1044 One more thing

Wang Qian's disgust is justified. Because, he is a major player in the military. The construction of the military has always been at a stage of secrecy, plus they were directly subordinate to the King of Qin. Therefore, their organizational construction is full of mystery, coupled with the special role of the army. They acted as a violent organization of the King of Qin, and although they were also a violent organization of the state, but, to some extent, they were more of the private armed forces of the King of Qin.

It is precisely such a character that exists. This led to a certain secrecy in the construction of the army. Although Shang Wen's several reforms aimed at the army's establishment, honor, number, weaponry, officer building, and other aspects of large-scale reform, this mystery of the army has not been made public.

At least, in the eyes of the people, people still don't know much about the army, and although the newspapers have reported on many aspects, they still don't understand some things about the army. For example, the movement of troops.

Newspapers and media often learned after the fact that the prime minister, although he also had the power to mobilize troops, was limited to the marines outside the country. And the premise is that the interests of the country must be guaranteed.

As the chief of staff, Wang Jian is naturally reluctant to intervene too many people.

"The army has the rules of conduct of the army. Too much political interference, too much economic interference, leads to unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice. In order to avoid such bloodshed and sacrifices, we must keep a certain distance from them, and our army must maintain our independence, but at the same time must not lose its loyalty to the King of Qin. Wang Jian said at a high-level military meeting.

Perhaps such a passage says it all. The construction of the army was ultimately inseparable from the royal power, but they had to maintain their independence.

"How can the prime minister explain? Is our Governor's Mansion also going to be involved? Wei Yi said after getting such an urgent telegram.

"My lord, what are we going to do?" The servant on the side asked.

"Let's just wait for the king to convene a high-level meeting." Wei Yu said.

And in the palace of King Qin. Shang Wen was anxiously waiting for King Qin's summons.

"Wipe your sweat." Yingyu at this time. He took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shang Wen.

"No, I don't. No. Shang Wen waited a little anxiously at this time. Along the way, Yingyu explained to Shang Wen in the car, and Shang Wen realized that he would inadvertently ruin the tax collection meeting. In Shangwen's view, the tax council already had some oversight powers of some parliaments, and if they were to be included in the army's spending, then they would have a certain authority. But in doing so, Shangwen was interfering with the Qin king's control of the army through a tax council. Because the army does not have the authority to make such an explanation. If this explanation is opened, then it means that the army must give an explanation to the tax collection conference. So. Inevitably, a law will be formed to limit the military. Moreover, the tax council will interfere with the size and construction of the army by controlling government spending. This is where Wang Jian worries. At the same time, it is also the most sensitive topic between Shangwen and King Qin.

Every reform of Shangwen, as long as it involves the issue of control of the army, is a risk. Shang Wen's insensitivity to military power directly led to his slow reaction in this matter.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister asks to see you." At this time, Zhao Gao bent down and said respectfully and quietly.

"Yes." King Qin just nodded.

"They're here for this?" King Qin asked at this time.

"Like, it should be." Zhao Gao said with some confusion.

"Hey, hey." When King Qin heard this, he said with a smile.

"Let him in!" At this time, King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, what about Princess Wenyang?" Zhao Gao asked cautiously at this time.

"This. Let's come in one piece, too. King Qin said.

"Whoa." Zhao Gao replied respectfully.

Zhao Gao soon came to the outside of the main hall.

"Eldest princess, prime minister, please." Zhao Gao said respectfully at this time. Zhao Gao was very clear about the relationship between the two. And. Zhao Gao is usually the closest person to King Qin, and he can still figure out some of King Qin's thoughts. He knew how much the appearance of these two people meant to the Qin State.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao." Yingyu said politely. Shang Wen didn't pay attention to this, and strode in. Shang Wen ignored these because he was in a hurry. After the two of them left. Zhao Gao's face was a little displeased, mainly because of Shang Wen's attitude. Although he also knew that this prime minister was currently the most proud minister of King Qin, and this prime minister did things strangely, and he ignored too many things in etiquette, and even King Qin sometimes didn't care too much about these, but this was for Zhao Gao, who had to be careful about small things. There are some that I can't get used to. Although, his factory was able to bring a lot of profits. But. In this little thing. There are still some minor flaws on both sides.

