The two major expansions of the Qin state laid a good agricultural foundation for the Qin state. At the same time, it also diverted some of the employment pressure for the Qin State. The rapid development of agriculture provided a solid and powerful foundation for Qin's logistics, especially in terms of grain. This foundation was of great significance to the Qin State.
Without a solid agricultural foundation, it would be impossible for the Qin State to have great industrialization development. At the same time, Qin's weaponry will not be greatly improved in a short period of time. If the Qin State wants to make great progress in industry, especially on the basis of weapons, the Qin State must build its own agricultural base with high quality and high standards, and the standard of this agricultural base is that the food must be diversified and the quantity is very large, so large that it can be exported to affect a country.
The large-scale reform of Shangwen's farms and pastures clearly met such requirements. Moreover, he diversified the proportion of food in the Qin state. The structure of food is also becoming more and more rational.
Moreover, agriculture provided the necessary industrial raw materials for the industrial production of the Qin state. These are all things that South Korea does not have.
South Korea's land is narrow and its strategic space is underdeveloped, and South Korea is behind rapid development. It is also true that territorial claims, particularly in the area of land, have arisen. South Korea needs new land to build its own agricultural base. At this point, after South Korea experienced this intimidation of the Qin State. South Korea's upper echelons are finally realizing this.
"We are at a disadvantage in trade, which directly leads to our South Korea being at a disadvantage in trade with Qin, which gives us no right to speak." Zhang Liang analyzed.
"Anything else?" The queen asked calmly, suppressing her temper.
"In addition, a large number of our raw materials are imported from Qin, in addition to capital, as well as various machinery and equipment. We don't have any of that. Zhang Liang said.
"In addition to these, we have another important thing, our land space is too narrow. There are many powerful countries around us, and it is difficult for us to have new strategic space to provide us with a buffer. Zhang Liang analyzed.
And Han Shu at this time. Looking up, I subconsciously took a look at the current situation of South Korea. There are indeed many powerful countries around Korea, such as Qin, Zhao, Chu in the south, and Qi in the east. South Korea is in a strategic position, and the national defense in this position is the most complicated, and if the relationship with its neighbors is not properly managed, then diplomatically, South Korea will be in a great predicament. This is an absolute disaster for South Korea.
"Whew." Han Shu let out a heavy breath,
South Korea's current strategic space environment has indeed put a lot of pressure on her. South Korea is in such a geopolitical environment, and it is difficult to climb quickly in such an environment.
"So what are we going to do?" Han Shu asked.
"This. I don't know. Zhang Liang said respectfully.
When Han Shu heard such an answer, it really made her feel unhappy. Because, without a good strategy, it is difficult for South Korea to rise in a short period of time.
"Forget it." Han Shu waved her hand and said.
Han Shu knows very well that South Korea wants to rise in such a geopolitical environment. Difficulties.
"Your Majesty, our surroundings are not conducive to our development." A minister took the initiative to speak.
"We have the Wei State to the east, and behind the Wei State there is the Qi State, the Qi State, it is difficult for us to develop eastward, and the Qin State is behind us. They are always watching us, and once we have new movements, it will be difficult for us to have a chance to develop. The minister analyzed. And Han Shu looked at the map in a daze at this time. Obviously, the minister did not say the topic that Han Shu himself was most interested in, and this topic had already been said.
South Korea's surrounding geopolitical environment is indeed not good. There is the State of Qin to the west, the State of Chu to the south, and the State of Zhao to the north. Although there is a weak neighbor to the east, the Wei State is behind the Qi State, so that. No matter which direction South Korea develops, it must defeat a strong country, because there are many powerful countries around South Korea. South Korea can't mobilize all its strength to attack that country, let alone whether it can mobilize all its strength to attack one country, and the most troublesome thing is that other countries will not interfere. This makes it difficult for South Korea to make big moves in its surrounding territories.
Han Shu looked at the map and felt very troubled. Because South Korea's development space is really bad. And the powerful are all around.
"The king and the minister believe that if there is a new space in the territory of South Korea, it is necessary to carry out a flexible foreign policy in foreign affairs." Zhang Liang said after listening to the minister's analysis.
"Oh." Han Shu still looked at the map and said in a daze.
"We in South Korea should use the power of Qin to suppress the surrounding countries, and then participate in Qin's foreign war affairs, which is conducive to us to fight, and if it is not beneficial to us, we will avoid it." Zhang Liang said.
