The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Sir, are we waiting for reinforcements to launch an offensive?" a second lieutenant officer said worriedly.

"We don't have enough ships, and the supplies are not enough. The soldiers rushed to attack as soon as they arrived here. This is true. If we fail, the situation will be very unfavorable for us." The ensign officer said to Jingmen.

"Regardless of these, the Mengla people are unprepared. We can launch an offensive. If necessary, we can retreat after the offensive. In this way, immediately prepare to launch an offensive." Jingmen said to the ensign officer.

"This. It's the sir." Seeing Jingmen's serious face. The second lieutenant could only obey. After returning from reconnaissance, Jingmen decided to immediately adopt a bold offensive strategy. His plan is that if a stable landing field can be established, this is the best, because there will be a large number of reinforcements arriving later, only with Only with a suitable landing site can reinforcements continue to arrive.

Soon, this Chu army with only more than two hundred men launched their landing operations. The landing was very successful, because there were no Menglais on the shore.

"Go over there and take a look and strengthen your alert." There was some tension after Jingmen landed, but the shore was too quiet. The Mengla people appeared at all.

"Damn it. Where have these Mengla people gone?" Jingmen said nervously after landing with the first group of soldiers. After all, this was the first time the Chu State Marine Corps fought.

The soldiers in the first row were lying on the ground with their muskets in their hands and aiming everywhere, but they had no target at all.

"Go. Catch a prisoner and come back." Jingmen said to a sergeant next to him at this time.

"Yes. Sir." The sergeant left here with two people.

"Strengthen defense, strengthen defense." Jingmen shouted loudly. He decided to build their landing field here, because of the lack of artillery, they could not launch a large-scale attack.

"Damn it. It's too hot here." Because it's winter. The climate here looks very muggy. This made Chu's soldiers a little uncomfortable.

"Sir. The second group has already started landing." A private soldier reported.

"Let them come up." Jingmen waved and said. Speaking of which he found a stone to sit down, he wanted to take a break and ease the tension. He didn't know anything here, and the situation was extremely dull for him.

"Sir, sir, we only caught such a person." The sergeant who was the first to go out grabbed a thin man and said.

"Ask him, where have all the Mengla people gone?" Jingmen asked.

But everyone around looked at Jingmen.

"What's the matter?" Jingmen asked loudly.

"Sir, none of us speak the local language. The translator was among the last troops to land, and we can only understand the situation after waiting." A corporal explained.

"Damn it." Jingmen cursed. But they had no alternative. They could only wait for some of the Chu people who knew the local language to land to know the situation.

With the landing of the last batch of troops, Jingmen also learned the local people's ideas. It was learned from the thin captive that the Mengla army had retreated. They didn't mean to send troops to stand there. Not only that, the locals of Mengla people seem to be unwilling to come here, and many people are unwilling to fight. This made Jingmen feel very aggrieved, because all of what they did seemed very funny.

Qin State. Xianyang.

"Taxation is to transfer industries, factories, and trading companies to provide Qin with a wealth of tax revenue, and Qin's national tax is low, which seems to run counter to these." Shang Wen was in the meeting room, talking to the coming Guanzhong enterprises. The family made publicity and explained what the prime minister's house would impose taxes.

"However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the products produced by the factory are under-sale or under-selling. There is no problem with our products, just because of sluggish demand." Shang Wen said.

"With the end of winter, the arrival of spring will enable Qin State Enterprise to launch a larger-scale corporate sales model. None of these problems seem to be a problem," Shang Wen said.

"But we are facing another problem, cost, that is, how much benefit we have. The scale of the factory is increasing, and the need for raw materials is very large. The number is astonishing, and we can produce a large number of products in a day. It is undeniable that this is technological progress, but there is another point that we must pay attention to. That is, our situation is not optimistic." Shang Wen said.

"Guanzhong is densely populated, but the cost of labor is also rising. There are factories in all countries, and cheap labor is unlikely to be concentrated in the Guanzhong area. As a result, our labor costs are rising. At the same time, even though we have rail transportation, The mining of minerals in the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin State is prohibited. With the addition of transportation costs, the minerals in further places are cheaper. However, if the transportation costs are added, this is very uneconomical. This is definitely not good news for us. Hope to get more opportunities, and such opportunities exist in more regions. You must know that development is uneven." Shang Wen said.

