"The damn battle is finally over. "Newton said after taking a sip www.biquge.info of a kettle.
Then he went on to drink all the jug of water.
"The battle is finally over." Li Kai looked at the Qin cavalry that kept coming in, and felt that the burden on his shoulders was suddenly much lighter.
Under the command of the army staff, Qin reinforcements quickly came up in the evening when the mountain was about to set, and they strengthened their defensive positions and launched some tentative attacks at the same time. The situation of the Western Regions Restoration Army will be very bad.
"Let me take a look at our heroes." Wang Er said with a smile. After a series of rapid marches, he finally reached the front,
"Well, that's good." A lieutenant walked over while leading the king.
"Well, that's good. He deserves to be our hero, and he deserves it. Wang He said with a smile.
"What's your name?" Wang asked Li Kai.
"Li Kai, sir." Li Kai was a little tired.
"Hmm. You're that? Huns, I think you are the highest commander here. Wang then asked.
"Newton." Newton replied.
"Hmm. You're doing a great job. The fight is very tenacious. Very impressive to our people. Wang He said with a smile.
"Because of your presence, you have managed to prevent a large number of Western Regions Restoration Army from returning to their bases." Wang and commented.
"This battle, you will be written in the annals of history." The king was encouraged.
Newton was somewhat silent.
"I'll give you military medals. Rest well. My heroes. Wang He patted Li Kai, and Newton whispered on the shoulder. Then he motioned for them to go down and get some rest. They won't be in the next battle. Reinforcements arrived anyway. They can enjoy a large supply of military supplies.
"Let's go." Newton said to Li Kai. And Li Kai looked back at the place where the people from the Western Regions were located. There was already a lot of gunfire there, because of the fast march. The artillery units of the Qin army did not keep up, so there was no artillery preparation, but the rifles in the hands of the Qin army were enough to suppress the opponent.
"They will soon destroy these Western Regions Restoration Army, and the next battle. We don't need to. Li Kai said.
"We're tired. It's better to trim it up. Newton said to Li Kai.
"I can go back and have a good drink. Such a victory cannot be celebrated without good wine. Newton smiled and left.
With the arrival of reinforcements from the Qin army, the war quickly entered a white heat, and even the rare air airships came to participate. Because it was night, the Qin army fired numerous flares into the air as an indication, and a large number of bombs were thrown on the heads of the people of the Western Regions. Only after two and a half hours of fighting. The Western Regions Restoration Army surrendered. More than 3,000 people lined up with their weapons and surrendered to the Qin army.
Xianyang, Qin State. From seven to nine o'clock in the morning, this time period is the busiest time on the streets of Qinguo. Everybody has to go to work.
The office area of the bank's top management.
"Oh my God. The impact on banks is just too great. A bank executive was surprised to see the headline on the front page of a newspaper holding a newspaper.
"Surprised, huh?" Just when the bank executive was surprised. A well-dressed senior executive came over and said to the senior with a newspaper.
"Yes. So surprised. This is definitely a revolutionary shock to the bank's operation. I told the senior management who came over.
"I think our board of directors will have an urgent meeting." The top executive said.
"Alright. Stop it. Let's hurry up and take a look, maybe such a meeting has already begun. The senior with the newspaper quickly put it away and walked towards his office.
Sure enough, yes. When the major banks in Xianyang saw the newspaper in the morning, they urgently convened a meeting to discuss the document issued by the Prime Minister's Office in the newspaper to encourage the development and growth of investment banks, and it may become a commercial law, which will have a great impact on the banks.
In a small-scale meeting of Wenyang high-level management.
"I'm sure everyone has read the newspaper about it." Yingyu said directly to the point.
"This is the direction of the development of Qinguo Commercial Bank, this is the content of yesterday's meeting in the main hall." Yingyu said directly.
"Wenyang Bank itself has an investment bank, but the scale is not very large, compared with the commercial banking business of lending, the proportion is not very large, therefore, in the future, Wenyang Bank Investment Bank, and other banks will have the function of investment. The relevant license change will be approved by the Prime Minister's Office at a later date, and I think it will be very fast. Yingyu said very confidently.
"I would say, do you have a fresh perspective on the new business?" Yingyu asked everyone.
"Hmm. Chairman. We need to think about it. Do some research. One executive said.
