"You said, what did Wang Shang last laugh at?" Meng Yi asked Shangwen in the car.

"What are you laughing at?" Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi and said.

"Perhaps, the king understands what I mean." Shang Wen said.

"What do you mean?" Meng Yi asked.

"It is the control of the railway." Shang Wen said.

"Control of the railway?" Meng Yi asked.

"We must keep the ownership of this railway. We must know that if we master the railway, we can master the arteries of others." Meng Yi suggested.

"Yes. We know this truth, don't others know it?" Shang Wen asked rhetorically.

"This." Meng Yi nodded.

"If it were me, I would not give up. After all, the impact of this thing on countries is too great." Meng Yi said.

"That's why I said to give up in the court hall." Shang Wen said.

"Give up!" Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and exclaimed.

"Yes. Only by giving up can Qin finally win what he wants." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"This." Meng Yi still felt a little reluctant, after all, such a thing seemed to him. It's really hard to accept.

"Have you ever fished?" Shang Wen asked Meng Yi at this time.

"No," Meng Yi replied.

"We are going to go fishing now." Shang Wen said.

"Know?" Shang Wen said at this time.

"At present, the resistance of the nobles of various countries is very high. If Qin wants to build railways in various countries, think about it, if they have no interest, how can they agree to let us go, if we get it. The resistance behind it will be very big. "Shang Wen said worriedly.

"But, if we take the initiative to abandon something, think about it. What will happen to them?" Shang Wen said at this time.

"En. They will gather quickly for some benefit." Meng Yi replied.

"Yes. I think the fishing metaphor is a bit wrong. It should be flies. Annoying flies. They are greedy, just like those flies. We can only gather them together and release a piece of meat, and finally we can kill them. Flies. In this way, we can solve the problem once and for all. But if we do it ourselves, the consequences may not achieve the results expected by Qin." Shang Wen said.

"En. I understand." Meng Yi nodded and said.

"Qin State has a lot of things left in this way," Meng Yi said.

"Yes. That's what I want to say. The only thing I can do now is. As long as we finally have sufficient funds. There is a sufficient market environment. We can solve all this. Let them do it." Shang Wen said.

"At this time, I understand why the king laughed so loudly." Meng Yi said.

"En. Yes. That's it." Shang Wen said.

Zhao State of Handan. A large number of Zhao nobles gathered in Li Mu's mansion. These nobles have a lot of land in their hands, and everyone has a lot of furniture. It can be said like this. More than 70% of Zhao State's wealth is gathered in their hands.

"What does Li Mu mean by inviting us here?" said a middle-aged nobleman, putting on his sleeves.

"Who knows." Another middle-aged nobleman said.

"This Li Mu is not going to attack us." An old nobleman in his fifties said worriedly.

"Huh." The two looked at each other disdainfully. Then stop talking. In the hall, many people gathered three or five to discuss why Li Mu invited them.

"I don't think there are soldiers out there, but there are, and my Musketeers are not vegetarian," said a nobleman with big yellow teeth vulgarly. And the people around are as far away as possible, because he has severe bad breath.

"That's the same." Standing in the distance heard the noble with big yellow teeth say, a young white-faced noble nodded and said.

"Unexpectedly, this stinky mouth could still say such things. It's really embarrassing for him." The two white-faced nobles nodded and said.

"My people are also outside. In order to prevent Li Mu from doing anything to us, I also installed two artillery pieces on the car. If the situation is not right, I will immediately retreat. If you don't believe it, Li Mu can still block our way out." Both Said the white-faced nobleman.

"En." The others nodded.

The son Jia walked back and forth, listening to the noble's discussion. For such talks. Young Master Jia was very disappointed. How can this kind of thinking cheer up the country of Zhao. How can I resist the Qin army. Gongzi Jia didn't feel worried about Zhao Guo's future.

"General. The gentlemen outside. What they say is too ugly." A sergeant in charge of water delivery complained.

"Well, I see." Li Mu just said lightly. Then I went out.

"Hmph." Several nobles saw Li Mu coming in. He snorted. Then the nobles stopped talking.

"I have seen the prime minister." The nobles first greeted them politely.

"I have seen you all." Li Mu also said politely.

"Sit down, everyone," Li Mu said, waving his arms. Then sit down slowly. After the nobles are seated. Shang Wen looked at the nobleman. In Handan City, most powerful nobles are almost there. Several of the princes who were entrusted, the old nobles also appeared here.

