The Qin State had no intention of interfering too much in the internal affairs of the Yan State, but the current situation had tied the Qin State and the Yan State together. Yan's economy was closely linked to Qin's, although Yan's domestic demand market was relatively small. But there is a great demand for arms. Because the country is constantly fighting. The country's economy has tended to be in a state of weakness, but the Qin state does not care about these at all. They just need their own economy to develop rapidly.
Qin's stock index jumped from 120 points to more than 300 points, of which arms contributed about 60 points. It is conceivable that if there was no war, the economy of the Qin State would not have developed so quickly.
On the other hand, the war was catastrophic, but on the other side it had a greater facilitating effect. In the Qin state, some economists saw the great contribution of the war to the Qin state. So, they began to vigorously promote their views in the academy.
"The economic impact of war is very clear. Warfare requires a wide variety of supplies, from weapons, to soldiers' uniforms, and large quantities of food. These need someone to produce, and the industrial base of our Qin State can produce these materials in large quantities, and then sell these materials, then Qinggou will get wealth. "An economics professor in his classroom vigorously publicizes an economic phenomenon he has discovered.
"The role of war is not only in the production of materials. At the same time, there are also research topics on employment issues. The professor mentioned a point.
"The economy, according to the Prime Minister's meaning, is a redistribution of social resources. The same applies to people. ”
"People are also a resource. The distribution of human resources is also part of the economy. ”
"Man is divided into man and woman." At this time, the students at the bottom laughed. Because there is a third type of people in the Qin State.
"Don't laugh. Take this issue seriously. The professor motioned for the students not to laugh and continued with the lecture.
"In peacetime, the distribution of human resources is carried out mainly through commercial activities, as well as through various forms of competition. But is this distribution justified? The professor asked.
"No, it's unreasonable, any system has its drawbacks, which cannot be avoided."
"But war can make the system, and the allocation of human resources, more efficient and rational. Because in the absence of it, efficiency tends to increase a lot. ”
"For example, war is a disaster for men, because the country has to send a large number of young and middle-aged men to the front line to fight, and if they fight, they will die, and if they die, they will not be able to replenish in time in a short time. So, people, too, are a consumable. Then there are more people fighting on the front. This country grows food, supplies, what to do? The professor then asked.
"I have also thought about this question, then there is another resource in this country, and that is women. If the state can effectively centralize and manage the resources of the whole country, then it will play a greater role. If there are men fighting on the front line, then women can use the help of machines to produce more weapons and supplies. Nowadays, the industry is becoming less and less physically demanding. The number of mechanics can be trained in just a few working days. In particular, the convenience brought by assembly line operations, in this case, women can still go to work in the factory like men. Only then did the Qin State become normal. "The professor apparently visited the various factories in the Qin State, and there were indeed a large number of female workers in the Qin State. The existence of these female workers, female white-collar workers, and various female jobs made the Qin State begin to put gender equality as an important social issue. Women's rights are more protected than in the six countries.
However, the professor then returned to another level, after all, women's issues were not his research direction. His main research area is the mechanism of centralized government management in wartime. In other words, it is managed in accordance with the laws and regulations of the state. This idea is mainly based on the study of the history before the Qin state, which had a high degree of existence whenever there was a war, especially after the Shang Dynasty changed the law. It can be said that at that time, people just thought that it was a political system, but they did not realize that there was a lot of economic background hidden under this political system. These economic contexts are precisely where they are overlooked.
Qin's idea of wartime economic management does have a historical background, but it also has great market prospects for marketing. The country that this market is selling is the country of Yan. Members of the Qin government's cabinet had already begun to write a report on this idea and submit it to Shang Wen for consideration.
"What you mean is that it is recommended that Yan Guo unify all the powers and then produce according to Yan Guo's own will. Is that so? Shang Wen asked.
"Yes, only in this way will Yan Kingdom have wealth, and only in this way can we get more benefits." A government cabinet member said.
"How much is at stake?" Shangwen asked.
