"That's right. That's how it should be. Those southern Yue people would never have imagined that the widows would come from the sea. In this way, all the transportation problems will be solved at once. Very good. Very good." King Qin praised.

"The most important thing is that our navy can attack Qi from the sea. Moreover, we have a large number of overseas states, which also produce salt and salted fish. We can dump it to Qi at one time. Qi's economy won't take much It will collapse for a long time." Shang Wen continued.

"I have heard about it. You have established two concessions of the Qin State in Yan State. This State of Yan imports a large number of products from our Qin State. I am very happy to hear that. So how is the situation in South Korea?" King Qin asked.

"South Korea. The minister has decided to solve it by supporting the Korean princess to launch a mutiny. This exercise can just cover their secret assembly. After the mutiny, they will follow the secret agreement between the two countries." Shang Wen said.

"Mr. Qin's business is more powerful than the hundreds of thousands of troops of the previous kings. It can be said that Mr. Qin's destruction of the country is invisible." King Qin handed over all the things to Shang Wen during this period.However, Shangwen immediately changed the traditional practice in a short period of time and boldly attacked the six countries with a commercial war.King Qin is also reflecting on what the previous kings of Qin have done.At the same time, he compared what Naofumi had done.He believes that although Shangwen's letting go is slow, the effect is indeed very effective.For example, a Yan State could no longer escape Qin State's control.They need to import a lot of products from Qin to survive.Otherwise, this country will be destroyed by Zhao and Qi.With the deepening of the Qin Concession.Yan State will not be able to break away from Qin State's control, even if it wants to.The hearts of the people have long been won over by Qin.

"Your Majesty, to complete everything now, we must reduce military expenditures. Qin will go through a period of time without a big war to fight. The large-scale army in the past can no longer be maintained." Shang Wen said.The reason why Shangwen's reforms were so effective at the beginning.It was because he unknowingly grasped the important line of Qin's huge combat power.Follow this line.He rapidly expanded the large-scale land.When digesting and absorbing, it is inevitable that the army can no longer retain large-scale military personnel like before.It can be said that Shangwen followed Qin's traditional policy of "war" to turn Qin around.Now is the critical moment of turning around.Especially on the issue of military spending.Naofumi has already done it once.The military has shown a violent response that time.If it is not long before Shangwen touches this problem again.There will certainly be a fierce reaction from the military.In order to suppress the military.Shangwen wanted the support of King Qin.With the support of King Qin.The military can make large-scale concessions on the issue of military expenditures.

"The widow understands. You want the widow to help you. With the help of the widow, cut down the military expenditure." King Qin said directly to the question.In fact, King Qin was able to boldly delegate power to Shangwen.To a large extent, Shangwen's policies are unfolding on the bright side.And through newspaper propaganda.Even the Six Nations know about these policies. Zheng fu is almost transparent.Moreover, not only the king of Qin, but also the general public were supervised.King Qin has nothing to worry about.

"Your Majesty." Shangwen didn't know what to say.Then he bowed his hands and saluted.

"The widow fully supports Mr. Qin." As he spoke, he tapped lightly on the back of Shang Wen's hand.

436 calls on both parties to accept mediation

With the support of King Qin, Shangwen boldly let go.

The situation of the disaster was a little lighter than Shang Wen imagined.Because wheat is wheat.It happened to be terribly dry at this time.Now the rain is pouring down, which has alleviated the drought to some extent.Although some fields have been affected by disasters, the wheat fields have become two large due to the epidemic.loss compared to it.Much lighter.This is the benefit of concentrating land on a large scale.

Although the disaster was relatively light, Shangwen still launched several measures to support agriculture according to the original plan.For example, zheng fu guarantees and the establishment of agricultural funds.To provide farmers with a large number of interest-free loans.Farmers, on the other hand, have their own ideas.They either expand production or build some water conservancy facilities.Anyway, it's their own plan.

