"This is also an important reason for Qin's incident," Shang Wen suggested.And Ying Yu listened quietly from the side.King Qin nodded in approval.

"The Prime Minister's idea is feasible." Meng Yi said at this time.

"If these situations occur in the bank as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will save a lot of losses." Meng Yi said.

"En." King Qin nodded in approval.

"In addition, it is to introduce a series of measures to curb Qin's excessive speculation." Shang Wen said.

"Qin's financial speculation is too prosperous. Although speculation cannot be avoided. They can activate the market and add necessary economic vitality to the market, but now, their speculation has caused a great impact on Qin's economic activities. Influence." Shang Wen said at this time.

"En. Does the prime minister have any specific measures?" King Qin asked at this time.

"Not yet." Shang Wen replied directly.

When Ying Yu heard such an answer at this time, she directly covered her face.Naofumi's answers are never surprising.

"En. I see, Meng Yi will be in charge of this matter for the time being. The prime minister can cultivate himself." King Qin said directly.

This is obviously to keep Shang Wen from interfering in this matter.

"Idiot. Your position is a bit dangerous." Ying Yu said at this time.

"Oh. I know." Shang Wen said at this time.

Although King Qin agreed with Shang Wen's idea.However, Shangwen could not come up with specific measures and plans.This made King Qin feel very embarrassed.On the contrary, Meng Yi was able to come up with specific measures. This measure was to exchange gold for banknotes. The amount of gold in the Qin market was already quite large.Qin's two external expansions intensified the increase in the amount of Qin's gold.Coupled with the extremely active trade of Qin State, gold from the six countries entered Qin State on a large scale.Qin State has never been short of gold.This is a very good thing for Qin.But at the same time, another thing was buried, that is, the excessive import of gold meant that Qin would face potential currency inflation.Currency inflation is the most important factor Shangwen considers in controlling paper money issuance.

King Qin naturally didn't think about these things, and he didn't go back and take the initiative to think about them.Because he doesn't understand it at all.

1175 Public riots

I don't understand King Qin.Shangwen expressed helplessness.But this high-level meeting quickly determined Meng Yi to be in charge of this matter.Shang Wen could only stand by and watch.perhaps.Shang Wen was originally unwilling to participate in this matter.

Just when Qin State resolved the domestic crisis.A startling change is taking place in the far east.

"Taxation." A Qi official held a pistol.He stretched out his thick arms and said.

"Tax again?" asked an old farmer.

"What nonsense? Hurry up and pay the money." As he spoke, the officials were about to reach out to snatch it.

"My lord, please do me a favor. I only have today's money. I just got this money from blacksmithing. There is no ration in the house." The old farmer immediately fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

"No way. We are also ordered to run errands, and we don't care about other things." At this moment, the official reached out to grab the old farmer's clothes.

"My lord, I beg you." The old farmer hugged the official's thigh and continued to beg for mercy.

"No." The official sternly refused.

"You'd better let me go, if you don't let go, I won't be polite." At this time.The official shook his thigh and said.But the old farmer just wouldn't let go of his arm.

"Release." The official yelled loudly.

"No way. The whole family has no rations. This is our life." The old farmer said at this time.

"Who is this?" The people on the side gathered around and said at this time.

"Don't you know? It's the old masked head from Xitou Village." A woman interjected at this time.

"That family is miserable." At this time, the woman said.

"I heard that his family's three sons were all arrested and sent to serve in the military. The eldest son died in battle not long after he got married. I heard that he died from some kind of poisonous gas. When he died, it was miserable. The eldest daughter-in-law is still pregnant with the child. The second son was also arrested and served in the army not long ago. He also died. No, the younger son was also arrested not long ago. He is not yet married. What a wonderful boy. What a pity Ah." The woman said with a puckered mouth.

"Oh, that's right. Then how does this family live?" A scholar asked at this time.Scholars do not have to pay taxes, and at the same time they do not have to perform military service or corvee service.

