"Chairman, in this way, the price of gold in Zhao country will remain at a high level." Lu Zhi said.

"Yes. That's good too. We can sell the gold to these people. Let them buy it. The more we buy, the better." Ying Yu said with a smile.

In the prime minister's mansion.

"Zhao Guo's gold has risen to [-] gold again." Shang Wen said with some dissatisfaction when he received a telegram from Zhao Guolai. In Shang Wen's view, when the banks began to sell gold, gold should plummet. It should have fallen to a very low position, but surprisingly, gold did not fall but rose.This made Shang Wen very annoyed.

"These Zhao people are really unpredictable." Shang Wen said angrily.Then put the telegram aside.Regarding this matter, Shangwen believes that it is time to calm down and not annoy Ren.

In Handan of Zhao State, Li Mu learned of the dynamic price of Zhao State's gold at the first time.

"What's going on?" Li Muye asked in confusion.In his opinion, the Qin State Bank is selling the gold in its hands on a large scale, and the price of gold should fall, but instead of falling as he feared, it has risen to varying degrees, which is far beyond Li Mu's expectations. Unexpectedly, he didn't know why, but in this way, the current situation would stabilize, but what to do after it stabilized☆Mu himself didn't know.

"It's really unpredictable." Li Mu said ☆ What Mu knew was that the fall in the price of gold just attracted the appetite of some people who were greedy for cheap. They believed that gold was still going up, and the temporary drop was only temporary. Yes, it will rise sooner or later. If this is the case, the current price will be very low. This will attract some people to take the opportunity to buy, so some people will buy gold.For them, it is simply unreasonable not to take advantage of such an advantage.

As a result, the price of gold did not fall but rose the next day.

Li Mu analyzed it carefully, and felt that this situation would change eventually, but when it would change, Li Mu felt very uncertain.He felt that he should contact Qin Guo more now.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

"Now the personnel from both sides are here. We don't want to engage in any serious acts of war. The Wei people have already suffered a lot. We sincerely hope that all parties can avoid such a situation and resolve the disputes between the two parties peacefully." " Meng Yi looked at Zhang Er, Wei Li and the two said.In order to solve the problem of Wei Guo, Meng Yi let the conference play begin.

"Prime Minister Meng. I think the conditions proposed by Qin State are very good, but some problems have not been resolved." Wei Li looked at Zhang Er, and then spoke first.

"Oh. What's the problem?" Meng Yi looked at Wei Li at this time.

"Taxation." Wei Li said slowly at this time.

"Qin's plan did not mention such a thing. What I want to know is that we nobles did not have to pay taxes before. Then, after the formation of the coalition government, our nobles have made great efforts. Therefore, we do not need to pay taxes. Taxes will be paid. This should remain the same as before," Wei Li said.The problem mentioned by Wei Li happened to be a problem that Qin State ignored. At that time, both sides only paid attention to how to form a coalition government. It was ignored.At that time, the nobles of the Wei state were very concerned about this issue, because after the abolition of the king of Wei, the benefits they received from the king of Wei would be re-divided. Whether the nobles are in power or Zhang Er is in power, tax collection is an unavoidable problem. On this issue, Meng Yiqiao didn't think much about it.But the nobles thought of this problem, because they didn't have to pay taxes before, and their interests had a lot to do with taxation.

"You should pay taxes. It is your duty to pay taxes. You are rich but don't pay taxes. It's very unfair." Zhang Er said angrily.

"We never had to pay taxes before. Let us pay taxes now. We are not used to it, and we don't want to do it." Wei Libo said.

Meng Yi looked at Zhang Liang at this time, obviously this question caught Meng Yi by surprise.He didn't think of this, but Wei Li did.And this problem is more serious than the problem of forming the National Defense Forces. The problem of the National Defense Forces is only the armed forces.The two sides may still have some efforts to ease, but the economic problem is difficult to solve, especially on the issue of taxation. Assuming that Zhang Er continues to be in power, the nobles do not have to pay taxes, and the nobles who have a lot of wealth do not pay taxes at this time. It is difficult to maintain a balance. The government loses the tax revenue of the nobles, and the financial situation will inevitably deteriorate. The conflict between the two sides is still difficult to resolve.

