Zhao State of Handan.

"I don't know, Mr. Xiao came here so late, any suggestions?" Li Mu was very interested in Xiao He's suggestions, because Li Mu learned about Xiao He's role in Qin State Wenyang Bank, especially in terms of business philosophy and methods of operation. It helps a lot.

"That's it. The current rise in gold prices and the issuance of state bonds are a series of issues." Xiao He explained his intentions.

"En." Li Mu nodded.

"I thought that there is another security hazard in Zhao Guo. This hidden danger is Zhao Guo's royal family expenses." Xiao He said.

"Royal expenses?" Hear this. Li Mu was a little surprised. Li Mu had considered this issue, how to solve the problem of royal family expenditure. Separating state finances from royal expenditures has become a problem. Li Mu wanted to learn from Qin's practice, but he didn't know how Qin did it. Now that Xiao He raised such a question himself, Li Mu didn't have any opinions.

"Yes. This issue puts a lot of financial pressure on Zhao Guo. According to my observation and understanding, the royal family's expenditure currently takes up a large amount of government expenditure, and the accounts exchanges between the two sides are also very unclear. If this continues, Zhao Guo's Finance will continue to deteriorate. If it cannot be separated reasonably, it will further affect the future issuance of Zhao Guo's government bonds. Because the financial situation is not clear, it is easy for investors to gain trust. In a crisis of trust Under circumstances, the Zhao government’s bonds will be completely unsold. This situation is definitely not good news for Wenyang Bank. You know, Wenyang Bank is the bank that underwrites a large number of Zhao government bonds. Wenyang The risks borne by the banks are far greater than the Zhao government itself.

"The current royal bank expenditure is a hidden danger to Zhao’s finances. I heard that Zhao’s expenditure is very large. As a result, the royal family will continue to oppress the government’s fiscal expenditure. The current Zhao’s tax revenue is extremely low. Stable, it is impossible to obtain more sources of fiscal and taxation. If expenditure is not restricted, it will cause a greater crisis." Xiao He said.

"En." Li Mu nodded. Li Mu agreed with Xiao He's suggestion. Royal expenditure has become a hidden danger to Zhao's finances, which is definitely not a good thing for Zhao.

"So, I want to listen to Mr. Xiao's suggestion, how to solve the current problem?" Li Mu asked.

"Financial management." Xiao He replied very simply.

Li Mu waved his arm to ask the situation clearly.

"Investment and financial management. Qin Royal Bank did just that." Xiao He said.

"Talk about it." Li Mu adjusted his sitting posture, obviously he wanted to hear more clearly.

"Yes, that's it. Part of Qin's previous fiscal revenue was still royal expenses. Prime Minister Qin was clearly aware of this problem, but at that time Qin was issuing bonds, relying on the reputation of King Qin. Of course, the credibility of the Qin government is also very good." Xiao He said.

"Afterwards, Qin State established a large number of banks. Among these banks, Wenyang Bank was among them. The prime minister was also very clear about what happened afterwards. Qin State's currency reform, especially after the use of banknotes, played a very important role. Obviously. In this way. In this way, the role of Qin’s fiscal independence is very obvious. If the royal family’s revenue and expenditure and Qin’s finances continue to be tied together at this time, problems will arise. This problem is very big. Prime Minister Shang Wen also thought of this, and suggested that King Qin should separate the royal family’s finances and use the royal family’s revenues and expenditures to establish a royal bank. And make various investments based on this, so that the royal family will have a stable income every year, the basic of the royal family. Expenses can also be separated from finances, which is a relief to Qin's finances, of course. Qin's finances have to give a certain amount of compensation, but the royal finances can be independent." Xiao He said. Qin was able to make the royal family's income and expenditure independent largely because the emergence of banks, especially the emergence of banknotes, accelerated the management of the demand for money. With its strong property, the Qin royal family quickly registered and established, and then raised a large amount of money. The capital of Qin Dynasty and various investment activities have greatly expanded the assets of Qin Royal Bank. And this expansion is far greater than Qin's previous financial gains. In this way, the Qin royal family established its own revenue and expenditure system separately.

"En." Li Mu nodded.

"If the royal family of Zhao State also established its own bank and carried out effective management at the same time, would it be possible to do so?" Li Mu felt that if he followed Qin State's model, it would also separate Zhao State’s finances from the royal family’s revenue and expenditure. In this way, the financial pressure on Zhao State will be relieved, which is a good thing and can solve many things.

"It should be possible. That's why I came in. It is to solve this problem." Xiao He said.

