"Boss, how much do you give these scraps?" A woman asked, pushing a wheelbarrow.

"I see, this, these boots, are not very good-made, and the finished product is not very good-looking. I see, a pair, fifty points. What do you think? The scrap boss looked at the other man's boots and said.

"This. Such good boots, you look at these leathers, these are good cowhides, these are all bought by me from Korean factories for money, but the workmanship is not good. The woman said, looking at the broken boots.

"Nobody wants bad boots, you know, if these boots are sold, they will smash other people's brands, these scraps, I see, no one wears them. Besides. How many boots do you wear, we Central Plains people, we will wear them all winter in winter. It's a very stuffy day right now. The boss said embarrassedly.

"Boss, you're okay, you can add more. Some. The woman pleaded.

"Forget it. I also see that it is not easy for you, so I will give you ten, ten, a lot. A lot. The boss said at this time.

"Okay. Ten is ten. The woman nodded.

"I'll see, you have it." The boss nodded quickly.

"Ten, exactly. Six and a half taels. At this time, the boss quickly pointed out six and a half taels and said.

"Alright." The woman took the money and counted it carefully.

"Right?" The boss asked.

"That's right. That's right. The woman said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss. The woman thanked her with emotion.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." The boss said with a smile. The woman also pushed her wheelbarrow and left. He still has a lot of scrap on his car. These scraps are scraps made by other women, or semi-finished products that have to be bought as scrap because they are not up to standard. However, many women are reluctant to sell, but they are reluctant and have no choice, after all, these are all bought by them from the factory, and there is a certain amount of waste in the finished products they hand, and these waste products need to be borne by themselves. In order to recoup some of their losses, they had to sell these things. And then recoup some of the losses.

"Don't look at it. People are far away. The eyes followed the others. At this time, a dark and thin man walked in and said with a smile.

"Huh." The boss smiled awkwardly.

"Hurry up and order, we're running out of materials." The thin black man said with a smile.

"Alright. I'll order it with you. The boss began to take out his ledger at this time.

"But there's one thing I'm really curious about." The boss asked with the ledger in his hand at this time.

"What's the matter?" The dark and thin man asked at this time.

"What do you want these waste products for, people sell them at a low price, and these things are not easy to sell." The boss said at this time.

"You can do your business well. There are some things you can't ask. Anyway, these are scraps for you, and for me, they're all useful. The thin black man said.

"Hmm. You're right. I really can't interfere too much with that. The boss thought for a moment and said.

"Alright. Let's order. When the boss heard the reason why the other party did not explain, he was not good at asking again, after all, if he continued to ask like this, he might find out the unknowable secrets of the other party, which may be the reason for the other party's wealth.

Sinzheng, South Korea.

A recruiting point of the Chu New Army was busy in the morning, but the two responsible persons were asleep on the table.

"Huh." When Meng Tian saw such a scene, he smiled slightly and became happy.

"It seems that the people of Chu are really not good at recruiting soldiers." Meng Tian said with a smile when he saw such a scene.

"Sir, we went to several recruiting points today, and we saw the same situation as most of them here. There's nothing to see about it. Meng Yun said dissatisfiedly. The two of them changed into civilian clothes to see the deserted appearance of the conscription point of the Chu State.

"Let's go sit over there and see what's going on over there?" Meng Tian looked at the recruiting point, and then walked towards another tea spot on the side of the street.

"Two glasses of soda." Meng Tian looked at the price list of the tea point and shook his head, the price of tea here is ridiculously high, he can only order a bottle of soda, the price of soda is second only to tea, the Chu State in the south has almost monopolized all the supply of tea, which makes many people have to give up drinking tea, the price of tea is too high. Especially in Xinzheng, South Korea, and because of the war, tea is also needed to be supplied at the front, so the price of tea is higher.

Just then, a team of coolies approached.

"Owner, salty tea water. A large bowl for one person. A foreman-like man shouted loudly.

"Alright. Salted tea water. The owner of the tea shop shouted.

"What is salted tea water?" Meng Yun asked inexplicably at this time.

"A kind of tea water with coarse salt in it, and these people who work lack a lot of salt. Therefore, they need this kind of tea, but the tea leaves of this tea are the kind of tea that cannot be brewed again from other people's tea, and this kind of tea has been brewed I don't know how many times. If you take a sip, you may not be able to drink the taste of tea. Meng Tian explained.

