"Such a loss is a great consumption for the Qin State. The population of the Qin State is not very large at present. Therefore, it needs to save." King Qin considered that the population of the Qin State was relatively small.Therefore, Shangwen's idea was accepted, and the problem of not applying minority troops to Wang Jian.It was vetoed. This approach is very beneficial to Qin State, and Qin State can also reduce large-scale expenditures. If it blindly expands, it will definitely be very unfavorable to Qin State.

"Your Majesty, do you consider allowing other countries to participate, and Qin allows them to establish their own colonies." Shang Wen proposed at this time.

"En." King Qin thought for a while.

"Yes, but we must control their scale." At this time, King Qin thought for a while and said.

"We can't let their scale be too large. In addition, Qin's colonies should be close to them. In this way, many things can be prevented. Besides." King Qin thought about it at this time.

"The garrison in the colonies must maintain a certain size. Or the colonies only have militias. In this case, it will be very beneficial to Qin in the future." King Qin said.

Although the expansion of Qin State brought Qin State rich spoils, a large amount of territory and the expansion of various resources, but the expansion of Qin State also brought side effects, that is, Qin State's strategic security defense line was a great threat.

The Huns in the north and the mountain people in the northeast are the ancestors of the Khitans and the Jurchens, even though they are still in the backward tribal era.But some tribes among them have already begun to contact the people of Qin, and some advanced civilizations of the people of Qin have been accepted by them.

In the south, there are countries in the Central Plains. Serious political problems generally exist in the countries of the Central Plains, and the root of these political problems lies in their outdated economies. The economy has caused a series of political and economic crises. All caused large-scale riots, and such things require great adjustments by Chu State itself to resolve them.

Further south is the issue of various ethnic minorities and tribes. There are also such countries in the Bashu area of ​​Qin State, such as Yelang in the south, Dian Kingdom, and so on.Qin Guo didn't solve it well.Although it will not lead to a bigger crisis for the time being, Shang Wen is very clear that with the further expansion of Qin State, these problems will appear sooner or later.

"Qin has problems that can never be solved." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.On the car that arrived, Shangwen commented on the current security situation.

"These problems need to be solved one by one. The things in the east are endless, and there are things in the west, and the king's intention is obvious." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"To solve these problems, we must rely on our strength." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Okay." Shang Wen nodded.In this regard, Shang Wen was helpless.

"Qin has too many problems at present. The burden on us is not small." Shang Wen said.

"We need to focus on these issues," Shang Wen said.

"The king gave us a lot of authority to use these minority soldiers." Shang Wen said.

"These soldiers are of great significance to us. If Qin State uses its local combat power, although the problem may be solved, the price paid is too great." Shang Wen said.

This is indeed the case in the Qin State in history. For example, the Qin army that went south could not withdraw after occupying the Lingnan area, and stayed there, making these areas a part of the Qin State's territory. First, most of Qin's main force was transferred outside.This resulted in the emptiness of the central forces and gave the peasant uprising army an opportunity to take advantage of it.What Shangwen has to do now is to avoid such a situation from happening. Therefore, Shangwen has always emphasized the use of those minority soldiers, and has been very careful not to mobilize them for the war mobilization of the Qin State.Wang Jian, on the other hand, hoped that the Qin State would use local forces instead of those ethnic minorities.Because there is a great crisis of trust among these minorities.

"General Wang Jian is very opposed to such things. The Qin army seems to have great distrust of these troops, and if they fight with the Qin army, it will cause a series of uncontrollable problems. In this matter, I think we should It's better to be more cautious." Meng Yi offered some advice to Shang Wen.

"It's good to be cautious. But it doesn't solve the problem," Naofumi said.

"Wang Jian is thinking about the problem from a military point of view, but fighting is not only the business of the army generals, but also the business of us politicians, as well as those taxpayers. They didn’t get benefits, and they didn’t have all the services they wanted, what would they do if they thought about it?” Shang Wen asked Meng Yi at this time.

"Now that they have tame in their hands, they will not choose us, and we may not be able to become the prime minister of Qin, but if they don't hold tame, but weapons, we will be killed in the prime minister's mansion." Shang Wen said arrive.

