The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Our reinforcements are here. Sir." A second-class soldier reported to the second lieutenant.

"Really? That's great," the ensign said excitedly.

"How many people are here?" the second lieutenant asked immediately.

"It looks like a company has come," the private soldier reported.

"A company!" the ensign cried out in surprise.

"Yes, sir, just one company, one cavalry company," the second class soldier said.

"A cavalry company. There are tens of thousands of people on the opposite side." The ensign obviously didn't have much confidence.

"Sir. What shall we do?" the second class asked.

"What to do? It's coming. It's better than not coming. Just wait." said the ensign.

"What about the current situation?" the second class asked worriedly.

"Wait for the order above. We can defend the entire line of defense." The ensign said.

The fishing village where Shangwen is located. There are mountains of goods now. All kinds of goods are piled up in the fishing village, which obviously has become a temporary warehouse.

"This will soon develop into an important port. Then it will be a city. A coastal city." Shangwen looked at the merchant ships that kept docking, and knew that this place would inevitably develop into an important port in the future.

"City?" Mo Li asked.

"Yes. A city." Shang Wen said while looking at the merchant ship.

"Have you seen those ships?" Shang Wen said, pointing to the merchant ships.

"I see, what's the matter?" Mo Li asked.

"These are the general trend, the general trend." Shang Wen said while looking at the merchant ship in the distance.

"This is the general trend?" Mo Li asked.

"Yes. You can see that in just a few days, two merchant fleets came here. I don’t know how other places are, but I know. This is a trend. There must be a problem in one place. Let these merchant ships come to the northern Qi State area. And these areas will allow Qi State to develop. Wait. Wait for a while and there will be results." Shang Wen said.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin." Just when Shang Wen was complacent, the patriarch brought several people to Shang Wen and said.

"What's the matter? Patriarch." Shang Wen said.

"Qi Jun. An adult from Qi Jun," said the patriarch.

"Oh. What are they doing here?" Shang Wen asked.

"Tax," the patriarch said.

"Tax." Shang Wen said.

"En. I'll see him." Shang Wen thought for a while. Decided to visit them.

The official wears a plate-shaped hat. Like most officials, Shangwen couldn't tell from these flat hats how big an official was.

"Are you an official of the State of Qi?" Shang Wen asked directly after looking around.

"Yes. I don't know who the husband is?" The other party said with his hands folded.

"I am the prime minister of Qin State, Qin Shangwen." Shangwen said directly.

"This." The other party obviously didn't expect Shang Wen to have such an identity. And besides surprise, such an identity is also suspicious.

"Don't doubt it. He is." Mo Li on the side saw that the other party was hesitant. Immediately spoke.

"Oh." The Qi State official calmed down a little.

"Do you come here to collect taxes?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yes. Sir. We are only on orders." The official said helplessly.

"En. How much do you plan to collect? How to collect taxes?" Shang Wen asked.

"One third," the official said frankly. Shang Wen nodded after listening.

"The relative expropriation is not much." Shang Wen said such a sentence silently. Because he knew that the expropriation in Chu and Zhao was even larger than this ratio.

"This." The official smiled bitterly. In fact, this ratio has already far exceeded one-third when it is actually levied, and the officials underneath often increase their weight privately. Such a situation. Shang Wen still understands.

"Not much," Mo Li exclaimed, who was on the side.

After finishing speaking, Mo Libai glanced at Shang Wen, apparently very dissatisfied with Shang Wen being able to say such things.

"Who is your chief?" Shang Wen went on to ask such a question.

"Sir?" the official asked.

"It's your lord." Shang Wen asked.

"Our lord is General Tian. Lord Tian Heng." The official said.

"En. Tax collection. You'd better not do it now. I hope your lord can come to see me. I want to talk to him. Talk about tax collection. Because this matter is related to the grand plan of the Qi State. "Shang Wen said.

"Okay. I'll do it now." The official nodded and said.

"En. You can leave." Shang Wen said.

After the official left. Mo Li couldn't wait to get angry at Shang Wen.

"One-third of the tax. Quite a lot. They will make the people here unable to live." Mo Li knew the depth of this. Immediately after the official left, he lost his temper at Shang Wen.

"Okay. Okay." Shang Wen waved his hand and said.

"I know. But, telling the official who can't make a decision about this is not there at all. Even if we don't pay, it's impossible," Shang Wen said.

"So. I want to talk to them now. Talk to someone they can make a decision." Shang Wen said.

"I've seen Tian Heng, and I've seen it when I was in Qin State. This person can still talk about. And he must be someone who can do great things for Qi State." Shang Wen said.

"Um. This..." Mo Li suddenly didn't know what to say.

"This matter can only be resolved this way. Negotiate with someone who can decide everything." Shang Wen said.

"Oh. Then. What do you plan to do?" Mo Li asked.

"I think I should talk to Tian Heng. I plan to provide Qin's style for him to refer to. Let him have a comparison. This person has been to Qin. He knows the strength of Qin. And at present. Qi is in a very difficult situation. Great. If Tian Heng wants to change all of this, he must accept all these things." Shang Wen said.

"You have a word. How do you say it?" Shang Wen said at this time.

"What?" Mo Li asked.

"How do you say it?" Shang Wen said.

"That's right. Poor is what has changed." Shangwen knew about history, but let him speak out. He has no way at all.

"What becomes poor?" Mo Li asked.

"Anyway, it probably means that you will only consider changes when you are poor. Only when you change can you change the current situation. The current situation in Qi is like this. It's just that, I don't know how to say this sentence." Shang Wen shook his head.

"Who knows what you are talking about? But you have such an idea. It's good." Mo Li said.

"From here, I think you, the Prime Minister of the State of Qin, can still think of this. Considering the civilians here. Not bad." Mo Li praised.
