"Qin State prepared us to issue a large amount of government bonds." Li Mu told his finance minister.

"This is good. It can solve our government fiscal expenditure." The Minister of Finance said.

"But." The Minister of Finance said worriedly at this time.

"But what?" Li Mu asked.

"It just feels that Qin Guo did this suddenly, which makes people feel incomprehensible." At this time, the Minister of Finance said.

"In any case, we can issue government bonds to solve a considerable part of the financial problems. This is still good for us." Li Mu said.

"Qin State used his own financial funds to build a lot of things, and now we need to do the same to start the so-called Zhao State infrastructure construction." Li Mu said.

"If this is the case, the problem can be solved." The Minister of Finance said.

"Let's discuss with Qin Guo Wenyang Bank first to see how to solve this matter." Li Mu said.

"Well, I will go now." The Minister of Finance said to Li Mu. Regarding Qin’s convenience for Zhao’s issuance of bonds, the Minister of Finance felt that the other party had a conspiracy, but for the time being, Zhao’s issuance of a large number of government bonds is indeed very beneficial to Zhao.

Parliament in the Wei State Refugee Camp.

"Such conditions are really unacceptable." A member of Wei Guo said, shaking his head.

"Taxation, it's too unfair. Why are we businessmen who pay taxes, and those noble lords don't pay taxes, they have money." A businessman stood up and waved a strong arm in opposition. The preliminary clauses sent from South Korea’s Xinzheng aroused dissatisfaction with the Wei State Council, and firstly caused dissatisfaction among Wei State Councillors on the issue of taxation.

"How can this be done? Those of us who were ransacked by them do not have much wealth in themselves. At this time, taxation is also a business tax provided by the businessmen. If the Wei State is unified, it can be paid from these people, but now it seems However, these nobles of the Wei Kingdom did not mean that. On the contrary, they even let us continue to come out. It is really damning." A poor-born congressman waved his hands and said.

"Yes, it's so angry," another member of the Diet said.

"You are still angry, and I am angry." said a middle-aged congressman who got rich.

"Is it easy for us businessmen to do some business?" said the fortune-minded member of the Central Plains. He is a businessman. In the destruction of Wei Jun, his accumulated property losses were exhausted. Finally, he gathered a certain amount of property here, and he had to levy commercial taxes on them. Fortunately, it was not too much, and it was reasonable. However, according to the current development, if the State of Wei is reunified, not only will they not get practical benefits, on the contrary, they will get a greater burden and tax burden. This result is not for them Can see the situation.

While the legislators were discussing this matter angrily, Chen Yu, who was silent on the side, felt that an opportunity had come.

Think about it, this is not because you didn’t seize the opportunity, but the opportunity offered by the other party. If the nobles did this, they would only make the councillors dissatisfied. The situation is terrible.

Thinking about it carefully, the current situation is very beneficial to my desire to send troops, because instead of being taxed after the reunification, it is better to take the money and give a severe lesson to the nobles, so that you can learn from the nobles. Collect more taxes. In this case, the desire to go to the south can be quickly realized. Thinking of this, Chen Yu feels that his ideas are very marketable at this time.

"Everyone, give me a seat." At this moment, Chen Yu stood up and spoke to the congressmen.

When someone wanted to explain something, everyone slowly calmed down.

"I know everyone is dissatisfied with the nobles, but what can be done if they are dissatisfied. Those nobles have a lot of property, but they can sit back and enjoy it. As long as they abolish King Wei, they can sit on an equal footing with us. This is really unfair. Yu said loudly.

"Yes. That's right, it's too unfair. It's too unfair." At this time, other congressmen felt the same, so they responded.

"Rather than tolerate it like this, it's better to launch an attack directly and teach the other party." Chen Yu said loudly.

"Yes, teach the other party, teach the other party a lesson." Some congressmen said harshly at this time.

"However, if you do this, you will need a lot of finances and taxes. This, we won't have so many." Other Members were worried at this time.

"Do you want us to pay taxes to those noble lords in the future?" said the businessman congressman who felt very unbalanced in his heart. In their view, the commercial tax levied only for their businessmen is already very unfair. In this country, the taxes they pay have already played a big role, but they will have to pay taxes in the future, but in fact, they get too much. This kind of unfairness makes businessmen feel that it is easier to use war methods.

