Then the prime ministers began to order the secretariat to sort out the documents and send these matters to Qin State
Office of the Prime Minister of Shangwen in Xianyang, Guanzhong, Qin State Shangwen’s office is still in his original place. Although the main office of Qin State has been unified in an office building in the new district, Shang Wen believes that the prime minister of Qin State should maintain the proper simple style. So he decided to postpone the relocation of the prime minister's office. The prime minister's office is still here, but in fact, the main office of the state of Qin has been transferred to the office. In the comprehensive office building, because with the rapid increase of economic affairs, the Prime Minister's Mansion of Qin State has established many departments. These departments have their own responsibilities, and the Prime Minister's Office is the central department that coordinates these departments. Therefore, the affairs of the Prime Minister are more comprehensive and particularly needed. The mutual cooperation of various departments requires the integration of all departments to speed up the efficiency of affairs, which is very important to the state of Qin.
"Dong dong" at this time the office door rang
"Come in" Shang Wen said
"Prime Minister, this is an urgent telegram from South Korea. They have encountered a new diplomatic incident and need us to deal with it." The secretary said and put several thick telegrams on Shangwen's desk.
"It's from South Korea." Shangwen put down the pen in his hand and said
"Sent to South Korea," said the secretary
"Okay, let me see," Shangwen said
While talking, Shangwen opened the thick telegram content
Shangwen quickly checked the information reflected on the telegram. The content of the information is very large.
The "Republic" Shangwen immediately laughed when he saw the news of the Republic in the telegram. He felt very unbelievable. This was beyond his expectation. He did not expect that there would be a war-torn era like the Warring States Period in this era. A republic that's way beyond Shangbun's comprehension
"It's unbelievable," Shangwen said.
"A republic appeared unexpectedly!" Shang Wen exclaimed
Naofumi’s understanding is that only his era can understand this kind of republic system. Of course, the West at the same time is the era of the Roman Republic. Maybe this era is the era of the most prosperous Roman Republic, but the era that Shang Wen is facing is unexpectedly born like this It has to be said that this gave Shang Wen a big surprise
Out of curiosity, Shangwen carefully read all the contents of the telegrams. The telegrams were sent from a Korean perspective and tone. To some extent, these telegrams more or less contained Koreans’ own views, which means that this telegram will affect the people of Qin. the opinion of
Shangwen read this telegram with great interest. Shangwen has his own views on the contents of the telegram.
"It's really not easy for a republic to emerge in this era, but the timing of this republic's emergence is too coincidental. No one likes this kind of government, and no one is willing to cooperate with such a republic, because they have no king, and they have no royal power. People are willing to help them," Shang Wen said while looking at the telegram
In fact, Shang Wen pointed out the key point. This is the key point of the republic. There is no king's allegiance, which is an important reason why many royal countries are unwilling to cooperate with it.
Why did Han Shu, when she received an emergency telegram from the Republican Army, give an order to tell her people not to act rashly and watch the Republican Army be defeated instead of actively ordering her army to help them?
Because they are the Republican Army, they have no object of allegiance, that is to say, they have no king, their army is only loyal to their own country, and has no sense of who they are loyal to. This consciousness is very advanced, which greatly exceeds everyone's understanding, and that is exactly what Han Shu decided. don't work with it because it's too risky
Kingship is a symbol of a country. Kingship represents a country. Kingship is a symbol of a country. Without kingship, it is not a country. In this era, all national consciousness is kingship consciousness. At this time, a country that is not national consciousness suddenly appeared, and this country is known as The will of the citizens is the will of the state
The position of royal power has been completely abandoned in the past, which is a threat to this era, a threat to challenge the royal power
In the era of royal power, no one likes a country where the will of the citizens is the will of the country, especially the traditional countries such as King Qin and King Han. Although the republic system is very reasonable in Shang Wen’s view, in this era, this system is an anti-social consciousness. This awareness is very dangerous
These kings can have new research in science and technology and can carry out bold innovations in the system, but in terms of national control, they will never allow a new system to exist. This is the republic system, which is why the republic system is not liked. reason
"All the kings will oppose it, and no one will tolerate the existence of such a country," Shangwen said
"Oh!" Shang Wen sighed
"If I advocate helping, then other ministers must oppose it and the reasons are very good. This is a republic and their system is different from ours. This will affect the royal power," Shang Wen said.
"I have to find a way to keep this system, at least let him have a good chance of survival," Shang Wen said
"What should we do?" Naomi said looking at the telegram
"There is only one way I am against arousing the support of others to oppose at all costs" Shangwen thought at this time
"Only by opposition can this republic have any hope of survival," said Shangwen. After finishing speaking, he immediately sat down and picked up a pen to draft a report. This report is about the treatment of this new republic. This method is explained in terms of objections. of
1014 wrong, wrong direction!
