"En." Ying Yu nodded.

"When we were in Wuyue, we heard that you were quite chaotic over there." The crew member said.

"We have no choice. We can't survive here. The Chu people have increased their troops again. Our numbers are too small. We can't fight at all." Shitou said from the side.

"Oh. Chu State has increased its troops again." Said the crew.

"No wonder the state of Chu is in chaos." The crew continued.

"The state of Chu is in chaos." Ying Yu asked.

"En. No wonder the state of Chu is in chaos. This is another increase in troops and tax increases. The waterways of the Yangtze River are impassable. The nobles of the state of Chu levy taxes. It is worse than pirates and water robbers. People simply can't get through." Said the crew.

"There are also those manor slaves of the nobles. I heard that they were all captured and fought. There are not many people in the manor. People in the mining area killed many people. No. These people can't survive. They fought one after another. Yes. I heard that the troubles in Jiujiang are the worst. This is Chu State. I don’t know what to do.” Said the crew.

"En." Ying Yu nodded.

"When we came, some parts of Wuyue were also captured. However, some Chu people asked merchant ships to go overseas. We still have a few on board." Said the crew.

"These things. We still listen to them. However, these people are really pitiful." The crew member said.

"En." Ying Yu nodded.These things.It was the first time she had heard of it.When in Qi.She had no idea how big things were going on.The situation in Chu State is even less known.Hear the news.Ying Yu can only analyze it differently.

1641 Merchant armed forces are of great significance

Xianyang, Qin State.

"Your Majesty just came back. He is about to summon me." Meng Yi asked the assistant beside him suspiciously.

The assistant on the side didn't know what to say.He didn't know why.

"En. Let's go." Meng Yi also couldn't figure out the reason.Immediately set off to go.

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

"Tell me about the recent situation." After Meng Yi saluted.King Qin asked Meng Yi directly.

"Your Majesty." Meng Yi said, wanting to give King Qin a rest.But seeing the king of Qin persisting again and again.Didn't say anything either.

"The current situation in Qin State is not very optimistic. The problem of getting money is still relatively big." Meng Yi said directly.

"Since the reform of Prime Minister Shangwen, the situation in Qin State has become more and more complicated. But there are many benefits. The expansion of Qin State has also expanded a lot. And it suppresses the other party everywhere. This is also an advantage. But it is too dependent on money The state of Qin has to think about money everywhere." King Qin said.

"En. That's true." Meng Yi nodded.

"After Prime Minister Shang Wen's reforms, the main pressure of Qin State is on finances. The current situation is also a big financial problem. However, compared with the previous Qin State, the current situation is still more optimistic." Meng Yi said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"Qin State can gather funds by issuing bonds. It can also obtain more resources by regulating other aspects. These are things that Qin State could not think of before. Now Qin State has done it. The significance is still great." Meng Meng Yi said.

"Moreover, Qin's current taxation is not very heavy. It can be said that it is the lightest time in Qin's history. Qin's potential is huge." Meng Yi continued.

"That's true." King Qin nodded.

"Then let's talk about the recent situation." King Qin nodded and admitted.These are the status quo of Qin after Shangwen's reform.

"The state of Qin must avoid wars at present. Because of this, it will worsen the financial situation of the state of Qin. The tax revenue of the state of Qin has been reduced a lot. The main reason is that some enterprises are underoperated. There are many reasons for the underemployment of enterprises in the state of Qin. Now there is no unified and clear statement." Meng Yi said.

"The war in the north. The method you submitted is very good. However, you should also consider the military's opinion." King Qin said.

"This minister understands. But there is a big problem behind the northern war." Meng Yi said.

"For example, this time. If the Qin government wants to control the situation, it must mobilize mobile troops. However, Qin's current territory is vast and its troops are tense. When the mobile troops arrive, the situation has changed a lot." Meng Yi Speaking of.

"Moreover, if war breaks out, Qin will increase military spending. This will be extremely detrimental to Qin's finances," Meng Yi said.

"So. You thought of such a way." King Qin asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Such a method can indeed solve Qin's current problems." Meng Yi said.

"The Qin army already has a strong deterrent force. Its defense is already good. But if it continues to use troops, it will be very uneconomical." Meng Yi said.

"Qin's current military cost is too high." Meng Yi said.

"Continuous attacks will increase the cost of using troops and increase financial strength. The current Xiongnu and surrounding countries and tribes are not capable of large-scale confrontation with the Qin army. They mainly harass the Qin army on a small scale. It's not a big threat. But if the Qin army continues to fight like this, it will consume all of Qin's strength. This is very detrimental to Qin." Meng Yi said.

"Yes. This is indeed detrimental to the Qin State. Meng Tian also analyzed the reason. But if the Qin State is broken into pieces, the Qin army will not attack enough. And it is of little significance. The most important thing is that it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time. The military expenditure will increase. How much has not been calculated yet." King Qin obviously already had some calculations.

"So. I think that this kind of difficult bone should be handed over to businessmen. They can solve this problem very well. And they can also increase Qin's financial revenue. The most important thing is that businessmen can properly solve all problems. Therefore, the minister believes that the next step should be to increase such efforts on merchants, especially border merchants. The competition is enough to form a commercial monopoly group. In this way, Qin can not only control, suppress, and kill these foreign tribes, but also internally. It can generate a lot of taxes." Meng Yi said.

"The most important thing is that the state of Qin can further sell products from the Guanzhong area to these areas. In this way, the enterprises in Guanzhong will be able to start operations greatly." Meng Yi said.

"En." King Qin nodded.Thought it was a nice idea.

"But doing so will touch the military." King Qin said.Actually.This question was asked by King Qin himself.After all, after the merchants have mastered military power.The meaning is different.And still outside.It is also very complicated to control.This requires more energy.

"My lord. I don't think it's a problem. Merchants control the armed forces. It's just a kind of Qin's reserve force. After all, it's just Qin's militia. Their armed forces are very limited. And. Military expenses are self-sufficient. This requires high financial resources for them. Without such large financial resources, it will be difficult to support such a large number of troops." Meng Yi said.

"Their enemies are all nomadic tribes of the Xiongnu. Northwest. And the southwestern defense line. It's all like this. And the merchants have a lot of flexibility. If you can't attack, then trade. If you can't trade, then attack. This is very easy. Pull them together. If they can get the land, Qin can buy it. Weaken their control over the land by purchasing. The Qin army is the most important support behind them. Without the support of the Qin army, it is difficult for them to have a big This is very clear." Meng Yi said.

"En. But merchants have armed forces. What if they attack Qin instead." King Qin asked such a question directly.

"The military strength of the Qin army can suppress the armed forces of merchants." Meng Yi replied.

"What should I do if I can't suppress it?" King Qin asked directly.

"This." Meng Yi couldn't answer.

"It's good for merchants to arm themselves. But if Qin cannot control it, it will hardly become a major disaster. The border will be in turmoil again. This will be even more detrimental to Qin." Qin Wang said.

"But. I think that this matter has great significance to Qin. This significance is very great." Meng Yi said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"Because this matter is very big. I decided to find Prime Minister Shang Wen. Let Prime Minister Shang Wen solve this matter." King Qin said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.

Behind the arms trade in 1642

"Find Prime Minister Shang Wen," Meng Yi asked.

"It's just that I don't know where Prime Minister Shang Wen is at the moment," Meng Yi said with emotion.He also wanted to find Shang Wen, and Shang Wen would be able to clear up a clear view from such a complicated mess.

"The widow knows about this, but I am afraid that only he can solve the current situation." King Qin said.

The current situation in Qin State may only be resolved by Shang Wen himself.
