Chapter 1059: Military spending is the key

In fact, the mode of war is changing. In the past, the combat method of directly destroying the opponent’s military entities and then finally occupying the country’s political and economic entities is slowly changing.

The war is increasingly inclined to a state of war of attrition. Especially in that kind of war of attrition with great strength. Xiang Yan has vaguely felt this change.

"This war of attrition is the consumption of national power, and this cannot be changed." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"Ah." Ning Chu said in surprise.

"This is indeed the case." Xiang Yan said affirmatively at this time.

"The general can crack the law." Ning Chu hurriedly asked at this time.

"This. This." Xiang Yan was very hesitant at this time.

"The general is going to save Chu Kingdom." At this time, the young master Xiu hurriedly bowed down and begged Xiang Yan.

"The son, please get up. The son, please get up." Xiang Yan hurriedly helped the son up at this time.

"My son. This is not a place to speak. Please take a step to speak". At this time, Xiang Yan saw the sincerity of the son's negative cues, and said straightforwardly.

"Okay. As long as the old general is willing to save me Chu State." Said Ning Chu and Xiang Yan moved to the Chinese army's big account. After Xiang Ping retired all the people, he began the big event with negative cues.

"If you want to save the Chu country. At the end, I think you should learn from the Qin country." At this time, Xiang Yan said directly.

"Oh. What's the meaning of the old general?" At this moment, Hou hurriedly asked.

"Don't be surprised, the young man. In fact, the general is also reading various books published by Qin recently. Although the books of Qin are more in the vernacular, the principles are the same. Moreover, those thoughts have broadened the horizon of the final." Xiang Yan said excitedly.

With the widespread promotion of paper, especially Qin State newspapers, the huge printing industry brought about by books, the increase of Qin State books showed a kind of blowout development. This is an important manifestation of Qin's cultural development.

Among them, Shangwen's policies are inextricably linked. First of all, Shangwen promoted education, which was not available before Qin. Qin's policy is to use the law as a teacher. The education foundation is very weak. Few people can understand words.

But this is unacceptable to the technology-born Shangwen. This is the first thing he changed. Education is the basic force of Qin's powerful technological resources. Without education, Qin's development will have no prospects. This is Shangwen's greatest contribution. What Qin wants is not a momentary power. It's the power of the first life. Want to be stronger and more long-term. Education must be valued.

Driven by education, the population of Qin State who understands writing has increased rapidly. Although Qin is still illiterate in some places, it has reached a very high level compared to the six countries. Driven by Qin's education, a large number of people who understand all kinds of knowledge and ideas have emerged.

In order to spread their own ideas and promote various technologies, these people gradually began to publish and distribute their own books to promote their ideas. With the accumulation of time for the promotion of Qin State education, Qin State has more and more books. In addition to most technical books, books on politics and military are also constantly appearing. Most of the books on these studies were produced by some middle-ranking officers of the Qin State. Although their opinions were a bit naive, they were very innovative. Most of the books Xiang Yan saw were such books, and these books had a great impact on his thinking.

The second is the large-scale promotion of paper. Newspapers and books have reliable and cheap carriers.

The last is the change in Qin's cultural policy. In Qin State, people began to pay more attention to the role of people, especially with the industrialization of Qin State, many technological innovations were accomplished by people. In order to obtain higher profits, some business owners have begun to carry out large-scale technological innovations. Most of Qin's first-line researchers are of worker origin. With their obsession with technology, they became the first generation of Qin's technical researchers.

It is also the influence of this great era. It is possible for Qin's books to be promoted. Although this kind of contradiction in Qin is not very prominent, it did happen in Qin.

"I will read such a passage in a book at the end. It probably means that the reason why Qin is strong is because of the continuous changes of Qin. The power of change will bring about a sharp increase in the country's strength, and the country's strength. The essence of increasing strength is to liberate humanity." Xiang Yan said.

At this time, Ning Chu listened carefully to Xiang Yan's explanation, although he didn't understand what this liberating humanity was. However, he knew that this was one of the important ways to strengthen Chu State. As for how important it is, he needs to keep listening. If this is not the case, then the Kingdom of Chu will surely lead to the doom of the country's subjugation. In fact, he was the last king of Chu in the Warring States Period.

"The nature of the increase in national strength is to liberate human nature. The country needs talents. Why do talents come from? In addition to benefits, there is something called faith. They are in order to achieve a spiritual realm. This realm is the extraordinary insight of talents." Xiang Yan explained at this time.

