The convening of a strategic security meeting in Qin was not a big deal in the first place, because Shang Wen had also proposed to convene a similar meeting before, but this meeting gave Shang Wen a bad signal.

This bad signal must first start with the content of this meeting of the Qin State.

The background of this meeting of the Qin State was precisely at the time of the slave rebellion in the north of the Qin State. This just aroused the sensitive nerves of King Qin.

"This slave rebellion shows that there are various security risks in the Qin State." The long report said.

"At present, the Qin State is expanding rapidly, especially to the north and west, and the Qin State has expanded a large area of territory. Domestic development is also rapid, but it should be pointed out that the Qin State faced such a rapid and large territorial expansion, which caused a series of problems. That report first pointed out an important reason for the security risks in the Qin state.

According to Shang Wen's understanding, plus this report that does have a lot of gold content. Shang Wen believes that this report does show that the Qin State is indeed due to excessive expansion and has brought about a series of problems at present.

The first was the rapid expansion of the territory, and the population growth rate of the Qin State was not very large. During the same period, the number of immigrants from the six countries exceeded two million, but more than two million arrived in the newly occupied places of the Qin state, less than one million. The territory expanded by the Qin State had exceeded the area of the original Chu State by almost four times. There is so much land and so little population. This doomed the western and northern parts of the Qin State to face the problem of vast land and sparse population.

The newly occupied lands of the Qin state were scarcely populated. In the other direction, the population of Qin was rapidly expanding. According to economic statistics, in the first month of the Qin year, three cities with a population of more than one million appeared at once. The populations of Yongcheng, Chang'an, and Guyang in the north grew rapidly to one million, a number never seen before. The appearance of three of them at this time frightened King Qin and his ministers, and even the cabinet members felt a little incredible.

But there is an inevitability behind it. With the beginning of Qin's large-scale industrial production and the beginning of socialized large-scale production, the population of Qin's State began to enter the stage of urbanization on a large scale, especially the beginning of industrialization, and a large number of industrial workers were crowded in these large cities with a population of more than one million.

Among the three large cities that appeared in the Qin State. Except for Yongcheng. The remaining two are all new industrial cities. Guyang is an important steel industry city in the north, where stainless steel is produced, as well as various rare earth alloy steels, as well as various industrial machinery and equipment. Chang'an is an emerging industrial area, where a large number of automobiles, airplanes and other emerging industries are concentrated. Yongcheng is because of its proximity to the railway hub. It became a huge railway interchange center. Xianyang in the Qin State is currently the largest railway and highway transportation hub. A large number of goods need to be re-turned in Yongcheng. Therefore, Yongcheng has become a prosperous place for commercial trade transactions. There is also a large concentration of office space.

On the one hand, the northern, western, newly occupied lands of the Qin state did not have a large number of migratory populations. On the other hand, the population of the Qin State was constantly pouring into the big cities. The size of the city expanded rapidly. Population resources are facing extreme strain.

Take the North, for example. The number of slaves exceeded the number of slaves in the north by nearly four times, and with the garrison of Qin in the north, the ratio reached almost five to one. This ratio is for the state of Qin. is extremely dangerous.

"It is difficult for the Qin people in the north to control the entire north, and there are more slaves than the Qin people in the north. It doesn't matter if it's a new Qin person or an old Qin person. This is a great danger. King Qin said at that security meeting.

There was indeed such a danger in the Qin state. And this danger cannot be eliminated all at once.

According to the temperament of King Qin. The king of Qin would definitely order the slaves from the north to be relocated to the south at once. No matter how devastating, these slaves had to be relocated. The reason for this is that among the large number of slaves, there was a considerable proportion of natives. That is, the Huns and the Huns. Locals rely on their knowledge of the local area. They are easy to rebel against.

Indeed, the Qin people adopted the strategy of razing and using the local people to manage the locals. However, there are big hidden dangers in this approach. In this outbreak of slave rebellion, a considerable number of slaves took the lead in the rebellion because they understood the habits of the Qin people.

The Qin state still had great deficiencies in the management of slaves. But the Qin State still needed such slaves. The Qin state needed these slaves to manage and tend to their grassland pastures, while the slaves would riot. This becomes a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile.

On the issue of the use of slaves, the Qin state was in a great dilemma. Because of the pros and cons of slaves, the king of Qin delayed the order of the great migration. Although the most important thing at the moment was the suppression of slave revolts. But the slave problem had to be solved.

