2163 Meng Tian's view
"Your Majesty, the minister is just a military general, right for this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Meng Tian said in embarrassment.
"Hmm. The widow doesn't know, so ask you what this military general thinks. King Qin said at this time.
"The prime minister's plan was to reorganize the four major steel-producing areas of the Qin State into the commercial steel of the Qin State. I wonder what kind of problems will there be if you do this? This is what the widows are also worried about. King Qin said at this time.
Meng Tian quickly read the report.
"The king and the minister believe that steel is one of the most important resources in the hands of the Qin State at present." Meng Tian said to King Qin.
"The output of steel has a lot to do with the strength of the Qin State." Meng Tian said.
"Well, you're right." King Qin said.
"The widow also thinks so, but the steel output has not been able to go up, and the prime minister is right, most of the steel production at the beginning of the Qin State was used for military purposes, and the current military demand is not very strong." King Qin said.
"Yes, your king, so did your ministers. Military needs, especially Qin's external expansion, have been very limited, and some military industrial enterprises, Qin's military spending can no longer support them. If this continues, Qin's military industrial enterprises will not be able to operate. In the report, the prime minister also explained in detail that most of our previous steel production was used for military purposes, and later, I read the report. In the face of weak military demand, the four major steel production plants of the Qin State turned to civilian projects that have kept these steel production plants running. Meng Tian said.
"Hmm." King Qin nodded.
"With the reduction in military needs. In the case of increasing civilian demand, Chen believes that the demand for steel should be redirected and placed on civilian demand, rather than military demand. At this time, Meng Tian said.
"Hmm." King Qin nodded.
"You're right." King Qin said to Meng Tian at this time.
"However, if the reorganization is carried out, it will be detrimental to the four major steel production plants in Qin, you know, these iron and steel enterprises are under the jurisdiction of the Qin government, if this continues, won't these government assets become the assets of those businessmen." King Qin said worriedly.
"In this way, the widow thinks it is very disadvantageous." King Qin said to Meng Tian worriedly.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that such worries are a bit superfluous?" Meng Tian said.
"Oh?" King Qin was a little surprised.
"From a future perspective, an increase in demand for steel is inevitable, and these increases in demand are not a point. It's quite large, and there is a lot of demand for steel in many places, construction, automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, and in the future shipbuilding, and the demand for steel will surge. Meng Tian said.
"Therefore, the minister believes that if the Qin State can expand the production of steel and meet such a demand, from the overall point of view, our Qin State can increase a lot of benefits." Meng Tian said.
"Hmm. In this way, the benefits of steel are indeed significant. But the assets of the government. King Qin said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, although the reshuffle may seem unfavorable to the government, the increase in the share of steel, on the whole, is an expansion of the government's assets. Moreover, it can guide Qin's commerce into steel production and expand Qin's steel production. Meng Tian said.
"Hmm." King Qin nodded.
"Only when Qin expands steel production can it further control the steel resources of other countries." Meng Tian said.
"Steel is not only used for military purposes, but also for civilian use." Meng Tian said.
"Hmm." King Qin nodded.
"You're right." King Qin nodded.
"It seems that the Prime Minister's thoughts are farther than we have to see." King Qin said to Meng Tian.
"The king, the minister believes that the steel project has a lot to do with the Dawan Kingdom and the Western Regions project." Meng Tian analyzed at this time.
"Oh. Let's talk about it. King Qin said to Meng Tian.
"The king and the minister believe that there must be abundant resources in the territory of Dawan, and the development of these resources requires a large amount of railway transportation. At the same time, the development of those resources is very important to us, because the increase in steel production makes the dependence on these resources in these regions even greater. Qin's dependence on resources would further encourage Qin to explore more areas. Meng Tian said at this time.
"Hmm." King Qin smiled and nodded. What Meng Tian said, this is the result that King Qin wants. The King of Qin was worried about the cessation of Qin's expansion. In the past, the Qin State expanded and could quickly and extensively attack the expanded territory, but now, the expansion of the Qin State has stagnated, and most of them have stopped and cannot advance further.
Although from a military point of view, the military cost is too high. This led to the expansion of the Qin State basically stopped, and it was precisely because the King of Qin was worried about this that he was a little dissatisfied with the steel, as well as the recent situation of the Qin State.
The resource theory proposed by Meng Tian made the King of Qin feel very satisfied, the previous expansion of the Qin State must have been expanded to meet a resource demand, but now it cannot be expanded, it must not have found a suitable resource expansion, and now the Qin State has found it. This resource is steel, and a series of expansions centered on steel will allow the Qin State to expand again, which is what the King of Qin wants to see.
Zhao Guo Handan. Maoyang Flour Mill.
"Come on, the flour mill is grinding flour cheaply." Outside the gate of the Maoyang Flour Mill, the guys from the Maoyang Mill shouted loudly. Outside the door, many Zhao people pushed wheelbarrows and horse-drawn carriages to the door of the flour mill.
"Look at the flour milled by the Maoyang flour mill, it's really fast, in the past, outside those flour mills, it took us at least half a day to get the flour, but in other people's homes, it can be obtained in less than half an hour. And it's fast, you look at the ink, there's no skin at all. One woman said to another. Two men walked out with a small half-sack of flour smiling.
"Not only that, but it's also very cheap. It's fast. Another woman said with a smile.
"It's, it's just, it's not just fast, it's cheap, it's a lot faster than those mills." The woman continued.
Outside the entrance of Chen's Mill. Watching a lot of people go to the flour mill. Chen Shishi was so angry. Because many people go to the flour mill and do not come to his mill, in this way, his mill has no way to live. This is extremely unfavorable to them, this kind of thing makes Chen Shishi extremely annoyed, but there is nothing to be done, after all, the advantages of others are there.
