"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shangwen apologized as he entered.
"You're welcome. Prime Minister. The prime minister is really busy." Zhang Liang stood up and saluted.
Just now, Zhang Liang had seen King Qin leave.he knows.Shang Wen must have some important matters left by King Qin to discuss.
"Hehe." Shangwen smiled slightly.
"The king came over to discuss with me the affairs of the north. The north is implementing a brand-new strategy. There are some places that need specific analysis. Think about it, which will delay some time." Shang Wen explained.Meng Yi on the side looked at Shang Wen in surprise.Shangwen just needs to explain why.There is no need to say something important.
"Oh." Zhang Liang felt curious, but he knew that this was not the time to be curious.So he waved and said.
"The Prime Minister talked too much. Me." Zhang Liang wanted to explain that Shang Wen didn't need to say so much.
"No no." Shang Wen continued.
"The relationship between the two countries is unusual." Shang Wen continued.
"Some things. I think it's better for South Korea to know something. After all, the prime minister came here for the alliance between the two countries. It's okay to lay some foundations now." Shang Wen continued.
"En." Seeing that Shang Wen was like this, Zhang Liang had nothing to say.
"South Korea took the initiative to lower tariffs. This is a very good thing for Qin and South Korea." Shangwen continued.
"After the tariff was reduced, the trade volume between the two countries increased rapidly. There were also more merchants passing by. Qin's grain was sent to South Korea's warehouse at once. This was of great help to Qin's stable grain price. , we also want to thank South Korea." Shang Wen said politely.
"Prime Minister is serious." Zhang Liang said politely.
"Well. However, there are some things that make us angry. I received a telegram from the queen. Wei's checkpoints have not been eliminated. This is really bad news for us." Shang Wen said.
"I learned that Qin's grain is mainly sold to South Korea. South Korea is also sold to Qi. Qi is currently the country with the largest grain demand. However, Wei set up road cards on the road leading to Qi to collect high taxes. This is the last situation we want to see, and it is also the situation that annoys the two countries the most." Shangwen continued.
"So, I hope to resolve this matter as soon as possible. But judging from the current situation, it is impossible to resolve this matter through diplomatic means." Shang Wen said.
"What does the Prime Minister mean?" Zhang Liang asked.
"Use force. Forcibly destroy the Luka of Wei State." Shang Wen resolutely said such a sentence.
"Ah." Zhang Liang felt very surprised, he did not expect Shang Wen to say it so decisively.
"Use force. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible." Shang Wen said.
"I have already submitted the report on dispatching troops. As long as the king of Qin approves it, Qin will dispatch a certain amount of troops to destroy the opponent's Luka. As a fire aid, Qin will also send a certain amount of air power to support it." Shang Wen introduced. .
"Oh." Zhang Liang really didn't expect that Qin State had already reported this matter, and if this situation continues, Qin State will send troops quickly in a short time.
"We in South Korea are also actively preparing. We in South Korea can mobilize three main combat regiments to participate in the battle. The number of troops is about 9000." Zhang Liang said.This is what Han Shu said in the telegram.The South Korean side has mobilized three main combat regiments to prepare for combat.
"Well, thank you for the support from South Korea. I think. There are too many troops mobilized. The scale of this battle should be controlled at about 5000 people. Maybe the number can be further reduced. My thoughts are like this." Shang Wen slightly adjusted Take a look at your sitting posture.In order to get closer to Zhang Liang.
"Then you dare to ask the prime minister. What is the name of this mission?" Zhang Liang asked.
"Crackdown on high taxes." Shang Wen replied.
"We must first publicize this in a high-profile way. Our media has already done so." Shang Wen introduced.
"I found out that the six countries. Except for South Korea, the taxes in the rest of the countries are very high. The people need to cultivate themselves. But the taxes in all countries are very high. Even if it is a tithe, the tax rate is quite high." Shang Wen said arrive.
"In Qin and South Korea, taxes are controlled within [-]%. Some industries are tax-free and tax-reduced. Therefore, although various taxes have been increased, in general, our taxation is no problem. However, the taxation of several other countries is very problematic. Moreover, the existence of these problems has seriously affected the development of Qin and South Korea, which is very unfavorable to the two countries. Therefore, I decided to deal with Wei On this matter, we will resolutely adopt the method of force attack. Through this matter, we will influence countries, reduce taxes, reduce the burden on the people, and let the people have a certain purchasing power after recovery. In this way, Qin and South Korea can open up a larger The market will come. This will be very beneficial to Qin and South Korea." Shang Wen said.
"However, Prime Minister, there is a problem. It is to reduce taxes. Will the nobles in these countries agree," Zhang Liang asked such a crucial question.
"No." Shang Wen thought for a while and replied directly.
"This matter is difficult." Zhang Liang said.
