"If you want to go to Jiaozhou, hurry up. Hurry up. Chen, who had only one eye, waved his arm and commanded. It was a small boat that could only hold a maximum of twenty people, but now, there were thirty-eight people on board, nearly twice as many people. Most of them were young adults, and there were several women with two children.

"Let me tell you, if you go to Jiaozhou, you will be able to enjoy happiness. All that is eaten is canned meat, absolutely canned. There is also work, ten and a half dollars a day, ten, enough for you to live well in Jiaozhou. A bag of noodles is only eight and a half taels, and you can earn half a month's worth of food in one day. If you work hard for a month, your money will be able to buy dozens of acres of good land in Qi Country. Blind Chen kept nagging.

Their location was on the eastern coast of the Qi Kingdom, and not far from them, there was a Korean merchant ship anchored there, and they were waiting for them to board the ship. This is the twelfth round trip of the blind man. In one day, there were almost twenty trips, and the Qi people who were transported to Jiaozhou for three consecutive days were transported like this.

Because of the land blockade, many Qi people are unable to return home, and they have to smuggle to their own countries to meet their relatives through smuggling channels. This is a kind of helplessness, but it also gives these smugglers a great opportunity to make a fortune. Because after they transported people and goods to Qi State, and then after some publicity, people in coastal areas also began to actively mobilize to Jiaozhou to go to sea to fish, but in that case, the risk is very high, and the benefits from fishing are far less good than going to Jiaozhou to work and make money. As hard as it sounds, working more than fourteen hours a day, they think it's satisfying because they have a payoff and don't have to take a lot of risks, which is for them. It's an attempt, or a way to make ends meet. The people of Qi need such a way to support themselves so much. Therefore, many people began to go to Jiaozhou.

"Captain, these people don't need money to take the boat, how can we make money? And also stayed here for three days. In three days, we had already arrived in Jiaozhou. Qingcheng, the opportunity to make money there is no better than here. The first mate said to his captain in confusion.

"Hehehe. I think you're thinking too simply. You know? The captain said.

"Now Qingcheng is very short of people, a laborer's salary is opened to 20 half a day, we transport these workers to the factory area, they take ten and a half taels or eight and a half taels, we can get half. And that's a lot of people, and if we transport 10,000 people, it's definitely a good job, and the point is that they're going to work for us for a year. In this way, we don't have to go to sea, we can make money, where do you find such a good thing? The captain said.

"Oh. I understand. The first mate said.

"Didn't you read the newspaper? The Qi people blocked the land route. A lot of people can't get over at all, they can't get over even if they think about it. The Qi Army is very powerful. But they don't have a navy, the coastline is very long, and there are a lot of Qi people, as long as they get to the beach, we can transport them to Qingcheng. Now that this is just the beginning, I think it won't be long before there will be a lot of people, and I'm afraid that more ships will be needed to complete such a large-scale delivery. The captain said disapprovingly.

"Hmm. Captain, I think we should be prepared early, the direction of the southward wind is expected to change for some time, and the northerly wind will stop. The south wind prevails, and we can do more business like this. But. It's hard to do business at sea. The first mate said.

"Hmm. So, I will have to change ships in the future. I heard that the navy guys were working on ships, and I saw their ships, which were too far from the ships of the Qin State. Experimental in nature, can only sail in shallow, still water areas, once the wind and waves are too strong. The ship was lifted up completely and could not sail. And it's expensive, and it's definitely not something we can use. One steam engine can buy two such sailboats. It's really a money-burning ship. After the captain finished speaking, he picked up his binoculars to check the transportation of small boats in the distance, they have several such small boats, and as the number of people increases, they will berth for more and more time, but there are still too few Korean ships like him who are involved in the smuggling of Qi countries, after all, some people do not know this route.

Qingcheng. Zhang Qing's office.

"It's a lot of trouble to solve. Xinzheng has been constantly communicating, listening to today's newspaper. The blockade of the Qi people also shot and killed people, so that the passage of the Qi people going south was completely sealed. Zhang Qing told an official. For this matter, he personally has a great headache, because the Qi people are obviously targeting them, but they are helpless, after all, they are blocking their own borders, and they have little to do with them.

"Are we not giving some benefits to the Qi government, they can do this, I heard that some shipyards and some chambers of commerce have begun to actively contact the people of Qi, and they are willing to pay a fee to open the channel." The official said.

