"Recently, South Korea imposed tariffs on wheat and flour from Qin State. This is very unfavorable to us. The price of our wheat flour is the same as the price of the other party's own domestic production. In this way, we still have transportation costs, sales costs, In this way, our wheat export will be very problematic." The Minister of Economy said at this time.
"En." Meng Yi nodded.
"This point is indeed a big problem." Meng Yi nodded and said. ∩ Yi carefully calculated the words of the Minister of Economic Affairs.
The main grain currently produced in Qin State is no longer millet.Instead, it becomes wheat.The state of Qin adopted the farmer system to grow wheat on a large scale.Qin's wheat area has reached an astonishing 5000 million mu of wheat cultivation area, which is completely enough for the people of Qin to consume.But the people of Qin are still not satisfied. With the great expansion of the Western Regions, the people of Qin are immigrating to the Western Regions rapidly. Such immigration allows Qin to expand a larger space to grow wheat. Qin farmers believe that there are more Food is a very good thing.Therefore, the number of wheat planted and the growth rate of planting far exceeded the demand of Qin State. The consequence of such a huge supply was that the quantity and price of wheat in Qin State remained very low.The price of Qin State futures wheat has not exceeded the first figure since the first day, which is a great spectacle in the Qin State futures market.The huge supply has kept Qin's wheat at a low price for a long time, which is not conducive to the production of Qin's wheat.For this reason, Qin State exported a large amount of wheat to the markets of the six countries, and Qin State's wheat hit the markets of the six countries at extremely low prices.The demand of the six countries grew rapidly under the stimulation of Qin's wheat.
Judging from the current huge wheat reserves, Qin is eager to export these wheat in trade.
"We can bring it up in this meeting." Meng Yi continued.
"But hope is not too great. The South Korean side has been imposing tariffs on Qin's wheat." The Minister of Economy continued.
"En. I see. So what about Zhao Guo and Yan Guo," Meng Yi continued to ask.
"The demand in these two countries is very strong. They have not imposed any tariffs on Qin's wheat, and they are still buying in large quantities. Qin's wheat can be transported into Zhao to buy a high price, or it can be directly exchanged for a large amount of coal. . This is the wheat-for-coal scheme," the economy minister said.
Zhao's food production was completely destroyed by the nobles.The nobles merged a large amount of land to grow wheat, but the income of wheat decreased significantly, mainly because the low price advantage of Qin State wheat impacted the land income of the nobles. Although the nobles opposed the massive import of Qin State wheat, Qin State wheat was indeed Windfall profits.
Think about it, it is impossible for people not to eat every day. Since they want to eat, they need a lot of food, but Zhao Guo blindly followed Qin to learn and also established farms. As a result, the land was highly concentrated, and the people of Zhao who lost their land Becoming unemployed, they were forced to enter the city, or work in coal mines. They became cheap labor for the development of Zhao Guo's coal mines.
At this time, the labor force on the land was basically taken out to enter the field of mining, which caused Zhao's agriculture to be basically abandoned.Coupled with the high concentration of mergers and acquisitions of land, farmers lost their land.Under the influence of the high cost of agricultural cultivation and the decrease in benefits, the food produced by Zhao's agriculture can no longer meet the needs of the country. Under such circumstances, Zhao can only rely on the import of wheat from Qin.
"The situation of Yan State is similar to that of Zhao State, but there are some differences. Their country needs to recover. It's not that they don't produce food, but they can't recover in a short time." The Minister of Economy said.
"Well, we continue to export grain to the two countries. If the grain exports continue, the agriculture of the two countries will not be able to recover quickly. Their grain is in our hands. At that time, the problems of the two countries will be very serious. It's too big. We should increase our efforts to export grain to the other party." Meng Yi continued.
"Then, that's next," said the economy minister.
"Qi State. Qi State's problems are more serious." The Minister of Economy continued.
"Qi State needs all kinds of materials, we can certainly meet them, but transportation, transportation is a big problem. If we promise to send materials to the people of Qi State, our transportation cost will be much higher than what we send them Materials, this will drag down Qin State. Qin State absolutely cannot agree in this regard." The Minister of Economy said so.
Meng Yi didn't say anything, and he also knew that it was nothing to transport some materials, but the cost of delivery was much higher than the value of the materials themselves, which was a high cost for Qin.This is why many countries are very keen on building railways, but they are not very interested in transporting materials.
"The people of Qin are very smart." Han Shu said after hearing the content of the meeting report.
"They can pass on the financial pressure of their markets by controlling the issuance of bonds and then developing the markets of various countries. In this way, the money we get in our hands is likely to be our own money. Such money is not as good as We issue bonds ourselves." After thinking about it for a while, Han Shu decided that this was another trick of the Qin State.
The people of the state of Qin are helping themselves to issue bonds in name. Han Shu is not disgusted with bonds, but what is disgusted is Qin's large-scale speculation on bonds. Great suspicions arose about the motives of the country.
"And this time, Qin Guo offered to help us establish a stock and securities market." Zhang Liang raised such an important point at this time.
"Well, what do the people of Qin want to do," Han Shu asked Zhang Liang at this time.
