Chapter 1213: Reduction of troops

Shangwen helplessly listened to Yingyu's wishful thinking. These fantasies make Yingyu feel very excited. But Shang Wen didn't have such a longing. Shangwen is sometimes contradictory.

On the issue of marriage. He swayed from side to side. Sometimes I'm scared, and sometimes I hope things happen quickly. In short it is very contradictory. There are also longings. There is also fear. Shang Wen is very contradictory. This contradiction makes Shang Wen vacillate. Slowly approached over time. Shang Wen became increasingly hesitant. Perhaps rational people will become hesitant when facing perceptual problems, because such perceptual problems cannot be solved with formulas.

Shang Wen didn't know what to say? But he suddenly felt a kind of confusion, which made Shangwen very confused.

"I see. I am very busy now. I need to solve a problem. Your company. Or rather. Your big company needs to take some concrete actions." Shang Wen said.

"Bang." Shang Wen dropped the phone all of a sudden.

"I need to pick up the Wenyang Bank headquarters. Find Director Xiao He." Shang Wen picked up the phone and said.

"Okay. Please wait a moment." The operator said on the other end of the phone. And Shang Wen waited patiently.

And at the high-level meeting of Wenyang Bank. Xiao He is holding a high-level meeting. The content of this meeting is being discussed. How to be in the next bond market. Get high profits. And take the initiative. The situation at Wenyang Bank is very bad. The Qin government is drawing up a plan to issue government bonds. This time, considering the acceptance of the market, the extent of bond issuance is not very large.

"The amount of government bonds that may be issued is not very large. To be precise, only one million gold. There are more than a dozen banks participating in the bidding. The pressure of such competition is very high. Only a small part of terror is allocated to our hands. Now." A bank executive stood up and said with a document.

All the executives exhaled very solemnly. They feel very nervous.

"How about our corporate bond issuance?" Xiao He asked.

"Not good." This time. Said the bank executive who made the report.

"We issued a certain amount of bonds in the hands of the government. And we exchanged a considerable amount of paper money to save our banking business, and some investment, but now it seems. Our approach is not very wise, we are abroad Investment. And lending has shrunk a lot. The situation is not too good. We need to restore our previous strength and still need to operate for a long time." The executives are somewhat pessimistic. And Xiao He just thought quietly.

And at this time. At this time, an assistant walked in quietly and quickly. He glanced at the location of the meeting, and then quickly walked to Xiao He's side.

"Director. The prime minister called to find you." The assistant whispered at this time. But all the executives looked at Xiao He at this time. Although the assistant's voice is very small. But everyone present heard it.

"I see." Xiao He nodded and said.

"I will come as soon as I go." Xiao He said. Then he got up and went out.

"Is it Xiao He?" Shang Wen said immediately when he heard a voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Yes. Prime Minister..." Xiao He didn't finish. Shangwen interrupted Xiao He's questioning.

"Listen, time is a bit tight. We don't need to be polite. I can tell you something directly." Shang Wen said.

"Do you know the Korean problem?" Shang Wen said.

"Oh. Let me just say it." Shang Wen said.

"Korea now has a large number of banknotes in the country, Qin's half-dollar banknotes, these banknotes are invalid. Because they used hard currency to replace our half-dollar banknotes, but they are in trouble now. They don't have enough hard currency. Besides. , There are still some problems, that is, they prohibit the circulation of half and two banknotes in the Korean market, which makes a large number of banknotes unable to circulate. However, this also leads to another problem. The wealth they represent with half and two banknotes means disappearance. Now the South Korean side has realized that this is a very serious problem. They are asking us, is there any way. The solution I gave is. Issue our bonds to them. Then reclaim the bonds in their hands. You have to understand. One reason. The market is huge. The bond issuance is very small. The price can easily rise. This is too good for us." Shang Wen said.

"So now, what we need to do is to occupy this market. We need a bank that can be implemented urgently. I think Wenyang Bank has such rich experience. I hope you can make some preparations." Shang Wen said while holding the phone. .

"En. I understand the prime minister." Xiao He digested every word Shangwen said with the fastest reaction speed.

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Shang Wen said.

"After the issuance of bonds. South Korea still needs their own paper money. Then these bonds will become their foreign exchange reserves in exchange for a certain amount of Qin State paper money. This is their foreign exchange reserves, and the issuance of paper money must be implemented." Shang Wen said .

