2579 ship problem
"I have a not-so-mature plan. It's about technology transfer in the Qin State. Shang Wen said.
"Tell me about it." Meng Yi said.
"Hmm. The thing is that at present, we have a lot of more mature technologies, such as steam engine processing, machining, and some steel smelting, etc., in cement manufacturing, although the output has not been effectively improved. However, they still played an important role. Relatively speaking, the development of the Guanzhong area of the Qin State was relatively fast. Shang Wen said.
"That's right." Meng Yi nodded in agreement with Shang Wen's point of view.
"However, as far as the current development of Guanzhong is concerned, we seem to see that Guanzhong has developed to a certain saturation stage, although there are some new technologies appearing, but the old technology occupies a monopoly position, not only that, a large amount of money as much as possible to give full play to the advantages of the original technology, in this case the development of Guanzhong area, there seems to be a state of saturation, but you and I both know that such saturation is a false phenomenon. And in more areas, such development is needed. In other words, the fastest-growing Guanzhong region was already saturated, while the rest of the Qin state was in a state of extreme demand. There was a great imbalance in the development of the Qin state, which was extremely unfavorable to the future development of the Qin state. Shang Wen said.
"What do you think?" Meng Yi asked again.
"Taxation, adopt unequal taxation methods, take taxation methods for steel, cement, and steam engine manufacturing, mechanical processing and other enterprises, tax reductions and encouragement for the power industry, as well as industries with development potential in the future, so that we can move out a large number of iron and steel enterprises, or expand the scale, for iron and steel enterprises, especially those enterprises that do not have new technologies, we can give technical tax support. Or direct subsidies, tax exemptions, and so on. In this way, the problem of unbalanced development of the Qin State can be effectively supported. Shang Wen said.
"As a result, the financial pressure on the state governments will be greater, and they will not have any advantage to speak of, and I am worried that it will not be good for them." Meng Yi said.
"The disadvantage comes from the weak financial capacity of the state government, and we can't provide them with sufficient funds, so it is extremely disadvantageous for us and the state government, and their financial revenue is also extremely unclear." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"That's exactly what happened. But they have land, they have resources, don't forget. They occupy vast land, and the resources on the land are far greater than we can imagine, and the state government can take the land, the resources, to attract investment. I think that in the future, the Qin State can do the same in the Western Regions, after all, the Qin State occupies a large amount of land, but the development of them is extremely limited, in this case, the Qin State is in a disadvantageous state. Shang Wen said.
"In order to reverse this situation, Qin must take some decisive measures to develop the economy, and only in this way can Qin's economy quickly enter the stage of development." Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. I agree with you that we can give it a try. In terms of the specific objects of taxation, we need to integrate relatively, such as how enterprises in some key areas can induce their further development. Meng Yi said.
"Yes, it's a good choice, or rather, you've made the right choice." Shang Wen said.
"Looks like we're going to need to be busy again." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
Sinzheng, South Korea.
"According to the integration of Qingcheng, they are working hard to integrate shipbuilding resources, and they have integrated a joint shipyard in the name of Lianhe, which has a large shipbuilding scale and can fully meet our needs in this regard. Moreover, after the integration, funds and resources can be concentrated to effectively carry out shipbuilding production, and the speed and scale of shipbuilding will be expanded several times. In the future, it can fully meet the needs of our South Korean Navy and civilian aspects. Zhang Liang reported to Han Shu. As the date of the opening of the Korean stock market is getting closer and closer, the South Korean side is also intensively carrying out asset integration, in order to effectively complete the financing level and strength of the enterprise.
"Hmm. Well done. Han Shu said.
"However, if you look at this, it is said that this news came from the Qin State, and the Qin State Staff proposed a plan for the attack of Goguryeo." Han Shu said.
"You and I both know that the Qi people support the southern tribes, and their attitude towards the southern tribes is very clear, that is, to exchange land for the living space of the Qi people, but the Qi people need a large number of ships, because their shipbuilding level cannot be compared with ours. On the other hand, the Yan people also seem to be very interested in this news, and they want to start a project with us to build some simple, small ships to satisfy the Goguryeo people. Han Shu said. Zhang Liang quickly read the report.
