Newspapers published the news of the earthquake at great speed. It was only when the people got up to read the newspaper on the morning of the third day that they learned about it. The Qin people were just surprised by the news, or treated it as a talking point today. For the rest, there is nothing.

The people of Zhao who were doing business in Xianyang tried to raise money and grain to be transported back to Zhao. And the rest of the people of the Six Nations merely expressed sympathy.

Ying'er, who is already the owner of a well-known fashion store, is raising money everywhere to buy a large number of blankets, food, medicines, and tents to send to Zhao because she used to be from Zhao Kingdom.

"Financial Express" also reported this matter for the first time, because they saw the fact that Zhao was short of food, they were unable to help the disaster, so it directly led to a general rise in food prices. Because demand stimulates supply relations. Even if there is a bumper grain harvest, prices are generally low. But they are still willing to push food prices up a bit.

But when the newspaper spread the news of the earthquake in Zhao Guodai, Li Mu's rescue letter was also delivered.

After Shang Wen read it, he immediately asked the King of Qin to order the military rations, blankets and other military supplies stored in the Taiyuan Military Region to be transported to Zhao State. King Qin didn't understand though. But still let the lieutenant give the order. After Shang Wen found Wei Yu, he quickly issued an order to change it. This order should be conveyed to the Taiyuan Military Region as soon as possible.

At the same time, Shang Wen ordered an emergency cabinet meeting to be held, and at the same time gave Li Mu a letter to prepare him for Zhao Guo. The state of Qin decided to come to the rescue. This is the best opportunity to improve relations between the two countries. The earthquake gave Qin an opportunity to improve the situation in which the two countries had previously been in direct confrontation.

"I believe that the state has learned about the earthquake in Zhao Guodaidi through the newspaper, and I want to say that Qin Guo decided to help the other party. What we are going to discuss now is how to help, how to use this aid to open the economic door of the other party, so that Zhao will become seriously dependent on Qin. Shang Wen said as he stood up. Because the office is so small. The sofa of the three people was crowded and there were four people. Others brought chairs and sat down.

"Why not send troops. Directly send troops to occupy the state of Zhao. Everything is solved. Yang Duanhe, as the representative of the General Staff, spoke first, and all along, the generals of the Qin State have always believed that they should always maintain military suppression of the Zhao State, and only in this way can the Zhao State be brought to its knees.

"No, no. This can only make the people of Zhao hate us Qin people even more, and they also think that our Qin people have won disgracefully. Presumably, the generals don't want to see such a thing. Shang Wen said.

"Moreover, there are also great changes in the current foreign policy, and we have to try to change the way we suppressed Zhao in the past. And there are many agreements signed between the two countries. Therefore, we cannot do this, otherwise we will lose our trust to the world. This is very detrimental to future reunification. All right. Back to the original topic. Shang Wen interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"I have ordered the Taiyuan Military Region to provide some material assistance to the other side, but this demand is far from enough, and the quantity is very large. In particular, some areas of Zhao have also suffered from drought, and our grain is piled up in warehouses waiting to mold. It's very bad for our production, the demand is too weak, and now is a good time to deal with that food. Shang Wen said.

"Not only that, but this is also another good time to boost our economy, we must not miss it, as for such a rescue, I would like to hear the advice of the bit." Shang Wen said.

Obviously, Shang Wen's cabinet is still a bit out of tune with the current economic model, because many people are used to the old model, after all, economic officials are the original members, not the management members of the existing economic entities. They still have a certain vague gap from the current economy. If this gap is not understood in time, I am afraid that it will cause great damage.

"Okay, let me tell you my opinion, first of all, we have to provide a large amount of loans to Zhao State, which is also the best time for our banknotes to be issued in Zhao State, which is extremely short of money. as collateral for loans, then their tariffs. In addition, there is a large labor force. We can't rescue in vain, a large number of laborers will enter our factories to work. I think the factory owners are more than happy to do that, besides. Shang Wen paused and continued.

"There is also the huge and combat-ready army of Zhao State, the number of this army is kept at about 300,000, and if we add some other troops, the loss to us will be even greater. And now the weapons are muskets, artillery, and the casualties will be greater, and we don't want to see a lose-lose situation. So, aid, to unify the Zhao state by more moderate means, I think, our nation will be very willing to see such an outcome. Shang Wen said.

Everyone nodded in acceptance, okay, let's talk about my arrangement.

Subsequently, Shangwen will start to arrange some matters, these matters include, medical assistance, food aid. and a news media offensive to publicize Qin's move, while also calling for civil society to participate. As for the subsequent series of financial assistance and diplomatic actions, Shang Wen decided to do it himself, and Yao Jia, as secretary of state, will urgently visit South Korea and Yan to get more countries involved, which is a critical moment to unite several countries. This helped to form a new alliance for the Qin state.

After the meeting, Shang Wen had to solve one of the biggest problems. funds, the issue of loans to Zhao Guo. The state of Qin has now developed three banks, and in addition, the establishment of state banks in newly established states is generally done by Yingyu or in cooperation with local state governments. Of these three banks, Yingyu's Wenyang Bank is undoubtedly the largest. The second is that the royal family set up their own banks, and they have a large amount of money in their hands. In order to cooperate with Shangwen's reform actions, the king of Qin took the initiative to ask the royal family to participate in commercial activities, so they themselves aimed at the big cake of the bank. The last one was set up by King Qin's own bank. The cost of the royal palace is very expensive. In addition to military spending, the second largest expense is the royal family's expenses, which is one of the main reasons why the Qin king took the initiative to participate in commercial activities. Military spending began to be cut on a large scale, and in order to make a statement, they participated in it. The ethos of the country is changing.

"Wenyang Bank." Shang Wen looked at the big signboard, took a deep breath, and walked in. It's been a while since Shang Wen came back, and after he came back, he hadn't even seen Yingyu's face. This is really some, unreasonable, and the worst thing is that Shang Wen even cut off the correspondence. Shang Wen could think of what kind of posture Yingyu would appear in.
