The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Qin State Xianyang. Inside the prime minister's house.

"According to the latest news we got, the people of South Korea and Chu are very close. This is the telegram that we just received." Meng Yi handed a telegram to Shangwen as he said. Shang Wen took it over and looked.

"It seems that Koreans and Chu people are indeed very close." Shang Wen said. The situation of the main leaders of the two countries at the railway station was reported to the Prime Minister’s Mansion. In fact, such a thing would be known to Qin without the prime minister’s mansion deliberately. The situation is very simple. There are a large number of media reporters in Qin State, and they report on such and other things every day.

"The crux of the problem is, what are they discussing?" Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, we still don't know exactly what they did, but I'm sure there is some kind of inevitable connection between the two. Or the distribution of benefits." Meng Yi said to Shangwen worriedly.

"I know this too, but we better not worry, or we can learn the truth." Shang Wen said.

"Boom." At this moment, the door rang.

"Come in." Shang Wen picked up the phone and said to the outside.

Then Shangwen’s assistant came in and handed Shangwen’s latest national reports. These are simplified reports. Shangwen can understand what happened just by looking at the title. The prime minister's office does these things. They have to classify them, make various report summaries, and so on.

"Let's take a look." Shang Wen picked up a report and said.

"South Korea, the country of Chu has sent a telegram. They decided that the two countries will develop their own regions. The above said that the country of Chu and South Korea are on Zhangxiong Island. The country of Chu is called Shaman Island. Serious disputes have occurred. This place is the demarcation point between the Western and Southern Oceans. The two countries decided to suspend their dispute and decided to let the Koreans occupy Zhang Xiong Island. The Chu people have the right of passage. The two countries are officially divided into economic regions." Shang Wen said at this time.

Meng Yi quickly read the telegram. He read the contents of the telegram more carefully.

"Is there nothing else?" Meng Yi asked.

"Perhaps." Shang Wen stood up and said.

"The two countries develop the Southeast Asia and the West separately. As a result, their demand for ports is very large. Under such circumstances, what do we need?" Shang Wen said.

"Investment, both countries need large-scale infrastructure construction, such as the Jiaozhou area established by the Koreans, the Wuyue area of ​​the Chu people, and the Xuzhou area. These are the focuses of their development." Shang Wen said.

"It seems that we are ready to invest." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Yes, that's it. Qin State must do this well. Only in this way can we take the initiative." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah." Meng Yi just nodded, for some development issues. Meng Yi still couldn't see clearly. Because there are many channels for development at present, as for which one is good, Meng Yi himself can’t say clearly, industry also needs it, trade also needs it, which road can bring great benefits, this is what they need most. a little.

State of Zhao, Handan. Li Mu's prime minister's house.

"Chu people and Koreans move so fast." Li Mu said with a smile after reading the telegram.

"Haha. Koreans have always been like this. They are very anxious. For example, in Jiaozhou, Qi has no time to oppose, and they have established a state assembly and a state government. Although the high-level opposition of Qi people is loud, it seems that Qi people don’t care. These." Li Zuoche said.

"Well. After so many years of fighting. Who cares about this." Li Mu said. Qi’s domestic war was severely damaged, and many places have not recovered from the post-war period. Qi’s economic policy itself has problems. There is no long-term development, but a single development of traditional agriculture. This is the extremely economic development of Qi’s country. On the contrary, the Jiaozhou region has adopted new economic policies that allow land mergers and encourage urban migration. In this way, a large amount of land is concentrated, which is conducive to agricultural planting, and farmers who have lost land can enter the city to become workers. Promote the development of the city. This is a long-term benign development, and Qi clearly has not achieved this.

"The people of Qi are very poor now, but Jiaozhou, which is also the territory of Qi, is undergoing great changes. I think that the people of Qi should reflect on this." Li Mu said.

"Okay. Let's not talk about Qi State. Let's talk about our own affairs in Zhao State." Li Mu said.

"South Korea and Chu State have taken action. Are we also taking some actions? At least we have to visit Qin State to introduce advanced technology or capital." Li Zuoche suggested.

"No. South Korea and Chu State go to Qin State, they are ready. Are our situation ready?" Li Mu asked.

"This." Li Zuoche couldn't answer because he didn't know what Zhao Guo was going to prepare.

