Chapter 1005: Cut military spending

"We will not care too much about another explanation, that is, liberalism, we should not have too much jurisdiction over the market. We should not intervene in the market and let the market develop freely. At present, it is of great help to us. "Shang Wen said.

"Liberalism. Wouldn't Qin's laws interfere with us?" The people in the audience began to discuss.

"If the government has too much jurisdiction, it will be very detrimental to us." Shang Wen said.

"So, Prime Minister, what is the government's responsibility. Is it just that?" A scholar asked.

"It is not to let it go, but to hand over the leadership to the market and let the market do what they should do. The government only needs to do its own responsibilities. The rest, those behaviors that interfere excessively in the market will seriously interfere. The implementation of liberalism, liberalism, is an important reason for Qin's current prosperity." Shang Wen said with a strong gesture waving his arm.

"Wow." The people in the audience kept talking.

"This is an important reason for Qin's prosperity." Some people asked rhetorically.

"I'm afraid it's also right. The current situation in Qin is not what the Prime Minister did. I am afraid that what the Prime Minister said is based on his own will. I think it is possible." A scholar agreed.

"But, will the king agree with this view? You know, we have been inseparable from the law since the Shang prince. Now, this liberalism, we are afraid that we will have to get up." At this time, an old man asked Up my own opinion.

"This, there is some truth to it." The others nodded.

"Quiet. Everyone quietly." Shang Wen waved his hand, then continued his topic.

"Qin’s law still needs it. It is precisely because of liberalism that a more stable legal environment is needed. Qin’s legal system will not be slack, but must be slack, but the management of people and the redefinition of economic activities. The government no longer dominates the entire market, the market will dominate itself. The right to freedom is in the hands of the market." Shang Wen said.

"The legal environment will not change." Shangwen made a promise. The more free the market environment, the more developed the law is. At the same time, the credibility of this society will be higher. Shangwen is improving such a social system. Then provide a good environment for the market environment.

"The next thing Qin has to do is to further improve this system in terms of legal terms and bring better opportunities for free competition in the market." Shang Wen said.

"In addition to these, Qin’s financial funds, the next key focus of the other party is Qin’s infrastructure construction, as well as education. Military expenses need to be further reduced. Enterprises should focus on more civilian commodities and reduce the burden on the state’s finances. Dependence. They need to feed themselves.” Shang Wen further pointed out here that Qin’s military industry enterprises should switch to civilian commodities too much, and at least they should be out of the scope of the government’s fiscal budget. Only in this way can Qin’s enterprises truly survive. Only the market plays a major role, so the only way for Qin's enterprises to achieve transformation is to cut military expenditures on a large scale, and at the same time, let military enterprises find a market to achieve separation from the state's finances.

In this way, Qin's financial situation can be further improved. The government has the ability to transfer limited funds to more infrastructure. Qin's current development is still unbalanced. This is the problem Shangwen most needs to solve. But these problems require the government to rely on financial strength to complete.

Shang Wen's purpose is very simple. It is to let Qin self-eliminate all hidden dangers brought by development. In Shang Wen's view. There are many problems in the development of seagulls in the Qin State. Despite the rapid development, there are still many problems. Shangwen believes that only by solving these problems can reunification be achieved. Moreover, reunification is not the use of war, but a peaceful method to reunify. This peaceful method is to increase Qin's influence. To improve Qin's influence, it is necessary to develop Qin itself well.

The current financial situation of Qin State still plays a very important role in it. This role is that Qin State relies on the power of war to promote its own economic development. In this way, Qin's financial situation only needs to deteriorate. Qin's influence will decline. The issue of war is a very contradictory issue. No one can guarantee that profits will be made in every war. Moreover, war is a serious contradiction. He needs money and can generate money at the same time. Just like the British Empire, it is not profitable in every war. The final situation is the decline of the empire due to the deterioration of the financial situation. Shang Wen didn't want to do this. Therefore, he hopes that the market will be able to complete its own operations, so that the government can separate the main financial funds from it. The war purely becomes a business profit model. This is a strategic model of sustainable development.

But Shang Wen was thinking too long. Many people still cannot understand this surreal idea.