"En. If that's the case, it's the best." Li Mu said.

"En. I have submitted such a proposal to the headquarters. I believe it will not take long to solve this problem. I just hope that the Prime Minister can solve this proposal. If it can be approved, this is the best." Xiao He suggested.

"This is no problem. The problem that Director Xiao solved. It is the problem that our Zhao government is distressed. If this problem can be solved, it will be of great help to us." Li Mu said.

"En. It's the best. This is the result of cooperation between the two sides." Xiao He said. Li Mu stood up at this moment and held Xiao He's hand. This represents the beginning of further cooperation between the Zhao State government and Wenyang Bank.

Wenyang Bank's headquarters has received Xiao He's report on this report. Yingyu took the shelving method because the main funds of Wenyang Bank are currently concentrated in the direction of Zhao Guo. To solve this problem, Zhao Guo’s funding problem must be solved. After this problem is solved, the royal family's income and expenditure can be further solved. In the case of independence, the only way to further solve the problem. This is a chronological order.

Outside the Wei State Council.

"These congressmen are noisy and can't solve the problem at all." For the parliament, it has been slow to decide the direction of the finances. Chen Yu was very annoyed. But there is no alternative. If this continues, how to resolve the situation of arms expansion and war preparations will make Chen Yu very annoyed.

"I see, you and I both compromise one step. This is good for everyone." Zhang Er exhaled when he saw Chen Yu's annoyed look.

"No, no. This is related to the future of Wei Guo, absolutely not allowed to do this." Chen Yu said forcefully.

Regarding the Wei government, Chen Yu believes that it must be completely resolved, otherwise it will be difficult to tolerate their existence. At present, there are two governments in the Wei state, and one cannot tolerate two tigers. Zhang Er even ignored this truth. After Chen Yu refused, he walked away. Zhang Er looked at Chen Yu and shook his head, with regard to Chen Yu's thoughts. Zhang Er knows very well, but the Wei State Provisional Government hasn't been established for a long time, and its foundation is extremely weak. If it rashly expands its arms and prepares for a final battle, once there are some mistakes, the situation is really difficult to solve.

Zhang Er would rather be more cautious than continue like this, because if you do this, once you encounter the most unwilling thing to solve, it's really hard to say.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

"Is the situation true?" Han Shu asked Zhang Liang.

"It's true. Wei Li, the special envoy of Wei State, has arrived at Xinzheng Railway Station and is transferring to Qin State. Because Qin State adjusted the train operation schedule, it is estimated that he will stay for some time." Zhang Liang reported.

"Oh." Han Shu nodded, oh.

"Special Envoy Wei is here at this time, what do you want to do?" Han Shu asked.

"Regardless of the situation in the State of Wei? The minister believes that the current problems of the State of Wei still need to be solved by the people of the State of Qin." Zhang Liang said.

"En. It is true." Han Shu said.

"Qin's attitude is indeed very important." Han Shu said.

"We can't worry now. Wait a little longer." Han Shu said.

Qin State Xianyang.

"Wei's special envoy, Wei Li, stayed in Xinzheng, South Korea. Are we going to solve Wei's problem in Xinzheng, South Korea?" Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"Wei State question?" Shang Wen asked.

Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen.

"I think, how about you solve this problem?" Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi and said.

"I will solve this problem?" Meng Yi was obviously a little surprised. Many people in Qin State could solve this problem, but Meng Yi did not expect that Shang Wen would send himself to solve the Wei State problem.

"Yes. Just you. I think you are very suitable. As long as Wei can achieve a peaceful solution to the current predicament, I think these problems should be resolved." Shang Wen said.

"En. Okay. Leave this to me." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?" Meng Yi asked.

"Not for the time being. If we can avoid major wars and advance what is good for us." Shang Wen said.

"En. I understand." Meng Yi nodded and said.

"Then, I will go back as soon as possible to prepare to solve the Wei State problem." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"En. That's right. Before the settlement, it is best to inform South Korea and Wei Guo. Let the two sides sit down and discuss this issue as calmly as possible." Shang Wen said.

"En. I will do this." Meng Yi said. Shang Wen nodded. Regarding the Wei state issue, Shangwen only hopes to avoid war. The two governments can solve the current problems through peace talks. If they insist on continuing the war, Shangwen has nothing to do.

Korean Peninsula.

"Sir. None of them surrendered." A second lieutenant officer of the Yan Army reported. A Colonel Yanjun looked at the fortress guarded by North Korean soldiers with a binoculars.

