Noticing Zhao Sheng's approach, Brother Zheng asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Sheng's character has always been that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
He also wouldn't go to Brother Zheng's bedroom to greet Brother Zheng.
I saw that Zhao Sheng looked at Brother Zheng, seeing that his mind had been exposed, and said with a smile on his face, "Father, I want to call a caravan!"
"What caravan?" Brother Zheng frowned slightly.
As the emperor's son, it's really disrespectful to be a businessman.
Zhao Sheng could see Zheng Ge's dissatisfaction, but this caravan was what Zhao Sheng had to do.
It is related to the economy of the Daqin treasury.
"Build a caravan, travel to the Western Regions, and sell glass made of sand in the Western Regions with cheap items from the Great Qin!"
And this caravan belongs to Daqin, and all the profits it generates belong to Daqin.
Zhao Sheng continued to add, "This road to the Western Regions is called the Silk Road, and merchants from the Great Qin Dynasty can summon merchants to the Western Regions to make money!"
Chapter 132
Brother Zheng lowered his head, as if thinking about the feasibility of the Silk Road.
"How do you know that there are countries in the Western Regions?" Brother Zheng looked at Zhao Sheng in doubt. The Northern and Western Great Qin only knew that there were Xiongnu, and never thought that there were barbarian countries in the Western Regions.
"Returning to my father, my son not only knows that there are countries in the Western Regions, but there are 36 countries in the Western Regions. The world is so big that my father can't imagine."
In order to dispel Brother Zheng's worries, Zhao Sheng continued to add, "If the emperor doesn't believe his son, the Daqin caravan can just prove it for him!"
"I believe in you." Brother Zheng's eyes were slightly bright, and his fists were clenched slightly. The 36 countries in the Western Regions, for a while, once again aroused Brother Zheng's desire to conquer.
Zhao Sheng saw what Brother Zheng was thinking, and said with a light smile, "Father, Daqin used the Silk Road to fill the treasury of Daqin and recuperate. When the military strength and food and grass can keep up, the 36 countries in the Western Regions will all have to pay attention." It belongs to the land of Great Qin."
Zhao Sheng is bound to win the 36 countries in the Western Regions.
Brother Zheng raised his eyebrows, and also thought about a key issue on the Silk Road, so he asked Zhao Sheng, "Silk Road, how does the Daqin caravan know the way?"
The Mengma Jiuyuan cavalry lost their way on the Gobi and lost nearly [-] brave Jiuyuan cavalry.
If the caravan lost its way on the Silk Road, what would be lost would be the goods and the people of Qin.
Zhao Sheng seemed more confident about this question, and pondered, "Your Majesty, the method of identifying the direction has been cracked by the Academy of Sciences."
You only need to find lodestones from iron ore, and use lodestones to make Sinan, which can be used to identify directions.
"Oh?" Brother Zheng saw Zhao Sheng say this, it must be some kind of strange object produced by the scientific research institute, and it can also be used to distinguish the direction.
"In this case, if there are obstacles in the way of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, how should we deal with them?" Brother Zheng is considering whether the Western Regions will trade with you, or whether the 36 countries in the Western Regions are barbarians like robbers like the Huns. null.
I believe that even businessmen will take into account the risks, so they dare not rush to the Silk Road.
Zhao Sheng seemed calm and composed when dealing with Brother Zheng's question.
Regarding the safety and security of caravan travel.
"You can pay a Daqin protection tax, that is, a Daqin trade tax, which includes the profit of the caravan, and the tax will be collected in proportion to the profit of the merchant. The protection tax is that the caravan's goods are lost. The Daqin army Responsible for dispatching the army to recover, and Daqin is responsible for compensation for the loss."
The Xiongnu were all sent to the Western Regions. I believe that the Huns' team will soon disturb the 36 countries in the Western Regions.
Wait until they know that the Huns were beaten by Da Qin.
You will know the prestige of Great Qin.
At that time, there will be no such blind 36 countries in the Western Regions.
If so, Daqin would have a reason to send troops.
Taking the national war as an excuse, he went to the 36 countries in the Western Regions to add more land to the Great Qin.
I believe that by then, there will be businessmen and caravans supporting the launch of national wars against the 36 countries in the Western Regions.
It was the first time Brother Zheng heard about this protection tax, so he couldn't help feeling a little novel, but he thought about it carefully.
It is still possible.
"In that case, let's organize the Great Qin Caravan!"
Zhao Sheng was overjoyed, and after bowing and saluting, he took the initiative to resign on the grounds of organizing the Great Qin Caravan.
In the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Sheng summoned Yu Ziqi and asked him to inform the officials in the court that there were officials who would serve as envoys for the Great Qin.
Zhao Sheng also wrote a notice, which was to the Daqin merchants, encouraging them to go to the Silk Road for trade.
Another is to recruit people from the common people as the composition of the Great Qin Caravan.
The salary among them is frighteningly high.
As long as you take a trip on the Silk Road in the Western Regions, you can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for half your life.
There will definitely be people who are not afraid of life and death, and will come to sign up.
After Zhao Sheng posted the notice, the nearby soldiers guarded here and brought the people who came to sign up for the Great Qin Caravan to the Prince's Mansion.
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
It's been a long time.
After Yu Ziqi notified the officials in the court, what Yu Ziqi did was basically to notify the bureaucrats and pass on the officials.
But the effect was minimal, although as an envoy, he was rewarded with a lot of titles and gold.
However, with such a good thing, those monkey-like officials must have thought of the risk of traveling to the Western Regions.
Nine deaths, people died, no matter how high the title and gold are, it will not help.
It's too late to even enjoy it, so it's better not to take this risk.
As for Dunruo, who is in charge of diplomacy, Dunruo is old and can't afford to travel like this.
Zhao Sheng looked at Yu Ziqi, and asked lightly, "How?"
Yu Ziqi shook his head in embarrassment, indicating that no official was willing to go to the Western Regions for Daqin.
Zhao Sheng thought in his heart, is there no brave man among civil servants?
It seems that we have to start with the generals. After all, most of the generals in Daqin have courage and blood.
