"What do you think of the information provided to us by the people of the Yue family?" Yang Duanhe asked Wang Jian.

"It's very important. But it's just some of the other party's situation. Our own situation must be analyzed. You must know that it is not their Yue family who are fighting." Wang Jian said.

"Wang Ben, the telegram sent said that they want their troops to earn some extra money, mainly because the defensive force has been there for a long time. This has to be one of our considerations." Wang Jian said.

"First, there is indeed the possibility of war breaking out in our periphery. For example, Yueshi, Dawan people." Wang Jian went on to give an example.

"However, on this issue, we do not have the possibility of sending troops, mainly because of financial difficulties, and we do not support such a large-scale combat expenditure." Wang Jian said.

"And there are indeed such and such problems. The logistics supply problem is extremely difficult. There is no railway and it is difficult to transport our logistics materials. This is a big trouble for us." Wang Jian said.

"Second, it is the issue of our troop withdrawal. I have thought about this issue. On the border line, our Qin army has at least concentrated nearly 200,000 troops, and the domestic defense is only 50,000. This is 25. Human strength must ensure the safety of the Qin State. At the same time, the Qin Army must also be upgraded. This is indeed very difficult. The 200,000 defensive troops stationed on the border line for a long time, this is a disaster for us Qin State. The mobile force has dropped severely. It is impossible to allocate enough mobile force to solve the problem." Wang Jian said.

"Yes, at present, the Qin Army should find a way to recover the troops, and deploy as few troops as possible in the border defense. However, how to solve the border problem requires the help of the Prime Minister. The most important point is the Qin Army. At present, our Qin Army relies on railways for delivery. Although the large-scale railway construction plan has been implemented, the Qin Army wants to achieve rapid mobility. At present, it is still impossible." Yang Duanhe said To.

"Yeah. So, I'm worried. The above two points are enough to make our Qin army stagnate." Yang Duanhe said.

"This matter can be explained to the king, let the king coordinate this matter in general." Yang Duanhe suggested after thinking about it.

"Yeah." Wang Jian nodded. Acknowledgment, after all, Qin Jun's arrangement and situation had big problems.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

"The railway problem. The section of our railway going north in South Korea can be completed very quickly. The funds are very sufficient and the construction can be started very quickly. However, we are worried about the problems of Zhao Guo. We are very clear that Zhao Guo lacks enough. It’s the beginning of the spring of the capital. We can’t wait any longer. If we can’t complete the project as soon as possible, then there will be great disputes in the future trade between us. The capital invested by our Korean side will be in vain. It’s a waste of a year." Han Shu said to Li Mu.

"At this point, the king can rest assured that we will lay the railway as soon as possible. From Handan to the southern border of Zhao State, there are flat plains. If construction is carried out here, I think the speed will be very fast." Li Mu confidently Speaking of. However, under this self-confidence, Zhao Guo's current predicament is concealed, although the construction is much less difficult. But the total mileage is a bit more than that of South Korea. In this case, the investment scale will be relatively large. If so much funds are raised, Li Mu hasn't had a good way for a while, but Li Zuoche proposed a good way. , Is to work with South Korea to solve the funding problem, and transfer the ownership of a section of the railway to South Korea. Then, the ownership of another section of the railway was bought by the nobles through shares. In this case, Zhao Guo solved these problems through transfer and contracting.

For this plan, Li Mu needs to consider the reaction of the nobles of the Zhao country. Before testing the reaction of the other party, Li Mu did not dare to try the attitude of the Koreans rashly.

"That's good. I hope that the two countries can build this railway as soon as possible, and the trade volume between the two countries can rise a lot. Do all the work." Han Shu said to Li Mu with a smile.

This is the result that Han Shu is most willing to accept. Originally, she was worried that Zhao Guo would come to Korea to solve Zhao Guo’s financial problems. However, what she did not expect was that Li Mu’s words were only to determine whether South Korea would The construction of the railway to the north of Zhao State was started, so that she would relax and do it.

