The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 1677: Twenty representatives

"Buzzing." The sound of the airship's engine rang over Daliang City. An armed airship of the State of Qin flew under Daliang City. The Wei people in Daliang City gathered one after another. They don't know what this heavenly thing is? Some people who didn't know why they saw it immediately bowed down. They think this is the gods in the sky descending from the earth.

"Look at it. What's that?" Some of the more courageous Wei people raised their heads to look at the airship in the sky and said.

"I don't know." Many Wei people don't know what this is. They have never seen the airship.

"Oh. This is an airship. Qin State can fly this thing into the sky. Look. Doesn't it have Qin State's flag?" A Wei State businessman with extensive knowledge stood up and said at this time. He has been to Xianyang, Qin State, and has seen such an airship. At first, he didn't know what it was. His feet were trembling too, but then he learned that this thing was called an airship. It can also carry people flying on it. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that what's in front of you is really happening.

"We have reached the sky above Daliang City." The navigator looked at the compass and the map, and then judged based on the topography below.

"Put the leaflet down." The captain shouted.

"Drop it," a pilot shouted loudly.

"Wow." The bomb drop hatch opened. Then a lot of leaflets were thrown down. The single propaganda spread out.

"Look. There are many pieces of paper scattered on it." Wei Guoren looked up at the leaflet scattered in the sky and shouted loudly. Others swiftly followed the paper and ran. Especially some children are also chasing after.

"What is written on it?" Some Wei people quickly picked up some leaflets and showed them to those who could understand them to ask about the situation.

"Let me see." A businessman said after taking the leaflet.

"Quickly talk about it." Others asked one after another.

"Oh. Let me talk about it." The businessman said after reading the leaflet.

"This was issued by the Prime Minister of Qin. It said. Qin sent troops this time to clear the illegal roadblocks set up by Wei on the road. There were no other military actions." The businessman said.

"The above also said. The taxes imposed by Wei are too high. Wang Wei is required to reduce taxes. Qin Guo has made great efforts in diplomacy. But it does not rule out the use of force to solve the problem. Qin also hopes that civilians will not participate in it. The main purpose of Qin's troops this time is to reduce taxes." The businessman gave the general meaning of the article. In fact, this leaflet speaks in the vernacular. It is very simple to understand.

"What do you mean?" Wei Guoren asked after listening.

"It means. The people of Qin are going to send troops. They are fighting Luca on the road. We have to argue with the king for our taxes." The merchant said.

"Is there such a good thing?" Wei Guoren heard the news. I can't believe this is true. They all suspect that the people of Qin must have lied to themselves.

"Wei's taxation is so good. Why should the people of Qin reduce the taxation for us lowly slaves." A man in rags shook his head and said.

"Maybe, the people of Qin are like this," said Wei, who read the leaflet.

"Qin is different from Wei. Qin has abolished slavery. Qin people are no longer slaves. But there are some other alien slaves outside." The merchant explained.

"Qin people did this, and they might really do it," said the businessman.

"Qin has already reduced a lot of taxes. The people of Qin over there live very well. They are much better than Wei. But here, Wei has very high taxes. Many people simply can't live, let alone buy anything. "The businessman said.

Hear these. The other members of the Wei state were envious. In their opinion, the people of Qin had a very good life.

"Hand in all. Hurry up, hurry up." Just as the merchants promoted the benefits of Qin, a group of Wei troops rushed to the streets. They snatched the leaflets spread by Qin State. Some soldiers also overthrew some Wei people in anger. Officials of Wei Guo found that the leaflet was not good for him, so he responded quickly, and a large number of soldiers rushed to the street to collect the leaflet.

"Take it out." A soldier of the Wei Army overthrew a woman. Then both hands kept taking advantage of each other. Another soldier snatched a vendor’s merchandise in the name of a search. The soldiers of the Wei army didn't care about this at all. They went to the streets to search the leaflets and they took the opportunity to blackmail ordinary people. It became an excuse for them to search propaganda SLRs.

It was Shangwen's idea to throw a leaflet at Daliang City, and Shangwen believed that by doing so, he could get the support of the ordinary people of Wei State. At the same time, Qin State became famous as a teacher. In this way, it can be advertised that Qin sent troops for justice.

Qin State Xianyang, in the prime minister's mansion. Meng Yi walked in with a large stack of telegrams.

