Wei Guo, big beam. Today, a large number of people are expanding southward at full speed, and the population is increasing. They abandon their land in the countryside and scramble to develop in the city.

The price of food is very low. Even if they grow the food, they cannot sell the money to survive, and they also have to collect taxes. Unless they can make money in a short period of time, land is a burden to them. Fortunately, Liang is expanding, and this city is estimated to have exceeded one million people. But the official has not officially announced, but no one cares about this, they care about their livelihood.

Sell ​​the land, enter the city, become the urban population, and then they will look for work at the door of major factories. The warehouse area of ​​the railway station requires a lot of labor. This is the first choice for people entering the city, of course. There are also some young people, if they are clever, they will choose other places, high-end entertainment venues, where a large number of young people are needed. However, more people still choose to enter the factory, because the salary there is much higher than that of farming. As long as they can survive, they are willing to enter the factory.

With the joining of the Southern Wei State, the nobles and merchants cooperated, factories were established, a large amount of land was taken by the government, and then sold again, they will be built into a prosperous business district.

"This news came from the Ministry of National Defense of Xinzheng, South Korea. At present, few people know it." In a high-end restaurant, the decoration here is extremely luxurious, and the ceiling makes it look very warm, but it is revealed everywhere. The taste of the rich, because only the rich can come. Silk has become a symbol of the rich here, and tens of thousands and a half dollars of wine is filled with exquisite glasses. The wealthy people like to use the jade cup, and the nobles especially like it here. In addition, there are many women in revealing clothes, this is their power. Members of the Wei state are frequent visitors here, because there are often a lot of news about getting rich. Those businessmen and nobles are willing to spend a lot of money to come here, because news is wealth.

"Really?" A fat noble moved his body, the huge sofa may not be able to bear his astonishing weight.

"It's true. This is news from the Ministry of Defense of Xinzheng, South Korea." said the young man who delivered the news. Here, each message has a price.

"Well. How many people do you know?" the nobleman asked.

"Yeah. I think the military, industrial and commercial people in Xinzheng, South Korea have already started operations." said the young man.

"The military is very excited to receive such news, but South Korean military enterprises need to operate continuously for several years to produce such many military weapons. If we get military orders, the situation will be very beneficial to us." The young man said. To.

"I think, sir should understand that this military production is the same as the products produced by other factories. If you want to obtain huge benefits, you must put it into production as soon as possible. Only with sufficient products can you quickly seize the market. If you can't get the first opportunity, The situation may be very bad." The young man continued.

"I see. You go to my butler to receive the reward. I will decide the production. Do you understand?" The noble congressman said with some dissatisfaction.

"Understood." The young man turned and left with a slight smile. They are actually intelligence dealers, but selling information can also make money. Many of them do it because the merchants, nobles, and parliamentarians need all kinds of information to do things. They can do such things.

South Korea and Wei have close ties. If there is no South Korea, Wei is difficult to develop, and the distance between the two is relatively close, coupled with the close connection of the railway system, which makes their relationship closer. For a long time, Wei It is seen as a continuation of the Korean factory, and the implementation is indeed the case. There are a large number of Korean businessmen in Wei State. They invest here, establish factories, and attract a large number of Wei laborers here. The factory, shoes, hats, blends, garments, leather, Canned meat, canned fruits and vegetables, and a large number of simple parts and components. Among them, the military industry is also an important leading industry developed by Wei. Because of the large amount of intensive labor, they can produce a large number of bullets and assemble a variety of guns. With the increase in demand for maritime trade, it has become the largest concentration of factories. The starting point of the Jiaozhou Railway is here. Once the Jiaozhou Railway is completed, the start of their factories will become more frantic.

The news from South Korea made the Korean businessmen and Wei merchants restless here, because this was a huge military order, and the military order provided by Qin Guoren only looked like less than one million rifles. This is still the Qin army. The effect of suppression, but in fact, they have produced 1.5 million rifles in total. Because they can't produce artillery, they don't have such technology, but Zhao Guoren has it, but the profit of the rifle is enough for them to make a lot of money.

Hearing such a large demand, the arms dealers are preparing. They decide to expand production again and make a fortune. This money is very important to them.

State of Zhao, Handan.

"Is this news reliable?" Li Mu heard such news from Li Zuo's mouth, his first reaction was suspicion.

"I got this from a Korean." Li Zuoche said.

"Don't be rumors again, now the telegraph technology is very mature. A lot of confusing information is spread back and forth, which will cause a lot of interference in our decision. You won't use such information to spread back and forth, right?" Li Mu told Li Zuo Speaking of the car.

