The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"This is a problem around the Western Regions." Shang Wen said and wrote on the notepad, then tore it off and put it on the ground. King Qin, Wang Jian and others opened a place for Shang Wenteng.

"This is military expenses, financial issues." Shang Wen said as he tore off what was written on the notepad.

"This is a federal problem for the states of the Western Regions." Shang Wen then tore off another piece of paper.

"After the federal issue, what we have to solve is Qin's military mobilization capabilities, especially the issue of military service." Shang Wen said. Then write it on a piece of paper, tear it off, and put it on the ground. King Qin looked at the note on the ground.

"Then the border issues, we have to set up trading companies and city banks to solve the problem of capital operation. These problems can solve Qin's finances and taxes." Shang Wen said. Then tear off the piece of paper. Shang Wen was placed on the ground.

"On the issue of the six countries, we can do the same." Shang Wen said. Then Shang Wen tore off another piece of paper. Put it on the ground.

"And, the general and the question of the captain are concentrated in the military service system, border trade, and city banks." Shang Wen said and put a little bit between the two notes.

"And after the Qin State implemented the federal system. All a series of systems must be changed. Before, most of our soldiers came from Guanzhong. But now it has changed. We need to concentrate our soldiers on several states, according to the population. How much is the proportion of recruits. The method of war is also carried out by trading companies. They recruit their own personnel and fight for money. The spoils obtained are their income." Shang Wen said.

"There are many more, but these are very beneficial to Qin." Shang Wen said.

"Wait. Then, wouldn't the army belong to those merchants anymore?" Wang Jian asked.

"No, no no, I didn't mean that." Shang Wen waved his hand and said to Wang Jian.

"I mean, in the new mode of war, we can involve merchants. These merchants can hire those savages to join the war, they can also hire our own people, or they can be members of the six-nation armies, as long as They pay, and they will come. There can be a lot of spoils. In this way, the army can be withdrawn and defended, and then we can carry out large-scale military reforms again." Shang Wen said to Wang Jian.

"It's military reform again?" Wang Jian is very sensitive to the vocabulary of military reform. Military reform has advantages but also disadvantages. Qin's first military reform is a real military reform. Into the cold weapon. The subsequent small-scale military reforms only popularized some military weapons and some management. In fact, the impact is far worse than the first time. What's more, Shang Wen has cut military expenditures several times in the name of military reforms, which makes Wang Jian extremely sensitive to military reforms.

"No, no. This time is different. This time is mainly to deal with future wars. Weapons of war are being upgraded, but our way of thinking in combat is still in the era of flintlocks. Many things need to be changed. Need to be adjusted. The application of current technology influences. Too fast." Shang Wen said.

"So, we have to change. How the Qin Jun develops in the future, we need to stop. Think about it." Shang Wen said to Wang Jian.

"What the prime minister meant, Qin is going to carry out another large-scale reform?" After hearing about the military reforms, King Qin carefully studied the notes his Shangwen placed on the ground. After the military reforms, a series of social reforms took place in the Qin society. If you look at the military and social reforms together, it is the second reform after the Qin State’s reform of the self-sovereign emperor. After the second reform, Qin's overall strength rose very quickly. If it were not for Qin's vast territory and limited military strength, Qin's reunification would be a very easy task. Taking all the factors together, Qin has already left all countries far behind. After experiencing the rise of Qin's tremendous national power after the reform, King Qin has been looking forward to Qin's rise to a higher level.

"Yes, Lord, I originally thought that this was not a major social reform, but after integrating all the issues just now, I suddenly realized that after these issues, there may be some kind of connection. So I I feel that this is a reform, and the State of Qin has to face another reform choice." Shang Wen said to King Qin.

"Change." After hearing this, King Qin said such a word without hesitation.

"After the Qin State implemented the Law of Merchants, the national power has been in a period of rising. After the emergence of our Qin State, the Qin State's national power has risen to an unprecedented height. Now, our Qin State has encountered a period of great changes in reform. The widows fully support it." King Qin said to Shang Wen.

"Thanks to the king." Shang Wen thanked King Qin.

"Thank you all." After Shangwen thanked King Qin, he saluted everyone.

"Qin's reforms are not my business alone, and they need everyone's strong support. Shang Wen thanked you all here." Shang Wen Xingli said.