"Fucking, it's all here. Still holding on to it." The colonel scolded while holding the telescope.

"Give me all artillery. Damn his mother." Colonel Yan Jun cursed.

"Yes, sir." The ensign saluted.

"The artillery prepares. The artillery prepares." The ensign shouted loudly. Yan's twelve artillery guns aimed unanimously, and then aimed and fired.

"Boom. Boom. Whoosh." The artillery shells kept flying to the main points guarded by North Korea, and the billowing smoke rose rapidly. The soldiers of the Yan Army were holding their guns, watching the main points of the guard turn to ashes as if they were looking at the scenery. Was a fatal blow.

The reason why Yan's army attacked North Korea was because North Korea frequently attacked Yan's country, which put Yan's Liaodong under the attack of North Korea. In order to solve North Korea, Yan's army had to retaliate against North Korea. In fact, it was not the North Korean army that attacked the country of Yan, but Goguryeo from the northeast of the Korean peninsula, which is located in the mountainous region. As well as the Silla and other tribes in the south, because these two areas are areas of armed harassment by the Qin State, North Korea, on the contrary, is afraid to resist because it is in the plains and hills of the east. As a result, Yan's military retaliation was mainly targeted at this area. And North Korea suffered a military attack for no reason. But Yan Guo would not care about these at all.

"Boom. Boom." Artillery shells continued to attack the fortress. The rammed-earth structure of the fortress couldn't withstand the fierce bombardment of artillery. As long as the firepower was concentrated and fierce bombardment, the Yan State could send their infantry to attack. Then quickly attack the opponent.

"All, prepare, kill." The colonel took a binoculars and looked at it. The main structure of the fortress had collapsed in several places. The defensive role of the fort has basically lost its original role, and the Yan army quickly launched an offensive.

Just when Yan State launched a retaliatory attack. Qin's Ministry of National Defense is also discussing this issue.

"General Meng Tian is fighting on the front line, unlike me, the chief sitting in the Ministry of National Defense." Wei Liao and Meng Tian chatted over tea.

"No, no, the role of the chief is far greater than those of our front-line generals. This time I can come to the Ministry of National Defense, and I have to study hard. After all, the Ministry of National Defense is too important to the current State of Qin." Meng Tian said.

"En. The general thought well." Wei Liao said.

"For the current situation, don't you know what the general thinks?" Wei Liao asked.

"En. I don't know much at present. However, I know that there are many problems on the front line." Meng Tian said distressedly.

"En. Our Ministry of National Defense is in need of a front-line commander like General." Wei Liao said to Meng Tian.

"En. Thank you sir." Meng Tian said.

"It's just that many things on the front line make us soldiers very distressed. The Ministry of National Defense has taken into consideration some of the ideas of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I think it would be the best if the Ministry of National Defense can resolve these issues." Meng Tian said.

"En. Tell me about it." Wei Liao motioned to Meng Tian to continue.

"On the front line, my troops often encounter a series of problems. Insufficient strength, coupled with dangerous terrain, and many unknown factors, these factors have too much influence on us." Meng Tian said.

"For example, in some mountainous areas, we cannot go deep. Once we go deep, our weapon advantages cannot be used. But if we don't go deep, we will be in a bad situation. For example, in the northeast, There are a large number of mountain forests. After these forests enter, it is difficult to come out. We don’t know what special circumstances there are in the forest. Moreover, fighting in the mountains is different from fighting in the plains. The forces are extremely scattered, and the weapons are superior. Because of this reason, the local aboriginals have maintained their advantages. We tried to use new weapons, such as airships, to solve the problem. In the plains and open areas, the problem can be solved easily, but in the mountains and forests, these The problem is very serious. The airship has extremely strict requirements for wind direction. Once it encounters sudden bad weather, we will suffer heavy losses." Meng Tian said.

"The problems the general said are no longer a minority." Wei Liao said after hearing it.

"In our southwest, which is the area south of the Qilian Mountains, in the plateau areas, our operations are extremely difficult. The air in the plateau is very thin. The operations are extremely difficult. If our medicine had not discovered this problem, I am afraid we would still Many soldiers have encountered the same problem." Wei Liao said.

"In addition, the plateau areas there are extremely barren and the development is extremely difficult. Our businessmen are unwilling to do it. Many of our areas have such problems. It is because the development is difficult, but it is these places that are difficult to develop. The hidden dangers of our national defense security, if we can't solve these problems, it will cause big problems." Wei Liao said.