"This. No. This is news from their Ministry of Defense. Some businessmen have confirmed this news. The most important thing is that they do not have artillery production technology, Koreans, but their production capacity is very weak, and their artillery is at best satisfied. The needs of our own army, and our Zhao State has such production technology. Under such circumstances, we can produce a large number of artillery to meet their needs." Li Zuoche said.

"I understand what you think." Li Mu said.

"But production is not something we can decide. You know, once we expand production, we need a lot of capital. However, if the other party doesn’t need it, the things we produce cannot be sold, and the capital cannot be returned to the company. I will be completely trapped to death. At present, I would rather let our factory produce railroad tracks than dare to produce artillery too quickly. After all, we simply cannot produce this way without such a big demand." Li Mu said worriedly.

"Yeah. I understand." Li Zuoche nodded to express that he was clear.

"It is very good that you understand this. I think you should know. The production should be decided by the company, and we have no right to interfere with them. After all, it is them, not us, that bear a lot of commercial risks." Li Mu decided that, in his opinion, he should let go, just like Qin Guoren, and give up the decision-making power to the company, and let the company decide whether to expand production.

Qin State, Xianyang.

"The Northern Alliance wants to expand mineral production. It depends on the industry, not how much capital they have." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi. The Northern Alliance plans to develop the mineral resources in the north, but they lack funds. They want the East and West Mongolian government to solve the funding problem, but the government has no money and no one to invest. The most important thing is to tap such many resources. There must be industrial demand. Obviously, Qin's industrial demand is not that big.

"I have thought of this. However, I think we can stimulate such demand. At present, I find that South Korea and Zhao are producing various parts and components, although most of them are made of iron, of course. There are also steel, but their demand is not very large, and there are quite a few parts that cannot use iron, such as copper, and there are such large copper mines in the north, and our bullets also need a lot of copper mines. If we can dig out a large amount of copper ore, I think it will not be a small stimulus to them." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"But it needs demand. This demand is not what we can say." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"However, we should pay more attention to our industrial system. After all, only our demand increases. There can be greater demand." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi. Meng Yi just nodded in agreement.

The power plant area in the southeast of Xianyang produces a large number of generators and motors, but they are worried about the shutdown.

"Why stopped work again?" a new employee said annoyedly.

"Lack of raw materials." An old employee put the white gloves in his pocket and told the other party helplessly.

"Lack of raw materials, I think, didn't we just ship a lot of copper the day before yesterday? We can produce it for a long time." The new employee said excitedly.

"It's used up. Some of the raw materials are sold directly to the arsenal." The old employee said.

"Ah." The new employee obviously couldn't understand.

"Generators and electric motors are not needed in every factory. They are very efficient, but the price is very good. The demand for copper is very large, but there is not much copper. Most of the copper from the north is used to produce bullets. The copper in Dawan can’t make it through. The copper mines in the south don’t know how the supply is less. The price of copper has risen a lot. Electric power companies can no longer support such a high price. Because the things sold are basically Doesn't make money." The old employee explained.

"You know, not only we need copper, but also in many places. Cables and telephone lines are needed. In this way, we can't be satisfied at all. The **** military industry companies, they all use copper. I really don’t know how much money these bullets can sell.” Old employees complained that their wages have a lot to do with their start-ups, and if they’re under-started, they won't get enough salary. This has caused many employees to complain repeatedly, but the supply demand is not very large. Copper is a very important metal element, and the demand for military industry is relatively large, because the current relatively mature artillery technology is made of bronze. This kind of artillery is powerful and can exhibit great ductility. The power of the artillery is also great, but Need some copper. Even if Zhao Guo's artillery technology is relatively mature, some conservative people are still willing to use bronze artillery because he is relatively safe. Coupled with the maturity of cable technology, South Korea needs to lay a large number of submarine cables. Copper is still used in some key parts of the carriage, such as bearings. Copper bearing technology is relatively stable. If power companies need to develop, they also need a lot of copper. However, copper mining cannot meet Qin's demand, which has caused Qin's futures prices to rise again and again. No one knows how long such an increase will continue. The high price of copper has restricted the development of some industries, but this situation will continue, and they have no alternative.

