"The stock market has fallen sharply. It looks like we're about to have an economic crisis. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi after seeing the news.

"Economic crisis?" Meng Yi asked suspiciously. Meng Yi has yet to experience such a terrible economic crisis. He still doesn't know how big the economic crisis will be.

"The economic crisis, a terrible one, is more terrible than war, and it can trigger more wars." Shang Wen said.

"This kind of crisis. From ourselves, not from the enemy, from our own worst enemy. Shang Wen said.

"This kind of crisis, for the time being, I can't explain it to you, we can only experience it ourselves, otherwise, we don't know what an economic crisis is. But now it's time to explain the worst to the king. Our real trouble is coming. Shang Wen said weakly.

For this sharp plunge in the stock market, Shang Wen believes that it is the prelude to the beginning of a terrible economic crisis.

"However, it's late at night, do we need to go to Xianyang Palace to explain these situations?" Meng Yi asked anxiously.

"Yes, it's best, let the king have a mental preparation, so that we can also prepare for the worst in advance." Shang Wen waved his arms, he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment? He knew that all he could do at the moment was explain the situation, and nothing could be done.

Shang Wen has been feeling this way lately, he thinks that the Qin state is going to experience a disaster, a disaster for its own economy, and this disaster will go through more fields. This required Qin's self-reform to accomplish this. If not. The state of Qin could not get out of such a predicament. At this moment, the crisis has finally arrived. Shang Wen's heart was much calmer. He believes that he can finally lift the burden on his body.

"Well, let's make a phone call." Meng Yi said.

"Yes. All right. Anyway, things have already started and we can't stop it. Time, we don't care anymore. Shang Wen said with a wave of his arms.

"Yes." Meng Yi nodded. Then he left to inform the Xianyang Palace.

Shang Wen just sat quietly in his office and waited for news from Xianyang Palace. Shang Wen didn't think about anything at the moment, and he didn't know what to think? In short, what he wants to do. A lot. But now there is nothing to do. It's contradictory. But this is indeed the most realistic approach at the moment. Because, everything has just begun, and Qin will go through what he should experience.

"Yes. There are important things. The prime minister needs to explain the economic crisis to the king. This matter will be related to the future of the Qin State. Meng Yi said while standing next to the telephone.

"However, the king has just fallen asleep, and you must know that the king has not slept well lately. The king finally fell asleep. Zhao Gao said on the other end.

"This is an urgent matter, I need to be able to explain the situation to King Qin immediately." Meng Yi said anxiously on the phone.

"But the king has just fallen asleep." Zhao Gao once again emphasized the situation of King Qin.

"This." Meng Yi couldn't believe that this was also a reason.

"Well, how long will it take for us to meet the king?" Meng Yi asked at this time.

"It takes about four hours. That's the least amount of time. Zhao Gao said on the phone.

"You are responsible for those four hours." Meng Yi hung up the phone after speaking.

"Toot toot." And Zhao Gao held the phone and listened to the busy tone from the phone over there, expressing disdain.

"The king is the sky." Zhao Gao said.

"It will take at least four hours on the king's side." This time. Meng Yi said helplessly.

"Yes. It doesn't matter, we need to sort out the situation now and see where the economic situation starts, but the first thing we should pay attention to is the financial sector, stocks, futures, and, banks. Banks are key. Shang Wen pointed out the key at this time.

"Yes. Understood, I'll do it. Meng Yi said.

"However, we don't have to be so nervous, we can go around Xianyang Palace and wait." Shang Wen said.

"When a storm comes, we should enjoy that stormy feeling." Shang Wen said.

"Stormy?" Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen nervously at this time, he didn't understand what Shang Wen was doing? Such a moment, Shang Wen actually wants to enjoy it. Shang Wen couldn't believe it.

"Yes. It's late at night and we can go and enjoy the peace of the night. Shang Wen said calmly.

"Let's go." Shang Wen picked up his coat as he spoke. Pulled Meng Yi out of the office.

"At this time, there is no one on the street, where can we go, give it to me, if I want to stay in the office, maybe we can still take care of something. That way I'll have some peace of mind. Meng Yi kept telling his opinion.

"Let's go." Shang Wen said and pulled Meng Yi into the car.

"Go around Xianyang Palace." Shang Wen said to the guards at this time.

