
Chapter 170 Han Fei arrives in Qin Dynasty
"Lord Sheriff, I don't know how much this 'enrollment quota' will cost?"
In the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, the excited businessmen are still excited, but the smart businessmen have already started asking for prices.
Chen Jinghui said indifferently: "A quota of 20,000 gold coins, each person can purchase up to three quotas. In addition, I need to remind you that the 'enrollment quota' of the academy represents only an opportunity. After entering the academy, specific How far you can go depends on the performance of the students themselves, do you understand?"
"Understood, Mr. Law is bothering you."
The thirty merchants below heard Chen Jinghui's words, and immediately nodded in response.
Of course they know that this purchase is just an 'opportunity', but for these merchants, having an 'opportunity' is enough to satisfy them.
Not to mention that this 'opportunity' only costs 20,000 gold coins.
Is 20,000 gold coins too much?
Talk from the heart.
Twenty thousand gold coins is not a small amount.
Because according to the current grain price in Hanzhong, 20,000 gold coins are enough to buy 200,000 shi of grain. And 200,000 shi of grain is enough for an ordinary farmer to make four or five hundred people live a lifetime of adequate food and clothing.
But if 20,000 gold coins are used to buy an opportunity to 'cross class', then not only is the money not expensive, it can even be considered extremely cheap.
Because before the "free trading market" in Hanzhong was opened, these businessmen just paid far more than this amount for the high officials and nobles who had protected them.
In other words, the reason why these 30 merchants were invited to the Sheriff’s Mansion this time was because they paid the most taxes and had the best business reputation during their business in Hanzhong, so they gave them a special offer. Such an opportunity for them.
Rather than what these businessmen were worried about at the beginning, they thought that Chen Jinghui was 'lack of money', so he called them over like this.
"I didn't expect that there are benefits to paying more taxes?"
"Fortunately, fortunately I didn't listen to Lao Wang's words at the beginning, otherwise this time the old man would have suffered a big loss for nothing."
"Hehe~~ If the person surnamed Qian knew about this, he would probably pass out from crying!"
······
After realizing this, many businessmen below were secretly glad for a while.
At the same time, many people thought of some previous partners.
People on the same path.
Many times, some gossip that the government doesn't know is no secret to them.
Although today's Hanzhong has strict supervision on the matter of "tax evasion and tax evasion", there are still a few people who will take risks and evade business taxes through various channels.
Originally, it wasn’t that no one had invited them, and even many of them had thought about it before.
After all, the business tax collected in Hanzhong is not low now. If they can escape the tax payment, it will be enough to bring them a large profit out of thin air.
But in the end these people chose to refuse for various reasons.
At this moment, how much hesitant they were when they refused, how lucky they are now.
"What do you guys think? Do you want to buy this quota?" At this moment, Chen Jinghui, who was on the main seat, urged her.
Hearing Chen Jinghui's urging, many businessmen below were startled and hurriedly spoke.
"want!"
"Of course, I will buy three seats."
"Me too, I also want to buy three places. But now I don't have so much cash in my hands, I wonder if the county governor can give me a few days to raise funds."
Since these retail merchants can become the top 30 taxpayers in Hanzhong County, the assets they own will naturally not be small.
If all their homes were ransacked, it is conservatively estimated that the average assets of these 30 merchants would be at least over 100,000 gold coins.
But assets belong to assets.
Cash for cash.
If these merchants are asked to take out cash at one time, let alone 60,000 gold coins, I am afraid that even 20,000 gold coins will be difficult.
And Chen Jinghui... No, to be precise, Mo Jun naturally thought of this a long time ago, so facing the businessman who needed time to raise funds, Chen Jinghui replied directly: "It's okay, Academy Building doesn’t happen overnight, each of you has a month that you can use to raise funds.”
Hearing Chen Jing's reply, there were still a small number of businessmen who were planning their own property and hesitating whether to buy one quota or two quotas, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately, they all expressed their opinions: "In this case, I also want three places."
"Add me."
"Me too."
······
In the blink of an eye.
Chen Jinghui's promised maximum of 90 quotas were all sold out.
It is obviously impossible for these merchants to take all of the 90 quotas. After all, there are not many merchants who can do it except for those truly wealthy merchants.
But if you can't eat it yourself, you can resell it.
Such a 'quota' can be a rare 'commodity' among merchant groups.
If you meet a suitable buyer.
Even if the asking price is 30,000, 40,000, or even 50,000, it can be sold.
Chen Jinghui is naturally aware of these things, but he doesn't care, because his task is to sell the 'one hundred places' that Mo Jun gave him, and just raise enough funds.
Um!
That's right.
is one hundred places.
Here, Chen Jinghui only sold 90 of them for the time being. As for the remaining 10, Chen Jinghui planned to wait until the value of these 'places' was higher, and then sell them to raise more funds.
Do not misunderstand.
Chen Jinghui had no intention of taking these ten 'places' by himself.
First of all, Chen Jinghui himself does not love money. Before Mo Jun came to Hanzhong, Chen Jinghui received a lot of money in Hanzhong, but it was not obtained by him through corruption, but forced by the old Hanzhong nobles at that time. Yes, even Chen Jinghui couldn't refuse.