Secondly, in addition to the slave issue. Qin had a more serious problem. That is, with the expansion of territory, new defense problems are brought with it. The rapid expansion of Qin's territory has brought great changes to Qin's neighbors.

The Qin state occupied large territories of the Xiongnu, Hu, and Yueshi. Qin's new national defense strategy requires. The state of Qin had to devote a considerable part of its forces to defend against the counterattack of its opponents. Especially the fierce Xiongnu and Hu people in the steppe. These two racial groups, the most ferocious and unruly, will certainly retaliate. To this end, the Qin State needed to invest more than 100,000 troops to defend it. Behind this figure, there is a large amount of logistical supplies, as well as the replenishment of various supporting facilities. These were all draining the financial resources of the Qin State.

New changes have also taken place in Qin's peripheral strategic security environment. On the one hand, the Qin State not only had to guard against the Xiongnu, but also the southward movement of the Hu people. At the same time, it is also necessary to guard against the safety of the Qin State on the Eastern Front. In short, the defense of the Qin State has changed a lot. Previously, the Qin state could adopt a defensive strategy to the west and an offensive strategy to the east. Now, however, the two defense strategies have attracted most of Qin's defense forces. The state of Qin simply did not have the strength to conduct a war of unification.

The last serious problem is that Qin's overall national defense capability has declined. This is what King Qin himself thinks. In fact, he believes that it is difficult for Qin to stabilize the national defense of such a large country with less than 250,000 troops at present. The state of Qin needs a new round of replenishment, at the very least, the king of Qin believes that the king of Qin still needs two divisions of troops to make up for the current predicament.

These questions. Shang Wen can't solve it for the time being. Demographic issues, which will take time to solve. According to the following birth survey of the Qin State. In the past two years, the level of medical and health care has risen rapidly, as well as the rapid improvement of people's living standards. The number of newborn babies in the Qin State increased by nearly two million at once. Among these children are a large number of children of different races, these are the consequences of the expansion of the Qin State, the women of the Western Regions have become the tools of the men of the Qin State to give birth, and the people of the Qin State do not have to worry about food, the birth population has increased so much rapidly. And that number is increasing. No one lacked food, nor did they lack any supplies, especially women, and women of different races from all over the country became an important tool for the Qin State to increase its population.

And it will take twenty years for these births to be resolved. So, Shang Wen believes that it will take time. There is no solution at this time.

The birth population cannot be solved in a short time, but the migrating population can, after the Qin State released the migratory population. More than two million people have been relocated. But the growth figures are somewhat lower. The main reason is that the economies of various countries have developed closely with the pace of Qin. For example, Cho Guo, South Korea.

These are the results of a country's long-term operation, and these problems cannot be solved by Shangwen for the time being. But the last question. Shang Wen thinks. King Qin's understanding was very biased.

The Qin state was constantly fighting foreign wars, although there was no shadow of a regular army in these places. But there are a lot of hired people. Moreover, everyone in the Qin State in China has the right to gun support, and there are a large number of gun clubs, and the emergence of these clubs has trained a large number of excellent militiamen for the Qin State. Qin's national defense mobilization potential will be very large. Coupled with the development of various industrial facilities in the Qin State.

A variety of jobs were becoming Qin's potential war mobilization force. The builders became good sappers, those boilermen became the ship's engineers, and so on. These workers of the Qin State were all becoming potential war mobilization forces.

Not only that, but the factories where these workers are located. As long as it is wartime, it can become a powerful industrial reserve force of the Qin State. These forces are all latent and invisible. Other than that. A large number of women are not only engaged in copywriting, but also engaged in industrial production and research of various new things. These were all potential war mobilization forces of the Qin State.

And the king of Qin only saw the current national defense strength of the Qin state, and ignored the potential war mobilization ability. This made Shang Wen very incomprehensible. Not only that, he believes that the king of Qin is still referring to the traditional national policy of the previous Qin state to govern the country. This made Shangwen find it difficult to understand.

Regardless of the concept of governance, Qin does not lack national defense capabilities at present, what is lacking is whether there is no need for Qin to carry out all-round mobilization. In the event of a general mobilization, the entire economy of the Qin State would be transferred to the wartime economic track. A large amount of industrial production entered the wartime orbit. The whole price is still very high.

Shang Wen resolutely did not want this to happen. So, in his opinion, this report was wrong at the last stage and was not supported. Shang Wen also seconded some of his views and suggestions. He hoped that this would impress the King of Qin. In this way, it was possible to avoid the war from disrupting the economic production order of the Qin state.