"Today. Everyone, please come. I'm discussing something with you." Li Mu stopped looking. Then began today's topic.

"At present, Zhao Guo borrowed a 300,000 gold loan from Qin State. Everyone knows about this. The government cannot recover Zhao Guo with only 300,000 gold money. Zhao Guo needs more funds, Therefore, the State of Zhao decided to introduce foreign capital from the State of Qin. It is the capital of the State of Qin." Li Mu has no plan to make false claims with these nobles, nor does he intend to give these nobles more time. He thinks it will start directly. This is his usual military style.

"This." The nobles were surprised. Although they had already understood a series of terms outside. When they were still a little surprised, they were surprised. I didn't expect this incident to come back so quickly.

After Young Master Jia heard the news, He He showed a happy expression.

Li Mu saw the surprised expressions of the nobles. These are all in his expectation. But he won't care about it, time is running out. Qin people gave him very little time. The people of Zhao State gave him less time. He needs a lot of time to complete this thing.

"Qin’s investment targets are Zhao’s economic entities. That is to say, Zhao must have its own company like Qin. Everyone is the richest, most powerful, and most wealthy person in Zhao’s country. I think, Everyone should understand what I mean. I want you to set up a company. Then introduce Qin's capital. This is good for everyone." Li Mu said.

"This. I don't know what the advantages of the Prime Minister said?" An old nobleman couldn't wait to ask when he heard that there was a benefit.

"The advantage is to revitalize your assets. At present, you have a large number of fields and a large population. The population can build factories and work. The land can be planted faster and more with a small number of people. In addition, there are coal mines. With coal mines. , Your wealth will only increase but not decrease. These people from the Qin country will help you do it." Li Mu said.

I heard what Li Mu said. Those nobles in the Zhao country didn't buy it, because what Li Mu said was the same as he didn't say. This can't blame Li Mu. After all, Li Mu didn't know the specific details. He came back hastily just to convey such news. He didn't know what kind of results could be achieved after the establishment of the company.

"Oh." The other nobles sighed without pain. This oh, obviously, is to express regret for Li Mu's statement. They will not accept Li Mu's proposal. After all, they don't know how much benefit they will get?

"Then, Prime Minister. If we introduce foreign capital, won't we have more preferential taxation?" Gong Zijia asked at this time.

"Yes. About 12%." Li Mu replied.

"Huh. We don't have to pay taxes on these fields." A nobleman said loudly.

"That's right. We don't need to pay taxes, we still care about so much. Work can make money? I think it is a dream, right?" Da Huang Ya said loudly. Hear the rhubarb teeth opening. Everyone avoided because of the stench. They simply can't bear such a smell.

"Tax must be collected. This tax is already very low." Li Mu said solemnly.

"Oh," the nobles said perfunctorily. Owning land, they can get a lot of benefits without paying taxes. And the work, or the construction of the factory work. They also have to pay taxes. In this kind of business, nobles can use their toes to know which is good and which is advantageous.

Obviously, the resistance from the nobility is still great. An unpleasant thought surged in Li Mu's heart. Then the nobles began to wrestle. They unanimously opposed the payment of taxes. It can be said that as long as the tax was paid, they would object. The nobles’ life mainly came from their fiefs, and the agricultural income of the land in the fiefs was one of their main incomes. In addition, their fiefdoms do not have to pay taxes, and their benefits can be greatly expanded if they do not need to pay taxes. This is an advantage that businessmen do not have. Therefore, the nobles do not want to pay taxes by themselves. Everyone is very consistent on the issue of tax payment.

Such discussions ended up unhappy. The son Jia thoughtfully walked out of Li Mu's prime minister's house. But Li Mu reluctantly returned to his room.

"Those nobles!" Li Zuoche said angrily.

"Stop talking." Li Mu quietly stopped Li Zuoche at this time. Li Zuoche did not continue to complain when he saw that the prime minister was like this.

"Telegraph to Prime Minister Qin, we won't work here. Give him a detailed report and let him figure out a solution." Li Mu was helpless, so he decided to push the matter to Shang Wen. Maybe Shangwen has any good way to solve this matter.

"En. Prime Minister." Li Zuoche nodded and agreed.
