The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 407: State acquisition of land

"First of all, the Qilian Mountains and Hexi Corridor you mentioned. The problem here is the biggest." Wang Jian first took out a simple map and pointed it out.

"What's the problem?" Shang Wen and Wei Liao sat down and asked together.

"The Hexi Corridor is very narrow. The mountains on both sides can easily be guarded by the enemy. We have already occupied one side of the Hexi Corridor. But the other side. We still have no occupation. Our army is on the west side. If the Qiang people on the Qilian Mountains suddenly send troops. Occupy the Hexi Corridor. Our army was choked by the neck. Reinforcement, supplies, nothing can be supplied." Wang Jian said.

"This is indeed a big problem. General Wang. I heard that security companies and trading companies are making trouble there. There should be no problem, right?" Wei Liao asked.

“It’s because of the fierce disturbance that I said there is a problem here. Our people, especially those security companies, are very interested in arresting people. They attacked the Qiang people on the high ground in droves, and those Qiang people were killed. We all ran away. Our people came back after being arrested. Then the Qiang came back. We arrested again and repeated this way. This place has never been ours.” Wang Jian said.

Shang Wen looked at the map carefully. In his memory. It seems to have passed the Qilian Mountains. There are high plateaus. The air on the plateau is relatively thin, lack of oxygen, and the living environment is harsh. It is difficult for immigrants to choose such a place. It can be said that birds don't **** when they go to this place.

But then again. Wang Jian pointed out a serious problem. In history, the most critical point for several powerful dynasties to control the Western Regions was to be able to control the Hexi Corridor. But with their decline, the surrounding nomadic tribes only needed to fill the long and narrow Hexi Corridor, and the entire Western Regions became an isolated island. Moreover, the special terrain of the Hexi Corridor is not conducive to defense. But this long and narrow Hexi Corridor is very important to the Qin Army, especially the Qin State.

Wang Jian suddenly discovered this major issue while considering the issue of withdrawing troops. The special terrain of the Hexi Corridor is not conducive to defense, but conducive to the offensive of the Qiang people. Wang Jian is not the kind of person who waits for others to attack. Qin Jun has always taken the initiative to attack others instead of waiting for others to beat himself.

The three of them suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. The long and narrow Hexi Corridor is Qin’s throat leading to the control of the Western Regions. Although there is no problem now, it is not said that there is no problem. The Qiang people became a potential opponent of Qin. This is the advantage of setting up a general staff. Soldiers often view neighbors from the enemy's perspective. They don't care if you are friendly or not. Only by controlling the throat and hitting you severely can they be completely relieved.

"General Wang is right. The security guards and trading companies have done too much." Shang Wen said. Since only slaves were worth money, they madly caught slaves. As for the land, the Qin army had not yet digested such a large piece of land. These lands have become a burden instead. Since then, they have repeatedly attacked the Qiang tribe on the edge of the Qilian Mountains or in a deeper position. In order to catch slaves, he has no interest in land.

"But on the other hand, we did not do the right thing. We only considered the importance of slaves and ignored the huge land. The population is just the plants above, and as long as they have seeds and land, they will still multiply. If we want to be safe, we must occupy the land on which they live." Shang Wen said.

"Send troops?" Wei Liao asked directly.

Shang Wen shook his head.

"No, we don't need to send troops. I think we have a better way." Shang Wen said.

"What way?" Wang Jian and Wei Liao asked.

"Buy land. Sell land." Shang Wen said.

"Buy land, sell land." Wang Jian and Wei Liao said unexpectedly.

"Yes, we spend money to buy these land from those security and trading companies. In their view, land is redundant, but for us, land is necessary. Land is also a kind of wealth." Shang Wen said.

"After acquiring these lands, we will sell them again. Sell those immigration states. In this way, we can not only make a price difference, but also get a huge amount of land. In this way, we don't need to send troops on a large scale, and we can continue to acquire land with energy. Our army just needs to keep advancing and garrison." Shang Wen said.

"Miao, Miao. Miao." Wei Liao said excitedly. In fact, what Shangwen is thinking about is an upgraded version of Shangwen's original land policy. The State of Qin sent his army to lay down a large piece of land. Ownership is the state. Immigrants spend money to buy land. In fact, the state privatizes state-owned land. This way. The country can not only increase the population, but also control a large piece of land. The Qin army is driving away the original residents and establishing their own residential spot on the new land. This is very cost-effective. Compared with several dynasties, they did a very poor job on the issue of land control, and they did not allow the people to play freely. And the government has no ability to digest these lands in a timely manner. As a result, these lands have become other people's wedding dresses.

Drive out a resident and left by himself. The vacant land soon attracted another resident to enter. In this way, there will be endless wars with neighbors. Not to mention the fact that you can't get development, you still have to face the threat of being swallowed by the other party all the time. This is very uneconomical. And now Shangwen learns from the land policy of the United States and easily resolves this problem.

The price paid by Shangwen can be said to be a non-profit transaction. The Qin State is developing very fast, and he needs a huge amount of money to support it, especially as the trade is getting bigger and bigger. The demand for money is very large. But gold is very limited. Paper money can be printed infinitely, no one knows how many more paper money you have printed. Shangwen can buy it from the security trading company as long as he orders the printing of more banknotes. The price must be low. In fact, it is also very cheap. An acre of land is only ten minutes. Land can be expensive there. After acquiring these lands. Then resell it. What is sold is only land that can be cultivated and grazing. A lot of other land was left to the government. Such a deal is a bargain. The State of Qin won such a large land without moving a single soldier. This will be the most cost-effective business in the world. Shang Wen made a fortune for Qin.

Wei Liao reacted quickly. He quickly realized that the biggest beneficiary of this was Qin himself. Such a sale. It's really a bargain.

Wang Jian still doesn't understand. Wei Liao explained to Wang Jian. Wang Jian gave a thumbs up all at once. Shang Wen's idea is comparable to Qin Jun's two hundred thousand. Shang Wen smiled slightly. I just did one thing that was good for all parties.
