The Qin State had set up concentration camps before, but this time it was aimed at the people of the Western Regions. The situation of the Western Regions was a bit complicated. Some of them supported the people of the Qin State. Most of this group of people are businessmen, and their trade with the people of Qin has achieved a great harvest. Therefore, they are willing to maintain this relationship with the people of Qin.

The other part of the people is the declining nobles. They hate the Qin people because the people of the Qin country have become difficult to survive. It is precisely because of these two kinds of people that Shangwen decided to treat them separately. After all, fighting for some Westerners would have a great advantage in the future trade of the Qin Kingdom.

Qi State.

"Without Qin people's funds, we can also develop, why should we cooperate with Qin people?" Tian Rong objected. There was news from South Korea that the conditions of Qin and South Korea made it difficult for Qi people to accept. Although Tian Heng has done a lot of propaganda work to illustrate the various benefits of railway construction, he has fallen into a deadlock over the use of Qin State banknotes.

"Why Qin people's money can circulate with us, our money can't be circulated with Qin people, we must know why, otherwise we will definitely not be willing to do this." Tian Rong continued.

"Yes. We absolutely can't do this." Some people reconsidered.

"Speaking of which. I am also against it." At this moment Tian Heng stood up and said.

"From my personal point of view, I also oppose the use of Qin's banknotes. On our land in Qi, why can't we use our own coins instead of using his Qin's banknotes?" Tian Heng said.

"That's right. My brother." Tian Rong said.

"Yeah." Tian Heng nodded.

"If we don't use Qin State banknotes, we won't have trains. Without trains, goods cannot be transported on a large scale. If they cannot be transported on a large scale, it will cause the accumulation of goods. Everyone has seen the current situation in Qi. Qi. Relying on its own development, it is no longer possible for the country to expel the Chu army. We need to rely on the strength of the Qin State to develop. What kind of development and commerce do the people of the Qin State rely on." Tian Heng said.

"The people of Qin have a well-developed railway system. One of their trains can transport us tens of thousands of materials, and their daily transportation volume requires us to spend tens of thousands of people barely able to complete the transportation volume. The advantages of the Qin people came out all at once. "Tian Henghuan came to the truth.

"With the railway, we can continuously import the materials we need from the people of Qin. Guns, ammunition, food, these are the things we need most. With trade, there will be a lot of commercial taxes. Qin people, Koreans, If Zhao people want to do business with us, they must cooperate with us and come to us. In this case, there will be taxes. With taxes, our farmers can lighten a great burden.” Tian Heng continued Speaking of.

"It costs a lot to support a soldier. It is a weapon. It is enough for us to rack our brains to think about the problem. We support a soldier, it takes twelve people, or more talents to make a soldier do a good job. Preparation for battle. Such a burden is very large. With a commercial tax, our burden can be reduced a lot. At the very least, we can do it. With 30 people supporting one soldier, our burden will be much easier. Recover. Otherwise, it will be the same situation as Chu State." Tian Heng said.

Hearing this, Tian Rong stopped talking. Whoever can solve the problem of military logistics supplies has the right to speak. Tian Heng relied on commercial taxes to support the army, while Tian Rong still relied on traditional methods. The traditional method is to adopt agricultural tax, but agricultural tax is too slow. Moreover, the agricultural tax can no longer support an army that requires very high logistical supplies, especially firearms, which must be imported from abroad. Each bullet will actually destroy several stones of grain. Such consumption is definitely an agricultural army. Unsupportable. The commercial tax can easily support this. At present, what Qi has to do is to expand the commercial tax. The premise of the expansion is to build railways and attract a large number of businessmen to do business in Qin. The convenient transportation is first of all. .

"Building a railway can solve many problems." Tian Heng said.

"Commercial tax can solve many taxation problems. At the same time, it can also attract more Qi people to build railways. After they learn to build railways, they can go out to work, and they can work to earn a lot of money." Tian Heng said. .

"In this case, how to plant those fields?" Tian Rong asked rhetorically.

"If you gather together, whoever can grow it can grow it. I heard that the people of Qin are like this. Therefore, a large number of farms and pastures were established. After the land was concentrated, they used a lot less people, but the grain output increased exponentially. Isn't the food imported from Qin?" Tian Heng said.

Hearing this, some people nodded, thinking that Tian Heng's words were reasonable.

"But what does this have to do with the use of Qin State banknotes?" Tian Rong still didn't let go of this issue. He believes that for the development of business, it is also not necessary to use Qin State banknotes.

"Trading means doing business, doing business, paying with one hand, and delivering with one hand. At present, we don't have much gold. The only country with gold is Qin, and the people of Qin have concentrated almost all the gold in his hands. There is no way. We only We can use Qin State banknotes, without gold, we can only barter." Tian Heng explained.

"Can we complete such a transaction?" Tian Heng asked.

"No, the people of Qin will help us to feed many people for the construction of railways. Moreover, these people can buy things when they have money, and the commodity economy will develop more and more. It will bring a lot of commercial taxes. We can cooperate with other countries. People who do business, these businesses can also bring us huge profits." Tian Heng said.

"There is such a good thing, why do we want to block the use of Qin State banknotes, it is just an exchange. When we have sufficient funds in the future, we can solve this problem. Then we can use our own banknotes. It is just expedient. That's it." Tian Heng said.

"Well. Is it just a stopgap measure?" Tian Rong asked.

"Yes." Tian Heng said. In fact, he is also unwilling to lose the right to issue currency, but there is no way. This is already the case. If Qi wants to improve the current situation, it can only actively develop business and trade. Otherwise, nothing can be done. This is the huge problem facing Qi. If this problem is not solved, how can it develop?
