"I'm not in the third year of my tenure." Shang Wen asked Yingyu at this time.

"Yes. What's wrong? At this time, Yingyu asked.

"Oh. I think the next election for prime minister will be much more intense. Shang Wen said at this time.

"yes." At this time, Yingyu said.

"So fast. You have less than a year to go before you become prime minister in four years. "This time. Yingyu asked.

"Yes." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Are you interested in continuing to serve as the next prime minister?" This time. Yingyu asked.

"Oh. I. Shang Wen shook his head at this time.

"Not interested?" Yingyu asked as she drove.

"Me. I do not know. Shang Wen waved his hand at this time and said.

"I don't know. It's true. Shang Wen said at this time.

"The responsibility of being prime minister is too great. I felt a little overwhelmed. And, in the future. I really don't have the confidence to continue in office. It's so tiring. Shang Wen said at this time looking at the scenery outside the window.

"I feel like you're a little tired right now." Yingyu said at this time.

And Shang Wen looked at the scenery outside the window and did not speak. Yingyu drove silently. And Shangwen doesn't know where the future lies. The Qin State is currently facing many problems. Moreover, in the future, internal and external problems need to be cleared in order to move forward.

On the surface, the Qin State was very large. Advanced. But in fact, the Qin State could not carry on the unification war of the Qin State. There were many factors that counterbalanced the unification of the Qin state. The situation in the north attracted most of Qin's forces. At the same time, the developed economy did not require the huge military expenditures of the Qin state. Because military spending is too much, it will suppress the development of the economy. That kind of development is too simple, and Shang Wen least wants to see it.

In addition to the defense factor. Qin's capital output also did not want Qin's rapid unification. Everyone knew that war was going to happen. Qin's economic taxes would have increased very highly. This is definitely not a good thing for the economy. Shangwen's "May Tax Case" suppressed the variability of taxation.

This tax case will stabilize Qin's taxes. Moreover, Qin's taxes were the lowest among the six kingdoms. It is precisely because of the situation of the lowest taxes. As a result, the Qin state was unable to support a larger war. Government revenues and expenditures are extremely unbalanced. The Qin State spent a lot of money. Everywhere you go. In desperation, Qin continued to issue bonds. And the other side. The low tax greatly stimulated the economic development of the Qin state. But at the same time, it also put the Qin state in a state of imbalance. Moreover, this state of affairs will remain in place for quite some time. This time is the time when the tax bill is repealed.

"Catch them." Just when Yingyu and Shangwen drove down the mountain. A company of the Qin army on the mountain was also struggling to capture the Mo family's people.

"They're up front. Chase after it. At this time, a platoon leader said loudly. He commanded his men to move forward quickly.

"Bang." A soldier opened fire.

"Got it. Beat. The platoon commander said.

"It's right ahead. Look, the black clothes in front. "This time. One of the soldiers said loudly.

"Shoot." The platoon commander immediately shouted loudly.

"Bang. Bang. "The sound of shooting was heard immediately.

"We hit them." This time. One of the soldiers shouted.

"Come forward and grab them. See if they're dead. The platoon commander waved his hand.

As he spoke, two soldiers stepped forward, their rifles raised and aimed ahead. Then slowly approach.

"A few more people. Cover them. The platoon commander waved at this time. Then he kept approaching with a few people.

The Qin army troops, who were searching separately, split up several more at once. One company was divided into three battle groups. And the three battle groups were separated by some distance from each other.

One of the Qin soldiers on the far side kept approaching with the rifle in his hand.

He was to cover the security of the flanks. But he was too focused on what's ahead.

"Poof." Just as the soldier passed by a large tree. A flash of lightning flew quickly. Then there was the sound of blood spurting.

The soldier's neck was severed by a sharp sword. The soldier fell to the ground with a thud and died.

"What a sound." At this time, a soldier not far in front shouted loudly.

"Someone." The soldier saw a white shadow and disappeared into the woods in an instant.

"Bang." The soldier subconsciously opened fire, but the woods were too dense. The bullet was blocked by the trunk of the tree.

"What's the situation?" This time. The platoon commander in front shouted loudly at this time.

"Bang bang bang". And his subordinates were very conscious of shooting at this time. But the dense gunfire masked the killing on the other end.

"Poof. Burst. "Two more soldiers had their necks cut by the sword.

"Stop shooting." This time. The platoon leader shouted.

