"Additionally, Qin's unification will inevitably cost a greater price," Shang Wen said.

"That's why I think it's better to combine the two for unification," Shangwen said.

"The two merged," King Qin said.

"To merge the two," Naofumi said

"Qin is currently able to unify the six countries without a unified war, that is, without relying on military conquest," Shang Wen said.

"Is the prime minister joking?" a minister asked at this time

"Hey, you can make a joke," Shang Wen said with a smile

"We divide these surrounding countries to attract our allies to join the battle. We give them certain colonies, and these places are all on the periphery of our Qin State. At the same time, we require them to implement a free parliamentary election state system in the colonies. We can influence these colonies along our national borders, and finally achieve the purpose of annexing the colonies for unification, and the six countries spend money to launch colonial wars. For us, we want to reap the fruits of their colonial wars," Shang Wen said.

"The prime minister has said this method before, but there is a big problem with this method," Wei Liao said.

"Oh, what's the question?" King Qin asked

"We need to spend a lot of time to unify," Wei Liao said

"I think time is much better for us than losing a lot of people and causing huge losses, and at the same time making our country lack a centripetal force, that is, a weak cohesion," Shang Wen said

"Even if Qin is to unify the six countries by force, if there is no strong cohesion, then Qin will not be able to maintain a good situation after unification. We can unify the entire six countries, but we should pay more attention to the problems after unification," Shang Wen said, waving his arms.

Wei Liao is a Guowei who must have long-term considerations in terms of strategy. He agrees with Shangwen's thinking because Shangwen's considerations are tenable in terms of time, and his thinking is relatively long-term, while his own consideration is only how Unification and Shangwen directly considered the problems after unification

In fact, it’s not Shangwen’s long-term considerations, but he is trying his best to avoid a bleak situation. Qin exhausted its national power and waged a unification war, but it turned out to be nothing. As a result, the empire quickly fell into a desperate civil war after a short period of unification. In order to avoid such a civil war, Shangwen did his best. He wanted to let this country form a new cohesion among the people. This cohesion is formed spontaneously. Spontaneous formation requires In this way, the country communicates with each other so that this kind of unified consciousness will be formed.

This kind of consciousness comes from a national form formed under external pressure. Shangwen thinks so. Although he is not interested in nationalism, he can only do so at present.

"This requires us to make a series of diplomatic adjustments," said Feng Quji at this time.

"Yes" Shang Wen nodded

"We need to unite South Korea, Zhao Guo, Yan Guo and more allies to participate. We can engage in an economic integration in the economy, form a military alliance in the military, and form a huge political summit politically," Shang Wen said.

"Political summit" King Qin asked

"For the political summit, we need to sit down and discuss some things. This is very beneficial to us. We can't just suppress it. If that happens, Qin's reputation in the Central Plains will not be very good," Shang Wen said.

"The Six Kingdoms of Birds are always afraid of Qin," a general scolded at this time

Shang Wen could only smile at this.

"Even so, Qin must pay attention to the following prestige. Qin wants to establish its own military alliance. Qin needs to communicate with the armies of these countries to build Qin's prestige," Shang Wen said.

"Is this going to work?" King Qin asked

"It should be possible," Shang Wen said

"We can give it a try, and we can't afford such a huge military expense now. We need allies to accomplish Qin's unification mission together. We need to communicate with these countries to let them understand our Qin's politics, military and economy. We need to influence each other." Shang Wen said

"In fact, Qin also needs to establish its own cultural tradition. We use this cultural tradition to inspire and influence our allies, so that they will finally agree to submit to us, so that we can avoid large-scale bloody conflicts and lay a solid foundation for our unity. "Shang Wen said

"In this way, our military alliance will be very large," Wang Jian said.

"That's great," Shang Wen said

"The mutual influence of this alliance can eliminate our internal wars, so that we can avoid bigger wars. You must know that among the countries that are allied with us, Zhao's blood is no less than that of Qin's army. If we use force and with the current situation If we fight with firearms, our losses will be even greater. Even if we have an absolute advantage in weapons, we still need to pay a certain price. After the occupation, Zhao will also have many, many political problems," Shang Wen said.

"So how to solve the Korean problem?" Feng Quji asked at this time

"We need to deal with South Korea's issues individually. On South Korea's issue, I don't think we should suppress our opponents too much. We can go along with them," Shang Wen said.

"South Korea has territorial requirements for Chendi, and we can follow them, but we will never let this area be occupied by them alone. We want to make that place a state, a state with relatively large freedom, and a state that can choose to be loyal to the country. If it becomes an independent country, South Korea's strength will not increase too much, and it will also invest a lot in politics and economy because of state issues, which will be detrimental to South Korea.

"Well, these methods are very innovative," Qin Wang said at this time

"The widows think that these methods can only be tried, but it will take a certain degree of difficulty to become a national policy," King Qin said conclusively.

Hearing such an answer, Shang Wen nodded to express his understanding.

"Qin is currently undergoing great changes, and it is difficult to continue to expand and continue to unify," Qin Wang said.

"Just follow the prime minister's method and try first," King Qin said.

However, the generals and ministers handed over their hands and said that the King of Qin still relied heavily on Shangwen, and Shangwen also knew that his strategy was somewhat risky, because Shangwen himself did not know how much chance he had of winning when it was implemented.

