Qin State Xianyang.

"Wang Shang has just returned, are you going to summon me?" Meng Yi asked the assistant beside him in confusion.

The assistant on the side didn't know what to say, he didn't know what it was.

"En. Let's go." Meng Yi couldn't figure out the reason for this. Then set off immediately.

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

"Tell me about the recent situation." After Meng Yi saluted, King Qin directly asked Meng Yi.

"The King." Meng Yi asked to give King Qin more rest. But seeing King Qin insisted repeatedly. Did not say anything.

"The current situation in Qin is not very optimistic. The problem of getting money is still bigger." Meng Yi said directly.

"Since the reform of Prime Minister Shang Wen. Qin's situation has become more and more complicated, but there are many benefits, and the territory of Qin's expansion is also much larger, and it suppresses each other everywhere. This is also a good place. But it is too dependent on money. .Qin country has to think about money everywhere." King Qin said.

"En. It's true." Meng Yi nodded.

"After the reform of Prime Minister Shang Wen. Qin's main pressure is on finances. The current situation is also a big financial problem, but compared with the previous Qin, the current situation is still more optimistic." Meng Yi said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"Qin can gather funds by issuing bonds. It can also obtain more resources by regulating other aspects. These are things that Qin could not think of before. Now Qin has done it. The significance is still great." Yi said.

"Moreover, Qin's current taxes are not very heavy. It can be said that it was the lightest time in Qin's history, and Qin's potential is huge." Meng Yi continued.

"It's true." King Qin nodded.

"Let's talk about the recent situation, then." King Qin nodded and acknowledged these. These are the status quo of Qin State after Shangwen's reform.

"Qin country currently wants to avoid war. Because of this, it will worsen Qin's financial situation and reduce Qin's tax revenue. The main reason is that some enterprises are under-operated. There are many reasons for the under-operating of Qin's enterprises. These are to There is no unified and clear statement now." Meng Yi said.

"For the war in the north, the method you handed over is very good. However, you should also consider the military's opinions." King Qin said.

"This minister understands. But there is a big problem behind the war in the north." Meng Yi said.

"For example, this time, if Qin's military wants to control the situation, it must mobilize mobile units. However, Qin currently has a vast territory and a tense force. By the time the mobile units arrive, the situation has changed a lot." Meng Yi said. .

"Moreover, if war breaks out, Qin will increase military expenditures. This is extremely detrimental to Qin's finances." Meng Yi said.

"So, did you think of that way?" King Qin asked.

"Yes, my lord, this method can indeed solve the current problems of Qin State." Meng Yi said.

"Qin's army already has a very strong deterrent. Defense is already possible. But if you continue to use troops, it will be very uneconomical." Meng Yi said.

"The cost of Qin's current use of troops is too high." Meng Yi said.

"Continuous strikes will increase the cost of using troops and increase financial strength. At present, the Huns, as well as neighboring countries and tribes, are unable to fight against the Qin army on a large scale. They mainly harass the Qin army on a small scale. It is not a big threat. But if the Qin army continues to fight like this, it will consume the strength of Qin State. This is very unfavorable to Qin State." Meng Yi said.

"Yes. This is indeed detrimental to the State of Qin, and Meng Tian also analyzed the rationale, but if the State of Qin is reduced to zero, the Qin army will not be attacked enough, and it is of little significance. The most important thing is that it will be difficult to maintain for a long time. The increase in military expenditures How much hasn't been calculated yet." King Qin had obviously been arguing.

"So, Chen believes that this kind of difficult bones should be handed over to the merchants. They can solve this problem well, and they can also increase Qin’s fiscal revenue. The most important thing is that the merchants can properly solve all the problems. Therefore, Chen believed that the next step should be merchants, especially border merchants, in order to form a commercial monopoly. In this way, the Qin State can not only control, suppress, and kill these foreign tribes from the outside. Internally, it can be done. Generate a lot of taxes." Meng Yi said.

"The most important thing is that the State of Qin can further promote the products of Guanzhong area to these areas. In this way, the start of Guanzhong enterprises will be very large." Meng Yi said.

"En." King Qin nodded. Think this is a good idea.

"But doing so will touch the military?" King Qin said. In fact, King Qin asked this question himself. After all, after merchants master military power, the meaning is different. And it's still outside, and it's very complicated to control. This one requires more energy.

"My lord, the minister thinks that this is not a problem. The merchants control the armed forces and are just a kind of reserve force of the Qin State. After all, it is only the militia of the Qin State, and their armed forces are very limited. Moreover, the military expenses are provided by themselves. This will require very high financial resources for them. Without such large financial resources, it would be difficult to support such a large number of troops." Meng Yi said.

"Their enemies are some Huns nomadic tribes, the northwest and southwest defense lines are all in this situation, and merchants have a lot of flexibility, if they can attack, they can trade, and they can’t trade. Get together. If they can get land, Qin can buy from it and weaken their control of the land by purchasing. Qin Jun is their most important support. Without the support of Qin Jun, it would be difficult for them to have a lot of money. This is very clear.” Meng Yi said.

"En. But the businessman has the armed forces, what if he attacks the State of Qin instead?" King Qin directly asked such a question.

"Qin's military power can suppress the merchants' armed forces." Meng Yi replied.

"What should I do if I can't suppress it?" King Qin asked directly.

"This." Meng Yi couldn't answer.

"The merchants are very well armed. But if Qin can't control it, it will hardly become a major disaster, and the border will become violent again. This is even more detrimental to Qin." King Qin said.

"However, the minister believes that this matter is of great significance to Qin State. This is of great significance." Meng Yi said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"Just because this matter is very big. The widow decided to find Prime Minister Shang Wen. Let Prime Minister Shang Wen solve this matter." King Qin said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.
