By adopting the trade method, firstly, it can stabilize the situation in the Western Regions of Qin State, and secondly, it can increase a large amount of fiscal revenue.At the same time, it can digest many products of Qin State.This is a very good thing for Qin.From an emotional point of view, Shangwen is more inclined to Qin to develop the Maritime Silk Road, but judging from the current situation, Qin's situation is not suitable for the development of the Maritime Silk Road. On the contrary, it is the land Silk Road that needs to be developed.

Shangwen thought of this.I feel very helpless in my heart.But the situation is like this. Many times what I want in my heart is often not allowed by reality.Shangwen was somewhat moved.

"Oh." Shangwen sighed helplessly.

"Why is the prime minister sighing?" King Qin asked Shang Wen.

"Oh." It was only at this moment that Shang Wen remembered that the King of Qin was beside him.But I didn't understand it for a long time.This is great disrespect.

"This." Shangwen was a little embarrassed.

"What did the Prime Minister think of?" King Qin asked immediately.

"Back to the king." Shangwen sorted out his thoughts.

"I thought of it. There are two Silk Roads. One is the overland Silk Road, which is the one I just mentioned." Shang Wen said.

"Oh." King Qin looked at the map.confirmed.

"There is another one, the Maritime Silk Road. This Maritime Silk Road starts from the eastern coastal area, goes south through a strait, and then crosses a strait to the west, and you can reach another wide sea area. By walking on the sea, you can also It can reach the above-mentioned areas. For example, West Asia, and the South Asian subcontinent." Shang Wen explained.In order to facilitate understanding, Naofumi sketched some geographic locations on a piece of paper.The map of the Prime Minister's Mansion does not contain the places Shang Wen mentioned.Shangwen can only use drawings to deepen King Qin's understanding.

"En." Qin Wang looked at the map carefully, as if there were really these mountains and rivers on the map.

"I just thought about it." Shang Wen continued.

"From the perspective of development potential, Qin State should develop the Maritime Silk Road, because sea transport has a large volume of transportation, low cost, and can reach far away places. However, the current situation of Qin State does not allow this." Shang Wen said arrive.

"What is the situation in the southern waters? Qin has not yet grasped it. Moreover, it will take a long time to develop the southern seas, and more energy, material resources, financial resources, and manpower will be invested. These Qin countries are currently unable to mobilize." Shang Wen said.

"Qin is still barely in control of the Western Regions, and needs to further deepen its control over the Western Regions. If Qin develops the Maritime Silk Road at this time, it will undoubtedly give up the Western Regions. This is very detrimental to Qin." Shang Wen said.

"En." King Qin nodded.King Qin agreed with Shang Wen's view.Abandoning the Western Regions is currently impossible for Qin.Qin State spit out the Western Regions before digesting the Western Regions. This is a very uncomfortable thing for Qin State.

"In addition, there are many countries around the Western Regions. Through trade, we can strengthen control and increase Qin's fiscal and tax revenue. This is very beneficial to Qin. It can be said that the Western Regions are a piece of meat on Qin's lips. If you don't swallow it at this time, it's really against the law of nature." Shang Wen analyzed.

"Hehe." King Qin laughed at this moment.

"Judging from the current situation of Qin State, we should continue to strengthen the development of the Western Regions. Only in this way can we control the Western Regions and control the Western Regions," Shang Wen said.

"At the same time, the Western Regions can mobilize other Central Plains countries. This is a very important chess piece for Qin." Shang Wen said.

"Although from a personal point of view, it is a pity to abandon the Maritime Silk Road, which has great potential." Shang Wen said.

"But at present, what fits Qin's situation is precisely the land Silk Road. Moreover, Qin has railway technology. If Qin develops first and manages the land situation well, Qin can quickly increase its strength. With this Strength, Qin State can divert energy to develop the Maritime Silk Road in a very short period of time. It has to be said that this is an ulcer of Qin State's strategy of retreating first and then advancing." Shang Wen expressed his inner thoughts.