At this time, the drills of the two sides stopped in a tacit understanding.Just like the two sides have discussed it before.The reason why Qin Jun was unwilling to exercise was simple.boring.They want to use their main energy on the opponent's nomads.After the Yan State tested its army through exercises, it wanted to go to the front line to fight.The South Korean new army completed the secret troop build-up through exercises and tested the actual combat capabilities of the army.Just as Shang Wen had speculated at the beginning, Han Wangan recruited all the people who could be recruited from the whole country with great anxiety.What's even more funny is that even so, he still hasn't given up on imposing heavy taxes.With this.Han Wangan has already been squeezed out of the political arena.

On the other hand, Shang Wen urgently called a military meeting.Wang Jian's staff department has received personal orders from King Qin.Call for a plan to cut military spending in half.War is very different from what it used to be.In the past, Qin's wars were all based on recruitment.People pay more.This time, war became an act of state.The state fully mobilizes the participation of the whole people through military expenditures.Wang Jian also realized this.Therefore, he accepted the order with more strategic and long-term plans, instructing the chiefs of staff of the three armed forces to further reduce funds.Although the three armies complained, the order was issued by King Qin himself.They didn't dare to complain, so they took the initiative to cut some unnecessary expenses.

Shangwen held a military meeting, in fact, to compensate for the injustice of the three armed forces after reducing military expenditures.This is to give a slap and a sweet date to eat.Shangwen's sweet date is that the reserve force is under the jurisdiction of the three armed forces.

&nb Representative, Wei Liao is equivalent to the Minister of National Defense, and Wang Jian is the executor who actually manages the three armed forces and formulates specific plans.Also present at the meeting were the chiefs of staff of the various military services.Shangwen first proposed his own plan.

The country's armed forces include the regular army, reserves, and militia.The three armies are under the command of King Qin.is the prerequisite.After being courteous, Shang Wen finally spoke out the specific measures of the plan.

State military spending is provided only to the regular army.and some reserves.In other words, the country's war potential will be fully delegated to the civilian population.Civilians will provide potential forces for the army on a large scale.The armed forces have the authority to administer the reserve forces under their jurisdiction.It's a big cake.The people present did not react at once.Shang Wen continued to launch his own plan.

The state will encourage the establishment of a large number of clubs, including aviation, sailing, the army already has security, trading companies and armed personnel.But to appease the Army.Gun clubs were still formed.All personnel in the club are under the jurisdiction of the armed forces.They have the right to recruit these personnel after receiving orders of varying degrees of mobilization.

As soon as this plan comes out.The three armies started discussing at once.Although they lost a lot of funds.But got a huge cake instead.Because a lot of people will be picked from these clubs.They are very happy to accept this proposal.The program passed without any suspense.None of the three armies objected.This is the first time a problem has been resolved without arguing.As soon as the meeting broke up, the chiefs of staff of the three armed forces began to say hello and left in a hurry.They want to build their own club like crazy.Their funds are limited though.The money is still affordable.

After solving this problem.Naofumi is going to end this exercise.It has been half a month since the exercise.It's time to stop.Neither side can afford it.Moreover, it is easy to misfire in a long-term stalemate.Shang Wen decided to take the initiative to call on both sides to stop the exercise, and called on all parties to sit down and negotiate.

At the beginning of June, Shang Wen clearly put forward his ideas in the State of the Union Address.

"As we all know, Qin State, Yan State, and Zhao State, Qi State held large-scale military exercises on the border. Now the exercise is coming to an end. I call on all parties to stop the exercise and withdraw their troops.

Qin State hopes for peace.War cannot solve the contradictions among nations.The reason for this exercise was because Zhao and Qi jointly sent troops to attack Yan.The war resulted in a large number of civilian casualties.Qin Guo did not want to see such casualties.out of humanitarianism.I call on all parties to accept Qin's mediation.To be able to sit down quietly and talk.Return peace to both parties. Shang Wen finished this set of rhetoric with emotion. The reporters obviously wanted to know more, so they spoke and asked questions enthusiastically. But Shang Wen ended the final statement. He stepped off the stage and ended the State of the Union address.

