2239 is worth the money
"The widow did not understand why he had to occupy such a useless piece of land. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info that our Qin State can completely solve this problem without spending money. King Qin asked Shang Wen puzzled.
Of course, Shang Wen can't say. Afghanistan occupied by the Yueshi is the graveyard of empires. Many of the hegemonic powers for a period of time tried to control it, the British Empire, Tsarist Russia, and later the United States, all tried to control it, but most of them failed. And the money spent has led to a series of economic crises. Some countries disintegrated for this, and although Shang Wen was not quite sure why such a place was called so, he believed that the Qin state should not use force in this place, but that it was the best way to solve it in a peaceful way.
"Hmm. Here's the thing. Shang Wen thought for a moment and said.
"If the two large-scale wars that break out in the future are in the Western Regions, then they must be between Dawan and Yueshi. Or the resting country after the Great Wan Kingdom. Shang Wen put forward these two hypotheses.
"Hmm." King Qin nodded. Meng Yi listened patiently. There were other ministers who were also listening, including Feng Quji, who was a core member of King Qin's cabinet.
"Such an assumption is absolutely valid." Shang Wen said at this time.
"However, there is one thing that we should pay attention to, and that is that the Qin State must face two large-scale battles. But after exceeding, the Qin State had to be cautious. Therefore, I decided to adopt a gentle way between the Yueshi and the Peacock Dynasty, that is, to buy the land of the Yueshi people by means of purchase, so that the Yueshi people have funds, they can use troops on a large scale, they have money to buy equipment, buy weapons and ammunition, buy all kinds of logistics materials, and then rob the population and resources. A steady stream of progress. Reach the Mauryan Empire further south. Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. Here's a way. King Qin nodded in agreement.
At the same time, it can also stimulate the military production and the production of various materials in the Qin State. Yes, a good way to do it. King Qin said.
"But why do we have to buy that useless piece of land, we can get it without spending any money." Meng Yi said.
"This is useless land, but it has extremely high strategic value." Shang Wen said.
"The place occupied by the Yueshi people is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to use troops, if the Yue people desperately resist to the end, the Qin army will spend a million troops, and I am afraid that there will be nothing they can do. Shang Wen said solemnly.
"And this place, if you go north, you can attack the rear of the Dawan Kingdom, and at the same time, you can attack the Sabbath Kingdom, and if you go south, you can attack the Mauryan Dynasty. And it's an important passage to open up there. You say, such a place, important or not. If the army is spent on fighting, the entire treasury of the Qin state is likely to be depleted, and at the same time, taxes will have to be increased. Cause a greater upheaval of the social order. Spend a sum of money like that. Personally, I think it's very, very cost-effective. Shang Wen emphasized.
"Hmm. The widow remembered. The place occupied by the Yueshi people was mountainous, and there were many disadvantages in warfare, even if the Qin State relied on railways to maintain logistical supplies. But where are those railways being built? King Qin asked.
"No matter where it is built, the railway is likely to be attacked by the Yueshi people, and the Qin State should avoid such a situation as much as possible. Moreover, it is extremely difficult to survive in such a place, which is a place where the Qin State and the Yue people do not want to survive. The state of Qin spent money on such a place, in fact, it was just buying an important ticket that could open up in all directions. Shang Wen emphasized.
"Hmm. Widows look at it, such a place, it is good to spend money to buy, and this money, in the end, is still in our pockets, not only these, the Yueshi people think that they can have a good choice of places and superior weapons, but what they didn't expect is that they are all in our calculations. King Qin said with a smile.
"It's worth the money. Worth. King Qin said with a smile.
Outside Xianyang Palace.
"How do you and I explain this money if it is spent?" Meng Yi asked Shang Wen.
"You have to figure it out." Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi and said.
"I want to find a way, I can't say, our Qin State spent money to buy a piece of land that doesn't grow grass. In that case, you won't be able to be the prime minister. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"Moreover, this is the special time of the general election, and if it gets out, your votes. All at once it went down. At that time, it was too late for us to cry. Meng Yi said with an extremely distorted expression. He especially hoped that Shang Wen would stay in the position of prime minister, and the longer he stayed, the better, because in the current situation, only Shang Wen could handle all kinds of things.
"I think, in this way, we will assist those Yueshi people in the form of assistance, so as to obtain greater profits. What do you think? Shang Wen said. Everything Qin did must be explained to the media very much, otherwise once the media investigates it, the officials will not be able to deal with it at all. Meng Yi was also afraid of such a thing, so Meng Yi needed Shang Wen to give a reason.
Xianyang, Qin State.
"What kind of goods are these? How does it stink? "A customs officer from the State of Qin arrived after checking the carriage. These carriages were all going abroad, and in order to prevent the outflow of technology and other important materials, the Qin State adopted extremely strict inspections, and each carriage had to go through strict inspections before it could be released.
"He, they're not goods." A captain of Zhao Jun explained on the side.
"What's that?" The customs officer asked.
"Yes. It is a mountain Qiang people. Captain Zhao Jun explained.
"Mountain Qiang? What do you want the mountain Qiang people to do? The customs officer asked.
"This. Slaves of the state. Our military also needs something like this. The captain explained.
"Hmm. We need to check them, and they probably have a lot of disease, and I think you should clean them. The customs officer said.
"This." The captain officer was a little embarrassed.
"You guys check, we only need a day and a half, a day and a half, and we can get to Handan. We slaves need it urgently. The captain officer said.
"Hurry, but also can't do it, these slaves are the most susceptible to disease. We must be responsible. The customs officer asked.
"Damn." The captain officer was somewhat annoyed. He received the task of transporting these mountain Qiang people to Handan, so that they could be trained in Zhao to become another kind of army of the Zhao army, his task was very urgent, he had already consumed a large part of his time, but he did not expect that he would have to delay here for a longer time.