"This Xinchen Republic is a brand-new system that exists only in the most idealized state. Villages, and the ideology of this country is different from ours. They are not loyal to the king. Such a country has no sense of royal power. Such a country exists. It is a huge shock to those countries that have the loyalty of the king," Shang Wen wrote in the report
"This seems to be saying, let's see, there are kings who don't need to be loyal, so how sad it will be for us to have one more king," Shang Wen wrote in the article
"This is challenging the royal power. If we support it, it is like telling the king that it does not exist, so the existence of this country is superfluous. It is very dangerous. So I think this country, Qin, should adopt a closed approach and let it go. Let it fend for itself, Qin should not extend a helping hand to it," Shang Wen said
"Besides, Qin State's current strength is not enough to extend our hand to a place across a country. It is really unnecessary. If it is possible, then Qin State will not get anything, and Qin State needs to solve it now. There are a lot of problems. The solution to these problems is very difficult. The problems in the north need to be reconsidered. The domestic economic problems and defense expenditures also need to be balanced. Qin should focus on domestic rather than foreign countries. Qin should slow down foreign operations. so that Qin can accumulate strength for the next round of combat," Shang Wen wrote in the report
In the report, Shang Wen also wrote other content, mainly the main advantage of reducing military expenditure. Huge military expenditure will impose a great burden on the economy. Qin is currently implementing a low tax policy. This policy is beneficial to encourage the economic development of Qin, but it is a burden. The effect is that the overall level of the country's fiscal revenue is not high. Although it has increased, it is still beyond the means. Low taxes can certainly bring economic prosperity, but the fiscal revenue will be under great pressure. Shangwen's government expenditure is hovering in this low tax range. Taxation is an important magic weapon for the second rise of the Qin State. Shangwen relied on this to make the rapid rise of the Qin State
You must know that Europe practiced mercantilism for a period of time, and they reduced and exempted a lot of taxes for businessmen. These taxes gave these countries strong economic vitality, and these economic vitality created national legends one after another. Shang Wen hoped that among such economic vitality Create a Qin miracle
Obviously Shang Wen's idea is correct, but Qin State is a bit overwhelmed at the moment because the huge foreign expenditure has exhausted Qin State's treasury. When Qin State's treasury is exhausted, private capital is developing rapidly. This is exactly what Shang Wen said he wanted to see. The original phalanx of the Qin State is being completely reversed. According to Shang Jun’s theory, a strong country and a rich people are opposites, and Shang Wen is making the people rich at the cost of weakening the country’s power. At the same time, Shang Wen has also established a complete system of national armed forces. to strengthen this country
Shangwen’s thinking is based on his own thinking. No one will understand what he thinks. He is dealing with current affairs with a sense of historical responsibility.
It was very late when I finished writing this. Shangwen turned off the lights and stood alone in front of the window. The country of Qin outside the window already has the appearance of a modern city. There are many high-rise buildings and a large number of buildings are under construction. Those electric lights are like stars in the sky. This country re-exudes a modern atmosphere. This country is very similar to that country, but there are still many historical roads to go. No one knows in the future.
Naofumi thought so much this night, Naofumi thought a lot, maybe it was the emergence of this republic that made Shangwen's thoughts heavy
And in the far south a merchant ship is sailing on the sea
"Hua la la la la la" the waves are very high and the ship may be flipped into the sea by the waves at any time
And the sailors on the ship are holding on tightly to the cables. Huge waves can easily suck them into the sea. If so, they will not even have a chance to live.
"Can you see the coast?" At this time the captain asked loudly. The first mate became the new captain, he will control the safety and navigation of the entire ship. Only by returning to the civilized world can they realize their dreams of wealth.
"I can see a little bit," said a sailor lying on the height of the mast
"Well, that's fine," said the captain.
"We can go back to the civilized world by walking along the coastline." At this time, the captain said that he heard that many ships rely on the coastline as a traffic indicator so that they can quickly find their way home. And the place where wealth is discovered. At the beginning of this nautical age, people have not yet mastered accurate geographic surveying and mapping technology, especially Chu State, they rely on the experience of captains, while Qin State has accurate surveying technology, but they are mainly used for land. It is not the ocean, but Chu State does not have such a developed education system and surveying and mapping system, so they can only rely on experience. The most terrifying thing about sailing is the loss of reference objects. The method is to explore along the coastline. Obviously, they chose the simplest and most time-effective reference method. This way is to follow the coastline.
The captain apparently also thought that they could return to their country as long as they returned north along the coastline, so that they could get more wealth by selling the slaves full of the ship. This is what they thought.
"How long do we have to go?" At this time, some Korean mercenaries couldn't bear the huge bumps, which made it difficult for these mercenaries from the mainland. They couldn't resist the dizziness brought by the boat. It wasn't just them. Even the slaves can't bear it. Many slaves haven't eaten for many days, and many people are already sick. The mercenaries can't bear the bumps.
"Soon," said one crew member at this point
"I can't take it anymore," said a mercenary
"Ah" said that the mercenary vomited, and the crew could only walk away in disgust. This kind of thing happens every day, and the crew and the strange mercenaries have not been used to this kind of sea after being here for so long. It's really strange for them to live in a place where they have to adapt for a long time.
Moreover, after sailing, they have no strength to fight
And the Korean businessman was extremely anxious on this boat because he felt that something was wrong there. He always felt that his boat took a long time. Make businessmen unable to get a reliable sense of security for a long time
After a tense night, the next day was calm and the white clouds in the sky drifted around like sheep on the prairie, with the salty smell of the sea, which made the crew feel a little bit excited. After all, it was a good weather. With good weather, they can quickly the return of
"It's bad, I can't see the coastline anymore!" At this time, the lookout post on the top of the mast shouted loudly
"What?" Hearing this amazing news, the captain broke out in cold sweat
"I can't see the coastline" at this time the watchman shouted loudly
