The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Goguryeo has purchased a considerable number of weapons. I think they may expand the potential of two divisions." Meng Yi said while looking at the report sent by the Ministry of National Defense.

"Don't worry, they will not deal with us. Their financial situation will not last long. For such a country, we should strongly support them. Anyway, we have a large amount of gold entering it. This is one thing for us. A very good thing cannot be better." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"It's just that the expansion of their forces in this way poses a huge threat to Yan State." Meng Yi said.

"Their financial situation is what we should worry about the most. They have shipped us a lot of gold. I think from this point of view, we should think carefully about whether we are doing it right now." Shang Wen Said to Meng Yi.

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

"What I mean is very simple. At present, we can divide the country into two simple ones. One is the countries that give us a lot of gold in Qin, such as Goguryeo, Dawan, and Yuezhi. If possible in the future, maybe even There are Tocharians, but we don't know if the Tocharians have gold or other resources." Shangwen said.

"On the other hand, we also need another kind of resource output. This is our currency. For example, Zhao, South Korea, and Chu. They need a lot of currency to maintain their liquidity. In this way, they It is a potential trading country and a gold importing country in the future." Shang Wen said.

"Is this division a bit simpler?" Meng Yi asked, looking at Shang Wen.

"The simpler things are more complicated. I think so. At present, all countries need a large amount of liquidity, but we need to maintain the half-two currency system that Qin has finally established. This system is another currency method, paper money. A currency with a revolutionary nature." Shang Wen said.

"Never before, and solved the problem of deflation." Shang Wen said.

"But now, for us, we need to solve more problems. For example, we need to maintain such a paper currency system. We all know that the printing of paper currency is very simple, but the reserves of gold are very small. This is because gold It needs to be mined. The current Qin government and the Qin Federal Bank Reserve Committee lack such a large number of banknotes. This requires us to complete such a large amount of gold reserves as soon as possible. Our task is as simple as that." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah." Meng Yi said.

"In other words, in order to complete the gold and maintain the Qin State paper currency system, Qin State should encourage Goguryeo to continue to expand. If necessary, we can allow them to do more extraordinary things?" Meng Yi asked.

"Yes, that's what it means. They fight, we collect money, and it’s a fair deal. Before the Qin State fought, the national economy can stimulate, but at present, we need neighboring countries to fight, so that our military enterprises, and other The company can develop rapidly. This is a huge piece of good news for us.” Shang Wen said with a smile. This is Shangwen's plan.

The economy before the Qin State was mostly stimulated by war. However, now that Qin is fighting less and less battles, the main reason is still financial difficulties. Qin needs to build and a large amount of funds need to be invested in it. Financial funds cannot be all. It is used in the national defense budget. In addition, there are other things, such as railway transportation, road transportation difficulties, etc., which are one of the factors that prevent Qin from conducting war. However, the fundamental factor is still the financial difficulties of the Qin government, because the long-term low tax will inevitably reduce fiscal revenue.

At the same time, the large amount of Qin's capital output needs to maintain the current paper currency system of the Qin State, which is the main driving force for maintaining the current expansion of the Qin State. A large amount of gold poured in, replaced by a large amount of Qin State banknotes, and then they entered mineral mining, iron factory establishment, shipyard establishment, bank funds flow and so on. These are all active manifestations of Qin's banknotes, but there is a big hidden danger behind this performance, which is the ability of Qin's banknotes to pay, that is, how much gold he can represent, and what is the amount of gold. These all require them to make a decision. Ever since, Qin State frantically bought a large amount of gold in order to increase its gold reserves. Bonds are on the one hand, which may come from the redemption of gold in the future. Now, what they need to do is to increase their gold reserves and stabilize the current situation.

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

"If this is the case, then, how do you deal with the Yueshi people?" Meng Yi asked.

"You have to know that the Yue people only have a large number of slaves, labor and traffic conditions are also very inconvenient. Although the Yue people have given up some of their rights, they still have certain road control rights. Our penetration of this country is very great. Not enough." Meng Yi said.

"Yeah. I'm more clear on this point, but the main problem is that what Qin needs is the extension of transportation lines. This requires financial support." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Although we can use the methods of trading companies to solve them, we still need to wait 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 cannot Wait, we need to complete the work as soon as possible." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"We know this too, but what we need is financial support. We can't do such a thing." Meng Yi said to Shangwen. Shangwen just nodded. He is 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 of this. Traffic conditions limit the further extension of an empire. At present, Qin State has encountered the same problem. The difference is that Qin State can solve some problems through technical means, such as railways, telegraphs, radios, etc., to solve these problems. However, the use of technical means requires a lot of funds. If there is no intensive capital investment, these problems can be solved, but Qin’s financial means are currently in a stagnant state and cannot solve such problems at all. Time becomes the biggest problem.
