2583 Some economic problems

"Sir, are we going to wait for reinforcements before attacking?" A second lieutenant officer said worriedly.

"We don't have enough ships, and we don't have enough supplies, so it's true that the soldiers have just arrived here and are attacking rashly. If we fail, the situation will be very bad for us. The second lieutenant officer said to Jing Men.

"Regardless of this, those Menglas are defenseless, we can attack, if necessary, we can retreat after the attack, and that's it, prepare immediately and launch an attack." Jing Men said to the second lieutenant officer.

"This. It's sir. Seeing Jingmen's serious face. The second lieutenant could only obey, and after Jing Men came back from reconnaissance, he decided to immediately adopt a bold offensive strategy, and his plan was that if a stable landing ground could be established, it would be the best, because a large number of reinforcements would arrive later, and only with a suitable landing field would reinforcements arrive continuously.

Soon, this Chu army, which had only more than two hundred people, launched their landing operation. The landing was very successful, because there were no Menglas on the shore at all.

"Go over there and take a look, be on guard." There was some tension after the Jingmen landing, but the shore was too quiet. The Mon-Rahs simply appeared.

"Damn it. Where did these Benglas go? Jingmen said nervously after following the first batch of soldiers to land. After all, this was the first time that the Marines of the Chu State had fought in battle.

The soldiers in the first row lay on the ground with their muskets in their hands and aimed around, but they had no target at all.

"Go. Take a prisoner and come back. Jing Men said to a sergeant next to him at this time.

"Yes. Sir. The sergeant then left with two men.

"Strengthen the defense, strengthen the defense." Jingmen shouted loudly. He decided to build their landing ground here, because of the lack of artillery, they could not launch a large-scale attack.

"Damn it. It's too hot here. "Because it's winter. The climate here seems to be very hot. This made the soldiers of Chu a little uncomfortable.

"Sir. The second batch has already begun to land. A private reported.

"Just let them come up." Jingmen waved his hand and said. So saying that he found a stone and sat down, he wanted to rest and relieve the tension, here he did not know anything, the situation was unusually dull for him.

"Sir, sir, we've only caught such a person." As he spoke, the sergeant who had gone out first grabbed a thin man and said.

"Ask him, where have the Monglas gone?" Jingmen asked.

But the people around looked at Jingmen.

"What's wrong?" Jing Men asked loudly.

"Sir, none of us speak the local language, and the interpreters are among the last troops to land, and we will only know the situation until we wait." A corporal explained.

"Damn it." Jingmen scolded. But there was nothing they could do, they could only wait for some of the people of Chu who knew the local language to land to know the situation.

With the landing of the last troops, Jingmen also learned what the locals were thinking. From the emaciated captive, it was learned that the Men army had retreated. They had no intention of sending troops to hold out, and not only that, but the local people of Mengla did not seem to want to come here, and many were reluctant to fight. This made Jingmen feel very aggrieved, because all this they did seemed very funny.

State of Qin. Xianyang.

"Taxation is to transfer industries, factories, and trading companies to provide rich tax revenue for the Qin State, and the national tax of the Qin State is a low tax, which seems to be contrary to these." Shang Wen was in the conference room, publicizing the entrepreneurs who came to Guanzhong, explaining what the Prime Minister's Mansion would levied.

"However, at present, the products produced by the factory are unsalable, or in the midst of idle sales, and there is no problem with our products, just because of the sluggish demand." Shang Wen said.

"With the end of winter, the arrival of spring will allow Qin enterprises to launch a larger-scale enterprise sales model, and none of these problems seem to be a problem." Shang Wen said.

"But we are faced with a different problem, the cost, which is how much benefit we have. The scale of the factory is increasing, and the raw materials required are very large. It's amazing, we can produce a lot of products in a day, and admittedly, this is a technological advancement, but there is another point that we also need to pay attention to. That is, our situation is not optimistic. Shang Wen said.

"Guanzhong is densely populated, but the cost of labor is also rising, and there are factories in all countries, and it is unlikely that cheap labor will be concentrated in the Guanzhong area. In this way, our labor costs have risen, and at the same time, although we have railway transportation, however, the minerals in the Guanzhong area of the Qin State are prohibited from mining, plus the transportation costs, the minerals in the farther places are cheaper, but with the transportation costs, this is very not cost-effective, which is definitely not good news for us, we hope to get more opportunities, and such opportunities exist in more areas. You know, development is uneven. Shang Wen said.

