Chapter 530: New hires

Shangwen was at this moment and wanted to continue talking. But Wei Liao stopped Shang Wen in private.

Li Mu is considering how to accept Qin's assistance. Qin's assistance is not that simple. This is his opinion.

"What do you think, sir?" Shang Wen asked. Take a break from the meeting. Shang Wen asked Dao Wei Liao why he stopped him just now.

"Then Li Mu doesn't know what to consider? But mentioning Zhao's military strength. This is very inappropriate." Wei Liao said his own opinion. Shang Wen nodded in agreement. My plan is aimed at the deployment of Zhao's forces. So clearly to interfere with other people's forces. This is a taboo for Zhao Guo. Thinking of this, Shangwen decided to revise some of his plans. The military power of the other side is no longer the mainstay. Instead, I chose another approach. disarmament.

The standing army of the Qin State only maintained a size of around 250,000. The remaining personnel were all abolished. Shang Wen took the initiative to show Qin's disarmament plan to Li Mu. Li Mu was puzzled.

Then Shang Wen proposed another draft. That is, the State of Zhao also disarmed. Moreover, the number of people stayed at around 200 to 300,000. In this way, the two sides no longer have much threat in the military.

This draft only begins with disarmament. The abolished military personnel will have Zhao Guo's own establishment of relevant organizations and staff to participate in Qin's military operations on the border. The State of Zhao provided personnel, and the State of Qin provided weapons and equipment and logistics supplies. The business operations between the two parties are handled by private individuals.

Although Li Mu hesitated, he unexpectedly agreed. This plan respected Zhao Guoren's own ideas. Moreover, the personnel are in their own hands. The level of communication lies in personal relationships. Rather than the country, the government, on such a level.

These are not over yet. The next step is about Qin's plan to assist Zhao. First, Li Mu proposed that Qin's compensation for the Changping War massacre should be paid as soon as possible. Shang Wen refused.

Such a large amount of money is not included in the government expenditure budget. And it can't be opened. Shangwen wants to lengthen this indemnity item. Stretch as much as possible. Moreover, the goals of the aid are all Zhao's national goals. For example, why education, medical treatment, etc. Shangwen chooses to make a one-time payment. The compensation was requested by Qin Guo on his own initiative. It was not requested by Zhao Guo. Qin State has great initiative.

After rejecting a large number of compensation items. Shang Wen reframed his goal on how to restore Zhao's economy. Zhao Guo's situation is on the verge of collapse. This is Shang Wen's cognition from the newspaper.

"Our two countries must first send ambassadors to each other to repair the damaged relations between the two countries. Qin Guoguo set up temporary consulates throughout the country of Zhao. Qin will be there to issue passes to those of you who have not committed criminal offences, and then, We encourage factory owners in Xianyang and other places to recruit people from you, and they will enter the Qin State factory to work. They can come back when the farming is busy," Shang Wen said.

"You pay us." Li Mu said.

"Naturally, we also have the Labor Protection Law, such legal provisions, as long as you are willing to sign them. Then they will have legal effect." Shangwen said.

Li Mu nodded.

"I know, you are very worried that you Zhao people are not willing to go back after coming to Qin. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to apply for registration and registration in Qin, he will not be able to become Qin." Shangwen explained. Li Mu naturally understood.

Next, it became, Shangwen's answering questions, and Li Mu's signing of the document.

Due to the large amount of manpower involved in the factory in the territory of Qin to work. Moreover, the factory projects developed by Qin Guo are mainly light industry, and heavy industry has not been fully developed. And it is a key restricted unit.

Light industry is mainly leather processing, textile mills, and so on. These factories mainly recruit a large number of female workers. As for men. All were arranged in Qin's armed units.

The armed personnel of the Qin State are well equipped. They often have a thousand people who can deal with the direct attack of tens of thousands of opponents. Behind the well-equipped equipment reflects the exquisiteness of the people of Qin. It is becoming increasingly difficult for armed companies to recruit suitable personnel. Because many people either go home and buy hundreds of acres of land after they get rich, or they go to work on their own. Anyway, there is a shortage of people in many places in Qin. People of Qin didn't want to do this kind of risky thing more and more. Only those veterans who have just retired will be willing to do this.

It is precisely this reason that prompted Qin to hire a large number of new armed personnel. Obviously, Zhao Guo became their preferred target. The Zhao people are brave in battle, and they are not weaker than the Qin people at all. What they lack is weapons, sophisticated weapons and a steady stream of inaccessible materials. This has become their weakness. Most importantly, they are cheap.

Although they can also use some slaves as some fighting supplements, they are still not credible. This is a huge ethnic difference. And these Zhao people are compared with these slaves. The two have huge national commonalities. This commonality is the bond that maintains a sense of trust in combat. Trust is very important.

These Zhao people are used to it. Unlike the Qin people, although the Qin people maintain a continuous combat situation, they are extremely divided. Some people are beginning to become professional soldiers, while some people are getting away from the war. This is brought about by industrialization. It is also a necessary requirement for economic development. Even the most powerful army in the world must pass through this ring. This is not a choice.

As early as when some Qin people continued to withdraw from the armed forces, the Qin people began to hire some Zhao people from the Zhao country. They are very bitter. Often not enough to eat, some people are still attached to some big landlords. They fled to Qin country unbearably. In order to make a living, they joined the armed forces of the State of Qin. Because it is easy to make a fortune in this business. Just luck. The Qin people are completing their primitive accumulation of capital in this way. Those who quit will buy farms, or work, either fund a factory or open a shop. The taxation of the country is very low. There are very few commercial controls. This is the biggest driving force for Qin's economic development.

With the passage of time, the Qin people continued to withdraw, and there were fewer and fewer supplementary personnel, making the armed personnel into a difficult situation. They are well equipped. But the staff is very small. A tiger is hard to beat a pack of wolves. For safety reasons. They are willing to recruit some people from the Six Nations. Among them, the people of Zhao are mainly from the country. It is also reflected in this situation. It was only then that Shang Wen made it to reach a reconciliation with Zhao Guo. Then hire a large number of Zhao people to participate in Qin's own border battles. The people of Qin were willing to pay, but the people of Zhao solved the job, got paid, and got what they wanted. It's a good deal for both parties.