Shangwen has been thinking for a long time. He wants to use colonial wars to strengthen the ties between various countries. To establish a huge military alliance is to use the armed forces of the six countries for foreign affairs instead of internal strife. Shangwen understands it very well, but do all countries understand this? I don’t know. In short, Shangwen’s strategic planning in this period lacks great strategic awareness and is very vague, which makes the future history enter a period of confusion ()l3l4

972 Qin's Economic Situation

[]

The meeting temporarily confirmed Shang Wen's confused policy. Qin also decided not to carry out large-scale combat operations this year, but Qin can participate in small-scale combat operations. After all, it is absolutely impossible to stop combat operations. The country needs a certain channel of violence to vent its domestic attention. At this time, small military actions are very necessary, especially in a country like Qin, which has a serious martial spirit.

However, there are still many problems before Shangwen. The first problem is the economic problem.

With the support of two years of low tax rates, Qin's economy has developed by leaps and bounds. In particular, Qin's land annexation tide and Qin's industrial tide have allowed Qin's economy to develop by leaps and bounds.

Qin State established a large-scale farm and ranch economy. The northern ranch economy of Qin State suffered certain losses due to the slave riots in the north, but the foundation of Qin State’s pasture economy still exists. It is only a matter of time before it returns to its original state.

In this regard, Shang Wen provided relevant support for the ranch economy in the north of Qin State. First, the banking industry in Qin State will provide a large number of low-interest loans to the north, because these loans are all commercial loans without interest, which cannot be justified.

Secondly, Shangwen has also carried out related tax-free support policies. In terms of meat, beef and sheep breeding, Shangwen has issued a series of related support policies. For example, after the number of cattle and sheep exceeds a certain number, the country will no longer collect various taxes and fees, especially [-]%. The income tax has played a big role in the rapid recovery of the pastures in northern Qin

The last point is that a brand new financial method has initially entered the agricultural field. This is the insurance Wenyang Financial Group has carried out bold reforms. They also had insurance business before. These insurance businesses were mainly concentrated in the shipping industry of Qin State, especially the armed forces of Qin State. Merchant shipping transports goods for sale is a huge profit-making industry. The insurance industry first targeted this market, but unexpectedly, this market was very cold. There are very few ships with merchant marine insurance because this is a brand new financial concept, a fact that is very unacceptable to the people of Qin, because it is easy to think that this is a kind of gambling, and one side can only get the other party's money if they lose. Compensation is an unacceptable logic. This logic makes it hard to imagine that the people of Qin cannot accept it for a while, so the number of armed merchant ships buying insurance is very rare.

Not only are the armed merchant ships of the Qin State scarce, after buying ships and weapons, it is difficult to have the funds to buy insurance, which aggravates the situation that insurance is difficult to maintain, because the investment in merchant ship insurance is not a small amount. This amount is for armed merchant ship personnel. It's a new investment. They can use the insurance money to buy guns or even new artillery so that they feel more secure.

Various reasons led to Qin's insurance industry not developing very smoothly in the south of Qin. It can be said that it is very bleak. The insurance industry cannot be developed in Qin's shipping, so it cannot provide new thrust for Qin's shipping. Without such a boost The development of maritime commerce in the Lower Qin State is full of difficulties

The insurance industry cannot develop in the south of Qin State, and it is also difficult to maintain Qin State’s insurance in Qin State. First of all, people don’t understand the importance of buying an insurance. In addition, Qin State’s economic development is very fast. Qin State’s The economy is in a period of rapid development, everything is fine, people can ignore the existence of risks

In terms of pension, Qin State is a typical young and middle-aged country. There are a large number of newborn babies in Qin State. It can be said that people's traditional pension methods will affect Qin State. There is no danger of lack of pension in the future. A large number of markets have been lost on the market. Although this market has great potential for development, the cost of development is very high. The insurance industry cannot sustain itself in the local market.

But the insurance soon ushered in a new turning point. This turning point is that the slave riots in the north of Qin made a mess in the north of Qin, especially those ranchers who lost a lot of big slaves. The insurance industry quickly entered the insurance business. After suffering such a huge loss, the ranchers pinned their hopes on insurance. As a result, Qin's insurance also expanded rapidly in the north.

Northern Slave Rebellion Gives Insurance a New Chance

The development of the insurance industry reflects a microcosm of Qin's economy from the side. Qin's economy is extremely prosperous in the virtual economy, especially the stock bond futures market. This shows that Qin's financial system has been established. Qin is not only in the mainland but also in the north. And individual cities in the south have established financial trading markets. These markets trade various types of stocks, bonds, and futures. As a result, Qin's financial industry has developed rapidly.

The rapid development of the financial industry has brought great convenience to Qin's capital circulation. This convenience has brought great convenience to the development of Qin's heavy industry. Qin has established three major iron and steel machinery industry belts in the north, with Guyang as the center. The Jiuyuan Iron and Steel Belt in the center mainly produces some special steels, mainly some rare earth steels. These steels are special steels necessary for the production of engines, and most of these steels are used in parts of military guns and beams of various vehicles. These are Guyang. produced by the steel industry

In addition, the iron and steel in the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Belt mainly produces railway building materials, because it is close to Zhao Guo and neighboring countries. The steel produced here is mainly railway tracks and various steel reinforcement materials for Zhao Guo. Zhao Guo’s construction industry is developing rapidly. This is also the main reason to stimulate Taiyuan Iron and Steel to focus on construction

It is worth mentioning that Qin State is building another railway line. This railway line will be constructed along the Hexi Valley as the axis. This railway will lead to Hangu Pass in Qin State, so that the steel from Taiyuan Steel Belt can go directly to Qin State. Xianyang Xinzheng and Daliang, which are likely to be opened to traffic in the future, will greatly reduce the pressure on the northern railway of Qin State. At the same time, a special railway transportation line will be freed up for Qin State to transport steel, which will increase the scale of Qin State's steel export transportation.
