Chapter 972: Qin's economic situation

The meeting temporarily confirmed Shangwen's confused policy, and Qin also decided not to conduct large-scale combat operations during this year. However, Qin can participate in small-scale combat operations. After all, it is absolutely impossible to stop combat operations. A country needs a certain amount of violence. To vent domestic attention. Small military operations at this time are very necessary. Especially the Qin State, a country with serious martial arts.

However, there are still many problems before Shangwen. The first problem is the economic problem.

With the support of two years of low tax rates, Qin’s economy has made considerable progress. In particular, Qin’s land mergers and Qin’s industrial tides have surged. Let Qin State's economy have made great progress.

Qin State established a large-scale farm, a pasture-style economy. Qin’s northern ranch economy suffered a certain loss due to the slave riots in the north, but the economic foundation of Qin’s ranch still exists, and it’s only a matter of time before it recovers to its original state.

In this regard, Shangwen has provided relevant support to Qin's northern pasture economy. First of all, Qin's banking industry will provide a large number of low-interest loans to the north. Because these loans are commercial loans, it is impossible to justify without interest.

Secondly, Shangwen also carried out related tax exemption support policies. In beef cattle and sheep breeding. Shang Wen has issued a series of related support policies. such as. After the number of cattle and sheep exceeds a certain number. The state will no longer levy various taxes and fees. Especially the one percent income tax. This has played a big role in the rapid recovery of Qin's northern pastures.

Finally, a brand-new financial instrument has initially entered the agricultural field, which is insurance. Wenyang Financial Group boldly carried out reforms. They also had insurance business before. These insurance businesses were mainly concentrated in Qin's shipping industry, especially Qin's armed merchant ships. Transportation of goods for sale is a huge profiteering industry. To this. The insurance industry first aimed at this market, but unexpectedly, the performance of this market was very cold, and Qin Guo's insurance industry offered very tempting conditions. There are very few ships buying armed merchant marine insurance because this is a brand new financial concept. For the people of Qin, it is a fact that is very unacceptable, because it is easy to remember. This is a kind of gambling. And only if one loses, can he get compensation from the other party. This is a kind of unacceptable logic. This kind of logic is unimaginable, and the people of Qin cannot accept it for a while. Therefore, the number of armed merchant ships buying insurance is very scarce.

It's not just scarcity. After Qin's armed merchant ships purchase ships and weapons, it is difficult for them to purchase insurance with the funds. It aggravates the situation that insurance is difficult to maintain. Because the capital invested by merchant marine insurance is not a small amount, this amount is a new investment for armed merchant marine personnel. They can use the insurance money to buy guns or even new artillery. In this way, they feel more secure.

For various reasons, the insurance industry of Qin State did not develop smoothly in the southern part of Qin State. It can be said to be very bleak. The insurance industry cannot be carried out in the shipping of Qin State, which cannot provide new thrust to Qin State's shipping, and there is no such thrust to help it. The development of Qin State's maritime commerce has faced many difficulties.

The insurance industry cannot develop in the southern part of the Qin State, and it is also difficult to maintain its local development in the Qin State. First of all, people don’t understand Qin’s insurance. People don’t understand the importance of buying an insurance. In addition, Qin’s economy is developing very fast. Qin's economy is in a period of rapid development, and everything is fine. People can ignore the existence of risks.

In terms of providing for the elderly, Qin is a typical infancy. The country of the prime of life. A large number of newborn babies were born in Qin State. It can be said that people’s traditional old-age care methods will affect Qin’s future and there is no danger of lack of old-age care. This has also prompted insurance to lose a lot of market in terms of pensions, children, and other issues. Although this market has great potential for development. But the cost of development is very high. The insurance industry cannot sustain itself in the local market.

But insurance soon ushered in a new turning point. This turning point was the northern slave riots in Qin. Make a mess of northern Qin. Especially those ranchers, the loss is very big. All the slaves fled. Property, cattle and sheep lost nothing. Then the insurance industry quickly entered. Expand insurance business. After the ranchers suffered such a big loss. Put your hopes on insurance, this way. Qin's insurance is also rapidly unfolding in the north.

The slave riots in the north gave the insurance industry a new opportunity for development.

The development of the insurance industry reflects a microcosm of Qin's economy from the side. The economy of Qin State is extremely prosperous in the virtual economy, especially the development of stocks, bonds, and futures markets. This shows that Qin's financial system has been established. Qin State has established financial trading markets not only in the country, but also in the north and individual cities in the south. These markets trade various types of stocks. Bonds, futures. As a result, Qin's financial industry has developed rapidly.