"Oh. What does it taste like to drink such tea? Meng Yun asked curiously.

Meng Tian just shook his head, he didn't know.

"Alas, this tea can't be brewed anymore. In our Chu country, there are many such things, we only need to secretly pick a little, and we can drink it. The foreman said with some Chu Yin.

"Oh. That is, drinking tea never costs money. It's a pity that this tea now costs money. If we had known this, we would have gotten more. A coolie said helplessly.

"Come on, drink more, it's hot, drink more water." As he spoke, the foreman grunted and poured his fill.

"This brother, I think you are from the Chu State?" Meng Tian saluted respectfully at this time and asked carefully.

"Oh. Oh, yes. Don't know what's the matter with the sir? The foreman looked at Meng Tian suspiciously at this time and asked.

"Oh. That's the case, I see that you are all from the Chu State, and it is very hard to do this kind of life, but I don't know why you don't go over there to have a look, there is a recruitment point for the new army of the Chu State over there, wouldn't it be better to be a soldier? Meng Tian asked curiously.

"Oh." When the foreman heard this, he suddenly realized.

"Being a soldier, don't go, there's no benefit to being a soldier." The foreman waved his hand at this time.

"Is that the reason?" Meng Tian asked curiously.

"That's the reason, nothing else." The foreman said at this time.

"Sir, you should think about it, although we people are hard, but we make a lot of money, just the railway station, a wagon of goods, a few of us can unload it in half an hour. After a few wagons a day, everyone can get at least fifteen and a half taels, fifteen and a half taels, and the meat can be eaten. How much is a pound of meat? The foreman said at this time.

"If I live too much, I can get fifty and a half taels a day. Where can I find such a thing? The foreman said.

"If you look at the soldiers over there, they are in charge of food and housing, and they have to work hard, and the military salary is not clear at all, unlike our work, we will give as much as we want, and if the owner is in a hurry, they will give us more money, or they will give us extra food, and there is meat in it. Such a good thing. It's better than being a soldier and earning less, and it's not a small way to give up your life. The foreman said.

"Besides. The prince of Chu, who knows what he wants for, and he also asks the people of Chu to be soldiers, and people from other countries don't want it. We, the people of Chu, finally escaped from Chu, and if we go back, we don't want to be tortured again. We can't stand that sin anymore. The foreman said.

"Oh. Why is that? Meng Tian asked at this time.

"The taxes of Chu are terrible, and the army is actually not as good as here, and the taxes here are very low. And he can live well, although it is not the state of Chu, but it is much better than the state of Chu. As a soldier, I really have nothing to do. The foreman said at this time.

"Don't you want to do something for your country?" Meng Tian asked.

"I don't want to. The country is too big for us. The country of Chu is full of aristocrats, the nobility is the state of Chu, we are not aristocrats, we are coolies, we can live well here. The foreman said.

"In the state of Chu, many people ran out. Why, only those nobles can live well in the Chu State, and we can't do anything to those nobles, there is no way, we can only do this. The foreman said helplessly to Meng Tian.

"Oh. I understand. Meng Tian nodded. Say you understand.

"Being a soldier, what country, has little to do with us. As long as we live well, have a job, and earn some money every day to buy rice and noodles. And now the treatment is good, and sometimes you can eat meat. In the state of Chu, you can't eat meat for a year. If I get it right, I can still marry a daughter-in-law. With a daughter-in-law, the child is Korean, and he will be able to go to school in the future, and if he goes to school, he will be able to get out of the country, and my family will be considered stable. The foreman said to Meng Tian. These are all things that the foreman dreams of.

"Hahaha. Our foreman can also marry a wife. The others burst into laughter.

"Laugh at anything, Lao Tzu will be able to marry a daughter-in-law. I don't see that Lao Tzu doesn't drink every day, I don't believe it, if I don't drink, I can't even save my daughter-in-law's money? The foreman waved his arm to stop it.

"Hmm. Thank you very much. Meng Tian probably knew what he wanted to know. Then he quit the foremen.

On the way back, Meng Yun wanted to speak and stopped. Meng Tian smiled when he saw it.

