2069 stabilized the situation
"This is the minutes of the House of Commons' own record. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info are all here. Especially what the young man Zhang Ping said, I gave a special excerpt. Li Zuoche said to Li Mu. Li Mu put on his glasses and looked at it.
"This young man's opinion is not simple." Li Mu looked at it a little and said. For the discussion at the House of Commons session. Li Mu heard about it later, because it showed that this matter had attracted the attention of all strata of the Zhao State. The members of the House of Commons are from the common class, especially the merchant class. The Lords, on the other hand, were mainly aristocratic opinions, and their opinions were only those of reference, because they could not give constructive opinions. Li Mu is very unkind to the House of Lords, because they are always vexatious.
"I think it's just a difference in perspective." Li Zuoche expressed his opinion.
"Oh. Tell us what you think. Li Mu said to Li Zuoche.
"My opinion is that this Zhang Ping is a businessman, he thinks about problems, and he thinks more from the perspective of businessmen, for example, trade, the prime minister has not personally done business, and he can't do business with these people, so he naturally doesn't know what sells fast and what can be sold, but businessmen are different, what they do is this, in terms of details, they know more than the prime minister knows." Li Zuoche said.
"The prime minister, on the other hand, considers the problem from a military perspective and a political perspective." Li Zuoche said.
"Prime Minister think. What is our starting point? Li Zuoche said.
"We are thinking about the interests of the Zhao State. If Zhao Guo gets this land, what kind of reaction will there be, and the businessmen, thinking about the actual economic interests, their interests are very realistic, and our interests seem to be very realistic, but in fact, there are a lot to consider, to be comprehensive. Li Zuoche explained.
"Huh." Li Mu laughed.
"Prime Minister, this is." Li Zuoche looked at Li Mu puzzled.
"I'm laughing at you, you can be a councilor." Li Mu said with a smile.
"This. I thought, people have to choose me. Li Zuoche said.
"Huh." Li Mu laughed.
"However, what Zhang Ping said is quite reasonable, especially the sentence of controlling the war." Li Mu said.
"The previous wars were uncontrollable, and there was a tendency to escalate, but the Qin people could effectively control the course of the war, especially in some places, they could fight if they wanted to, and if they didn't want to fight, they had to withdraw immediately, which was completely different from the previous Qin army's style of fighting, and the Qin army fought for a purpose." Li Mu said.
"That is to say, the Qin people fought the war entirely for the benefit of the merchants, so if it continued, their continuity would be strong, and they would not hurt the national capital because the war dragged on for a long time. There had been such a thing in the Qin State before, and they needed to recover for a long time to reach their previous level. And the current national capital of the Qin State cannot be harmed at all. Li Mu analyzed.
"It seems that we should have this land." Li Mu said. In fact, some of Zhang Ping's words solved some of Li Mu's doubts, what is the purpose of the Qin State, and the people of the Qin State will not give the Zhao State a colony for no reason. What is the rationale and why it is being done. And Zhang Ping's explanation is business. Synthesizing the expansion of the Qin State in any period before, he found that the expansion of the Qin State became very clear, this is the commercial demand, especially the Qin State is currently stopped at the gate of the Western Regions, the Qin people have occupied a Qin State Western Regions, but they have stopped advancing in the Great Western Regions, in addition to many reasons themselves, an important reason is the commercial factor, railway transportation can not keep up, and at the same time, their commercial development cooperation also needs to continue. And when Qin's attention was focused on the Western Regions, his flanks and rear, especially the mountainous Qiang people on the plateau on the flank of the Hexi Corridor, made Qin have no time to take care of it. Instead of putting tens of thousands of troops on the defensive line, it is better to take the initiative to withdraw. Let the Zhao people establish their own colonies.
And there is a natural limitation to such a colony. First of all, the grain production in the plateau area is very limited, which determines that the number of people cannot be too large, and it must rely heavily on the railway transportation of the Qin State.
The second is that Zhao also has to deal with the attacks of the mountain Qiang people, as well as the development of trade, which requires Zhao to be flexible. Actually, this colony belonged to Zhao, but in fact it was federal, or loosely confederacy. In this case, Zhao's control over the colony was actually very weak. But this was beneficial for the development of the colony. Because there are no more restrictions on the development of the colony.
The last point is. Dealing with the problems of the Qiang people in the mountains. The purpose of controlling the war and fighting the mountain Qiang people is for trade, and trade is difficult to avoid conflicts, and the protection of soldiers is needed, but the protection is very moderate, and this degree is to protect trade. In this way, the development of the colony entered a virtuous circle.
"One more point, is the attitude of the people of the Qin State?" Li Mu said.
"You know, the colony established has close ties with the Qin State, if the Zhao State and the Qin State are at odds, what will be the result?" Finally, Li Mu was worried.
"This." Li Zuoche thought about it and said.
"I don't think the people of the Qin State would do this." Li Zuoche said.
"Why?" Li Mu asked.
"Because Qin has an open prime minister." Li Zuoche said.
"The reason why the Qin State was able to occupy the Western Regions and stabilize the Western Regions was to a large extent because of the prime minister of the Qin State." Li Zuoche said.
"Hmm." Li Mu nodded.
"That's right." Li Mu said.
"In that case, this colony, we want it." Li Mu said.
"However, we can't wait for us to speak, but the House of Lords itself will come to this conclusion, and that's all. Only then can we build our own colony. Li Mu said.
"Hmm. Let's wait. Li Zuoche said.
Xianyang, Qin State.
"Our Korean army is going to launch an attack on the Chu army stationed in Langya. Attack by land and sea. Zhang Liang introduced to Meng Yi. Meng Tian on the side nodded. He was very clear about South Korea's strategic purpose, and he had been an officer who had accurately analyzed South Korea's movements.
"What can we do in the Qin State?" At this time, Meng Yi asked.
"We hope that the Qin side can win more support." Zhang Liang said.
"We need the support of all countries, and without this, it will be difficult for us to control the war, and the war may expand further, which is the last thing we want to see." Zhang Liang said to Meng Yi.
