The Prime Minister's Mansion of the State of Qin.

"Tu Sui said that the rest side wants to start trade with us, and they are very afraid of the military strength of our Qin army, so their military operations are extremely limited. So, they want to make peace with us. Wei Yu reported to Shang Wen.

"Peace talks?" Shangwen asked.

"Yes, peace talks. They want us to be able to sell them a lot of military weapons, according to the information we get. In particular, judging from the news sent by Meng Tian, it seems that the Sabbatarians have launched a greater attack on Serius further west. Therefore, they want to have a huge advantage in weapons. Wei Yu said to Shang Wen.

"In this regard, we can export some weapons to them, after all, they have such needs, and at the same time, if the peace talks are successful, it can effectively ensure the current state of the new Dawan government, after all, their situation is very bad. If there is a very large riot, the situation will be very serious. Wei Yu said to Shang Wen.

"The opinion of the Ministry of Defense is to accept their peace talks?" Shangwen asked.

"Yes, we think that the current peace talks are of great significance, after all, from the actual control area of Li Xin's ministry to the new Dawan government, it still needs a great improvement in the traffic situation, for the time being, this season may have to wait until four months later, four months is very dangerous, once the rest cavalry bypasses the defense line of the Qin expeditionary force, which is extremely limited, they will be shocked to find that the defense is so empty, they can launch an attack. However, from another point of view, the winter battle launched by the Sabbatarians has consumed a lot of their military strength, and with the extension of the combat distance, they may no longer be able to attack again, but this is only a speculation, and if the other side does make a detour to the rear of our expeditionary force, we will not be able to do anything. Wei Yu said.

"Hmm. It seems that we have only one way to make peace with them. Shang Wen said.

"On the other side are the Tocharians, judging from the attitude of the Tocharians, the Tocharians do not seem to be willing to have direct contact with the Sabbatarians, their military strength is small, their national strength cannot be greatly expanded, and their domestic resources are not very large, in this case, they seem to be unwilling to launch further wars." Wei Yi said.

"In other words, peace talks are inevitable?" Meng Yi said on the side.

"Yes, peace talks must be made, we in the Qin State do not want to have greater combat operations to affect the trade of the Qin State, and several states of the Qin State already have big complaints. If you don't take action, I'm afraid. Wei Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, we can let Meng Tian take care of this matter, we need a peaceful environment to trade, this peace ends here, the loss of a Dawan kingdom is a situation that we all want to see. As for the friction in the future, I think, it will be up to them to solve it themselves. Right now, we need peace, and we give it to them. Shang Wen said. Wei Yu nodded. Meng Yi didn't nod, he just thought about the subsequent development of the situation, war was no longer a theme. What they need is more opportunities for development, and only trade can further develop them.

Western, within today's Thailand. Inside the King Plantation.

"Don't worry about food, food is not a problem, it's a great place to grow rice, so it's planted on a large scale." Keiliu said. He is the main person in charge of Jing's plantation, and the more he is the steward.

"It's just that the problem of food is not a problem, there are already many places where rice can be grown directly, and the rainfall is very abundant, and we have already had a harvest after we came here. However, we have too few people. The land here is very fertile, but there are not enough people to cultivate it, which is really tricky. Jing Fang was embarrassed to report his problem.

"Hmm. Slaves, aren't there slave ships coming here? Just those slaves, those slaves can be exchanged for grain, or some local specialty, not ivory, or something else? In other words, our goal is millions of acres of land, and the current land is too little. Keiliu said.

The Jing family is a big family among the nobles of the Chu State, but they also have many branches, in the Chu State, the Jing family has a lot of power, they control the place of the Chu State, and the Central Council, and even the financial power of the Chu government must obey them, otherwise the Chu government will not get a penny at all.

In the process of foreign expansion, the Jing clan was ahead of the Chu nobles, they occupied the coastal areas of today's Burma, as well as the western part of Thailand, as well as most of the coastal areas, and they migrated a large number of Jing's side branches to reclaim here, their land can be more terrifying, but this still cannot meet their needs. Because their goal is tens of thousands of acres of land, the more land the better, they are traditional aristocrats, and they attach great importance to agriculture and the development of agriculture.

