The wave of migration from the Qin State began with educational preparations. But the work ran into trouble. The main question is: The government does not have this money. It was also impossible to withdraw the money.

It's a time of war. Military spending accounts for more than half of fiscal expenditures. The refitting of the army's weapons, as well as the early arrival of the three major branches of the armed forces. The Qin government, which let Shang Wen take over, was a little unbearable. In addition, many projects are being launched. Like what. The Qin state wanted to develop a new urban area on the south bank of the Wei River. and the implementation of a large number of tax exemptions. For example, military factories produce weapons. A large part of the Qin state was considered to be fostered and was not taxed. Agricultural production too. Since it is the first year of land farm production. Shangwen did not tax it. Instead, a bill is being drafted to abolish taxes on agriculture. And so it goes. out of much. Less in. The financial situation is very worrisome.

The current situation in the state of Qin is: Agriculture and industry are going on in parallel. The two are not at odds. The financial pressure is high. And this kind of pressure is likely to bring the government down. Declared bankrupt.

That is undoubtedly the worst. The solution is undoubtedly taxation. But this is not advisable. It takes a long time to collect taxes. The object of taxation is related to the development of the Qin State. Shangwen has no intention of changing the status quo. There are a lot of commercial things that need to be fostered. This would require the government to spend a significant portion of its expenditure.

"I think we're going to have a lot more to do. It's even very difficult. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi. Shang Wen comprehensively considered the economic situation of Qin.

"Our previous economic activity was mainly driven by war. Now the war is coming to an end. It is impossible to rely on war to pull our economy. We need to change the mindset of the economy. Let them learn to think for themselves. Self-development. Shang Wen said.

Meng Yi is now very proficient in the work at hand. And began to adapt to this kind of work. This is mainly due to his ability to take on new things in a timely manner. In particular, technology patent applications. This opened his eyes to a lot of new things. Eye-opening. Meng Yi quickly recorded something.

"How?" Meng Yi stopped writing and said.

"Trade. Trade with the six countries. Shang Wen sorted out his thoughts and said.

"I looked at the arsenal, the garment factory. There are also many shops. Some factories produced large quantities of muskets. For example, Wenyang Arsenal. The old-fashioned Wenyang muskets, they actually produced 300,000 pieces. Shang Wen said.

"We have no less than 100,000 muskets in our warehouse. And it's all flintlock pistols. The Army asked for an additional sum of money. Ask to modify their flintlock pistols. Meng Yi said as he flipped through his notebook.

"Oh my God. The Army is going crazy. They already have an allocation of 300,000 gold. Their combined appropriations are greater than those of the Celestial Army and the Navy. We're going to cut half of the spending. And do everything you can to deal with those leftovers. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm." Meng Yi nodded. Documented.

"Foreign trade should be carried out quickly. Roads must be built. If necessary. The private sector should also be encouraged to build ships. But we don't know anything about the trade of the six countries. Shang Wen said.

"I have a report here. It seems that an embassy clerk from the state of Chu. This clerk was recruited on a temporary basis. He writes well. Probably means. It is recommended that we make good use of the water transport of the Yangtze River. It is better to export goods in weapons, perfumes. Uniform. as well as paper. Then import the rice, silk, etc. there. Meng Yi flipped through his notebook and said.

"Very thoughtful. What's that person's name? Shang Wen asked.

"I'll look for it." Meng Yi looked at his notebook and said.

"Found it. It seems to be called Xiao He. Meng Yi said uncertainly.

"Xiao He?" Shang Wen asked in surprise.

"Yes. It's called Xiao He. Meng Yi was sure.

"We're going to find this guy. This man is very knowledgeable. Shang Wen said.

"I'll send someone over in a moment. Invite someone over. Shang Wen said.

"Make sure you get people over. That's right. Someone sent the newspaper there by the way. Not only the state of Chu. There is also the country of Qi. Zhao Guo. South Korea and so on. Shang Wen said. Meng Yi's rapid record.

Just when Shang Wen and Meng Yi were discussing how to specify economic and trade strategies. A diplomatic storm is brewing.

Shang Wen wrote a Zhao, Qi, and Yan. The letters of the three kingdoms reached the kings of the three kingdoms respectively. The first to arrive was the State of Zhao. King Zhao was still a little patient. After reading Shang Wen's mediation book written in the vernacular.

"He, the Qin State, looks down on the widow too much. Every prime minister writes his letters like this. It's simply an insult to the widow. Mediation. Hum! The widow is not afraid of him Qin State. Mediation! Joke. As he spoke, he threw aside the paperwork sent by Shang Wen. Ignore it. And the ministers below don't know anything about it.

Zhao Guo is now a capable person who is not in the court. Guo Kai sent an envoy to the State of Qi. Discuss the matter of dividing the land of Yan Kingdom between the two families. Li Mu was fighting in the Yan Kingdom.

King Yan now retreats to Liaodong. Although it is now the beginning of February. But the weather in Liaodong is still cold. When King Yan received a letter from Shang Shu that was sent non-stop. King Yan suddenly felt that the cold in Liaodong was like spring. Qin Guo actually came forward to mediate. He demanded a truce between the two sides, although he did not know what humanitarianism was. But he knew. Yan Guo was saved.

The last person to receive the letter was actually Qi Guo. The king of Qi was obsessed with the women of the harem. Shang Wen's letters were ignored at all. Then win and take the reins and take power. After reading Shang Wen's letters, he openly ridiculed Shang Wen's writing in front of the messenger of the Qin State, which was not as good as a three-year-old child. The messenger was silent. After retreating, he quickly returned to Qin. This is a stone thrown into the calm waters of the lake. The waves will soon spread.

Just when several parties are engaged in diplomatic activities. Yan Guo discovered a surprising event.

In the vicinity of today's Chifeng in Inner Mongolia. An old man who was carrying arms and a car. While crossing a frozen river. Because of a slippery step. A grip on the instinct of the hand. Drag a box of muskets down. The heavy munitions smashed a big hole in the river. The head of the arms carrier was very annoyed when he saw it. "Damn it. Look for death. That's a lot of ammunition. The head yelled.

The old man also knew that arms were very valuable. Regardless of the cold on the water. Sharp looking. Luckily, the water is not very deep. But it's just too cold. Stuff is too heavy. In the midst of the shouting and scolding of the head. People began to salvage munitions.

Accidents happen like this. When they salvaged the munitions. When you make a fire and bake your clothes. They stumbled upon gold sand. They couldn't believe their eyes. It's just a dazzle to think that's all this. But a lot of people are starting to decide that it's not a dazzle. It's gold.