"For telegrams sent from various states, some states agree to the federal system, and some states still have some opinions." Meng Yi handed the telegram to Shangwen.

"Oh. What are the opinions?" Shang Wen asked.

"It's not that some slightly wealthy states are a little dissatisfied, because some of the tax revenue is to be handed over to Guanzhong. It is handed over to the Federal Assembly for unified processing. They are afraid that their actual interests will be greatly lost. Therefore, they are very hesitant about the federal system. "Meng Yi said. But other states don't care about this anymore. Mainly the large and small Wangzhou on the Hexi Corridor. There are not many areas where they are rich, and they receive very little taxes. Therefore, after some congressmen have understood the federal system. I agreed. Although other lawmakers also objected, but helplessly, everyone's opinions tended to agree with the federal system.

"En." Shang Wen took the telegram and looked.

"It's right to have an opinion. If there is no opinion, there will be a problem. Qin wants to unify so many places, not to do this thing all at once." Shang Wen looked at the telegrams one by one. There is a lot of content on the telegram. Shangwen couldn't sort it out all of a sudden. Because there are a lot of details to be discussed, but each state has a lot of independence at the beginning. Such independence was suddenly recovered, and the states were naturally unwilling. This is still understandable. But after reading the telegram carefully. Shangwen feels that the main problem still lies in taxation.

The taxation of each state is different, such as the northern states, because of the existence of farms and ranches, their taxation is relatively stable, and if they agree to the federal system. They can get more taxes from other states. This is very beneficial to this state.

In the Western Regions, they are able to levy trade taxes. Their tax growth potential is very large. In the long run, if they implement the federal system, it will be very detrimental to them. Because they have a lot of taxes, if they submit the same part, they will lose a lot. They are not willing to suffer such a loss.

"These states. Most worry about their taxes. They don't want to see their own state taxes to help other states make a contribution." Shang Wen said.

"Yes. If it were me, I wouldn't do it either." Meng Yi continued.

"En." Shang Wen nodded with a gratitude.

"We have to think of a way." Shang Wen said.

"If this is the case, I think we can do this." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"The implementation of the federal system can first convene a federal conference. Let the representatives of various states gather together. Regarding the tax issue." Shang Wen said.

"Specific issues are analyzed in detail. For example, we separate the types of taxes. For example, tariffs. We can extract some of them and become all of Guanzhong, and the rest will become local taxes." Shang Wen thought about it.

"Other taxes. Some are collected. Some are not. In this way, local independence continues to play a role. At the same time, it also reduces the tax revenue of each state." Shang Wen said after thinking about it.

"Of course. The core problem is to allow each state to have a certain degree of independence. But at the same time it can bear the responsibilities of each state. After all, Qin is very big now, if everyone can't get together. I think the problem will be very big." Shang Wen said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded. For such thoughts. Meng Yi recognized. Think this is a solution. The local situation is different. Some states are very large, while others are small. There are also different economic entities developed in the state. The northern states mainly rely on agriculture and animal husbandry. The business development is not great. The states in the Western Regions are mainly trade taxes. The contribution of agriculture and animal husbandry is not great. There are also states in the Hexi Corridor. They have very few sources of income. It's almost the toll for several towns. After the toll is waived. In these states, income will decrease a lot. Become a veritable place of poverty. The opposition from these states is also loud. But if we treat it specifically, then this problem can be solved very well.

"Is the Federal Conference held as soon as possible?" Meng Yi asked.

"Yes. As soon as possible. It just takes a certain amount of time for the representatives of various states to gather here. It is now in June. Time." Meng Yi asked.

"The time must be as fast as possible. How about I think it's June 15th?" Shang Wen asked.

"State representatives come here. The finances can use a portion of the expenses to reimburse their travel expenses. It is best to convene this meeting as soon as possible. This meeting is of great significance. It is best to pass the federal system for this meeting." Shang Wen said.

"En. It's just that, are all states coming?" Meng Yi then asked.

"No. I think that each state should send some representatives." Shang Wen said, shaking his head.

"Representatives. The number of people varies from state to state." Meng Yi explained the specific situation.

"We currently have eight states. What do you think of twenty representatives from each state?" Shang Wen asked.

"One hundred and sixty, if you add a few counties in the Qin State." Meng Yi nodded and counted.

"I think so." Meng Yi said.