Zhang Xiong Island. Yu Ziheng's chief of staff hurriedly took a telegram and handed it to Yu Ziheng, who was admiring an ivory work. There are many elephants in the local area, and in order to obtain greater value, whether it is a merchant ship from Chu or a merchant ship from South Korea, the local area is willing to load more ivory back home, because this kind of thing is in great demand. Yu Ziheng got a lot of gifts here. Most of them are ivory products. He himself likes such things. Chopsticks, tableware, cups, and various small works of art made of ivory. He has a set of soldiers made of ivory, and they do very well. . It looks very beautiful and worth a lot of money.

"Sir. This is the latest news. The news from one of our latest telegraph stations. The news from the telegraph station was very shocking." The Chief of Staff handed the telegram to Yu Ziheng and said.

"Karachi?" Yu Ziheng asked after looking at it.

"Yes, this is a northern city-state and a port city. They are very interested in our artillery and gun technology. They are willing to establish diplomatic relations with us. They are willing to spend a lot of money to introduce artillery and gun technology on a large scale. If possible, they hope that we will send a corps of officers there to help them.” The Chief of Staff said.

"I've never heard of this place?" Yu Ziheng looked at the telegram and said. In fact, he hadn't heard of many places. There were a lot of telegrams gathered here every day, and many telegrams told him that many new places were occupied. Then the place name was changed to a Korean name, but he didn't know where it was, all he knew was the latitude and longitude. No one has drawn accurate maps, especially maps on the western continent.

"They are on the west coast, not on the east coast. They are far away from us. It takes two months for our ship to sail. This is our fastest sailing speed to get there." The Chief of Staff said.

"Very far," Yu Ziheng said.

"Yes, sir, but the value of this news proves once again that in a certain location on the west coast, it is indeed possible to contact the Western Regions of the State of Qin and the people of the Yue family. In other words, it is indeed possible to reach from the sea. The location on the southern side of the Yueshi people also shows that there is indeed a demand for muskets, and moreover." The chief of staff paused and looked at his chief.

"Say." Yu Ziheng said.

"Moreover, this situation does exist, that is to say, in front of us, there is a great opportunity to make a fortune." The Chief of Staff said.

"Gudong." The chief of staff swallowed.

"But he is far away from us." Yu Ziheng said.

"But we can transport guns and artillery to them." said the chief of staff.

"At the same time, we will face the people of Qin. Will this lead to greater diplomatic relations?" Yu Ziheng said hesitantly.

"But sir, this can indeed help us solve a big problem." The Chief of Staff said.

"Yeah. You are right. We need to do a lot of things." Yu Ziheng nodded.

"To forward this telegram to the South Korean government, we need to make a decision locally. The most important thing is that we cannot provide so much arms support. This is a huge number, and we are just a small island with industries on it. The system simply cannot be supported." Yu Ziheng said.

Qingcheng government.

"Adults, sirs, save us, we can't get home anymore." Some workers excitedly held up banners and shouted. The soldiers at the gate of the Qingcheng government were extremely nervous. They knew that these people were from the southern part of Qi. When they heard that the Qi government blocked the southern passage, everyone in Qi had a big head. Many people were blinded on the spot. Because they did not expect that the Qi government would do this. Usually they can go home through such a blockade and take a look at them. They will bring a lot of things to Jiaozhou. This is their capital to show off, but now they can't get back. Their home is still there, although they have also settled here. But their roots are still in Qi, so they had no choice but to go to the gate of the Qingcheng government. Ask the Qingcheng government to solve this problem. After all, they still want to go home and have a look. The southern part of Qi is their home. However, the Qingcheng government could not solve this problem at all, and could only report it to the Xinzheng government of South Korea. I can only hope that Xinzheng can properly solve such problems.

South Korea, Xinzheng.

"What? The Qi people actually built a blockade on the border and strictly controlled the Qi people to come to Jiaozhou." Hearing such a news. Han Shu was very annoyed. The Qi people ordered to block the passage of Qi people to Jiaozhou. This order has made many Qi people panic, because there are a large number of Qi people in Jiaozhou and Qingcheng. Some Qi people are already very worried. They spontaneously. The Qingcheng government asked the government to solve this problem. "Zhang Liang said.

"At present, all we can do is to appease them as soon as possible, and then send an envoy to Qi." Zhang Liang said.

"The people of Qi are of great significance to the development of our Jiaozhou and Qingcheng. More than 90% of our railway workers are from Qi people. Without them, our roads would not be able to start construction. In the long run, railway construction is bound to happen. It is very seriously affected." Zhang Liang said.

"Yeah." Han Shu nodded. I think Zhang Liang said it. But Han Shu still hasn't a good way to solve the conflicts between Qi and the country.
