1014 is not right, the direction is wrong!
"This new republic is a brand-new system exists, this kind of system, only in the most idealized state of the village, and the ideology of this country is different from us, they are not loyal to the king, such a country, there is no sense of kingship, and the existence of such a country is a huge impact for those countries that have the king's allegiance." Shang Wen wrote in the report.
"It's like saying, look, the king also has no allegiance. Then how sad it would be for us to have one more king. Shang Wen wrote in the article.
"This is a challenge to the royal power, if we support it, then it seems to tell that the king himself does not exist, so the existence of this country is superfluous and very dangerous, so I think that this country, the Qin State should adopt a closed way and should let it go. Let it fend for itself. The state of Qin should not lend a helping hand to it. Shang Wen said.
"Moreover, with the current strength of the Qin State, it is not enough to stretch our hands to a place separated by a country, so there is really no need for that, if possible. In that case, the Qin State will not get anything, and the Qin State currently needs to solve many problems, and the solution of these problems is very tricky. The problems of the North need to be reconsidered, and the domestic economic problems and the problems of defense spending need to be balanced. Qin's attention should be at home, not abroad. Qin should slow down the intensity of foreign warfare. In this way, the Qin State could accumulate strength for the next round of operations. Shang Wen wrote in the report.
In the report, Shang Wen also wrote about other things. Mainly, the main advantage of cutting military spending is that huge military spending will be a great burden on the economy. Qin is currently implementing a low tax policy, which has greatly encouraged Qin's economic development, but the negative effect is that the country's fiscal revenue level is not high as a whole, although it has increased, but it is still beyond its means. Low taxes can certainly bring economic prosperity, but fiscal revenues will be under great pressure. Shangwen's government spending hovered in such a low tax range, and low taxes were an important magic weapon for the second rise of the Qin state. Shang Wen relied on this to make the rapid rise of the Qin State.
You know, Europe practiced mercantilism in a period of time, and for merchants, they reduced a lot of taxes. These taxes have given these countries strong economic vitality. These economic vitality have created one national legend after another, and Shangwen hopes to create a miracle of the Qin State under such economic vitality.
Apparently Shang Wen was right. But the Qin State is currently a little overwhelmed. Because, the huge foreign expenditure drained the treasury of the Qin State. When the treasury of the Qin State was empty, private capital was developing rapidly. This is exactly what Shang Wen said he wanted to see. Shang Wen was completely turning the original phalanx of the Qin State around. According to Shang Jun's theory. A strong country and a rich people are opposites. And Shangwen is enriching the people at the cost of weakening the power of the state, and at the same time, Shangwen is also building a whole system of national armed forces to strengthen the country.
Shang Wen's thoughts came according to his own thinking, and no one would understand what he thought. He is dealing with the present with a sense of historical responsibility.
By the time I'm done writing this. It's getting late. It's late. Shangwen turned off the lights. Standing alone in front of the window, the Qin State outside the window already has the appearance of a modern city, with high-rise buildings and a large number of buildings under construction, and those electric lights are like stars in the sky to illuminate this country that exudes a modern atmosphere again. This country is very similar to that country, however, there are still many historical paths to be followed, and no one knows the future.
Shang Wen thought so. Shang Wen thought a lot about it that night, perhaps the emergence of this republic made Shang Wen's thoughts heavy.
And in the far south. A merchant ship is sailing on the sea.
"Boom. Boom". The waves are high and big. Boats can be flipped into the sea by the waves at any time.
The sailors on board clung to the cables. The huge waves can easily sweep them into the water, and then they won't even have a chance to live.
"Can you see the shore?" At this time, the captain asked loudly. The first mate becomes the new captain and he will be in charge of the safety and navigation of the entire ship. They can only realize their dreams of wealth by returning to civilization.
"I can see a little." A sailor lying high on the mast said loudly.
"Yes. Very good. The captain said.