"I don't understand the meaning of what the prime minister said, can you tell us a clear message more clearly?" An entrepreneur stood up and asked, Shangwen. He didn't seem to understand what Shang Wen meant.

"Well, I can explain, first, our labor costs are rising very fast, mainly because we have a high level of education, and the kind of work with a lower technical level is no longer suitable for the situation in Qin Guoguan." Shang Wen said.

"Second, the price of raw materials, in further afield, the price of raw materials is very cheap, for example, in terms of copper prices, the price of copper in Guanzhong may exceed three gold per stone. However, if it is in the Western Regions, this price will be very cheap, less than one and a half gold, and at the same time, the price of various raw materials is even cheaper, such as. Coal, manganese ore, zinc ore and many more. These prices are much lower than in the Guanzhong area. The last point is that the development of the Qin state was uneven. The development of the Guanzhong region is very fast, and the Western Regions, the northern region is very slow, some areas, are still in a relatively backward state, this development is not conducive to the Qin State, in this case, why don't we move the enterprise out, move to those areas with geographical advantages, market advantages, and transportation advantages, the problem of labor can be quickly solved these problems. Shang Wen said.

"What the prime minister said is very reasonable." Entrepreneurs said.

"Of course. This also requires the help of banks, investment companies, and all kinds of finance, but in terms of taxation, the tax levied by the Qin State is specifically for this kind of enterprises that have no advantage, if they can complete the migration, I think, in the local state government, they still have a great tax advantage, I think, this is the most suitable way to relocate. Shang Wen said.

Many entrepreneurs nodded in agreement. But Meng Yi frowned, because if a large number of enterprises moved, Qin State could certainly complete local development, but how to solve the tax and infrastructure construction funds. Shangwen's tax plan seems to solve part of the problem, but in fact it is still a tax reduction plan. The Qin state still did not have a stable group that could provide sufficient fiscal revenue for the Qin state. This made Meng Yi very anxious about Shang Wen's thoughts.

Although Shang Wen's explanation is very easy to understand, the financial problem is still unsolved, and the Qin State cannot get sufficient funds by mortgage bonds, so what other ways can get sufficient funds? Meng Yi did not know, because Shang Wen was still an incentive tax scheme in terms of the current tax scheme, but it was punitive.

Chu. Pengcheng.

"There are still a lot of things to be done in the construction of Haicheng, at least we need to build a section of railway from Pengcheng to the seaside port, and then transport materials through this railway to the seaside port, and then arrive in Haicheng to further develop trade." Chen Ping hurried back to report to Fan Zeng. According to Haicheng's report, Fan Zeng thought it was feasible and agreed to build it.

However, when Chen Ping returned, he believed that Chu had the conditions and ability to further develop port cities, that is, along the Yellow Sea, Chu could establish a series of port cities, or further establish large cities along the Yangtze River. The existence of these cities can effectively absorb the resources within the Chu State, and then further distribute the resources through trade.

"Your idea is good, but the financial problem is very difficult, the government can't come up with so much money, and the most difficult thing is that the money in the hands of the nobles is also flowing. We simply can't do it. Fan Zeng said with difficulty.

"Moreover, the solution to the stock market that you said, the risk still exists, and the current government is on the way to war, and we need trade, or greater returns, to solve the problem at hand." Fan Zeng said.

"Prime Minister, we have no problem with this, we can wait patiently, five years will not work, it can be ten years, ten years will not work, it can be fifteen years, we can solve the problem in short, but the biggest problem now is that we need to be mobile, that is, we need to carry out trade, obtain tax revenue, only in this way, can we further solve the current fiscal and tax dilemma." Chen Ping said.

"The nobility has dispersed. What kind of forces are not mobilized? Fan Zeng asked.

"Businessmen, business taxes. If we encourage trade, we can get more tax revenue. Chen Ping said.

"There are so many merchants in the vicinity of Haicheng, they have been doing overseas business, tea, silk, and sugar trade, we have a large area of land, if we dump it in Bangladesh, all the problems can be solved." Chen Ping said.
