"It's true, we don't have that many people, and there are many people who can become governors, let." Lu Juan said with some reluctance. To be honest, Lu Juan really wanted his eldest brother to do this, but if he did this, it would be difficult to do such a thing.

"I said, we don't necessarily use our own people, in this case, how many Chu people do we have to use." Cao Shen, who was at the end, spoke at this time. He was originally in the Qin State, he followed Xiao He to do banking things, and he was pulled away by Lu Juan and others.

"Oh. So, what do we do? Lu Qian asked.

"Locals fight locals. I think the Koreans have always done this, we can do this, we don't necessarily have to be Chu people, the locals can also do it, I read in the newspaper, the Koreans have expanded a lot of Tu Corps, we can also use Tu Corps, although they have fought a little bit, may not be as good as our people, but they are also people, there are more people. Wouldn't it be better to fight? Cao Shen said at this time.

"That's right." Liu Ji patted his thigh at this time and said.

"Don't say it, your brain is just not ordinary to follow Mr. Xiao, we didn't see it." Liu Ji said.

"But it takes weapons, and you have to control them. This, how to control it. Lu Juan is still very worried.

"This. You're such a big man. Give you 10,000 native soldiers, can't you control it? Liu Ji said indifferently.

"If I become a governor, you can become a general. Give you a general. Liu Ji said indifferently.

"Yes, yes." Fan said with a smile. He felt that he could be a general.

"I see, all of our ships are generals and officers. Fight, it's okay. Liu Ji said with a smile.

"Then we'll thank the Governor." Lu Juan and others thanked happily. Only then did Liu Ji feel that he had something different.

Coastal areas of the Seth country. Guo Xiang and others are actively recruiting locals, they have gathered some food, but the number is not very large, but more and more Saisi people have arrived here, and they have established defensive positions here. They kept organizing men to dig trenches and build fortifications that they could resist.

"The biggest problem is still weapons, they only have cold weapons, there are no hot weapons at all, we contacted those people, they felt very panicked, for the weapons in our hands, they think this is a god-like weapon, if it weren't for this, I don't think they would listen to us." One of the guards who stayed behind said. His current military rank is Captain. Three hours ago, he had only been a sergeant. But more and more Seth people arrived, and when they heard that these people from the sea had a special weapon, they felt that such a person could guarantee their safety.

"We can only simply defend, build more fortifications, build trenches, the opponent's cavalry will not be able to pass, we can hide in the trenches to avoid the attack of artillery, muskets, we can only let them rush over, if we don't let us go, we can't do anything ourselves.

"Strengthen the defenses, use the methods of defending against cavalry, infantry, and artillery, and collect as much food as possible." Guo Xiang said helplessly. As more and more Seth people fled here, they organized a large number of people, from two hundred people at the beginning, to nearly three thousand people now, Guo Xiang has a relatively strong force in his hands, but Guo Xiang knows their ability very well, they are a group of rabble, whether they can resist the first wave of attack of the rest people, Guo Xiang is very worried.

"Yes, sir. However, we got a message from academics. Something may be inaccurate. The captain said.

"Tell me about it." Guo Xiang now puts everything that can know the news of Seth Country in the first place, because this country has too many differences for him.

"According to scholars, mainly through the Sethites who had fled, there was a city to the north of us, near the coast, called Basra, or Bara, or Bara, and that was a very important artery, and the Sabbatarians had to get there, so the Sabbaths would gather a large number of heavy troops to attack there. It may have a big impact on us. "The captain doesn't have a comprehensive grasp of this kind of information because of the language translation and various circumstances, and it is unlikely that he can even remember the name clearly.

"Oh." Hearing such news, Guo Xiang felt very troubled. First of all, he couldn't even figure out his name now, how did they know the next move of the Sabbatarians, and the actions of the Sabbatarians would have great consequences for them, and what would be the consequences? Guo Xiang himself doesn't know.

"Alright. I'm going to send someone to scout and hopefully we'll be able to improve a lot. I just don't know where our people have gone. Guo Xiang shook his head and said.

In the western region of the Qin Kingdom, on the road to the Great Wan Kingdom, a railway is under rapid construction, and it is not far from the railway station. Constantly unloading a large amount of supplies, mainly railroad tracks, wooden sleepers, and many more slaves. They were all Indian prisoners of war purchased from the Yueshi people. They have striped clothes all over their bodies, striped clothes that can be easily captured, and wooden shoes on their feet. A shoe that was simply put on with a rope, and that was all the possessions of the Indy POWs.

