"It seems that Meng Yi is the prime minister. The weight of words is not very important. The current political situation in Qin State is that King Qin controls the overall situation. If this is the case, it is difficult to grasp the intentions of King Qin. The prime minister Meng Yi is not as good as Shang Wen. Shang Wen is the most important. At least he has his own opinion, Meng Yi, completely obeying King Qin's orders. In many things, he did not do well enough. This matter is probably difficult." Han Shu thought to herself.

"Minister Qin was assassinated and killed in South Korea. We will investigate as soon as possible and give a clear answer. We will thoroughly investigate this matter at all costs." Han Shu said.

"Then thank you Queen." Meng Yi said politely.

And the conversation that followed seemed very boring.South Korea did not ask specific matters.For example, things on bonds and so on.Meng Yi did not take the initiative to mention this matter, and it is impossible to draw a conclusion on this matter.These need to go back to the country for further discussions before reaching a conclusion.

Consulate General of Zhao State.

"Hmph." Guo Kai snorted nasally.

"If Qin Guo wants to talk about it, he won't talk about it." Guo Kai said to his subordinates.Guo Kai did not go to see the representative sent by Qin State, because he wanted to show Qin State color.However, Qin Guo just conveyed their intention not to hold a meeting, and then left without saying anything.This made Guo Kai look more boring.

"Prime Minister, we won't talk about the state of Qin. What does this mean?" A servant beside him asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" Guo Kai looked back at the other party, and the other party looked up at the other party.

"Hmph." Guo Kai felt very bored.

"We are also preparing to go back. Zhao Guo, there are still a lot of things to do." Guo Kai turned around and said.

The situation in Yan State was the same. Qin State was in such a hurry that Yan State felt very at a loss. He didn't know what happened to Qin State, and he wanted to cancel the meeting all at once.This made the Yan people unable to react at once.

Zhao State Handan.

"The current situation in Zhao State is very critical. There are riots everywhere. Zhao State is in a state of paralysis. If the tiger and wolf Qin State take advantage of the false attack, our Zhao State will be in danger of subjugation." An old minister stood up and said.Zhao Wang sat on the stage without energy.He was half asleep and half awake listening to the minister's discussion.Playing around with his concubine for several consecutive nights exhausted King Zhao's energy.King Zhao paid less and more attention to state affairs.He knows that as long as no one currently affects his power, it will be fine.

"Well. Externally, we must first internally. Those thugs made our Zhao country like this. If we want to deal with those Qin dogs, we must concentrate our forces to destroy these thugs. These thugs occupy the coal mines of our Zhao country. Occupying several of our important cities, some Zhao troops even participated in it, I would like to ask, General Li, what do you think of such an approach?" A high-spirited noble looked at Li Mu at this time and said.

But Li Mu didn't say anything at this time.He knew that the nobles in front of him were all nobles who launched an offensive against the mob. Unfortunately, their strength was very limited, and the fighting power of the nobles' private soldiers became vulnerable to the huge number of rioting miners.Only a few noble private soldiers are equipped with cannons, and most of the rest are melee weapons.

In the battle of the miners, the noble soldiers who lacked enough training were defeated by the miners without cannons.The noble private soldiers launched several consecutive attacks but were repelled, especially in the areas of Yunzhong and Julu where some regular troops fought with the miners. The intervention of the regular army made it impossible for the noble private soldiers to attack.As a result, the nobles attacked Li Mu one after another, and they thought it was Li Mu's fault.

"My troops, there is nothing wrong.".Li Mu said.

"It is said that our army was ordered to surround those miners, and the miners also intend to negotiate with our army. Our army plans to appease these miners. And the private soldiers of the nobles, at this time, do not obey orders, not only that, they pick quarrels and cause trouble. Disturbing right and wrong." Li Mu looked Looking at those nobles, those nobles looked down at Li Mu at this moment.Apparently they didn't agree either.