But Shang Wen is doing this. He needs to turn this idea into reality to think. Therefore, he needs someone to support and express his ideas. Let more people understand and understand. Know what you want.

"Qin's future needs education. Now, Qin needs to put money for weapons on education. That is Qin's future. The future is very important, and today's decisions will be reflected in the future. Therefore, we must take the long-term goal. Plan." Shang Wen said at last.

In the end, people seemed to understand. But he didn't seem to understand what Shang Wen was talking about. What does he mean specifically. None of this is known.

Qin is undergoing a change in the country. This change is to begin with Shangwen's speech. Qin wants to get rid of this method of relying on war as a stimulus. Instead, look for a way to self-stimulate and stimulate domestic demand. Qin's development model needs to be readjusted. Shang Wen has such an idea. Qin must have reached this time.

However, for the reform of the Qin State, the military is obviously making another plan.

"Everyone has heard about it recently. Qin wants a new round of military expenditure reduction plan." Wang Jian said at the military meeting of the staff.

"This is a proposal sent by the prime minister. Although it is a proposal, the meaning is already very obvious. Qin State is going to cut huge military expenditure again this time." Wang Jian said.

"This year, Qin will no longer have large-scale military operations. Military equipment will only be updated in a small amount, and Qin's military enterprises will also be forced to switch to some civilian enterprises. This year, the life of the army will be difficult. "As the chief of Qin's general staff, Wang Jian will have important responsibilities in planning.

"Isn't the prime minister's economic policy driven by war? Why, we can't fight another big war. Let's go to war. In this way, the prime minister doesn't want to do it, but has to do it." At this time, the Chief of the Army's First Staff Division Stand up and speak loudly. The chief of the Army’s First Staff Department is mainly responsible for the Army’s planning plan. In other words, their important responsibilities are analysis, interpretation, and plan formulation. This is a part that requires a very strong overall quality and can serve in such a part. , The qualifications required are very high.

"You can take a look. In this proposal, the prime minister has clearly told us that he will not pay high war costs for any future war. Qin needs to rectify the financial system. In many marginal areas, Qin's Bonds are circulated as paper money there. Not only that, Qin’s bond issuance is already very large. Qin needs to recover part of the bonds to maintain his credit. Only in this way can Qin maintain its current prestige status, Qin China’s bonds can continue to be issued. If this is not done, then Qin will face important crises again and again in the future.” Wang Jian said with the suggestion.

"Economic issues, whatever matters to us. Why do we need to cut military expenditure? This is basically two things." The Army Chief of Staff objected first. He expressed his opinion dissatisfied. The army is very large. The amount of military expenditure required is huge. Moreover, the current foreign wars, especially the northern slave riots that have just been quelled. The army's mobilization of troops is the most important thing. Because most of the war still takes place on the ground.

"Our Celestial Army cannot cut military expenses either. Our weapons, equipment, and personnel maintenance, especially pilots, require a large amount of military expenses to maintain. Without these, our Celestial Army would not be able to operate at all." The Celestial Army also took the initiative at this time. Complained. Everyone knows the situation of the Celestial Army. Although their numbers are small, they are more technical. In addition, it is a new service, so they deserve some attention. Although they participated in fewer wars. Because of the constraints of weather conditions, the space forces rarely actively engage in foreign operations, and most of them are the army.

"Then we have nothing to say." At this time, the Chief of Naval Staff didn't say anything. For him, he couldn't say anything. Because the cost of the Navy is even more alarming. Moreover, the fact that the armed merchants of the Qin State were attacked by the Chu navy has not yet been raised. Although the armed merchant ships belong to the reserve forces of the Qin State and are not regular forces, they are after all the reserve forces of the Qin State and armed merchant ships. , In wartime conditions, armed merchant ships are under the jurisdiction of the navy. Thus. The Navy cannot explain the importance of not being able to cut military expenditures on this issue. Because the Chu State Navy launched a more powerful attack on itself. The Qin navy needs to build a more stable navy to deal with the Chu navy. If the above knows, then Qin will not take the initiative to cut military expenditures of the navy.