Zhang Liang swayed, expressing that he didn't know.
"Well, according to the people of Qin's own interest, they want to help us establish a securities market and allow their capital to participate in it. People from Qin's stock come to us for sale, and we can participate in the dividends shared by Qin's stock. .” Han Shu said.
"En." Zhang Liang nodded.
"In this way, our South Korean funds were also mobilized by the Qin State, and after the people of the Qin State sold the stocks, they quickly took the money and left. After leaving, what we hold in our hands is the stock, which is actually a stock." A piece of paper." Han Shu said.
"No, such a thing must never happen again in South Korea." Han Shuye refused.
"South Korea must stop the people of Qin from doing this. It's too dangerous to do so. If we follow the method of the people of Qin, on the surface we can see that the people of Qin are treating us well, but in fact, Qin is using their means to control us. .We can't do this now." Han Shuyi said.
"This is very unfair to us." Han Shu continued.
"We cannot accept such an unknown request from Qin." Han Shu flatly refused.
"En. I think so too." Zhang Liang put forward his own opinion at this time.
In his opinion, it is very terrifying for the people of Qin to plunder by means of financial means. The behavior of the bond market last time has shown Zhang Liang how terrifying this method is. Many people are burdened with heavy debts to maintain their wealth during the year. This is not a small burden for South Korea, and such a burden is too great for them.
"The people of Qin are very proactive when they master this method, but South Korea will lose the initiative if they follow Qin so closely, and become the target of Qin's slaughter. We, South Korea, should be on guard as soon as possible. Don't participate in it, so as to avoid the situation like last time. .” Zhang Liang expressed his opinion.
"En. The prime minister is right." Han Shu nodded in praise.
"It's really too much for the people of Qin to do this." Han Shu said dissatisfied.

1513 Reversed Situation
"These people seem to be from Qi." Shang Wen whispered to Mo Li.At this time, the two crawled not far away and secretly looked at those mysterious people. These people, judging from their clothes and behavior, looked like Qi people.This is Shang Wen's judgment.But Mo Li disdains this very much.
"Squeak." At this time, Shang Wen saw a group of Chu soldiers approaching on the road where the Qi people were ambushing. It was the logistics supply convoy of the Chu army, and the convoy consisted of more than 100 ox carts.The soldiers of the Chu army who were in charge of the escort were dozing off in the car.And those recruited folk husbands drove the ox carts to deliver supplies.These supplies filled these ox carts.
"Those Qi people seem to be ambushing each other." Shang Wen finally understood what the other party's intention was.These civilian-looking people hold extremely simple weapons, and only a considerable number of people hold muskets.The rest held cold weapons, crossbows, and various tools, shovels, picks, hoes and so on.Obviously, the opponent's weapons and equipment are very backward.
"Hush." Mo Li glared at Shang Wen.
"If you continue like this, the ambush will fail." Mo Li whispered to Shang Wen at this time.
Shangwen closed his mouth and nodded.
"Zhizhi, the ox cart is moving very slowly. There are not only a lot of supplies on the cart, but also Chu soldiers, and the road is difficult to walk. The ox cart is extremely difficult to walk. The solid wooden wheels make a creaking sound.
Shangwen saw the forward of the bullock cart stepping into the defense that the Qi people had ambushed little by little.
"Bang." Just when Shang Wen saw that the Chu army was about to enter the ambush circle, the Qi people fired at once, and a clear gunshot sounded immediately.
"Bang. Bang bang." Then there was the sound of gunfire.
Some soldiers of the Chu army were still asleep, and they were hit by musket bullets and fell to the ground and died.Others wailed in pain after being hit.
"Moo." The cow let out a terrified cry.But the soldiers of the Chu army didn't care about these at all at this time.
"Enemy attack." A Chu army officer wearing a helmet shouted loudly.
"Whoosh." At this moment, an arrow shot him in the chest.The Chu army officer covered his wound and fell on the ox cart full of supplies.
"Kill." The shout of killing suddenly came at this time.Those Qi people with hoes, shovels, and picks rushed into the Chu army's convoy holding their weapons.
"Bang." A Chu soldier hid behind the bullock cart in horror, and fired in a panic.
"Pfft." A Qi national who rushed to the front was shot and fell to the ground.
"Kill." Blood splattered on the Qi people behind.But they still shouted and rushed over, such a charge.It made the soldiers of the Chu army feel terrified.
"Ah." The Chu soldier panicked and wanted to put the bayonet on, but it was too late.The tense and stiff movements kept the bayonet colliding with the muzzle of the gun.Such an action gave the people of Qi a good opportunity.A man from the state of Qi hit the opponent's stomach with a shovel in his hand.The soldiers of the Chu army yelled in pain.
"Kill." The soldier of the Chu army felt a stomachache, dropped the rifle in his hand and bent down, and a Qi man behind him swung a shovel and slapped him on the head.
"Boom." There was a dull sound of a shovel hitting a hard object.The Chu army soldier's head was slapped all of a sudden, causing blood to splatter.Blood flowed out of the Chu soldier's eyes instantly, and then he fell to the ground in pain.