"Our army's strength is already very tense. Surrounding those miners has already made us nervous, but those private soldiers of the nobles even shot at us at this time. In desperation, our army had no choice but to shoot back, which finally caused our army to suffer heavy losses. I had no choice but to join the miners against the private soldiers of the nobles. The minister believes that the private soldiers of the nobles should obey the orders of the king. It is enough to defend the mansion, not to take the initiative to attack." Li Mu said.

"We are also defending the country of Zhao for the country of Zhao. To protect the safety of the king." Several nobles shouted loudly at this time.At this moment, King Zhao was pleasantly surprised. After looking at the situation in the audience, he saw several nobles shouting loudly at this moment.

"Hmph." Zhao Wang hummed dissatisfiedly after seeing those nobles, then closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep again.

"At present, these miners' riots must be resolved, otherwise Zhao Guo will be the next Qi State." A responsible minister stood up and said worriedly.

"The fundamental problem of the Zhao State is the taxation issue. If the taxation issue is difficult to solve, it will continue. Why did the miners riot? The reason for the riots is that the taxation is too heavy. The taxation of the Zhao State is too heavy." The minister said excitedly.

"The taxes are heavy, and the nobles don't have to pay taxes, which seriously aroused the dissatisfaction of these miners. I believe that if the nobles really consider Zhao Guo, they should pay taxes. First, it will increase the tax of Zhao Guo, and second, it can reduce The impact of this matter." The minister continued.

"So, I believe that at present, the problem of Zhao State is not at all the struggle between the Zhao army and the nobles' private soldiers, but the taxation of our Zhao State. The nobles do not pay taxes, and the miners' riots will continue to develop. If they are not stopped, A civil war will break out, in that case. Even if my Zhao army can defeat the Qin army, the one who will destroy our Zhao country is ourselves." The minister said at this time.

"En." Li Mu nodded at this time, expressing his approval.Li Mu also thinks that this matter is rooted in taxation. If it were not for taxation, the miners in Zhao State might not have such an outbreak.

"Your Majesty, this matter should reduce the tax of the miners in our country of Zhao. If the tax is not reduced, the country of Zhao is in danger." The rest of the ministers shouted loudly at King Zhao.

"Enough. Enough." King Zhao waved his hand at this time.

"This matter is the prime minister's business, why did you bring it here, prime minister, where is the prime minister?" Zhao Wang shouted loudly at this time, Zhao Wang still thinks this matter at this time, it is Guo Kai's business.

"Your Majesty," said an attendant at the side.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Guo is in Xinzheng, South Korea," said the attendant.

"Oh." King Zhao said oh, at this moment, he remembered that Guo Kai was in South Korea at this time.

"We will make a decision on this matter when the prime minister comes back," Zhao Wang said.

"Okay. That's it." Zhao Wang said impatiently.Then get up and leave.

Ministers and nobles saluted one after another.

State affairs of Zhao State are still procrastinating. King Zhao is also very clear about the collection of taxes, especially taxes on nobles, but King Zhao does not want to touch this matter, because the support of Zhao State is these The nobles, the privileges of the nobles are an important support for Zhao Guo to maintain its current state. Without this support, Zhao Guo would be difficult to maintain.King Zhao knew that his power came from the privileges of these nobles.

However, with the development of society, especially the special development of economy, Zhao Guo is transitioning from an agricultural country to a mining industrial country, and in the process of this transition.

In Zhao State, there is no one who has such a strategic idea. They just see that the current situation in Zhao State is wrong. The situation in Zhao State is that no one can see the future development situation clearly. There is a lack of military command talents, such as military generals like Li Mu, but what is lacking is a visionary politician.Zhao Guo, who lacks political foresight, will find it difficult for Zhao Guo to seize such opportunities in the great historical opportunities in the future, which is full of unknowns for Zhao Guo's future development.

1537 internal adjustments

"Your Majesty, we have reached a consensus on bonds this time. As long as we further open up our bond market and allow our banks to help these countries issue bonds and raise funds, we can solve the financial crisis of Zhao, Yan, and South Korea. They will owe a large amount of funds to Qin State Bank, and as collateral, the mineral resources, transportation, and important traffic arteries of these countries will all exist as collateral for Qin State, which is very beneficial to Qin State .” Meng Yi said.

