"In a battle of equal strength, one can be considered an expert if they are invincible and even defeat the enemy.”
"However, if Great Qin has a battle power that far surpasses that of the six countries and has a famous general to lead the battle, it will be able to suppress them.”
"At that time, no matter how many tricks the other party has, they won't be able to salvage the situation.”
“.........”
This situation was similar to the war between Qin and Wei decades ago.
At that time, Great Qin had not undergone Shang Yang's reform, and its national strength was not very strong. It could only be ranked at an average level among the Seven Kingdoms.
As for the Wei Country's general, Wu Qi, he was proficient in military, legalism, and Confucianism. He had extremely high attainments in internal affairs and military, which strengthened the Wei Country's military strength and created the Wei Country's military system.
At that time, the Qin country was at a disadvantage, and the Wei country had a top-notch special military unit, the Wei Wu soldiers!
The two sides had fought more than seventy battles, and the Qin country had almost never won a single battle. They had directly lost the entire land west of the river and were beaten all the way to Hangu Pass, approaching the capital Xianyang.
"Winning without losing is the ultimate art of war!”
“？？？”
Xue Li slowly typed out a question mark.
What ultimate art of war? Although he was proficient in the Eight Trigrams Formation, he had never led an army to war before. He was still a rookie.
However, in Ying Zheng's eyes, this was the pinnacle of the legendary 'strategy of war!
No matter how many tricks you come up with, I will use the momentum of the Vast King Dao to directly crush you and use absolute strength to directly blow you up. No matter how you jump around, it will be useless.
"Benefactor, could it be that you are the successor of the militarists?”
"No, no, no. I only know a little about the art of war. It's not that exaggerated.”
Naturally, Ying Zheng did not take Xue Li's 'modesty' seriously.
From the simple 'game' earlier, he had already more or less understood Xue Li's astonishing talent in the military. How could he be fooled so easily?
"In short, the art of war has always taught us how to defeat the strong with the weak.”
"However, we never noticed that the strongest art of war is to bully the weak. Wait until I consolidate my foundation and have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Wei Dynasty.”
"When the time comes, we only need to push through them. Who in the six dynasties can resist this army?”
"This is the way to win every battle! It was obviously much better than a situation where there would be risks involved in a scheme.”
“.........”
Xue Li's tone was filled with absolute confidence.
In terms of the art of war, he could only be considered to be above average. He only grasped the Eight Trigrams Formation.
However, I won't compete with you in the art of war now. When I cultivate hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Wei Dynasty and bring the best siege weapons and equipment from ancient times, I'll crush you with absolute strength.
With such an advantage, I can fail countless times. I can even make a comeback many times because of the solid foundation I laid in the early stages.
However, as long as you fail once, I can send you into the abyss.
Listening to Xue Li's confident words, Ying Zheng showed great interest.
"Let's get back to the main topic. What we need to discuss is how to enrich the country, not the art of war.”
"This…"
"The easiest way to make a country rich is to increase the country's taxes.”
"Increase the proportion of taxes?"
"No! It was to increase the income of the people or to find a way to support the country's prosperity.”
With the increase in the income of the people, even if the original taxes were maintained, more taxes could be collected to expand armaments and develop internal affairs.
Finding a way to support the country's prosperity would not only greatly increase the country's strength, but it would also be able to absorb the wealth of the six countries into the Qin country bit by bit. Under this situation, it would be enough to establish victory!
As for increasing the proportion of taxes, that was completely digging his own grave.
When it reached the point where taxes were as fierce as tigers, it would even stimulate the desire of the people to resist. At that time, it would be troublesome to rebel directly.
"Please guide me."
"This road to wealth is very simple. There is only one word-salt.”
During the Warring States Period, all kinds of resources were extremely scarce.
Among the seasonings used in cooking, salt ranked first. It was known as the King of All Tastes.
When cooking, any seasoning could be lacking, but salt was essential. Not only could it satisfy people's taste buds, but it was also a necessary resource to maintain the normal functioning of the human body.
If one didn't eat salt for a long time, they would suffer from loss of appetite, weakness of their limbs, dizziness, and even worse. In other words, people who didn't eat salt for a long time had basically lost their ability to work.
The vast majority of the people ate salt mines that contained a certain amount of poison.
The value of crude salt that had been refined to a certain extent was comparable to gold in this era. Only the rich could afford it.
"Those who get salt get the world!"
"The State of Qin wants to increase its finances by several times in a short period of time.”
" We can only start with 'salt'. This is definitely a profitable industry!”