South Korea solves the problem of funding by issuing banknotes on a large scale, injecting them into the company, and at the same time going public and selling the company's stock. In this case, the funding problem can be easily solved. However, the circulation of Korean banknotes is not very large. It is only limited to South Korea and some parts of the northern government of the Wei Kingdom. If Zhao Guo needs funds, it will make South Korea's funds more difficult. After all, South Korea’s foreign exchange reserves are only a small part of Qin State banknotes, and a large number of banknotes have been used to purchase a large amount of gold as South Korea’s own foreign exchange reserves.

Under this circumstance, South Korea is unwilling to participate too much in Zhao's railway project. Once involved, South Korea will divert a considerable amount of funds.

"As for the specific matters, I think Prime Minister Zhang is still responsible. After the Prime Minister's related matters are over, I want to invite the Prime Minister to visit various factories in South Korea." Han Shu invited.

"Thank you, Queen." Li Mu thanked him in a salute.

Then Li Mu and Zhang Liang discussed specific issues. Mainly the route, the docking location, and the final completion time. This requires engineering and technical personnel to further discuss technical issues. Li Mu and Zhang Liang just discussed it from the side. It is difficult for both parties to determine the final date in a short period of time.

Qin State Hexi Corridor. Shang Wen is checking the Western Region Railway of Qin State.

"This railway runs through the western regions of the Qin State. It is very important to the Qin State." Shang Wen said to the mayor of Tupo Town next to him.

"The prime minister, this is correct. Our town relies on this railway to solve many problems. The tax revenue of the town is basically solved by this railway. The people in the town basically rely on the railway to live. Yes." said the town mayor.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded.

"Is there no other industry development in your town?" Shang Wen asked strangely.

"Oh. The prime minister may have misunderstood." The town mayor explained.

"Our town is very lucky. Every train comes to us, we need to refuel and add water. There is no way. We have a coal mine here. Therefore, this coal mine is basically consumed by railways, and there is no nearby. Large iron smelting plants, only a few small iron smelting workshops, can not consume much iron." The town mayor nodded.

"In addition, we also have a large warehouse for storing goods here, mainly from the Western Regions, and we have to stay here. The southern part, there is mainly not much space to accommodate these materials. Moreover, the Upper Western Regions Many materials need to be transported, so we had to stay. Our restaurants and taverns were opened. The town mayor’s circulation population increased a lot. The slaves who came and went, as well as the railway workers from Chu, were all Rest here with us." said the town mayor.

"Yeah. I understand." Shang Wen nodded. He knows that this is the benefit brought by the railway. Because of the rapid development of commerce, there are many natural demands that increase, such as eating and resting. These have led to the mayor’s hotel. The hoarding of materials has given the town a lot of places to build long warehouses, and the transfer of these materials has given them a lot of jobs.

"Does your mayor have railway workers from Chu?" Shang Wen asked the town mayor.

"Yes. Yes. There are a lot of them. In the past few days, they have reached two thousand people. They are dragging their families. I heard that some people want to go to the north to build the railway. I heard people say that they want There seems to be a mine over there to build an iron smelter. Some people go to the Western Regions. Now these people are deciding which direction to go. However, they can’t decide. They have signed a contract with a trading company, and they have signed a contract. You can go." said the town mayor.

"How are they treated?" Shang Wen asked with concern at this time.

"There are not so many rooms in the town, so many people are put aside, you know, our town has only more than 1,000 people, and the other party suddenly came two thousand people, there is no way, we can only let them live in the warehouse. In other places, I can’t put it down at all. Just like that, there are still some people living in tents.” said the town mayor.

"But." The town mayor was a little embarrassed at this time, as if there was something to say, but it was difficult to say it.

"What's the matter?" Shang Wen asked.

"It's the public security in our town. After these people came, our public security situation was much worse. Many people lost things and harassed the women in our town a lot. Our sheriff arrested a lot for this. People. The prison is full. But the situation is still the same." said the town mayor.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded.

"Let's go, let's go over and see, this problem, we see how to solve it." Shang Wen said.

"Okay. Prime Minister." The town mayor smiled and followed Shang Wen. In fact, he hoped that the prime minister would personally intervene in this matter. Shang Wen originally came to conduct campaign propaganda, but from the current point of view, the situation here is not the same. Not as Shangwen had imagined, this small town turned out to be the only town with a population of over a thousand within a hundred miles nearby. If you want to find another town like this, you need to take a train for at least two hours to see it. If you ride horses, it will take longer. The entire Hexi Corridor is still vast and sparsely populated. It's not that there are no people, but the lack of a large population of development.