"It's just that the demand for grain is not very large, we should grow some other things, for example, sugarcane, which can squeeze sugar, Qin State, Chu State has a great domestic demand, as well as tea, silk and other things, these can be sold to the Mengla people, only in this way, we can have greater economic value, blindly growing food, there is not much economic value." Jing Fang proposed at this time.

"I know this, there are already people in Huangzhou who grow tea, and it is also a grafting technology from Qin, which is very easy to use, and the output is very large, these teas have made a lot of money among the Mengla people, but don't forget. We have a lot of land. But it takes more manpower, and deep in the forest who knows if there are any damned natives, it's really annoying to think of them. Keiliu said.

"This. I have a suggestion to fix this. Jing Fang said.

"Tell me about it." Keiliu said.

"We can import a large number of slaves from the Menla. Arm them and let them fight, we can control them with just a few officers, and in addition to these, we have a large demand for slaves who can also help us solve all our problems. Jing Fang said.

"Hmm. It's just that there are a lot fewer slave ships lately, and I don't know what's going on. Jingliu said after listening to it. For such a proposal, he did not think that the expansion of the Chu State was very fast, but a big problem was exposed, although the Chu State had a large population, there were too many overseas colonies. Their demographic superiority is not evident in the vast expanse of the land. The state of Chu urgently needed a large number of slaves to complete the reclamation of the land, as well as the plantation activities. Otherwise, they would have lost a lot of money in their economic parks, and the labor force they could provide in the country was very limited, which had to make them move to the nearby country of Bangladesh, where the population had a great advantage.

Chu State, Pengcheng.

"Look, this is a telegram from a few nobles, these telegrams are from their plantations, and they have a great need for slaves." Fan Zeng said to Chen Ping, who came back to report on the work.

"Slaves, they all need a lot of slaves?" Chen Ping asked.

"Yes, and the demand is so big, so big that I don't even know how to meet their needs. According to their reports, there were some Meng-Lah slaves who could meet their needs, but after the war, the supply of these slaves was much reduced or completely absent. This led directly to a surge in the demand for slaves, the local agricultural resources are different from ours, they have cultivated a lot of farmland, but there is not enough labor to plant, and the Monglad slaves can do this, while the local natives, they will only destroy. There are also some reports. It was obtained from the Koreans. Fan Zeng found a telegram and handed it to Chen Ping.

"Although there are many Chu troops in the country and a lot of labor, when they go to the West, they are nothing at all, and the worst thing is that the army. We have too few people. The other side can gather tens of thousands of troops at once, and we can only transport a few thousand people to get there, which is already our limit. We need local people to help us build our own army, at least they can solve a lot of our problems, I think, we should learn about this point Qin State, Qin people attracted the Huns, Western Regions, Yueshi, Mountain people to fight for them, and our Chu State, but Chu people themselves to fight, in terms of military salary, has scale, we have more advantages than Qin, I hope, we can open such a situation as soon as possible, or control a country, let them enslave another countryThis makes it much easier for us to operate. Fan Zeng said.

"It's a good idea, but it's still difficult to do, at least in terms of training, and those Menglas still have a lot of difficulty. I've heard that there are already some businessmen who do this. But the results were bad. Chen Ping said worriedly. He felt that it was a good strategy to recruit locals as servants of his army, and the Qin people did just that, so that the Qin would have more labor to produce, but this also brought another problem, and that was the problem of training. The army of the Ziqin State still has racial problems, such as the development of the army, and the Chu State seems to have such problems. But Fan Zeng doesn't seem to care about that.

"There will be no problem with this, we can let Zhao Guoren solve these problems, they have a lot of training, they have a lot of tactical ability, we can do what they want. We don't have to worry about that. Fan Zeng said very easily. The Zhao army is a strong army, and their training methods are naturally very powerful.
