And in Xianyang Palace.King Qin is discussing this matter with Wei Liao.

"Judging from this report, the prime minister's opinion is very correct." Wei Liao said.

"Oh. Tell me." King Qin said at this time.

"According to what the prime minister said, the cost of our war is already very high. The cost we spent on logistics has exceeded the reasonable scope of the war. The logistics materials are very little used in combat, but the cost is very large In the past, we have not had such a situation. The areas where we fought in the past had sufficient logistical material support, but in today's situation, we are far away from our logistical support line, which means that our logistical material costs have increased Several times as much. This kind of situation has never happened before." Wei Liao said at this time.

"En. It seems that the Prime Minister has asked a very good question." King Qin said at this time.

"Moreover, the continuous rise in war costs puts a lot of pressure on our economy. In the current financial expenditure situation, a large sum of money is used for war costs. But the war has done a lot of useless things, which means that these The money was lost in vain, so the Prime Minister will bear a considerable financial responsibility." Wei Liao said.

"Perhaps from this point of view, the prime minister's thinking is correct." Wei Liao said at this time.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"Then what do you think? How did the Prime Minister resolve this war?" King Qin said while looking at Wei Liao.

"I think the prime minister can take a longer-term view." Wei Liao said at this time.

"Oh. What do you mean?" King Qin asked.

"The prime minister only saw one area, but not other areas, such as the east, north, and west, etc." Wei Liao said at this time.

"I think these areas can all be resolved in this way, instead of using a costly solution like war." Wei Liao said at this time.

"This is a brand-new strategy, and the cost is lower, and the problem may be solved more thoroughly. I think the prime minister has solved these problems with great foresight. Qin can completely get rid of the high cost of war." Wei Liao said at this time .King Qin smiled and nodded in approval after listening.

1294 Ending the War Unilaterally

"Today's Qin State, the land area has exceeded the land area of ​​any previous era of Qin State's expansion, but Qin State digested these land areas at an unprecedented slow rate. Qin State needs to operate on these lands for at least 50 years to truly transform. These lands belong to Qin State." Wei Liao said to King Qin at this time.

"In today's battle, Qin State is equivalent to fighting on its own land. Qin State has not digested these lands so far. This can be seen from the communication lines controlled by Qin State and the nearby areas. In this battle, Qin State can rely on the fast railway to fight , to complete the logistics supply. However, after our army is far away from the logistics supply line, it will quickly develop into a situation that is difficult for us to control. Although our frontline soldiers are brave, they cannot win the final war. Our war cost is already far higher than The cost of our war along the railway line. The current situation is not good for us, we should do what the prime minister said. Stop the war." Wei Liao said at this time.

"En. Stop the war." King Qin said at this time.

"The reason is that the cost of war is very high. If we follow the prime minister's method and adopt peaceful methods, such as using bribery to instigate conflicts within the enemy. Using economic aid and economic and trade methods, our communication lines can be quickly Extending to the areas they control, and with the influence of these areas, the cost of using military means to change our current unfavorable situation is too high." Wei Liao said.

At this time, Shang Wen was discussing a strange report, which was about food and market development.

"At present, the grain output of Qin State is increasing continuously, especially in the grain producing areas of Qin State. After the use of chemical fertilizers and some machinery and equipment, the grain output of Qin State has soared to the point that we can squander it for many years." The Minister of Agriculture said at this time.

"The surge in food has led to an unfavorable situation." The Minister of Agriculture made another report at this time.

"As a result, our grain futures have been at a low price for a period of time." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Yes, our food has affected the entire six countries." The Minister of Agriculture continued.

"Our food prices are extremely low, and there are constant wars and turmoil in the six countries. Our food is provided to these countries, regions, and people. Let them meet their food needs." The Minister of Agriculture said.

"En." Shangwen said while holding the report.Such a figure was indeed mentioned in this report. The latest population figure of Qin State's population is only over 1000 million, and there are a large number of newborns among them.Plus the immigrants from Qin.The number just passed 1000 million.However, the grain output of Qin State met the needs of a population of 5000 million. In addition to the extra grain, Qin State still had a large amount of grain backlogged in the Qin State market in addition to its war preparation reserves.If this part of the grain is backlogged for a long time, it will have a great hidden danger to the grain production of Qin State, because the long-term low price of grain has a lot to do with the enthusiasm of farmers to produce more grain. Shang Wen is very clear about this , Therefore, Shangwen ordered that Qin's grain be exported quickly.

