Chapter 115 The Qin Navy is ready to go!
The old man's hair is already gray, but his posture is still as straight as a pine tree, and his eyes are deep, as if he can see through everything in the world.

He had a calm face and was intimidating without being angry. Even in a bustling market, he remained calm and composed.

The young man is tall and strong, with a noble bearing.

He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a handsome face, red lips and white teeth. Although he is young, he already shows a heroic spirit.

He stood beside the old man, his eyes determined and his expression stern, as if he had already gained a maturity and stability beyond his age!
The old man and the young man are uncle and nephew, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu!!!
……

At the same time, in the city.

Li Si stood respectfully in front of Ye Chi and told him about the enthusiastic response of merchants and people in Xianyang City to the money house policy.

Li Si said: "Lord Ye, the people in Xianyang are talking about it and have great expectations for the policy of money houses. Merchants are eager to take advantage of this opportunity to expand trade routes and prosper the market."

Ye Chi heard this and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He said slowly: "Then Prime Minister, please hurry up. This matter concerns the national plan and cannot be sloppy."

Li Si bowed deeply and said, "I understand the importance of money houses and will do my best to live up to your majesty's high expectations."

After saying this, Li Si bowed and took his leave, walking away with firm steps.

He knew very well that this new policy was of great significance to the future of Qin, and he had to act cautiously to ensure that everything went smoothly.

Ye Chi looked at Li Si's departing back, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

……

There was a dilapidated courtyard outside the city, with weeds growing among the broken walls. Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu stood in it. Their shadows were stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if foreshadowing the long night that was to come.

Xiang Yu frowned, and said with a little anxiety: "Uncle, this policy of the bank is actually a cunning scheme of the Qin thieves, intended to buy the hearts of the people. If this continues, the hearts of the people will inevitably turn to Qin, which is extremely detrimental to our anti-Qin cause!"

Xiang Liang stroked his beard, his eyes deep, and said in a deep voice: "Yu'er is right."

"The policy of the money houses is actually a means for the Qin court to consolidate its rule, but how can the warriors of our Chu land be discouraged by this?"

"I intend to return to Chu, recruit my old subordinates, and wait for an opportunity to rebel against Qin!!"

Xiang Yu heard this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, he clenched his fists and said: "Uncle, what you said is very true! Grandfather once said that even if there are only three households left in Chu, Chu will be the one to destroy Qin!"

"We must act quickly to revive the glory of our Chu State!"

The uncle and nephew smiled at each other, their eyes revealing their determination and persistence in the anti-Qin cause.

They knew that the road ahead was long and full of difficulties, but for the revival of the Chu State and for the people of the world, they had no hesitation and moved forward courageously! !
As the sun sets in the west, the city of Xianyang is bustling with activity.

Recently, a new money house appeared in the city. The tall and magnificent building stood in a prosperous area of ​​the market, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

In front of the village gate, people came and went in an endless stream.

Some hold heavy wallets, while others hold hopes and expectations for their future lives.

They were either whispering to each other or showing joy as they discussed this new money house.

"I heard that this bank is a safe place to deposit money and you can earn interest." An old man stroked his beard and nodded in praise.

A young man next to him said, "Not only that, I also heard that merchants can get loans from here to solve their capital turnover problems."

Inside the bank, the sounds of abacus and coins were heard. The shopkeeper was very busy, but he remained calm and composed.

"Boss, I want to deposit some money." A middle-aged man handed over a bag of coins.

The shopkeeper smiled and responded: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I will process it for you right away."

In another corner, a man who looked like a merchant was discussing loan matters with a bank clerk.

"If this deal of mine is successful, I will definitely make a lot of money, but I'm having a cash flow problem right now." The merchant looked embarrassed.

The clerk smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. Our bank was established to solve problems like this. As long as you have enough credit and collateral, it's not difficult to get a loan."

The merchant was delighted when he heard this: "That's great, I'll go and prepare the necessary materials right away."

The money shop was bustling with people, but everything was orderly.

Everyone comes with expectations and leaves with satisfaction.

This new money house not only brought convenience to the people, but also made the market in Xianyang even more lively!
At this moment, Li Si and Ye Chi stood side by side near the money house, gazing at the new building with deep eyes.

Li Si's face showed a bit of excitement, but also a subtle worry.

"Master Ye, this method is indeed brilliant. It can stimulate the vitality of merchants and promote the prosperity of the market." Li Si said in a deep voice, with a bit of approval in his tone, "However, I don't understand one thing. What if the merchants cannot repay the loans after taking them out?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chi smiled slightly, his smile revealing calmness and wisdom.

"I have already thought about this matter carefully. When merchants apply for loans, they must use valuables as collateral, and the amount of the loan is far lower than the actual value of the collateral. In this way, even if a merchant cannot repay the loan, the court has the right to take the collateral to make up for the loss."

After hearing this, Li Si's eyes sparkled. He clapped his hands and praised, "Excellent! Lord Ye has indeed thought it through. This method can not only stimulate market vitality, but also ensure that the interests of the court are not harmed. I admire you, I admire you!"

Ye Chi waved his hand modestly: "Prime Minister, you are too kind. This method can be implemented thanks to your support and assistance."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts full of expectations for the future.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, their figures appear particularly determined.

Just as Li Si and Ye Chi were talking outside the money house, a eunuch hurried over and conveyed the summons from Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.

"His Majesty summons Lords Ye Chi and Li Si to come to the Zhangtai Palace for an audience immediately!" The eunuch's shrill voice echoed in the night.

The two did not dare to delay and immediately followed the eunuch to Zhangtai Palace.

The palace was brightly lit, and Ying Zheng sat on the imperial couch, majestic and solemn.

"Ye Chi, how is the progress of building the navy?" Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice, his eyes sharp.

Ye Chi bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, the navy construction is going smoothly. We have recruited more than 100,000 people. The large ships are being built in full swing. It is expected to be completed in about two months, and then we can start training!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Okay! I have full confidence in your ability."

"Once the navy is built, the territory of our Great Qin will be even more vast!!"

Li Si also bowed and congratulated: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Lord Ye's preparations for the construction are progressing at a rapid pace, which is a blessing for our Great Qin!"