Because Chen Jinghui will only be regarded as a safe accomplice by them if he accepts these 'bribes' and leaves a handle in the hands of those old nobles.
If Chen Jinghui hadn't accepted these 'bribes' at that time, then his existence would be regarded as a threat by those old nobles, and his situation would only be more dangerous than when Mo Jun came.
Secondly, there is no need for that.
Now that Chen Jinghui is in the imperial court of the Qin State, in terms of faction, he can almost be regarded as belonging to Mo Jun's side.
And Mo Jun has always been generous to his own people, with the current earning power of [Xiong Chu Mo Chamber of Commerce] and [Hanzhong County], even if Mo Jun just shows a little oil from his fingers, it is enough to support Chen Jinghui.
Under this premise, Chen Jinghui did not take the risk of annoying Mo Jun by doing such a thing that was not equal in risk and benefit.
Not long.
After getting the answer from Chen Jing, the merchants thanked each other and left.
After everyone left, Chen Jinghui got up and went to the back hall.
"My lord, the matter has been settled."
In the back hall of the Sheriff's Mansion, Mo Jun was bored and was studying on his own with a chessboard. It is strange to say that Mo Jun, who has swallowed a lot of [adventurer's souls] one after another, can be regarded as a real one now. Genius without buckle.
If not.
He also couldn't integrate everything he learned in his previous life, so that he has achieved great results in business, agriculture, and martial arts.
After all, Mo Jun before time travel was just an ordinary person.
Ordinary people will not become 'geniuses' just because of time travel.
The reason why Mr. Mo was born in agronomy in his previous life, but in this life he can show his ambitions in business, and he even has a little understanding of court strategy.
Mainly because of Mo Jun’s hanging up.
But the strange thing is the strange thing here, Mo Jun is obviously a genius now, but why he has been studying this small chessboard for nearly two months, and he is still a stinky chess basket?
That's all.
It seems that today's condition is not good.
Hearing Chen Jinghui's voice, Mo Jun messed up the chessboard on the table, then turned his head and said: "Now that the funds have been raised, then we can start building the academy according to my previous layout."
"Yes, I understand."
As Hanzhong develops better, Chen Jinghui admires Mo Jun more and more.
Including this time as well.
After all, this is a total of 1.8 million gold coins. If it wasn't for his own personal experience, I am afraid that Chen Jinghui would never have imagined that he would be able to raise such a large sum of money so easily one day.
"And one more thing."
Seeing that Mo Jun seemed to be about to get up and leave, Chen Jinghui hurriedly said: "My lord, this time raising funds, the lower officials made the decision without authorization and only distributed 90 'places', and the remaining ten..."
Before Chen Jing could finish his reply, he saw Mr. Mo who had already walked to the door and waved his hand without looking back: "This kind of thing can be handled by yourself, no one is suspicious, and the employer is not suspicious. Since I put this matter The matter is entrusted to you, naturally because I trust you, you just let it go."
Chen Jinghui couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips, bowed deeply in the direction of Mo Jun's departure, and said slowly: "I will definitely live up to my lord's trust."
······
······
Just when Mo Jun had just raised enough funds.
the other side.
Outside the border line between Qin and Han, a carriage slowly drove towards the border guarded by the Qin army.
"Stop, who are you?"
As soon as the carriage approached, a group of Qin soldiers in black armor approached, armed with weapons, and asked loudly.
Hearing the soldiers of the state of Qin shouting and asking, the carriage stopped slowly, and then the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and then under the eyes of everyone, I saw a man wearing a close-fitting flame suit and high boots under his feet. The seductive and beautiful woman walked down slowly.
"Gulu~"
When the woman stepped off the carriage, there was a moment of restlessness in Qin Jun's team, and the sound of someone swallowing saliva could be heard faintly.
But soon, Qin Jun's team gradually stabilized under the scolding of a senior in front.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass on our Qin territory."
Facing more than a dozen sharp spears, the seductive woman who suddenly appeared not only did not have the slightest fear, but instead smiled seductively at everyone and said, "Masters, my concubine's name is Yan Lingji, and the person in the carriage is the one sent by South Korea to go to Qin Dynasty." I would like to pay my respects to the 'envoys' of the King of Qin, I wonder if you military lords can let us pass, I thank you here."
Yan Lingji smiled, and Qin Jun's team became restless again.
However, the leader of the Qin army was unmoved, but his eyes flashed.
"South Korean envoy?"
Although Qin State has not yet issued a clear military order to attack South Korea, judging from the recent frequent mobilization of troops within Qin State, the war between Qin State and South Korea is basically at the stage of breaking out.
At this time, South Korea will actually send an 'envoy' to Qin.
No matter how you look at it, something is wrong!
"You wait here, I will report to the general."
Qin Jun thought for a while, and then sent a soldier back to the city to report.
After a while.
The soldier returned, and then whispered a few words in Qin Junshi's ear.
Qin Junshi nodded, first looked at the carriage ahead, and said, "You can go there."
Then turned around and faced the city wall behind him, shouting loudly: "Let go!"
