2131: A force to be reckoned with
"Qin Guo also does not want to see the decline of Zhao Guo's stock market, after all, Qin Guo Investment Bank also has a certain number of stocks in its hands. At the same time, the Federal Bank Reserve Board of our Qin State also has a large number www.biquge.info of stocks. Therefore, we do not want Zhao's stock market to fall. Shang Wen said to Li Mu.
"Hmm. Naturally, we don't want that either. Li Mu said worriedly.
"But the stock market did fall. This is a fact, and I just hope that the prime minister can take some measures to save Zhao's stock market. After all, if the stock market blindly falls, it will cause a lot of panic, which we do not want to see. Li Mu said to Shang Wen.
"I understand that." Shang Wen nodded.
"We will also make specific measures." Shang Wen said. But Li Mu was eager to know what kind of methods Shang Wen used to increase confidence in the stock market. If it continues to fall. Then you will be under considerable pressure.
"What are the specific measures?" Li Mu asked Shang Wen.
"Hmm. I think that we in the Qin State can further reduce the interest. In this way, there will be enough money in the market, and with enough money, there will be enough money in the stock market. In this way, the problem of funding is fundamentally solved. Shang Wen said.
"In addition, I also hope that the Zhao government will issue a statement that expresses the confidence of the Zhao government in the stock market. Investors are encouraged to invest. Of course. More concrete investment from the Zhao government is also needed. For example, I would suggest that the Zhao government reduce the rate of stamp duty. Give those stockbroking companies greater preferential policies to encourage them to develop. Shang Wen said.
"What's the point of that?" Li Mu asked Shang Wen.
"If you do that, there will be more buyers in the stock market. And not the seller. In fact, it is also a relationship between supply and demand. Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. Increasing supply? Li Mu asked Shang Wen.
"Yes, that's it, and only by doing so can we gain the confidence of the people in the market. With such confidence, we can develop further. Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. Very good. I will also make such a statement, as well as specific measures. It's just that I don't know when the Qin government will be able to reduce interest rates. I know. The impact of lowering interest rates will be far greater than we expect. Li Mu said.
"It will take some time, but I can guarantee it. After Zhao took these measures, the Qin State took action. Shang Wen verbally assured Li Mu.
"Hmm." Li Mu nodded. Li Mu believed what Shang Wen said.
"Okay. I believe in the Prime Minister. But I still hope that the prime minister can do this as soon as possible, after all, this will be very beneficial to our Zhao country's stock market. The states of Zhao and Qin had common interests. Li Mu finally emphasized.
"That's for sure. The relationship between Zhao and Qin will not make Qin give up Zhao. Shang Wen said sincerely. Li Mu quickly returned to his residence and drafted a series of documents to stabilize Zhao's stock market.
And Shang Wen and Meng Yi have decided that the interest rate of the Qin State Bank will be lowered again. The reduction was 0.5 per cent.
Inside the Xianyang Palace.
"The main operation against the Western Regions Restoration Army is basically over. Although the remnants of the force have entered the desert area, they no longer pose much threat to us, as for the horse bandits in the Western Regions. Your report says. They fled for a large part. The other part was killed by us. King Qin said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Jian replied.
"In this case, the main battle can be over." King Qin put Wang Qian's report aside.
"The widows are not very interested in this war, but they are interested in the few nomadic troops in this battle. In particular, the troops of the Huns, I heard that they performed very well, and they discovered the actions of the Western Regions Restoration Army alone. A company withstood the attack of several thousand people of the Western Regions Restoration Army, is this the case? King Qin asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. In this regard, General Wang has awarded them medals. Wang Jian continued.
"Hmm. As it should be. After all, they brought victory to the widowed Qin State, although the victory was not very large, but it was a victory after all. King Qin said.
"This shows that these minority soldiers can still be used. As long as they can master them, they can also play a big role. The people of the Qin State need to recuperate. A large number of Qin people entered the factory. The Qin State lacked enough troops to expand and defend. In the light of the outnumbered, the use of some of these minority soldiers could be expanded. As long as they are used on the offensive, the Qin State can completely solve the problem. King Qin said to Wang Qian. The King of Qin knew that Wang Jian had always opposed the use of ethnic minority soldiers. But this time it did prove that minority soldiers can be very effective. And they are excellent cavalrymen. And in the Western Regions, there was a vast combat space for cavalry.