"Hmm. OK. But it won't be too much, because I think at this time, there are other banks that are also in the meeting. Yingyu said.
"Zhao Guo has participated in many projects, for example, in the future, they can build a steel plant, we can participate, and a cement plant can be built. In addition, there are some small projects, for example, glass, leather manufacturing, etc., these small factories can also be involved in these small factories, they lack a lot of capital, as long as their project is suitable, I think, many of our equivalent banks can participate in it. The representative of Zhao Guo said.
"Hmm. Yes, you can do it yourself. Don't be too afraid of risk. Be bold. Now there are many opportunities, and business is very good. As long as we do well enough to make a profit, that's fine. Yingyu said.
"Speaking of which, I want to emphasize one point here, that is, the company's profitability and future development prospects are the main and key projects we invest in." Yingyu emphasized.
"Zhao Guotie Plant's plan is very good. For his reference, the iron factory has a large number of shares, and we all have these shares. Not only that, but the liquidity of the shares is also very good, and we can sell it on the stock market of Zhao Guo, and we can sell it quickly. In this way, we can withdraw funds quickly and efficiently, which is very good for us. Yingyu introduced.
"Therefore, the next investment we want to make must be the shares of companies that can be listed as soon as possible, and we will make a big deal when we get hold of their shares." Yingyu said.
"Hmm. Chairman, there's one more thing that I think we should reflect on. At this time, the representative of Zhao raised his hand and said.
"What's the matter?" Yingyu asked.
"Stockbroking firms. In Zhao, many people began to organize the establishment of such companies. They underwrote a large number of shares, collected the shares in the hands of the nobles to sell, and then sold them in a centralized manner, and obtained profits, which they extracted according to the proportion of profits. I think we can also hire it, or we can do it ourselves. Zhao Guo's representative said.
"Hmm. We are the best at this kind of financial business and can participate in it. In addition, there is a possibility that the shares of these companies will be listed in Qin, or they will be sold on the spot. Yingyu thought for a moment.
"Whatever the means, as long as you can make a profit in a short period of time. Or make a profit in a valid period, it's okay. Yingyu was encouraged.
"So, chairman, can it be put in more market areas, for example, Yanguo, or Qiguo market, these can be." Representatives from other regions spoke one after another.
"Either way. As long as you can make money on a large scale, you can. In addition, in the content of this meeting, everyone should also pay attention to the colonial economy of various countries, and the Qin State allowed the capital of us bankers to enter these areas to develop the colonial economy of various countries. This is another important business investment opportunity for us. Yingyu introduced.
"Hmm. This is an opportunity. After hearing these things, the major delegates nodded their heads and said. For them, such an opportunity is too rare.
Sinzheng, South Korea.
"Have you read today's newspaper in the Qin Kingdom?" Han Shu asked Zhang Liang.
"The minister has already seen it." Zhang Liang replied.
"Hmm. I wonder what the prime minister thinks? Han Shu asked.
"The minister thinks this is an opportunity." At this time, Zhang Liang said.
"Oh. Opportunity? What kind of opportunities? Han Shu asked.
"At present, our South Korean commercial banks have a small space for development, so only the development of the outside, especially the development of the colony can have prospects, if the bank opens up investment at this time, we can use this part of the funds to complete what we want to accomplish, the introduction of Qin funds, our bank funds can expand a large part, whether from the point of view, and the way of operation, these are very beneficial to our development. But there is one precondition. Zhang Liang said.
"What kind of prerequisites?" Han Shu then asked.
"That is, South Korea should open up the road to the sea as soon as possible, only in this way will the investment risk of funds be reduced, and the capital of Qin can be quickly introduced, otherwise, everything is empty talk." Zhang Liang said.
"Hmm. The prime minister is right. Han Shu nodded.
"I understand that, too." Han Shu said.
"It's just that there has been no news from the military side. We now have very few troops. Not having an absolute advantage, the state of logistics, although it is well reported, but I am still very worried, after all, this is a war. Han Shu said worriedly.
"The minister believes that our South Korean side should be prepared for the possibility of a second increase in troops." Zhang Liang suggested.
"Second increase?" Han Shu asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang nodded in acknowledgement.
