427 Bootstrap Capital

Parents were silent for a long time. They begin to reflect on whether they are doing the right thing. Shang Wen's words are very long-term. But it also points out this objectively and realistically. On the issue of education, Shang Wen insisted on his own views. That is to fully maintain the freedom of teaching style. If a compulsive, high-pressure type of education is adopted, the effect and motivation are far from being comparable to interest.

Parents began to applaud. They use this method to express their inner identity. They thought the young prime minister was right. What the child learns. Why do you have to let parents interfere? This is unreasonable. It is also an immoral act that erases the child's nature. They agreed with Shang Wen's approach.

Shang Wen is also very grateful for the understanding of the parents. Although I don't know what the future holds. But Shang Wen is sure. As long as the children are hopeful. Then the future is worth looking forward to. We can only use our own years to watch the children play on the stage of their times.

Shang Wen's speech was recorded in its entirety. Published in major newspapers. This is very enlightening. The people of Qin began to think about how to educate their children and how to educate them. They took inspiration from Shang Wen's speech. That is, to give children a space to play freely. Let them use their imagination on their own. To summon courage, to perceive, to explore. Interest. Maybe that's what interest means. in order to give children free rein to play.

Shang Wen didn't know what his words were doing. However, some parents have begun to take the initiative to explore and cultivate their children's autonomy and independence. This was a major milestone in education in the Qin State. In the future, the rapid development of science and technology in the Qin State depended to a large extent on this.

Compared to education. Shangwen doesn't think about these issues. Even the issue of exercises is not something for him to consider. The exercise will always come to an end. However, in the face of huge military spending, this is a headache. Shang Wen has to make a big adjustment in the structure of government spending. Other words. Military spending will be cut to an acceptable level of the economy as a whole. This is because military spending has seriously reduced some public infrastructure spending. Or even forced to cancel. For example, the cost of education. At present, the cost of education is largely dependent on private capital. Even the government relied on fundraising to build public schools.

The huge military expenditure has seriously affected the next step of Qin's economic development. For example, on the issue of roads. At present, several major highways and highways in the Qin State were all built by the government under war conditions. On the country roads, on the branches of these roads. All rely on the spontaneous construction of private capital. Moreover, the specifications and sizes of the construction are not uniform. This requires the government to play a role. But here's the thing. The first thing the government has to solve is the issue of military spending. Although military spending has been compressed. But the sheer size of the exercise has swelled military spending again. Qin's economy could not be driven by military spending. We have to do it in a different way. This is the feeling of Shang Wen.

To solve this problem. First of all, Shangwen has to readjust his economic rhythm. In the face of military spending. Shangwen decided to compress it again. For example, the divisions of the army will be reorganized. Brigades will be formed between divisions and regiments. In one state, the state of Qin will station a brigade. In terms of armament forces. will be made up of regular troops, reserves. That is, those military forces that have undergone a certain amount of training. They are the armed forces of security companies, trading companies. Then there are the militias. The composition of the militia is complex. But it's an important step in addressing Army spending.

Because, military spending is sufficient as long as one brigade is maintained in peacetime. After the outbreak of war, a large number of reserve and militia forces can be called up at any time. The government only needs to allocate a part of the military spending. In the middle, a lot of expenses will be saved. For example, the soldiers' salaries, the maintenance costs of the base, and a large amount of logistical provisions. Compare these. The government spontaneously raised soldiers among the people.

The number of divisions is still retained. But only a few standing divisions are maintained. And they also rotate with each other. At the same time, the army can be disarmed on a large scale. All of a sudden. The reduction in military spending is very large. The Qin state has not yet been disarmed, because the states established later have not kept up. Newly established states, such as Mengzhou in the west, were still far from the front line of the Qin army. Immigration measures must keep up. That would be the way to withdraw those troops.

How to speed up immigration, Shang Wen really has no way. The current solution is already very fast. It only takes 200,000 people to establish a state. And also gave large tracts of land. But this is still not enough for the pace of the Qin army's advance.

Shang Wen believes that efforts should be made on the road issue, especially at present, with the increase in the production capacity of the Qin State. A large number of raw materials and products rely on several roads for this. This situation must be improved. These highways are all products of the Qin war, and now it is necessary to let the private development of highways pave the way for future wars.

Shangwen believes that the highway network should introduce private capital on a large scale. The government, on the other hand, can only participate in different ways such as equity participation, buyout, or subsidies. Its role is to provide the greatest guidance and encourage the participation of private capital.

The key to the road problem is tolling. How to charge. Highway is a huge engineering project. Especially highways. The upfront investment is very large. In order to recover the cost of funds, those private capitals often set up more charging checkpoints after the completion of the repair. Or high tolls and other means. It's a traffic problem. It is very detrimental to economic development. The further back you go, the more obvious this stubborn disease becomes. and even drag down the development of the economy. This stubborn disease must be eliminated in the first place.

Facing this new problem. Shangwen decided to adopt a new approach. That is, the land subsidy scheme. The expressway will be contracted out in sections according to certain strict standards. This is the cost of reducing the upfront investment. Then, at the section of the highway, the government sells the land to those contractors and lets them continue the development. This development site is actually a highway, a commercial location for highway development, a rest area, or a small town.

In this way, the interests of the merchants had to be put on a long-term basis. Because, to make more money. First of all, the road has to be built. In this way, there will be more people. There are more people. The more people rest. In this way, you can open a store and make a profit in business. This is a preliminary idea of Shang Wen.

Thinking of this, Shang Wen immediately drafted a preliminary document. Then it will be implemented after research. Just as Shang Wen was drafting, the door was kicked open.