"Qin's financial problem is to solve the current predicament. Those taxpayers hope to enjoy various public services, instead of taking a lot of money to fight, fight. Fight non-stop. In that case, taxpayers will drive us out sooner or later. Step down." Shang Wen said.

"The unlimited cost of the war is also a problem. Therefore, the next step is to use these minority soldiers to participate in the war. It is best for Qin not to participate in it. The scale of the war should be small. However, Qin The combat effectiveness of the army must be much stronger." Shangwen said.Shangwen was in his mind, and the British Empire came to mind first. Shangwen had not read the history of the British Empire very well, because Shangwen's interest was not there.But judging from the territory controlled by the entire British Empire at that time, Shang Wen felt that Qin could do the same.At present, Qin State needs a large number of markets, and these city chefs will open the door to Qin State who will not be friendly. Qin State will use force to open the doors of these markets if necessary. However, if force is used, fiscal expenditures will need to be expanded. Especially the military expenditure. In this way, Qin's financial capacity, especially the government's investment in infrastructure construction, will be greatly reduced.

This is definitely not good news for domestic construction.Therefore, Shangwen needs to balance this problem. If the expansion is carried out blindly, if the domestic people do not get tangible benefits, they will quit and step down.Putting Qin into an unprecedented predicament is what Shang Wen is most worried about.

Therefore, using a large number of minority soldiers in the surrounding area has become the best way to solve the current problem.In this way, Qin State can save a lot of financial funds. Not only that, it can also solve quite a lot of market problems when opening these areas. It can be said that Shang Wen's strategy is very beneficial to Qin State.

"Is this feasible?" Meng Yi thinks that it will be very difficult to operate in this way, because it needs to persuade these ethnic minorities, how to persuade them, Qin State currently understands that they are still difficult, how to solve it?These are all unknowns.

"Do you know?" At this time, Shang Wen didn't answer Meng Yi's question, but asked another question.

"What?" Meng Yi asked.

"I specifically checked the report from our north, and some reports from mountain people in the northeast." Shang Wen said.

"It's about trade." Shang Wen added.

"I specifically checked the news." Shang Wen said.

"The situation in those places is that business is doing very well. For example, the Huns need a lot of things, such as salt, various iron products, knives, arrows, stirrups, etc." Shang Wen said.

"In addition, they also need a lot of tea, they need too many things." Shangwen said.

"However, there are very few things they can give, or in other words, what we can get from them is not so compact." Shang Wen said.

"What do they have?" Shangwen said.

"They have no banknotes, no gold, and some only have horses, cattle and sheep, and leather. Except for some leather, we even have advantages over them in flattery, cattle and sheep. In this way, we have their necessities , but we can suppress the superior products in their hands. In this way, the trade gap between them will be too large, and the Huns will not be able to get their necessities, so they will pay for war. For war, the cost of our trade is far The cost of war is far away, we don't want war, but this problem is difficult to solve?" Shang Wen said.

"At this time, what should we do?" Shang Wen asked.

What Shangwen reflected was the fact that the trade in the north was much smoother than that of Shangwen, because the Huns and Hu people were driven to a more northern position by the Qin army.Coupled with their severe injuries, it will take a long time to recover, but they need too many supplies.This demand is also the main reason for Qin's trade development, but it is also the main reason for restricting Qin's development, because the Xiongnu tribe does not have a large amount of currency. Among the same commodities, Qin deliberately lowered the price. In this way, the Xiongnu's survival Jici will receive a great challenge. For the Huns, it is a challenge of life and death. Therefore, in the northern border area, the Huns tribes continue to attack the trading tribes controlled by the Qin people and rob property.Both sides are in constant bloodshed.

Meng Yi knew a little bit about what happened in the north, Shang Wen asked this question, and Meng Yi also began to think carefully about how to solve the problem.

According to some information Meng Yi has learned, Meng Yi believes that this is a simple currency problem. The Huns who lack enough currency cannot conduct such trade. If there is no other way, they can only use traditional methods to solve it. It is war, which is also the northern nomadic issue that plagues traditional China.