"Yes. The king. Wang Jian nodded. At this time, he had to agree to the use of these minority soldiers. Despite all the serious consequences of these soldiers, the King of Qin no longer considered them by then. Wang Jian objected and did not use it. In fact, before this meeting, Wang Jian already had a premonition that the Qin State might use these minority soldiers on a large scale in the coming period, and as for the direction of use, it may be multifaceted, because the Qin army is extremely nervous. And most of them are infantry. In places where the railway system has not yet extended further into the Western Regions. It was even more difficult for the Qin army to solve.
"Your Majesty. In the minister's opinion, there is one more thing to pay attention to. "Wei Yu played to King Qin at this time.
"Is it a railroad thing?" King Qin asked with a smile.
"Back to the king, this is exactly what happened. Facts have proved that as long as our Qin State has a large number of railways, and relies on these railways as a reliance. Small countries in the Western Regions and other countries cannot make waves. Wei Yu said.
"At the same time, our Qin State can also use these railways to further extend the interests of our Qin State in the Western Regions. Our Qin army needs these railways to transport soldiers, supplies, etc. And the merchant needs to deliver the goods. At the same time, various commodities imported from the countries of the Western Regions also need railways, so to speak, whether it is military or commercial, a large number of railways are needed to extend. Wei Yu said.
"But at present, Qin needs a lot of railways, but where there are places, it is difficult to complete the main railway. Therefore, Chen's view is whether Qin can gain the initiative in the next strategy. It's about the construction of the railway. Wei Yi put forward his own opinion.
"Hmm." King Qin nodded.
"The prime minister also has this idea, most of Qin's recent investments are also focused on railway construction, but it is not easy to build and expand railways." King Qin said.
"Your Majesty, the minister suggests. The military is also involved. That's the case. First, it can increase the speed of railway construction. In addition, the army can also be given a certain auxiliary subsidy. "Wei Yi suggested it at this time.
"Yes." King Qin said. For the military to participate in commercial activities. Wang Jian was not too opposed, because it was easy for soldiers to lose their lives when they went out to fight, and in the end they had nothing to gain, which was a very distressing thing. And after participating in business activities, you can get such subsidies, although such subsidies do not seem to be much, but at least there is a way to live. However, he was concerned that the military would become too involved in commercial activities and that the original functions of the military would be lost. This is what Wang Jian does not want to see. The addition of one function will reduce the role of the original function.
"Your Majesty, is it inappropriate for the army to be too involved in commercial activities?" Wang Jian thought of this, stood up and said.
"Hmm. The widow understands that General Wang is worried that he will be too involved in commercial activities and weaken the combat effectiveness of our Qin army. King Qin said indifferently.
"These worries are unwarranted. If there are no interests to pursue, the army is also ineffective. Moreover, for the Western Regions, commercial and military struggles coexisted. When the military is involved, they can first use commercial activities to scout the road. In the event of a contradiction, the army can take advantage of the current conditions to conduct operations, and in the future it will want to achieve the initiative in operations. It seems that it is difficult to do this without indulging the active participation of the army. King Qin waved his hand. Comfort Wang Jian not to worry too much about this matter.
Wei Mi was very happy to hear such comfort, and with such an expression, Wei Mi knew very well that the King of Qin had approved the Qin army's active participation in business activities, and in this way, the army's enthusiasm would be driven.
Wei Yi was very worried. If the Qin State can actively develop these in the future, it will have one less force in the Western Regions. Despite relying on the power of business. The construction of the railway can also be completed, but time, no one knows what kind of emergencies the Qin State will encounter in the Western Regions in the future, and such a situation is too difficult for the Qin State to control. Therefore, Qin Jun also needs to be involved. In this way, the development of the railway can be quickly passed, and on the one hand, the Qin army has a great profit. On the other hand, the army is a force to be reckoned with, and the participation of this force may speed up the construction of railways as much as possible.
"Your Majesty, the construction of the railroad also requires a lot of steel. Chen believes that it is not enough to only transport from Guanzhong and the north, and a number of iron and steel enterprises should be discovered and built from the local area to meet the related needs of steel and cement in Qin. At this time, Wei Yu made further suggestions.
"Hmm. These things will do. The widows have seen the Western Regions do this. We don't have to worry about such a thing at all. King Qin heard such a voice. On the contrary, it was very easy to say.