They were wooden, panicked, and overwhelmed to get off the train. Those are all Huns, such foul words, the Qin people are unwilling to do it.

"Hurry up and get down. Roll down. Hurry up. "The Huns were beaten violently, armed to the teeth, with fast guns on their backs and two revolvers at their waists. In his hand is either a large wooden club or a whip. Those Indian prisoners of war quickly learned how not to be beaten with whips, sticks.

"Those are the Indic POWs?" The finance minister of Dawan Kingdom asked after watching a group of striped people come down in the distance.

"Yes, those are from Indy, the Yueshi have won a great victory in the war, they have got quite a lot of prisoners of war, these prisoners of war are very cheap, and we need them, the more the better, we can build such a railway as quickly as possible." Fan Dou said very easily.

"Hmm. If so, it is better that we need a lot of such prisoners of war. The more the merrier. The Minister of Finance said. He knew that only when Dawan transported more mineral resources could they solve more financial problems, and the people of the Qin State needed these things, and the only thing that could solve the transportation task was the railway.

"However, I think that the road can still meet our needs at the moment, you know, we have a lot of horse-drawn carriages that have completed such transportation tasks, and we can still do this when the current railway is not available." Fan Dou suggested.

"But it takes more money, and we already have a lot of people in Dawan who are engaged in mineral development problems." said the Minister of Finance.

"This, you can continue to issue bonds, borrow, we can lend to you, your economic development is also very beneficial to us, our bank's money, is the faster it turns, the better." Fan Dou introduced.

"This, we still have a lot of needs, and the people of Anxi have always taken measures to suppress us, so the proposal of the Ministry of Defense of Dawan is to establish our self-defense army, and with the self-defense army, I think we can protect ourselves. I think you Qin people also know this. The Minister of Finance said.

"It's a matter of military spending. I am personally worried about military spending, and I think, Mr. Minister, also know that military spending is a simple consumption, not an increase in profits, and if your military can have military operations, we can provide more loans, but pure consumption may bring great trouble. Fan Dou said.

"Oh. This one. We've thought about that as well. The Minister of Finance said.

"But I think I can help you if I have to." Fan Dou continued. In his opinion, only the Dawan people can borrow more money to be very beneficial to them, and if they don't borrow, there will be no such big profit margins.

Fan Dou hopes that the Dawan government can borrow more money, because the more debts, the greater the cost of repayment for the Dawan government. Many banks have realized this, and the economic development of the Western Regions is likely to be very fast.

The slaves went forward one by one, and they were going to the mountains, and they had never seen anything along the way, they had never arrived here by train, and everything here was too unfamiliar to them. They didn't know what this place was, because of the strangeness, they were even more frightened, but the Huns would make them even more frightened. This was the result that the people of the Qin State wanted to see, because in their opinion, if these people were not afraid, they would not have come here.

Yan Kingdom, Prince's Mansion.

"What?" Prince Dan asked the Minister of Finance in surprise.

"The Indian slaves who came from the Yue clan have been bought out by the Qin Western Regions Railway Company. They were going to build a long railway, which needed a lot of manpower, and they took out more than 300,000 slaves at once, and it is expected that there will be more in the future. The Minister of Finance said. After hearing that the Yue Kingdom had received a large number of prisoners of war, Prince Dan decided to buy these laborers, but unfortunately, he did it too late.

"This. Our gold mines need manpower, and the construction of railways also needs manpower, and the people of Qin are very concerned about the relationship between manpower. "Prince Dan is embarrassed, in contrast, using the Yan people, Prince Dan is more willing to let his people use those prisoners of war, because the price of those prisoners of war is very low, and the use of Yan people is to let his national strength decline, which is a very uneconomical thing.

"Prince, the only way at the moment is to bring in labor from South Korea, they can get more labor from the sea." The Minister of Finance advised. The only solution at the moment is to do this.

"I think that's the only way to do it. After all, without such a large number of laborers, no problem can be solved. Let's see how the Koreans solve such a problem. Prince Dan said helplessly. The Korean slaves need to wait, which makes Prince Dan very anxious, and the last thing he wants to do is wait.

Qi country. Laizhou. Inside Lou Jing's temporary office.

"Mr. Lou, you are also a person close to the general, you should know our difficulties." A retired major general found Lou Jing and said.

