The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Just leave this to the prime minister. You don't have to ask me." Yingyu received a telegram from Fugu Town and said to her female assistant after a quick glance.

"Just." The female assistant was a little embarrassed.

"They know what to do? I know that the amount is large. Only they can do this. We can't do anything at all?" Yingyu said.

"Yes. Chairman." The assistant nodded and left.

Inside the prime minister's house. Shang Wen has already signed diplomatic rhetoric, sternly requesting Wei State to cancel the checkpoint on the road leading to Qi State. Simultaneously. Shang Wen also took some measures to telegraph South Korea. In the private telegram to Han Shu, Shang Wen expressed his anger at the incident. It also expressed Qin's attitude towards this matter. If the matter cannot be resolved in a short time, Qin might use force.

At this point. Han Shu was very surprised. Because Shangwen seldom asks for the use of force actively, and this matter has not yet begun diplomacy, Shangwen has revealed his intention to use force. This is really very rare, but thinking about it, Han Shu also thinks Shang Wen's reaction is really reasonable. By letter, telegram. Shang Wen repeatedly emphasized the importance of the Silk Road. If you look at the whole strategic vision in a liberal manner, you will find it. On the Silk Road of the Qin Kingdom, the channel problem is a key, that is, the traffic volume of the entire channel to the Western Regions is small. Shang Wen is solving the whole problem.

In this section of South Korea, it is to attract a large number of businessmen to the Western Regions. Tariff reduction is a very important link, and the stimulus of tariffs is great. Land tax can attract merchants to make this riskier business. This is good for both countries. The passage connecting South Korea to Qi is actually the passage connecting the Maritime Silk Road in the future. The marine commodities landed on the east coast of Qi State can reach Xianyang in Guanzhong, and then pass through Xianyang in Guanzhong and pass through the Hexi Corridor to reach the Western Regions. Then connect the entire Silk Road. If possible in the future, Qin's commodities will also go to the ocean through this Silk Road. Han Shu figured this out, and it was not difficult to understand why Shang Wen was so impatient to use force. The reason is that Wei's untimely taxation at this time will affect Qin's strategic layout.

Qin State Xianyang.

"Look at this." Shang Wen's anger at the fact that Wei Guo did not set up a checkpoint has not subsided yet. Meng Yi handed Shang Wen another telegram.

"What's the matter?" Shang Wen didn't read the telegram, but directly asked Meng Yi.

"Qin State's Wenyang Bank in the Western Region Forked Town was robbed by horse bandits." Meng Yi said directly.

"When did it happen?" Shang Wen asked directly after listening.

"That is within this day. The news spread very quickly." Meng Yi said.

"The loss of preliminary statistics is a considerable loss. A loss of more than 500,000 gold." Meng Yi said.

"Oh. My goodness." Shang Wen was very shocked.

After hearing the news, Shang Wen could not speak for a long time.

"Why. Why?" Shang Wen asked.

"Forked Town is the only place where Qin State has set up a large number of banks in the Western Regions. In southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang, only offices are set up, because the situation in southern and northern Xinjiang is not very stable, and our actual control is still limited. There are still remnants of the Western Regions in some places. This is a threat to us. The location of the fork town happens to be the place where the southern and northern Xinjiang meet, plus the influence of the railway. The transfer of funds and deposits in various offices will be met. Gathered here. These horse bandits aimed at this point. Therefore, they ransacked the bank." Meng Yi said.

Shang Wen frowned.

"Is the local security situation so bad?" Shang Wen asked.

"En. There are not many police forces in the local area. There are, and there are only a few. They are very reluctant to maintain basic law and order. Such great ability will cause them heavy losses. The state government cannot pay them a stable salary. The state. We all know the financial situation of the country. I think. This issue is probably not a simple public security issue." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"What is your opinion?" Shang Wen asked.

"I think we should change our fundamental purpose for establishing these states." Meng Yi said.

"This question is very serious." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"But it is also strategic, our states. How can I say it. Qin State occupies a lot of land, but these lands need to be managed. In this regard, Qin State is very inadequate. It can be said. We are basically. We did not think about this issue. Our attention has always been on Guanzhong. The East. The attention paid to the Northwest and the North is far from enough." Meng Yi said.