"It's useless, the people of Qi are very ambitious, and what they need is something that we can't imagine. Qi people, this move is to put pressure on Xinzheng. If only money could solve the problem, that's great. It's a pity that such a thing could not be solved. Zhang Qing shook his head and said. It's not that he didn't think about such a thing, Zhang Qing also put forward the idea of investing in the construction of a shipyard, but the Qi government just didn't allow it, which made him very annoyed.

"Mayor." That's when it happened. Zhang Qing's secretary general came in anxiously, and he looked like he had something important to say.

"That's it first, I'll do it." The officer left as he spoke.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Qing lowered his head and asked.

"I got a message. It's from the seaside and related to the Qi people. The Secretary-General said.

"Finished." Zhang Qing said.

"Hmm. Here's the thing, through smuggling by sea, we can transport the Qi people to us, and some of the ships that transport the Qi people home brought a large number of Qi people when they came back, and they came by sea, and the Qi country did not have a navy. They can't block the long coastline, and we have a large number of ships, and there are so many of them in the shipyards, that they can rent them, moor them at sea in the name of the government, and then send out small boats, and I heard that the news has spread there. Many people began to go to the sea, where they could go to the sea to our Jiaozhou and Qingcheng, and such a thing has spread. And it's stress-free. The Secretary-General said.

"Oh." After hearing this, Zhang Qing raised his head and felt that this was a solution, but he felt that it was a bit too much. After all, they began to send merchant ships, which was an act of the government, which could affect the relationship between Qi and Jiaozhou.

"Mayor, now the railway needs a large number of railway workers, the number is very large, there is no way to build it without 100,000 people, and the construction period is very tight. But now that the personnel have not expired, if we just let the businessmen do this, speaking of which, this is smuggling, but in this way, it can effectively stimulate economic growth and meet our needs in terms of labor, which is very beneficial to us. If you don't, it's going to be very troublesome. The Secretary-General continued.

"Hmm." Zhang Qing nodded.

"If they could, some chambers of commerce would be willing to contribute such funds, and I think the railway companies would be willing to do the same, after all, now that the land route is blocked. It is not known when the lockdown will be. Although Xinzheng actively communicated and the Qin people kept sending telegrams, the attitude of the Qi people was too tough. We can't wait for a long time because of the Qi people, the Qi people can consume time, but we Qingcheng and Jiaozhou can't consume time, now what we lack is time, many people are busy in a hurry, but we can't follow the Qi people to consume. I think that's the purpose of the Qi people. Zhang Qing's secretary general said anxiously.

"Yes. You're right, we don't have to go any further. Dry, this thing, must be done, and it must be done, especially done. Give the order immediately. Organize ships, collect ships in the name of the government, we have to transport more than 100,000 people to Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou needs them. Zhang Qing gave the order. In order to make Jiaozhou Qingcheng develop faster, Jiaozhou Qingcheng needs more labor, but the Qi people have blocked the passage for labor to go south. It's a constraint, or it's a drain on time. The people of Qi can consume it, but Jiaozhou and Qingcheng can't consume it. They change every day, and that's the benefit of being developed. They need more resources. And more resources will continue to arrive here because of the value factor.

"Okay, Mayor, I'll go." The Secretary-General said excitedly.

"Wait." Zhang Qing stopped the secretary general.

"What else? Mayor. "The secretary general is worried that the mayor will stop such a thing, after all, such a thing is not good for the country, if such a thing happens. The Secretary-General is also very helpless.

"Get some leaflets, but the newspaper gets more leaflets, don't make words, you have to get posters, print a few more, so that those Qi people can know at a glance that the benefits of coming to Jiaozhou, Qi people don't know words, and the influence of knowing words is also great, but we want all Qi people to see it, let them come here, with such posters, I don't believe it, more Qi people don't come here." The Secretary-General said.

"Hmm. I know. The Secretary-General nodded in agreement. Then he quickly left the place. Zhang Qing nodded. A lot of things, you have to do it. South Korea needs to put pressure on the Qi people to let them know. The benefits of lifting the lockdown order for them.

Ministry of Defense of the State of Qin.

"It's not something we can do." Wei Yi received a telegram from Li Xin. The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Defense of Dawan jointly sent a telegram saying that they wanted to borrow money to buy a large amount of military weapons, even though they occupied a large amount of mineral resources. However, they don't have money because mineral resources need to be excavated and transported out to be turned into money, however, they don't have money because the roads are broken. They have no source of funding. But they have minerals, as well as all sorts of ores that have been excavated, which are piled up like mountains. But they just don't have the money.