"I don't understand the meaning of what the prime minister said. Can you tell us more clearly?" An entrepreneur stood up and asked Shangwen. He didn't seem to understand Shang Wen's meaning.

"Well, I can explain. First, our labor costs are rising very fast, mainly because our education level is very high, and the low-tech jobs are not suitable for Qin Guoguanzhong." Shang Wen said.

"The second is the price of raw materials. In farther places, the price of raw materials is very cheap. For example, in terms of copper prices, the price of copper in the Guanzhong area may exceed three gold per stone. However, if it is in the Western Regions, this price It will be very cheap, less than one and a half gold, and there are also a variety of raw materials that are cheaper, such as coal, manganese ore, zinc ore, etc. These prices are much lower than the Guanzhong area. The last one is, The development of the Qin State is uneven. The Guanzhong region has developed very fast, while the Western Regions and the northern regions are very slow, and some areas are still in a relatively backward state. This kind of development is not good for the Qin State. If so, why do we If you don't move companies out, you can move to regions with geographical advantages, market advantages, and transportation advantages. The problem of labor can quickly solve these problems." Shang Wen said.

"What the Prime Minister said is very reasonable," the entrepreneurs said.

"Of course. This also requires the help of banks, investment companies, and various financial services, but in terms of taxation, Qin State taxed companies that have no advantages. If they can complete the migration, I think, In the local state governments, they still have a great tax advantage. I think this is the most suitable way of migration." Shang Wen said.

Many entrepreneurs nodded in agreement. But Meng Yi frowned, because if a large number of enterprises were relocated, the State of Qin could certainly complete local development, but how to deal with taxation and infrastructure construction funds. Shangwen's taxation plan seems to be able to solve some of the problems, but in fact it is still a tax reduction plan. Qin still does not have a stable group that can provide sufficient fiscal revenue for Qin. This made Meng Yi very anxious about Shang Wen's ideas.

Although Shangwen’s explanation is very easy to understand, the financial problem has not been resolved. Qin cannot obtain sufficient funds through mortgage bonds. Then, what other method can be used to obtain sufficient funds? Meng Yi didn't know, because Shangwen still used the current taxation plan as a kind of encouragement tax plan, but it used a punitive nature.

Chu State. Pengcheng.

"The construction of Haicheng still needs a lot of things to do. At the very least, we need to build a section of railway from Pengcheng to the seaside port, and then use this section of the railway to transport materials to the seaside port, and then to Haicheng to further develop trade." Chen Ping hurried back to give a report to Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng considered the Haicheng report to be feasible and agreed to build it.

But when Chen Ping came back, he believed that Chu State had the conditions and ability to further develop port cities, that is to say, along the Yellow Sea directly upwards, Chu could build a series of port cities, or further along the Yangtze River. Build big city points. The existence of these cities can effectively absorb the resources in Chu State, and then further allocate resources through trade.

"Your idea is good, but the funding problem is very difficult. The government can't come up with such a large amount of funds. The most difficult thing is that the funds in the hands of the nobles are also flowing. We have no way at all." Fan Zeng is difficult. Speaking of.

"Furthermore, the stock market solution you mentioned still has risks. The government is currently on the way to war. We need trade or even greater returns to solve the problems in our hands." Fan Zeng said.

"Prime Minister, we have no problem at all on this point. We can wait patiently. Five years will not work, ten years will not work, ten years will not work, and fifteen years. In short, we can solve the problem, but the biggest problem now is that we need to flow. In other words, we need to start trade and obtain tax revenue. Only in this way can we further solve the current fiscal and tax dilemma." Chen Ping said.

"The nobility has already dispersed. What kind of power is still not mobilized?" Fan Zeng asked.

"Businessmen, business taxation. If we encourage trade, we can get more taxation." Chen Ping said.

"There are so many merchants near Haicheng. They have been doing overseas business. Tea, silk, and sugar are all doing business. We have a large area of ​​land. If dumping to Bangladesh, all the problems It can be solved." Chen Ping said.