However, most of the legislators are still reluctant to start a war. The reason is very simple. To start a war, it will cost more money. It is impossible to accomplish this by relying solely on the taxation of the merchants. It is very likely that they will have to pay taxes themselves, which is not what they want to see.

Qin State Xianyang.

"Before, I have explained Qin’s method, that is, you organize the rioting Chu people, your city labor service company, recruit these people, give them food, clothes, and all kinds of daily necessities, and promise to give them. For their certain company, we, Qin State, can provide support for these materials. If necessary, we can pay for the travel expenses. However, after you receive the collected compensation, you must return it to us. As for things like interest, it depends on how you solve it. Yes." Shang Wen said to Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo.

"En. Prime Minister, this method is very fair for us to go abroad." Xiang Liang said to Shangwen.

"It's really fair. It can be said that it solved one of our big problems and also solved one of your big problems." Shangwen said.

"It's just. To do these things, we need a lot of money. At present, Chu State does not have enough funds to do such things." Xiang Liang said.

"Oh." Shang Wen was a little surprised at this, but it wasn't so unexpected after thinking about it. Because doing such a thing does require a lot of expenses.

"We need money. A lot of money." Xiang Liang continued.

"Recruiting these people, these rioters need a lot of supplies. First of all, food is a headache for us." Xiang Liang said.

"In addition, we need to spend more to settle these people, especially their family members, plus all the migration, Chu Kingdom from here to the Western Regions. The journey is extremely remote, and it is very difficult to solve these problems." Xiang Liang Said very embarrassingly. The more so. Xiang Liang felt that the more he could get the support of Qin's funds.

"En. What do you want to do?" Shang Wen asked at this time. He also felt that it was very difficult for Chu State to be able to do such a thing.

"Loans, we need a lot of loans." Xiang Liang said.

Hearing this, Shang Wen frowned. He knows this problem is more difficult.

The state of Chu needs a loan. Such a thing is reasonable. However, the record of non-performing loans of the state of Chu and how to repay it by the state of Chu are all problems. It is not that Qin State does not borrow money or is unwilling to borrow money, but that it is difficult for the other party to return the money after borrowing it. This problem must be solved before Qin State's bank can borrow money.

"The prime minister. We really need a lot of loans." Xiang Liang pleaded.

"It's not that we don't borrow. It's that there are many problems." Shang Wen said embarrassingly at this time.

"The State of Chu also borrowed a sum of money before, but did not repay the loan. This would result in a bad record. If such a record would share information in the Qin State Bank, it would be difficult for Chu State to borrow such a sum. Money." Shang Wen continued.

"Not only this, but also how you will return the money. You know, Chu's economy is very worrying. Such problems make it difficult for our bank to make a choice." Shang Wen said embarrassedly.

"Prime Minister, we can use these Chu people as collateral. We can also have a lot of properties to pay off the debt. It's not that we don't pay it." Xiang Liang said to Shangwen.

"I know this problem very well. There is always a solution. What's more, what we lend to you is only a large amount of paper money. You must be aware of this. Gold is certainly possible, but in that case, the value will be great." Shang Wen said.

"Banks are not willing to provide you with a large amount of gold, only paper money. I will think about other methods." Shang Wen said.

"Paper money?" Xiang Liang said disappointedly.

"Yes, there are only paper money. At present, Qin does not have more gold to do this." Shang Wen replied.

"Only a large number of banknotes can circulate banknotes," Shang Wen said.

"It's just that I heard recently that it is in Zhao Country." Xiang Liang said while looking at Shang Wen. Xiang Liang was worried that the use of Qin State banknotes would cause a great depreciation. In that case, Chu State would suffer a great loss.

"I know this." Shang Wen said.

"But, please check the situation again in a few days." Shang Wen said.

"In addition, using Qin State banknotes has many advantages. We can help people solve problems financially. But the premise is that you must have good development. This must be done." Shang Wenrang said with interest.

Xiang Liang didn't understand what Shang Wen said. He didn't understand what Shang Wen meant.

"It's just that we don't understand what the prime minister meant." Xiang Liang said to Shangwen.

"We can provide financial support. But the Chu state's affairs are difficult to solve. We need to understand many things in Chu state before we can formulate relevant policies. It will be fine after Zhao's affairs are resolved for a period of time." Shang Wen continued.