"We walked along the coastline. We can go back to civilization very quickly. At this time, the captain said. He had heard that many boats relied on the coastline as a traffic marker, so that they could quickly find their way home and find their wealth. At the beginning of this Age of Discovery, people had not yet mastered accurate geo-mapping techniques. In particular, the state of Chu relied on experience, the experience of the captain, while the state of Qin, although it had accurate measurement technology, they mainly used it on land, not on the sea. And Chu did not have such a developed education system and surveying and mapping system, so they could only rely on experience, the most terrible thing about navigation is to lose the reference, the reference is nothing more than the stars in the sky and the reference on the earth, therefore, the Chu people chose the easiest way, that will be along the coastline to explore, obviously, they chose the simplest and most time-efficient reference method. This is done along the coastline.
The captain, apparently also thought that they could return to their country as long as they returned north along the coastline. In this way, they could get more wealth by selling a shipload full of slaves. That's what they think.
"We're going to have to walk for a long time." At this time, some South Korean mercenaries couldn't stand it anymore. The huge bumps made it very difficult for these mercenaries from the mainland to recover. They can't resist the vertigo that comes with riding a boat. Not only them, but even those slaves, they were a little unbearable, and many slaves had not eaten for many days. There are also many people who are already sick. The mercenaries could not withstand such bumps either.
"Soon." A crew member said at this time.
"I can't take it anymore." A mercenary said.
"Ahh As he spoke, the mercenary vomited. The crew member walked away in disgust. Something like this happens every day. And the crew and strange, these mercenaries have been here for so long, they have not yet gotten used to this kind of life at sea, and after they arrive at a place, they still need to adapt to a long time, which is really strange for them.
Moreover, after they have sailed, they don't have any strength to fight, what are they doing here? Not being able to adapt to life at sea is a disaster for them. The catastrophe was caused by their own inability to adapt.
And the Korean merchant was extremely anxious on this ship, because he felt that something was wrong there. He always felt that his ship had been gone for a long time. Although they could get fresh water and all kinds of food along the coastline, they could not get wealth without returning to the Central Plains, which prevented the merchants from having a reliable sense of security for a long time.
After a stressful night. The next day, the wind was calm. The white clouds in the sky fluttered everywhere, like sheep on the grassland. With the salty smell of seawater. Let the crew feel a little excited, after all, it is a good weather, with good weather, they can return quickly.
"Oh no. I can't see the coastline anymore. At this time, the lookout post at the top of the mast shouted loudly.
"What?" Hear this amazing news. The captain broke out in a cold sweat.
"You can't see the coastline." At this time, the lookout man shouted loudly.
"Damn it. When it was invisible. The captain said loudly.
"Take a telescope and take a closer look." The captain shouted nervously.
"Alright." The lookout post said as he picked up the binoculars to check.
The captain then climbed up the watchtower to inspect it.
"Just now, I just checked it for a while, and the coastline suddenly disappeared." At this time, the lookout post said.
"Just now. It didn't take long. At this time, the captain said.
"Less than a stick of incense." At this time, the lookout post said.
"Return immediately." "Quick." The captain shouted to the bottom.
"Return immediately. Hurry up. One of the crew members commanded loudly. The ships began to turn immediately at this time, returning to the position they had just come.
"How is it possible, how can the coastline be gone all of a sudden." This time. The captain was skeptical.
The ship quickly reversed course and returned to its original course. Walked about a stick of incense. The lookout shouted loudly at this time.
"I see the shoreline." At this time, the lookout post shouted loudly.
"I see the shoreline." The lookout post shouted loudly. As if the captain couldn't hear.
"I see it." At this time, the captain said steadily.
"Immediately order the ships, get close to the coastline, hurry." At this time, the captain gave an order.
"But if we get too close, we'll run aground." At this time, the crew below reminded.
"I know. It's better than not going back. "This time. The captain said.
"Quick." The captain said loudly. Apart. The ships approached the shoreline. And the captain took out a compass at this time.
"It's not in the right direction, how can we go east." At this time, the captain said with a compass.
"We should be going north, but there's no coastline to the north." The captain said to himself. The crew on the side looked at him nervously.
"We're just walking along the coastline." The captain said.