"No, if you do that, you're going to make a big deal out of it. You must know that we must control the scale of this war, and if we can't control it, the war will get bigger and bigger, and a lot of financial expenditures will increase, and South Korea will not have such a lot of money. Han Shu said.
The minister believed that only by increasing the number of support troops for the second time could the matter of access to the sea be more securely resolved. We have only two reinforced regiments, no more than five or six thousand men. But the other side has 15,000 people, such a gap is very large, if the Chu State reinforcements are sent, we need to block them, and the lack of troops is the biggest weakness. Zhang Liang said at this time.
"Hmm." Han Shu nodded. Admit to.
"That's what worries me the most." Han Shu said.
"It's just that I'm worried that the war will expand, and that's the last thing South Korea wants to see." Han Shu said.
"The minister is also worried about this, but it is useless to worry about it, and the result of the war will still be fought." Zhang Liang said.
"Hmm. All right. Communicate more with the Qin people to see if they can control the scope of the war, and it is best to mediate in time. Han Shu said.
"I understand." Han Shu had actually agreed to send reinforcements.
"What do you think should be used for reinforcements?" Han Shu then asked.
"I think it's better to send cavalry. After all, they are fast, and if they attack at this time, I think we can support them very quickly. Han Shu said.
The minister also thinks so. The ROK Marine Corps that was sent out before was an infantry and artillery unit, and it lacked a lot of mobility, so if there was support from the mobile force at this time, I think the problem would be solved quickly. Zhang Liang continued.
"Hmm. In this way, a reinforced cavalry regiment was sent to support. Han Shu ordered.
Zhao Guo Handan.
"The people of the Qin State are really generous. That way, we don't have to borrow money. Let the people of the Qin State get involved, and that's it. Li Mu put down the newspaper in his hand and said.
"What does the prime minister mean to let the Qin people invest in our colonies?" Li Zuoche asked on the side.
"Yes." Li Mu nodded.
"What? Isn't that possible? Li Mu asked.
"Yes, it's only with the promise of Qin Guoye. The bankers of the Qin State are very shrewd, they are all money counters, and they can calculate the funds very much. If they lose out on business. That's called a monster. Li Zuoche said.
"That's right." Li Mu nodded.
"However, the people of the Qin State will definitely do this kind of business, and this kind of business can't be asked for." Li Mu smiled and said.
"It's an opportunity, and with an opportunity like this, we have to give it a try. If we don't give it a try, how do we know that the people of the Qin State are not willing to do this. Li Mu said.
"There are a lot of banks in the Qin people, and there are always a few of them who are willing, and venture capital, venture capital, there will be investment if there is a risk, otherwise what will they do." Li Mu said.
"That's too." Li Zuoche nodded.
"It's just that we need some things, and we need to deal with some business matters at this time." Li Zuoche suggested at this time.
"Hmm. In my opinion, the main thing is to contact the Wenyang Bank of Qin, because no one dares to do such a thing, and if the bank is small, it will not be able to meet our capital needs. Medium, they can't afford to take a bigger risk. In short, it's hard. Li Mu said.
"Hmm." Li Zuoche nodded and recorded it.
"Look at what the conditions of the Qin people are, what can we do?" Li Mu said.
"Say yes to what you can." Li Mu said. For the investment of the Qin people. Li Mu thought it was a surprise, because he had originally planned to borrow money from the Qin State. But the Qin State that did not expect it issued such an order at this time to encourage commercial banks to invest, in this way, Li Mu transferred to the matter of investment, after all, if you attract investment, things can be done faster, loans, many times is very time-consuming, if there is no profit to be made in the purchase of such a thing as a colony, the bank is not willing to participate in it, but if it participates in the operation, and the future prospects are very good, maybe the people of Qin will consider participating, which is what Li Mu needs. What he needs is for the people of Qin to participate, rather than simply giving the funds to the people of Zhao and letting the people of Zhao do it themselves.
Jangliang Port on Queen Island, South Korea.
"How's it going in the last few days?" A Korean colonial official at the port asked.
"Come one, we'll send one, in the past half a month, there have been about five ships." A minor official next to him replied.
"That's too little." The officer shook his head repeatedly.
"It's too little. But there is no way, this season, all the ships go to the south. There are even fewer who can come back. It will take a few months to come back, and it is estimated that it will be when the storm season comes, and if it is too late, it will be difficult to come back. The petty official said.
