"First of all, you mentioned the Qilian Mountains and the Hexi Corridor. The problem is the biggest here. Wang Jian first took out a simple map and pointed out.

"What's the problem?" Shang Wen and Wei Yu sat down and asked together.

"The Hexi Corridor is very small. The high mountains on both sides are easily defended by the enemy, and we have already occupied one side of the Hexi Corridor. But on the other side. We still don't occupy it. Our armies are on the west. If the Qiang people on the other side of the Qilian Mountains suddenly send troops to occupy the Hexi Corridor. Our army was choked by the neck. Reinforcements, provisions, nothing can be supplied. Wang Jian said.

"It's a big problem. General Wang. I've heard that the security company and the trading company are making a lot of trouble over there, so there should be no problem, right? Wei Yu asked.

"It's because it's so fierce that I said that there is a problem here, and our people, especially those security companies, are very interested in arresting people, and they attack the Qiang people on the high ground in groups, and those Qiang people are beaten and run away. Our men were caught and came back. Then the Qiang returned. We grabbed and so on. This place has never been ours. Wang Jian said.

Shang Wen looked at the map carefully. In his memory. It seems to have passed the Qilian Mountains. There are plateaus, and the air on the plateau is relatively thin, lacking oxygen, and the living environment is harsh. It is difficult for immigrants to choose such a place to go. It can be said that the birds in this place do not poop when they go.

But then again. Wang Jian pointed out a serious problem. Historically, the most critical point for several powerful dynasties to control the Western Regions was to be able to control the Hexi Corridor. However, with their decline, the surrounding nomadic tribes only need to take the narrow Hexi Corridor, and the entire Western Regions will become an island. Moreover, the special terrain of the Hexi Corridor is very unfavorable for defense. But this long and narrow Hexi corridor was very important to the Qin army, especially the Qin state.

Wang Jian suddenly discovered this major problem when considering the withdrawal of troops. The special terrain of the Hexi Corridor was not conducive to defense, but it was conducive to the offensive of the Qiang people. Wang Jian is not the kind of person who sits back and waits for others to attack. Qin Jun has always taken the initiative to attack others, rather than waiting for others to attack him.

The three of them suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. The long and narrow Hexi Corridor was the throat of the Qin State to control the Western Regions, and although there was no problem now, it did not mean that there was no problem. The Qiang people became potential opponents of the Qin State. That's the benefit of having a staff office, where soldiers tend to see their neighbors from the perspective of an enemy. They don't care if you're friendly or not. Control your throat and hit you hard so they can be completely reassured.

"General Wang is right, those security guards and trading companies have gone too far." Shang Wen said. Since only slaves were valuable, they frantically grabbed slaves, and for the land, the Qin army had not yet digested such a large piece of land. Instead, the land became a burden. As a result, they repeatedly attacked the Qiang tribe on the edge of the Qilian Mountains or in a deeper position. In order to catch slaves, he has no interest in the land.

"But on the other hand, we're not doing the right thing. We only take into account the importance of slaves and ignore the vast land. The population is just the plants on it, and as long as they have seeds and land, they will still reproduce. If we want to be safe, we must occupy the land on which they depend. Shang Wen said.

"Sending troops?" Wei Yi asked directly.

Shang Wen shook his head.

"No, we don't have to send troops. I think we have a better way. Shang Wen said.

"What's the solution?" Wang Qian, Wei Yu asked.

"Buy land. Sell land. Shang Wen said.

"Buy land, sell land." Wang Qian, Wei Yu said unexpectedly.

"Yes, we paid to buy the land from the security guards and trading companies. In their eyes, land is superfluous, but for us, land is a necessity. Land is also a wealth. Shang Wen said.

"After we buy the land, we sell it. Sell one of those immigration states. In this way, we can both earn the difference and get a huge amount of land. In this way, we don't have to send troops on a large scale, and we can get land continuously. Our army just needs to keep moving forward and garrisoning. Shang Wen said.

"Wonderful, wonderful. Wonderful. Wei Yi said excitedly. In fact, what Shang Wen wanted was an upgraded version of Shang Wen's original land policy. The state of Qin sent its own army to conquer a large piece of land. Ownership is the state. Immigration, spending money to buy land, in fact, is the state privatization of state-owned land, in this way. The state is able to both increase the population and control a large piece of land. The Qin army was driving out the original inhabitants and establishing their own settlements on the new land. It's a great deal. Compared with several dynasties, they did very poorly on the issue of land control, and they did not allow the people to play freely. And the government does not have the ability to digest the land in a timely manner. As a result, the land became someone else's wedding dress.

Drove away a resident and went on his own. The vacant land soon attracted another resident. In this way, there will be endless wars with neighbors. Not to mention that you can't get development, you have to face the threat of being swallowed by the other party all the time. It's not a good deal. And now Shangwen has learned from the land policy of the United States and easily resolved this problem.

And the price paid by Shangwen can be said to be a business without capital. The state of Qin was developing very fast, and he needed a huge amount of currency to support it, especially with increasing trade. The demand for money is very large. But gold is very limited. Banknotes can be printed indefinitely, and no one knows how many more banknotes you print. Shang Wen only needs to order a little more banknotes to be printed, and he can buy them from the security trading company. This price must be low. In fact, it's very cheap. One acre of land is only ten. Land can be expensive there. After the acquisition of these lands. Then sell it. Only the land that can be cultivated and grazing is sold. A large amount of other land was left to the government. It's a bargain. The Qin State acquired such a large land without moving a single soldier. It will be the best deal in the world. Shang Wen made a lot of money for the Qin State.

Wei Yi reacted quickly. He soon saw that the biggest beneficiary of this was the Qin State itself. Such a sale. It's a great deal.

Wang Jian still doesn't understand. Wei Yi explained to Wang Qian. Wang Jian gave a thumbs up all of a sudden. Shang Wen's ideas are comparable to the 200,000 Qin army. Shang Wen smiled slightly. I just did something that was good for several parties.