"The prime minister is polite." Wang Jian and Wei Liao said.

"Get up. We are all together." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"I also want to ask the prime minister about the use of minority soldiers. This matter. I really cannot accept it." Wang Jian said worriedly.

"General, there are various ethnic minorities around us. These ethnic minorities have different habits. We don’t know how many ethnic groups we don’t know. They are attracted. Qin must accept them from an open and inclusive perspective. In the future, we may really have to fight with these people. This has a lot to do with the military service system implemented by Qin." Shangwen said.

"My plan is like this. Now our soldiers everywhere are recruited from the Qin State Pass. However, every state, especially the newly emerging states in the Qin State, does not have such a supply of troops. This has great potential for Qin State's warfare. Great restriction. If the Qin State implements the federal system, it can set up conscription stations on this basis. Provide a wider range of troops for the State of Qin. Then, according to the number of enlisted states, a certain establishment will be given. After a certain amount of training, they are the standing forces of our Qin State. Based on these standing forces, we conduct training. Reform. In this way, our scale has expanded a lot." Shang Wen said.

"En. It's just that, whether the finances can survive, you know, the current financial pressure is very large, I believe that the size of Qin's troops is now recruiting one million troops, which will put a lot of pressure on Qin. But it's definitely not the kind of hard work." Wang Jian said confidently.

"Yes. We are just expanding our standing forces. But don’t forget. Soldiers are all mobile. Over time, there will be a large number of soldiers, and new soldiers will arrive. We only need to feed a certain number of veterans. A large number of troops have been gathered in a short time." Shang Wen said.

"The longer the time, the more troops Qin can recruit?" King Qin thought about it.

"Yes. King." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"In this way, it is a simple matter for Qin State to have a million masters in an extreme time." Wang Jian said in surprise.

"Yes. Qin's standing forces can also be expanded to about 300,000 to 500,000." Shang Wen said. This is a preliminary calculation of Shangwen.

"There are not too many people." King Qin became worried when he heard about 300,000 to 500,000, according to the standards of soldiers of the Qin army. The financial pressure is still very large.

"My lord, not many. Qin has a vast territory. If these forces are distributed, there won't be much." Shang Wen said.

"As for finances, Qin's military strength has increased a little bit, and Qin will also carry out large-scale economic reforms later. In terms of financial pressure, I am afraid it is not too great." Shang Wen said.

"Well, it's so good." King Qin nodded.

"The Qin soldiers have all years of service. They are all within the time range of at least two to three years. After they retire, they temporarily enter the reserve and then the militia. But these are not enough to reserve an elite force for Qin. They are. At most, it can be regarded as a regular force." Shang Wen said.

"Even if it is organized, it is difficult to play a big role in the battlefield. Therefore, we still need a commercial arm." Shang Wen said.

"The current strategic posture of the Qin Army is an active defensive strategic posture. That is to say, the Qin nation is in a strategic defensive state as a whole, but on the specific battlefield, we are not simply defensive. In certain areas, we can take the initiative and take the initiative. Some tactical offensive moves achieve strategic goals." Shang Wen said.

"But helpless, the strategic posture is still defensive." Shang Wen said. Wang Jian nodded. This is where Wang Jian is most helpless at present. many things. Wang Jian wanted to do it, but unfortunately, Qin's finances did not have such a large capacity, which had to put Qin into a state of strategic defense.

"But the Qin State still has a lot of influence to expand outward, but the military strength of the Qin Army can't keep up in a short time, even if it does. Qin's financial pressure is huge, and this has become an endless loop. , We might as well throw this endless loop to the merchants to solve. War, commercialize, let the merchants expand outside of the Qin's absolute strategic defense circle. Taking this opportunity, the Qin army conducts large-scale military reforms and enhances its military strength. At the same time, the State of Qin adopted a series of methods to absorb and digest the places developed by the merchants as our territory of the State of Qin." Shang Wen said.

"This method sounds good. It is the promotion of the previous trading company." Qin Wang nodded and said.

"Talk about specific ideas. I want to hear something practical." King Qin said with interest.

"Your Majesty, let the minister come. Let the prime minister take a break, if it's not right, the prime minister can point to the side and add it." Meng Yi said.