"Stop shooting. Stop shooting. The platoon commander ordered sternly. His men stopped firing at this point. The dense jungle made the platoon commander feel a little bad.

"Damn. Two more of our soldiers fell. "This time. A corporal said loudly. The corporal looked back at this time and saw that the two soldiers behind him were already lying on the ground. Blood was spurting all over the floor. It's all over the trees.

"Damn." The platoon commander glanced at this time and said.

"What should I do?" This time. The corporal on the side asked.

"I don't know. We need to get out of this area. We are in the light, they are in the dark. It's too bad for us. At this time, the platoon commander hesitated. Then wave their own people to retreat.

"Everybody be careful about their surroundings." This time. The platoon commander said.

"We immediately retreat." The platoon commander said. He believes that it is no longer possible to stay like this. If this continues, there will definitely be problems. The platoon commander thought.

"And what about them?" The corporal asked at this time.

"No way?" The platoon commander said.

"We had to carry them back. That's all there can be. If we stay, we'll all die. The platoon commander said.

"But, in that case, we'll be court-martialed." At this time, a private asked in fear.

"If we stay, we'll die even worse. Pack up, retreat, don't hesitate. "This time. The platoon commander said.

"Everyone be careful to prevent the other party from sneaking up on us." This time. The platoon commander said.

"Yes, sir." The soldiers covered each other, and they checked their surroundings. Then he retreated cautiously.

"Whoa-la-la-la-la Just after the retreat of the Qin army. A woman in white and a man in black jumped from a tree.

"These Qin dogs are finally gone." The woman in white said.

"Whew." And the man in black at this time. Exhale to show relaxation.

"Oh, brother. You're hurt. "This time. The woman in white said in surprise. The arm of the man in black was constantly dripping blood at this time.

"It's fine, just a little bit of skin. Didn't think of it. The man hadn't finished speaking. The woman in white "stabbed." "A bang. She ripped off a piece of white veil. Bandage the man's wounds. The man just shook his head. Then he bowed his head silently. But the man in black smiled happily. The smile is so subtle.

And in the East. The city of Linzi fell into despair, death, and fear.

"Burn. Burn them all for me. Fast. At this time, a small leader of the riot commanded his men to set fire to some of the houses in Linzi City that could be burned.

"Burn." From time to time, the head shouted loudly.

"Crackling." The wooden houses that had been burned by the fire crackled.

And more Qi people who rioted also participated. The fire not only burned the tall buildings in Linzi, but also set fire to the thatched houses of some people's houses. The fire instantly spread.

The thugs did all kinds of evil in Linzi City, and they robbed everything they could in just half a month. But there are some places that cannot be opened, and that is that the rich areas where ministers, nobles, and some merchants live cannot be approached. Because there was dense musket fire and artillery fire there, they could not get close. And then there's the royal palace. It was heavily guarded. And the thugs were too scattered. It was difficult for them to gather and attack at once. At the end of the day, they are still a rabble, and they are not trained in an orderly manner. It is difficult to become an elite division.

"Head, the fire is burning. What do we do next? At this time, a small leader with a white bandage on his head came over and asked with a flintlock pistol on his back.

There were blood stains under his white bandage, and the wound was not from the battle, but from being bitten by the woman while playing with her. A bite of his flesh was also bitten off. And that woman was naturally tortured to death by him. Such things happen every day in Linzi City. Nothing like this is new.

"Burn, we're going to burn the fire to the aristocratic district over there, and then, we'll take advantage of the chaos and kill it." Head said.

"Clever." The little boss said loudly at this time.

"Hmph." This time. The head said disdainfully.

"I don't believe it, those nobles are not afraid of fire." This time. Head said.

"Keep adding to the fire. Give me all the big houses of the aristocracy. Let them give me a little more heat. And then we're going to go in. What's inside, whatever you want, whatever you want. The head said.

The things in the residential areas of the city were snatched away by these thugs who could rob them. I played all that I could. Now they have finally shifted their sights to those noble regions. They believed that the most important places in Linzi City were the areas where the aristocracy and wealthy lived.

And in fact, it is true, the world will always live by the law of twenty-eight. Twenty percent of the people control 80 percent of the wealth of a country or region. And in the Linzi City of Qi State, the area where the rich live occupies 80% of the wealth in the entire Linzi City. As long as that area is captured, then the mob can enjoy endless riches.

