"En⊥ do this." Meng Tian said.

"En." Shang Wen said at the national security meeting.Yang Duanhe attended the meeting as a representative of the General Staff Department. The National Security Adviser, Fan Zeng, Wei Liao, Meng Tian and others all came to attend and listened to Meng Tian's report on some new situations they had received.Shangwen just nodded and didn't say anything.

"For the above-mentioned areas, especially the Yuezhi and Wusun people who imported a large amount of Qin weapons, we think this situation should be taken seriously. If the Yuezhi people are Wusun people alive, if they are not facing us, but Xiang If we want to attack from the south, then we need to take advantage of this favorable situation to expand Qin's control over the periphery of the Western Regions." Meng Tian said.

"The Qin army doesn't have many troops to use, and the maximum number of troops that can be invested in one regiment is already the limit." Yang Duanhe said to Meng Tian.

"En. I understand this. Our idea is to build on a regiment." Meng Tian said.

"You mean, the Yuezhi people and the Wusun people are not attacking our side with a large number of imported weapons?" Shang Wen asked Meng Tian at this time.

"Yes." Meng Tian replied.

"En. Tell me about the situation in Dawan Kingdom. I already know about the Yuezhi people." Shang Wen said to Meng Tian.Regarding the mass import of weapons by the Yuezhi people and Wusun people, Shang Wen believes that the current state of Qin does not need to attract huge attention.The Yuezhi people and the Wusun people were frightened by the Qin people.They did not dare to attack eastward, where the Qin people belonged.And they import so many weapons in large quantities, then there is only one direction, south.To the west there may be a civilized country, or a nomadic tribal country, possibly Persia.Shangwen can recall the history in the past, but there is still no information on the Iranian plateau that can be provided for Shangwen's reference.

"The situation over there is that a commercial armed force was attacked recently. I am afraid that such things will happen again in the future. This is not good for our future commercial activities." Wei Liao said to Shang Wen.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

"Is there any problem elsewhere?" Shangwen asked at this time.

"No, it's a little calm." Wei Liao said.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

"I have some ideas." Shang Wen said.

"This is the latest report. I have summed up some tools myself, and I think these may have a certain relationship with our future national defense and security." Shang Wen said and handed some materials he had prepared to everyone.

Wei Liao took it and looked at it.Others looked at Fuyu.After seeing it, Wei Liao looked up at Shangwen.

"Do you know what this means?" Wei Liao looked at Shang Wen and asked.

"These are things that Qin State may pay attention to in the future. I think you have some misunderstandings on security issues." Shang Wen explained.

"What do you mean?" Meng Tian put down the report in his hand and asked Shang Wen.

"Our commercial arming is not a large-scale invasion, nor a purely military operation. Our purpose is to develop the local market, rather than participate in it, and use military means to solve all problems. And I found that military operations in the Western Regions, In particular, the military operations of the Dawan Kingdom may have deviated from our intended purpose," Shang Wen said.

"On the contrary, I think that things like Yuezhi people and Wusun people are closer to our goal." Shang Wen said.

Hearing this, Yang Duanhe looked at Wei Liao in puzzlement, and Wei Liao looked at Shang Wen. He didn't know what Shang Wen meant.

"Our ultimate goal is not to expand the war, but to use war to force the other party to buy our weapons, or we can take the opportunity to sell weapons or other products on a large scale. Use their local specialties to exchange with us⊥ is like this Purpose." Shangwen looked at the crowd and said.

"In our current situation, everyone is very clear that we cannot expand westward on a large scale, and the current situation does not allow it. We need a time for development and transition. At the very least, our transportation must be completed." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"The way to stimulate the development of road transportation is to increase the transportation of commercial goods. The increase in logistics will naturally stimulate the great development of Qin State's railways in the Western Regions." Shang Wen said.

"I have this idea. You said before that you will build a large number of commercial bases on the roads opened by the Dawan Kingdom. How will the traffic conditions of these commercial bases be solved?" Shang Wen asked.

"There is no seal. My solution is to use the railway. The railway can transport a large amount of goods. At the same time, there are armored trains for protection. Once there is a problem, the armored train can be dispatched to protect the safety of our railways and strongholds." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"The establishment of these commercial strongholds is actually to promote our products. Before launching a large-scale war, we used commercial methods to suck up their funds, let them enter a period of financial difficulty, and dumped a large number of commodities to make their economic capabilities Decline. This is our purpose." Shang Wen said.

"The conditions of the Yuezhi and Wusun people just meet our requirements. We can fight, but not now. Before the war, we can do business with them. We can sell them backward flintlock guns and smoothbore artillery. In this way, we can earn a lot of money, and we can also manage a large number of military supplies orders. Our main purpose is to open up the market, not to fight them blindly. The situation of Dawan Kingdom has this meaning It is." Shang Wen said.

"En. There is indeed such a situation. Dawan Kingdom has continuously dispatched commercial armed forces to plunder. They have attacked quite a few tribes. These tribes may attack our commercial armed forces after a counterattack. If this is the case, I am worried that our commercial forces will Can't start the activity?" At this moment, Wei Liao worriedly asked Shang Wen.

"I know that." Shang Wen said.

"However, there is no solution. With the start of our offensive, there will inevitably be some divisions among these people. As long as we use these divisions, it will be fine. After all, some people will cooperate, and some people will not cooperate." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"The specific thing about Dawan Kingdom lies in the establishment of commercial bases. With these commercial bases, we can do many things." Shang Wen continued.