"This." The official said with some embarrassment. They were told to mobilize as much fleet as possible to support the northern war, but their ships went out. There is simply no way to accomplish such a task. He knew that the commander of the navy was very anxious. But there is no way. They don't have a boat in their hands. If you don't have a boat, you can't do anything.
"How about a new ship?" The officer then asked.
"Hmm. Three ships can be launched in the last day or two, and two more in the next seven days. The little official said, snapping his fingers.
"It's too late. There are too few boats. It's too late to do that. The official said.
The petty official didn't know what kind of things he was worried about, and the officials didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask.
"Forget it. I'll go see somewhere else, you can get busy. The official said at this time. The petty official looked at it and didn't care.
Korean warships and armed merchant ships were scattered across the South Seas, and they plundered frantically for a large amount of various supplies. All kinds of rare wood, spices, sea pearls, and slaves, as long as they could sell them for a lot of money, they did it. It can be said that they are all a pack of hungry wolves. Therefore, there will be a lot less ships in Changliang Harbor on Queen Island, South Korea, unless they come back intensively. If it weren't for the storm, they would rarely actively choose where to stop. Most of them will take the initiative to go to the northern Qi country, where it is a good place for them to sell their goods.
Qi country.
"Five and a half taels, if you don't do it, if you don't do it, leave." A Qi official bowed his head and said.
"Dry. I do. One farmer nodded.
"Good. Take the tools and go to the queue over there. Enough for twenty people, go to work together, and get it done. in order to have wages. Go ahead. The little official said impatiently. Then he motioned for the other party to leave.
At this time, the Qi country in the north happened to be a time of slack farming, the wheat had already sprouted, and there was not much to do in the fields, it was really a time of slack farming, and South Korea had to sponsor the Qi country to build a road in order to solve the problem of logistics supply. But the road is simply smoothed and then rammed. Then it's a matter of sprinkling some gravel. In some places, in order to cut corners, they simply don't sprinkle. Anyway, such things will not be checked, and they can also save a lot of money in their own pockets.
"Next." The little official shouted loudly.
And on the construction site of the road, the nearby Qi people rushed to come, they heard that they gave five and a half taels a day here, so they came to try their luck, sure enough, as long as the road was built, they would give money, these Qi people were naturally willing to do it, in order to make more money, some women also participated, after all, they could get three and a half taels, although there were two less, but in this kind of farming when they got such a generous reward, it is still very little.
"Good job." On a high ground not far away, Tian Heng took the telescope in his hand to check the surrounding situation.
"With such a highway, our traffic capacity will be much higher in the future, and the four-wheeled carriages made by the Qin State will be able to travel. The cargo capacity will be greatly increased, and the transportation will be very convenient. Tian Heng said with a smile.
"This is only a temporary solution to the problem of freight, and the fundamental problem is that a railway needs to be built, without which there is no railway. It is not possible to fundamentally increase the volume of transportation. Lou Jing on the side said.
"Hmm. That's right. Tian Heng nodded and said.
"I also think that railways should be built. However, for the construction of the railway, the South Korean side promised to contribute funds, and we were willing to use things like land as collateral, but the matter of funds has passed for a long time. It still hasn't been well resolved. Tian Heng said worriedly.
"My lord, perhaps, it will take some time to solve it." Lou Jing comforted.
"I hope so." Tian Heng nodded.
"However, the biggest point of this road is not to increase the volume of freight. Rather, it's a hypothetical cable. With the cable, this telegram can go directly to the coastal area, and in this way, our Qi country will be able to solve the communication problem greatly. Tian Heng said.
"The biggest weakness of our Qi country is that the information is different, the latest news we get is the news of others seven days ago, seven days, a full seven days. That's too much time for us. With the telegraph, we can save a lot of time, and the reaction time will be much faster than before. Tian Heng said with satisfaction.
"This is natural, if our army is equipped with telegraphs, then such information will be much faster." Lou Jing said.
"Hmm. The Koreans have already done this for us. Tian Heng said.
"If the Koreans want to attack the Chu people, the intelligence and information transmission must be fast, and they have to help if they don't help." Lou Jing said.
"Yes." Tian Heng nodded and said.