"However, Xianyang Palace, you can't enter it at this time." The guard replied.

"So, I'm talking about going around Xianyang Palace." Shangwen explained.

"Yes. Good. The guards understood what Shangwen meant.

"Let's go." Shang Wen nodded.

Then the guards drove the car, and Shang Wen and Meng Yi sat in the back seat.

"I know, you must think, I'm crazy now. I also think I'm a little crazy right now. However, the reality is that there is nothing we can do about it now, and we do not yet know to what extent the crisis has occurred, why, and what it is. Shang Wen said.

"This is the first economic crisis of Qin, and there will be many more in the future, large and small, and many economic crises can affect the economy of Qin." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Listen to you. Do you seem to have experienced an economic crisis? Meng Yi asked.

"Let's just put it that way." Shang Wen said.

"The crisis that we are experiencing, according to the newspapers, is an inflationary economic crisis. In other words, there is a lot of money and paper money, but the current economic crisis of the Qin State seems to be a deflationary crisis, and this kind of crisis is more difficult to deal with. The impact will be significant. Many factory owners will go bankrupt and their products will not be able to sell. Shang Wen said.

"Right now, it's hard to see. I can't tell that either. And, what measures can be taken to avoid it. I don't know. It takes a real crisis before we can respond. But at that time, the whole market will react somewhat. Shang Wen said.

"Can't we do anything? For example・・・・・・ "Meng Yi himself didn't know what to say."

"No, you can't. That's what I'm talking about, we have to maintain the freedom of the market, which is important to Qin and will be the same in the future. Shang Wen said.

"I know, the reason why Qin State can maintain such rapid development is because of Qin's free economy." Shang Wen emphasized.

"Qin's free economy will bring supreme prosperity to Qin. But at the same time, he has a cycle, I don't know how many years this cycle is now, but the Qin State is developing like this, and after such a cycle, the Qin State economy will continue to prosper, weaken, and depression, and then there will be a period of peace. And then there was prosperity again. Then there is weakness. Depression. Rotation after cycle. This is the cycle of a free economy, a cycle that no one can avoid, but which is the characteristic of our economy. We need that kind of freedom to develop. Shang Wen said.

"So, can't we do something in advance, or intervene in anything?" Meng Yi asked.

"No, what can't we do? In the economic crisis, he himself was cured of his illness. Shang Wen said.

"This is the free economy. I just want to make it clear that at all times, we should maintain the independence and freedom of this market, which is the foundation of the Qin economy. The government's role is only to serve, and it should not be too involved in the behavior of the market. It's not good for the market. The market will arrange all the resources of this society, he himself will regulate, and we should not interfere too much. Do you understand? Shang Wen explained to Meng Yi.

"This is market freedom?" Meng Yi asked.

"Yes. This is the freedom of the market, even if we meet the king, we must strive for the freedom of the market, which is very important for the future development of the Qin State. Shang Wen said.

"Well, that's why you pulled me out?" Meng Yi asked.

"Yes, sort of." Shang Wen thought for a moment and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Next, the difficulties we have to encounter are even more difficult. A lot of things, for us for the first time. Still, we'll be able to do it for sure. Shang Wen said.

"Yes." Meng Yi nodded. Meng Yi thought a lot about Shang Wen's words, although he didn't understand what Shang Wen wanted to explain? But I understand that Shangwen wants to explain the meaning of a free economy. While Shangwen only makes it clear that he emphasizes the importance of a free economy, there is one point. Let Meng Yi. That is, the economy of the Qin State underwent major changes under the development of a free economy. If these are left, the economy of the Qin State will enter a realm like death. The unification of the Qin State became so unrealistic.

And inside the Xianyang Palace. King Qin woke up after taking a nap.

"Zhao Gao. What time is it? King Qin asked with his eyes closed at this time.

"Go back to the king. A little more than three? Zhao Gao replied at this time.

"Yes. The widow slept for four hours. Is there anything important going on? King Qin asked.

"Yes. Vice Minister Meng Yi called and said that there were some problems in the economy of Qin, and he needed to come to the king to explain it. Zhao Gao said.

"Oh. Notify them immediately to come to see the widow. King Qin immediately gave an order.

"Whoa." Zhao Gao got the order and went to convey the order.
