It means that nine-tenths of the profit income has to be treated as profit tax.

Moreover, in addition to high taxes, merchants are not allowed to wear luxurious clothes, and their houses are not allowed to be prominent. Sometimes even food and drink are restricted.

Therefore, under the heavy pressure, the merchants of Daqin were a little hard to move, and they were very rigid.

After all, you are suppressed in this way, you either earn little money and it is difficult to make money, or you cannot spend the money you earn casually and are restricted everywhere, so are you still in business or not?

I definitely don't think much about it...

Therefore, the entire Great Qin, even the commerce under the city of Xianyang, is not considered developed.

Moreover, a large part of them are Daqin's "manpower trading market".

In other words, a place where slaves were resold and traded.

Some slaves are older, or in other words, thin and unsuitable for work, so what to do, they will naturally be sold out.

If you can't sell it, you will basically be exhausted or starved to death when you go back.

Daqin has regulations for killing slaves and breaking the law, but at the same time, there are also slaves who are disrespectful and guilty, and the master has the right to sanction and kill.

Therefore, for the nobles of the gentry, if they want to kill slaves, they have to find a reason and find two slaves as witnesses, which is basically over.

In addition, there are dead bond servants, these people are absolute property, and basically cannot be traded for a lifetime.

For these people, the master can control their life and death at will.

When he came to the slave trading market, Feng Zheng looked at it all the time.

Those who can be sold here, except for some young and middle-aged people with relatively high prices, most of the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.

They can't do work, and they have to spend a lot of coarse food and grains to live, so these masters naturally don't like them very much.

Seeing these people one by one, some eyes were blank, and they looked at the people who came and went with pleading faces, as if they wanted to beg, and the other party bought themselves.

They naturally also understand that if they can't be bought all the time, they probably will starve to death or be beaten to death sooner or later when they go back.

After all, in Daqin, the life of a servant cannot be regarded as a complete life.

Looking at these people, Feng Zheng also felt some compassion in his heart.

However, the flood of compassion will only be harmful, not beneficial.

People, if they don't have the ability to reach the sky, can't go against the current.

Chapter 28

Feng Zheng thought that he might not be a hero who could change everything.

Therefore, he still can't change the matter of completely fighting against this era.

If you want to change, you have to have real power.

Otherwise, if you help all the slaves out of trouble, wouldn't that touch the interests of all the powerful and powerful in the Great Qin Dynasty?

Can it work?

Of course not!

At least not yet...

but……

In the end, Feng Zheng really picked a lot of poor old, weak, sick, thin women and children.

Of course, there are also a few who are a little bit stronger.

In total, it cost him nearly a thousand Qin and a half taels.

In Daqin, the thinner a servant is, the less valuable it is. Sometimes, even a sheep can be exchanged for three or five slaves, which is such an exaggeration.

And these people, after being bought by Feng Zheng, were also full of surprises one by one.

Not only them, but even the sellers were overjoyed when they saw it.

This kid doesn't know how to do it at all. If you buy servants and those who can't do vigorous work, isn't it a waste of money?

Buy for nothing?

Of course not, Feng Zheng not only didn't buy it for nothing, but did it deliberately.

What he needs is not how awesome these servants are, but that it is enough for these servants to be loyal to him.

Do a group of servants still think about making them have great abilities?

Of course not!

It is good to be able to do some work, and more importantly, to be reliable and loyal.

"From now on, you are my servants."

Feng Zheng looked at these people and said softly, "Most of you are emaciated, and you must have suffered badly before, but I don't dislike it.

I don't care what happened to you before.Now, what I'm telling you is that I will not abuse you, and I will definitely not starve you!but……"

As he said that, Feng Zheng changed his voice, "I need you all to be loyal to me, if anyone is unfaithful to me, no matter how strong he is or how hard he works, I still won't spare his life!

And if he is loyal to me, I will naturally give him a job and give him a bowl of food. My principles are as simple as that, do you understand? "

"Understood, thank you master, thank you master!"

After hearing this, the servants knelt down one after another, grateful.

They are already very grateful that Feng Zheng can buy these thin people and is willing to give them food.

After all, most people in this world simply disdain to use them, let alone care about their life or death.

"Okay, now, I'll give you some jobs..."

Immediately, Feng Zheng began to direct everyone.

First of all, some people go shopping and some people clean up.

Then, Feng Zheng let these people live in this garden temporarily.

As for himself, when it was almost night, he returned to Feng's residence.

"Feng Zheng, pay homage to my uncle."

As soon as he returned to Feng's residence, Feng Zheng was called by Feng Quji.

"Well, are you back?"

Feng Quji glanced at Feng Zheng, chuckled, and then said lightly, "I never thought that His Majesty would take you to court today?"

did not expect?

Feng Zhengxin said, I didn't expect it either.

"Your Majesty said, let me serve you."

Feng Zheng replied, "Of course Feng Zheng dare not disobey."

"Well, His Majesty can value you, that's great..."

Feng Quji laughed and nodded.

But the eyes are complicated.

"Hey, today, did you mention your two cousins ​​to His Majesty?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help asking again.

carry?

Tinima mention!

Feng Zhengxin said, two useless people, carry a hammer?

"Tell my aunt..."

Feng Zheng said, "Your Majesty never asked about my two cousins ​​today, so he never mentioned..."

"He doesn't ask, you can tell!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou said dissatisfiedly, "I think you are afraid that your two cousins ​​will take away your wealth, right? Your wealth should belong to them!"

"..."

I belong to Nima!

After hearing this, Feng Zheng said to himself, why don't you take a piss and let your two sons take pictures, they have this ability, can they be appreciated by Qin Shihuang?

"All right!"

Feng Quji glared at Mrs. Zhou, "What nonsense, Feng Zheng is like my own son to me! I can't say this again in the future!"

"I... hum..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to shut up.

"Hehe, your aunt is always used to joking."

Feng Quji laughed and said to Feng Zheng, "Don't mind..."

As he said that, Feng Quji's eyes flashed, and he continued to ask, "Today, what is your Majesty doing to make things difficult for you?"

He did so, of course he asked on purpose.

I want to use this to ask, what is Qin Shihuang doing today.

"Uncle, Your Majesty did ask me a lot of questions today..."

Feng Zheng blinked and said, "It seems that His Majesty wants to attack the Huns."

what?

Send troops to the Huns?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Feng Quji was shocked for a moment!

Send troops to the Huns?

Is this time?

hiss...

This is really strange. Could it be that I mentioned it today, saying that the 30 army and labor prisoners in northern Xinjiang are too expensive, so His Majesty wants to cut through the mess quickly and solve the Xiongnu?

But, is this too difficult?

"Oh, yes!"

As Feng Zheng said, he slapped his thigh intentionally, "I forgot what my aunt told me! Tomorrow, I will tell His Majesty that I will recommend my cousins, Feng Kai and Feng Bi, to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit." , to help His Majesty make suggestions, so His Majesty will definitely like them!"

uh... uh?

What?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Feng Quji's face turned dark immediately.

let them?

Let them advise Qin Shihuang in this regard?

"Oh, good!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed, "Then tomorrow, let Your Majesty..."

"Screw it!"

Feng Quji couldn't help scolding, "They don't know this, isn't it for nothing? What if His Majesty is unhappy? Are you a pig, dare to let your son disturb His Majesty's interest? You know what? Shit!"

Chapter 29 If You're Feeling Better, I'll Be Harder

"I……"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale.

It seems that this is really the case...

"Ah this..."

After hearing this, Feng Zheng asked deliberately, "Then, when should I recommend the talents of my two brothers to Your Majesty?"
