Just when Zhao Jun was busy preparing. The South Korean captain finally had a bold idea.

"Overseas, there are islands. If you follow an idea I got recently. The captain of the South Korean New Army was facing his commander. This was stated by the head of a lieutenant colonel of the intelligence service.

"Now overseas expansion is particularly popular, especially in the Chu State, many Chu people are trying their best to build ships and go to sea, they go all the way south along the coastline, and they can easily find those Yue natives as slaves. And we, if we rush in at this time, we will inevitably be entangled with the Chu State. The captain said at this time.

"Yes. What do you mean? At this time, the lieutenant colonel asked directly.

"I mean, this." At this time, the captain took out the logbook, and took out a map that he had drawn himself. There are also brand new routes on that map.

"That's what I mean." The captain said, spreading out the map. Then he pointed his finger on the map and pointed to the route on the map with his finger and said.

"What is this?" The lieutenant colonel still didn't understand what the captain meant.

"I mean, the people of Chu can go south along the coastline, and we can go east, looking for this island, this island, surrounded by the sea, we can occupy the whole island." The captain said boldly at this time.

"Oh. Are you crazy? The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"I mean, now a lot of Chu people, overseas, they are building their own homes, and based on these homes, they are constantly developing around, and they are constantly growing. We Koreans. According to the king's command, we are also going to enter this industry, but in fact we can't do that. The captain said at this time.

"If we enter, it is very likely that we will be deliberately attacked by the other party, especially those damned Chu people, they are very united. They're very grouped, how did I get this logbook, you know? The captain asked.

The lieutenant colonel shook his head with interest at this time, and he said that the captain could go ahead.

"They treated the merchant as a slave. Think about it, our people are being used as slaves. The captain said excitedly.

"I can understand your feelings, but that's what I want to say." Lieutenant Colonel said.

"We have to develop overseas business, but there is no difference between us along the coastline and to the east." The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"No, no, no. Sir, I don't think so. The captain refused directly at this time.

"I think it's a lot of things to go east. We can base our game on this island, which is easy to occupy and easy to defend. Not as good as those coastlines. They can develop inland along the coastline. That's Chu, but we Koreans can't. If we walk on the same line with the Chu people, the Chu people will attack us, and at that time, we need to recruit soldiers. At that time, force had to be used to solve the problem. The captain said at this time.

"But if we avoid them. We focused our main efforts on those islands. What will we get? The captain said at this time.

"Come to think of it, the whole island is ours. I think our queen would be crazy if she heard this. The captain said with a wave of his arm.

"Your idea, it's really bold." This time. The lieutenant colonel looked at the captain and said.

"Sir, you agree with me." The captain looked at the lieutenant colonel and said.

"I thought, I'll give it a try. To see, how our queen went crazy. The lieutenant colonel said with a smile.

"Hahahaha." The captain laughed loudly at this time.

"I'll send this by telegram." Lieutenant Colonel said.

"Be patient. All right? The lieutenant colonel comforted the captain.

"Yes, sir." The captain said at this time.

There was no direct telegraph line between Chu and Korea. The line needs to be transferred to the Qin State telegraph station before it can be sent. However, South Korea's telegrams are all encrypted with a certain degree of telegram. Although Qin State relayed the Korean telegram, it could not be deciphered in time.

The Qin state established a telegraph line between the state of Chu along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. This line was established by the Qin State itself, but not many people use this line. Shouyang of the State of Chu, that is, the capital of the State of Chu, did not have a direct telegraph. This made the Qin people very distressed, and they did not understand why the Chu State did not have any interest in this advanced means of communication.

The people of Chu are very interested in external things. They are still very unfamiliar with such things as telegraphs, mainly because they are more repulsive. Although some generals realized this, such as Xiang Yan, he believed that the significance of the telegram was more important than that of muskets and artillery, because the speed of transmission of news was greatly accelerated. But. It's just that no one wants to invest for the simple reason that they don't think these things are of much use. So, they refuse to use it.