"However, they still have technical problems. These technical problems. I hope you can solve them well. I will call them for technical bidding. I hope you can succeed." Shang Wen said.

"That's all. There will be a foreign exchange issue in the future. I hope you can understand that foreign exchange is actually a huge financial instrument, bonds, stocks. Foreign exchange. There are also futures. Finance has four. And there are derivatives. Many. We have financial advantages. Do you understand?" Shang Wen said.

"En. I think. I understand a little bit." Xiao He said at this time.

"Very good. Give full play to our advantages and go out." Shang Wen said.

"Okay. That's all. Bye. Good luck." Shang Wen said and hung up the phone. And Xiao He also put the phone to his ear. He is understanding Shang Wen's last few words.

Inside Shang Wen's office. Shang Wen is writing a telegram quickly.

"This telegram is sent to South Korea. It is sent in the format of a letter." Shang Wen said to the assistant.

"Letter?" the assistant asked.

"Yes. Letter. We have to respect each other in order to win the respect of each other." Shang Wen said. Before, Qin sent a letter to treat South Korea as a boss. During the Warring States Period, such diplomatic relations often occurred. Shangwen didn't know this before, but after an accidental reading. Shang Wen discovered this problem. So Shang Wen immediately made corrections. As long as it is a country or other formal occasion, as long as the conditions are met, the letter is used. Instead of the high-profile letters as before. Shang Wen thinks this is respect for others. To win the respect of others, you have to respect others first by doing your own. Moreover, what matters to the Qin State is growth in strength, rather than winning temporary victories on these diplomatic occasions.

These are some unnecessary things. It's too hypocritical. Shangwen himself thought so.

Just when Qin State further implemented a reform measure, especially when it made great efforts to carry out financial reforms. Zhao Guo is also taking some reform measures.

"Wow." Outside the city of Handan in the country of Zhao. Li Mu stood on the top of the city and looked at Zhao Jun who had returned home. The number of people dispatched by Zhao Jun was as high as 30,000 at one time. Although the combat personnel are as high as more than 20,000. The number of personnel in charge of logistics is as high as tens of thousands. The transfer of 30,000 people is for Zhao Jun, who has only more than 200,000 people. It is also a considerable burden.

Especially this time Zhao Jun sent troops. Military expenditures are also quite large. In addition, Zhao Jun implemented a universal conscript system. It can be said like this. As long as Zhao Jun's adult man is sixteen years old, he can serve as a soldier on the battlefield. Thus. The actual number of Zhao Jun once reached 300,000 standing troops. This kind of standing force preparation surpassed the Qin army. The Qin Army is a solid standing army of 250,000. The actual number of Zhao Jun is more than Qin Jun. But in fact, these soldiers who have joined can be regarded as reserve personnel at most. And if Qin Jun counts as a militia, I am afraid it will surpass Zhao Jun. However, such a huge standing force has actually surpassed Zhao's economic support.

At this time, the State of Zhao is undergoing a special period of high-speed economic development, under the stable environment of peace. The economy overwhelmed military security. In order to reduce government spending, it is used for economic construction. The Prime Minister of the State of Zhao Guo Kai unexpectedly proposed a proposal to reduce military expenditures, and this proposal was opposed by some ministers. However, some aristocrats in the Zhao country got approval. There are also some ministers who agree. Li Mu openly opposed. But Wang Zhao has already expressed a willingness to cut military expenditures. Because after cutting military spending. More palaces can be built.

"Huh." Thought of this. Li Mu felt very depressed.

"General." Sima Shang asked Li Mu at this moment.

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

"General, why are you worried?" Sima Shang asked in a low voice at this time.

"The army cuts military expenditure?" Li Mu said at this time.

"Ah." Sima Shang exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be surprised." Li Mu said at this time.

"Military expenditure reduction, this. This." Sima Shang himself didn't know what to say.

"Qin Guo looked closely at it," Li Mu said.

"The entire Taihang line of defense cannot be shaken. We have to cut another line of defense. Looking at it, our surrounding geographical location is really not too good." Li Mu said to himself.

"We are probably going to reduce the number of soldiers." Li Mu said at this time.

"Reduce the number of people?" Sima Shang said.

"Yes. That's the only way. But in this way, we can sharpen our military strength, but how to arrange the reduced personnel is a problem." Li Mu said.

"Perhaps we can follow the example of Qin State to establish a reserve service system." Li Mu said.
