As for improving welfare, treatment and the like, we can learn from it, but these are all money-oriented, Qin has no money, the treasury has been emptied, and we have to prepare for the construction of a medical system, although last autumn had a bumper harvest, it only alleviated the food problem.

And the reason why the Qin State was able to wage war every year was to concentrate all the wealth on the country, reward one and punish two, and the reward would never be much punished, if the welfare was really improved, it would mean that the Qin State would give profits, which was contrary to the original intention.

It also meant that if Qin could not expand its financial resources, it would not be able to wage wars frequently in the future.

Thinking of this, King Qin couldn't help but think of the merchants who traveled west, it had been a whole year, and there was news at the beginning, but now there was no news at all.

Qin Wangji had no hope for these people in his heart.

However, he did not snub Lü Buwei because of this, no matter what, Lü Buwei is a talent, the kind that Qin State lacks the most.

In the past two years, the Qin State has continuously sent people to the six eastern countries to look for top scholars, but none of them have been found, the Qin State has made a move too late, and the one who really wants to be out of the country has been robbed by the Zhao State.

The rest either already have a master, or they just don't want to be a leader.

As for weakening the Zhao State, this is what the Qin State has been doing for so many years, it was only one step away from being completed before, and in the end, it fell short, and now there is no progress.

"Actually, the minister has been thinking about one thing, where did Zhao Guo get so much money? So much construction, even if the whole world is filled with money, it may not be enough. Fan Ju said puzzledly, "Perhaps, I, Qin State, can try...... Try to alleviate the repression of merchants? ”

Fan Ju didn't understand why Zhao Guo was so rich.

Agriculture? Farm tools such as quyuan plows and waterwheels were copied from the Qin State, and the land of the Qin State was no worse than the land of the Zhao State, and in some places it was even better than the Zhao State.

Animal husbandry? Qin's animal husbandry is also no worse than Zhao's, the two are an ancestor, both are horse-raising and made a fortune, can they still not understand animal husbandry?

Fishery? There may be this reason, the Qi State was quite wealthy when it enjoyed the benefits of fish and salt, and I heard that the Zhao State was also doing this, but this Qin State couldn't learn it.

Then only business remains, and Fan Ju also understands the reason why Shang Yang is heavy on agriculture and suppresses business, but after his continuous study during this time, he believes that businessmen should be controlled, but not excessively suppressed.

"Mr. just said that after the laws and regulations of Zhao State were formulated, they were first tried in Taiyuan, and then they were promoted throughout the country, since this is the case, then this matter will be tried in Bashu first, if it can indeed increase the tax revenue of our Qin State, and it will not affect the government and business, and then implement it throughout the country."

Qin Wangji felt that it was a good thing for Zhao Guo to try it out in one place first, even if there was a problem, it would only harm one place, and the harm would be much smaller.

If there is no problem, it will be two or three years late, and for a country, two or three years is nothing at all.

"No." Fan Ju leaned over and said.

"Does General Wang Yi have any suggestions for improving military strength?" Qin Wangji looked at Wang Ji.

"The last general suggested sending troops to attack the Qiang." Wang Di clenched his fists and said.

"The minister disagrees." Fan Ju said immediately.

Qin Wangji also frowned, not only Fan Ju didn't want to fight the Qiang people, in fact, there were few people in the entire Qin State who wanted to fight the Qiang people.

On the one hand, the Qiang people have a favorable location, and there are large mountains and plateaus everywhere, although the Qin State can repel the Qiang attack every time, it will hardly take the initiative to attack the Qiang people.

Compared with the Qin State, the Qiang people's terrain was too high, and it was difficult to fight down, and there was no way to immigrate to farm after defeat.

Where the land cannot be farmed, the Qin State does not want.

On the other hand, the Qiang people were too poor, most of the soldiers did not even have metal weapons, and the cattle, sheep and horses were concentrated in the hands of a few nobles, and the Qin State would not get anything even if it won the war.

The same is true for ordinary soldiers, if they want to get a knighthood, they need to kill armor soldiers, or low-level generals, and killing Qiang people has no military merit.

For Qin and his soldiers, winning a small loss and losing a big loss.

Unless the Qin State can take the old nest of the Qiang people, it will not only be able to make up for the losses, but also seize a large number of livestock and grain.

But this is difficult to do, the Qiang people are not the opponent of the Qin army in a frontal battle, once the Qiang people hide in the mountains, the Qin army has no way to deal with them.

If the Qiang people pose a threat to the Qin State, the Qin State will have a reason to exterminate the Qiang people with a large number of casualties, but the Qiang people are scattered, except for often disgusting the Qin State, there is no threat to the overall situation of the Qin State.

A neighbor who was poor, not a threat to him, and difficult to deal with, the Qin State could not find any reason to attack.

Therefore, even if the Qiang people often harassed the southwest and western borders of Qin, Qin sent troops to drive him westward, and they would not harass Qin in a short time.

Out of sight, out of mind.

"Reason." Qin Wangji said that although he did not approve of attacking the Qiang people in his heart, he still decided to listen to Wang Di's opinion before making a decision.

"Training. Since the cavalry came out, it has far surpassed the chariots in terms of mobility, and it is difficult to cope with it on the plains. After Zhao Guo equipped the war horses with stirrups, saddles, and horse hooves, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry increased greatly. ”

"The ministers thought that the future must be the world of cavalry. But the cavalry of the world came out of the Zhao State, and the cavalry of the Zhao State was ten times stronger than the Qin State. If Qin could not establish an elite cavalry as soon as possible, he would definitely not be Zhao's opponent on the battlefield in the future. ”

"The best place to train troops is the battlefield, the most suitable opponent around is the Qiang people, they are numerous, and at the same time the strength is not strong, with the strength of the Qin State can minimize the battle damage, both can train the troops without too much loss."

There is no shortage of warriors suitable for cavalry in Qin, there are a large number of good cavalry seedlings in Longxi, Beidi and other places, and there is no shortage of war horses in Qin, there are a large number of war horses in the northwest and Hexi corridors, and they can also catch wild horses.

The Qin State also did not lack generals and inheritances who could train cavalry, all that was lacking was time and platforms.

Zhao developed cavalry too early, and accumulated more cavalry than the other six countries combined, and under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Qin to catch up, so he could only overtake in corners.

The road to the east has been blocked, and the whole army will be moved, the north is next door and the desert, and the south is the mountains and forests, so you can only attack the Qiang people in the southwest.

"In addition, the minister suggested that the Qiang, Yue, and Xizhi should be recruited as subordinates in times of war, and many of them are better at fighting on horseback than we do." Wang Di said.

"This is okay, but attacking the Qiang people, it may be difficult for the treasury to support it all the time." Qin Wangji shook his head.

After listening to Wang Di's words, he was a little moved, the Qin State was very much in need of an elite cavalry so that he would not fall into disadvantage when facing the Zhao State in the future.

But as long as the Qiang people can get richer a little bit, so that the Qin State will not be able to make ends meet, Qin Wangji agreed.