"En. This is also the reason why the Prime Minister sighed helplessly just now," King Qin continued to ask.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

"Sometimes, it's really not an individual's choice." Shang Wen said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"In this way, Qin can stabilize the situation in the northwest and the north." King Qin nodded in approval.The King of Qin also knew very well that the main reason why the Qin State could not go east was that the Qin State expanded too much.If you can't separate from these places in time, Qin will not be able to gather enough troops to attack the six countries.

If the Qin State expands its army, it will consume more financial resources.The current financial situation of Qin State does not allow Qin State to expand its military and prepare for war like this.This can easily cause Qin's economy to collapse.Shangwen is clearly opposed to this point.

At the same time, the King of Qin also didn't want the Northern Region to become a burden to Qin after not winning the Western Regions for a long time. This was really not reconciled.The overland Silk Road proposed by Shangwen at this time is actually a business strategy.It takes a certain amount of time to digest the northwest and the north, so that Qin can not only free up a large number of troops, but also obtain a large source of taxation.In particular, the idea of ​​the land silk road proposed by Shang Wen can largely solve the source of Qin's finances and taxes.With a stable and generous taxation.Qin State can quickly send troops to the east.This is an important strategic assumption of Qin State.King Qin was very patient with such a strategic idea.

"In addition, it is the Maritime Silk Road." Looking at the map, Shangwen proposed a bolder idea.This idea had to be brought up by Shangwen.Because Shangwen didn't want Qin to unify the world with a gesture of conquest by force, so that more people would be killed or injured, and Shangwen didn't want to see such a thing happen, so Shangwen went on to propose a method he thought was feasible.

"The Maritime Silk Road can continue to be developed and explored. For example, we can drive South Korea, Qi, Yan, and Chu to explore on the sea and expand their colonies." Shang Wen said.

"In this way, don't the Six Kingdoms have a chance to grow stronger?" King Qin realized that Shang Wen's thoughts undoubtedly gave the Six Kingdoms a great opportunity to become stronger.This opportunity is overseas. In this way, when Qin State withdraws from the northwest and north, the six countries may also have the power to resist Qin State. This is the most unlikely situation for Qin State.Consider the current state.Qin State can quickly wipe out the six countries.But it needs to consume a lot of national power, and it is very likely that Qin will fall into a bigger economic crisis.But these are not what King Qin paid attention to.What King Qin cared about was the great wish of unifying the world and giving the six kingdoms a great opportunity.This is the result that King Qin did not want to see.therefore.King Qin was very conflicted in his heart.And Shangwen also understands this point, he can fully understand the urgent desire of Qin to unify the upper and lower levels, but unification is not a matter of unifying the six countries at once.True unity is the cohesion of the scattered cohesion of the country.It is more difficult to do this.Even so, Naofumi decided to make such a point.

"Your Majesty, I know that there are great risks in doing so. However, crises and opportunities always coexist. The ability of the six countries to seize the opportunity depends on their own ability and determination to seize the opportunity. This is not a Simple things. This requires a lot of conditions to be fully met before it can be implemented. If it is not done well, the country will fall into disaster." Shangwen said at this time.

"You mean," King Qin asked.

"The Maritime Silk Road is indeed an opportunity for the six countries to regain their strength, but this opportunity is for those who are prepared. Countries without any preparations will be eliminated first." Shang Wen said.

"Qin is currently unable to develop the Maritime Silk Road, but this road does exist. I think that with the development of overseas business, countries will sooner or later discover the benefits of this passage. Instead of blocking it, it is better to dredge it." Shang Wen said.

"Moreover, the Land Silk Road cannot do without the assistance of the Maritime Silk Road. Similarly, the Maritime Silk Road cannot be separated from the influence of the Land Silk Road. The two channels coexist. Qin only occupies one of them. It doesn't completely occupy its channel." Shang Wen said.

"If Qin State occupies the land Silk Road for a long time, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among all countries. Under such dissatisfaction, they will inevitably develop the Maritime Silk Road. As a result, Qin State will fall into a passive state. Instead of being passive , it is better to seek the initiative and guide countries to enter the exploration of the Maritime Silk Road." Shangwen said with a wave of his hand.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"When you say this, I think of Zheng Guoqu." King Qin said.

