The Guanzhong region of the Qin State had the largest middle class in the Qin State. There are a large number of industrial workers gathered here. The wages of the workers of the Qin State were raised to eight hours a day, fifteen to twenty-and-a-half taels. This was enough to support the consumption activities of the middle class in the Qin state. Even the lowest-level migrant workers are paid five and a half taels a day. They can buy a car with the help of an installment loan from the bank. The use of automobiles is very wide-ranging. A taxi, for example, is a good job.

It was precisely the existence of a large middle class in the Qin State that created a huge rigid demand. This demand supports the rapid development of the automotive industry.

It's only half a month. There are more than 1,000 "Ding" cars in the Xianyang area of the Qin State. As the time enters the end of June. In July, the state of Qin is expected to produce nearly 10,000 of these cars. Other manufacturers have made a variety of deformation cars to seize market share. In particular, the construction of gas stations is widespread. The pace of automobile popularization has been accelerated.

Almost overnight. The streets of Xianyang, Qin State, were full of cars. Horse-drawn carriages still exist, though. But the number has been drastically reduced. Wealthy people are marked by owning a car. The average person also believes that the car is the best means of transportation. They don't have to feed the horses every day. The Ministry of Communications is drafting a document declaring Xianyang, Qin State, a city where horse-drawn carriages are prohibited.

It's not just domestic demand. The Queen of South Korea also sent a telegram. The queen of South Korea cannot stay in another country for a long time. There is a great deal of disagreement in South Korea. In desperation, the queen could only return home in mid-May. The telegram said that South Korea was going to order a hundred special luxury cars. to facilitate the Queen's travels. Such an order will be extended to a new model in the future. Sedan.

The major automobile manufacturers in Qin have started production at full capacity. New car production lines are constantly being put into production. But this also greatly consumed Qin's reserves in non-ferrous metals. Especially brass, copper. Non-ferrous metal ores are abundant in the south. The state of Qin needs to send people to find minerals. The transportation problem of the state of Chu remains unresolved. Ore prices remain high.

In the north, a large number of guns were replaced. In particular, the design of the rotary rear-pull bolt and magazine. The demand for bullets rose by a large amount all at once. The muskets of the Western Regions use black powder bullets. It can hit up to 200 steps. The rifle is a shot and a shot. The demand for bullets is not very large compared to the north. But the North is different. Their rifles used smokeless gunpowder. The bullet is capable of hitting a staggering distance of 900 paces. Their guns are long. This guarantees that they can shoot great distances. Plus the magazine design. Bullets are in high demand. Because they can shoot five bullets in a dozen seconds.

However, two pieces of news soon depressed the stimulus for copper demand in the south. The first one is. The Qin State built a highway from Luoyang to the Yangtze River in the south. This meant that the Qin state could borrow a waterway and then reach Xianyang by land transportation. But the price is also significant. It can be said that this highway of the Qin State is the road of blood and bones. Because the time to fix it is only a few months. This meant that the Qin state requisitioned a large number of slaves. The fact is that the highway is only tentatively opened to traffic. But at least more than 150,000 slaves died in the construction of the road.

In order to speed up the progress. The king of Qin even called in an army of slaves to build his own mausoleum. One hundred thousand Yueshi slaves entered these engineering projects. The slaves were divided into two classes. Highway construction is carried out day and night. Overwork led to the death of large numbers of slaves. But the detained officers showed no concern for him. They care about the schedule. Except for a large number of slaves. The use of some construction machinery is also one of the reasons. Road roller. The use of excavators and lifting vehicles accelerates the progress of the project. A large number of nearby migrant workers also joined in. The government pays salaries. Each person is paid three and a half taels to seven and a half taels per day according to the progress of the project. Wage differences are inevitable. This also solves a lot of employment problems.

However, before they could catch their breath, they immediately moved on to other engineering projects. The construction of the Southern Railway urgently needs a large number of manpower. After handing over the follow-up work on the highway to a small number of personnel, it was transferred to the construction of the railway.

Another piece of good news. The naval aviation of the Qin State successfully attacked the opponent's water village. According to preliminary statistics, about 300 large ships of various types were burned. The main force of the Chu naval army near the Qin naval base was basically completely annihilated. The Qin Navy cautiously issued this news after many reconnaissance statistics.

The news. The military soon announced it to Qin's journalists. As soon as this news was announced. Qin's four copper ingot futures fell across the board. The market is also starting to bounce back on the positive news. Emerging auto stocks rose sharply. There are also various circuit stocks that have also risen sharply. The market reacted more than expected.

However, the Qin navy was up to this time. There is still not a single decent ship. Large shipyards are relocating various machinery and equipment. Ships are just a drawing design. Only the military's fast gunboats had a decent model. The Qin Navy still needs half a year to build up its surface ship forces.

For this. Shang Wen knew very well. He is considering Fan Zeng's suggestion. Favorable chances of victory through the current war. Negotiate with the state of Chu. Temporarily ease the current situation. Fan Zeng has seen it. If the Qin State's current mineral resources problem cannot be postponed for the time being. It is bound to affect the local economic development of Qin. Or even trigger a series of serious consequences.

Qin's economy was built on extremely cheap mineral resources. Coal comes from the state of Zhao. The timber comes from the country of Yan. The oil resources of the Qi State, as well as the large number of non-ferrous metal ores of the Chu State. The prices of these resources have become low under the pressure of Qinguo Futures. It's not just the Qin family. South Korea's labor-intensive processing industry and Zhao's extractive industry were both economically linked to Qin's state. The state of Qin was at the very top of the economy. This means that there is an economic "cough" in Qin. Then South Korea, Zhao and Yan are likely to have symptoms of economic "cold".

The chain reaction of the economy was concentrated in the formulation of the national policy of the Qin state.

The naval problem is constrained by economic problems, and it is no longer possible to solve them completely. Qin needed to negotiate to slow down this time process. Other words. Within the scope of the original plan, the Qin state made some of it a specific goal. In fact, it can only be so. For this reason, it means that in the future, Qin and Chu will fight again because of the Yangtze River issue. It's just a matter of time. But what needs to be done now is to end this war. Negotiate to get the benefits of war.
