When Shang Wen proposed to mobilize a division for the return defense. Wei Yu's answer surprised Shang Wen.

"We have issued an order to transfer a division, a cavalry regiment from the center. 10,000 people were exchanged from the northern line and Taiyuan for defense. If needed, new troops can also be re-recruited to fight. Musket training is very convenient. We have a large stock of weapons. Wei Yu said happily.

"That's enough, recruit new troops. We don't have the money to pay for a lot of military spending. Shang Wen said. Wei Yu was surprised.

"Speaking of weapons, we also have to cut a lot of military orders. For example, the Navy will reduce at least twenty ships. The Celestial Army has at least cut more than half of the airships. The six-pipe Vulcan of the Army. Large-scale cancellations are required. Some militaries also need to retire soldiers. Let them into the factory, or whatever. In short, we have no money. Shang Wen said.

"Didn't we issue a lot of bonds?" Wei Yi asked.

"But more than that, it needs to be delivered. These bonds are cashed out. You know this. Especially now. We occupied a large area of land at once. We need to digest. It needs to be consolidated, it needs to be built. It takes a lot of money. Such a huge war military expenditure has already cost us a lot of money. Shang Wen explained.

Wei Yi was obviously a little difficult to pretend. The other day. Military orders are also being issued on a regular basis. But now. And not only to cancel military orders. And some of the armies will have to be cut. Let them retire.

"In addition, we have to make a series of diplomatic moves. The first is to help South Korea train for combat. We will be paid for military training. Other than that. Our inventory. Knock out a lot of flintlocks. Replace the firing musket. And that's just the beginning. We still have a lot of leftovers. I looked at the list of supplies. Our food and equipment can be enough to feed the front line for ten years. Shang Wen said.

"But the retired soldiers?" Wei Yi asked.

"We will arrange for them to be employed. And there is still a lot of land that needs them. These will certainly satisfy them. Shang Wen said.

"I am afraid that these things are not something you and I can do. This must be reported to the king. Wei Yi realized something. Then the monk said in time.

"I'm going to say it. These things are already very big moves. Shang Wen said.

"I'll go and tell the king." Saying that, Shang Wen immediately carried Yingyu back to the palace.

"By the way, can you arrange a carriage to give us a ride?" Shang Wen felt that Yingyu was quite heavy on his back. In particular, the back can't be straightened.

"Yes. Of course. Wei Yu said. Saying that, the two said goodbye. Leave the Captain's Mansion.

Arrived at Xianyang Palace. Shang Wen handed Yingyu over to her maid. Then he told the king of Qin his initial idea.

This is a series of military, diplomatic, political, military maneuvers. There's a lot going on. If it weren't for Han Shu taking the initiative to find Shang Wen. Shangwen's adjustment can also be completed. But it will take time. For a long time. But under the external force exerted by Han Shu. The pace of Qin's progress towards the capitalist road suddenly accelerated considerably. And Han Shu was the trigger for Qin to carry out a series of actions.

The core of the Qin state was economic issues. And a series of actions will revolve around the economy. The first task of the economy is to digest the enormous fruits of the war. The war has come to an end, and the Qin army is already victorious. And the fruits of the war are just beginning to be digested.

The Qin state annexed most of present-day Gansu, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia, as well as a small amount of Outer Mongolia and part of Xinjiang. And the door to Xinjiang has been opened, and it won't be long. The Qin state also had to expand a large part of its land.

The population of the Qin State could not meet the needs of so much land development, which was the biggest problem. This issue will be resolved as the immigration work unfolds. But the population still can't be solved. To solve it quickly. Only through diplomatic means can a large number of people from the Six Kingdoms be attracted into the Qin State. And this will inevitably lead to diplomatic trouble.

Diplomacy is backed by military power. Qin's army was to undergo a military reform. The revolution comes from the advancement of weapons technology ahead of its time. And the economic needs need to be adjusted by the army in a timely manner.

Large-scale mobilization for war is no longer possible. Local small-scale wars do not require a slow mobilization and huge expenditures. Slow efficiency of the army. Moreover, government spending cannot meet the needs of such a large army.

The Qin army needs change. The army should be slimmed. His size is to be kept appropriate. This is appropriate, and the Qin army maintains high mobility. This is what the demands of war demand. The Qin army's future targets were the scattered Xiongnu and unknown nomads. Constant harassment attacks, as well as high-mobility operations. It is impossible to go to a large-scale war against the six countries. Because of immigration needs. It is necessary to keep the Qin State in a positive image, and domestic stability is also the greatest need for economic construction. And the war will draw a large number of young adults. This is not what Qin wants to see the most.

In addition, economic demand will be the biggest driver. The army of the Qin State has initially taken on the style of a modern army. Especially in terms of obtaining the fruits of the war, the Qin State gained the most. The Qin army, which had tasted the sweetness, would inevitably continue. And next. The economy will shift to trade with the six countries. On trade issues. The Qin army needed to control the main traffic arteries and maintain rapid mobility to be able to deal with them in a timely manner. This trampled to death is the most fundamental.

Diplomatic aspects. The Qin State must be able to maintain intimidation of the other party anytime and anywhere. Diplomacy is supported by force. Flexible activities in the six countries. Facilitate trade.

The specific measures are to reduce military spending, encourage foreign trade, increase infrastructure construction, and provide economic and military assistance to Yan and South Korea.

These are all Shang Wen through Han Shu, Ying Yu, Wei Yu and others, as well as combined with what he has seen and heard. This is a more systematic and specific measure of the Qin State.

After Shang Wen sent Yingyu away, he hurriedly went to see King Qin to report and ask for instructions. Although Yingyu is a little reluctant. But it must also be separated. Because Shang Wen's identity is the prime minister. It is to shoulder the responsibility of the country of Qin.

Under the guidance of an attendant. Shang Wen met the King of Qin. After a simple etiquette. Shang Wen began to get to the point.

He told King Qin everything he had just sorted out. On the necessary diplomatic issues. Shang Wen even put forward the metaphor of "one pull and one block". The Yan State dragged the most threatening Zhao State and the Qi State, while Korea, as a buffer zone and gateway to the Qin State, blocked the main passage. And then take the initiative in foreign trade and completely destroy the economic foundation of South Korea. Make it impossible for them to maintain their political independence. In this way, it is possible to control the main channel.
