530 new employers

Shang Wen wanted to continue at this time. But Wei Yu stopped Shang Wen in private.

Li Mu was thinking about how to receive assistance from the Qin State. Qin's assistance was not that simple. Here's how he sees it.

"What do you think, sir?" Shangwen asked. Take a break from the meeting. Shang Wen then asked why Wei Yu stopped him just now.

"Then Li Mu doesn't know what to take into account? But mention the forces of the state of Zhao. This is very inappropriate. Wei Yu expressed his opinion. Shang Wen nodded in agreement. His plan was aimed at the forces of Zhao State. So clearly to interfere with other people's forces. This is a big taboo for Zhao Guo. Thinking of this, Shang Wen decided to revise some of his plans. It is no longer dominated by the military power of the other side. Instead, they chose a different path. Disarmament.

The standing army of the Qin State only maintained a size of about 250,000. The rest of the personnel were all dismissed. Shang Wen took the initiative to show Li Mu the plan for the disarmament of the Qin army. Li Mu was puzzled.

Shang Wen then proposed another draft. That is, Zhao Guo is also disarmed. Moreover, the number of people remains around 20 to 300 thousand. In this way, both sides no longer have much of a threat in the army.

This draft is only beginning with disarmament. The dismissed military personnel will have Zhao himself set up relevant organizational structures and personnel to participate in Qin's military operations on the border. The Zhao side provided people, and the Qin side provided weapons, equipment and logistical supplies. The business operation between the two parties is handled by a private person.

Although Li Mu hesitated, he unexpectedly agreed. This plan respects Zhao's own ideas. Moreover, personnel are controlled by their own people. The level of communication is in personal relationships. And not the state, the government, such a level.

And that's not all. The next step is about Qin's plan to aid Zhao, first of all, Li Mu proposed Qin's payment of compensation for the Changping War massacre as soon as possible. Shang Wen refused.

Such a large amount of money is not in the government expenditure budget. And it can't be prescribed. Shang Wen wants to stretch this reparation project. Stretch as much as possible. And the targets of the aid are all Zhao Guomin's goals. For example, education, medical care, etc. Shangwen chooses to make a one-time payment. The indemnity was requested by the Qin State on its own initiative. It was not Zhao Guo who took the initiative to ask for it. The Qin State had a lot of initiative.

After rejecting a large number of reparation items. Shang Wen refocused his goal on how to restore Zhao's economy. The situation in Zhao was on the verge of collapse. This is Shang Wen's recognition from the newspaper.

"First of all, our two countries should exchange ambassadors to repair the damaged relations between the two countries. The Qin State set up temporary consulates throughout the Zhao state. The Qin State will issue passes there to those of you who have not committed adultery, and then we encourage the factory owners from Xianyang and other places to come to you to recruit people to work in the factories of the Qin State. They can come back when the farm is busy. Shang Wen said.

"You pay us." Li Mu said.

"Naturally, we have the Labor Protection Law, such a legal provision, as long as you are willing to sign. Then it has the force of law. Shang Wen said.

Li Mu nodded.

"I know that you are very worried, you Zhao people are unwilling to go back after coming to the Qin State. As long as he does not take the initiative to apply for registration and registration in the Qin State to handle the relevant documents, he will not be able to become a native of the Qin State. Shang Wen explained. Li Mu naturally understood.

Next, it completely became, Shang Wen's Q&A, and Li Mu's signing of the document.

Due to the large amount of manpower involved, it entered the factories in the Qin State to work. Moreover, the factory projects developed by the Qin State were mainly light industry, and heavy industry was not fully developed. And it is a key restricted unit.

The light industry is mainly leather processing, textile mills, etc. These factories mainly employ a large number of female workers. As for the men. All of them were arranged in the armed units of the Qin State.

The armed men of the Qin State were well armed. They often have a thousand men who can deal with a direct attack of tens of thousands of people on the other side. Behind the well-equipped, it reflects the nobility of the Qin people. It is becoming increasingly difficult for armed companies to recruit the right people. Because, after many people get rich, they either go home and buy hundreds of acres of land, or they go to work on their own. Anyway, there is a shortage of people in many places in the Qin State. This kind of very risky thing, the Qin people don't want to do it more and more. Only veterans who have just retired from the military would be willing to do this.

It was precisely for this reason that the Qin State needed to hire a large number of new armed men. Obviously, Zhao became their preferred target. The Zhao people fought bravely, and they were not weaker than the Qin people at all. And what they lack is weapons, sophisticated weapons and a constant supply of supplies. This becomes their weakness. Best of all, they're cheap.

While they can also use some slaves as some combat supplements, they are still not trustworthy. This is a huge difference in ethnicity. And these Zhao people are compared to these slaves. There is a huge national commonality between the two. This commonality is the bond that maintains the existence of a sense of trust in battle. Trust is very important.

These Zhao people are used to it. Unlike the Qin people, although the Qin people maintained a constant combat posture, they were extremely differentiated. Some began to become professional soldiers, while others became more and more distant from the war. This is what industrialization brings. It is also a necessary requirement for economic development. Even the most powerful armies in the world have to go through this link. This is not an option.

As early as when some Qin people continued to withdraw from the armed ranks, the Qin people began to hire some Zhao people from the Zhao State. They are very bitter. Often underfed, some people are also attached to some large landowners. They were overwhelmed and fled to Qin. In their livelihood, they joined the armed forces of the Qin State. Because it's easy to get rich in this business. Just get lucky. In this way, the Qin people were completing their primitive accumulation of capital. Those who quit would buy farms, or work, either to fund factories or to open shops. Taxes in the country are low. There is very little regulation on the commercial side. This was the biggest driving force for Qin's economic development.

As time passed, the Qin people continued to withdraw, and the replenishment of personnel became less and less, which put the armed personnel in a difficult situation. They are well armed and equipped. But there are few personnel. Tigers are hard to beat wolves. For safety reasons. They were willing to recruit some of the Six Nations. Among them, the main ones are Zhao Guoren. This is exactly what is reflected. Only then did Shang Wen make it to reach a reconciliation with Zhao Guo. Then hire a large number of Zhao people to participate in the Qin people's own border battles. The Qin people were willing to pay them, while the Zhao people solved the employment and got paid and got what they wanted. The two sides are very good-drawn.
