The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"It seems that we have a battle to fight. This Nation of Peace, I have long been unpleasant to see. If it were not for our large defense, I must have drawn out two cavalry regiments to fight against him." Wang Ben said excitedly. To.

"It's all right now. He took the initiative to send it to the door." Wang Ben said.

"Sir, I think this matter may not be something that we can send troops to solve." The chief of staff thought for a while and said.

"Why?" Wang Ben asked.

"There are commercial matters, commerce, and commercial taxes are mentioned here. Although it has a lot to do with the military, don’t forget. To open the market, this is a business for businessmen. We can only assist. This is possible. It is decided that we cannot send large-scale troops. Sometimes, it is impossible to directly participate in the war." The Chief of Staff said.

According to the question to the Yueshi people. They knew one thing, that is, the Anxi Kingdom had noticed the movements of the Yueshi people, and they had obtained Qin products from the Yueshi people that they had never seen before. Qin products can bring great economic profits. Therefore, the State of Parthianism increased its offensive against the Yue people, or increased their commercial taxes, and robbed each other’s property, even though the Yue people were also equipped with Qin production. However, they did not meet their own tactical requirements in terms of use. Therefore, the people of the Yue family were constantly defeated and compressed, and then they couldn't bear it, and they had to turn to the people of the Qin country for help.

"What do you mean?" Wang Ben wanted to ask after thinking about it.

"If you can avoid sending troops, especially if Qin does not need to send a single soldier, this is the best result, and it can open up the market. I think this is the most powerful place." said the chief of staff.

"In other words, the Ministry of National Defense of Qin State may choose to do this. After all, the cost of doing so is the least." said the Chief of Staff.

"Oh." When Wang Ben heard this, he felt a little disappointed, and finally there was a battle to be fought. However, according to the above meaning, the Qin army may not send troops on a large scale, so that he will not have the opportunity to go on an expedition. Wang Ben felt a little disappointed.

"It's better to report this matter to the above. This is no longer something we can suppress." The Chief of Staff said.

"Yeah." Wang Ben nodded. Then he signaled the Chief of Staff to draft a report and sent it to Xianyang.

Yandu. Inside the court of Prince Dan.

"Qin State's request is not excessive." The Minister of Finance said.

"And what is said is also a fact. Countries are currently actively developing, even Zhao Guo is also developing. I heard that they are going to build railways recently. There is a lot of uproar in Handan. However, we have invested a large amount of fiscal revenue in North Korea. During the war, the Goguryeo tribe in the northeast launched guerrilla operations with us. Although they were constantly defeated, our logistical pressure was unbearable. If this continues, we cannot bear it and should leave the area as soon as possible." The Minister of Finance said to the prince. Dan suggested.

"Yeah." Prince Dan nodded.

"What you said is very reasonable, but now, it is difficult to make sense of this matter. The finances will soon be exhausted. If no measures are taken, I am afraid that Yan Guo will have a big problem." Prince Dan said.

"His Royal Highness, we should make a decision early, and we must never go on like this." The Finance Minister said anxiously.

"Commercial tax has severely affected the interests of businessmen, and the taxation has already left Yan people in a state of starvation. Although we avoided it on purpose, the tax collectors imposed it forcibly. Yan's grain was mainly imported by merchants. If there is no train transportation, I am afraid that the people of Yan will be starved to death." The Minister of Finance said.

"It can't go on like this. It can't," said the Minister of Finance.

Prince Dan frowned. He felt that this matter might not be so serious.

Yandu street.

"Hurry up, collect taxes," a tax collector shouted. An old-fashioned musket is slung around his waist. This musket is still a flintlock. This type of musket is very cheap and belongs to the early model musket. This is the retired goods of Yan Jun. Because they couldn't get a good price, the Yan Guoren equipped them with the taxation department. The tax collector changed the history of carrying a knife to this outfit with a gun. But this kind of musket can't scare the big family and the rich, but it's useful for ordinary people.

"Didn't it happen an hour ago?" An old charcoal seller asked in a low voice.

"You were eating a piece of hard cake an hour ago. At some point, you won't eat it?" the tax collector asked impatiently.

"Stop talking nonsense, get the money. Hurry up." The tax collector stretched out his hand impatiently.

