South Korea's secret channel refers to the fact that South Korea is learning the content of Qin's telegrams by listening to telegraph communications.

The Qin state was very confident in telegraph communication, and they considered themselves unique in this regard, because they invented the telegraph, and most of the telegraph users were concentrated in Qin, a small number in Korea, and some small parts in Zhao and Yan, and one point was being sent to Chu.

Moreover, the telegraph personnel of these countries were professionally trained by the Qin State, and it can be said that the Qin State was the master of these countries. And the telegraph operators of these countries were only one of the apprentices of the Qin state.

Not only that, the Qin State was in a far leading position in terms of communication equipment, and many key communication equipment were installed by the Qin State. With these, the Qin State was naturally very confident in their great achievements in telegraph and telephone communication. This achievement is their self-confidence.

"Don't let too many people know about these things." Han Shu said immediately.

"Minister, understood." Zhang Liang said cautiously.

Although, for the time being, South Korea could not know the current situation of Qin from the content of the telegram, because the envoy of the king of Qin had not yet received instructions from the state of Qin, and the envoy of the king of Qin had not yet come into contact with the situation they wanted.

After receiving instructions from the Qin side. The South Korean side immediately launched an operation.

"Click, click." Telegraphs and punches were quickly printing out the messages they received. A lieutenant came over at this time, cut the tape with scissors, and glued it to the document. Then he took the document and left. They needed to translate that telegram immediately. The content of this telegram was to ask them to transfer the head of the newly established republic to Sinzheng, South Korea, where they would meet with the envoy of the King of Qin. They need to negotiate confidential matters.

And in the Qin State, Shangwen was facing a huge challenge. This challenge came from within the Qin state.

"Taxation is a nationwide act." A delegate to the meeting stood up and said.

"We have a right to know the intentions and usefulness of the state's use of the tax revenue. I don't think we should have a discussion about how to tax it. Instead, on the question of usefulness, the prime minister should be asked to give an explanation. The conference delegate pointed in Shang Wen's direction at this time.

And all the people have paid attention to Shang Wen's side at this time.

"Whoa." At this time, the delegates began to talk about this amazing topic.

"So, can the prime minister explain this to us?" The representative made a gesture of please.

At this time, Shang Wen put down the pen in his hand a little unnaturally. He looked at the people around him with some nervousness. Then, a little overwhelmed, he lowered his head and sorted out his clothes.

"This." Shang Wen stood up and said.

"Can I say a couple of words myself?" Shang Wen said at this time.

And the people around nodded. Other representatives agreed.

"I myself had ears, hands, and brains for this tax collection meeting. Come and participate. Shang Wen said at this time.

"I didn't plan to bring my mouth here, because, I can't tell anything about this meeting?" Shang Wen said a little nervously.

"You may have noticed this in the past few days." Shang Wen said.

"I'm just sitting here, listening to you reflect the problem, and then classifying the problem. Ponder. Then solve these problems. Shang Wen waved his hand and said.

"I don't know how many questions I've summed up. Because, in the face of the big problem of taxation, I didn't have a clue for a while, and I had a headache for the past few days. I can't fix this. Shang Wen said very frankly. The surrounding representatives all nodded their heads, and they recognized the young prime minister's sincere work attitude.

"Whew." At this time, Shang Wen exhaled deeply.

However, the representative was right. As taxpayers, you have the right to know what these government revenues are being spent. Shang Wen said at this time.

"However, I need a little time to prepare, because I need to compile a preliminary data to make a report for you. Let you have an intuitive understanding. Shang Wen said.

"You guys, can you give me a moment?" Shang Wen said at this time.

"Whoa." The delegates deliberated.

"Yes, we can give a certain amount of time." The delegates said one after another.

Shang Wen nodded yes. And then. Exit. Shangwen needed a preliminary data. to make a report.

More than an hour later. Shang Wen walked quickly to the center of the venue. He had a thick folder in his hand.

"Ahem." Shang Wenrun said with his voice moistened.

"I'm going to give you a financial report on the last two years of the Qin State." Shang Wen said.

All the delegates were quiet at this time.

"Because, I've just been in power for more than two years." Shang Wen said at this time.