"Calm down, I think this problem can be solved very well." Meng Yi said to comfort Zhang Er at this time.

"They hold a lot of wealth, but don't pay taxes. A lot of land is in your hands, you nobles are too greedy." Zhang Er angrily scolded the other party.

"We have never paid taxes. This is our inheritance. Now you want us to pay taxes, which is impossible." Wei Li said disdainfully.

He came here to a large extent for the established interests of most of the nobles and scholar-bureaucrats in Wei State. If they were taxed, their situation would become bad. "According to the agreement. Members of Wei State should be the ones who pay taxes. Because they have fulfilled their obligations, they naturally have their own rights, and if you don't pay taxes, there is obviously a big problem." Meng Yi said to him at this time Wei Li said.

"Since there is a problem, we won't talk about it." Wei Li threatened Yi Tui Chu at this time.

"Then, in this way, does it mean that the Zhanger government of Wei State can expand its military and prepare for war?" Zhang Liang asked this question back.

"This, this, can still be discussed. 8 novels" Wei Li compromised at this time.He heard from Zhang Liang that if the Koreans gave them great support, they would attack Daliang. Under the attack of artillery, they would not get support at all. If the city was destroyed at that time, they would suffer extremely heavy losses. .Instead of this, it is better to sit down and have a good talk with these people.

"I think we can ask questions about more types of taxes. For example, nobles don't have to pay agricultural taxes." At this time, Meng Yi put forward his own opinion.

"Most of your nobles have fields, and they can get a lot of harvest from these fields. At present, the state of Wei needs a lot of food. Therefore, I think it should be possible not to collect taxes on agriculture, right? Mr. Zhang." Wei Li asked at this time.

"This, of course. It's okay." At this moment, Zhang Er felt that Qin Guo might be helping him, so he felt that it was okay to do so.

"Since this is the case, the agricultural tax can be waived, and the main source of finance should be collected from the commercial tax, for example, from merchants' trade. Is this possible?" Meng Yi asked at this time.

"This. Yes." Although Zhang Er felt that something was wrong, he knew that he could only do this at the moment.

"In this case, the problem can be solved." Meng Yi said.

"On the issue of armed forces, I think that the national defense force can be formed in a similar way. The personnel selected by the two sides will be mixed, and the government will hire military personnel from Qin and South Korea to teach. This can avoid military problems. After the formation of the National Defense Forces is completed, the military forces of both sides will be disarmed on their own, is this okay?" Meng Yi asked.

"It's possible, but it's just that we still have some domestic slaves in our hands. The armed forces formed by them to protect the courtyard should not be disarmed. This is our own power." Wei Li pointed out at this time.

"Besides, they have their own militia, and we are also considered militia. The militia is not an army. It doesn't matter much if the army is abolished, but it is not easy to abolish our forces." Wei Li continued.

"This is theoretically possible." Meng Yi nodded.Zhang Er felt that something was wrong.Because nobles can use their own financial resources to expand the power of domestic slaves, in this way, the nobles still hold an army in their hands, which poses a great threat to the government. Even if the government has a national defense force, it is difficult for the national defense force to immediately Digged into inside training.Such a thing is too sudden.Zhang Er felt that the atmosphere at the venue was becoming more and more rigid, which was not good for him.And Meng Yi also felt some headaches at this time, because the financial resources of the nobles were not greatly restricted, and in terms of military power, they could be expanded into a military armed force by expanding the needs of the militia, and the possibility of joint governance became extremely high. Ridiculous.If this continues, the war will still exist.