"How about the education and health of the town?" Shang Wen thought of this question as he walked on the road.

"Good, but still not good." The town mayor gave Shang Wen a very contradictory answer, which made Shang Wen very difficult.

"The education in the town can barely be solved. Medical and health care, one or two doctors can solve the problem. If you are seriously ill, you can only go to Guanzhong Xianyang for treatment." The town mayor explained.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded, he decided to find some time to see these situations.

"But outside the town, there is no way to solve it." The town mayor explained.

"In the surrounding ranch area, some of them need to walk a day and a night to get to the town to find a doctor for treatment. If it is a sudden illness, they can only wait to die." The town said.

"The population spread around you is very large?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yes, there are farms and pastures nearby. Only during the slack period, the town will be more lively. Usually, this is not the case." The mayor shook his head and said.

"Is this the same in several towns?" Shang Wen asked.

"It's all like this. By the way. Prime Minister." The mayor seemed to remember something.

"It's our road. We have very few roads. Most of the time, most of them are sandy roads built by ourselves. Otherwise, it is not very good that they are crushed by mud. If it is rainy, it is very difficult to walk." Speaking of long.

"People in the neighborhood are like this. We don’t have motor vehicles here. The reason is that the road conditions are very poor. We want to repair. First, there is no one. Second, there is not a lot of funds to solve this problem. So, this problem , Finally had to shelve it.” The mayor said.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded.

"How's the tap water situation?" Shang Wen then asked.

"This thing is only relevant, we still rely on well water here." The mayor said. Hear here. Shang Wen was stunned. What he originally thought was that Qin's development would not be so bad, but what he didn't expect was that it would be so bad. The quality of the water cannot be guaranteed. It seems that Qin's development is indeed very uneven. This is still a place where there is railway transportation. If those who do not have railway transportation, such as the ranch on the edge, it takes them a day and a night to see a sick person. If the road is difficult to follow, the horse will suffer great losses. These are the second things, mainly time. The time to rescue soldiers is over all at once. This is very precious.

Thinking of this, Shang Wen suddenly lost his heart. He didn't know how he should develop for Qin State. How to develop better. Shang Wen had no plans for a while.

Soon, under the leadership of the mayor, Shang Wen came to the place where the Chu State Railway workers gathered.

"Hey, how can you urinate and defecate anywhere? Get up quickly." Before arriving, the mayor shouted loudly. I saw a man in the distance urinating at the door of the warehouse. The mayor couldn't see it, and shouted loudly. But the other party didn't seem to hear it, and after the convenience was over, he swaggered and left.

"Damn it," the mayor scolded loudly.

"I'm looking for the sheriff and give you a ticket." The mayor yelled to the man with dissatisfaction. But that person seemed disdainful.

Shang Wen saw this and shook his head. The sanitation of the town is done by everyone. There are no cleaners in Qin State, mainly because human resources are too tight. Every locality has to be responsible for the sanitation, and when necessary, temporary staff will be recruited to take charge. In many cases, these are temporary and voluntary workers.

"I'm going to issue a fine for hardware. If you don't punish you for bankruptcy, you don't even know the importance of hygiene." The mayor said in dissatisfaction. Then let the people on the side find someone to go to the sheriff, and the sheriff does specific things.

These matters are the responsibility of specific people, and Shangwen does not interfere, nor does he have the right to interfere.

"I'll go in and take a look." Shang Wen said to the mayor. Then walked towards the warehouse. The mayor followed.

"Who are you?" At the door of the warehouse, several sturdy men looked at Shang Wen vigilantly.

"We are here to inspect." The mayor said.

"No, we don't welcome you, you Qin people will arrest our people, you let them go before you talk." A man stood up and said to Shang Wen.

"Bold," the mayor scolded.

"Catch you because they violated the law. You just let it go, what will happen. This is the State of Qin, not your State of Chu." The mayor yelled. Hearing this, Shang Wen frowned. Obviously, the two sides are very antagonistic and xenophobic. You must know that the aboriginal residents here are the Yue family, the Wusun people, and the people of the Qin country after driving away these people, they moved in further and were affected by the Qin country. They live here, and these Chu people who have just arrived, because they don't follow the rules, they have been excluded by the residents of the small town.