"We shipyards need a lot of funds, the amount of funds is quite amazing, if there is no sufficient funds, we may have such a successful construction, this shipbuilding, need a lot of materials, Zhao Guo's iron beams, Koreans' iron nails, Qin, Yan people's timber, and Qingcheng technicians, in addition to a lot of transportation costs, this shipbuilding is not a one-time get-out, our funds, all into it, is still not enough, we need some funds. Fund. I'm dying of worries about funding now. The retired major general said excitedly to Lou Jing. Lou Jing is the main official in charge of this matter.

"It's another funding problem." Lou Jing put down the pen in his hand at this time and said.

"Yes, it's a financial problem again, but there is really no way to do it. You know, I found all the places I could find money. We also have a bank in Qi country, but the bank doesn't do anything at all. They think that my shipyard is not strong, they only lend it to those larger shipyards, they don't lend it to me at all, and they say, "Shipyards like ours will soon go out of business, isn't this embarrassing?" The other party said dissatisfied.

"Hmm. It seems that our bank is not doing well enough. Lou Jing motioned for the other party to sit down and explain in detail.

The purpose of the funds required for shipbuilding is very large, which can not be completed at once, and it takes some waiting time after the ship, so the backlog of funds is very large, and the reason why the shipyards in South Korea can turn around all at once is that in addition to the support of the Bank of Korea, there is also the support of their stock market, so that the shipyards in South Korea can solve the problem of funds. However, Qi State cannot solve this problem, because Qi State's banking industry is not developed, although Qi State has its own bank, but their banking business is not going well. Compared with other countries, their interest rates are very high, usually about ten times higher, enterprises simply cannot afford to borrow such funds, even if they borrow, there is a need to make a large mortgage, this backward way leads to the development of shipyards is relatively slow, if it is not for the Koreans to invest, they may directly cause economic losses.

Lou Jing patiently listened to the retired major general's views, and his views were two points, the interest rate of the bank was too high, and the process was very inconvenient, which was a disaster for them, and they were unwilling to borrow the bank's funds unless the bank's funds were solved, and on the other hand. They need some financial solutions to their financial problems. At this time, Lou Jing also had to consider the financial problems of Qi State Shipyard. If the financial problem is not solved, the shipbuilding industry of Qi will still not be able to develop. It can be said that the investment fever brought by the shipyard has caused a great stagnation due to the difficult development of Qi Guoban itself, and Lou Jing is sensitive to this problem, and he needs to solve this problem properly. The problem is huge.

Sinjeong, South Korea.

"Oh, fortunately, fortunately, I didn't sell it, he finally got some of it, if I couldn't hold my breath at the time, I would have lost a lot." An investor patted his chest and said. After several days of decline, the South Korean stock market finally rose somewhat, and at that time, their problem was still unsolved, because there were relatively few people buying in the market. There are only a large number of speculative orders, and it is difficult for such speculative markets to exist for a long time. This is extremely detrimental to them, and the only way is for them to sell as many shares as they can.

Li Wen looked at the market and shook his head. He had already sold the short orders in his hand, because he knew that there would be a wave of rise in the market, and what he needed to do now was. He put the short orders in his hand as high as possible, and he arranged a series of short orders to buy points, as long as he got there, he had to do it. He knew that there weren't that many buy orders in the market. Those people are just speculating, just speculating.

Jiaozhou, Qingcheng, the board of directors of the United Shipyard.

"The stock is still in a downward trend, and as long as we keep shorting, we can buy so many stocks at an absolutely low price. The control is still in our hands. But we now have a lot of money in our hands, and what to do with these funds, as well as how to arrange them, is what we should consider. A director said at the meeting.

"Our most important goal at the moment is to expand our business scope, and Qi is a good consideration. Chu is also actively developing private shipyards, we can unite with them, it is said that in Yan country, they also have the idea of building shipyards, so that our investment is very extensive. The director said.

"At the same time, we can't give up the technical advantages, we should know that in technology, we need more ships with very fast sailing speed, because speed determines that we can make trade faster and faster, so in addition to the investment in traditional shipbuilding, we should also actively introduce advanced technology, only in this way can we meet our needs. Guarantee our interests. The director introduced. Then they began to distribute the information, the information is the relevant data they show, these data are showing that the traditional shipbuilding profits are decreasing, only cost reduction has become the only way to make profits, and the introduction of relevant high technology can improve profit margins, but there is a great risk in this, if it fails, their situation will be very bad. The directors are thinking about one such thing. Their interests are at stake.