The rapid development of the financial industry has brought great convenience to Qin's capital circulation. This convenience brought great convenience to the development of Qin's heavy industry. Qin State established three major iron and steel machinery industrial belts. The Jiuyuan Steel Belt with Guyang as its center in the north. Some special steels are mainly produced here, mainly rare earth steels. These steels are special steels necessary for the production of engines. Moreover, most of these steels are used in military industry, parts of firearms, and beams of various vehicles. These are all produced by Guyang Iron and Steel Industry.

In addition, it is the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Belt. The steel in this zone mainly produces railways and construction materials. Because it is close to Zhao State and neighboring countries, the steel produced here is mainly railroad tracks, and various steel bars are used for Zhao State. Zhao's construction industry is developing rapidly. This is also the main reason for stimulating Taiyuan Iron and Steel to focus on construction.

It is worth mentioning that Qin State is building another railway line, which will be constructed on the axis of the Hexi Valley. This railway will lead to Hangu Pass of Qin State. Thus. The steel from the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Belt can directly reach Xianyang and Xinzheng in the State of Qin, as well as the beams that are likely to open to traffic in the future. The northern railway pressure of Qin will be greatly reduced. At the same time, a dedicated railway transportation line will be freed up for the Qin State to transport steel. This has increased the scale of Qin's steel export and transportation.

The last steel belt is Guanzhong of the Qin State, this belt mainly reflexively expands with Xianyang as the center. The output of steel here is not very large. mainly. Railway transportation needs to transport Taiyuan, or coal from the north, and iron ore from Yiyang to the east. The transportation pressure is very high. Therefore, the output of steel is not very large. But the steel here is mainly satisfied with the military production of the Qin State. The chromium-nickel from Longxi of the Qin State and the newly occupied Simon and other states provided the necessary special metal source for Qin’s gun manufacturing.

At the same time, the manganese ore of Lai Yueshi and the tungsten ore of the south made the mechanical processing industry in Qin extremely developed. The main reason is that the education system of Qin State here is developed. Based on these developed education systems. The steel belt here is mainly machined. The steel produced is mostly military industry and various aerospace equipment. There is another metal here, which is aluminum. This is a new type of metal raw material for making airplanes. These metal raw materials. Qin's aviation development is full of new opportunities.

In addition to steel, there is also the largest cement production base in Qin. All parts of the Qin State are engaged in infrastructure construction. Qin State needs a lot of new building materials. Especially cement. At present, there are only two places in Qin State where cement can be manufactured. One is Qin State Guanzhong, and the other is Qin State Shangdang area. The rapid development of cement in Guanzhong is because Qin State needs a lot of cement. This is market demand. And the Shangdang area. It is because Qin State specifically developed the Zhao State market. It is very close to Handan. Just climb the Taihang Mountains.

Cement is also produced in other places, but the amount is not very large. The main reason is that the demand for cement is not very large. Our own production can basically satisfy the local market, except for that. It is the production of various chemical industrial products in Qin State. The petrochemical industry is concentrated in the northern area of ​​Qin State. Especially in the Yulin area today, there is an oil producing area. Petroleum is mainly used for refining gasoline, diesel, and kerosene is not very useful. Asphalt has a wide range of uses.

These are all heavy industries of the Qin State. Light industry. Mainly concentrated in the north Yinshan area of ​​Qin State. It mainly produces leather, wool and blended fabrics. There is also Guanzhong, which is mainly a variety of fashionable clothing.

In addition. It is Qin Guo Investment. Qin State began to export large-scale capital. Qin State has investment projects to varying degrees in Zhao State, Yan State, and South Korea. These projects are mainly light industry and some heavy industries, and heavy industry mainly produces iron ingots. Then return to Qin State. Qin State produces steel and then sells it to these countries.

Commercial trade. Qin mainly relied on advanced telegraph and telephone communication, and long-distance calls were still rich and military. Long-distance calls cannot be popularized for the time being.

However, Qin's commercial and trade office has information about various places. The emergence of these office spaces put Qin in a leading position in business and trade. Because of the appearance of these offices, Qin was the first to grasp the allocation of resources in various places, and these configurations put Qin in a leading state. Other countries have not yet realized the importance of this kind of office, and they still need to learn.
