The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"What the king said makes sense." The two said.

"Whether you can send troops or not, the widow thinks that it must be rich. Daqin fought wars and got money. I'd better ask the prime minister how it is." King Qin stood up and said.

"Your Majesty." At this moment.Zhao Gao stepped forward cautiously.

"Prime Minister, if you want to see the Deputy Prime Minister," Zhao Gao said.

"Oh." King Qin looked at Zhao Gao.Then he looked at the two people again.

"It's just in time. Please." King Qin said, waving his arms.Zhao Gao backed out cautiously and asked Shang Wen and Meng Yi to discuss the matter.Shang Wen and Meng Yi discussed some relevant details on the road.Shang Wen believes that this series of policies are all interlocking and interrelated. If you look at a certain link separately, they cannot be closely linked.In the end, Shang Wen and Meng Yi decided to report this matter to King Qin first, and then make further plans, or, while implementing it, think clearly about the problem.

However, the two have not clarified their problems.King Qin had already ordered Wei Liao and Wang Jian to tell Shang Wen and Meng Yi about the issues they discussed in detail.

"Oh. I understand." Shang Wen looked at Wei Liao and said.

"Since the prime minister understands, you can talk about it." King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the words of General Wang and Lieutenant Guo are both reasonable, but it is caused by different perspectives. In fact, it is a problem." Shang Wen said at this time.

"A question? How is this a question?" Wang Jian looked at Shang Wen and said.

"General, don't worry. This is indeed a truth. Let me explain it first." Shang Wenyuan first talked about his own affairs.Then I will talk about this matter again, but I saw Wang Jian's anxious expression.Shang Wen decided to settle the matter in front of him.

"The question the general considers is how to fight the war." Shangwen said.

"As for Guowei, the question you think about is how to solve political and military problems. It can be said that from the perspective of the country and the military, the two of you think about the same problem. However, you think about it from different angles, which leads to certain differences. .In fact, this disagreement can be combined into one problem." Shang Wen said to Wang Jian and Wei Liao.

"A question!" the two asked together.

"Wait." Shang Wen stopped and looked at the two people at this moment and said.

"A question." Shangwen froze on the spot, looking up and thinking.

"If this is the case, I can put my problem together." Shangwen said.

"Wait a minute." As Shang Wen said, he took out the notepad that he carried with him, then took out a pencil and began to scribble on the notepad.King Qin, Wang Jian, Wei Liao, Meng Yi, and Zhao Gao looked at Shang Wen.But Naofumi didn't seem to have these people scribbling with a notepad at once.Shangwen kept chanting something in his mouth.King Qin did not understand what kind of thoughts came into Shang Wen's mind after doing these things. m

1737 Another Reformation

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

"It's military expenses, financial issues." Shangwen said while tearing off the things written on the notepad.

"This is a federal issue for the states in the Western Regions." Shang Wen then tore off another note.

"After the federal issue, what we still need to solve is the mobilization ability of the Qin army, 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 issue, we need to set up a trading company, and a city bank to solve the problem of capital operation. These problems can solve the fiscal and taxation of Qin State." Shang Wen said.Then tear off that note.Shangwen put it on the ground.

"On the issue of the six countries, we can do the same," Shangwen said.Then Shangwen tore off another note.put it on the ground.

"However, the general, as well as the issue of the national lieutenant, are concentrated on the military service system, border trade, and city banks." Shang Wen said and tapped between the two notes.

"After the Qin State implemented the federal system, all a series of systems had to be changed. Before, most of our soldiers came from Guanzhong. But now it has changed. We have to concentrate our soldiers on several states, according to the population How many ratios, recruiting soldiers. The way of war is also carried out by trading companies. They recruit their own personnel and fight for money. The spoils they get are their income." Shang Wen said.

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

"Wait. In this way, the army does not belong to those merchants," Wang Jian asked.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Shang Wen waved to Wang Jian.

"I mean, the new mode of war, we can let merchants participate. These merchants can hire those barbarians to fight, or we can hire our own people, or, it can be people from the Sixth Army, As long as they pay, they will come. The booty can be a lot, so that 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 expressed his sensitivity to the vocabulary of military reform. Military reform has advantages, but it also has disadvantages. Qin's first military reform was 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 degree of impact is far less than the first time.What's more, Shangwen cut military expenditures several times in the name of military reform, which made Wang Jian extremely sensitive to military reform.

