The Qin Army is different from the Six Nations Army. The Qin Army has carried out military reforms, once the war broke out, military expenditures would increase without limits. In order to win the war, any government that serves as prime minister will unconditionally provide the conveniences it can provide.

Therefore, the instinctive reaction of the Qin army when encountering such an event is to amplify the matter without restriction. As long as there is a huge military threat from the external environment of Qin, the war can begin again. Military expenditure will increase. The military's response to this incident was very quick. It was quickly reported to the Prime Minister's Mansion in just one day, and the military should be wary of this matter.

"Humph." Meng Yi snorted while holding the telegram in his hand.

"The military's telegram?" The Minister of Finance just submitted a budget and asked when he saw the military's special telegram paper.

"Yes." Meng Yi handed the telegram to the Minister of Finance as he said.

"Let's take a look. If this is agreed, our military expenditure will increase again." Meng Yi said.

"En." The Minister of Finance looked at the telegram. This is what happened in one day.

"Our caravan was attacked. This is indeed abrupt." The Minister of Finance said.

"But if this problem is not resolved, the safety of our caravan cannot be guaranteed. Such frequent attacks will make it difficult for our trade to start. This is indeed a big problem, Prime Minister." The Minister of Finance said his views. .

"Yes, it is indeed a big problem. The military's attitude is very clear." Meng Yi said.

"But, if this problem is magnified, think about it. What kind of consequences will it cause? We finally reduced the military's military spending this quarter. If they rush to war, they will quickly increase military spending. , Qin's finances will quickly become tight." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"En. At present, the signs of the decline of Qin's economic vitality are already obvious. If there is war at this time." The Finance Minister felt very bad.

"I'm afraid, we won't have to amend the tax law and enter the middle tax era ahead of schedule." The Minister of Finance said worriedly.

"Yes." Meng Yi said.

"The issuance of bonds has become tense. Qin's debt problem has not been completely resolved. If war breaks out at this time, Qin's finances will be extremely tight, which is too passive for us." Meng Yi Said.

"But the security issue must be resolved," the Minister of Finance said.

"This matter cannot be resolved by the military. Letting them resolve this matter will cost a lot of financial expenditure." Meng Yi said with a smile. Qin's military expenditures were high for a time, and military expenditures once stimulated Qin's economic growth, but now, military expenditures have become Qin's financial problems. Those departments of the Qin government that control fiscal expenditures can’t wait to start a war on this issue. What the Qin government considers is to spend more funds on infrastructure, because Qin needs to regain control of several neighboring states, but The military needs a large amount of military expenditure to stabilize the surrounding defense and security issues. On the issue of how to spend, the civilian group that controls fiscal expenditure is obviously more advantageous than the generals of the military.

On the issue of financial expenditure and military expenditure, Qin's civil official group and military generals have certain contradictions. And there is no effective solution to this contradiction. On the contrary, the two sides continue to expand on this issue.

"The telegram from the State of Chu in the south is here. The navy of the State of Chu simply ignores our conditions. It seems that we have to think of another way. If this problem cannot be resolved quickly, it will be detrimental to us. The economy as a whole China is in a state of decline. If this decline cannot be prevented, we should step down.” Meng Yi said.

"I don't know Prime Minister Shang Wen. What are you doing now? If he is there, Qin will solve these problems." Meng Yi said.

At this time, Shang Wen was looking at a newspaper, which came from many sources. Shang Wen finally got this newspaper, but the newspaper that Shang Wen read was particularly tired.

This is a scrap newspaper, but the date is relatively new. This newspaper seems to be pieced together. The use of newspapers by Qi people can be said to be maximized. They use waste newspapers to wrap food, meat, and cakes. The used newspapers will be used again as toilet paper. Shangwen's newspaper has been used as toilet paper. Because it has been divided into many pieces. Then the rubbing was broken, but Shangwen hadn't read the newspaper for a long time. In order to be able to get outside news. Shang Wen could only piece together the newspaper piece by piece, and then read it again. Although it is troublesome to do so, Shang Wen thinks it's okay, after all, you can see news that Shang Wen doesn't know.

"It seems that Qin's situation is not very good." Shang Wen drew his own conclusion from the content of the newspaper.

"Why crawl on the ground?" Mo Li said when he came in and looked at Shang Wen who was crawling on the ground.

"Oh. Read the newspaper." Shang Wen did not answer.

"I want to know some outside news. These newspapers can tell me some information." Shang Wen said.

"Oh." Mo Li looked at this weird man curiously.

"What can you see?" Mo Li then asked.

"En. Our state of Qin is in a bad situation. The economy is in a downward trend," Shang Wen said.

"The reported data shows that Qin's growth in this quarter is lower than the previous quarter. This is already a decline in two quarters." Shang Wen said.

"However, Qin's economy is still relatively good overall. But some problems make us very worried." Shang Wen said, shaking his head.

Mo Li did not continue to look at Shang Wen.

"This country of Chu. It levies such a high tax. It's horrible." Shang Wen saw a report saying that Chu aristocrats increased their taxes along the Yangtze River. As a result, the price of raw materials imported by Qin has risen rapidly.

"This is a disguised trade tariff barrier." Shang Wen thinks this matter is very tricky. Because trade tariff barriers are twofold. On the one hand, you can increase your country’s income. But at the same time, it will also bring about another impact, that is, affecting other countries. However, with the development of the market and the close integration of the two sides, high trade tariffs will also affect each other. But this increase in trade tariffs is not a good thing for both parties.

"If this continues, Qin's economic decline will become more and more serious." Shang Wen said solemnly.

"Not good. Not good." Shang Wen shook his head.

"What's wrong," Mo Li said, approaching Shangwen.

"Qin's economy is under too much downward pressure." Shang Wen said.

"Meng Yi's pressure is too much. Too much." Shang Wen said.