"Oh no. Lord. Oh no. The mob began to set fire to the city. At this time, a private soldier broke in loudly and reported to a nobleman.

"Quick. Organize people quickly and put out fires. Don't let those fires burn here. Fast. The nobleman shouted loudly at this time. For a time, at the behest of the nobles. The privates were in a panic.

And in the palace of the king of Qi. After hearing that the mob set fire to the city. The king of Qi urged to send people. The army was to return immediately to quell the rebellion. Otherwise, the entire Qi country will not be protected.

"Quick, don't care if there are fewer people. The widow is dead. Send someone immediately. Send more people. Tell Tian Heng to bring all the soldiers to the meeting. Beat these thugs out of Linzi City. King Qi shouted in a panic. The smell of the fire outside the royal city wafted everywhere in the main hall, and King Qi smelled such a smell. I finally felt a hint of nervousness. He was so scared. I was scared and didn't know what to do.

Under the loud reprimand of King Qi. The Qi army had to send more men to inform Tian Heng's army to immediately return to the Qi state. Quelling the rebellion in Linzi. And the rest of the Qi country. At this time, he did not take the initiative to send troops. They just waited quietly.

In the north, the two armies of Qi and Zhao were engaged in intense negotiations.

"I really didn't expect that. The commander of the Qi State is so young. Li Mu said with a smile at this time. Then sit down unceremoniously.

And Tian Heng, as the highest military commander on the front line of the Qi army, looked at this legendary general. He heard a lot about Li Mu's deeds. Also know. The other party is a great warrior. Even Wang Jian of the Qin State was difficult to defeat his opponents. If it weren't for the huge combat power of the Qin State. It was only suppressed by the other party. However, little substantial progress has been made.

"General Li really lives up to his reputation." This time. Tian Heng stood and said.

"Yes. Thanks for the compliment. Sit. Li Mu had already sat down and said.

And Tian Heng sat down silently at this time.

"I'm here to clean up the mess." At this time, Li Mu said.

"Zhao Jun is no longer able to fight. We need to stop the war. At this time, Li Mu said very frankly. It's a standard military character. And not like politicians and diplomats who deliberately hide anything.

"So is our Qi country." Tian Heng said at this time.

"Linzi, our Qi country, is under siege by rebels, and we need to get out immediately. Then quickly move south to fight. "This time. Tian Heng said.

"But we don't want to be consumed like this. We need to get out as soon as possible. Tian Heng also said directly.

"That's why we can sit down and have a good talk." Li Mu said at this time.

"However, the conditions you have made are very unacceptable to us." Tian Heng deliberately joined "very" at this time. Two words.

"We just need a withdrawal fee. We also have casualties. There is also a lot of material loss. Fighting, it is inevitable, we have to retreat without any losses, so that we will also be more glorious. Li Mu said at this time.

"But we can't come up with the money." Tian Heng cried at this time. He hoped that this would be exchanged for Li Mu's sympathy. At the same time, it can also occupy some favorable positions at the negotiating table.

"You can borrow it." This time. Li Mu gave Tian Heng an idea.

And Tian Heng chuckled in his heart at this time. I didn't expect Li Mu to say the words directly. And Li Mu had thought about how to persuade the Qi people to retreat before he came.

"Yes. Now our country is also borrowing money. make our country's economy. Li Mu said at this time.

"This is normal. It is also very common. Our country, and the people of the Qin State borrowed money. Also borrowing money from Koreans. At the moment, it seems that only these two countries can borrow money. Li Mu said it himself at this time.

"It is difficult for the people of the Qin State to borrow, and their interest is high. And they can get their money back at any time. Although their interest is a single interest. And the amount of money is huge. But they use paper money, that kind of thing, I'm not very optimistic. At this time, Li Mu said.

And Tian Heng looked at Li Mu with strange eyes. And Li Mu didn't look at Tian Heng at all. I don't care if the other party listens or not, and I say it directly.

"Of course. You can't borrow money from the Qin State. "This time. Li Mu said.

"You have a grudge against Qin, you have a personal grudge, I can't control these things." Li Mu said directly.

"Of course. You can also not borrow money from the Qin people. Then the rest is left with the Koreans. At this time, Li Mu analyzed for Tian Heng.

And Tian Heng listened to his patience at this time.