Nomadic animal husbandry requires a lot of resources, especially various items of farming civilization in the south. However, this problem cannot be solved by means of trade. In the north, this problem has not been radiated when they lack horses, cattle and sheep, because these It is the basis of their survival. Without survival technology, they cannot survive without these things. This has caused constant harassment of nomadic tribes in the north and their continuous southward movement, while farming areas are constantly troubled by this problem. Contradictions can never be completely resolved.

"Actually, it's a currency issue. The Huns don't have enough currency. They don't have such a contradiction. They don't have enough commodities to survive. In this way, they can only use war methods. " Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Yes, very right. This is the key to the contradiction." Shang Wen said.

"So, we're going to solve this problem by having these aggressive northern nomads, in a different way, instead of using their horses to trade, to trade with their people, to trade with their armies In this way, we can not only solve the conflicts in various regions, but also solve the threat of nomads in the north. This is very beneficial to Qin." Shang Wen said.In Shangwen’s opinion, if we change our way of thinking and angle to solve this matter, the whole problem can be solved.Using these Xiongnu troops to solve their financial problems can also solve Qin's troubles. In this way, the Huns have funds and currency, and they have currency, and they can solve what they need.This is an acceptable plan for Qin and the Huns.

At this time, Shangwen seems to be thinking of a piece of history about the British Empire. In the early stages of British expansion, the Scottish issue caused the British a lot of headaches.Because Scotland continues to pose a threat to England, England spends a lot of money on military expenditures. Even military means cannot solve this problem. In the end, the two sides had to reach a compromise in diplomatic negotiations. In terms of expansion, it provided enough military resources for the army, and also solved a considerable number of labor problems.In contrast, the current state of Qin should also solve this problem in this way.Only in this way can these problems be properly and fundamentally resolved.

"So, at present, we must do this. For other countries, Qin can also follow this way." Shang Wen said.

"In terms of specific implementation, I suggest that we still hope to conduct business cooperation. The country and the government should not participate in it, and try to avoid letting the problem rise to a national ideology. This is not good for Qin. It should be avoided. .” Shangwen considered.

"En. This kind of consideration is indeed very sufficient." Shangwen said.

"Some of these nomadic and ethnic minority tribes have not yet formed a national consciousness, and even if they have, they are loose alliances." Shang Wen said.

"If we use the method of commercial cooperation in a decentralized manner, their power will be dispersed. If we use the method of national cooperation, they will gather together. At that time, it will be very unfavorable to Qin. I don't want to see a huge empire appear beside me." Shang Wen said.

"Well. I'm thinking about it." Meng Yi nodded and said.For Shangwen's consideration.Meng Yi agrees very much that the reason why Qin State did this is because he does not want powerful enemies to appear around him.

"As for how to cooperate, I think the government should not intervene in specific ways. Those businessmen are much smarter than us. We don't need to let them interfere." Shang Wen said.

"Just leave it alone?" Meng Yi asked.

"Yes. Freedom, free trade, that's it. If we manage everything, the government will be too tired. If there is a problem, we will manage it." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.Speaking of which, Meng Yi began to tidy up and get out of the car. After arriving at the prime minister's mansion, Meng Yi began to draft documents and issue orders.

Naofumi takes care of a few things.Because some things are just too tricky.For example, the gold in Handan, Zhao State soared.Shangwen hoped that the major banks in Qin State would help, but it seemed that these banks didn't care about Shangwen at all. On the contrary, some banks that felt profitable also joined in.For a time, the number of Qin State Banks in Zhao State increased a lot.The funds in the Qin market have also decreased a lot.The stock market has seen some declines.Shangwen was at a disadvantage in dealing with such a matter, because he didn't know where to start.Shangwen can only study and talk.

In Handan of Zhao State, Li Mu saw the gold rush that appeared in Qin Guo's captain, so he let it go. Although Zhao Wang was a little worried, Li Mu just kept persuading him that nothing would happen. As for what will happen, Li Mu really I don't know.After all, he didn't know what to do. Qin State was unable to buy coupons for a long time, which gave Zhao State a lot of uncertainty. Regardless of this, Li Mu felt that it was better to deal with Zhao State's own affairs.