After all, this matter has not yet been confirmed.Previously, Shangwen wrote letters to each other in the name of the prime minister of Qin to accept Qin's mediation.It depends on the attitude of all parties.That's all Shangwen can do.But at this time, obviously can't say too much.

The reporter could not get an answer from Shangwen.They wrote articles one after another and began to put forward their own guesses.

The "Financial Express" took an article "War Passed by" as the headline.The attitudes of all parties are explained in more detail.The reporter believes that Qin has been fighting continuously for a year since last year.War consumes a lot.At the same time, it was impacted by a large number of slave traders and farmers.Many veterans voluntarily apply for retirement.From this point of view.The prime minister may take the initiative to end the exercise.

According to a military officer who did not want to be named, the Qin army will soon start a large-scale disarmament.It seems that Qin Jun is really unwilling to fight anymore.

As for Zhao Jun.After this war.Casualties surged.I'm afraid I won't be able to continue.And the only ones who can go on are Yan and Qi.But now the situation is clearer.What is the attitude of both sides.We need to wait and see.

As soon as this article came out, Qin's stock market and futures market plummeted by [-]%.At the same time, people also began to discuss Qin's next plan intensely.But one has reason to believe it.Qin may not take the initiative to go to war.Because the war has been fought long enough.

437 Civilization on the map

Shangwen's speech in the final State of the Union address was quickly printed into newspapers and spread to various places.The emergence of newspapers and other media is actually to make some affairs transparent and open.Shangwen, who comes from the future society, of course understands the role of the media.Before others Shangwen noticed this powerful weapon.Shangwen must give full play to its role.Gain the support of the people by establishing an image of justice.Occupy a favorable position on public opinion issues.

Naofumi's proposal requires a reply from the other party before further action can be taken.But before waiting.Shangwen has one more important thing to do.Popularize a lot of astronomy and geography knowledge.Especially the map civilization that extends between the two.

"This is an astronomical telescope. It looks rough. But he can prove that what I see is correct." Shang Wen faced the crowd of all kinds under the podium.Among this group are skilled craftsmen from the six countries, as well as representatives from various schools.In short, there are all kinds of people.Even those Confucianists from Jixia Academy also participated.

In order to popularize this knowledge, Shangwen announced in the newspaper in advance that he would give lectures at Qin State University.As soon as the news came out, many people came here admiringly.Fan Zeng also quietly walked into a large lecture theater that can accommodate 300 people.There are simply too many people.Many people sat on the steps and listened to Shangwen's explanation.

"This astronomical telescope can see our satellite. The moon. In fact, the moon is a sphere. Similarly, the land we are on. The earth is also a sphere. Just like this." Shangwen pointed to the podium big iron ball.Shangwen was originally used to demonstrate the causes of lunar eclipses and solar eclipses.But obviously it can't be done.Because there are too many people.It is still too advanced.Some people haven't figured it out yet.

"Let's put this question on hold for now. If you are interested, you can go and have a look at it when the night comes. I welcome it very much." Shangwen made a welcoming gesture.

"My theoretical basis is to build on this theoretical basis. Our earth is a planet. And we live on the earth. How do we know that through observation." Shang Wen said loudly.

"We'll just use this." Shang Wen took out a sextant as he said.

"This is a sextant. It is used to determine our latitude. I will explain the issue of latitude to you later. But first, I want to explain to you why we can use a sextant to determine our latitude. .”

"First of all, our earth doesn't revolve around the earth at a certain inclination. Like this. Look at it." Shangwen said, holding a big stick, and passing directly through the wooden ball.That represents the earth.

"It has a certain inclination. It is because of this inclination that the direct point of the sun rotates back and forth between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Cancer." Shang Wen explained while demonstrating.Many people stared intently.they see.It is this slanted angle that causes the difference in the straight shooting point.Some quick-response, suddenly realized.He opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

"The orbital plane of the earth's revolution we call him the ecliptic plane and the earth's equatorial plane we call him the equatorial plane. The angle between these two planes is the angle between the eclipse and the eclipse. According to preliminary calculations, this angle is 23 degrees 26 minutes. Also It is this angle that appears. Our summer, autumn and winter." Shangwen doesn't know how to explain it, he is a weapon expert, and he made a temporary guest appearance as a Tianjia.