"En." Shang Wen was lost in thought. Shangwen feels that what Meng Yi said makes sense. Qin State did not manage the Western Regions well before, because the strategic structure has not risen to a very high level. right now. There have been many such things. The previous train attack on King Qin, the ambush of the Western Regions, and the large robbery that occurred at the Wenyang Bank of the Western Regions this time. All of these actually exposed the problems of Qin State's management in the Western Regions.

"This is a business problem. We really did not do well enough. Otherwise, there would not be so many diplomatic incidents and public security incidents. The cohesion of these states will not be very strong." Shang Wen continued.

"What is the prime minister's thoughts?" Meng Yi asked.

"My idea is not very mature yet." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Tingling bell." At this moment. The phone rang. Meng Yi quickly stepped forward to answer the phone. Shang Wen was thinking about the question just now. In Shang Wen's view. This problem can be big. Shang Wen felt that he should be able to see clearly from another angle.

These states were all immigrant states established by the Qin State, and their original purpose was to decompose the six nations. With low taxes and vast land as conditions, Qin attracted a large number of immigrants from the six nations. But the number of immigrants is very limited. Many people from the Six Nations will not choose to immigrate under compelling circumstances. In fact, Qin also took a long time to transfer some poor households from Guanzhong to emigrate.

With the frantic progress of the Qin front, the populations of these states in the Qin state have great mobility. In the beginning, these states can establish a state with a population of 200,000. but. After the state was established, the population shifted before. In fact, the population of some states is not even 200,000. In this regard, Qin State did not take it seriously. In Qin State's view, a state was established. Far less than a county in Guanzhong. Naturally, there is no serious consideration for the state. This long-term unequal treatment makes it difficult for Qin to value the Western Regions.

"The prime minister. We are going to a meeting. Zhao Gao called and let us enter the palace." Meng Yi said.

"En." Shang Wen nodded. Then followed Meng Yi out of the office and got into the car.

Shang Wen didn't speak all the way, he was still thinking about this question. In fact, Shang Wen thought a lot. What exactly are these states. Shang Wen thought of this question.

"They are not a colony. They are part of the Qin State, but the special political system makes them look like they are not Qin's land. In this way, they become a small country." Shang Wen said to himself. Meng Yi on the side looked at Shang Wen strangely.

"These small countries have their own militias. That is, they have their own armed forces. These armed forces are independent. They only obey Qin's dispatch in name. But in fact, these militias guard their own homeland." Shang Wen said to himself. Speaking of the language.

Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen.

Let's go. We have to go to the palace to meet the king. "Meng Yi got off the car and said.

"En." Shang Wen got out of the car slowly. Then went up the steps with Meng Yi.

The two have not yet climbed a few steps. Shang Wen started to shake his head.

"No." Shang Wen said, shaking his head.

"Our view of these states is very short. We have to look at these states again." Shang Wen said.

"We should treat these states as a single small country. They have their own internal affairs and their own military, but they are not complete enough." Shang Wen said on the steps.

"The prime minister!" Meng Yi looked at Shangwen at this time.

"We want to unify these countries. Form a federal system." Shang Wen said his views at this time.

"Federal system?" Meng Yi asked. But what Meng Yi was concerned about at this time was to let Shangwen come to the palace as soon as possible, instead of standing on the steps to think about these issues.

"Yes, the federal system." Shang Wen said.

"These states have a complete reserve service system. Their militia is." Shang Wen continued.

"But they don't have many other capabilities. A country needs a lot of capabilities, such as internal security capabilities, as well as external diplomacy capabilities. But these states. Look." Shang Wen said with his hands.

"They lack these things." Shang Wen waved and said.

"Judging from the recent incidents, these states lack public security capabilities and financial capabilities. They also have diplomatic capabilities. They cannot develop diplomatic capabilities against Westerners. In comparison, these states will become a small country. Small countries are small states. We treat them as small states. We must implement a federal system and put some of their rights in the hands of centralized power. For example, diplomatic power, and some fiscal and public security capabilities. Our existence It can make up for some serious shortcomings of these states. By doing this, we can increase the control of the Western Regions. The federal system is to unite these states. Strengthen the control. Then these problems can be solved." Shang Wen waved and said. .

"Shangwen." Meng Yi signaled that Shangwen would go in for the meeting at this time. But Shang Wen thought of this and thought it was very important. If you don't say it at this time. Shangwen will feel very sorry.