"What do you want to say?" Meng Tian asked.

"I don't think it's very likely that we will succeed if we help Chu State do this." Meng Yun said.

"Why?" Meng Tian asked.

"Sir, you saw it too. Those Chu people are not willing to be soldiers at all, and the salary offered here is far more than the military salary written by the Chu New Army, but it is not clearly marked, not only that. Also, the living conditions here, they live here, they can live well, and if they are soldiers fighting, there is still a danger to their lives, they can't do this, the conditions offered by the Chu people are very limited, if this continues, I am not optimistic about the conscription of the Chu people, I think, their conscription is redundant. Meng Yun said.

"Hmm. It's not just you who see it, I see it that way. Meng Tian said.

"However, with such a flower, we will not be able to complete the task of the new army of the Chu State. I think the above really wanted Qin Guo to be involved in this matter. Meng Yun said at this time.

"I know. But if we do this, we need the Chu government to offer a very high price, and to do what the Chu people are not willing to do, we can only do our best, instead of doing it without purpose. Meng Tian said. Regarding the matter of the new army of Chu State, he felt that he could not do too much, after all, there were too many restrictions. The new Chu government will not have too much capital investment, and the people of Chu will not agree to such conditions at all.

"The thinking of the people of Chu is very difficult, we must report the situation here to the above, let them know the difficulties here, and think of ways to solve the actual difficulties of the people of Chu. Only then will we be able to solve this problem. Meng Yun said.

"Hmm. Don't be in a hurry, and sometimes, don't be in too much of a hurry. Meng Tian said. For this matter. Meng Tian himself didn't know what to do. He lacked a purposeful plan.

Just when Meng Tian and Meng Yun felt that they were unable to take measures against the difficulty of recruiting troops for the new army of Chu State. South Korea's Ministry of National Defense has already thought of a good solution.

"The problem of Chu is very difficult to solve." A colonel officer of the South Korean New Army shook his head.

"Think about it, the money given by the people of Chu is very limited, and now, the soldiers are all paid, but the people of Chu are very vague in this regard, and the treatment of soldiers, the issue of honor, these problems have not been well solved by the people of Chu. I think it is very difficult to form a new army of Chu. The colonel of the South Korean New Army shook his head and said.

"It can be said that the new army of Chu should not exist." The colonel said with a smile.

The other officers laughed. In their opinion, what the colonel said was very reasonable, because they all knew what the people of Chu thought that the prince wanted to save more money to do a lot of things, so that the investment of the new army of Chu would not be too much, after all, if it was too much, it would be very unfavorable for them to do other things. They all know this.

"Sir, I don't think so." Zhang Qing stood up and said at this time. His military rank was only a lieutenant colonel. Working as a security adviser in the Department of Defense is an advisor, just an adviser, and he doesn't have much real power.

"Oh. What are the insights of our security consultants? The colonel looked at Zhang Qing and asked. The colonel relied on his previous military exploits to sit in this position, and it can be said that his qualifications can be achieved in such a position. In order to be promoted, he was also selected to study in Qin, and after returning to China, his job was mainly to analyze and provide his own judgment as a reference basis.

"My opinion is that we don't have to help the Chu people recruit Chu people in Korea on a large scale." Zhang Qing said.

"As we all know, these Chu people live very well in South Korea, and the conditions are very superior in all aspects than in Chu State, and they can earn an average salary of about one and a half taels per hour. And such a salary, the Chu government cannot offer. Zhang Qing said with a smile.

"If these Chu people give up such conditions and join the new army of Chu, I think, many of them will not do it, in order to prevent them from being unemployed, they will choose to go to Qin, where the salary is higher, and the conditions are better than here, but unfortunately, the distance is long, and the cost of the road will cost an astonishing amount." Zhang Qing said.

"Moreover, if these Chu people don't do these jobs, it will also have a certain impact on us in South Korea, for example, some hard work, without them," Zhang Qing said slowly.

"Enough. My Advisor Zhang, I would like to know, what kind of solution do you have that can solve this problem? The colonel asked, looking at the other man.

"It's simple, adaptation." Zhang Qing looked into the other party's eyes and said.

"Adaptation?" The colonel looked at Zhang Qing puzzled and asked.