"To be honest, I don't have any solution to solve this problem. All countries are agricultural countries, unlike Qin and South Korea." Shang Wen stood up and said.
"The agricultural development of Qin State has reached a very high level. Qin State has a large number of farms, and Mu Chi provides sufficient food. It is no exaggeration to say that these foods are about to become a disaster in Qin State." Shang Wen said with a smile.In fact, what Shang Wen said was indeed correct.The Qin State consolidated the original land through mergers and acquisitions.A large number of rural laborers were liberated.These laborers quickly gathered near the important cities of Qin State through factory work.In this way, the Qin State solved the problem left over from the feudal society of land annexation.At the same time, Shang Wen followed the trend and opened the channel for the development of capitalism in Qin State.The development of capitalism is bound to be based on a saturated agricultural civilization, that is to say, agriculture can provide sufficient food and allow society to develop further.
"South Korea can import a large amount of cheap grain from Qin, and the country also has a certain amount of farm wings to provide sufficient food, and also has sufficient labor guarantees." Shang Wen said.
"So. There is not much pressure on the two countries, but. In other countries, their taxes mainly come from agriculture, and agriculture has not changed at all, because the foundation of the nobility is land." Shang Wen said.
"So, we have to work hard on the land. It's just that I don't have a good way to solve this matter at the moment. I don't know if the prime minister has any good ways," Shang Wen asked Zhang Liang.
"No." Zhang Liang thought for a while, then dragged.But Zhang Liang was very surprised by Shang Wen's idea, because it was an unprecedented way of thinking, and this way of thinking was very clear.
Think about it.This is indeed the case, why these aristocrats do not reduce taxes, the reason is that they have a lot of land in their hands, and the land resources in the hands of the people are far inferior to these aristocrats, tax reduction is actually a reduction in land.As a result, the interests of the nobles who own a large amount of land will naturally suffer great losses, and some slaves will be sold.Nobles with a certain amount of human resources in their hands are naturally unwilling to lose their slaves and let them become free citizens. In this way, their land income will decrease.Population is also lost.This is a great loss to these nobles.The loss is not just direct benefits, which will affect their strength.On this point, the nobles naturally quit.
"Well. I thought of a way. Maybe start from the merchants. What I think is. Can some nobles be able to win them over by participating in commercial activities, and then concentrate the land through domestic transformation? Merged and concentrated in a few countries." Shangwen said.
"Forget it. Don't think about these issues. Let's think about the current specific things." Shangwen thought for a while.But I feel that this matter is too headache to solve.It is difficult to solve this matter in extreme time.So Shangwen decisively gave up.Because at this time, I will definitely not be able to figure it out.If you can't figure it out, just don't think about it, and just put it aside.don't think about it.
"The command of the army. And how to fight. The scale of the battle, and the reinforcements to deal with the Wei army. These are all details." Zhang Liang continued.
"En." Shang Wen nodded and said.
"I don't know if the prime minister is willing to form a coalition. We can also invite the Qi army to participate. After all, Qi is also related to this matter." Zhang Liang continued.
1675 Confirmed dispatch of troops
There is no good way to deal with the aristocrats of the six countries, and there is no unified way to proceed. Shangbun cannot understand the situation of the nobles in various countries, but the Kanto nobles all have one thing in common, and that commonality is greed.
The taxes in various countries are already ridiculously high. This is also an important reason why the economies of various countries are weak and the purchasing power of the people is poor. The reason behind these is the high taxes imposed by the nobles. Therefore, Shang Wen decided to use force to solve this problem.
In the southern border of the Western Regions, Wang Ben led a cavalry unit to a desert border fort of the Qin Army, where an infantry company of the Qin Army was stationed.
"Sir," said a captain standing in front of Wang Ben across the trench
"This is a person from the Western Regions we just caught. This is his confession report. This person from the Western Regions claimed to be an envoy from the Western Regions. He said that the countries in the Western Regions have not pursued this matter and asked us not to take military measures," the captain said because This is the relationship between the theater and the captain did not salute Wang Ben but reported directly
"Is it alone?" Wang Ben asked
"Yes sir" replied the captain
"A fucking person really underestimates us," Wang Ben scolded.
"But sir, we also caught two strange people," said the captain at this time
"Strange person" Wang Ben asked
"Yes, strange man," the captain continued.
"They all have bald heads and wear a kind of slanted clothes. It's hard for us to understand what they say, but the two of them seem to be very easy to learn recently, trying to learn our words and say strange things when they meet, so we can't understand," said the captain.
"There are many things like this that don't need to be reported to me," Wang Ben said impatiently.
"It's just that they are too strange, they are not aggressive, they just keep talking about something, one of my men said that he might be a wizard priest from the Western Regions or something," the captain said.
