When Yingyu received this report, her mind was blank, and she suddenly felt that she didn't know what to do. Gold, banks especially need a lot of gold. Especially after futures trading began to trade large quantities of gold. Gold is also very much needed.

Yingyu didn't know what to do. immediately went to Shangwen to solve this problem. She wanted to hear what Shangwen had to say. Ultimately. Yingyu is still just a little girl after all. In the face of such a big problem. She needs someone to help her with her ideas.

Shangwen is solving the problem of geographic surveying. After Shang Wen's last lecture, a large number of surveyors began to use sextants to make field measurements. The measurement of the meridian is the measurement of the meridian. There is also the measurement of latitude. Longitude and latitude have begun to be accepted, because new references have indeed been discovered. The problem now is that measurements require a lot of field data. Should the government give this money to help them complete the surveying work?

Taking into account the accuracy of the acquisition of land. Shang Wen decided to spend a special sum of two thousand gold to complete the work. Shang Wen was signing the appropriation order. Yingyu still walked in the door in her own way.

"Smack." Yingyu suddenly closed the door again and walked over in a hurry.

"What's the matter?" Shang Wen put down his pen and asked.

"Look at this." As she spoke, Yingyu took out a manuscript from her women's leather bag and handed it to Shang Wen.

Shang Wen looked at Yingyu and then opened it.

"What? Did you find gold? Shang Wen stood up suddenly.

"Yes, that's what the report says, and a lot of people already have a lot of gold jewelry. These are: As she spoke, Yingyu took out some physical objects from her purse. Shang Wen picked it up and took a look. The fineness of the gold is still good. I saw that the local mining had a certain foundation, otherwise it would not be made into gold jewelry.

"We don't have control over these places yet, do we?" Shangwen asked.

Yingyu nodded.

"Oh my God." Shang Wen exclaimed.

"Oh my God, oh the earth, I want to ask. What am I going to do? Yingyu asked.

"What to do? You know very well. Shang Wen said indifferently. Shang Wen's sigh was actually surprised by what happened later. If this news is released, it will attract a large number of people to emigrate, just like the gold rush in the United States. Immigration, gold panning. Get rich and so on. The reason why you control the issuance of banknotes is very simple. It's gold. Although the Qin State had large gold reserves, it did not have a place to produce gold. As far as Shang Wen currently knows, there are only two places, one in Qi Country and one in Yan Kingdom. And there is no such place in the Qin State. The discovery of gold meant having a say in the issuance of banknotes. Yingyu knows very well that she is a banker. She understood what that meant.

"What I want to ask is, how do I get it. There's a desert over there, and a large number of tribes, and even a city, and my people can deal with the Qiang tribes. After all, there are few of them, but they can deal with such a large number of people. We are so few men, and what if the war is lost? Yingyu said waving her arms. Shang Wen sat down very easily and watched Yingyu excitedly talk about his thoughts.

But Yingyu is really bold. She had decided to use the means of war to acquire the land that held the gold mines. It's not easy. The current state of Qin has commercialized warfare. Taking the initiative to attack on a small scale, to expel and hunt down those minorities, is in fact a form of commercialization of war. It's just that it doesn't seem so intense.

But now Yingyu dares to openly demand war against small countries such as Loulan in the southern Xinjiang region for the sake of gold. This meant that the belligerent power was suddenly delegated to these merchants. The merchants have armed forces in their hands, and in order to seek greater benefits, they are actively attacking small countries. Warmonger. They are selling war to these small countries. The power of capital is beginning to manifest itself.

"The state will provide you with the backing of force." Shang Wen said slowly.

"Backing!" Yingyu said.

"Yes, backing. You have also seen the situation of the Qin State so far. Finances are terrible. A lot of places are using money. The government is now spending every penny of money. If there is another war, it is estimated that I, the prime minister, will not be able to fight. The size of the troops to be used was strictly controlled under a single brigade. This is backed by force. Shang Wen said helplessly. In fact, this means that the military will dispatch a brigade at most. Leave the rest alone. How you fight, it's all your business.

"That's all you guys are going to do?" Yingyu had apparently divided Shangwen apart.

"Yes. Only so many troops can be dispatched. Moreover, it is necessary to ensure the security of the border areas. Although there is still a large blank space, only a small number of immigrants are there. But their job is to keep migrants safe. Otherwise, migration will not be able to proceed. Shang Wen explained.

"Actually, I have a suggestion." Shang Wen said.

"What advice?" Yingyu asked.

"You can issue stocks, or bonds, I read the newspapers, and only your military factories are listed at the moment. And your bank, as well as the trading company, are not among them, why don't you go public and publish the news, many people will get involved, people for gold. It's likely that hot-headed people will voluntarily join. And you have a lot of capital, and you take the lead. It's okay to gather more than 10,000 people, it's very likely that there will be other security guards, trading companies, and you can also call on them to participate, and you can take down these countries. It will be divided according to the pre-agreed agreement. As for the gold mines? The land is laid by you. You can sell the land you don't have to the government, and we will pay for it. You occupy the gold mines, and as long as you pay a certain fee, we will issue you a mining license. What do you think? Shangwen proposed.

"Hmph. What do you think? I'm busy here, and you don't move anything, and you make a profit on such a large piece of land. You, villain. Saying that, Yingyu scolded by pulling Shang Wen's ear hard.

"It hurts. I'm doing this for the benefit of the country. for the country. Shang Wen exclaimed.

"Hmph. For the country, for the country, never for me. Yingyu said angrily.

"I didn't think about it. Think about it, your business is so big, if I didn't provide you with policy support, would you be able to get such a big profit? Moreover, this is a war profiteering. The right to go to war is state. "What is the right to war in this era. It's just that the teacher is famous. But against those small countries in the Western Regions, the languages are different, and what right to war?