"I have seen that South Korea and Chu may have reached some kind of agreement on trade, so they are confident that they can do so, but what we Zhao has, in addition to rich coal resources, is to produce a large amount of iron, cement is currently ours The output is still relatively small, and the output of glass can only help general demand. If you want to expand demand, Zhao Guo must do better." Li Mu said.

"Recently, I have also noticed the use of Goguryeo labor, and found that after using labor, our coal production has increased a lot. Strikes and riots have reduced a large part." Li Mu said. It is natural to say this, because the Goguryeo workers are bought out, but in fact they are slaves in disguise. They don't count the cost of labor at all. Coupled with the low wages and salaries, many mine owners don't care about their lives. Even if a death occurs, they only need to pay a small part of the compensation to the Goguryeo government. It can be said that the people of Goguryeo are using their lives to contribute to the economy of the country of Zhao.

And those Zhao Guo laborers who were replaced began to become the main laborers of Zhao Guo's expansion of the infrastructure labor force, and they can take up their jobs as long as they simply learn. After all, the risks of coal mining are far greater than these, and the wages and salaries are good, and the benefits are relatively large. Although coal is extremely profitable, mine owners are generally willing to use their blood to accumulate their capital. It is simply unwilling to increase workers' salaries. Moreover, these people always cause them all kinds of troubles. Under such circumstances, the people of Zhao Kingdom basically have their own personal freedom. Because Zhao has already announced the abolition of slavery in the country, under this background, Zhao has a sufficient labor force, which has cleared the way for the development of the factory.

"Our next goal is to organize Zhao's industrial economy, make Zhao's economic development more effective, and be able to develop under such conditions, which is very beneficial to us." Li Mu said.

"In addition to building a large number of iron plants, cement, and mechanical equipment, Zhao Guo also has a variety of infrastructure engineering teams. They have to learn how to use these construction machinery and engineering facilities." Li Mu said.

"Zhao Guo, architectural development, this is my idea." Li Mu said confidently.

"Well. In this way, all countries need to develop a lot of infrastructure to be feasible." Li Zuoche said.

"Don't worry, Chu people and South Korea will do this. Their energy is on trade, and engineering issues will be very complicated because of the lack of manpower, but we are not lacking. We have a large number of people who can do this." Li Mu said.

"As for how to do this, I have already thought about it. The country recruits a large number of people into the engineering team by reserve or by recruiting engineering personnel, and the engineering team learns, and then after the learning is completed, it turns to enter the commercial engineering team. The team contracted projects, and they entered the field of engineering construction." Li Mu said.

"The foundation of our construction is to build a whole fortification along the Taihang Mountain, as a foundation for us, so that our problems will be solved a lot." Li Mu said with a smile. In fact, Li Mu is still using a national defense and security thinking to solve problems. For example, when he mentioned the issue of national defense engineering, this plan was clearly aimed at the State of Qin. If Qin Guo is disgusted, he has nothing to do.

"It's just that I'm worried that if you do this, it will arouse the disgust of the people of Qin, especially the construction of a defensive belt along the Taihang Mountain. This is easy for us, but it is extremely sensitive to the people of Qin." Li Zuoche was worried. Speaking of.

"Prime Minister, I personally think that we should focus on engineering buildings, such as government buildings, railway stations, and various urban facilities. In this case, it will be beneficial to us. The construction of fortifications will threaten the Qin State. It's too big." Li Zuoche said worriedly.

"Well, let's try it out. How about the attitude of the people of Qin?" Li Mu decided to try the attitude of the people of Qin.

"Maybe we can go to Qin to build roads. After all, they need to build a lot of infrastructure. I think this can be done. We need a lot of money to build fortifications. And to help the people of Qin build roads, we can get a lot of money. It's not too late to build." Li Zuoche still felt that he should not provoke the people of Qin at this time, and should make some reasonable plans. After all, Zhao Guo's strength is not good. It is very unwise to stimulate the people of Qin without taking the initiative.

"Yeah." Li Mu nodded. Li Mu felt that there might be a problem with what he thought at the beginning, because he patronizes the national defense and security of the State of Zhao, while ignoring the attitude of the people of Qin. In the context of peaceful development, Li Mu's move may be possible. Will cause more discomfort. After all, many countries attach great importance to this point.