Meng Yi quickly returned to Xianyang after explaining Qin's request for an emergency withdrawal from the meeting. Meng Yi, who had returned to Xianyang, rushed into Xianyang Palace before he had time to rest, and met the King of Qin to explain the matter clearly.

"Let's put this matter aside." King Qin said after listening to Meng Yi's words.

"Currently, Qin's problem is not just a bond issue, but the entire diplomatic direction." King Qin said.King Qin thought about the problem from a strategic point of view, and he found that Qin's foreign policy was extremely unclear, but it was so.Qin's diplomacy was originally very clear, that is, to make friends from afar and attack near.This is in line with the trend of annexing the world during the Warring States Period.

However, with Shangwen vigorously reforming the military, economy, education and a series of reform measures, the original strategy of far-distance and close-attack is no longer suitable for Qin.Qin's diplomatic strategy urgently needs to be changed.And Meng Yi, who is not yet rich in experience, didn't realize this, but Qin Wang did. Qin needs to quickly adjust his diplomatic strategy to match his current situation.

Qin's original strategy was to annex the world.Therefore, it mainly revolves around how to fight, the goal is clear and simple, so when formulating a strategy, there is not much consideration.But the current problem is that Qin's original strategy of fighting is no longer suitable.

"The current strategic situation of Qin State is very bad. At present, Qin State has no military power to expand rapidly, and the actual requirements do not meet Qin State's requirements." King Qin said.

Meng Yi nodded.On the other hand, Wei Liao stroked his beard and nodded.This is exactly what he analyzed. He found that if the strategy of long-distance and close-attack is implemented, Qin may fall into a catastrophic situation, which is a kind of damage to Qin itself.

Qin's economy has undergone great changes.From a traditional agricultural country, it is becoming an industrial power. This kind of industrial power is relatively speaking, but the industrial foundation has already taken shape.

With the major changes in the economic system of Qin State, the traditional strategy has become unbearably backward, which seriously restrains Qin State's hands and feet.

"Qin's long-distance and close-attack strategy is already suitable for the current situation. Qin has undergone fundamental changes. The domestic situation is no longer suitable for large-scale wars. This point has been repeatedly explained by Prime Minister Shang Wen." King Qin said.

Meng Yi was a little puzzled.

"The state of Qin is now fighting, not food, but a lot of money. Financial revenue and expenditure have become an important pillar of the war." Wei Liao introduced.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.This point, he suddenly understood.Qin's current form of warfare does not rely on food. In previous wars, all the people were soldiers, and Qin recruited soldiers in the same form as militias.Usually they are peasants, once a war starts, they are soldiers, they can quickly become a combat force of Qin State, the existence of such a combat force allows Qin State to annex the world.But it is obvious that Qin State can no longer do this.

In the past, the country only distributed rations to soldiers.Soldiers who fight bravely on the battlefield can get titles, but currently, titles have been essentially abolished. Although some titles are still retained, these are only honorary titles, and Qin people are very substantive.The Qin people found that in the current standing mode, the Qin people can obtain the greatest benefits in the war.The gains from the spoils of war far exceeded the substantial gains from the knighthood.

Not only that, but the people of Qin also discovered that with the change of the war mode, the national government is responsible for all logistics and supply issues, because bullets need to be supplemented by a unified bullet supply, and there are only large-scale enterprises in railway transportation. Under the guidance of the national government, Complete large-scale logistical supply missions.With the changes in logistics and transportation of materials, it is these changes that Qin must make changes.

Financial problems have become the root of all problems. Qin's economy has no problems, and Shang Wen has laid a good foundation for Qin.

"Financial expenditure has always been a big problem. Qin's financial resources are very limited now. Qin can only concentrate its military and financial resources to fight on one front." This is the problem that Qin must face, the problem of financial expenditure .The direction of fiscal expenditure is the direction of Qin in the next stage.

"It is impossible for Qin to fight on multiple fronts at the same time." King Qin said.