In this way, there are very few people who use such a thing as telegraph in Chu State. Only Koreans, Qin people themselves use it. The people of Chu did not come into contact with it very much.

The forwarding of telegrams usually takes an hour to arrive after that.

"These damn Koreans, what are they doing indiscriminately?" A telegraph operator of the Qin State scolded loudly at this time.

"What's that?" Another telegraph operator said.

"I don't know. Nonsense, I translated it with a telegraph code, it's just bullshit. The telegraph operator said.

"No matter how much. These Koreans are like this, they have a lot of money, we just have to forward it. Another telegraph operator said at this time.

"Okay." The telegraph operator looked at it. Then immediately began to send out.

"Bang bang. Bang bang bang. The telegram was sent out at this time with the telegraph signal.

The telegram passed through the current and soon reached Xinzheng. And the recipients of Xinzheng received such a telegram and immediately reported it to their supervisors.

"Director!" A telegraph operator raised his right hand and shouted loudly.

"Okay. I'm coming. The director stepped forward quickly. Then use scissors to cut off the tape that could not be deciphered with normal code. The Director took the tape and glued it to an important blue folder and quickly left.

The Director quickly left and went up to one of the rooms on the top floor.

"Ding-ding." There was a knock at the door.

"Blue telegram." The Director said. Because telegrams are usually placed in blue folders. So, they call it the blue telegram.

"Yes. Give it to me. A young man reached out at this time to take the telegram.

"Decipher it immediately." The young man turned to another interpreter.

"You can leave." The young man said to the director at this time.

"Yes." The director turned away.

The telegram was quickly deciphered, and the Koreans did a certain amount of decipherment, and they, like the Qin state, adopted a simple addition and subtraction encryption at first. However, they found that if the numbers were made after a simple discovery, they were easy to decipher, and the speed of decipherment lay in finding some pattern in the middle, after taking these into account. The Koreans have done some complicated processing, and they have adopted some telegram encryption for the content of the telegrams. For example, behind some of the words, they are added separately. Addition, multiplication, division, and the mathematical processing of square roots, which makes the whole thing much more difficult to decipher. The people of the Qin State are obviously troubled by such an irregular password.

In terms of intelligence, the Koreans gradually surpassed the Qin state in telecommunications, on the contrary, they relied on this decipherment method, and soon deciphered some of the confidential telegram contents in the Qin state. The contents of these telegrams, from the military to the economy, are being stolen to varying degrees.

Soon, this telegram was placed on the tables of Han Shu, Zhang Liang, Han Fei and others, who were discussing a new strategy.

"The content of this telegram is very attractive." Han Shu said.

"Judging by the content of the telegram, this seems to be a big discovery." Zhang Liang said at this time. The content of the telegram is not very long, but the information is important, and not only that, but the news brings a major strategic plan.

"Oh. The deputy minister talked about this discovery. Han Shu said at this time.

"The telegram said that they had found an island, which was to the east. This means that there are some islands on the eastern side of the sea, so why don't we develop these islands as some places for Korean overseas settlements? Zhang Liang quickly thought of the concept of colonies at this time.

In the books that came from the Qin State, there was such a concept. This concept is still in some modern books copied by Shang Wen, but this concept is really understood by the Chu people, many Chu people actively expand overseas business, they have built many of their own homes along the coastline, these homes were some military bases at the beginning, and they need to surround the fruits of their labor and safety. Then, gradually, with the clearing of the surrounding Yue tribes and mutual interactions, the homeland began to gradually expand to the periphery, and then developed to the interior.

The homestead began to turn into a real colonial estate. A large number of fields began to be established around the military strongholds, and various crops began to be cultivated on the fields, and slaves began to digest them on the spot near the manor, which was really not possible, and they began to be transferred to the Qin State and sold.

Not only that, but some Chu people began to migrate in another direction, and that direction was these coastal areas. They became a new concentration of immigrants, and the wild land here gave them great hope, and as long as they actively explored, they had their own piece of land. That's all their hope. It's a place of adventure, hope, and desire. At the same time, these areas are full of carnage and blood.

