The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Today's Qin State's land area has exceeded the land area of ​​any previous expansion era of Qin State, but Qin State's digestion of these land areas has been unprecedentedly slow. Qin State needs to operate on these lands for at least fifty years before it can truly

Let these lands belong to the State of Qin." Wei Liao said to the King of Qin at this time.

"Today's battle, Qin is equivalent to fighting on its own land. Qin has not digested these lands so far. This can be seen from the transportation lines and nearby areas controlled by Qin. In this battle, Qin can rely on fast railways to fight

, complete the logistics supply. However, after our army is far away from the logistics supply line, it will develop rapidly

It has become a situation that is difficult for us to control. Even though our frontline soldiers are brave, they cannot win the final war. The cost of our war has been far higher than the cost of our war along the railway line. The current situation is not good for us, so we will

The war should be stopped as the Prime Minister said." Wei Liao said at this time.

"Well, stop the war." King Qin said at this time.

"The reason is that the cost of war is very high. If we follow the Prime Minister's method and adopt peaceful methods, such as using bribery to instigate internal war conflicts among the enemy, and using economic assistance and economic and trade methods, our communication lines can quickly

Extending to the areas they control, and with the impact of these areas, the cost of using military means to change our current unfavorable situation is too high." Wei Liao said.

At this time, Naofumi was discussing a strange report, which was about food and market development.

"Currently, Qin's grain output has continued to surge, especially in Qin's grain-producing areas. After the use of chemical fertilizers and some mechanical equipment, Qin's grain output has surged to the point that we can squander it for many years." The Minister of Agriculture said at this time.

"The surge in food has led to an unfavorable situation." The Minister of Agriculture reported again at this time.

"As a result, our grain futures have been at a low price for a period of time." Naofumi said at this time.

"Yes, our food has affected the entire six countries." The Minister of Agriculture continued.

"Our food prices are extremely low, and there are constant wars and turmoil in the six countries. Our food has been provided to these countries, regions, and people, allowing them to meet their food needs." said the Minister of Agriculture.

"Yes." Shangwen said while holding the report. Such a figure was indeed mentioned in this report. The latest population figure of Qin State only exceeded 10 million, including a large number of newborns. In addition, Qin State's immigrants

The number just exceeded 10 million. However, Qin’s grain production met the needs of 50 million people. The extra grain was used by Qin in addition to war preparation reserves.

In addition, there is still a large amount of grain backlogged in the Qin market. If this part of grain remains backlogged for a long time, it will pose a great hidden danger to Qin's grain output, because the long-term low price of grain will have a greater impact on farmers' production.

Shangwen was very clear about this, so Shangwen ordered that Qin's grain be exported quickly.

"If we had not exported these grains to the six countries, I am afraid that our grains would have been overstocked, causing great losses to our farmers. We must look at this correctly," the Minister of Agriculture said.

"Exporting our excess food to the six countries will save our agriculture. At the same time, it will prevent anyone from being hungry within our own race." Naofumi said at this time.

"But Prime Minister, I totally agree with saving our agriculture. And this is indeed effective. If we don't export these grains," the Minister of Agriculture said.

"But, Prime Minister, hunger still exists in the six countries, and we have not saved those people," the Minister of Agriculture said.

"Our grain is very cheap and available in large quantities. Not only that, but we also have quality advantages. We can have many food processing plants, which can quickly process grain into semi-finished products and finished products, but these foods have not arrived.

We want it to reach people," the agriculture minister said.

"Well, what do you mean?" Naofumi asked at this time.

"What I mean is that the food from Qin did not reach the people we hoped to reach. We hoped to reach the people of the Six Kingdoms, but these foods did not arrive. In fact, the only people who can consume these foods are the army, and the army is our

The real main force of consumption. And those civilians have no purchasing power to buy our food. It can be said that they have no ability to consume the cheap food we provide." The Minister of Agriculture said at this time.

"What?" Naofumi made a serious mistake in his logic at this time. He could not understand what the Minister of Agriculture said at all.

"I can't understand why?" Naofumi asked in disbelief at this time.

"It's really difficult to understand." The Minister of Agriculture said at this time.

