"The Goguryeo side has purchased quite a large number of weapons, and I think they may have the potential to expand the strength of two divisions." Meng Yi looked at the report sent by the Ministry of Defense and said.

"Don't worry, they won't deal with us, their financial situation won't last long, for such a country, we should support them as much as possible, anyway, we have a lot of gold coming in, which is a very good thing for us." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"It's just that they are expanding their forces like this, and the threat to Yan is very huge." Meng Yi said.

"Their finances are what we should be most worried about, they've shipped us a lot of gold, and I think from that point of view, we should think carefully about whether we're doing the right thing at the moment." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"I don't understand what you mean?" Meng Yi asked Shang Wen.

"My meaning is very simple, at present we can divide the country into two simple kinds, one is that the country that gives us a large amount of gold in Qin, such as Goguryeo, Dawan, and Yueshi, if possible in the future, there may be Tocharians, but we don't understand whether the Tocharians have gold, or other resources." Shang Wen said.

"On the other hand, we also need another kind of resource export, which is our currency, for example, Zhao State, South Korea, Chu State, they need a lot of currency to maintain their liquidity, so that they are potential trading countries in the future, and gold importers." Shang Wen said.

"Isn't that a bit simplistic?" Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and asked.

"The simpler things are, the more complicated they are, I think so, at present, all countries need a lot of liquidity, but we need to maintain the half-tael monetary system that Qin has built up with great difficulty. This system is another form of money, paper money, a revolutionary currency. Shang Wen said.

"It's never been before, and it's a solution to such a problem as deflation." Shang Wen said.

"But now, for us, we need to solve more problems, for example, we need to maintain such a paper money system, we all know that the printing of paper money is very simple, however, the gold reserves are very small, this is because gold needs to be mined, the current Qin government, and the Qin Federal Bank Reserve Committee lack so many paper money, which requires us to complete so many gold reserves as soon as possible, our task is so simple." Shang Wen said.

"Hmm." Meng Yi said.

"In other words, in order to complete the gold, and maintain the Qin banknote system, the Qin state should encourage Goguryeo to continue to expand, and if necessary, we can allow them to do more outrageous things?" Meng Yi asked.

"Yes, that's what it means, they fight, we collect money, it's a fair deal. In the past, it was the Qin State that fought the war, and the national economy could be stimulated, but at present, we need neighboring countries to fight, so that our military industrial enterprises and other enterprises can develop rapidly, which is a huge good news for us. Shang Wen said with a smile. That's Shangwen's plan.

Before the Qin State, most of the economy had the factors stimulated by the war, but now the Qin State is fighting fewer and fewer wars, the main reason is still the problem of financial difficulties, the Qin State needs to build, a large amount of funds need to be invested in it, and the financial funds cannot all be used in the national defense budget, in addition, there are other things, such as railway transportation, road transportation difficulties, etc., these are one of the factors that Qin State cannot carry out the war. However, the fundamental factor was still the financial difficulties of the Qin government, because the long-term low taxes were bound to reduce fiscal revenues.

At the same time, the large output of Qin's capital needs to maintain Qin's current paper money system, which is the main driving force for maintaining Qin's current power expansion. A large amount of gold poured in, exchanged for a large amount of Qin banknotes, and then they went into mineral mining, the establishment of iron works, the establishment of shipyards, the flow of bank funds, and so on. These are all manifestations of the activity of Qin banknotes, but there is a big hidden danger behind this performance, that is, the payment ability of Qin banknotes, that is, how much gold he can represent, and what is the amount of gold. These are decisions that they need to make. As a result, the Qin State frantically bought a large amount of gold in order to increase its gold reserves. Bonds are one thing, possibly from the future redemption of gold, and now, what they need to do is to increase gold reserves and stabilize the current situation.

"As long as Goguryeo fights, we will have a large influx of gold, and these are things that we should pay attention to. We don't have to worry too much. Shang Wen said.

"If that's the case, then, may I ask, how to deal with the affairs of the Yue people?" Meng Yi asked.

"You know, the Yueshi people only have a large number of slaves in their hands, labor, and the transportation situation is also very inconvenient, although the Yueshi people have given up some rights, they still have a certain amount of road control, and our penetration of this country is very insufficient." Meng Yi said.

"Hmm. I'm still a little bit clear about this, but the main problem is that what Qin needs is an extension of transportation lines. This needs to be supported by financial funds. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Although we can use the method of the trading company to solve it, but for now, we still need to wait for some time to solve these problems, the problem is that we can wait for these times, but the Dawan people, the Yueshi people, and others can't wait, we need to finish it as soon as possible." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"We know that, but it takes financial support. We can't do anything like that. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen. Shang Wen just nodded, he was thinking about how to solve this problem, the extension of transportation can further solve the problem of Qin's expansion, the reason why the Western Regions is the largest expansion range for Qin, and traditional China, is because the traffic conditions here limit the further extension of an empire. At present, the Qin State has also encountered the same problem, the difference is that the Qin State can solve some problems through technical means, such as, railways, telegraphs, radio and a series of methods to solve these problems, however, the use of technical means requires a large amount of funds, if there is no intensive capital investment, these problems can be solved, but the financial means of the Qin State are currently in a state of stagnation and cannot solve such problems. Time becomes the biggest problem.