"We don't know, but it's a lot of potential. And only with the economic development of Yan can we make more money and merchants pay more taxes. The officer continued.
"No, I don't think so, the market is still free, only in this way can our government spending be reduced, and more resources can be distributed naturally in society. If it's left to the government, then think about how much money we need. If it is replaced by Yan Guo, does Yan Guo still have financial funds for us? Shang Wen asked.
"No, it's impossible to give it to us." Shang Wen replied.
"Moreover, our banks can only carry out investment activities if they are free. Capital can be exported on a large scale, and this capital can help us control a country. Shang Wen said.
"Only freedom can make our military orders fly all over the sky and let more demand stimulate our production. I wouldn't agree with that, and it's a great opportunity now. We have access to economic entities in other countries. Shang Wen said.
"Alright. Don't mention this report. Shang Wen vetoed the report.
In his opinion, what Qin's economy needs is a lot of freedom, not only Qin, but also many other countries, only to continuously reduce the areas controlled by the government, and at the same time relax the degree of freedom, so that free trade can expand rapidly. in order to make the economy develop rapidly. investment, business activities can be accelerated.
Much of the economic boom has been due to the degree of liberalization. Having lived in the United States, Shang Wen naturally knows how prosperous the economy is under this freedom. But at the same time, there is another hidden danger, that is, excessive freedom brings excessive expansion. This eventually led to the development of a bubble economy.
And this kind of wartime economic policy is actually emphasizing the government's ability to control and control. For example, Yan State is such a situation, the idea of government officials is actually like this, the banks of Qin State began to lend a large amount of funds to Yan State, but, judging from the danger of banks lending themselves. Yanguo's ability to repay is very poor. It is even worse than Zhao, which has a large number of coal mines that can be used as collateral, but Yan has only a small part of gold mines, as well as coal and iron resources, timber resources, and nothing else. Therefore, government officials are in the long run, and should let Yan Guo integrate his country's resources as soon as possible, and then have a certain ability to repay, only in this way can Qin State recover the original funds.
But no one knows what the economy is like now. The Shang Wen faction is excessively liberal, while the other faction has not yet formed a faction to emphasize the role of the government. But for now. It seems that Shangwen's faction is more tenable. Because the economic boom is a good example.
"Alright. Dead nerds. Don't think about it. Shang Wen is thinking about a question, that is, whether to visit Zhao State, because Zhao State's prime minister has been appointed. And there will be an inauguration ceremony for the prime minister. The invitation had already been sent to Shang Wen by telegram.
"I want to go out and walk around alone, are you free? If not, forget it. I'll go on my own. Xianyang: I don't want to stay anymore. Yingyu said complainingly.
Xianyang has formed a unique urban life, every day people get up early and start busy, working white-collar workers, workers, students, teachers, and all kinds of vendors. The pace of life is getting faster and faster. This can be seen in people's acceptance of time.
Watches began to become a popular item for people. Everybody has a watch, men and women. Especially those who go to work, they look at the time quite a lot, they either drive, or do public trams to get to work, a kind of timing device makes the working class of Qin State busy every day. Lunch is starting to get easier. People are also under increasing pressure.
For example, Yingyu is, as the scale of bank lending continues to expand. She also has a lot of things to do, although Xiao He is in charge, but some things still need her signature to take effect. Even so, she was busy enough.
"No need. I have time, just this one. Shang Wen said and handed Zhao Guo's invitation to Yingyu.
"Well, Zhao Guo. What is there to do in Zhao Guo. Yingyu asked.
"Can you take me?" Yingyu asked.
"What's this? I don't know yet, but I can take you there, we can not only go to Zhao Kingdom, but also to Yan Kingdom, it just so happens that there are still some things on Yan Country's side, we can fight black bears in the primeval forest. Or let's go skiing. Shang Wen suggested.
"Skiing?" Yingyu asked suspiciously.
"Yes, skiing, a sporting activity, and it's winter, so we can do that." Shang Wen continued.
"Yes. Skiing. Sounds interesting. Yingyu said.