"But, my lord, I have no money." The old man said embarrassedly.

"Really. Look at this charcoal, I haven't sold it for a day. It really doesn't work. This morning, I still gave you my meal money." The old man said embarrassingly. The old man sells charcoal, which is very smokey. Because of the railway, the people of Yan people generally use coal transported from Zhao country. The big families used briquettes, and the nobles had heating equipment in their homes, but few, and even the Prince Dan's residence of the Kingdom of Yan didn't have the money to install them. This charcoal can only be sold by poor people, but there is not much difference between charcoal and coal. Charcoal is mainly cheap and has the advantage of low transportation costs. However, selling charcoal does not make much money, because the person who buys it does not have it. How much money, so the old man can't make money in Yan, and charcoal can't be sold.

"No matter. This is the tax paid by Yan Guo." The tax collector said with a thumbs up.

"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, and bring it." The tax collector called out loudly at this time.

"But, I, I really have no money." The old man said embarrassingly.

"You are such an old and immortal thing." As he said, the tax collector kicked a basket of charcoal to the ground.

"You old man, arrest you for hard labor." The tax collector was about to arrest the old man. Charcoal is a thing like charcoal, and the tax collectors don’t like it. It’s so smokey and choking. When I see that the old man’s charcoal is burned at his own home, it’s definitely not useful. In order to complete his task, the tax collector can only grab the other person and lock it up. , And then send him to the engineering project, maybe you can make a little money, subsidize the tax, and you can get a sum of the said past expenses. That's how the tax collector thought. He said he was going to catch the old man.

"I have no money, don't catch me." The old man pleaded. But it's useless at all. The tax collector still got his hands dirty and didn't care at all. This was the case with him anyway. Many people do this.

"Hey, this person's." The people next to each other pointed and pointed, but none of them got started. They were scared. They were all doing small business. When encountering such things, they could only give them a little money. If you say the past, you say the past. I can only do this myself.

"Damn, you old man. I'm getting bored with life." The old man struggled and didn't want to go.

Talking about the tax collector, he took out his musket and pointed it at the old man's head.

"Tell you, old man, you'd better follow me, or I will make a hole in your head to make your brain pop out." The tax collector said impatiently.

"But, this." The old man was a little scared. He knew how powerful a musket was, once he was hit. There is no chance of survival at all.

"Sigh." The old man sighed.

"Boom." The tax collector shot the opponent with a gun.

"Stop **** nonsense. Hurry up." The tax collector cursed. However, a hole was punched in the old man's head, and blood kept flowing out. The people next to him saw it one after another, just shaking their heads constantly, it felt terrible, but no one came to speak.

"Damn it." At this moment, a stout middle-aged man kicked towards the tax collector. The tax collector was kicked to the ground all at once.

"Are you **** human, don't you have parents?" the middle-aged man scolded angrily.

"It's not a thing, a beast, a beast. I will kill you a beast." The middle-aged man scolded and kicked the tax collector's chest.

"Come on. Beat this beast and kill him." Some angry Yan people saw the tax collector being knocked to the ground, and then stepped forward to give vent to their dissatisfaction. They were dissatisfied with the tax collector. . They continue to provoke trouble, take the opportunity to blackmail, and the people of Yan people complain, they dare not speak, and when someone comes forward, they are naturally willing to go up and kick in order to balance the unevenness of their inner world.

"Fight. Fight." More and more Yan people went up, and they kept kicking each other.

"We are opposed to illegal taxation." At this time, a scholar-like person called out loudly.

"I oppose illegal taxation. Resist illegal taxation." The scholar shouted.

"Yes. Against taxation." The man who took the lead shouted loudly at this time.

"Against illegal taxation." Reading once again chanted.

"I oppose extraordinary taxation." Yan people next to them shouted one after another. When the scholar saw that man knock down the tax collector, the Yan people next to him also went up and kicked, but if they continued like this, they would be beaten to death. At that time, I’m afraid they would send an army to suppress it. Everyone is unfavorable. In order to help everyone, the scholar yelled out such a sentence. At first, the people around didn’t understand it, but at that time people quickly woke up. They killed the tax collector. This was to decapitate. In order to avoid being decapitated, they can only use this slogan.

