"Give them this," said the lieutenant, inserting a letter into the saber in his hand and firmly pinning the saber to the ground
"Let them see" the lieutenant turned and started to leave
"Send them something," the lieutenant yelled loudly
"Bang bang bang bang bang" the cavalry behind started waving their rifles and shooting towards the tower and then they turned and left
"Tudu" Several soldiers of the Wei army who failed to evade in time were shot and killed. Others watched in panic every move of the new Korean cavalry.
"Okay, let's retreat," the major ordered.
"We don't have time to stay here," the major said, turning his horse's head and starting to evacuate
The dispatched cavalry have returned to their combat positions at this time, and the artillerymen of the South Korean new army have loaded their artillery. They are about to retreat at this time.
And Wei Jun still hasn't stabilized from the panic just now, they don't know what the opponent is going to do, and whether they want to continue to attack the city or have other plans
But soon they knew the new situation of the new South Korean army, they had already chosen to retreat, watching the new South Korean army leave slowly, the soldiers of Wei State breathed a sigh of relief
"Buzzing..." At this time, Wei Guo's beam gate slowly opened a small gap, a soldier quickly came out of the gap, and he quickly ran to the place where the new South Korean army was holding a saber
The Wei soldier was very cautious. He looked around carefully, then ran to that position desperately, quickly pulled out his saber, picked up the letter, and immediately ran back to his city gate.
At this time, the new South Korean army is already far away from Daliang City, and they are not afraid of Wei Jun chasing them at this time, because Wei Jun no longer has any courage.
The paperwork has been handed over, and the new South Korean army is waiting for new orders, and Shang Wen has also made new progress.
After a few days of getting to know each other, Shangwen continued to expound some of his political views
"Civilianization means that more civilians can participate in more social activities," Shang Wen explained
"Qin's farming war is actually a kind of civilianization, but this kind of civilianization is not very thorough, but it is difficult to change such a country, so it needs a big reform plan to implement." Shang Wen clarified for the first time It is the first time that some of my own political ideas have clearly appeared in Shang Wen's mind.
"Well, this point is relatively close to our Mohist thought of loving the people." The Mohist woman said that she felt ashamed that Shangwen didn't even know the Mohist woman's name or even her appearance these days, but Shangwen could only continue to explain his own thoughts develop to understand each other
Apparently Mohist women understand Shangwen's thoughts more
"The basis of civilianization is socialized mass production. In this way, social division of labor will increase, and more and more people will participate. People no longer only value a certain economic ability, but value a single Diversification and personalization of people make society wonderful,” said Shang Wen
"Well, what you said seems to make sense," the Mohist woman said.
"Of course, this is something that has already happened. Only when everyone participates in the society will it be more exciting," Shang Wen said.
"What I'm trying to do now is get everyone involved," Shangwen said.
944 The Era of Capital Expansion
".
This is an era of capital expansion. Capital has brought about a huge revolution. The power of this revolution is far beyond anyone's imagination. It seems that it is not controlled by anyone's will and at the same time controlled by anyone's will. This is capital.
The rapid economic development of South Korea is inseparable from the power of capital expansion
Qin Guoshangwen's reforms, especially the major reforms in financial capital, have greatly unleashed the power of capital expansion
The first thing Qin changed was the change of tax collection objects, which was very important to Qin’s capital liberation. Before Qin, the objects of tax collection were physical objects or labor and military service. Even in the Tang Dynasty, when the feudal dynasty was at its peak, it was still physical objects. However, the Lord divided the military service, and it was still the case in the subsequent feudal dynasties.
But in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng’s taxation reforms changed the situation initially. In other words, it was in the Ming Dynasty that currency played a role in taxation. Before that, no dynasty used currency as the unit of settlement. That is why the development of capitalism in Chinese history only started during the Ming Dynasty. If currency cannot lay a foundation for national taxation and national taxation cannot be settled in currency, then the role of currency cannot be established.
The first item of Shangwen’s reform is to highlight the role of currency. The country’s tax collection object has suddenly become currency, and it is of great significance to collect taxes in currency.