"Hello Koreans. The money used by Koreans is gold coins, real gold. And it seems that they have recently used the silver. There is no way, we Zhao Guo need these things too much. "This time. Li Mu said frankly.

And Tian Heng had no interest in any of this.

"We don't plan to give you this money, we don't have the money, and we won't lend it to you." This time. Tian Heng directly pulled the topic back.

"Huh." And Li Mu smiled slightly.

"I don't know what General Lee is laughing at?" This time. Tian Heng said with a sigh of relief.

"But I can't do anything about that." Tian Heng said.

"Qi has no money for you. We're not going to give you that money." Tian Heng changed the conversation and said.

"Oh." Li Mu said.

"If you don't get rid of us, it will be difficult for you to fight south." At this time, Li Mu said.

"Moreover, we have a large army of cavalry stationed at the river's edge. You've got to get through there. "This time. Li Mu said.

"Smack." This time. Tian Heng stood up. Said as he patted the table.

"We can wipe out the five thousand of you." Tian Heng's face twitched and said.

"Really?" At this time, Li Mu asked rhetorically.

"You can spend a lot of money, or a long time, against our five thousand, but think about it. How many people you waste, how much time you waste. Especially time. If I were you, there wouldn't be enough time for you to wipe out the five thousand of us. Li Mu said at this time.

"I forgot to state one thing." This time. Li Mu said.

"We're stationed there with a cavalry unit, and they're an elite unit. They can fight to the death. "This time. Li Mu said.

"In addition, the people of the Qin State are also watching the development of the battle situation from the sidelines, and they don't want our two families to end the battle too quickly. Especially the longer the war drags on, the better. Our Zhao State is nothing? "This time. Li Mu said.

"Yes, you Qi country. The situation doesn't seem to be much better than our Zhao State. You have a rebellion in Linzi now. After your king is to be slain? Are you just going back? At this time, Li Mu asked.

"I don't think you will." Li Mu said at this time. And Tian Heng wanted to defend himself, but he was forced to hold back his words.

"Come to think of it. The people of Qin will help us, and I have already called General Wang Jian Wang of Qin State. Li Mu said.

"You say, how will he answer my request?" This time. Li Mu said.

"I asked them to send us air power to enter the war, and let them use airships to deliver weapons and ammunition. logistical supplies, as well as soldiers who can deliver to us. At the same time, a large number of weapons can be delivered to the front. We have soldiers. "This time. Li Mu said.

"As long as you are willing to fight, we can fight at any time. We don't care. It's nothing more than that something is wrong with our country. "This time. Li Mu said indifferently.

And Tian Heng's face twitched. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. After listening to Li Mu's words.

"We can not destroy you, but we can get rid of you." This time. Tian Heng retreated and said.

"Well, I don't think you can't." At this time, Li Mu shook his head and said.

"We want to retreat, but we don't get the money, we will bite you tightly, and you can't quit all at once. You know, as soon as you retreat, we will come forward and bite. Then you retreat, and there will be a great rout. "This time. Li Mu said.

"So, it's not rational to decide things like this." Li Mu looked at Tian Heng and said.

"Okay. We agree to pay the compensation. But only 80,000 gold can be given. That's all we can get together so far. "This time. Tian Heng said.

And Li Mu looked at Tian Heng and shook his head.

"No, just 200,000." Li Mu said.

"To be honest, we didn't want much. You know? At this time, Li Mu said.

"If it were the Qin people, they would want more." At this time, Li Mu said.

"All we want is the cost price, and, as I said, I've already said. You can borrow money from Koreans. They will be happy to give it to you. "This time. Li Mu said with a smile. It's obvious. Tian Heng had already lost all the momentum at this time, and he was passive. Completely passive.

"We've made the last effort. If it were a different person, it would be estimated that it would cost 500,000 gold, all of which are possible. "This time. Li Mu said.

"Okay." This time. Tian Heng reluctantly agreed.

"We give 200,000 gold. But you must retreat as soon as possible. At the same time, we need a sum of ammunition supplies, and you will provide it to us. "This time. Tian Heng said.

"Yes. We'll give you 20,000 rounds of ammunition. "This time. Li Mu said.

"Good. We will borrow money from the Koreans. Tian Heng said.

"This money is what we gave you." At this time, Tian Heng said.

"Yes. Of course. Li Mu said with a smile at this time.

In the last moments. Qi also wants to save the last face.