"That's not true. This old man has his head covered. Blacksmithing others alone. How tiring it is. I only earn such a little money to support the family. There is no way, the family still has a daughter-in-law and a grandson. The grandson is still breastfeeding." The woman said this time to continue.the heavens

"Crack." Just in the middle of speaking.A crisp whip sound came.

"Old and immortal." The official took out his own whip and beat Lao Meng's back fiercely. The clothes on his back were immediately torn apart under the whip, and the force of the whip was very strong.When it was big enough to pull the clothes open, there were still bleeding wounds inside.

"Release me." The official still waved his arms and shouted loudly.

"My lord, it can't be done. My family only has this little money. The child has nothing to eat, and if there is no food, there will be no milk. My family is just like this. Pity us." The old mask was crying at this time Said.

"Hey. This family is really miserable. Just take pity on them." At this time, the people began to persuade them.

"No." The official said loudly at the people around him at this time.

"I tell you, no one can control this matter. The taxes that should be paid are all paid. Anyone who does not pay is a sinner." The official threatened at this time.With this threat, everyone around did not move.

"Hey. I can't control this matter. This country of Qi is going crazy. It also pays taxes. It also pays taxes. This tax is endless." An older person from Qi said at this time.

"That's right, this country of Qi is at war every year. We are the ones who fight. Alas." Another Qi countryman sighed.

"When will this war be so big?" the older Qi people said helplessly.The successive years of wars have greatly consumed the national strength of Qi.Qi State, whose national power was extremely exhausted, had to increase the taxation of the people.The Qi State is exhausting all the power of the whole country in this protracted, meaningless war with no chance of winning.

"It's all about this war. Qi State has become less like Qi State." The people of Qi State said themselves.

"Release quickly and hand over the money that should be paid to me." At this time.The official beat the old hooded head again severely.The old Mengtou didn't have enough strength, lying on the ground, with bloodstains on his back.There are patches of blood on the face, it seems.The old hooded man no longer looks like he can do it anymore.

"My family really can't do it. We can't pay this tax anymore. For the last seedling of my family. I can't pay it either. If you beat me to death, I can't pay it either." Old Mengtou said at this time.

"You are an official. You are simply inhumane. This old hooded man is already like that. You are still so aggressive. Let others live. The state of Qi is already like this. What else can we do?" At this time, a soldier wearing a sword Zi stood up and said.This scholar looks very elegant, and the saber is just a decoration for him.During the Warring States period in ancient times, the wind of saber prevailed.All men wear swords.Enemies and family members

Although the appearance of the pistol quickly weakened Qin's saber wind.But in the East.Scholars still keep this tradition.The sword is a symbol of literati.The significance of carrying a gun is far less than that of a sword.

"Hmph. Scholars, you have too much control. This is the government's business. Naturally, the government will take care of it." At this time.said the official.In fact, the officials of Qi State are subordinate to their government.On the other side, they sometimes belong to the local nobles.The essence of taxation is that the government gets a small part to conduct state affairs, while a large part becomes the private property of the nobles.

During the continuous war in Qi State.The nobles of Qi State did not give up this opportunity to make a fortune in war.They took the opportunity to extort money.They levy high taxes.These taxes made them richer and richer.And the people.But getting poorer and poorer.In Qi, serious polarization has emerged.One end was extremely comfortable, but the other end couldn't even eat.

"If you can't control it, you have to control it." At this moment, the scholar suddenly pulled out his sword.

"Hey." The official smiled coldly at this time.

"When is it? I still use a saber. See what I use?" At this time, the official took out his own gun.The officials pointed their guns at the scholars.

"It's your sword that is faster, or my gun. I will buckle it. You will die." The manager said disdainfully.In the age of the musket, the role of the saber is diminishing.The usability of the sword is getting lower and lower, and the saber can no longer keep up with the needs of the times.And the literati's approach seems to be like this, they can no longer adapt to this era of fast guns.Speed ​​is far more useful than decoration.

"Death is not a pity." The scholar said.

"Hmph. Hard-spoken." The official said disdainfully.

The scholar didn't say anything.

"Slap." As he spoke, the official slapped the old masked head again.

"What if I beat you?" the official said provocatively.