"Use the power of the Qin State to suppress the surrounding countries, and then seize some corner territories of the surrounding countries. At the same time, we also used the power of various countries to suppress the Qin State, making it difficult for the Qin State to have the opportunity to deal with us. Zhang Liang said at this time.
"Yes." Han Shu just nodded.
"You say, how about the widows put the new strategic space overseas?" At this time, Han Shu suddenly shifted the topic to the strategic space. The ministers have just discussed how to solve South Korea's foreign policy and suppress it through South Korea's flexible foreign policy. Then provide a good development opportunity. However, it is strange that Han Shu suddenly put forward the idea of an overseas development space at this time.
"Your Majesty, we don't have an outlet to the sea." A minister asked.
And Zhang Liang didn't say anything at this time, he knew. In Han Shu's heart, there has always been an ambition to develop overseas careers. No one can stop this ambition, despite the fact that South Korea is a traditionally land country with no access to the sea. Coupled with its geographical location, South Korea is not suitable for overseas development, and worst of all, South Korea is not yet able to directly reach the sea. It is precisely because of this that South Korea has many difficulties in developing its maritime industry, and even a country like Qin is obviously not so concerned about developing overseas business. Except for a very small number of them personally.
"This. The widow understands, but have you ever thought about it? There are so many powerful countries around South Korea. How South Korea wrests those limited lands from these powers, South Korea takes a piece of land. What a price to pay. Han Shu looked at the map and said.
And the ministers did not speak at this time, they knew very well that South Korea did not have such the ability to expand its territory at present, and the cost of expanding a piece of land was too high.
Han Shu took advantage of the development of businessmen to make South Korea develop quickly, and naturally, Han Shu also had to settle an account in her heart. This account is that the price of South Korea's expansion of a piece of land in the surrounding area is much higher than the ideal price in the minds of Koreans. If South Korea wants to expand a piece of territory in its neighborhood, it will inevitably lead to large-scale fighting. At the same time, South Korea has to devote a large number of troops to fighting. These forces require a lot of military spending, and it is clear that South Korea's economy has not been off to a long start, and such a large military expenditure is enough to crush South Korea's economy.
This is simply worse for the South Korean economy. Korea just wanted to break away from Qin's control, but they found that they couldn't break away from Qin's control.
"This." The ministers were completely speechless.
"We can't tear our faces with Qin State yet." Han Shu said.
"We want to use the Qin State to provide us with an advantage." Han Shu continued.
"You can look at the map." Han Shu continued.
"A railway and a highway in the Qin State have led to the south, and among the connections to the south, there is our Xinzheng in South Korea, and Luoyang occupied by the Qin State, these places, if you go directly south, you can reach Beigang, the new city of the Qin State." Han Shu pointed to the geographical location on the map and said.
"The Qin State built a large number of shipyards there, and the widow also invested in a shipyard there. With the help of the ships of the Qin State, we can go along the Yangtze River, go to sea, the situation overseas, who knows, there may be a large new land overseas, we need this land, to build a huge new Korea. Han Shu directly said her thoughts boldly.
As soon as Han Shu's thoughts were finished, the ministers were speechless, they didn't think of this at all. But Zhang Liang is a person who understands, and he knows better what the queen thinks in her heart. But he just didn't say it, he thought that Han Shu's idea was good. And it's very sufficient, in particular, there are a lot of resources overseas, and there is also a lot of undeveloped land, especially land, and there must be a lot bigger overseas than South Korea. If these places are discovered earlier, then South Korea can develop its own power by developing those overseas.
However, Zhang Liang believes that there is a big problem in the queen's strategic space, that is, the mainland is still in a situation surrounded by surrounding powers, and the development of overseas territories will lose the fact that the Korean mainland will be lost, and where will the local leadership be placed. Zhang Liang's conscience was very confused.
And Han Shu agreed with her very strange idea, and secretly admired it in her heart, she thought that South Korea was the only way to go away at present. If South Korea does not develop its overseas business, it will have no new strategic space.
For the new strategic space. South Korea is very much in demand. In particular, the cost of the development of strategic space is smaller. At the same time, the benefits obtained should be maximized, and it seems that only those overseas places that have not been discovered meet these requirements. Han Shu thinks that this idea of hers is very good. And it's worth mentioning.
In this regard, Han Shu had secretly made up his mind to carry out this plan, and the ministers began to break the calm and began to discuss the idea.
