The Princess's Assassination
Shang Wen still didn't know what was going on and had been kicked twice in a row. The last kick even kicked himself into the house. Shang Wen's heart was now filled with anger. When had he ever been beaten like this? He was also an expert in weapons, only having the privilege of hitting others, not being hit himself.
At this time, Shang Wen rubbed his waist and saw a tall woman wearing a black tight-fitting suit. Her figure looked particularly good. Her face was not bad either. Her skin was fair, but he hadn't gotten a clear look yet. Next, a bronze sword came stabbing over.
My dear, hurry up and hide. Can't lose your life just because you're admiring beauty.
The rose is lovely, but it has thorns.
That woman didn't care about right or wrong, she just came in and started chopping. Shang Wen had no choice but to randomly pick up things and throw them over. While throwing, he shouted for help, but not a single person appeared after half a day. Damn it, the security measures were so strict during normal times, now there's not even one person around.
Look at this woman, she's so crazy. It's a wonder she hasn't killed herself yet. Shang Wen was driven by his desire to survive and started cursing his ancestors eighteen generations back. The woman apparently couldn't take it anymore and became even crazier, almost charging in several times. Shang Wen looked around again and saw that there was nothing left to throw. If he threw anything else, he would have to throw himself out. Is that possible? Oh my god! Shang Wen's heart was extremely anxious and he was about to catch fire.
Finally, even the blueprint was thrown out. The woman directly cut off in mid-air. This move is too cruel. I hope she won't hurt herself. Shang Wen thought so in his heart. But this also couldn't stop the woman from rushing over.
"Heroine, spare my life, I surrender!" he said, raising his hands. The woman angrily rushed over and kicked him with one foot. Fortunately, Shang Wen had a bulletproof vest to protect him, or else his ribs would have been broken.
Shang Wen lightly floated up and fell to the ground. The woman then violently beat him. Shang Wen quickly dodged, only to hear the woman shouting: "Useless thing, can't even withstand this little beating. Only knows how to wag his tongue. Dead wood! See if you dare to anger my father the king." She fiercely continued to hit him.
Shang Wen knew what to do. He could only run for his life. He found an empty space and ran out of the house. The woman started chasing him. Shang Wen saw a few servants standing in the distance and hastily shouted: "Call the police! Call 911!" Then he thought about it and realized that this wasn't America.
"Come and help! You're so timid. Look at this female bandit showing off her ferocity. Don't you have any moral integrity?"
That woman, upon hearing herself being called a female bandit, was enraged. She stomped on a stone step and flew up with one foot. This kick had tremendous force. It directly sent Shang Wen flying. Shang Wen flew straight towards the ground. His head crashed onto the surface. Stars filled the sky. Next came a punch to his eye. He didn't know anything anymore.
The next day. Shang Wen woke up with a headache. As soon as he saw the King of Qin sitting beside him, accompanied by Zhao Gao and that female bandit. Shang Wen immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, she is a... bandit." The last two words were extremely soft, because Shang Wen saw that the female bandit was staring at him with her big eyes, her pale face flushing red with anger, looking very beautiful.
"Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you. This is my eldest daughter. Yu'er, come and apologize to the sir. Quickly." Qin Wang said with a loving scold. The female bandit, who was actually Ying Yu, obviously didn't want to. She said: "Who made Father angry? You coughed up blood last night, I just couldn't bear it, so I came to take revenge for Father." Ying Yu said with a hint of grievance.
Shang Wen heard that Qin Wang spit blood after yesterday's military strategy meeting. He knew Qin Wang was definitely furious, but didn't expect it to be so severe. So he immediately got out of bed and knelt down to apologize, but his head seemed to have been injured. The pain was extremely intense. Before he could get up, he was caught by Qin Wang.
"Serves them right", said with a tone of schadenfreude.
Yu'er," said the King of Qin angrily.
"Out!" Qin Wang shouted. Ying Yu was a bit reluctant, and Zhao Gao pulled him out.
"Sorry to have troubled you, sir." King Qin said with great respect.
"It's what I should have done." Shang Wen could only say that now, the fight was over. The father and daughter duo had one white face and one black face. They admitted defeat.
"May I ask, sir, if you have a good plan." Shang Wen was somewhat stunned by this sudden question. He immediately understood that this was Qin Wang realizing his mistake and now unable to change it.
"Shang Wen only has four words." Shang Wen said. Now we must lure the King of Qin into taking the bait, otherwise if we take out everything at once, we will be on the defensive.
Those four words. The King of Qin said with a bow.
"Mercantilism", Shang Wen said.
"Mercantilism" Qin Wang thought.
"Only by opening up commerce can we get out of trouble. This is the only way to have broader development. Sweeping away the six unions is not a problem. The world is not a problem." Shang Wen said.
"It's not a problem. The world." Qin Wang said.
"Yes. It's not a problem, and neither is the world." Shang Wen emphasized.
"This world includes Qin State, the six states, and many unknown places, Xiongnu, Baiyue, and many more. Some are still savages, some have the same civilization as Great Qin. In such a world, Great Qin will be at the forefront. It is the world, it is all the strongest." Shang Yang said.
The King of Qin looked at Shang Yang, obviously attracted by this topic. The strong of the world.
"How can we do that?" King Qin asked.
"It's very simple, it's to encourage business development, the country reforms its tax system, no longer using grain as a standard for taxation, but instead uses currency. The country controls the currency and issues currency."
"There are two types of businesses, one is peddling and the other is shopkeeping. Encouraging those workshop owners to attract rural labor force, so that there will be not many labor forces left in the countryside." said Shang Wen.
"This is not..." Qin Wang said hastily.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as land buying and selling is allowed, there will definitely be people who will buy it on a large scale. With the land, the country can then implement a policy of mandatory annual harvests. Otherwise, the land will be taken back without compensation and resold. At the same time, the country will buy back grain. This way, those who bought the land will have to think of ways to increase production. The excess population will flood into cities, and the country just needs to arrange employment for these people." Shang Wen said confidently.
"What about employment and love?" King Qin asked.
"There are many professions. Now is the Warring States period, six countries are in turmoil. For example, iron smelting can be expanded. This requires a lot of people, as well as forging weapons, manufacturing clothing and so on. The country's role is to guide, if possible, the country can invest or form joint ventures. In short, there are many such methods." said Shang Wen.
"So then repairing water conservancy and building roads can be done." Qin Wang asked. Apparently, the King of Qin had already understood the reasoning behind it.
"It's possible, Your Majesty can not only repair and build roads, but also collect taxes from commerce. If necessary, there can even be profit sharing. Moreover, as long as Your Majesty instigates the six eastern nations to war, they will fight incessantly. When that happens, they'll need weapons, food, clothing, etc. Our Great Qin can manufacture these things and sell them. This is a most profitable business!"
Shang Wen said.
