444 fiscal deficit

The newspaper seemed a little excited about this report. Because, in Shangwen's topic, there is such a word as Zhao Zhao's destiny. This term immediately sparked a heated discussion.

"Our Chinese nation has a history of more than 2,000 years from ancient times to the present, and our nation is also beginning to form from obscurity. Now there are only a few large and small countries in the whole of China. The trend towards reunification is already clearer. Our nation seems to have many calamities and calamities. We have been through a lot of disasters. ”

"Zhou Tianzi was once in trouble, and the ancestors of our Qin people sent troops to rescue him. The Son of Heaven was grateful to us Qin people, so he gave us this rich place in Guanzhong. We have assumed the responsibility of guarding the western gate of this nation, and several generations of Qin martyrs have fought hard. Expelled minority tribes from the West. We have kept this responsibility and obligation for us and for this nation. ”

"It's as if we had this manifest destiny from that moment on. The prime minister's speech was very right. Our Qin State is out of the world. In order to manifest the destiny of heaven in this way"

"It is the call of this nation, the cry of this nation, that allows us to undertake such a clear destiny." It was the first magazine of the Qin State. A preface to the Manifest Destiny.

This magazine was ordered by King Qin himself. Distributed through Yingyu's newspaper. The title of the four big characters of "Zhaozhao Mandate of Heaven" is also the title of King Qin's own handwriting. King Qin read all the newspaper reports on Shang Wen's speech. King Qin was so excited that he shed tears. That moment. The King of Qin was struck by the national responsibility.

Everything that Qin Guo had done before seemed to be accomplishing something in the dark. But now, the people of Qin themselves understand. This is the manifest destiny of heaven. It is the responsibility of the nation. Such a great responsibility makes the people of Qin proud. Feel heavy.

Within a day, the words Zhao Zhao Mandate of Heaven flashed repeatedly in King Qin's mind. He was moved. He must shoulder the responsibility of the Chinese nation. So, he personally went to Yingyu and asked for a newspaper to be published. The name is "Zhao Zhao Mandate", and this newspaper should be thick and big. The content is to record everything that the Qin State has done for this nation. He wants to inspire the people of the country and inspire the whole nation.

Yingyu is also a descendant of the Ying family. The tradition of the nobility made her feel that she should also take on this responsibility. So, she came up with the idea of publishing a small book and pamphlet in the near future. And so it all. The first magazine, "Manifest Destiny", was published.

For the first printing, only 1,000 copies of the Manifest Destiny were printed. But it was quickly sold out. A few in a magazine is not a lot of money. The price is at seventy-five cents. But there are a lot of people who buy it. So the printing machine kept printing day and night.

Because the articles in it made the Qin people's blood boil. The article uses a large number of precious documents to tell everything that the Qin people have paid. From that moment on. Qin Cai began to understand himself. And that's not all. Many people from the Six Nations also bought the magazine spontaneously. For the sake of this magazine, they can offer a price of two gold. But no one wants to give it away. I'm only willing to let you borrow it. Reluctance to sell.

Fan Zeng didn't have the magazine, but he saw something. It's the general trend. This young prime minister of the Qin State is not simple. In less than a year, the state of Qin has undergone such changes.

Think about his policies. Always avoid the use of force as a direct form of submission. Contrarily. A kind of tolerance and openness measures unprecedented by the people of the Qin State were adopted to do so. What you get will be the heart of the world. This kind of mind. Fan Zeng himself felt inferior to Shang Wen.

There is a lot of buzz like this. A lot. It is precisely such a hot discussion. In the Six Kingdoms in the Qin State, a new sense of belonging began to emerge. The Qin State is the final destination of this nation. Only the Qin people have the ability to support this calamity-ridden nation.

The national consciousness began to form in the heated discussion in Xianyang, Qin State. As everyone knows, newspapers are also tightly linking all ethnic compatriots. For example, text. The Qin State used a small seal. And the large number of newspapers circulated so that Xiao Seal began to spread wildly. Some civilians in the Six Kingdoms always take Qin's newspapers to teach their children to write in their spare time. The written word is the small seal. In order to understand the newspapers of the Qin State, some scholars have unconsciously accepted the small seal of the Qin State. Spontaneous acceptance comes faster than coercion. Better results.

It is when this wave of discussion of "manifesting the Mandate of Heaven" has been set off one after another. Shang Wen was worried about his financial funds.

Military spending is still significant. The reason is that the military agreed to cut military spending, but also to large-scale disarmament. However, there are discharge expenses paid to military personnel, as well as settling-in expenses. That's a big expense. The size of its expenditures will exceed one million gold. In addition, the royal family's expenses, as well as a large number of construction projects, as well as the government's usual expenses. Funding is running out.

The tax collection has entered the review stage. Expropriation is ongoing. Taxes are like drops. Little by little, it came in. However, Shangwen's expenditure flowed out like a river.

So. Shang Wen's capital chain will soon be broken. At the same time, the loan of Yingyu Bank is also repaid. Shang Wen borrowed it for only two months. It's been a month now. This month's repayment deadline is almost up. Shang Wen suddenly entered a state of fiscal deficit.

The money for the placement of the soldiers was spent all at once. If the payment can be made in installments, it is estimated that Shangwen will still be able to turn around. But now it's not possible. What's even more terrifying is that Shang Wen even spent a sum of 400,000 gold. It was mainly used to build new public schools. This funding will make basic education accessible on a large scale. Such public schools will be established in all counties and prefectures of Qin. Of course, this naturally attracts a large amount of private capital to enter.

The development of the commodity economy has entered an era with capital as the core. The issuance of paper money, as well as a large amount of government spending, began to fully excavate all the corners of the Qin state. Banknotes circulate very quickly. Because the development speed is also very fast. Construction is happening everywhere, development is happening everywhere, and the shadow of capital is everywhere.

And Shang Wen is at this critical turning moment. Governments often have to spend a lot of money to help transform societies. The expenses are naturally significant. This question. Historically, the government has issued a large number of bonds to obtain funds through the rapid expansion of bonds. Eventually, the bonds depreciated and the banknotes were issued. The intermediary link allows the government to obtain a large amount of money for operation. But Shangwen didn't do that. So, very quickly, his government went into a fiscal deficit. The reason why Shang Wen did not do this was because he obtained funds through the inflation and depreciation of bonds. Something is not right. It damages the image of the Qin government. Shangwen rejected such an idea.
