It was on the third day of the tax collection meeting. The newspaper carried a shocking piece of news. Zhao Jun held a large-scale military exercise. King Zhao claimed that more than 400,000 troops would participate in the exercises.

King Zhao obviously didn't know what the exercise meant. Because in his public statements, he did not use diplomatic rhetoric. The argument is not directed at any country. And the state of Qin did not use it at first.

As soon as the news spread. Immediately caused a sensation throughout Xianyang. The people of Qin believed that this was a provocation by Zhao State. They want to be beaten. Now that the Qin State has sharp weapons, no one is afraid. Moreover, the Qin State had an extremely large cavalry. Huge artillery. And the airships in the sky. The Qin State has not been afraid of anyone yet.

People openly discuss this topic.

"I think Zhao Guoren is not cleaning up. Our Qin State is so powerful, and we dare to hold exercises. It's like looking for death. ”

"Yes, I see. We should deal with the Zhao people like we did with those few nomadic tribes. When a person hears this, he immediately speaks his opinion.

"Yes, I think so."

"It should."

Obviously, the mentality of the people is very excited. The Qin people are very martial, and as long as someone dares to challenge the limits of the Qin people. They are bound to be-for-tat. Since you dare to practice. Qin was also not a vegetarian. People began to take newspapers and spontaneously go to Shangwen's office. Shang Wen was asked to hold a large-scale military exercise-for-tat.

Shang Wen is not there. He was called to Xianyang Palace early in the morning. Also called were Wang Qian, Wei Yi, Yang Duanhe, Wang Ben and other major generals. This was a military meeting presided over by the King of Qin himself. The call of the meeting was to hold large-scale military exercises as well. Moreover, there are more branches of the military that participate. The Celestial Army participated in all of them, except for the accident in the western battlefield. Including cadets in military academies. The time is also set for late May. The two armies are-for-tat and sabre-rattling.

The populace is clearly much more intense than at the top. The spokesman did not know what to do, and was slow to express his position in accordance with the attitude of the government. Reporter, a large number of people gathered at Shangwen's office. People chanted slogans. Even the slogan of war was shouted.

And Shang Wen didn't have the heart to participate in the military meeting at all. He was snapping his fingers, counting how much money he still had. But in any case, I can't figure out where I don't know where there is such a large amount of money.

400,000 troops. According to Wang Qian's original plan, the regular army will be 120,000 at most, and all the rest will be temporarily transferred militia reservists. They will form huge infantry teams to participate in the war. If needed, the government will equip them with artillery with special supplies. These are all temporary, and those who are temporary must be paid for the military. It's a sum of money.

At the same time a huge logistical supply. It's another sum of money. Don't forget the rest. The two sums add up. Shangwen's government went bankrupt. There is no money. Empty and out of money. Shang Wen didn't spend a penny.

King Qin was asking about related matters, and Shang Wen was scolding King Zhao's father and mother in his heart. Originally, the drill didn't cost much. But let Zhao Guo mix it up like this, and it was all messed up. Shang Wen's government spending was reduced all of a sudden. Shangwen also plans to start after the tax is completed. Because, Shang Wen did not specify the date of the start of the exercise at that time. It's all messed up. Shang Wen's mind was all about how to raise a large sum of money.

I don't know how the meeting ended. Anyway, Shang Wen didn't know anything, what he knew was to find a way to raise money. This money and to fight. If the two sides go off and a war breaks out, oh my God. Who knows how far the war will go.

The people are not afraid of war, but the whole Qin State likes to fight. The bigger the hit, the better, why. As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold. Many people made a fortune because of the war against the Tsukishi. War money became an important means for the Qin people to get rich.

Affected by the message. As soon as the Xianyang stock market opened, it collectively rose sharply. Especially military stocks. In one morning, the time soared by 30 percent. It's crazy. Even those old Qin people who have always thought that stock speculation is an improper profession are involved.

The topic of war has once again become a hot topic. Many people began to report spontaneously to the Yamen of the Qin State. Asked to enlist in the army. The appearance of Qin State preparing for war made the people of Zhao who were doing business in Qin State feel very afraid. The people of the Qin State loved war.

Compared with the people, Shang Wen is sad. He needed a lot of money. That figure could be two million gold. And it is possible that once the war starts, this amount will increase dramatically. Shangwen has no money.

"Stop. Go to the exchange. Shang Wen decided to go to Yingyu and borrow money. become the only way.

"Oh, rare guest. You know to come to me, too. Yingyu saw Shang Wen is face of sarcasm. The reason why Yingyu wanted to take over the power to issue banknotes last time. Because, he discovered. His bank was often unable to complete a large amount of business due to a shortage of paper money. For example, in the three newly established states, there is a very high demand for money. People there need to buy cattle and sheep, buy barbed wire. Buy guns, buy all kinds of daily necessities. In short, what they need most is money. They take out a loan on the land they just bought. A lot of people are taking out loans. But the bank has so much banknotes. To this end, the measures taken by banks can be described as varied. In Mongolia, some bank managers refused to cash in on bonds, and not only that, but also re-lented large amounts of bonds and re-entered the market. And in Dongmeng Prefecture, Simon Prefecture, the bank directly issued a small check, and the money order was used as a coin, anyway, those people also thought that this thing was no different from paper money, and it actually circulated. Shang Wen didn't know about these situations at all. Yingyu thought that this was a disaster, so she was very eager to take over the right to issue banknotes.

Shang Wen was afraid of the private control of the entire Qin State like the Federal Reserve, and did not agree. Moreover, the banks controlled the issuance of banknotes. Who can control that. So, Shang Wen on this issue. Or stick to your own opinion.

"I'm here to borrow money. Million. Shang Wen said directly.

"Hmph, there isn't that much money, one or two thousand." Yingyu sent Shangwen like a beggar.

"You have." Shang Wen said.

"I didn't." Yingyu directly refused.

"Well, on the issue of the right to issue currency, we can negotiate." Shang Wen said.

"Talk. What do you talk about. Now Zhao State provokes Qin State. You don't have any money in your government account. What else to talk about. Just let me forget it. Besides, mine is not yours. Yours is not mine. Yingyu said angrily.
