"Grandpa, this coal has a lot of effect. Not only can iron be smelted. It is also the main fuel of the Qin State. Moreover, the state of Qin has begun to refine something new from these coals. Li Zuoche said.

"Oh." Li Mu agreed.

"Grandpa, although we have not been in Qin Country for a long time, the changes that have taken place in Qin Country have exceeded our expectations." Li Zuoche said.

"These are the second reforms carried out by the Qin State." Li Zuoche said.

"Second reform?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes, in military schools, the auxiliary subject of economics began to be added to the staff course. Their summary is very interesting. And it's a different way of thinking. Li Zuoche said.

"Tell me about it." Li Mu said.

"That's how they summed up their history. They believe that the reform of the Qin Shang monarch was the first reform of the Qin state. That reform only laid the foundation for the Qin state. Moreover, it provided an effective template for the reform of the Qin state. That template is the rule of law. Li Zuoche began to tell him what he had heard.

"The main representative of the results of that reform is food and combat power. Moreover, they also compared it with the reform of my Martial Spirit King, and they believed that the reform of my Martial Spirit King was mainly focused on the military and very little in the civil aspect. Li Zuoche said these points one by one. It was also the first time for Li Mu to hear such an interesting opinion.

"But this time the Qin reform was different. And the intensity of the reform has far surpassed the former. Li Zuoche changed the topic and said.

"I've seen this." Li Mu waved his hand and said.

"No, we didn't see it. If it weren't for such an article in the Qin Military Academy, none of us would have thought of it. "Li Zuoche is young and energetic, and is open to new things.

"Oh. What don't you see? Li Mu asked.

"Capital." Li Zuoche said.

"Capital?" Li Mu really hasn't heard of this.

"Yes, this reform of the Qin State revolves around this capital." Li Zuoche said.

"Why did the Qin state stop its expansion in the Kanto region and instead attack the Xiongnu, the Hu people, and the Yueshi. The reason is capital. Li Zuoche said.

"They went crazy and then they started to turn all these people into slaves, and they used all of them to build roads and then go into the fields. We're just scratching the surface. But I didn't see the most powerful thing in the middle. That's the capital. Capital can be illustrated in monetary terms. Li Zuoche said.

"That's what the paper I saw said so."

"The state of Qin issued paper treasury bonds, through this means. Get all the currency of the Qin State in your hands. Then, the Qin State took advantage of the war to expand externally. And the currency received is sent out through government bonds. In this way, all the currency will be received in your hands. Treasury bonds have replaced money. Not only that, but the Qin State changed another mode of warfare, and they transferred all weapons and material transportation. And all they paid was a cheap national debt, a piece of paper. Wait until the end of the war. In order to control the newly occupied land, they sold it to private individuals in the name of cashing in on the national debt. And the land is not sold in small pieces. Instead, it is sold for hundreds of acres and hundreds of acres. More than 1,000 acres of land were sold. Li Zuoche only told Li Mu a small part of his understanding of the reform of the Qin State.

Li Mu did not speak.

"Not only externally, but internally. They allowed all the land to be annexed. A dozen acres of land began to merge into hundreds of acres of land at once. In this way, a large number of people came into the factory to work. That's why they produce so many weapons, supplies. And those lands that were incorporated began to use slaves. They have powerful weapons as support. These slaves can be firmly controlled. These slaves could be put to death if they did not comply. Moreover, after the land is contiguous. It's very simple to manage. And that's not all. The most important thing was the banking sector of the Qin State. They issue banknotes, absorb large amounts of capital, and then release them in a centralized manner. Such. Qin had capital in all industries. Although Li Zuoche said it was not very comprehensive. But Li Mu has that kind of military spatial imagination. And Li Zuoche said this. began to make Li Mu associate everything he saw and heard.

Li Mu nodded silently.

"It's not just capital. Qin's education system was also terrible. Their education is free. Moreover, the Qin State attaches great importance to this. This ・・・・・・・ "Li Zuoche obviously intends to compare with Zhao Guo.

Li Mu and his party have been delayed in the Qin State for nearly a month. But this month is like seeing flowers in a fog for Li Mu. Can't see clearly. And the same is true for Li Zuoche. But he has that youthful energy. He dared to accept what he had not seen.

Especially the military academy of the Qin State. Although the military regulations of the military school are very strict. But the academics there are very relaxed. There, for the first time, Li Mu received books representing capitalism. These books are mainly The Wealth of Nations and books on Enlightenment thought. These books weren't supposed to be here. But because there are some military-economic aspects involved in these books. In particular, the goal of Qin's foreign war changed. As a result, many instructors have little to use with typical teaching materials. It happened that Han Fei returned these manuscripts to Shangwen when he was leaving. Shang Wen was directly thrown to the military academy.

The military academy should build a library modeled after Qinguo University. Such books exist in military schools as teaching materials and as extracurricular supplementary books. The printing industry in the Qin State could print not only newspapers, but also magazines and books. But professional books have not yet appeared. The main reason is that there is no Qin State currently committed to the technical field for management. In particular, the theoretical understanding of the discipline is not very deep. Such books still do not appear.

But for this reason, such books have become a must-read for every cadet, because they really lack too many reading materials. It was these readings that began to change the way of thinking of these young officers. And not just young officers. Some mid-level staff officers shared the same view.

Therefore, there are some bold people who write such articles, and Li Zuoche is just an idle person who sees such books and articles. The changes in the Qin State deeply stimulated these people from the backward capitals. They took the initiative to abandon the original way of thinking and began to accept new thinking. And groping for ideas if it changes the fate of the country.

Li Zuoche is such a representative. He was the same as the one who came after. There is also an excellent explanation of strategy. Li Mu, on the other hand, fell into deeper thinking. Reform.
