"My lord, this is a great benefit." An aristocratic official of Zhao State stood up and agreed loudly.

"Yes, my lord, I have never opened up territory in the country of Zhao before." A nobleman stood up and said loudly at this time.

"Zhao Guo faced Qin's request for military assistance, and I, Zhao Guo, might open up territory in a place unexpectedly by Zhao Guo. The minister believed that Zhao had no reason to refuse. I don't know why the prime minister would refuse such a good idea." The nobleman looked at Li Mu and said.

"Yeah. Qin is good to Zhao. Qin can open up territory, and so can we Zhao." An older minister stood up and said.

When Li Mu saw all the ministers waving their arms at him in protest, Li Mu felt very funny. The reason is simple. Li Mu believes that this matter can be postponed. Especially on the issue of colonies, Li Mu believed that Zhao should not be too involved in this matter. Li Mu resolutely opposed, but Li Mu may have expressed his purpose too much. As a result, all the ministers objected, and tried to speak out the various benefits of sending troops, especially the colonization, which had a great influence on the State of Zhao.

"My lord, this colony will become a part of our country of Zhao in the future. Although this colony is outside of our country of Zhao, our country of Zhao can make up for the deficiencies of our country of Zhao from the colony. In the future, Being able to attack and invade the Qin army from the flank makes it difficult for the Qin army to form a suppression situation. This is beneficial to my country, Zhao." A minister said to Li Mu.

It is true that what the other party said is reasonable, but Li Mu believes that the colony land given to Zhao by Qin is a barren place, and the Qiang people in the mountains are difficult to tame. Under such circumstances, the occupation of the colony by Zhao does not make much sense. .

"Master," Li Mu said to King Zhao.

"Aiqing. The widow thinks it makes sense." Zhao Wang said to Li Mu at this time.

"Your Majesty. The land that Qin gave to Zhao's colony was extremely barren. Occupying such a land would not have much profit for Zhao." Li Mu persuaded.

"No, the widows want to occupy this land. It's not that it's barren and won't occupy it. It's how to use this land after it's occupied." Zhao Wang said uncharacteristically.

That monarch has an extreme desire for land. King Zhao is the same, and King Zhao also hopes that he can open up the frontiers and expand the land like they were the first kings. This is a great achievement. Such achievements will still enter the ancestral temple and will occupy a very prominent position. Regarding such a benefit from the State of Qin, Zhao Wang felt that there was no reason to refuse. In contrast, Zhao Wang felt that Li Mu was a bit more conservative at this time.

"Aiqing. The widow thinks that the ministers are right about this matter. It seems that Li Aiqing is a little conservative." Zhao Wang said with a smile.

"Master." Li Mu still wanted to say something. But it's time for Wang Zhao to wave his hand to signal Li Mu not to speak any more.

"The widow has already decided. I will soon decide to send troops to the State of Qin. Regardless of whether the State of Qin can stop my Zhao Jun in the end, my Army of Zhao will definitely be able to occupy the colony of the State of Zhao. Open up my own colony of the State of Zhao." Zhao Wang said. To.

Li Mu still wanted to object, but there was no way. Wang Zhao's decision has been made, and there is no point in opposing it.

Qin State Xianyang.

"Zhao's colony is on the side of our Hexi Corridor, so the threat to us is too great." For the telegram sent by Zhao Guo. Wang Jian thinks something is wrong. Wang Jian knows very little about this, because Shangwen had planned it from the beginning. Although there were already countries that allowed countries to open up their own colonies around the western regions of Qin, when things really came. . Wang Jian still found it difficult to accept.

"Widows don't want to see it either." King Qin said to Wang Jian.

"However, things must be resolved in this way. The Prime Minister is right. Qin is currently unable to use its own power to solve these problems. Qin needs to develop and consolidate the eight states we have obtained." King Qin said calmly.

Although the Qin State has digested the eight states so far, the construction work in the eight states still cannot proceed well, and the unoccupied areas are relinquished to Zhao Guo to solve it. This is also the case before the Qin State. It was an important resolution in the past. Therefore, King Qin agreed to such a resolution.

"The colonial area occupied by the Kingdom of Zhao is a plateau. There is thin air there, coupled with the sparse population of the Qiang people in the mountains, and the vast land. I think Zhao’s cavalry can play a role. As for business, that place will become Zhao’s tastelessness. ." Shang Wen said.

"Chicken ribs?" Wang Jian asked.

"Yes." Shang Wen replied.