"I'm Prime Minister Qin. I want to see your situation. Learn about it, and then improve it." Shang Wen said kindly.

"You are still the prime minister of the State of Qin. If you are a young man, I will be the king of the State of Chu." The man said to Shang Wen unceremoniously.

"You are presumptuous." A guard behind him took out a pistol and pointed at the man. For such unreasonable demands, the guards have been unbearable.

"Bold. This is the prime minister of our Federation Qin State. You are so presumptuous." The mayor looked at each other angrily. The eyes burst into flames.

Seeing such a scene, the people of Chu felt that what the people of Qin said was true.

Shangwen took out the seal letter from his pocket at this time.

"This is granted by King Qin himself, you can verify it." Shang Wen said and handed the seal to the other party.

"Ah. Really, it's really the prime minister. Yes, sorry." Chu people knelt to the ground at this time. Some others looked at Shang Wen stiffly. They couldn't believe it, they actually saw Shangwen. The prime minister of Qin.

"Get up. I want to go in and have a look, do you agree?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"Yes, you can." Everyone said quickly. Shang Wen lifted everyone up.

"Are you okay here?" Shang Wen asked.

"Good, good. Great. We can come here and still have enough food." The man who was disrespectful to Shang Wen quickly replied.

"You can still eat meat. That canned meat is very delicious, we eat it every day. It's very fragrant." Everyone said.

"The Prime Minister, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you. Our family of seven would have died. It's your policy. Let us have a way to survive." As he said, a man fell on his knees in Shangwen. Around. Shang Wen took the trouble to hold up the other party.

"These are what I should do, stop saluting. I still have a lot of things to understand. If this goes on, there will be no way for more people to solve the problem." Shang Wen said anxiously.

"Yes, yes." The man stood up.

"What's going on over there?" Shangwen asked at this time.

"Oh. I was infusion. I didn't understand it because of electrolytes. Anyway, I had a fever. The child couldn't get rid of the fever. After the doctor came, he said that it can only be done. There are several more over there. The doctor has been here for two days. That's too much." One person explained.

"Shangwen walked over and took a look. They are both elderly and children. Their bodies are very weak, and they lose saline and glucose. The long distances make their bodies too much to eat. Fortunately, their bodies are fine. There is a railway along the way. Transportation. They didn't suffer much, they were just tired.

"Why don't they live in the ward?" Shang Wen asked the town mayor at this time.

"The ward is already full." At this time, a young doctor walked over and said to Shang Wen.

"There is no way, it can only be this way. Fortunately, there is no shortage of medicines here. There are a lot of medicines in the past goods, and we can extract some of them." The doctor said.

"It's just that the sanitation here is too poor, the air is turbid, and infectious diseases are prone to appear. I have repeatedly emphasized it many times. But there is still no improvement. If this continues, I will be exhausted, and I will be saved. This is endless. No more." The doctor said to everyone. Chu people bowed their heads one after another. Obviously they are difficult to rectify.

"It seems that they have to be separated loosely. Think of a way to solve the problem with their trading company." Shang Wen said to the mayor. The mayor nodded.

"I will find a way," the mayor said.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded.

"Everyone actually came to the Qin State, I am very welcome." Shang Wen said to everyone. Everyone nodded, and they didn't know what applause was.

"However, I hope that you will integrate into our group and society more quickly. Of course, we also want to accept you. Maybe you will make mistakes at the beginning. Because of these mistakes, there will be prejudice and estrangement between us. After all, we come from different regions. But now, we are all on the same land, and we can quickly integrate in, build this place, and regard this as your home. For your own homeland, work hard." Shang Wen said to everyone .

"Okay." a man shouted.

"Okay." The others shouted.

"I see that our town has a small number of people. If you join in, you will be the people of Qin. Your various lives can be guaranteed. Only our town will have further development." Shang Wen told the town mayor Speaking of.

"Leave them?" The town mayor still had some reluctance.

"Yes, keep them. This land needs us to develop, but no one, how to develop, why we develop, is to let us live a better life." Shangwen said to everyone.

"In the future, the development here will not lose to Guanzhong." Shang Wen said with a smile.