"Yes, it's an adaptation, if you recruit soldiers from the new army of Chu in Korea, it will be difficult to solve this problem, and the soldiers can't solve it in a very short time, not only that, but there are more difficult problems, that is, training, equipping them, these all require money, a lot of money, the time and money spent are a staggering number, I think, a government that has just been established and has received a limited amount of funds from the Qin State Bank is difficult to accept such a thing." Zhang Qing said at this time.

"However, if we adopt the method of adaptation, you must know that in the Chu State, many nobles have quite a lot of private soldiers in their hands, and if the Chu government can give the other party great benefits, we can adapt these private armies. In this way, the funds given by the Chu government will be reduced correspondingly, and at the same time, as long as the other party is given great benefits and stands on the side of the Chu government, I think that time is not a problem, and if the new army of Chu is adapted in this way, the time saved will be very beneficial to our South Korea. Zhang Qing continued.

"Not only these, but adaptation can solve a lot of problems, soldiers, we don't need to recruit on a large scale. The manpower savings are unprecedented. Zhang Qing said.

"Hmm. In that case, I think, the problem will be solved very quickly, which is really a good solution. When the others heard this, they nodded their heads in agreement. Zhang Qing's intelligence was also affirmed. After all, not any kind of person would have thought of such an outcome.

"I think it's okay, such a result, I think it is feasible, in this way, the adaptation saves time, gives a certain amount of money, and the army is of the current size. We only need to adapt the structure of the troops. Others said.

"Of course. If you do this, there will inevitably be some bad habits of the old army, and in order to solve this bad habit, I think that the new army of Chu should establish a military academy. Starting from the backbone of the army, a large number of officers will be trained every year, and these officers will be trained little by little, and then replace the officers in the old army. Zhang Qing said confidently.

"Hmm. Good way. What a solution. The others nodded their heads. And the colonel's face turned blue, and he thought that the other party had stolen his limelight.

Inside the Xianyang Palace of the Qin State.

"Is this chemical gas really that powerful?" King Qin asked Shang Wen.

"Back to the king, there is indeed such a great power, and this is only one of them, if the chemical industry of the Qin State continues to develop, there will be many chemical poison gases discovered and applied in it." Shang Wen replied.

"Oh." King Qin sighed. This meant that he was a little surprised. He did not expect that there was also the development of the chemical industry.

"Your Majesty, what the Qin State needs to do at present is to set up its own chemical combat unit, and promote preventive measures in the army, and also add corresponding departments to the treatment system of field hospitals. Only in this way can the Qin army be spared the poisoning of chemical gas. Shang Wen said.

"These are not enough, Qin should unite with several other countries to sign a contract to prevent the use of chemical poison gas in the Central Plains War, and the users should be severely punished." Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. Few people agree with that. King Qin nodded in agreement. The widow didn't know how powerful the chemical gas was, but he knew that weapons capable of causing mass casualties were terrifying. There has to be some limits. Especially a special weapon like chemical poison gas, he is not a gun, he can control it very well, and if he kills people, although he is sharp, he also needs equipment, but chemical poison gas is very cheap, and the killing power is also very huge, which is too much of a threat to Qin.

"This matter will be left to the prime minister." King Qin said at this time.

"Yes. The king. Shang Wen nodded.

"The other thing is to send reconnaissance airships and planes to Liaodong of Yan State, as well as the transfer of marines. The widow thinks that it is feasible. This is a necessary means to stabilize the two countries of Yan and Zhao, and General Wang Jian's plan can also be passed. King Qin said.

"Hmm." Shang Wen nodded, the development of Liaodong and the future development of Liaobei need to be operated by Yan and Zhao. For such a business, Qin Guo still needs help.

"As for the matter of the new army of the Chu State. The Qin State still did not want to see a strong Chu State. King Qin said at this time. For the state of Chu, the intention of the king of Qin is to let the state of Chu split, or become weak, so that the status of the state of Qin cannot form a great challenge, you know, the territory of the state of Chu is very wide, and the population is large. Such a national challenge is the greatest threat.

"Your Majesty, I, the Qin State, have already sent a military team to solve this problem." Wei Yu stood up and said.

"Hmm. It's good to be able to solve it. King Qin nodded and said.

"But how? That's what matters. King Qin continued.
