"Qin's current primary goal is still to open up the market. Only by expanding greater demand can Qin's industrial and commercial enterprises survive. A series of political, military, diplomatic and other means developed around this goal must be carried out with such a goal. "Shangwen introduced.

Wei Liao nodded aside, to Shang Wen's core goal. Wei Liao agreed. What are the interests of Qin State at present are the interests of industrial and commercial enterprises. Industrial and commercial enterprises can bring a lot of taxes to the State of Qin, and at the same time can develop and provide various resources that can be used. The reason for the prosperity of Qin State may lie in them, but at present, the demand is sluggish. Qin's goods cannot be sold. Can't consume. The profitability of industrial and commercial enterprises declines, and the government's financial situation will deteriorate. Today affects all aspects of Qin. The most obvious place is the military, where military expenditures have been cut again and again. This makes the military very annoyed.

"Around this goal. We have to make a series of political adjustments." Shang Wen said.

"The first thing to do is to have democracy. We must have our own slogan. Democracy is mainly to make the people who are still in slavery become ordinary people and have rights. And to adopt a series of stubborn nobles. Whether it’s military strikes, economic sanctions, or other means. Anyway, what we have to do is to divide and disintegrate the existing political systems and political forces of various countries. For example, the issue of Wei State, Wei State In the important strategic position of east and west, north and south, the problem of Wei is not well resolved, which has a lot to do with the construction of railways in the future and the expansion of market demand. My idea is this." Shang Wen stood up and walked back and forth. The circulation of blood in the legs is a great help for thinking. In many cases, Shangwen thinks about problems under such circumstances and comes up with good ideas.

"My thinking is this. First of all, we have a great influence on Zhao and South Korea politically. The use of the parliamentary system is a kind of democratic influence. While the status of businessmen of the two countries is further improved, it is also for us. The influence of democracy. In this way, a brand-new force exists between the two countries, and the existence of such a new force is one of the effective ways that Qin may merge through federalism in the future." Shang Wen said to everyone.

Wei Liao smiled slightly at this moment. Because of the implementation of the federal system, Wei Liao agreed, but Wei Liao was the first to see the power of Shang Wen's move. The federal system and a series of continuous and effective economic cooperation can completely melt the fuzzy concept of the state among the people of Zhao, and the implementation of the federal system. Zhao State may become a state of Qin State to join in. This is a great thing for Qin State. Although the use of force can quickly pancake Zhao State, there are still a series of sequelae. Zhao State’s national consciousness still exists. It may take a war to get rid of this consciousness, or it may take a long time. There are too many accidents in the middle. King Qin didn't want to see surprises. Although Shangwen's method took a little longer, it could eliminate this national consciousness, because the federation still preserves this relative independence, but on the whole, in terms of the cohesion of the country as a whole, the Qin State was finally unified. Therefore, Wei Liao very much agrees with the federal system. Strongly support the implementation of federalism.

"Zhao, South Korea, and Qin can form an alliance, a political alliance, a military alliance, an economic alliance, through a step-by-step alliance, to achieve our goals." Shang Wen said.

"In addition, for other countries, such as Yan, Qi, and Chu, we can adopt a transformation method to spread. They must implement a parliamentary system and have access to all slave relations. Reduce tariffs, various domestic taxes, and so on. We can cooperate further. We can provide loans, invest in the construction of some industrial and commercial enterprises, or joint banks, etc. However, the implementation of the previous system is a prerequisite for our cooperation. Without this condition, Qin will unite Other allies take other means to strike, encircle and suppress. Force them to adopt such a system." Shangwen said.

"If you do this, it will be very systematic." Meng Yi commented.

"In the military field." Shang Wen continued.

"The military reform will continue. However, the first thing we have to solve is the problem of the Qin Army’s replacement of defenses. The current Qin Army’s mobile force is seriously insufficient. If there is any accident, the Qin’s defense line may collapse. Therefore, We need to make some changes. I think we can adopt a strategic defensive posture and tactics, and a strategy of aggressively offensive parts of the campaign." Shang Wen thought about it. In the military, Shangwen doesn't know much, but he can learn from many things.