"But. Another point, I still need to explain." Shang Wen said at this time.

"That is, you have to organize this matter in the name of a trading company, a trading company, and an enterprise. Cooperation is a business matter, and this matter must be resolved in a business way." Shang Wen said to Xiang Liang.

"Use a business approach?" Xiang Liang was very surprised by Shang Wen's proposal, because he didn't understand why the other party said it. Uncle Xiang on the side moved Xiang Liang quietly at this time. Instructed him not to ask too much, many things can be solved by asking later.

Looking at Bo Xiang's eyes, Xiang Liang didn't ask much.

"Why did this happen just now?" Xiang Liang asked Xiang Bo on the way back.

"This matter is not something you and I can solve. Qin State has a lot of initiative." Xiang Bo said to Xiang Liang at this time.

"What do you mean?" Xiang Liang asked unclearly.

"In Qin Guo's own words, this is an economic problem, an economic problem, and this economic problem is the most difficult to solve." Xiang Bo said.

"Economic problems?" Xiang Liang asked, looking at Bo Xiang.

"I can't tell you this thing clearly. Anyway, a general like Li Mu who is good at fighting is not as good as Prime Minister Qin. I think we can't do it either." Bo Xiang said at this time.

Hearing this, Xiang Liang was a little unhappy, but what would happen if he was unhappy? The current situation in Chu State is indeed passive.

But as to why the Chu State issue is an economic issue. Xiang Liang was also clearer. The reason was that they had no money and their navy was in a desperate situation. In order to solve their plight, Xiang Yan had to cut military expenditures through cuts, but this was still not enough. Without strong economic power to support it, Chu's navy was struggling. It is difficult to move forward.

"Chu's problem is another currency problem." Shang Wen said to Mo Li. Regarding how to solve the Chu State problem. Shang Wen couldn't think of a good way.

"What happened to Chu State's problem?" Mo Li asked curiously. Chu is a big country in the south. Although this big country has been severely hit by the Qin country, its population and geographical conditions are relatively better, and its potential is still great, but their political situation is worse. This is Shang Wen's first impression.

"I think Chu's problem is very complicated. The reason is that the political situation in this country is very bad." Shang Wen said to Mo Li.

"Xiang Yan is only one of the many powers of Chu State, and in various places of Chu State, there are also various Chu aristocratic powers of different forces. The existence of these powers has become an independent small kingdom. This country How do you say it." Shang Wen's understanding of Chu State is very shallow.

"It's like a federal country. They form a big country. For example, those nobles, they will gather when they fight in the Chu Kingdom. Normal politics has fallen into a state of stagnation." Shang Wen said.

"But the strange thing is that this country is different from a federal state, and it looks like a confederate state. They just have their own army together, and the army can sometimes use the private armed forces in the fief to gather." Shang Wen said. In fact, this was indeed the case. When Wang Jian broke the Chu State, the Chu State relied on the power of the nobility to gather equal forces to fight the Qin Army. If necessary, they would use a national standing force, and the situation of the various nobles’ armed forces. all different. This is why the state of Chu launched such a big action, but their aristocratic power still exists, but Shang Wen does not understand this. He can only use the federal system and the confederation system and his own way of understanding the current politics to understand these things. . It can be said that the state of Chu may be a perceptual product, and Shang Wen is accustomed to using rational thinking to explain. He hopes to use the economic, political and military conditions of Chu to solve these problems. This has led to Shang Wen’s understanding of Chu. Very inadequate. This is why Shang Wen always wanted to visit Chu State, because the situation in Chu State did not understand him.

"How do you want to solve it?" Mo Li asked Shangwen.

"Me." Shang Wen looked at Mo Li at this time.

"I don't know." Shang Wen shook his head.

"Chu, I don’t know much about this country. Moreover, this country has a lot of problems. This country has been reformed but also restored. Politically, there are both progressive and backward sides. In short, this country gave me something to do. The impression is extremely contradictory." Shang Wen said.

"Indeed, Chu State is indeed so colorful." Mo Li said to Shang Wen.

"Therefore, there must be a variety of methods for Chu, and it cannot be solved in a way like Zhao and South Korea." Mo Li suggested to Shang Wen.

