"You two, please be seated." Li Mu raised his hand to signal.

"Thank you." Shang Wen Shi Li. Han Shu also sat down with him. The difference is. The two sat down next to each other.

"The general is a military man. I'm a civil servant. Then, I will follow the way of thinking of a soldier and explain the meaning of Qin State without any attempt. Shang Wen went straight to the point. This kind of negotiation is also very in line with Li Mu's character. Instead of going around and around, let's get straight to the point.

At this time. There were only three people in the house. A dry and miscellaneous person has long since quit. It was, so to speak, a closed-door meeting.

"The main purpose of the Qin state was trade. The premise of trade was an armistice with Yan. And the ministers agreed to keep the peace. Send envoys to recognize the status of Queen of Korea. Shang Wen said slowly. Now that we have talked about the current situation of South Korea. The Qin state had to earn some benefits for its allies.

"If it could, other terms other than the four could be agreed. My proposal is that, given the large number of prisoners produced in the war. We should provide humanitarian protection to these captives. For example, you can't kill at will. abuse, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to provide a certain degree of protection for the personal safety and property of civilians on both sides of the war. Shang Wen said slowly.

"How are these guaranteed." Li Mu is a soldier, so he is naturally more concerned about these.

"It is based on a legal document signed by the four countries. If a country does not comply, it will take severe economic sanctions or military strikes. Shang Wen said.

"Well, what did the Qin State do on the battlefield of Changping. Who will bear it? Li Mu held on. Use historical issues to make Shangwen regress.

"We'll take care of it. Although this is a matter of history. Maybe it's something that the first king of Qin doesn't want to see. However, we will shoulder our historical responsibility. I will publicly apologize to you on behalf of the State of Qin. At the same time, historic reparations were given. Shang Wen said.

Li Mu looked at Shang Wen in surprise. He didn't think about it on the issue of history. The prime minister would have made such a request directly. Is it just a responsibility? Li Mu still couldn't believe it. But everything that the prime minister reported in the newspapers before. Let him believe. Something like that. This prime minister can definitely do it.

"For specific compensation, we will compensate in the form of a certain amount of money or in kind. If needed. We can solve the employment and education problems of the orphaned widows in Zhao State. Please trust the general in our sincerity. Shang Wen said slowly.

"Even if the prime minister apologizes, what can he do with compensation. After all, it has happened. Li Mu obviously still holds on to the past.

"Although history has turned that page, we have not turned the page today. We know what happened in the past, so we are responsible for what happened in the past. As the prime minister of the Qin State, I am willing to assume such a responsibility, and we are willing to rewrite the history that follows. It is hoped that the two countries will be able to resolve their previous hatred because of our sincerity. Shang Wen said sincerely.

Li Mu waved his hand and did not mention this matter.

"Since the representative of Yan Guo has not yet arrived." It would take a long time for the Yan State to request this matter, because they would bypass the Zhao State and enter Xianyang from the northern part of the Qin State. Then came to Xinzheng from Xianyang. It's very troublesome. It's also very time-consuming.

"So, on the specific negotiation matters. We can only talk about the two countries reaching a settlement agreement as soon as possible. Let peace return to the state of Zhao. Shang Wen said.

"As for Zhao Guo and South Korea. I hope that the two countries will establish friendly relations as soon as possible. After all, the two countries are close neighbors. After the trade. There are still a lot of trade things to communicate between the two countries. Shang Wen said kindly.

Li Mu nodded. Because these things are civil affairs. Too much of his role as military attache was involved in armistice. Moreover, there is too much reference to business activities. This was not possible before. This is far beyond the scope of Li Mu's current cognition.

"As for the Zhao and Qin sides. In addition to trade, the Qin State hoped that the Zhao State would adopt a low tax rate for the trade between the two countries. Don't levy high taxes. At the same time, the tax checkpoint is reduced, and finally the overall control is between several points. The Qin side as compensation. At the same time, it is also a matter of the history of reparation It will promise to train some international students from Zhao State. Shang Wen said.

"International students?" Li Mu asked suspiciously. The prime minister of the Qin State in front of him frequently used some words that he had never heard of. If it weren't for the words, it would be easy to understand. Li Mu had already interrupted Shang Wen frequently to explain.

"Yes. It's about education. The Qin State will train a group of talents to Zhao State for free. as compensation for the Battle of Changping. Of course, we will pay the compensation. Shang Wen said.

"I don't know what aspects are involved in the prime minister's education." Li Mu was more interested in this issue.

"There's a lot involved in this. The state of Qin currently has many branches. For example, there are buildings. It is mainly responsible for the design of bridges, water conservancy and other projects. And machinery. Mainly in terms of processing. If the general lacks officers. We also have military schools. A large number of officers, non-commissioned officers will be trained there. Shang Wen said.

"Does this Qin State really help Zhao Guo cultivate?" Li Mu asked with some uncertainty.

"Of course." Shang Wen said with certainty.

"On the Zhao side, after the trade, there can be a lot of contacts with the Qin State. Like what. Just mentioned that the Zhao army can participate in Qin's foreign military operations. This. The state of Qin was very welcoming. The spoils of war belong to you. Of course, if you are willing to sell to us. We are also happy to acquire. Those minorities have a large number of horses, cattle and sheep and so on. But only if you pay us some money. We'll be able to provide you with logistical supplies nearby. Equally. If the Republic of Korea is willing to participate, we welcome it. At the same time, there is a large number of commercial finished products exchanged between the two countries. The Qin State had a lot of manufactured goods. For example, glass. mirrors and so on. Shang Wen introduced.

"I don't know what the finished products of Zhao Guo are, but if you think you can, you can send a large number of female workers, and our textile factories need a lot of manpower. There are no technical limitations there. Or some engineering team. The state of Qin was being built everywhere. Especially those newly established states, small towns. They need a well-developed road network. Of course, the Qin Council paid you. Shang Wen said.

Li Mu rarely took the initiative to speak in such talks. Because, the Qin State occupies the initiative in negotiations. Although Qin Guo showed all his hole cards. But Zhao Guo is still passive.

Li Mu did not immediately agree to Shang Wen's request on the grounds that he needed to consult King Zhao. Shang Wen also did not hope to gain Li Mu's support. The parties simply state their respective demands before the meeting. There is only one in the Zhao State, but there are many in the Qin State. The state of Qin will be the protagonist on the "international" stage.
