Chapter 641: After the sneak attack

The Guanzhong area of ​​Qin State has the largest middle class in Qin State. A large number of industrial workers gather here. Qin’s workers’ salaries have been increased to 15 to 20 and a half taels per day for eight hours. This is enough to support the consumption activities of Qin's middle class. Even the lowest-level migrant workers get a salary of five and a half two a day. They can buy cars with the help of bank installment loans. The uses of cars are very elegant and wide-ranging. For example, a taxi is a good job.

It is precisely the existence of a large number of middle-class people in Qin State that produces a huge rigid demand. This demand supports the rapid development of the automotive industry.

Only half a month's time. There are more than 1,000 "D" cars in the Xianyang area of ​​the State of Qin. As time enters the end of June. Qin Guo expects to produce nearly 10,000 such cars in July. Other manufacturers have made a variety of deformed vehicles to seize market share. Especially the construction of gas stations is widespread. Accelerated the pace of automobile popularization.

Almost overnight. The streets of Qin State Xianyang were full of cars. Although the carriage still exists. But the number has been drastically reduced. The rich are marked by car ownership. Ordinary people also think that cars are the best means of transportation. They don't have to feed the horses every day. The Ministry of Communications is drafting a document declaring that Qin State Xianyang is a city forbidding carriages.

It's not just domestic demand. The Queen of South Korea also sent a telegram. The Queen of South Korea cannot stay in another country for a long time. There is great dissent in South Korea. In desperation, the queen could only return home in mid-May. The content of the telegram is that South Korea will order one hundred special luxury cars. To facilitate the Queen's travel. Such demand orders will extend to a new model in the future. car.

The major automobile manufacturers in Qin State have started production at full capacity. The newly constructed automobile production line is continuously put into production. But this also greatly consumed Qin's reserves in non-ferrous metals. Especially brass and copper. Non-ferrous metal ores are abundant in the south. The State of Qin needs to send manpower to look for ore. Chu's transportation problem still remains unresolved. The price of ore remains high.

Large quantities of guns were replaced in the north. Especially the design of the revolving back-pull bolt and the magazine. The demand for bullets suddenly rose by a large amount. The gunpowder in the Western Regions uses black powder bullets. Up to two hundred moves can be played. The rifle is one shot and one shot. The demand for bullets is not very large compared to the north. But the north is different. Their rifles use smokeless powder. The bullet can hit an astonishing distance of nine hundred steps. Their guns are very long. This ensures that they can shoot a long distance. Plus the magazine design. Bullets are in great demand. Because they can shoot five bullets in ten seconds.

However, two news soon suppressed the stimulus of copper mine demand in the south. The first one is. Qin Guo repaired the highway from Luoyang to the Yangtze River in the south. This means that Qin can borrow waterways and then reach Xianyang by land transportation. But this price is also high. It can be said that the highway of Qin State is a road of blood and bones. Because the repair time is only a few months. This means that the Qin State expropriated a large number of slaves. The fact is that this highway is only initially opened to traffic. However, at least more than 150,000 slaves died on the construction of this highway.

In order to speed up the progress. King Qin even called an army of slaves who built his mausoleum. One hundred thousand Yue's slaves entered these projects. These slaves are divided into two classes. Construct highways day and night. Excessive fatigue resulted in the death of masses of slaves. But the officers in custody didn't care about it at all. What they care about is the construction period. Except for a large number of slaves. The use of some construction machinery is also one of the reasons. roller. The use of excavators and lifting vehicles speeds up the progress of the project. A large number of nearby migrant workers also joined. The government pays wages. Each person is paid three and a half to seven and a half remunerations according to the progress of the project every day. The difference in wages is inevitable. This has also solved many employment problems.

However, these people immediately moved on to another engineering project before they had time to catch their breath. The construction of the Southern Railway urgently needs a lot of manpower. After the follow-up work of the expressway was handed over to a small number of people, it was transferred to the railway construction.

The other good news is. Qin's naval aviation successfully attacked the opponent's water village. According to preliminary statistics, about 300 large ships of various kinds were burnt down. The main force of Chu's navy near the Qin State naval base was basically annihilated. The Qin Navy sent this news cautiously after many reconnaissance and statistics.

This news. The military soon announced it to Qin's reporters. As soon as the news was announced. Qin's four copper ingot futures fell across the board. The market has also begun to regain its strength under the good news. Emerging auto stocks rose sharply. Various circuit stocks also rose sharply. The market's exceeding expectations gave the market's response.

But Qin's navy is up to this time. There is still no decent ship. Large shipyards are relocating various machinery and equipment. The ship just stays on the drawing design. Only the military's fast gunboat has a decent model. The Qin State Navy still needs half a year to build the naval surface naval force.

For this. Shang Wen is very clear. He is considering Fan Zeng's suggestion. Favorable opportunities for victory through the current war. Negotiate with Chu State. Temporarily ease the current situation. Fan Zeng has seen it. If it is not possible to temporarily postpone Qin's current mineral resources problem. It is bound to affect the development of Qin's local economy. It even caused a series of serious consequences.

Qin's economy is based on extremely low mineral resources. The coal comes from Zhao country. The wood comes from the country of Yan. Qi State’s petroleum resources, and Chu State’s large amount of non-ferrous metal ore. The prices of these resources have all become low under the pressure of Qin Guo Futures. It's not just the Qin family. South Korea’s labor-intensive processing industries and Zhao’s extractive industries are all linked to the Qin state-owned economy. Qin State is at the top of the economy. This means that there is an economic "cough" in Qin. Then South Korea, Zhao State, and Yan State may have economic "cold" symptoms.

The chain reaction of the economy was concentrated in the formulation of Qin's national policy.

The navy problem is subject to economic problems and it is impossible to completely solve it. Qin needs to negotiate to delay this time process. In other words. Qin Guo achieved some of them as specific goals within the scope of the original plan. In fact, it can only be so. Out of this consideration, it means that in the future, Qin and Chu will fight another battle over the Yangtze River. It is only a matter of time. But what we need to do now is to end this war. Obtain the benefits that war should have through negotiation.
