The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Look at this, I have the same idea." Meng Yi called several ministers of major departments and handed the telegram to everyone to read. Everyone took the telegram and looked at it.

"Currently, the Qin army needs to wait for reinforcements to arrive before these northern nomadic tribes can enter the Qin territory. But now, the Huns have already fought with each other once. The other side must be extremely nervous, and we cannot let the other side enter. We have to fight for our own

Territory considerations." Meng Yi said.

"At the beginning, I put forward an idea. This idea is that the Qin State's border should be managed by the Qin army. The border should be managed by the merchants, and the merchants should be allowed to have armed rights. In this way, the merchants can expand trade well and at the same time better protect themselves.

"Safety." Meng Yi said while walking back and forth.

"The most important thing is that the Qin State does not need to increase military expenditures. The financial pressure will be greatly reduced." Meng Yi said.

"Yes." The Minister of Finance nodded first. He agreed with this plan. After all, Qin State is currently under great financial pressure. If this matter is in accordance with the military's intention, even if it is discussed with the Prime Minister's Office of Qin State, it will be carried out.

A large amount of military spending continues.

"That's true. Even if we allow those northern nomadic tribes to come in, the cost of resettlement and other expenses will all need to be paid from the financial aspect. The most important thing is that the situation is now developing into an uncontrollable situation. The Qin State

They do not want a war, especially in terms of finance. They do not want a war. Now the Huns are fighting with the northern nomadic tribes, and our Qin army has also provided fire support. This is obviously the attitude of Qin to support. In this way, the Huns

People will definitely take revenge," the finance minister said.

"Are we still afraid of them? They are just our defeated enemies." A security consultant said excitedly.

"The problem is that we are not afraid of them. We are afraid that they will continue to consume like this. If they attack frequently, we will have to strengthen our alert. Military expenditures will definitely increase. If time goes by, we will not be able to bear it," the Finance Minister said.

"Originally, we left some funds to spend on infrastructure construction to stimulate our economy. There are still many places to use money. If all is spent on military expenses, then Qin's finances will inevitably deteriorate extremely. We are not afraid of the nomadic tribes in the north and the Huns.

If they harass us, we are afraid of beating them to death. They are dragging us along and waiting for Qin to spend this time. After Qin has enough money, it can quickly gather strength to completely deal with them. Now is not the time.

” said the Finance Minister.

"That's right." Meng Yi nodded.

"We need the military to adopt a defensive posture as a whole, but the passive defense is too weak. The northern nomadic tribes may go south to fight at any time. Such harassment is a great threat to us. Although we start to fight with them

Trade. Use various materials to make up for their resources. But don’t forget. We have been making money from these people, and they will definitely be dissatisfied with us. Therefore, we need to win over a team from the other side, and the tribal armed forces will come.

Conducting diversionary warfare can greatly reduce our military expenditures, and can also provide a great advantage to our defense. Not only can these businessmen obtain enough benefits, the most important thing is that we can

The line unexpectedly has a reliable defensive warning area. In this way, Qin State can further reduce its military expenditure. Qin State's finances can quickly spend this period. This is very important to Qin State." Meng Yi said.

"Well, what the Prime Minister said makes sense. However, the military may not agree to our request. In doing so, we are seizing power. Our civilian officials have launched an unprecedented conflict with the military on the issue of military expenditures.

If such a plan is proposed at this time, I am afraid that the entire Qin military will gather at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion to beat us up. By then, we will not be able to beat those soldiers with thick arms and thighs." The Minister of Economic Affairs said in embarrassment.

"Yes." Meng Yi just smiled. This is indeed true. There is a great contradiction between the military and the Qin civil servants. This contradiction still existed happily for a period of time after Shangwen came to power, but after the reduction of military expenditures

After that, the situation in Qin began to get more and more intense. Up to now, the two were at war with each other over the issue of military expenditures. If the King of Qin had not acted as a powerful mediator in the middle, I am afraid that there would have been an open war between the two.

"I know the consequences of doing this. However, doing this is the most beneficial to Qin. When we first started trading with the border states around Qin, we had such an idea. Because the surrounding situation is extremely complicated.

, we know very little, only these businessmen are willing to do it, and we cannot provide larger military expenditures to support the military in doing so. Therefore, we can only rely on this.

Relying on the power of businessmen. The power of businessmen can be controlled and can exert a lot of autonomy. Therefore, I decided that in this matter, I will take such measures, regardless of whether the military objects or agrees.

Merchant arming must continue. Merchants have developed into armed merchant groups. We should not oppose them, but should support them because it is most beneficial to Qin." Meng Yi said.

Speaking of which, the Minister of Finance is supportive, the Minister of Economy is worried, and the Minister of Transportation does not know what to do. Because the civilian officials present know what kind of situation they will face. Their opponent is the military. The military will definitely impose

More pressure. This is a power grab, a power grab from the military. This is unbelievable.

.And there is great uncertainty. The most difficult thing is that the contradiction between the Qin civil servants and the military will rise to a new level. The military's powerful weapon to attack the civil servant group is military spending, and they will use the name of war

to provide military expenditures, while civilian officials are in charge of military expenditures. The conflict between the two sides revolves around military expenditures.

Now, the civil servants have taken a powerful counterattack. In the name of reducing military expenditures, they will give merchants greater convenience in arming, and even divide the military border lines between the two sides. Once this happens, Qin will focus on military expenditures.

There will be more battles in the world, and this will also touch the King of Qin

The interests of the three have formed a subtle relationship with each other. At the same time, they are full of contradictions. This has never been encountered by the Qin State before. This is a brand new challenge for the Qin State. Meng Yi thinks it is not necessary.

He has so many considerations. He just wants to cut military spending now and cannot increase it any more.
