Chapter 211
Even if he had been prepared, when he really saw the crowded scene outside Xianyang New Town, Yingzheng and the important ministers of the court still took a deep breath.
Isn't that a million people?
It is estimated that the people within a radius of hundreds of miles have all come to participate in this grand event.
Moreover, there are at least thirty or fifty thousand foreign businessmen who look obviously different from the people of Great Qin.
The cadres immediately had a new understanding of the necessity of customs proposed by Fusu.
In Xianyang City alone, there are so many foreign merchants, and the entire Great Qin is afraid that it will be magnified several times or even dozens of times.
If special tariffs can be levied on these import and export trades, Daqin's treasury revenue will once again increase significantly!
And this is still in the case that Daqin only has one major treaty port, Songhai City.
If you can open a few more seaports in the Jiangnan area and open up the Grand Canal, the number of foreign merchants who come to Daqin for sea trade can at least multiply!
This kind of thing of making foreigners' money to promote the development of Great Qin is definitely something that Yingzheng and the important ministers of the court are absolutely happy to see.
It is also more supportive of sea trade.
Nowadays, the sea ships in all the shipyards in Daqin have been snapped up before they are launched, and they can be sold as many as they can be built.
And the Great Qin merchant ships on the blue territory are also growing rapidly.
What it brings is the national strength of Great Qin, and it leaps forward again!
"Father, it's time to open the market!"
Fusu handed the mallet to Yingzheng and reminded with a smile.
"Good. "
Ying Zheng laughed loudly, stepped forward, and rang the huge bronze bell over there.
"I announce, Xianyang New City, officially open!"
Merchants from all over the world, who had been waiting in line, hurriedly rushed in with the money tickets that had been exchanged in advance.
"This customs, as soon as it opens today, I'm afraid I'm going to have a headache counting money!"
Looking at the carloads of exotic businessmen rushing to buy tea, silk, glass and other Daqin specialties, Ne Shi Teng suddenly said with a happy face.
The bell tower where they are at the moment is as high as 20 zhang, which is the highest point in the entire Xianyang New Town.
Standing on the top of the bell tower, you can directly look at the entire new city, and clearly see the people of Daqin who are happily celebrating moving into the new houses in the residential area, as well as the appearance of foreign businessmen in the commercial area frantically buying Daqin goods.
"But isn't it, now the entire Great Qin is benefiting from the way of commerce advocated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if it was before, how could my Great Qin have the spare strength to build such a beautiful new city!"
"As far as the minister knows, the sales of this store alone are enough to recover all the investment in the construction of the new city, and there is even a surplus. "
Meng Yi also said with a happy face.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Xia Wuhe and other imperial doctors will regularly diagnose and treat these important ministers of the imperial court, and the important ministers of the imperial court of Daqin are now very strong, and they are all sighing for the advent of the prosperous era and the merits of Fusu.
"And that's just scratching the surface!"
"The most important thing is that through this experiment, the money ticket has been completely accepted by merchants from all over the world and officially circulated in various countries, which is the real wealth of the world concentrated in Daqin!"
Fusu said with a smile.
Sure enough, choosing Qian Zhuang is the most correct behavior.
When the transaction amount reaches a certain scale, whether it is gold, silver and copper coins, there is no money ticket to use.
Although it has only been launched for more than a month, the convenience and credibility of Daqin Qianzhuang money tickets have been unanimously recognized by businessmen from surrounding countries.
Especially in large-value transactions, it has directly become the mainstream currency.
The branch of Daqin Royal Money Bank has now been opened in Loulan Qiuzi and other surrounding countries.
The gold, silver and copper coins of the surrounding countries were also sent to the Daqin Qianzhuang branch one by one and exchanged for money tickets of different denominations.
The restriction on the need for handling fees for withdrawals has made many foreign businessmen simply give up the option of withdrawing and directly deposit the cash in the Daqin Royal Bank.
And with the promotion of this group of people, the Daqin Qian Zhuang money ticket became popular in the surrounding countries faster.
This money ticket is actually the Daqin version of the world's banknotes.
The value of the world's currency is to exchange a bunch of paper money tickets from various countries for a shipload of real money and silver, and completely control the economic lifeline of each country.
"If it weren't for Fusu, who would have realized that this business, which was originally regarded as a lowly way, would allow my Great Qin Dynasty to no longer be short of money, and the people would live and work in peace and contentment!"
"My Great Qin can have today's prosperous world, and you should be the first to help Su!"
Looking at the joyful housewarming people in the residential area, Ying Zheng said with sincere feelings.
As the first emperor of Great Qin, Ying Zheng sincerely hopes that Great Qin can flourish for thousands of generations.
It's just that due to various reasons, especially the worry that there will be no successor, Yingzheng had to rush to achieve success, and turned some long-term strategies that were originally beneficial to Daqin into the so-called "tyranny!"
However, since the rise of Fusu, all this has been completely changed.
The biggest internal worry within Great Qin, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, has long since disappeared, dead and wasted.
Originally, in the region of the Six Kingdoms, the people's hearts had already been completely annexed, and like the people of Baiyue, they completely regarded themselves as Great Qin people.
All kinds of benevolent policies implemented by Fusu have also been recognized by the people of Daqin, and Yingzheng has recently paid a private visit to Weifu, and many people can actually hear many people praising His Majesty as a benevolent monarch for the ages.
It is completely different from the previous tyrant name.
This is undoubtedly a great excitement for the First Emperor, who pursued perfection.
Especially all of this comes from Fusu, the son of Yingzheng, the future prince of Great Qin.
It made Yingzheng completely let go of his scruples and concentrate on paving the way for Fusu to take over Daqin in the future.
His greatest wish now is to see Great Qin unify the world and realize the grand wish of the empire on which the sun never sets, in his lifetime.
Then you can hand over the emperor's position to Fusu with peace of mind, and tour around the splendid rivers and mountains of Daqin.
And all this, it seems, is not far off.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's understanding of business, I admire it!"
"If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid that the old minister would have to worry about how to distribute the money in time at this moment!"
A group of civil and military ministers are also full of feelings.
It's only been a long time, and Daqin has completely changed.
And they, the courtiers, have also benefited a lot.
As the most people in the entire Daqin who have been taught business by Fusu, they have also invested in many projects with Fusu, and now they are all making a lot of money.
As a result, the standard of living has been improved by several notches.
In public and private, he is infinitely grateful to Fusu and completely obedient.