Zhang Liang obtained such a message and view from another angle. In his view, this kind of colonization is also very feasible for South Korea.

"This discovery is that we in Korea can also follow the example of the Chu State and establish a colony." Zhang Liang said.

"Oh. Let's talk about it specifically. Han Shu said with interest.

"Chu is a colony that has developed along the coastline, and as long as they follow this line, they can connect the entire colony. This is very important to them, and then they can develop from the coast to the interior, gradually expanding their territory and resources. Zhang Liang said.

"If we in South Korea follow this development, we will inevitably clash with the Chu State." Zhang Liang said.

"If the Chu people intercept the Yangtze River waterway, then we in South Korea will not be able to develop." Zhang Liang said.

Han Shu nodded at this time, expressing great approval. Because, too, she saw this. Chu has a geographical advantage, while South Korea does not. Korea had to go beyond the state of Qin or the state of Chu in order to develop, which was very difficult for Korea.

"So, we have to avoid that in the first place." Zhang Liang continued at this time.

"We can use the Yangtze River waterway, but it can't be consistent with the coastline of Chu, so we need to open up a new location. Obviously, the discovery of this island means a lot to us. "Zhang Liang at this time. I clicked the telegram with my hand. And Han Fei on the side couldn't help nodding, obviously, he also agreed with this point of view.

"Not only that, but there are great benefits to the islands." At this time, Zhang Liang continued.

"The emergence of these islands has given us a new base area." Zhang Liang said.

"To develop inland, you need to develop along the coast. And as long as we establish a stronghold on the island, we can continue to develop along the coastline, we don't have to worry about conflict with the Chu people, as long as we quickly occupy the coast, we can control the entire island, once these islands control the coast, we can slowly develop inland. Zhang Liang said.

"In addition, the Chu people only targeted the slave trade." Zhang Liang pointed out another important discovery at this time. This is something he personally summed up.

"They're just slaves to development, and they don't care about other resources." Zhang Liang said.

"Actually, we value not only these slaves, but also the various resources on these islands, and we can use our education system to send more students, to discover, to practice, so that we can make full use of the local resources, which are far more valuable than those slaves." Zhang Liang said at this time.

And listen to these. Han Shu couldn't help nodding in agreement.

"Wonderful. Wonderful. Han Shu kept saying.

"Bang bang." As she spoke, she clapped her palms.

"The Vice-Chancellor's idea is wonderful, those resources are indeed far more valuable than those slave resources." Han Shu said at this time.

"The reason why the Chu country is big is because of the large number of resources. And our land area is so large, if we don't actively start a war with overseas colonies, then our land will be less and less, and the potential for our own development will be smaller and smaller. We in Korea will not be able to rise again. Han Shu said at this time.

"For the sake of the re-emergence of the widowed Korea, the widow believes that the vice minister's idea should be carried out." Han Shu said at this time.

"Thank you, the king." Zhang Liang respectfully thanked him at this time. Han Shu nodded.

The reason why Chu has developed so extensively without thinking about resources has a lot to do with their domestic education level. The basic education of the state of Chu is zero. Some education was only available to nobles and nobles. The general population is not eligible for such education. As a result, they are not aware of these concepts at all, and they can only judge them on the basis of their own initial understanding.

In other words, they not only lack a long-term strategic understanding, but also lack a certain level of knowledge to recognize the unexplored wilderness. As a result, they are only interested in what they recognize. For example, slave resources, in their understanding, slaves are very valuable, as long as they catch a lot of slaves.

They don't have any interest in the land, and all the other resources, and at the same time, they don't have any level of knowledge to know these things. This shows how important the level of education is to a country.

Think of the overseas colonial expansion of the British Empire, and before they discovered new islands, they often carried some university students on board, who were full of research spirit. For example, Darwin back then, he followed the British warship and discovered a lot of things. These things became important materials for his future "Origin of Species", without which there were no such studies and discoveries. I'm afraid Darwin won't be able to write this magnum opus.