In fact, scholars are also trying to help themselves, because these tax collectors are so bold that they are also taxed. This naturally arouses their dissatisfaction, and it is within a reasonable range to make such a move.

"We are opposed to illegal taxation. We are opposed to illegal taxation." More and more people shouted loudly, and people began to gather together.

"Go, let's go to His Royal Highness, let him be the master for us. Go." After speaking, everyone gathered and moved towards the Prince Dan's residence. They yelled loudly as they walked. People along the way didn't understand what was going on. But the phrase "against illegal taxation" suddenly made everyone understand. Isn’t that what they want? Yan’s taxation is heavier than Zhao’s. Many of them are dissatisfied. The long-term repression has made many of them understand that they now want to oppose such unreasonable taxation and such levy. Taxes are very unfair to them. Therefore, many people oppose such illegal taxation.

"We are opposed to illegal taxation. We are opposed to illegal taxation." More and more people joined in. They raised their arms and shouted, their expressions were unusually excited.

"Damn it, this is a rebellion." An officer who maintained public order cursed, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to intercept it. Because of fear.

"The country of Yan is about to turn back." The officer cursed, and then organized his men to stop the opposing crowd. But there were too many opponents and things happened too suddenly, which made it difficult for them to deal with, and where the crowd went, they also I don't know, they can't shoot, because there are many crowds, and once a huge gangster appears, their heads are not enough to cut.

"I oppose illegal taxation, oppose illegal taxation." Everyone shouted. More and more people feel that what they are saying makes sense. They continue to join in, and more and more people participate in it. Then continue to join in.

"Where are they going?" An official said worriedly. Seeing more and more people, he felt that he was worried to death because they had too few manpower. It simply cannot be exhaustive.

"This. Not good." At this moment, an official reacted.

"They may want to go to the Prince's Mansion. Quickly. Stop them." Said that the officials hurriedly prepared to intercept them, but it was too late. The crowd has reached the Prince's Mansion.

"We oppose illegal taxation and illegal taxation." At the gate of the Prince's House, more and more people opposed it. They are very dissatisfied with the tax collected by Yan State, but they can only use this way to oppose it.

"What's the matter outside?" Prince Dan asked at this time.

"This, this." The official standing aside looked at each other embarrassedly.

"Well, the people outside let us." The official on the side looked at the princeling in embarrassment. The Minister of Finance on the side heard the voice from outside.

"Prince, I think we are still." At this time, the Minister of Finance said in a low voice.

"I see." Prince Dan also heard what the objection was shouting.

"I oppose illegal taxation." Prince Dan said.

"Yes, Prince, it seems that things have developed beyond our expectations." The Minister of Finance said solemnly. The Minister of Finance hopes that such a thing will happen, because such excessive taxation is very bad for Yan's development. The Minister of Finance knows this, but Yan Guo has been unable to respond for a long time. This will cause a great shadow of Yan Guo's future development prospects. And it is not conducive to further development. If this matter can change the current taxation situation of Yan Guo, this is a very important matter for him.

"Prince. Yan's affairs must be changed. If this goes on, I, Yan, can't go far enough. I can't get out of the previous predicament at all." The Minister of Finance continued to suggest.

"Yeah." Prince Dan walked back and forth thinking.

"Carry out the outside affairs first." Prince Dan thought for a while and wanted to say.

Qin State Longxi. Shangwen's first stop in the campaign.

"Today's weather is very good. Such heat makes our various fur coats useless." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Haha." The people in the audience laughed. Qin people have become richer, and people have high requirements for dressing.

"Oh. I saw a lady who kept shaking her head." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"I think, Madam, you must feel something is missing when you go out today, right?" Shang Wen asked.

"We have money now. We can buy those expensive fur coats, but today’s good weather disappointed everyone. Because the weather is not very good, it’s not cold, and it’s a bit hot. This is a good season. , Spring is coming." Shang Wen smiled and said to everyone.

"Okay. I said some light words." Shang Wen continued.

"We Qin people have a very rich life. There are many commodities that we can afford. Moreover, we are all developing in a better direction for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everyone is full of confidence in life." Shang Wen said to everyone.