"The Ministry of Finance wants to borrow money, but we are the government, the government of Qin, and the government of Qin can lend them money, but this is business, we don't want to do such a business, take such risks, I think it is better to leave it to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take care of this matter. It will be handed over to the Prime Minister's Office as soon as possible, and when the financial problem is solved, I think they will get the military weapons they want, but if they can't solve such a thing. We can't help them. Wei Yu shook his head and said to his assistant.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Hmm. Documents of the Ministry of Defense. Shang Wen said.

"Yes, but they think that this matter is something that our Prime Minister's Mansion should do, after all, we have a lot of this. The Dawan people need money to buy a large amount of arms, and only the arms trade involves the Ministry of Defense, but the problem is that we have to solve the financial problem of Dawan first, and they don't have enough funds to solve their money problems. Meng Yi said.

"They have mountains of ore, iron ore, coal, gold, copper. And all kinds of chromium nickel that we need. Oh, my God. Really nice place. Shang Wen said.

"Yes. But the Dawan people also need our things, such as arms. Meng Yi said.

"Hmm. In that case, I think this matter should be handled by the bank, and the bank can do better. It's a lot better for the bank to deal with this than if we were to come forward and solve it. Shang Wen said after looking at it.

"Banks to do it?" Meng Yi asked Shang Wen.

"Yes, the banks are better at doing this than we do, they now have the right to issue metal money, and they also have the right to issue a certain amount of paper money. Banks specialize in financial matters, and they need to be more flexible than we are in this regard. This should be done by the banks, not us. We're just the government, providing strong protections to let the banks in. If you want the Dawan people to take out a loan, you need to make them abide by our rules, and the government guarantees this, not every business, and the business can be left to the businessman. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. All right. Meng Yi nodded. Then Meng Yi forwarded the matter to the major banks, believing that they should do it.

Qin State, a gear production and processing factory, there is a new group of special workers, they are from the Zhao State Processing Factory, they came here to visit and learn in the name of factory apprentices, they are very studious, a lot of things, they have to make a clear dish.

"What are you going to do with such big gears?" An apprentice from Zhao asked curiously. Unlike others, other apprentices would hold notebooks, pens and keep notes, and some would draw all kinds of mechanical drawings. These are the things they learned here. The technology of the Qin State had a great influence on them. Many people think that they come here to learn technology to win glory for their country.

"Steam turbines." A middle-aged worker said. He seems to be very steady, wearing a work uniform that looks very fast. His white gloves were spotless. It doesn't look like a worker.

"Steam turbines? What is that? Is it the same as a steam engine? The apprentice asked curiously.

"Hehe, it's different, the steam engine is a piston. The steam turbine, on the other hand, pushes the turbine to work. This requires a great level of processing. The middle-aged worker said with a smile.

"This thing, no, it should be called a steam turbine, I've never seen it before." Zhao Guo's apprentice asked.

"Of course. This thing is used to generate electricity, such a large generator, we will use the power plant in the north, the current electricity consumption is very large, but the use of small steam turbines, very fuel-intensive, and the amount of electricity generated is not enough, we urgently need a gas turbine that can generate more electricity. This stuff is processed here by us. The middle-aged worker said.

"Hmm. Turbine technology, steam turbines. Zhao Guo's apprentice muttered.

"We Zhao Guo don't have these technologies, and we Zhao Guo can't make a steam engine by ourselves. We don't have piston technology. However, I believe that we Zhao Guo will have such technology ourselves. Zhao Guo's apprentice said firmly.

"Huh. Little ones, I'm sure you'll solve this problem, but for now, you have to study hard and acquire more technical knowledge, and if you don't let it, it will only be empty words. The middle-aged worker said with a smile.

This factory is processing a gear, a gear that allows gas turbines to be well combined, they need to make larger gas turbines, as the demand for electricity increases, traditional small thermal power plants have become more and more difficult to meet the demand for electricity, and the Qin State needs to further develop and use larger gas turbines to carry out the work. Generate electricity. To make larger turbines, the first thing to do was to solve the problem of materials, and the Qin State used a thinner aluminum alloy as a material. And countries don't even know what aluminum alloy is, and for them, being able to use iron and steel well is already a very powerful technology. The Qin State has far surpassed its opponents in this regard, but these are not enough, the gas turbine technology of the Qin State is still not mature enough, they only have some simple gas turbines used in small power plants, and the power of gas turbines can only be compared with medium-sized steam engines. But they're a lot bigger. In order to be able to further improve the technology, the Qin side needs to invest more financial support, but now is not the time. Because this demand is still not strong enough, unless there is a strong stimulus they can further use steam turbines and new technologies in production and life. What Qin had to do was to make these technologies widely available.