"But, this is a fact, Prime Minister." said the Minister of Agriculture.

"The people of the Six Nations cannot afford our food at all. It can be said that they are a group with no spending power at all. The coins in their hands are different. At the same time, their spending power is very low. Most of their things only have some necessary items."

They only buy things from the market, such as salt. These things they have to consume, and most of the clothes they wear are made by themselves. Very few of them use the goods we provide, such as finished clothes or cloth.

." said the Minister of Agriculture.

"What's the reason?" Naofumi asked at this time.

"Their purchasing power is very low?" the Minister of Agriculture said at this time.

"Oh. I understand." Naofumi suddenly realized at this time that Naofumi came from a future society after all. Many such things have happened repeatedly in history. Production and consumption are an interdependent relationship. If one party is imbalanced, it will inevitably cause a big disaster.

Crisis. This kind of crisis has been staged many times in human history. Factories produce too much food, but consumption is very limited. In this way, factories will close, but people still have no ability to consume, and these goods can only be destroyed.

This results in a large-scale waste of social resources.

"The imbalance between supply and demand will lead to serious things happening. This kind of thing has never happened to us in Qin, but now we must admit it," Naofumi said at this time.

"So, Prime Minister, what should we do now?" said the Minister of Agriculture.

Naofumi looked at the report at this time and said. What the Minister of Agriculture said is true, an indisputable fact. According to Qin’s grain export records, Qin’s main consumer is still the military, that is, state procurement. In addition to these,

In addition to these, there are purchases by a small number of merchants, but the people of the Six Nations simply cannot afford to buy these grains. This is a fact. Naofumi is very clear about it.

"The markets of the six countries are still a small part of the market. The other part is controlled by the powerful. The market is their country. We are simply expanding our production capacity, and our production efficiency is improving rapidly. This will soon

It will cause us to produce excess." Naofumi said.

"So, we need to develop more markets to meet our production needs." Shangwen said at this time.

"If market demand is insufficient, it will lead to insufficient consumption. This is too detrimental to us." Naofumi said.

"But how to develop the market?" the Minister of Agriculture said at this time.

"Me." Naofumi waved his arms at this time.

"Unless we interfere in the politics of other countries and let them join in, there is no other way." Naofumi said at this time.

Consumer demand is the first demand for expanding production. Naofumi knows this very well, so he needs to expand demand, but the market demand in Qin is not very strong. Even though the market in Qin was developed earlier than the market in the six countries, developing a mature market

, the energy required is very huge. However, developing a potential market costs very little.

However, it is indeed an indisputable fact that the markets of the six countries are underdeveloped. The low consumption level of people in the six countries is a serious problem.

"This is a telegram request from our front line. The situation on the front line is very bad. The logistics supplies are in chaos, and the combat troops cannot rest. This puts our operations in an unfavorable situation." A lieutenant colonel staff officer was on the train.

Report to Wang Jian.

"Yes." Wang Jian nodded. Wang Jian was on the train returning to Xianyang, Qin State.

"So, the Prime Minister asked us to withdraw our troops?" Wang Jian asked.

"Yes, according to the content of the Prime Minister's report, the cost of our war is too high." said the lieutenant colonel staff officer.

"Especially in terms of logistical supplies, our logistical supplies are too bad. Being far away from railway lines, the consumption of supplies is really serious. Based on preliminary judgment based on the data provided, we need five soldiers to transport supplies to the front line.

, and these supplies are actually less than what one soldier needs for one day's combat, and it will take five soldiers more than three days to complete it," the lieutenant colonel said.

"The situation of the war makes us feel very unfavorable, but how will this war end? We have no formal contact with the enemy." Wang Jian said at this time.

"So, we discussed and ended the war unilaterally. We can unilaterally declare the end of the war. Then leave some garrison troops and build a series of fortresses, so that we can declare the end of the war. Although it costs a lot to build fortresses,

, This can end a lot of things." The lieutenant colonel staff said at this time.

"It's easy to start a war, but it's hard to end it." Wang Jian said at this time.

"Unilaterally ending the war?" Wang Jian asked with a smile.