"But what I want to say is that we cannot stop. We must pay attention to our current situation. We can see each other. The styles and fabric textures of our clothes are similar to those of Qin State and Xianyang. In some places, they exceed Xianyang. I have to admit this." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Yeah." The people in the audience nodded and said. In their opinion, they are indeed like this. They should be in Longxi, close to the nomadic tribe area, and they can get a lot of high-quality fur from a few tribes. Therefore, in this not too cold early spring, they are willing to show their side.

"This is the side where we have no gap. However, we should see that in some other areas, our conditions are still very poor. This is Longxi County, which belongs to the Qin State Pass. But the infrastructure here is much worse. "Shang Wen said.

"Electricity is only available in a few shops. I see that many families still use oil lamps. The supply of tap water is pretty good." Shang Wen said.

"Basically, we have done this in towns, but have we done this on our farms and pastures?" Shang Wen asked.

"This is still close to the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin State. It should be a developed area with a faster development speed, but what I see is that the situation is not optimistic. Many of our infrastructures are not in place." Shang Wen said.

"I have told Meng Yi more than once that Xianyang is a metropolis with a population of over one million. However, how our town is developing, every household in Xianyang has gas, electricity, tap water, and hospitals have a high penetration rate. In the city There is also a park in the center of the city, but how is the development of our town?" Shang Wen asked.

Shang Wen shook his head.

"The situation is not optimistic enough. Qin needs a lot of development opportunities to do these things." Shang Wen said.

"The development of the Qin State is not an area in Guanzhong. It is the result of the joint development of multiple regions. We in Longxi. We have an important role in connecting and leading to the Western Regions. The Western Regions are the main direction of Qin's development. And Longxi, It is an important transportation channel. I know that here, there are a lot of trains that need to stop here, and then depart one by one to reach the Western Regions. A lot of goods are stored here and sent to the Western Regions of the Qin State." Shang Wen said.

"In addition, various commodities from the Western Regions will make some stops in Longxi, and then further reach Xianyang in the Qin State, and then enter the eastern countries." Shang Wen said.

"The Western Regions have a variety of rich resources waiting for our development. The products produced in Qin are also actively produced and exported to these regions. However, just like this, our Longxi development and infrastructure make us feel a little bit. Unexpectedly, because our development is not very good. I haven't seen a city with perfect infrastructure emerge." Shang Wen said.

"So, how do we develop in the next step?" Shang Wen asked. These are all Longxi people, and they heard that the prime minister is going to campaign here. So they all gathered quickly to listen to Shang Wen's speech. You know, nothing like this has ever happened before.

"I don't know." The people in the audience shook their heads.

"However, I hope that our Longxi can develop like Xianyang." A teenager stood up and said loudly.

"Stupid boy." The people in the audience laughed. They were naive to the young man's thoughts, and they absolutely talked about each other's sleep.

"Yes. We are going to develop into a city like Xianyang. Why Xianyang can develop to such a level, but we can't." Shang Wen asked.

"Therefore, we must develop to such a level. Only in this way can we make our lives better. Xianyang can, and Longxi can also." Shang Wen said.

"In the past few years, the Qin State has continued to expand and focus on development. Xianyang, Guyuan in the north, Beigang, Taiyuan, Shangdang in the south and so on. These are indeed focused on development, and such key development has led to a There are problems, uneven development, and uneven development. Xianyang is a big city with a population of one million, complete living facilities, and convenient travel for people. Recently, in order to solve the travel problem, Xianyang proposed a subway plan." Shang Wen said .

“It’s very difficult for the population to travel because buses can hardly meet the needs of people. The original eight-lane roads can’t meet the needs of the people of Qin. Who is Xianyang, but look at our Longxi, there are only two main roads. But still very Broad," Shang Wen said.

"Haha." Longxi people laughed.

"This is proof that we have not developed enough. This is the uncertainty of our prime minister's policy. Therefore, the next step of development is to give local governments more rights, let them develop freely, allow commercial organizations to participate, and let their Function, to meet our needs, our food, clothing, housing, and transportation, especially our needs. Moreover, the future development of the Western Regions will play a significant role in the development of Longxi." Shangwen said to everyone.

"The development of the Western Regions is a new vocabulary. While developing, it will benefit our Longxi, and our local development will be more balanced in various places along the way. This is very important to us. I don't want to see a development that is very unfavorable. The emergence of a balanced country. This is a goal of Qin's future development." Shang Wen continued.