"We can't gather all our troops and put them on one front. This would be a waste of manpower for us. We don't have so many troops to carry on." Shangwen said.

"So, the prime minister wants to prove it?" asked Fan Zeng, the secretary of state.

"My approach is to focus on defense, mobile defense, and active employment, using commercial armed forces to proactively launch attacks. At the same time, we must also adopt a series of diplomatic methods to divide and resolve these ethnic minority threats." Shang Wen said.

"You can use trade means, we don't have to use military means, sometimes, trade is also a cheap and fast way." Shang Wen said.

"The prime minister's meaning is to use additional means to understand the opponent, not to use force easily, and to use fierce military methods against some disobedient tribes." Fan Zeng said.

"Yes. To sum it up, the general idea is Big Stick and Trade. Or we can also call it the Big Stick and Qin Ban policy." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"Good way." Fan Zeng said. Shangwen borrowed from President Theodore Roosevelt's great dollar policy. Such a policy has a very good effect on expanding the market and expanding the market. Use a single military method. the cost is too high. Especially for barren areas. The cost of using military means is too high. The Ministry of Finance is definitely not willing to spend such a sum of money, and the other party’s national character is tenacious. If it cannot be completely eradicated, they will repeatedly war against you. In that case, the State of Qin will have to resort to military means to suppress it. , And the cost of Qin's military means will be very high. Minorities launching wars are profit-making behaviors. In addition, they are cavalry. The long-delayed war pattern is a disaster for Qin. Qin is likely to be gradually dragged down or overwhelmed by Qin’s finances and economy. The last straw. Throughout history. Such things abound. The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, the Qiang people on the border of the Hexi Corridor, and the Ming Dynasty’s foreign wars, if they could not be resolved for a long time, they would eventually have an immeasurable impact on the state’s finances. It is not an agricultural society, but the economy is still the essence. This kind of resource consumption is the most unacceptable to finance. Excessive consumption of finance is likely to produce a bigger crisis. The famous dynasties in history have made great achievements in external expansion, but once the war falls into Stagnation, or improper management, will have serious consequences, and the national economy will become extremely fragile under such excessive consumption.

Shangwen is also facing such a situation. Qin seems to be very powerful, but in fact he also has his fragility. This fragility is the economy. If Qin’s finances blindly deplete, this fragility will be exposed. If it is not resolved for a long time, Qin will be difficult. Escape the ending in history. In Shang Wen's view, Qin's demise was due to his excessive consumption, which brought fatal consequences. The financial crisis triggered the country's economic crisis, followed by political disasters, and eventually escalated into a national war disaster. Shang Wen doesn't want to see such a result happen, therefore, he needs to manage the country carefully, try to use lower cost methods, and reduce his dependence on finances. Try not to let Qin State fall into the economic crisis. At the same time, Shangwen is also looking for ways to complete the system reform of the Qin State, and try his best to use a reliable, stable and flexible system to reform the problems of the Qin State in different periods. This is of vital importance to Qin State.

"The way to reduce costs is to use merchant arms. We have to give merchant arms a certain degree of freedom. This is very beneficial to the country. The internal affairs are to open up the market. Then expand domestic demand, encourage investment, free competition and so on. "Shang Wen said. Qin's current problems are not in internal affairs, so Shangwen doesn't emphasize much in internal affairs. In terms of actively developing markets, Qin needs to actively make some efforts.

"I think this is very good." Meng Yi said.

"If merchants use it, they will drive greater domestic demand. Think about it. Huge military equipment demand, material demand, transportation demand, and capital demand. These can be achieved without spending government revenue. . It's already very rare." Meng Yi said. Meng Yi is very clear about how much impact this will bring. The current financial pressures of various countries are enormous, and under such circumstances, Qin can only do so.

"Yes. Very correct. This is everything we want to see. What we need is to complete these as soon as possible. Do the current things." Shang Wen said.

"I think that's all about the matter. Anything else you can add. If not, we will make a record and show it to the king. Then next year we will start following this." Shang Wen said .

"I think there is one more important thing." At this moment, Fan Zeng stood up and said.
