"Look at this, and the idea is the same." Meng Yi called the ministers of several major departments to pass this telegram to everyone to read. Everyone looked at the telegram.

"At present, the Qin military needs to wait for the arrival of reinforcements to allow these northern nomadic tribes to enter the territory of Qin. Now, the Huns have already fought with each other once. The other party must be extremely nervous, and we cannot allow the other party to enter. We have to do our own thing. Consider the territory." Meng Yi said.

"At the beginning, I put forward a view. This view is that the borders of the Qin State are under the management of the Qin army. The borders are accidentally owned by merchants, allowing merchants to have armed rights. This way merchants can expand trade well and protect themselves better. Security." Meng Yi said as he walked back and forth.

"The most important thing is that the State of Qin does not need to increase military expenditure. The financial aspect will reduce a lot of pressure." Meng Yi said.

"En." The Minister of Finance first nodded, for this plan. The Minister of Finance agreed, after all, the current financial pressure of Qin State is very high. If this matter is in accordance with the military's intentions, it is even negotiated with Qin's Prime Minister's Office. It also requires a lot of military expenditure to go on.

"That's true. Even if we allow the northern nomadic tribes to come in, the resettlement costs and other costs will need to be paid from the financial side. The most important thing is that the situation is now developing into an uncontrollable situation. Qin State They don’t want to fight, especially financial. They don’t want to fight a war. But now the Huns are fighting with the northern nomadic tribes, our Qin army has also provided fire support. This is obviously the attitude of the Qin State to support. In this way, the Huns are fighting. People will definitely retaliate." The Minister of Finance said.

"Are we still afraid of them? They are just our defeated men." A security consultant said excitedly.

"The problem is that we are not afraid of them. We are afraid that they will continue to be consumed like this. We must strengthen our guard against their frequent attacks. Military expenditures will definitely increase. If time goes on, we will not be able to stand it as a whole." said the Minister of Finance.

"Originally, we left some funds for infrastructure construction to stimulate our economy. There are still many places to spend money. If all the money is spent on military expenses, then Qin's finances will definitely deteriorate. We are not afraid of the northern nomadic tribes and the Huns. Harassment, we are afraid of killing them. They drag us together and wait for Qin State to pass this time. After Qin State has enough money, he can quickly gather forces to solve them completely. Now, it is not the time. "The Minister of Finance said.

"That's right." Meng Yi nodded and said.

"We need the military as a whole to make a defensive posture, but passive defense is too weak. The northern nomadic tribes may go south at any time. Such harassment poses a great threat to us. Although we start with them Trade. Use all kinds of materials to make up for their resources. But don’t forget. We have been making money from these people, and they will definitely be dissatisfied with us. Therefore, we need to draw on a team from the other side and tribal forces to contain them. This kind of containment and warfare can greatly reduce our military expenditure and form a great advantage for our defense. These merchants can not only get enough benefits, and most importantly, we have unexpectedly A reliable defensive alert area was created. In this way, Qin's military expenditure can be further reduced. Qin's finances can quickly pass this time. This is very important for Qin." Meng Yi said.

"En. What the prime minister said is reasonable. However, on the military side, they may not agree to our request. By doing so, we are seizing power. Our civilian officials have started an unprecedented contradiction with the military on the issue of military expenditures. If such a plan is proposed at this time, I am afraid. The entire Qin military will gather at the entrance of the Prime Minister’s Mansion to beat us. At that time, we will not be able to beat the soldiers with thick arms and legs." The Minister of Economy said embarrassingly.

"En." Meng Yi just smiled. This is indeed the truth. There is a great contradiction between the military and the civil officials of the Qin State. This contradiction still exists happily for a period of time after Shang Wen came to power, but after cutting military expenditures, this situation in Qin State began to intensify. Up to now, the two are at war on the issue of military expenditures. If it weren't for King Qin's powerful mediation in the middle, I am afraid that the two would openly fight.

"I know the consequences of doing this. However, doing so is the most beneficial to Qin. When we started trading with border states around Qin, we had this idea. Because the surrounding situation is extremely complicated. , We know very little, only these merchants are willing to do it, we cannot provide a larger scale of military expenditure to support the military to do so. Therefore, we can only rely on the power of the merchants. The power of the merchants can be controlled. Can play Very autonomous. Therefore, I decided that in this matter, I want to take such measures, whether the military opposes or agrees, merchants must continue to arm themselves. Merchants develop into armed merchant groups. We. They shouldn't be opposed, they should be supported. Because it is the most beneficial to Qin State." Meng Yi said.

Having said that, the Minister of Finance supports it, the Minister of Economy is worried, and the Minister of Transportation does not know what to do. Because the civilian officials present know what kind of situation they will face, and their opponent is the military. The military will definitely exert greater pressure. This is seizing power, seizing power of the military. This is unbelievable. And there is great uncertainty. The most difficult thing is that the contradiction between Qin's civil officials and the military will rise to a whole new level. The military's powerful weapon in attacking the civilian group is military expenditure. They will use the name of war to provide military expenditure, while civilian officials are in charge of military expenditure. The contradiction between the two sides revolved around military spending.

Nowadays, civilian officials are taking a powerful counterattack. In the name of reducing military expenditures, they want to give merchants greater convenience in arming, and even divide the military border between the two sides. Once this happens. Qin will start more competitions on the focus of military spending. And behind this will also touch the interests of King Qin. The three have formed a delicate relationship with each other. At the same time there is full of contradictions. And this is something Qin has never encountered before. This is a brand new challenge for Qin. And Meng Yi thinks there is no need to consider so much. He only wants to cut military expenditures now, and cannot increase military expenditures any more.
