The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"En. From the point of view of my personal feeling, Qin should settle it on the land of these countries." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Land?" Meng Yi asked.But then he understood.Qin State entered the era of industrialization only after solving agricultural problems.This is a process issue.

"To solve the land problem is to interrupt the economic source of the nobles' land, so that they have to enter into commercial competition." Shang Wen told Meng Yi one of his ideas.

"En. This idea is very bold, but how to gather the land in the hands of the nobles and treat it as assets. This is a problem." Meng Yi frowned and told Shang Wen that this problem is difficult to solve.Because the main source of income for the nobles is land, interrupting the land income of the nobles is definitely a threat to the nobles.

"If it is not handled well, the enthusiasm of those nobles will come to a standstill, which is not good for us." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"This matter has to be dealt with properly. In addition, we can relax the technology blockade conditionally." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"This is what we considered at the beginning." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Which areas do we plan to relax?" Meng Yi asked.

"The first is the steam engine." Shangwen said.

"Steam engines can provide a lot of power. It is not realistic enough to use electricity at present. The first thing we need to popularize is coal." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"En." Meng Yi recorded this in his notebook.

"With the steam engine, it can only be used in light industry. It should be adjusted in heavy industry." Meng Yi continued.

"The steam engine can drive the water pump. The other thing is coking." Meng Yi said.

"Zhao State has a lot of coal. It is high-quality coal, which can be made into coke, and then provided to us for iron and steel." Meng Yi said.

"If necessary, we can set up an iron smelting plant in Zhao Guo. Once the railway starts construction, a large amount of steel rails will be needed. The demand for steel is astonishing." Shang Wen said.

"Yes. There is also cement. These, I think, can be done." Meng Yi said.

"En. Yes." Shangwen nodded.Shang Wen and Meng Yi began to carefully check some projects in the technical field.

Zhao State Handan.

"Qin's federal system has been finalized. However, Zhao's situation is not very good." Li Mu said to the cabinet members.

"The State of Zhao will cut a lot of unreasonable taxes this year. Therefore, the fiscal revenue will be greatly reduced." Li Mu said to his cabinet members.

"Although we have a loan from the State of Qin this year, the loan cannot solve major problems. At present, the taxation of the State of Zhao must be kept at a low level. The low tax rate can only expand the source of income. We cannot forcefully increase the tax." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"En." Everyone nodded.

"General." A cabinet member said at this time.

"Prime Minister." Li Mu corrected.Li Mu's cabinet members are all from the military.It was difficult for Li Mu to use it because he did not know whether the selected civil servants would be competent.Zhao Guo needs to solve the problem in extreme time.Therefore, Li Mu needs his own people to participate in time.

"Yes, Prime Minister. If Zhao Guo wants to increase taxes, it is very simple. It is to increase taxes to those nobles. Those nobles and lords do not pay taxes. As long as they pay taxes, this financial problem can be solved." The cabinet said the member.This cabinet member was originally Sima in Li Mu's army. Because of his management skills, Li Mu was transferred to the prime minister's office.Served as finance minister.The Minister of Finance will face huge financial difficulties when he takes office. On the one hand, Zhao Guo wants to solve this financial difficulty.On the other hand.Zhao Guo needs a lot of money to build it.This is for Zhao Guo.It's just too difficult.

Therefore, the first method of the Minister of Finance is to target the nobles of Zhao, as long as the nobles pay taxes.They can easily solve this problem.

"No." Li Mu replied.

"Why?" cried the Minister of Finance.

"Why?" Li Mu asked.

"These nobles are here, and the country of Zhao is not in chaos. If the nobles become chaotic." Li Mu said.

"The whole country of Zhao will be in chaos. This is impossible." Li Mu said.

"In this case, there is no way." The Minister of Finance said.

"En." Li Mu nodded.

"People don't want to be suffocated. There will always be a solution." Li Mu said to everyone.

"General." Sima Shang cried bitterly.

"Oh yes. Prime Minister." Sima Shang said to Li Mu.

"These aristocrats can't move. They can't collect taxes. This matter is difficult." Sima Shang said.

"Prime Minister." At this moment, Li Zuoche came in softly.

"What's the matter?" Li Mu asked.

"Prime Minister, look at this." Li Zuoche handed a telegram to Li Mu.

"City Bank." Li Mu muttered while looking at the telegram.

"Yes." Li Zuoche said.

"This is what a Zhao country businessman heard from a Qin country industrial and commercial entrepreneur." Li Zuoche said.

"The purpose of this city bank is to gather the money of the local wealthy people and then concentrate on lending, so as to solve the capital problem in a concentrated way." Li Zuoche said.

"This city bank can also introduce the capital of Qin State, so that the merchants of our Zhao State can do more business." Li Zuoche said.

"En." Li Mu nodded.

"What's so good about this city bank." At this moment, the Minister of Finance stood up and shouted loudly.

"How much money does this city bank make, and can it pay taxes?" said the Minister of Finance.

"Yes. These are joint ventures of Qin people. Do you know?" Li Zuoche said unconvinced.

"In Qin State, doing banking business is the most profitable." Li Zuoche said unconvinced.

"Most profitable?" Minister of Finance.

"I haven't seen how much money it is." The Minister of Finance said unconvinced.

"You." Li Zuoche said unconvinced.

"Wait. What did you say?" Li Mu asked Li Zuoche at this time.

"I said. City Bank." Li Zuoche replied.

"No. Not this sentence." Li Mu asked.

"Oh. I said. It's the banking business, which is the most profitable business." Li Zuoche said.

"Yes, that's the sentence." Li Mu said.

"If we can attract the nobles' money here, it will be on the city bank." Li Mu said.

"Think about it. If you want to set up a bank, yes, you can collect taxes. And the bank is the most profitable business. The money comes in faster. This is faster than those nobles. Don't these nobles participate? As for paying taxes. They I will definitely earn more than this, so I am naturally willing to do it," Li Mu said.