That's exactly what happened. There is a strong focus on education throughout the UK. And the same is true in South Korea, where their top brass has this strategic understanding, and they are aware of it. If they also trade slaves, they will sell the same products as the people of Chu, then at that time. The two will clash, judging by the current power in South Korea. He didn't have the strength to fight against the Chu State. For this reason, South Korea needs to avoid these as much as possible.

So, this time in South Korea. In addition, they looked for a path, relying on their own relatively developed education system, sending a large number of college students, giving them projects, and providing opportunities. to complete the opportunity for South Korea's re-emergence.

"These new islands will also be a strategic space for us in South Korea in the future." Han Shu concluded.

"We Koreans should not go too much to the territory of Qin to immigrate." Han Shu said at this time.

Every year, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of Korea migrate to the newly established states of Qin, which have a certain degree of autonomy, and these rights attract a large number of people from the Six Kingdoms to immigrate to Qin. They became the new Qin people there. The Qin state relied on these immigrants to increase its population to varying degrees.

"We're going to have to emigrate and we're going to expand our population. Population is directly related to our soldiers. Han Shu said at this time. You know, South Korea's territory itself is already small. Then there is a certain limit to the size of his population. Not only that, but the size of his army was limited to a certain number. This made it difficult for them to resist the thunderous blow of the Qin State, not only the national strategic space was small. The size of the population is not enough to organize a large army. This is a big problem facing South Korea.

"Well, the widow is quite concerned about this matter, so it's better to let the deputy minister be responsible for this matter." Han Shu gave an order at this time.

"Minister, obey." Zhang Liang said respectfully at this time. Zhang Liang's conscience is naturally willing, not that he is willing to bring new opportunities for the rise of South Korea. Rather, because, he could have avoided a mass population massacre.

Zhang Liang himself was interested in this colonization of other places. I am very disgusted by the fact that people from other places are slaves in disguise, especially Han Shu's overseas colonial expansion, I don't know how many people will be killed for the sake of colonial expansion. In order to reduce killings, Zhang Liang had no choice but to come up with the trick of selling resources, but he didn't expect that this trick would still work. But for the matter of population. Zhang Liang was very disgusted. He doesn't want South Korea to do that. Because this kind of mere imitation will not bring much benefit to South Korea.

Zhang Liang believes that this will only increase the level of slaves in the Qin State, and the Qin State relies on these slaves to speed up the construction of its own country, which is not good news for South Korea.

At the same time, these slaves will greatly develop the Bashu land of Qin, so the strength of Qin's country will increase more and more, which is not good news for Korea.

Not only that, but there was no way to provide more land in Korea to absorb these slaves, who could only be used in agriculture. And South Korea simply does not have such a lot of land to offer. In this way, the demand for slaves in Korea was not very large.

Therefore, Zhang Liang is for the sake of his country. He was reluctant to get too involved in the slave trade.

Because, they can't anger another big country, and this big country is the state of Chu.

"That's right. The widow has been reading books recently, and he has not paid attention to the major events of the Qin State, and what actions can there be in the Qin State. Han Shu asked at this time.

Han Shu is also working hard to supplement her knowledge level, and South Korea is replenishing her knowledge level, and the number of bookstores in South Korea has increased from zero. The number of people in Korea has increased by more than 1,000 all at once, and the number of personal readers in Korea is rising rapidly. Han Shu's leading role is very obvious. Because their kings are studying, why should you not study?

"Qin State, nothing major happened." Zhang Liang said at this time.

"Oh. This is not like the Qin State. Han Shu said.

"Oh. That's right. The Qin State was holding a tax collection conference, and they were discussing how to reform their own taxation methods. Zhang Liang said at this time.

"We need to pay close attention to this." At this time, Han Shu gave special instructions.

"What else?" Han Shu asked.

"Also, the prime minister and the eldest princess of the Qin State are scheduled to get married on September 15." Zhang Liang wrote Buddhism at this time.

"What? Who's getting married? Han Shu asked anxiously at this time.

"The prime minister of the Qin State and the princess of Wenyang." Zhang Liang said.