"The current financial pressure is also relatively high. Most of the main funds are concentrated on economic construction. The prime minister does not pay much attention to expansion." Wei Liao said with some worry.

"That's true, but the territory of Qin's current expansion is already large enough. If it continues to expand, Qin will have a big problem of emptiness of troops. From the current financial point of view, the possibility of domestic increase in troops is very small." Wei Liao said.

"At present, the State of Qin needs a lot of troops to solve the defense problems in these special areas, but the Prime Minister's Mansion does not seem to have such a plan." Wei Liao said worriedly.

"En." Meng Tian nodded.

"Qin's territory has expanded a lot, and many problems have been brought about. It is far from solving the six kingdoms of Kanto." Meng Tian analyzed.

"This problem. Has risen to an economic problem. Under such circumstances, the development of the six countries and the development of the borders of the Qin State, as well as the expansion and resolution of border crises, are all integrated. The operation is more difficult than any previous generation of Qin kings can. The question that comes to mind." Wei Liao said.

"It can be said that the current problems encountered by the king have surpassed the problems that need to be solved by any generation of kings." Wei Liao said.

"It's true." Meng Tian said.

"But these borders are still in a defensive state. Such a state cannot be ended all at once." Meng Tian said.

"If you can't defend well, it will cause a crisis, and the financial aspect will be very passive to solve these problems." Meng Tian thought for a while and said that he wanted to worry.

"En. These problems can only be defended by military technology. At present, the Ministry of National Defense of Qin State will purchase landmines on a large scale, and then deploy landmines on a large scale for defense. It is estimated that the scale of production may exceed hundreds of millions." Wei Liao Speaking to Meng Tian.

"So much?" Meng Tian asked.

"Yes, that's all, I don't know if these are enough," Wei Liao said.

"With such a large number of mines, a large amount of barbed wire is needed to support them. In addition, the usual maintenance and layout, especially some key points, also need to be equipped with machine guns, artillery and other defense facilities. Such a project may require a lot of troops." Meng Tian said.

"En." Wei Liao just nodded.

"General Wang Jian's staff department also hopes to be able to extract its troops. Reorganize and upgrade. But at present, I am afraid that it is difficult to achieve." Wei Liao said. Thinking of this, Meng Tian also became worried. The current military power of Qin State seems to have entered a vicious circle. This vicious circle is that Qin needs a safe place, but does not want to expand its military strength, and is unwilling to support more funds financially. As a result, Qin’s security and economy are linked, and security issues have an impact on economic construction at any time, but military threats have not been resolved for a long time.

The prerequisite for economic construction is to be able to solve external security problems. However, Qin still has such hidden security risks, insufficient troops, and a considerable defense area, plus more areas, which makes Qin’s national defense The situation is very not optimistic. Wei Liao was also worried about this situation and felt that he was very responsible.

"Does the prime minister have such considerations?" Meng Tian then asked.

"Yes, yes, what the Prime Minister thinks is to use the method of a trading company to solve it. This method has been used before, but at present, it is not clear how much it can play and the problems that exist." Wei Liao said.

"It also requires some flexibility in operation. The Ministry of National Defense is too busy now because of these things." Wei Liao said.

"Now I just hope that there will be no problems in all directions. If there is a large-scale invasion." Wei Liao worried.

"En." Meng Tian was worried.

"In this way, the Ministry of National Defense has a heavy responsibility." Meng Tian said.

"No, after Zhao Guo's matter is resolved, he must ask the Prime Minister to resolve these issues. If these issues cannot be resolved, it will be difficult for me as the Minister of Defense to continue." Wei Liao said to Meng Tian.

"En." Meng Tian nodded. Regarding the issue of national security, this issue is very big. Qin currently faces two major problems, economic construction and national security.

Inside the prime minister's house. Mo Li took a report and handed it to Shang Wen.

"Have you read this report?" Mo Li took a report and handed it to Shangwen.

Shangwen took the report and it seemed that the report was about Qin's use of slaves and slave riots. Such reports had existed before, and most of them were simply ignored. The state government does not want to manage such things.

"What's the matter?" Shang Wen asked.

"Do you do that?" Mo Li asked.

Shangwen looked at the report. There were some photos in the report. The note under the photos was the solution to these riot slaves. Hanging, beheading, skinning, such reports Shangwen has read, and a large number of other things overwhelmed these reports.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded and admitted.

"You are too cruel. There are children and women among them, do you even want to kill these people?" Mo Li looked at Shang Wen seriously. This problem is very serious for Mo Li.