The report mentions the idea of the Qin General Staff, who hoped that the Goguryeo would be able to use cheap ships to transport logistical supplies, because if attacking from land, the roads would be very inconvenient, and Goguryeo would not be able to develop the current situation. This is not good for the Goguryeo people, and an attack from the sea can effectively solve such a problem.
"In this case, the demand for ships will increase a lot. However, the Yan side of the country. Zhang Liang said worriedly.
"I am worried that the establishment of the shipyard of Yan Guoren will be extremely detrimental to the development of our South Korea, because it will greatly promote the bad competition in the shipbuilding industry." Han Shu exhaled and said.
"And from the other side. For example, from the Chu State, after the Chu State bought our ships, they immediately set up the Wuyue Shipyard, and at the Wuyue Shipyard, they dismantled our ships and imitated them, although we knew that the result of their imitation was that they might build a large number of ships of our kind, but we could not stop them from doing so, after all, the relationship between the two countries was not so tense that there were major differences on the same technical issues. Han Shu said.
"But in the face of such competition, in the future, our advantages will be gradually dismantled, which is not good for us, if we join a Yan country at this time, or that is, we must guard against Qi country, Yan country and other countries in shipbuilding technology to suppress us, otherwise, our shipyard has no technology at all." Han Shu said.
The king is right, and the minister is worried. However, we have nothing to do about it, if we don't take technical cooperation, the other party can also use different methods to obtain the technical information they want, how to take cooperation, such as the Qin State, maybe it will be more beneficial to us, you know, we can rely on the technical advantages to expand the expansion capacity of our shipyards, and further strengthen our profitability. Zhang Liang said.
"You mean we can do the technical output?" Han Shu asked.
"Yes, what the minister means is this, if we can export technology, the current shipbuilding technology content is low, we can earn some processing costs at most, such ships are easy to be imitated by the other party, if we can change some hull technology, on the one hand, speed up the saturation of ships, that is, to meet the current large-scale demand. On the other hand, we can accumulate experience and capital when we export technology. With that, we can do a massive technical upgrade, which is a huge advantage for us, and our ships can do more with more advanced technology. Zhang Liang said.
"Hmm. You're right. Han Shu said.
"Qi State, Yan State is very big in this side, their demand for ships seems to not only stay to meet their needs, they are more hopeful to develop a career, if we can provide such technical support, to meet their needs for such a cause, I think, can effectively suppress their shipbuilding industry, as well as more development of our shipbuilding industry advantages." Han Shu said.
"I think the charter plan you proposed earlier is very good, although it seems that we have some losses in terms of cost, but it can greatly meet the demand on the ships, after chartering the ships, they will inevitably buy some ships, and at the same time can promote the rapid growth of trade, which is beneficial to us." Han Shu said.
"That's true, and so does the minister." Zhang Liang said.
Pengcheng of Chu State.
"The Koreans have a good charter plan." Fan Zeng said expressionlessly.
"But this is not conducive to the development of the shipbuilding industry of our Chu State, and the navigation industry of our Chu State needs a large number of ships, so should all the ships come from South Korea?" Fan Zeng asked rhetorically.
"Therefore, we should reject South Korea's charter plan to a certain extent. Rather than a blanket acceptance. Fan Zeng said.
"It's just that if we do this, our current demand for ships will be very large, the Chu Navy needs a large number of ships, and the demand for civilian ships will also be very large, which will bring great inconvenience to Chu's operations against Mengla and the control of other regions, while the South Korean side can get enough ships, and the areas they occupy will exceed all our previous needs, which is not good for us." Xiang Yan said calmly to Fan Zeng.
Fan Zeng is considering the development interests of his country's shipbuilding industry, while Xiang Yan is considering the immediate interests of the current Chu State, which is extremely important to them, especially from the perspective of the current development of the Chu State, the Chu State needs a large number of ships. Without such a large number of ships, the state of Chu would not have been able to develop further at all.