"Korea used it back then. It cost Qin State ten years to build the Zhengguo Canal. Now, Guanzhong has benefited from the Zhengguo Canal. The strength of Qin State has greatly increased." Qin Wang said.

"En. If it hadn't been for the king's efforts to overcome all opinions. If he persisted, I am afraid that Qin would not be where he is today. King Qin's courage is unmatched. But now, in the six eastern countries, no one has such courage." Shang Wen It means to praise King Qin.

King Qin smiled slightly after listening.I accept Shangwen's compliment.

"The Maritime Silk Road can divert the attention of all countries to the sea, so that the defense on land will fall into a weak state, which is beneficial to Qin. At the same time, many countries compete for the Maritime Silk Road , just like a bone without meat thrown by the state of Qin. There is not much meat on this bone, but the six countries are a group of hungry dogs. Without food, they can only fight desperately for this bone without meat. They all went to loot, scramble, fight, and finally got the bone only to find that they didn't have much strength to digest the bone. However, Qin could easily get the last bone and a hungry dog ​​whose strength had been greatly weakened. In this way Qin should accept the benefits." Shang Wen said.

"Tell me specifically." King Qin's words eased.Said that he has accepted Shangwen's statement.After all, it is very convincing.

"The so-called Silk Road means that the main product is silk, but Qin State is not very special in producing silk. The main large-scale production of silk is in Chu State. In this way, Qin State needs to import a large amount of silk from Chu State. Then it was transported to the Western Regions for sale," Shang Wen said.

"In this way, Qin State has become a very important joint point. An important intermediate link." Shang Wen gestured with his hands.

"In this way, Qin State has an important central position. Since Qin State is in a central position, Qin State can use various means to operate. For example, Qin State can use the construction of railways as an excuse to control input and entry. The main gate of the Western Regions passage. In this way, Qin State can get a lot of tariffs. Because Chu State is in a passive situation, if Chu State wants to obtain more fiscal revenue, it must vigorously export silk, and Qin State can block the main road to collect Taxes, in this way, Qin will get a lot of taxes without doing anything," Shang Wen said.

"Wonderful." King Qin nodded.

"In addition, railway links are needed from the inland to the coast. As long as Qin controls the railway, it can lock a chain around the necks of all countries. The throats of all countries will be stuck alive. This is very important to Qin. The country is very beneficial." Shang Wen continued.

"In addition to these, it is the financial means of Qin State. Qin State can lend a lot of funds to other countries. At the same time, Qin State throws out a list of needed products. In order to solve the current financial difficulties, countries have to meet the needs on Qin State's list , and Qin can lend money to other countries, affecting the economic structure of each country.” Shang Wen said.

"For example, Qin State needs Zhao State's coal, and can vigorously develop Zhao State's coal and related industries. Qin State can properly export some technologies and let them develop coke. In this way, Qin State can bring in a large amount of coal, coke, and Other chemical products." Shang Wen said.

Qin Wang and Meng Yi kept nodding at the side.Because many things are not accepted all at once.Meng Yi served as the prime minister of Qin for a period of time, but he never thought about developing these things.Because he really can't connect everything together.Or, Meng Yi's associative ability was greatly restricted by the times.However, Shangwen does not have such constraints. His ideas are wild and unconstrained, which allows Shangwen to have a wider space.

For example, a Silk Road, Meng Yi only thought of loosening the smuggling trade into border trade, but Shangwen expanded it, brought up the Silk Road, and then connected the regional advantages of various countries to expand the border trade of Qin State, Maximization, there is a big difference. On this point, Meng Yi thinks it is not as much as Shang Wen thinks.

"In terms of export technology, Qin State will change the original way of exporting products to export capital. Qin State can invest the excess domestic funds in various countries to help them build factories. Whether it is a sole proprietorship or a joint venture, the final holding is all right. Yes. These are all methods. The most important thing is that Qin State controls more capital through holding shares. In this way, the capital of the six countries is also controlled by Qin State. The important thing is that the nobles have interests in their hands , Standing with the interests of the Qin State, I think, in the end they will not want to unify. It is beyond the control of the Qin State." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Why?" King Qin asked.

"En." Shangwen thought for a while.