"Are we going to continue dumping a large number of flintlock guns and artillery?" Meng Tian asked at this time.

"Yes, our military enterprises need a lot of military expenses to support them. At that time, we couldn't allocate a lot of military expenses to the army. What we need to do is to sell them a lot of obsolete weapons to maintain the operation of Qin's military enterprises. ↑Industrial products are not just products for us to open up the other party's market. Our other products can also enter it on a large scale." Shang Wen continued.

"In addition to these, some local resources are also our focus. At present, the development of Qin State needs a variety of resources. What kind of advantageous resources does the local area have? We only need such resources as Suoyne." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"If you do this, it needs to be greatly improved. The means are not necessary means. But it is the last means. And there are many kinds of means to be used before. Do we need to combine all the forces to carry out? " Meng Tian asked Shang Wen.

"Yes. I plan to establish a large-scale trading company in general, and various trading companies will carry out the general business of foreign trade. For example, we will establish a Western Region Trading Company, or a Western Trading Company. Use the company to participate Among them. We cannot participate in it." Shang Wen said.

"En." Wei Liao nodded.And Yang Duanhe also nodded.In this way, Qin Guo is equivalent to releasing all the outside affairs.Whether the company starts trading or seeks other ways to seek benefits is entirely their own business, and Qin State does not interfere much in this matter, how to make profits becomes the company's business.It has become something that the industrial and commercial enterprises themselves worry about, not something that the Qin government and the Qin army are worried about. In this way, the Qin government and the Qin army have a lot of freedom.This is where Yang Duanhe nodded in agreement.

If the current method is followed, Qin Jun will not be able to complete such a thing anyway, but if Shangwen intends to hand over these things to the trading company, then they will not have to undertake such a thing.

"In terms of specific ideas, we don't interfere a lot. It can be said that we only need to provide corresponding registration and license issuance, which can reflect the extent of what they have done. We only need to understand and obtain these conditions." Shang Wen said .

"Qin's security strategy is like this. In general, our border states are in a state of alert and defense. Outside the border, our trading companies adopt flexible and multiple methods. Whether it is trade or military strikes. Or cooperation, training your own assistants is also good. In short, our Qin government does not interfere a lot, so let them go and boldly let them do it." Shang Wen said.

When Wei Liao heard this, he was vaguely worried, but he thought of the current situation in Qin State.He still felt that some of Shangwen's ideas were correct.After all, this actually did not cause much loss to Qin.

The meeting quickly determined a strategy, but this strategy still needs the final approval of King Qin before it can take effect.This strategy is to encourage those trading companies in the Qin State to start trading, to give strong support to their trade, and to limit their interference.

"Isn't such an idea a bit too crazy?" Meng Yi asked Shang Wen cautiously on the way back.

"There is no way. If you don't do this kind of thing, someone will naturally do it. The current market in Qin is not very optimistic. We urgently need to open up the market in the Western Regions. Those factory owners, enterprises, and trading companies are all here. Stare. If we govern and interfere too much, they will not participate in it." Shang Wen explained.

"That's not what I mean. I'm worried. If we do this, it will be detrimental to Qin. You know, if we mess up like this, we can't control them at all. Who knows what they will do, and we will suffer in the end It must be us." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"Your worry is not unreasonable, but under the current situation, we have no room for intimacy." Shang Wen said.

"Qin State needs a large number of markets, but we can't provide such a large market. The production enterprises in Qin State have finally started to work, and the military industry enterprises have found a market in the Western Regions. This is thanks to the Yuezhi people and Wusun people. "Shang Wen said.

"However, if we look at it from a long-term perspective, you will worry that the demand for muskets will eventually be met. For example, in the current Chu market, the number of muskets we exported has doubled before, but now it is in the Large-scale shrinkage, the number of artillery exports is also rapidly decreasing. If there is no market in the Western Regions, our artillery workshop will stop production. In that case, workers will not start work, they will not get paid, and they will continue to What will you do?" Shang Wen asked.

Meng Yiye said he didn't know.

"They will go on strike and cause turmoil. This is the internal turmoil of Qin State. Such turmoil is not what you and I want to see the most. Such turmoil is fatal to Qin State." Shang Wen said.

"In this case, it is definitely not the situation we want. Once Qin's internal turmoil, the entire external situation will get out of control." Shang Wen said.

"And we must first maintain the domestic situation rather than the foreign situation. The domestic situation is the first." Shangwen said.

"The situation abroad helps us with a large supply of market raw materials. The development of Qin State requires a lot of raw materials. If these things cannot be effectively provided to Qin State, Qin State's development will not be as it is today. Scale." Shang Wen said.

"En. Got it." Meng Yi nodded.Shang Wen considered the problem from the perspective of Qin State, and Qin State's internal stability is the solid foundation for Qin State's external achievements.Such a base is very important to Qin.

Shangwen first considered Qin's internal stability, and then the corresponding external results.

"I know what you are worried about about Qin's safety. You are worried that these areas will lose control and become anarchic." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, if this continues, it will be very unfavorable to us. If there is a rebellion or a new threat arises, then Qin will be in a state of making enemies on all sides. I am worried that Qin will not be able to deal with such a situation. In this way If you go down." Meng Yi expressed his worries to Shang Wen.