"And Qin is undoubtedly doing this. The book I read analyzed the actions of the prime minister of Qin. He believes that the changes that are taking place in Qin are taking the people of Qin into a closed way of thinking from the past. Liberate. I think we will do the same in Chu State." At this time, Xiang Yan put forward a topic of liberating human nature for the first time to Ning Chu. In fact, liberating human nature is a huge change.

"En." Ning Chu nodded in understanding. Agree.

"I have come all the way from the State of Qin. The changes that have taken place in the State of Qin have exceeded my understanding. The State of Qin is almost a day, the state of Qin is strong. It exceeds the sum of the six countries. There are so many iron horses, railways There are so many. It's far beyond your imagination." Ning Chu began to sigh with emotion.

"The state of Qin seems to have undergone tremendous changes under the reform of the prime minister named Qin Shangwen. Although the state of Qin does not send troops to the six countries of Kwantung, it can deploy diplomatic means. Hold Zhao State and South Korea in your hands. The State of Yan also Listen to Qin State's dispatch. This way, it will be very unfavorable to my Chu State." Ng Chu said worriedly.

"En." Xiang Yan nodded and said.

"If there is a battle between Qin Chu and Chu in the future, then Qin can completely rely on the strong national power to destroy our Chu." Ning Chu said worriedly.

"So, what the old general said is right." Suzu continued.

"I, Chu, must reform. But reform is not easy. I don’t have such a talent in Chu, and Qin does not know where to find such a talent." Ning Chu summed up his own experience at this time. He believed that what Chu lacked was neither capital nor national power. The real lack is talent. Xiang Yan just added this from the side.

"Talent?!" Xiang Yan also said this silently at this time.

"Since the young man has the heart to rejuvenate the Chu State, there is something in the end that I don't know if it is inappropriate to say it." Xiang Yan also plucked up the courage to stand up and said.

"Old general, but it's okay to say." Suzu said respectfully.

"Since we don’t have talents, we can imitate Qin’s reforms and reform our Chu State. Today, our Chu State is also undergoing major changes under the influence of Qin State. Take a look at our neighboring countries of Chu State. South Korea is also undergoing such a major change. Although South Korea does not have many talents available, it is also making changes following the example of Qin." At this time, Xiang Yan proposed a bold reform plan.

"Imitate the reform of the Qin State?" Ning Chu said in surprise.

"Yes. It's modeled after Qin's reform." Xiang Yan said.

"En." Ning Chu began to calm down and think about this issue.

"However, the son, the final general thinks that the current son should have an armed force loyal to the son. It is like the new army of the Queen of South Korea. This army should be a new armed army like the Qin State, and this army should have various arms. Engineers, artillery, cavalry, and large-scale infantry operations. New weapons include intensive lethal weapons such as revolver guns. Only in this way can this army become a deterrent and powerful army. In addition, this army needs to have one. A brand-new military system is the easiest thing to imitate the Qin military system." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"En." Ning Chu nodded. He believes that Xiang Yan's view is correct.

What Xiang Yan considered was that it was the Xiang family's armed forces based on the Xiang family's children. He wants to upgrade this armed force to a national armed force. Through the actions of the national armed forces, he strives for greater glory for the Xiang family.

And when negative heard this, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind.

"The old general Xiang is right." Ning Chu glanced at Xiang Yan. Thought in my mind.

"If I want to become the King of Chu, I must have a brand new army. This army must have brand new weapons. At the same time, it must have a variety of weapons." Thinking of this, I had an idea.

"The old general is really a good opinion." Hou Chu praised Xiang Yan.

"The son is overwhelmed." Xiang Yan said with a wave of hands at this time.

"However, son. There will be one more thing to say at the end." Xiang Yan said respectfully at this time.

"The old general can just say it straight." Ning Chu was very happy at this time. Because he knew that this was the old General Xiang showing his loyalty. In this case, it would be impossible for a general to tell him.

"Military expenditure, what our army lacks is military expenditure. Without military expenditure, there will be no equipment, and without equipment, there will be no Chu State New Army." Xiang Yan said directly.

"Without Chu's new army, there would be no Chu as a powerful country." Xiang Yan said directly.

"This." Ning Chu realized the root of the problem at this time. At this time, Xiang Yan raised the issue that she most wanted to care about. If he wants to strengthen his strength, he must have sufficient military spending, and what he lacks is military spending.
