"In this matter, I think that General Li Mu's approach is correct, after all, what is the use of us asking for such a barren land?" That's when the councillor continued. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'm against it." At this moment, a thin young councillor stood up and looked at his age, that is, he was just in his early twenties, and how much money and prestige it would take to become a councillor at such an age.

"I don't think what this gentleman said is right." The skinny young man stood up and said loudly. Although his voice was a little immature, his tone was not at all suspicious, and such a young man behaved very strongly.

The young man's name is Zhang Ping, and the reason why he was able to serve as a member of the House of Commons is because he inherited his father's inheritance, his father was Korean, and later made a fortune in business in Zhao and became a member of Zhao Guo, his father accumulated a lot of money, and after Zhang Ping inherited the inheritance, he ran for office as a member of the House of Commons.

"The state of Zhao has its own colony, which means a lot. We should not ignore the positive aspects of the establishment of this colony. Zhang Ping said.

"We have a colony, and that colony is indeed very barren, and it was betrayed to us by the mountain Qiang, which may cause dissatisfaction among the mountain Qiang, but don't forget. Every year, the Qin people can get a lot of benefits from the mountain Qiang people, and this benefit is trade. The trade between the Qin people and the border tribes was extremely unequal. Zhang Ping said loudly.

"This asymmetry is very common, just give an example." Zhang Sheng waved his arm and said.

"A musket, the most ordinary flintlock pistol, in our place, I'm afraid, fifty and a half taels can't be sold, but when it comes to the mountain Qiang people, do you know how much a musket costs?" Zhang Sheng said loudly.

"It's hardware, hardware. The people of the Qin State are squeezing the blood and bones of the Qiang people in the mountains. Zhang Sheng said.

"It's so powerful, this Qin people are too ruthless. This, how many times the profit must be, no wonder. The people of Qin are willing to expand like this, and if this is the case, we can do the same. We are one gold cheaper than the people of Qin. Two golds, such a profit is also very considerable. I've heard that it is very cheap to import muskets from the Korean arsenal. Thirty-five and a half taels, and ten rounds of ammunition were sent, in this case, this colony of the Qiang people in the mountains had to be established. As soon as the other businessmen heard that it was profitable, they immediately changed their reluctant attitude and quickly switched to a supportive attitude.

"So, young man, I ask you, what if there is a conflict with the mountain Qiang? You know, those mountain Qiang people are very savage, we occupy their land, they will attack together, in this case, we will not be able to bear the loss in the end, we have to give up such land. What do we get in the end? An elderly MP asked.

"The land we bought is gone. What if you don't have any money spent? Are we going to spend a sum of money and mercenary soldiers to fight a war for us? The old man then asked.

"I'll ask you, old sir." Zhang Ping did not answer the old man's question.

"How did the people of the Qin State deal with such a thing?" At this time, Zhang Ping asked.

"This. The people of the Qin State did not solve this problem themselves. The old gentleman replied.

"No, we can refer to what the Qin people did in the Western Regions, they did not directly attack the people of the Western Regions, especially the attack of the Dawan people, but encouraged the merchants to do it themselves, after they withstood the attack of the Dawan people, the business immediately turned to their advantage, why, because the other party knew their strength, that is, as long as we resisted the mountain Qiang people, or rather, we didn't need to fight, we could stabilize the current situation, because the mountain Qiang people have been fighting with the Qin army for a long time, They didn't get a bargain at all, and in such a situation, it's hard to say whether they would attack or not, besides. We're just defending, defending, letting the mountain Qiang people know how powerful we are, and after we get through, we'll make peace. We were able to bring them a lot of profits. More materials can bring great help, in the face of such help, aren't the mountain Qiang people not moved? Zhang Ping then asked.

"The purpose of the fight is not to fight the mountain Qiang people, but for trade, because trade, it is very beneficial to us, the current Zhao State has produced a lot of iron, we are doing iron business more and more, we can sell to the mountain Qiang people. With such a supply, it is very beneficial to us, everyone has business to do, and there is money to be made, why don't Russia and Japan get involved? Zhang Ping asked.

"Moreover, this is the first colony of Zhao, and Zhao has a second, third, and fourth colonies, and there are already more colonies." Zhang Ping said.

"Our next step may not be on the side of the mountain Qiang people. Liaobei in the north, as well as Beihai, do business with the mountain people and the Xiongnu, and you can put it in Korea and do business with the Goguryeo people. There are also the Western Regions, the Dawan people, the rest people, and so on. As long as we can do business, we can bring huge profits, everyone has money to make, and the government has taxes to collect, why don't we support it, I think, this is also the reason why the people of Qin are very happy to do this. Zhang Ping analyzed.

"That's right. The young man was right. At this time, a member of parliament whispered.

"I read the newspaper, this news was first published in the newspapers of the Qin people, and later the newspapers of our Zhao State reprinted such news, and this news came out. And in terms of content, it was the Qin people who sent a telegram to General Li Mu. And General Li Mu is a soldier and a politician, how can they know what we businessmen think. The MP said.

"War can be controlled, that is, war, we can also fight a limited war, the purpose of fighting is not to fight, but to do business, the military has to serve us businessmen, to fight until the mountain Qiang people think that they are very good to do business with us, only in this way, we can be stable, establish our first colony, with such a colony, is the outpost of our trade, is our rear. Aren't we ready to start our business yet? Zhang Ping then asked.

"I think that the people of the Qin State must also be willing to do such a business with us, why, because the people of the Qin State can get greater profits, and their railway construction is also among them, otherwise, if they build the railway, there will be no need." Zhang Ping continued. Everyone nodded in agreement.