After the emergence of currency, the country will no longer regard currency as an auxiliary tool to treat the most mature country. The country should pay attention to the role of currency, unlike the Han Dynasty. The country's minting power was in private hands at the beginning. It is really unimaginable that the country attaches importance to currency. The currency must be linked with the credit of the national government. In this way, the country’s currency will have a stable foundation. This foundation will directly affect all aspects of a country’s life, so the emergence of currency will connect everything together. It promotes the close connection of a country's economy. Qin State did this first. This is also the main reason why Qin State and Qin Banliang banknotes are rapidly expanding in various countries. Qin Banliang represents the strength of Qin State. Qin State is like Rome. like gold coins
Secondly, after the country lays the foundation of currency, all taxes will be settled in the form of currency. In this way, the objects of tax collection by the country will expand to many fields at once, such as commerce, and the country will naturally start to favor business in order to be able to pay more taxes. taxes these are obvious
Commercial activities are the places that generate the most taxes, especially on the basis that the tax rate cannot be increased. Only by expanding the tax sources can the total amount of taxes be increased. After the Qin State figured out this problem, it began to slowly change the original national basic national policy. The government began to slowly The government intends to support some commercial projects, as long as they can make money, the government will encourage and even actively guide people how to participate in them. This is also the secret of Qin’s business prosperity.
In the beginning, what Shang Wen wanted to challenge was to change the national policy. The difficulty of such a national policy has exceeded Shang Wen’s imagination, but Shang Wen’s change in taxation has changed unintentionally, which is beyond Shang Wen’s imagination.
The impact of the taxation reform that uses currency as the settlement unit is that the state of Qin encouraged the expansion of commercial activities and began to use capital activities to serve the country, which further brought a large development space for the expansion of capital. The expansion of this space further promoted The further strengthening of Qin
In the end, the revolutionary influence brought by currency is extremely extensive. The significance of currency is that it can connect everything. Currency begins to represent wealth in a real sense. Real gold, beautiful jade, power and beautiful buildings are all symbols of wealth, but there is no unified standard for measuring them. The meaning of the emergence of currency is to unify these wealth and have a stable yardstick. It means that people do not Further blur various social resources, such as gold and various building resources, etc. There is a standard of measurement. This standard is currency. It can be said that the meaning of currency is extremely important.
In the entire feudal dynasty era, because of the ambiguity of social wealth, people's ability to use resources was not very high, because the symbolic meaning of wealth was very ambiguous. Shangwen's reform is to concretize wealth and connect currency to various resources in the entire society. It brings great convenience to the resource allocation of socialized mass production
With the reform of currency as a tax unit, various social strata in Qin State began to carry out various commercial activities around currency, and gradually a kind of business that specialized in currency appeared in various commercial activities. The emergence of this kind of business gave birth to the early capital market, which is the meaning of banks. The significance of banks lies in the collection and use of social currency and then the redistribution of currency. This effective distribution method indirectly promotes the distribution of social resources. The appearance of this distribution makes society Resources are more rational and scientific
The emergence of banks has profound significance to Qin. It can be said that without banks, Qin would have no capital. Without the multiple uses of these capitals and the distribution of capital flows in various industries, Qin would need at least 300 years to develop. Time and these 300 years will change a lot for Qin
The emergence of banks brought the capital of Qin State onto the stage of history. Banks gathered a large number of currencies gathered from various aspects of Qin State. These currencies came from various businesses, arms business, grain business, slave business, leather business, meat business, etc. And these Businesses are all based on the exchange of currency, and the reaction of banks has given these businesses great development.
People began to get used to borrowing the capital they need most from the bank. This capital is enough to expand their business more than double. In fact, it is true that the expansion of capital in Qin State is greatly due to the expansion of the power of capital.
The reason why the pastures in the northern part of the state of Qin expanded so much at once is because the banks provided a large amount of loans, relying only on those immigrants who had no foundation, and it took Qin state 50 years to establish pastures of different sizes there. Slowly controlled the seized grassland resources, but after the emergence of capital, those immigrants in Qin State relied on capital to buy their own land. At the same time, they continued to buy a variety of slave breeds, cattle and sheep needed by society on these lands. All kinds of means of subsistence undoubtedly expanded Qin’s capital a lot, and at the same time accelerated Qin’s ability to control the northern grasslands. Similarly, these capitals also appeared in Qin’s northwest and other directions.