"If these grains are not exported to the six countries, I am afraid that our grains will be backlogged, causing great losses to our farmers. We must take this into consideration." The Minister of Agriculture said.

"Exporting our surplus food to the six countries is to save our agriculture, and at the same time, it is to make no one of our same race hungry." Shang Wen said at this time.

"But. Prime Minister. I agree very much with saving our agriculture. And this is indeed effective. If it is not for the export of these grains." The Minister of Agriculture said.

"But. Prime Minister. Hunger still exists in the six countries, and we have not saved those people." The Minister of Agriculture said.

"Our food is very cheap, and the quantity is huge. Not only that, but we also have quality advantages. We can have many food processing factories, which can quickly process food into semi-finished products and finished products, but these foods have not yet arrived. We want to reach the people who want it," the Agriculture Secretary said.

"Well, what do you mean?" Shangwen asked at this time.

"What I mean to say is that the food from the Qin State did not reach the people we hoped to reach. We hoped to reach the people of the Six Kingdoms, but the food did not reach. In fact, only the army can consume these foods, and the army is ours. The main force of real consumption. And those civilians, they simply don’t have the purchasing power to buy our food. It can be said that they simply don’t have the ability to consume the cheap food we provide.” The Minister of Agriculture said at this time.

"What?" Shangwen made a serious logical error at this time, and he couldn't understand what the Minister of Agriculture said at all.

"I can't understand why?" Shang Wen asked incredulously at this time.

"It's really hard to understand." The Minister of Agriculture said at this time.

"But, this is a fact, Prime Minister," said the Minister of Agriculture.

"The people of the six countries can't afford our food at all. It can be said that they are a group with no consumption ability at all. The coins in their hands are different. At the same time, their consumption ability is very low. Most of their things only have some necessary items. They buy things from the market, such as salt. They have to consume these things, and most of the clothes they wear are made by themselves. Few of them use the products we provide, such as finished clothes. Or cloth ’ said the Minister of Agriculture.

"What's the reason?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"Their purchasing power is low?" said the Minister of Agriculture at this time.

"Oh. I see." At this moment, Shangwen suddenly realized that Shangwen came from a future society after all.Many such things have happened repeatedly in history.Production and consumption are an interdependent relationship. If one side is out of balance, it will inevitably lead to a big crisis.This kind of crisis has happened many times in human history. The factories produce too much food, but the consumption is very limited. In this way, the factories will be closed, but people still have no ability to consume. These commodities can only be destroyed.This has resulted in a large-scale waste of social resources.

"The imbalance between supply and demand will lead to serious things. This kind of thing has never happened in Qin, but we must admit it now."Shang Wen said at this time.

"So, Prime Minister, what shall we do now?" said the Minister of Agriculture.

Shangwen looked at the report at this time and said.What the Minister of Agriculture said was the truth, an indisputable fact. According to the records of Qin's grain exports, the main consumer of Qin's country was still the army, that is, the state's procurement, except for these, except for these.It is the purchase of a small number of merchants, but the people of the six countries simply cannot afford to buy these grains.This is a fact.Shangwen is very clear.

"The market of the six countries is still a small part of the market. The other part is controlled by the rich and powerful. The market is their country. We are simply expanding our production capacity, and our production efficiency is improving rapidly. This will be very fast. It will cause us to produce excess." Shangwen said.

"So, we need to develop more markets to meet our production needs." Shang Wen said at this time.

"If the market demand is insufficient, it will lead to insufficient consumption. This is too bad for us." Shangwen said.

"However, how to develop the market?" the Minister of Agriculture said at this time.

"Me." Shangwen waved his arms at this time.

"Unless we interfere in the politics of other countries and let them join in, there is no other way." Shang Wen said at this time.

Consumption demand is the first demand to expand production.Shangwen is very aware of this, so he needs to expand demand, but the market demand in Qin State is not very strong. Even though the Qin State market was developed earlier than the Six Nations market, developing a mature market requires a lot of energy.It costs very little to develop a potential market.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the markets of the six countries are underdeveloped.The low consumption level of the people of the six countries is a serious problem.

"This is a telegram request from our front line. The situation on the front line is very bad. The logistics supply is very chaotic, and the combat troops cannot be rested. This puts our operations at a disadvantage." A lieutenant colonel staff on the train Report to Wang Jian.

"En." Wang Jian nodded.Wang Jian is on the train returning to Xianyang, Qin State.

"So. The prime minister asked us to withdraw our troops?" Wang Jian asked.