"See Father." After Yingyu saw King Qin. Respectfully salute.

"Your Majesty." Shang Wen also saluted, compared to Yingyu's salute. Shangwen's etiquette is much simpler. And when King Qin saw Shang Wen's salute, he laughed.

"Our prime minister is getting more and more concise. Heard. You don't even have to say hello to your cabinet members. Inside your office. Your people can call you Mr. directly. Then, you can just turn things over. Is it? King Qin didn't say anything else, but directly said another thing.

"Yes." Shangwen just shrugged. It means that there is such a thing.

"Minister, it's just that I think it's too troublesome to do that. Moreover, some things have been dragged on because of these things, so they have to be simplified directly. Shang Wen explained.

"Yes. Sit it all down. King Qin said at this time.

"Sir is here for the tax council?" King Qin asked directly. King Qin knew it very well. Shang Wen is the kind of person who has a straight temper, and everything he says comes directly. And sometimes, in order to do one thing. Shang Wen always didn't care about anything else. Innovation in technology. Let King Qin understand the temperament of this prime minister.

"Yes. I think, Your Majesty, that I need to explain something about this. Shang Wen said anxiously. And Yingyu on the side was anxiously trying to hold Shang Wen at this time. Because Shang Wen was too anxious.

"The tax collection meeting, just wanted to ask something. For example, military spending is used in specific situations. You know, most of the taxes we collect come from their wallets. Naturally, they want to know what their money is going to. These places, reasonable and unreasonable, are not, wasting their money. Shang Wen said anxiously.

"Yes. Anything else? At this time, King Qin said.

"Although, in the affairs of the army, there should not be too much interference. However, to tax the meeting, it is necessary to know a few things, for example, the use of fees. This is also a kind of responsibility of the military. Supervise. Shang Wen said.

"If the military is not too transparent, then it will cause some bad consequences." Shang Wen said.

"So, the tax collection meeting, want to know something." Shang Wen said.

After Shang Wen finished speaking, he looked at King Qin.

"Isn't that new?" King Qin asked at this time.

"Yes. Without. Shang Wen said at this time.

"Why do you want the Tax Council to intervene in the army?" King Qin said at this time.

"First of all, I would like to explain the tax collection meeting. The king. Shang Wen waved his arm and said. And Yingyu on the side pulled Shang Wen's sleeve. And King Qin had already noticed this detail.

"Taxation meetings come from the grassroots of the people, and they can reflect the will of the people very well. In this way, we can get what the people most desperately want through the tax collection conference, and according to these, our reforms can be close to their actual state. Shang Wen said.

"The reason why we joined the military is that our spending is very uneven, and the military needs to consume a lot of social resources, and they will not provide any social output, on the contrary, they will consume a lot of things. And the taxation meeting, is to discuss, most of them and economic construction, that is, they will generate a lot of social value and resources. These two, almost contradictory. We now need to sum up these two contradictions. Then reconcile the two contradictory balance points. Shang Wen explained. Shang Wen said as he gestured with his hand.

"So, you're bringing the tax collection conference to the military?" King Qin asked.

"Yes. The king. Shang Wen replied affirmatively at this time.

"Yes." King Qin nodded at this time.

"What is your purpose?" King Qin said at this time.

"Purpose?" Shang Wen asked rhetorically at this time.

And Yingyu on the side wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

"I just wanted to strike a certain balance between the two. Military spending is simply too great. He seriously interfered with the economic development of the Qin state. At the same time, the use of expenses of the military. Nor publicly, we don't know what the hell is going on? We only learned about some of the projects after they were launched, but at that time, the government had to pay a lot of money. The government's fiscal revenues are very bad. Shang Wen said anxiously.

"That's all?" King Qin asked at this time.

"Yes, that's all. That's enough for us. We need some explanation from the military. That's all. Shang Wen stretched out his hand and said. And King Qin looked at Shang Wen. And Yingyu on the side reached out and pulled Shang Wen's arm.

"Yes. So the widow will tell you something else? "This time. King Qin said to Shang Wen.

"Another thing?" Shang Wen asked with some surprise.

"The prime minister is still unmarried, right?" King Qin asked with a smile at this time.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded blankly at this time. And Yingyu's face on the side turned red all of a sudden.