"No no. This time is different. This time it is mainly to deal with future wars. War weapons are being upgraded, but our way of thinking in combat is still stuck in the age of the flintlock. Many things need to be changed. Need to be adjusted. The impact of the application of technology now It's too fast," Shang Wen said.

"So, we have to change. How the Qin army will develop in the future needs to be stopped. Think about it carefully." Shang Wen said to Wang Jian.

"What the prime minister means is that the state of Qin will carry out another large-scale reform," King Qin carefully studied the note that Shangwen put on the ground after hearing about the military reform.After the military reform, a series of social reforms took place in the society of Qin State. If you look at the combination of military and social reforms, it is the second reform of Qin State since the reform of the Shang Dynasty.After the second reform, the overall strength of Qin State rose very fast.If it weren't for Qin's vast territory and limited military strength, it would be very easy for Qin to unify.Taking all factors into consideration, Qin has already left all countries far behind.After tasting the great rise of Qin's national power after the reform, King Qin has been looking forward to Qin's rise to a higher level.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I originally thought that this was not a major social reform, but after summarizing all the problems just now, I suddenly realized that there may be some kind of connection behind these problems. Therefore, I I feel that this is a reform, and Qin is about to face another reform choice." Shang Wen said to King Qin.

"Change." King Qin said such a word without hesitation after listening.

"Since the Qin State implemented the law of Shangjun, the national power has been in a period of rising. After the emergence of the Qin State, the Qin State's national power has risen to an unprecedented height. Now, our Qin State is facing a period of great reform and change. I fully support you." King Qin said to Shang Wen.

"Thank you, king." Shang Wen thanked King Qin.

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

"The reform of the Qin State is not my business alone, it needs the full support of everyone. Shang Wen thanked you all here." Shang Wen saluted.

"Prime Minister, you are being polite." Wang Jian and Wei Liao said.

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

"I still want to ask the prime minister about the use of minority soldiers. I really can't accept this matter." Wang Jian said worriedly.

"General, there are various ethnic minorities around us, and these ethnic minorities all have different habits. We don't know how many ethnic groups we don't know, but what is certain is that sooner or later we will They are attracted here. Qin must accept them from an open and inclusive perspective. In the future, maybe we will really fight side by side with these people. This will have a lot to do with the military service system implemented by Qin.” Shang Wen said arrive.

"My plan is like this. Now our soldiers in various places are recruited from the Qin State Pass. However, the states, especially the newly emerging states of the Qin State, do not have such a supply of soldiers. This has a great impact on the war potential of the Qin State. If the Qin State implements the federal system, it can set up conscription stations on this basis to provide Qin State with a wider range of soldiers. Then, according to the number of recruits in these states, a certain establishment will be given, and then through After a certain amount of training, they are the standing troops of our Qin State. Based on these standing troops, we conduct training and reform. In this way, our scale has expanded a lot." Shang Wen said.

"En. Just like this, can the finances survive? You know, the current financial pressure is very high. I believe that the size of Qin's troops is now recruiting an army of 100 million. This will put a lot of pressure on Qin, but It's definitely not a very strenuous one." Wang Jian said confidently.

"Yes. We are just expanding the standing force. But don't forget. Soldiers are mobile. As time goes by, a large number of soldiers will pass and new soldiers will arrive. We only need to feed a certain number of veterans to be able to A large number of troops have been gathered in a short period of time," Shang Wen said.

"The longer the time, the more troops Qin can recruit," King Qin said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"In this way, it becomes a simple matter for Qin to have a million soldiers in an extremely short period of time." Wang Jian said in surprise.

"Yes. Qin's standing troops can also be expanded to about 30 to 50." Shang Wen said.This is Shangwen's preliminary calculation.

"There are not too many people." Hearing about 30 to 50, King Qin became worried, according to the standards of Qin soldiers.The pressure on finances is still very high.

"Your Majesty, not many. The Qin State has a vast territory. If these troops are distributed, there will not be many." Shang Wen said.

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

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

"And Qin's soldiers have a limited number of years of service. At least within the time frame of two to three years. After they retire, they temporarily enter the reserve service, and then the militia. But these are not enough to reserve an elite army for Qin. They At most, it is a regular army." Shangwen said.

"Even if it is compiled, it will be difficult to play a big role in the battlefield. Therefore, we still need a commercial armed force." Shang Wen said.

"The current strategic posture of the Qin army is an active defensive strategic posture. That is to say, Qin is in a state of strategic defense as a whole, but on specific battlefields, we are not purely defensive. In some areas, we can take the initiative and take the initiative. Some tactical offensive actions achieve strategic goals." Shang Wen said.