"Multiple methods?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"Yes, multiple methods." Mo Li said to Shang Wen.

"There are many aristocrats in the Chu Kingdom, and their family inheritance is very large. Maybe you don't understand these inheritances, but if you open up the history, you will find that many such families have their own histories in the Chu Kingdom. For example. , The Xiang family you see today was still a country before. I don’t know the specific situation. This Xiang country was later destroyed by Chu, and then the monarch of this country became a nobleman of Chu, and there were many nobles in Chu. That's how it was annexed." Mo Li explained to Shang Wen.

"Oh. I don't know these." Shang Wen shook his head and said.

"There are many nobles like this, because Chu has annexed many countries and obtained them by different means. Although most of them were obtained by military means, most of these nobles came from this way, which balanced their great power. "Mo Li said.

"Unlike your Qin State, your Qin State can solve problems through killing. Chu State is more about absorbing, accepting, and digesting, but the aristocracy formed by the annexed countries is not good for Chu State." Mo Li explained to Shang Wen To.

For Shangwen, such an explanation by Mo Li is a new way of thinking. For example, Chu State became the Southern State of Chu through such a merger. No country had a large state of Chu before. This is also true. Why does Chu State have such a large capacity for absorbing, and its culture is also gorgeous and colorful? The famous poet Qu Yuan came from Chu State. Shang Wen thought inwardly. Mo Li's explanation made Shang Wen re-recognize this country.

"This country is indeed very peculiar." Shang Wen thought about it and said to Mo Li.

"How to solve this country, I didn't have a good plan before, but now this issue has been put on the agenda." Shangwen said.

"Qin lacks a large amount of labor in the country, and the problem of labor has not been fundamentally solved. The military lacks sufficient military strength. The Qin army has only a standing army of 250,000. Although the general mobilization can mobilize more. But in this way, There is too much financial pressure." Shang Wen said.

"Qin State does not need so much military power for the time being," Shang Wen said.

"In terms of defense, Qin hopes to make more use of the power of ethnic minorities, always maintain a state of reduced military expenditures, or at a lower position, and spend a lot of money on Qin’s economic construction. Qin’s economic development is extremely poor. Balance. The next step of development should be to balance this economy." Shang Wen said to Mo Li. This is Shang Wen's plan.

"Qin's labor force comes from two directions. This is one of my plans. The other is the state of Wei in the country. The territory of the state of Wei is much narrower, but his population is dense." Shang Wen said.

"In addition to the war and the lack of food, these populations are very important to Qin, and Qin has a lot of infrastructure needs. It needs these to become workers, and the number of workers in Qin needs to be doubled." Shang Wen said .

"The other place is Chu. The population of Chu is more than that of Wei. In addition to the recent riots in Chu, there is only one way out for these violent riots, and that is to be killed. But Chu’s current finances It is extremely difficult. Although their troops are equipped with advanced weapons, there are still not enough people to kill these riots." Shang Wen said.

"Therefore, it is best to solve these people through economic methods." Shang Wen said.

"These people are young and middle-aged laborers. They can solve the problems of their riots when they come to Qin, and they can also bring certain economic effects to the nobles. For these. The nobles of Chu should be able to solve it." Shang Wen said To.

"Unfortunately, what is lacking now is the population problem." Shang Wen said. Shangwen’s historical stage happened to be during the Warring States Period. The population of the Warring States period did not increase on a large scale compared with the later dynasties. Because of the war and other problems, it appeared when the Qin State developed rapidly. The problem of large-scale labor shortage. Different from the law of development of later generations, due to economic problems, a large number of labor surpluses appeared in the development of agriculture, which provided a large amount of cheap labor for the next step of capitalism and the development of capitalism. However, the Qin State No, the Qin State did not have rapid population growth during its development. The main reason was that it lacked such a process of population accumulation. If the State of Qin is given 50 years, I am afraid that the population pool will develop in a spurt, but Qin China does not have such a process, so the labor issue is before Shangwen, how to solve this problem. The problem that has become Shangwen, along with the population problem, is the currency problem. During the exchange period of the two different types of currency systems, gold and paper money, whether to use gold or paper money, Qin State is promoting such a force change. But it takes a lot of time, but not much time for Qin State, Qin State has come to this point. Can't go back.
