2369 Right to Education

"I've already told you. The problem with Chu www.biquge.info is that there are no investment projects, and most of your financial funds are spent on military spending. This proportion must be reduced. Shang Wen said to Chen Ping. Shang Wen met with the young Chu finance minister and bank minister in his office.

"But the current state of Chu is that we don't have more funds to solve this problem." Chen Ping said in embarrassment.

"The prime minister also knows that we have to have a lot of money to run these things, but as things stand, it seems that we can't do such things." Chen Ping explained to Shang Wen.

"Hmm. Tell us about the current predicament of the state of Chu. Shang Wen patiently listened to Chen Ping's story, what the people of Qin saw was one problem, and what the people of Chu said might be another problem. Shang Wen didn't want to make such a mistake, he needed to understand what was really going on in the Chu State.

"Here's the thing. At present, we urgently need a fund in Chu State, but the funds in our hands can no longer operate such a fund, and there are many corresponding sons in Chu State, but this is a huge military expenditure, and we plan this expenditure. This is a very large expense. Chen Ping explained.

"Another point is that the Chu State is fighting against Liaodong, which is currently the largest project in which most of our Chu State has invested in funds, and we need to obtain war reparations to further solve this problem." Chen Ping said.

"In short, we never imagined that we would encounter such a large amount of money." Chen Ping said to Shang Wen.

"This is a preliminary plan for us. You can take a look. After hearing this, Shang Wen handed Chen Ping a report. This report is the result of Shang Wen and Meng Yi's discussion.

"This report?" Chen Ping asked.

"You can look at this." Shang Wen said.

"In my opinion, if most of the development of your Chu State is used for military spending, the situation will be very bad. In this case, military spending will account for the entire revenue of the entire treasury. Shang Wen said to Chen Ping.

"At the same time, the income of your Chu government is also very unclear, and the nobles occupy absolute resources and wealth in the Chu State, but they do not have to pay taxes. And the subject of paying taxes does only occupy a small part of the wealth of the Chu people. In this way, social contradictions will be very acute. On the one hand, there are huge military spending. On the other hand, your income is very poor. If you look at it from the point of view of the value of the existence of a government. Such a government may have just been formed and will quickly go bankrupt. This is a very difficult economic and financial problem. Shang Wen said to Chen Ping. Chen Ping quickly skimmed through the report. The content of the report is generally the same as that of Shang Wen. And the solution is very new.

"Personally, I think. The state of Chu should have its own profit-making project, and this profit-making project is trade. Your Chu State wants to trade with foreign countries, more regions, and you have quite a lot of resources in your hands to use, for example, the army. Shang Wen said to Chen Ping.

"Your army is very large, so you can get to the areas you want by ship on a large scale, and trade can bring a lot of wealth, and the military can protect it, and the Koreans do that, and you can do the same." Chen Ping said.

"In this way, you will have a way to transfer the internal contradictions." Shang Wen said. For the huge army of Chu, the Chu army has a lot of moisture, because the negative man said in the telegram that he has a million troops, which is enough to scare any country, because one million troops are all infantry is also a very terrifying number.

"Hmm. But we lacked the capital to start it. Chen Ping once again stressed the current situation of their lack of funds.

"Hmm. We understand this, our Qin government will make some investment, but you must first have good projects, such as trade that can bring great profits, or your policies, bills, will stimulate your business potential. This is a personal reminder from me. Shang Wen said.

"The Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Banks, combined, are basically equivalent to a Minister of Economy, and that's all I want to say, I hope that Chu State can have a good economic policy." Shang Wen reminded.

"Economic policy?" Chen Ping asked.

"Yes. I think Mr. Chan is very clever and should have figured that there was a place where I could get enough hints, and I didn't need to say anything more. Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Well, although I don't know exactly what the prime minister said, I think the prime minister has helped me a lot, at least there has been some change in the way I think." Chen Ping said.

"Hmm." Shang Wen said with a smile. Chen Ping then took his leave. Shang Wen simply sent it. For Shang Wen's reminder, Chen Ping began to think about what he was referring to.

"Just a telegram from Xiangping. The latest telegram. Meng Yi found Shang Wen and said.

"The Goguryeo side has basically agreed to our requests, and there is not much resistance." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen. For such words as rebellion. Shang Wen felt very harsh.

"The Goguryeo people don't have much to choose from. This means that the war will end soon. Shang Wen said.

"Yes. The war ended soon, and we did not maintain a certain cease-fire with the Goguryeo. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"You have to ask General Wang about this, they are in charge of these things." Shang Wen said.

"It's better to discuss." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Wait." Shang Wen suddenly thought of something at this time.

"What's the matter?" Meng Yi asked.

"I think that in the treaty, there should be a point in favor of the Goguryeo people." Shang Wen said at this time.

"What?" Meng Yi asked.

"Education." Shang Wen said.

"Education?" Meng Yi was very puzzled. The Goguryeo people are already like this, what else do they need to educate, do they let them receive education in the country? Meng Yi was very puzzled by this.

"What I mean is that we should provide some convenience to the Goguryeo people, give them a certain basic education, or more critical education for studying abroad, so that it will be a continuation of the historical responsibility for the future development of the Goguryeo people." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Okay. I don't know what the point of you doing this is. I don't understand it very much. But I support you in doing this, and maybe you have a reason for doing this. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Hmm. The same is true elsewhere, where we need to give them a certain right to education. Shang Wen reminded.