With the rapid development of the bank, various domestic infrastructures in Qin State are also rapidly launched with the help of the bank
This is also the reason why the issuance of Qin half-two banknotes in the Qin State was not enough at the beginning. This is because Qin State needs a certain amount of money to circulate. After Qin State invested a large amount of banknote capital, it began to operate.
It is worth mentioning that the role of banknotes in this process is very significant. The role of banknotes is that the Qin State got rid of a hidden relationship between banknotes and currency. Through the issuance of banknotes, the Qin government can freely control social wealth and resources. The government can use multiple The method of issuing banknotes gathers wealth so that the role of the national government can be better played
The power of Qin is further magnified by the paper currency. In fact, it is true that Qin relied on the power of paper money to win one war after another, and these wars did not hurt Qin very much. On the contrary, Qin Get more benefits than before Multi-war for the first time works in a virtuous circle
And before Qin State launched another large-scale continuous war action, it needs to rest for a long time, because the war is extremely depleting national power, especially in terms of population power. The history of Qin State has proved this point. The war between Chu State and Zhao State caused Qin State to be silent for quite a period of time in the subsequent history. This was because Qin State’s national power was seriously depleted. Qin State was unable to continue the war on the basis of its existing victories.
The same is true of Qin Shihuang's unification war. The ten-year unification war has actually almost destroyed the Qin Empire's family. At this time, Qin did not make timely corrections due to the new national defense strategy and security needs. As a result, the tragedy was staged like this.
And Shangwen's approach is actually to let Qin avoid such a situation, and the war can actually be a virtuous circle.
Moreover, the emergence of banks has also led to the extension of capital into several other capital deformation things, bonds, stocks, and various futures. These financial products can even be said to have enriched Qin's capital power, making Qin more aggressive and aggressive in terms of capital expansion. The nature of outward expansion is why Qin adopted the diplomatic method of supporting other countries
945 Capital in External Expansion
After Qin State established its banking system and further established its own developed financial system on the basis of the national banking system, Qin State’s capital began to embark on the road of external expansion.
In fact, a series of constructions in Qin State are based on the continuous expansion of capital, but the power of capital is also very limited, and the nature of capital is also like this. They are not bound by any country or individual will. It can be said that these capitals were originally There is no patriotism, even Napoleon hated it, but the fact is that the development of Qin State cannot be separated from the help of these capitals, Qin State can only obey the choice of these capitals or choose the way of induction and let nature take its course All walks of life in the state of Qin can develop only when they enter their related fields
After two expansions, the territorial development of Qin State, especially after the taxation reform, the status of currency was quickly established. Qin State has initially completed a primitive accumulation of capital.
There are many people who benefited from the two expansion wars. First of all, slave traders and a large number of businessmen engaged in the transportation industry and various logistics production. These businessmen obtained considerable benefits in the two expansion wars.
As long as it is related to the war, it has more or less obtained the earliest primitive capital. Qin has completed two large-scale foreign wars. The origin of Qin is accumulation, although the primitive accumulation of capital is not over because Qin The activities of primitive accumulation of capital are still carried out in various places, and the scale of the development is getting bigger and bigger. The situation has become difficult to control, and the government has reached the point where it cannot be controlled.
It is no longer possible for the Qin government to prevent a large number of hired armed forces from completing the initial primitive capital activities through violence, and under the encouragement and guidance of Shang Wen, Qin has been carrying out such activities, as long as there are tribal minorities around Qin. Under the circumstances, Qin State has been carrying out such expansion activities.
After completing the initial primitive accumulation of capital, Qin’s industry has also established a certain foundation. These foundations are based on the factories that evolved from the early handicraft workshops. These factories provide various military supplies during the war.
The state of Qin increased the expansion of capital through the leverage of currency. After completing the primitive accumulation of capital in the early stage, Shangwen appropriately carried out secondary capital guidance. This secondary capital guidance is the introduction of a new technological revolution.