"There is not much population in that place, and it is extremely difficult to develop." Shang Wen said.

"In addition, Zhao State cannot control traffic, and Qin State has strong production capacity. Therefore, I think that the area can be let out, and at least the Zhao State people can digest it by themselves." Shangwen said.

"My lord, do this. On the issue of national security." Wang Jian asked.

"Such worry is not unreasonable, few people understand." King Qin said.

"However, if you don't do this, the current predicament cannot be resolved." Qin Wang said.

"Can Zhao's colony be smoothly returned to our Qin State?" King Qin said.

"It's up to the prime minister." King Qin looked at Shang Wen and said.

Regarding the issue of granting Zhao a colony, this was raised by Shangwen himself, and of course it must be solved by Shangwen himself. In this way, the issue of the Zhao colony becomes a political and economic issue rather than a pure military issue. For military methods, the frequency of Qin's use has been very small. King Qin was also very clear. The easy use of military means will bring a great financial burden. Although military means are straightforward, the cost issue must be carefully considered.

Qin’s war has been completely transformed into an economic behavior.

Qi State, Binhai.

"Wei's problem, I didn't expect it to be so difficult." Tian Heng said after seeing the report.

Tian Heng did not expect that Wei’s problem was not a simple process of pacifying the riots. The biggest difficulty was not military pacification, but how to appease the opposing civilians.

"Lord, at present, we should find a way to gather a large amount of food, otherwise Qi will lose the initiative in the problem of Wei." The counsellors don't know what happened to Wei and what kind of attitudes of the parties are. It's also not clear. However, one thing is certain.

That is, to solve the current problems, there must be a lot of food, and food is the root of the current problems.

However, a little counselor vaguely felt that the Wei State issue might have a lot of potential power.

"Food can only be imported from Qin. Other places cannot meet our needs, but buying food requires a lot of funds. At present, Qin does not have such a lot of funds to meet our requirements." Tian Heng said worriedly.

"Yeah, without funds, we can't do anything. Such restrictions are indeed very big." said the counselor.

"In this way, Qi will not be able to interfere with the Wei State issue." Tian Heng felt that we should withdraw from the Wei State issue at this time. It was not that the Wei State issue did not want to be resolved, but that Qi State himself did not have such strength.

The strategist himself is not willing to say so much about such a decision.

Qin State Xianyang, on the futures market.

"The price of wheat rose to two and a half dollars. This has returned to the price of a year ago. This is the first time such a situation has occurred."

"En." Li Wen nodded looking at the wheat price chart.

The price trend of Qin State wheat has been staying in two and a half for a long time in the past year. Although there were several important drops in the middle, the prices did not go down much. At the same time, the prices of other futures were also in a state of decline, and other products fell sharply. For example, the price of copper ore fell greatly. The reason was that the purchase demand of Qin enterprises decreased a little, and the arms trade began to decrease. Especially in terms of the demand for artillery, the price of iron ore has risen a little, but the overall price has fallen because of the increase in market supply. The use of explosives in mining ore has greatly accelerated the demand for iron ore, and such demand and supply has caused the price of iron ore to drop greatly. But the price of wheat makes Li Wen very interesting.

"This is not right." Li Wen said while looking at the trend chart.

"In recent years, there has been no decline. If he followed the original idea, he should have fallen." Li Wen said to himself while looking at the trend chart.

Li Wen began to think about this question carefully. Lee Wen has a good test method is to sell short, but the power of short selling is very small. The price drop is very small. At this time, Li Wen began to think, if this is the case, the least resistance to the price trend should be rising, and the power to go long will be great. Thought of this. Li Wen decided to try more tentatively.

Although Li Wen, a speculative kid, didn't know why he wanted to do this, Li Wen still knew very well that his feelings and his experience told him that he had to do this.

What Li Wen didn't know was that the wheat in the market was being carefully bought by merchants from Qin and Zhao at low prices. It is also because their purchases have caused the original decline in wheat to disappear. With the passage of the market, the quantity of wheat in the Qin State market has rapidly decreased a lot. In addition, the transportation of important grain-producing areas in the Qin State has not been mentioned. The amount of grain on the Xianyang trading market has decreased a lot. In this way, Qin's wheat family has for the first time an important key price that has broken through the original high for two and a half years. Faced with such a key point price. Li Wen felt that he should buy, and boldly bought wheat for more orders. Through such a transaction, he could make a lot of money.

"Buy multiple orders of wheat tomorrow. Start building positions." Li Wen looked at the trend and finally decided.