When Zhang Liang heard this, he also felt that there was a big problem. The power of the nobles in Wei State did not weaken, but the power of the people, which made this reconciliation not very meaningful.If such news spreads to the refugee camps of the Wei State, I am afraid that without thinking too much, it will arouse great indignation. On the issue of taxation, the losses received by the aristocratic properties of the Wei State are very small. He evaded taxation, but it can be done in other ways. For example, to collect personal income tax, all nobles must pay according to their own proportion. He didn't know if Qin State needed to appease him, and he didn't make such a request. But at the beginning, a large amount of tax responsibilities were shifted to the newly emerging merchant class of Wei State, and the merchant class would definitely not be happy.

The meeting went very smoothly.Bland trying to make people sleep.The reason is that Wei Li has been obsessed with details and avoided talking about the main issues.But Zhang Er and Meng Yi were very passive in making some concessions on specific issues instead of fighting for them. In such a meeting, Zhang Liang felt that Meng Yi's mediation had little effect.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"Zhao Guo's problem is very difficult." Shang Wen said while looking at the telegram.

"The current gold price is still high. This is beyond my surprise." Shangwen said.

"En. Is there any way to bring down the price of gold?" Mo Li asked.

"I'm thinking." Shang Wen said.

"Specific investment projects require a lot of money. The Zhao government has no way to solve this. They are anxious about financial funds every day. Find a way. But this problem has never been solved." Shang Wen said.

"Then, you can help Zhao Guo solve the problem." Mo Li said to Shang Wen.

"That's true. My solution is to issue a large amount of bonds. However, issuing a large amount of bonds in the Zhao country market is simply not feasible. In their view, the actual benefits obtained by investing in gold are far greater than they buy a large amount of bonds. Bonds are as worthless as banknotes," Shang Wen said.

"However, the bank has money. The bank has a lot of money. They are selling the gold in their hands in exchange for a lot of banknotes. Their funds are slowly gathering." Mo Li said to Shang Wen at this time.

"Wait, what did you say?" Shang Wen suddenly asked Mo Li at this moment.

"I, I said, the bank has money." Mo Li said.

"Yes. The funds in the market are limited. In this case, what will happen to the price of gold when the number of banknotes on the market decreases to a certain level?" Shang Wen said at this time.

"The price of gold will fall because the supply of paper money is insufficient." Mo Li said to Shang Wen.

"Now we have to find a way to absorb the funds in the market." Shang Wen said.

"The problem now is that a large amount of Zhao Guo's assets have been revitalized through bank mortgages. But the funds have not flowed to the place of investment, so this is not what Shang Wen saw. That's the case." Shang Wen slowly Speaking of.

"We will use the power of the government to guide the funds." Shang Wen said.

As Shangwen spoke, he began to take out the telegram and draw up a telegram.Mo Li walked over to see.

I saw the telegram written by Shangwen.Mo Li felt that Zhao Guo's construction would also see great progress.

"Okay. With this telegram, Zhao Guo will have a big development." Shangwen said.

The content of this telegram from Shang Wen was actually carried out according to the original plan. Qin State Bank has a lot of funds in its hands, and the Zhao State government lacks enough financial funds to develop its own country. In this way, Zhao State will become more and more The more withered, and Qin's funds have not been used well, which is really rare for Zhao.

Shangwen's solution is to borrow a large amount of debt from the Zhao government.After raising a large amount of funds, he borrowed a large amount of bonds from the Bank of Qin.The government of Zhao State invested these funds in infrastructure construction, such as building a large number of railways and roads, which is the same as that of Qin State.At the same time improve urban construction, such as the construction of a number of important cities.Not only these, but also plans to guide private capital to invest, such as tax reduction and exemption, the government as an intermediary to guide private investment in cooperation matters, and so on.In the future, Qin State needs to expand its production scale, especially the steel scale. In this way, with the help of Zhao State's large coal resources, a large number of iron and steel enterprises will settle down in Zhao State.
