Chapter 215: Why open up new territory

King Qin heard Shang Wen's explanation. Suddenly was stunned. King Qin was also a man of great talent and roughness, but compared to Shang Wen's commercial and economic methods, he looked a little rough and domineering.

King Qin began to slowly doubt the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business since the reform of Shang Martingale. As for Shang Wenxin's rhetoric, he began to accept it.

"Once the economies of the six countries become united, they begin to rely on our Daqin’s economic development. To what extent our Daqin’s economy develops, they will rely on to what extent. The survival of the people of the six countries depends on our Daqin. It is Da Qin who is not going to unify the six countries, and the six countries naturally invited us Da Qin to unify. This has become the will of heaven, the irreversible will of heaven." Shang Wen pointed to the sky with his finger.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The economies of the six countries are very independent and lack nothing. The era of commodity exchanges only occurs when the war breaks out. This is why, several major businessmen in China have all appeared in the age of war. Now Shangwen not only wants to make the merchants in the war era rich, but also to upgrade the business activities of the merchants. This is the impact of upgrading and transformation will far exceed any era in China.

The first is that the economies of the six countries will no longer exist independently, but will be completely destroyed to form a single group economy. The advantage of this economy lies in the concentration of limited resources and the formation of different advantageous resources. Based on these advantageous resources, a single group is formed. Economic model, in this way, unification becomes the model of united economic development. Political unity is extremely unstable. But economic unity can greatly stabilize politically irreconcilable contradictions. Economic unity will create a great empire with absolute internal stability.

Shang Wen couldn't think of so much at first. When the war situation reached this point, even King Qin himself could not stand in front of it.

"In addition, for us, Unity has only developed internal needs, and we have strong external needs. This is also due to our economic needs. Economic needs are far greater than our political needs. That is, King Alexander The motive for opening up the territory is simply to acquire land. If a large area of ​​territory cannot be converted into the economic lifeline of a confidant in a timely manner, sooner or later, it will not be able to hold it.” Shang Wen said.

"And if it is a place where our economy is heavily dependent on resources, then, even if it is lost once, we will quickly grab it. For example, Daqin is now extracting gasoline, diesel, and kerosene from fierce fire oil. These things are not so obvious that Daqin is using them now. However, if Daqin loses these places, my Daqin’s heavenly army can’t fly. And the lubricants for all of my Daqin’s vehicles cannot stop because there is no lubricant. Before. Things like this will affect every aspect of my Da Qin’s life. It is for these. My Da Qin’s people will come to my king and start wars. Retake these places. Even if the war squanders my Da Qin’s strength, my Da Qin son The people are also willing. This is the economic power of the war." Shang Wen didn't know what to say. Shangwen never thought of these theories. only know. Once the war enters the resource mode. The war behavior of the country will become very crazy. The entire country will do its best for this, unless the country is completely destroyed. Otherwise no one can stop a huge war machine.

"The economic power of war." King Qin asked without understanding.

"Yes, the economy is resources. Our technology can develop and utilize resources, which represents our economic ability. In the past, slash-and-burn farming. Now cattle farming and iron farming tools. These are the results of our use of new technology to develop the land. Slash-and-burn farming, It is a division of labor between agriculture and hunting. Farming will be a division of labor between handicraft and agriculture. On the basis of handicraft, it will be upgraded to industry. These are the roads for technological development. This is also the direction of our economic development in Daqin. Now we emphasize agriculture. The policy of suppressing business has severely restrained this development trend. King Qin, you have to make a huge reform. To ease the great disadvantages brought about by this policy. Only in this way can we develop further." Shang Wen said.

"Oh. Do the widows want to ease the shortcomings of this policy like that Dayu's water management." King Qin said.

"Yes. The emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce during the pre-wang Xiaogong period did have positive significance, but with the development of Daqin in the past few years, the accumulated wealth has far exceeded the changes of that era. When my Daqin Shangyang changed. It was impoverished. At that time, only a few kinds of resources were able to do big things. Now, I have a wealth of generations in Daqin. Compared with the previous kings, the resources have made great progress. If the previous policies are still implemented, then It's like blocking the Yellow River. The result will only be greater floods."

"The king has the ambition to dominate the world, he should have it, and the mind to govern the world. Now my Daqin agricultural production has begun to appear some cases of land mergers. Such cases. It is a sign." Shang Wen said. Shangwen did not deliberately investigate such an example, but if you look through the history books, you will find it. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Land mergers are extremely serious. A large number of farmers lost their land. If the upgrade can be done at that time, the capitalist road will be greatly advanced.

"Merge the land. Only those who have the ability can merge. It means that someone can use fewer people to grow more food. So what do these people who do not merge?"

"If the king banned land annexation. Then the peasants who came out of the annexation would return to the land. But those who can annex the land will suffer. This seems to be a very appropriate thing, but it is extremely restrictive. Its development." Shang Wen said. King Qin listened carefully to Shang Wen's explanation.

"First of all, those who can merge will suffer great losses. Second, the enthusiasm of COFCO will not be very high. In this way, the technology of agricultural production will stop, and the production of agriculture will stop. The harvest is more than enough, but the attack is insufficient. Because of the food problem, Daqin can only protect these vested interests conservatively. We cannot open the territory to expand the territory. It requires a large number of soldiers and weapons. The land has a large number of idle personnel. Unable to extract it. In this way, opening up the territory will become a kind of empty talk. Even if you are powerful as the king, the national economy cannot compete."

"So if the widow learns from the great Yu how to control the waters?" King Qin immediately asked a question related to the lifeline of the country.
