"The general really has good eyesight. This is the Queen of Korea. Shang Wen explained.

"Zhao has not sent an envoy yet." Li Mu said.

"Please sit down, Queen." Shang Wen looked back and said. Han Shu was unwilling. She wants to stand with Shang Wen.

"South Korea is now friendly with Qin. It was an ally of the Qin State. Now that it has been recognized by the Qin State, what can the other countries do? Shang Wen said arrogantly.

"Is it impossible for Qin to send troops for Korea?" Li Mu said dissatisfiedly.

"No, South Korea itself will be able to resist the attack of the Zhao army. If it fails, Qin can mediate, and Yan is also willing to send troops to attack Zhao. I'm afraid Zhao Guo can't fight on two fronts. Shang Wen said directly.

"Little Korea, Yan Guo, General Ben is not afraid." Li Mu said disdainfully.

"Really? The shape of warfare has changed dramatically. The era of cold weapons is over. The era of hot weapons is about to begin. The power of muskets and cannons, don't the generals know? Shang Wen said.

"General Ben defeated more than 7,000 people in the Yan Kingdom in Lingshou. Isn't that enough? Li Mu played a card from Zhao Guo. This is a qualification card for negotiation.

Shang Wen shook his head.

"The general just defeated a brigade. Three brigades make up a division. If the Yan State sends a division, then how many people will the general have to die to defeat it. Shang Wen said slowly.

Li Mu was speechless. He knew these situations very well in his heart, but he was unwilling to lose to Shang Wen in momentum. This is only the beginning of negotiations between the two sides. If he loses the momentum, then Zhao Guo will have to face great passivity.

"Yan and Qin signed an alliance, and Korea also signed an alliance with Qin. For these two countries, the Qin State must take responsibility. Shang Wen said.

"The general was able to accept the mediation of the Qin State. Then it shows that the general has a lot of sincerity, and the Qin State also has a lot of sincerity. Shang Wen said back and forth.

"Sincerity? What kind of sincerity. Li Mu asked with caution.

"Commerce." Shang Wen said directly. Qin wanted to take the opportunity of mediation to open the door to commerce of the six countries.

"Commerce?" Li Mu asked.

"Could it be like the futures of the Qin State, absorbing all the grain of the Zhao State. Or sell the arms and absorb all the gold of Zhao State. Li Mu said sternly.

"The general only saw one side." Shang Wen argued.

"On the one hand. Isn't that the same side? For a long time, my Zhao State was not defeated by the Qin army. Rather, it was lost to the merchants. Li Mu said. After the food crisis appeared, Li Mu began to investigate the measures taken by the Qin State in various aspects, and he found that arms smuggling was more dangerous than grain. Arms sucked up a lot of gold. After entering the Qin state, this gold was exchanged for paper money. Some Qin banknotes had already begun to circulate in the Zhao state. Qin's banknotes were even linked to gold. Although Li Mu still doesn't know how much of a role paper money has, there is one point. This, in his opinion, is the source of a great crisis. The state of Qin gave up the attack with real swords and real guns. Instead use this invisible. The lethal effect far exceeds that of the army's offensive weapons. Commerce. Now, the state of Qin openly demanded trade. This is not clear, Qin's intention is to slowly change the influence of Zhao to Zhao. The word economy, maybe he doesn't understand it yet. Economic security, Li Mu didn't understand. But he knew. War needs these.

"Didn't the general see the changes in Zhao State? Zhao Guofu's family has begun to make some changes, haven't you noticed these? Shang Wen asked.

"The world is about to be unified. Unified. What is unity. It is to unify this nation. Save this nation from many disasters and disasters. Reunification requires more cohesion. It also needs a stronger force to unite this nation and the whole country. Trade would be able to accomplish such a great unification. Shang Wen said generously.

"Unification?" Li Mu shook his head slowly.

"Is Zhao just exporting grain? Zhao can develop Zhao's local industries, take Zhao Jun as an example. General, the Huns you fought did not dare to come to invade our Chinese border. But it has not been completely eliminated. After the large grasslands were occupied, they were surrendered. This goes on and on, and it eventually becomes a big disaster. However, the Qin state occupied a large grassland and became the meat supply area of the Qin state. Isn't it beautiful for the people to eat meat and strengthen their bodies and bones? Shang Wen said.

"This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Qin State has formed a large number of commercial armed forces. These commercial armies are not comparable to the regular army. But it can be eliminated gradually. Completely eradicate the few nomadic herders. They constantly took the initiative, harassed, attacked a few nomads, and robbed their cattle, sheep, and horses. plundered their population as slaves. These slaves were driven to the land by the Great Qin to provide planting and grazing. Such a development. How could Great Qin not be strong. What kind of life did the people of Qin live, and what kind of life did the people of Zhao live. Two to the next compare. Do you still need to fight? Shang Wen said.

"Whew." Li Mu let out a big breath. No need to compare. Li Mu already knew that Zhao Guo had lost.

"I'm here to send a message to the general. If Zhao does not reform, I am afraid it will be difficult to sustain itself. For Zhao Jun. I admire it. I also admire the bravery of those soldiers. But the bravery of these soldiers could not protect their brothers and sisters. When Great Qin swept away the Xiongnu, he rescued many such people. They're not as good as dogs. After the Qin army came, how did they live. The Huns, the Hu people, and the Yueshi are not as good as the dogs. Shang Wen said loudly.

Li Mu was completely speechless.

"The Zhao army was brave but used in the civil war. This is a civil war of the nation. But it gave foreigners an opportunity to take advantage of. Shang Wen said.

"Shame on the Civil War."

"I have not sent a single army to attack the Six Nations since I became Prime Minister. On the contrary, the army frequently attacks those minorities. In order to assume a national responsibility. Shang Wen said.

"For this responsibility. During my tenure as Prime Minister, I will not take the initiative to attack the Six Nations. Unless forced to do so. Qin also hoped that the Six Nations would participate in foreign wars. If the Zhao army is willing to send troops to attack the foreigners. The state of Qin is willing to provide all conveniences. At the same time, Zhao Guo can also profit from this. Shang Wen improvised an idea. Originally, I came here for the purpose of negotiations. Because both sides have different requirements. In order to gain a common point of understanding in different requirements. It is very important to find out.

Li Mu's mind was a little hot-headed by Shang Wen. But he calmed down strongly. Qin's intentions were far away. This is Li Mu's preliminary understanding. Because, the prime minister's vision has far exceeded his own cognition.