"In the first year of my reign, a lot happened in the state of Qin. Moreover, the state of Qin is changing all the time. Therefore, many of the data of the Qin State are not comprehensive enough. For example, in the first year, the financial revenue of the Qin State was not completely registered, because at that time, the Qin State had not yet built large-scale factories and equipment, the situation of farms had not been popularized on a large scale, and various economic work had not yet been carried out. Shang Wen said at this time.

"However, we can only give a general data and give an intuitive understanding of the bit." Shang Wen said.

"Speculation based on official data from the State of Qin." Shang Wen took out a piece of paper at this time and said.

"The financial income of the Qin State in the past two years is only less than three million gold." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Whew." After the people in the audience heard these words. Everyone was amazed. Because, the Qin State is developing so fast, it is impossible for the financial revenue to be so small. You can do such a big construction project.

But in reality, the overall income of the Qin State was so much. Compared with before, Qin's fiscal revenue was still more than before. At one point, Shangwen was very satisfied.

"Be quiet." Shang Wen motioned for everyone to be quiet at this time.

"That's probably all there is to Qin's financial revenue. However, the state of Qin issued a large number of bonds. These bonds are calculated on a five-year maturing. The sum of the debts of the Qin state. The cumulative amount is more than 20 million gold. At this time, Shang Wen directly said the debt problem of the Qin State.

"So much." At this time, the representatives of the Qin State said one after another.

"Yes. That's all. Shang Wen said loudly at this time.

"Without so many bonds, the Qin State would not be able to support such a huge war expense. Not only that, but the state of Qin will not be able to undertake the entire construction of the country. Shang Wen said at this time. In fact, Shang Wen also concealed another thing, that is, Shang Wen took a considerable amount of money from it by printing more paper money. This amount of money helped the Qin State tide over a lot of difficulties. For this matter. Shang Wen regarded it as top secret and did not take it out and make it public, if, after the representatives present knew about it, what would they think of their way of robbery.

"It is these bonds that the Qin State has relied on to support the current situation. In addition, there is also a sum of money from the society, who helped the Qin State to build a considerable part of the educational facilities, and the establishment of these facilities has made a great contribution to the education of the Qin State. Again, I need to point out that there are no such sums. Our children will fall far behind in education. For that, I would like to express my gratitude very much. Thank you. Thank you. Shang Wen bowed at this time to express his gratitude.

"Whoa." All the delegates at this time burst into applause, and it was for them. It is a great recognition, first of all, Shang Wen, as the head of the civil officials of the Qin State, can take the initiative to recognize, this is their great honor. Secondly, Shang Wen's attitude, Shang Wen can take the initiative to admit this matter, saying that Shang Wen attaches great importance to education. It can be said that Shang Wen attaches great importance to the future of the Qin State. At this point, everyone agreed with Shangwen's attitude.

The last point is that Shang Wen was able to put down his identity as prime minister and take the initiative to thank everyone. It makes all people feel a sense of respect. Feeling a kind of recognition, in such a recognition and respect, the representatives of the Qin State applauded one after another to show encouragement.

"Thank you." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Thank you." Shang Wen said at this time.

"In terms of expenditure, the data I have obtained is that the Qin State spends the most on war, which accounts for as much as 42 percent, and the lower is public infrastructure, less than 37 percent. Only seven per cent in education. Other special payments, such as disaster relief, bank loans, tax exemptions, are less than 2.5 per cent. The rest of the expenditures, for the royal family, and some for the royal family. Shang Wen said at this time.

"Royal expenses?" At this time, a representative asked.

"Yes, royal fees." Shang Wen emphasized at this time.

"Part of the government's financial revenue has to be handed over to the royal family to deal with, and this part of the cost should be said to be relatively normal." At this time, Shang Wen used a relatively normal one to illustrate this situation.

"Oh." The delegates clearly understood what that meant. The whole country belonged to the King of Qin, and the King of Qin charged royal fees at this time, which means that it is a very legitimate reason. However, the delegates were still somewhat unnatural, arguing that the Qin king's royal income should come from royal investment, not from the state, and that the state's fiscal revenue came from taxpayers. Although no one said it explicitly, they still had some small knots that had not been unraveled, which showed that the people of Qin had realized something in terms of taxation at this time.