Some Qin State University students even picked up a pencil to quickly record.And more people are paying full attention to this new knowledge.This knowledge was not available before.

"We call the two returning parallels from the sun the Tropic of Cancer. If you are very interested, I hope you can go to Chu to check it out." Shang Wen said.

"It is also the sun that shoots straight to different positions. Therefore, we have summer, autumn and winter, and we have the points, summer solstice, autumnal equinox, and east solstice." Shang Wen does not know whether there are these autumnal equinoxes, winter and summer solstice at this time.Whether it exists or not, this knowledge must be made available.

"At the autumnal equinox. The direct shooting point of the sun is on the equator. During the winter and summer solstice, he is on the Tropic of Cancer." Shang Wen said.

"Since we know the date and angle of the direct shooting point of the sun, then we can use this to measure the height of the sun and the angle between the horizontal line and convert it through a certain formula." Shang Wen said and wrote the formula on the blackboard superior.The blackboard is all black at the bottom of the pot.Shang Wen didn't know it himself, so his hands were all black.

&nbs z = sin φ sin δ + os t

"This is the formula." Shang Wen wrote a few mathematical symbols on the blackboard.The people below were discussing.They didn't understand why Shangwen drew such a symbol.Do you want to exorcise evil spirits?Shang Wen didn't care about so much.Half an hour has passed.The big bell behind has already struck.

"We can get the latitude φ of the place by calculation. In the formula, z is the distance from the celestial body's zenith to 9o degrees minus the horizon height, δ is the declination of the celestial body, and t is the hour angle, which can be obtained from the local sidereal time and the right ascension of the celestial body. The sidereal time can also be obtained by simple calculation. If the geographic latitude is calculated from the position of the sun, the simpler algorithm is "Shang Wen said and then picked up the spherical chalk and wrote δ = z + δ.

"Through this, we can calculate the latitude faster." Shang Wen finished writing.

"Then let's explain what latitude is." Shangwen said and took out a ball made of wire.

"It's like these wires weaving horizontally. This is our latitude. It circles the earth. It goes all the way to the top." Shang Wen said.

"They follow the east-west direction, and the circle around the globe is called the latitude line. All the latitude lines are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the longitude line. The latitude line indicates the east-west direction. The latitude coils are of different sizes. The equator is the largest latitude coil. From the equator to The latitude coils at the two poles gradually shrink until the south and north poles are reduced to points. Longitude and latitude are drawn on globes and maps by people in order to determine the position and direction on the earth. There are no longitude and latitude drawn on the ground. However, you It is not difficult to see the longitude of your place: set up a bamboo pole on the ground, when the sun rises highest at noon, the shadow of the bamboo pole is the longitude of your place. Because the longitude indicates the north-south direction, the longitude is also They are called meridians. The lines of longitude and latitude are perpendicular to each other."

"There is not much time. There is a last bit of time, and the class is about to end. I can't procrastinate. The significance of longitude and latitude is that we can determine our own position without relying on geographic things. By calculating latitude coordinates, we can be more Accurately determine your own position. If it is used on the map, then our civilization will take a big step forward." Shang Wen finished.The bell rang for the end of get out of class.

"Oh. Alright. Let's dismiss get out of class." Shang Wen said with a shrug.

438 First Arrival in Qin State

Shangwen only had one hour of class this time, but he turned Qin Guo's knowledge upside down.The first is that people start heated discussions.Is the earth under my feet called the earth round?Some people think so.Some think not.Others suggested that the earth is square.The sky is round.Otherwise, it would not be called Fangyuan.Prime Minister, this is pure nonsense.Some people think it makes sense.than heated discussions.Many people started to run to the mountains.Why.Look at the moon at night.With the help of Naofumi's telescope, they began to look at the moon carefully.It turns out that the moon is full of potholes.Some people can't squeeze into an astronomical telescope.Just look with a telescope.
