"The attitude of governments has exceeded our expectations." Shang Wen hurriedly came in from the outside and sat down and said to Meng Yi.

"The government of Qi did not object, and expressed its willingness to accept it, and this is the content of the telegram that Tian Heng personally persuaded and wrote." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Yes, it was a big surprise to me." Shang Wen shook his head and said. He said to Meng Yi with an expression of disbelief.

"To be honest, this was a big surprise to me." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"I originally estimated that Qi Guo might be the first to object, but what I didn't expect was. It was Yan Guo who objected, but only sent a telegram. However, Qi Guo's attitude greatly exceeded our expectations, and they accepted all this with a very calm attitude. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"I think there's one person behind it who plays a key role." Shang Wen thought about it at this time and said.

"Lou Jing?" Meng Yi said.

"Yes. It's him, I think it's his role is very clear, he has observed and understood a lot of things in the Qin State, and he has read a lot of economic books in the Qin State, this person is definitely a talent, if it is not for the Qi State, or if he serves the Qi State, he may be a good Minister of Economy, or the Minister of Finance. Shang Wen said.

"No, no, no." Meng Yi shook his head at this time and said.

"I think the best Minister of Finance, or Minister of Economy, should be you." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"You have a four-year term left and I think you will definitely be re-elected this time. But next. According to the regulations, there may be a change of government. I have a lot of worries about the future administration. Meng Yi said worriedly.

"You want me to be the Minister of Economy?" Shang Wen asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's what I mean, because only you can be sensitive to what the future direction of economic development is? But we don't know this, maybe because you are from a technical background, or you can be keenly aware of the revolution brought about by technological changes, so I personally think that no one can take your place at this point. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen. As Shang Wen's election date finally approached, Meng Yi began to worry about what would happen after Shang Wen's term of office, and what would happen to the Qin Congress when Shang Wen's current government left? When Meng Yi thought of this day coming, he felt very frightened, or rather, he felt worried.

"It doesn't matter, Qin has a think tank, they will use mathematical methods and data methods to provide you with reference value, in this way, you can also do it more rationally." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"I'm just doing better, you don't have confidence, in fact I think you're going to be able to surpass me, because you're going to be standing on my shoulders." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Believe in yourself, and you will become the greatest government of the Qin State." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi. In Shang Wen's view, Meng Yi has the potential to serve as the prime minister of Qin, and lead the Prime Minister's Mansion of Qin to further make outstanding contributions to the positive development of Qin.

"Okay." Meng Yi nodded in agreement.

"Let's talk about other things, we have a lot of things to manage at the moment, and we can't focus all our attention on this." Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. After the Yan people objected, there was no more. In contrast, on the contrary, the state of Chu is a bit excessive, Fan Zeng's advice to me is that the state of Chu has a vast territory, and they have a large population, and there are many resources waiting to be developed, South Korea, and Zhao are only countries in the Central Plains, and their territory is not much, in this case, they think that it is necessary to adjust it and give the state of Chu a greater bond allocation ratio, for example, three points zero. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"What's their reasoning?" Shangwen asked.

"The reason is that they have a large population and a very weak foundation, especially for maritime trade, and they need a large number of ships, but these ships are pitiful. So they don't have money and need a lot of money to develop, that's what they want. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"What do you think?" Shangwen asked.

"If it remains the same, we can provide more funds to the Chu State, but if the other party's funds are wasted on a large scale, we can't do anything. I think we should tell the people of Chu about this, otherwise, they will be entangled, which is very unfavorable to us. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Yes, the people of Chu should be told this, otherwise, they won't know how to use these funds at all." Shang Wen said.

"If necessary, or if the people of Chu are entangled again, we can set up a committee to manage such a thing and see if the people of Chu will do this." Shang Wen said.

"That's it." Shang Wen decided.

The Western Regions, inside Meng Tian's office.

"How's the situation at the front?" Meng Tian asked the telegraph receiver.

"Sir, this is the latest telegram." Meng Tian results in the receiver's telegram looks. These telegrams have been translated, and some of them are sent directly, the Yueshi people can't understand the telegrams of the people of the Qin State, and they don't have such equipment, the Tocharians can only look at it, but they can't use it, the most terrible point is that the telegrams sent by the people of the Qin State, their own people, such as the people of the Western Regions, the mountain people, they can't understand it themselves, so there is no need to encrypt, some normal telegrams, in order to speed up the time, many senders and receivers send them directly, not after encryption and then send again.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ben came in and asked.

"How about Chief Meng also take a look at the telegram for himself?" Wang Ben came in and asked.

"yes. These telegrams had to be seen in person to know what was going on, and there were already few front-line telegrams. If you don't look at it anymore, you won't know anything. Meng Tian shook his head and said.

"Is the agreement signed?" Wang Ben asked.

"Ready to sign, but I plan to wait a little longer and confirm the reconnaissance report from the front. In particular, we can only move further after you have taken military action. Meng Tian said.

"What do you mean?" Wang Ben asked.

"The Tocharians must first withdraw their troops, only in this way can an agreement be signed, you must occupy the places you did not occupy before, and you can only act after you get the land, and at the same time, in order to show the sincerity of the Qin people, but also to test the trade situation." Meng Tian said.

"That's what the above means, the above hopes to make an arms business, see how the Tocharians are doing? We know that it is futile to increase their military strength if they simply give the other side a certain amount of ammunition and do not adopt some changes in their organization. Meng Tian said.

"There are so many ideas for national defense." Wang Ben said.

"But I agree with you to do this, at least you can maximize the interests of the Qin State, I agree to do this, I will increase some manpower into the area actually controlled by the Tocharians, in this way, the front line needs at least twelve to eighteen infantry regiments to complete such a task." Wang Ben said.

"There will also be a number of police forces to assist you." Meng Tian reminded.

"Of course, but, population, we must have an economic base to occupy such a place, otherwise to occupy such a place, the logistical consumption alone is a big number, and there is no railway. Logistics is my biggest concern at the moment, you know? Wang Ben said to Meng Tian.

"What I'm worried about is logistics supply, twelve to eighteen infantry regiments, the materials needed for logistics are a huge number, such a railway alone can't support it at all, the most terrible thing is that there is no such railway at present, so I hope the above can understand our intentions, they should know our situation the most, if twelve to eighteen infantry regiments are fully advanced, it is easy to be surrounded in such terrain, once a part of it is eaten, this is a very huge loss for us, I think, You should add one more, which is to lay a railway, and as long as it is spread along the railway line, we will be in a much better situation, if we can't, the situation will be very bad. Wang Ben put forward his own opinion, if Qin wants to completely master the Yueshi Mountains, it is not only to send more infantry to defend the occupied important places, the most important thing is logistics supply, if the logistics are not smooth, Qin sent more infantry regiments to defend in vain, in this case, Qin should make some improvements, at least this improvement is to make huge changes, this change comes from the changes in Qin's transportation, if there is no such change, Qin will not be able to control the area at all.

"Yes. You're right, if you hadn't reminded me, maybe I would have forgotten about it, or ignored it, our purpose is not just a simple purpose like occupying Yueshi, the key is the railway, whether we can quickly send our troops up, controlling the area is a factor, and the other factor is transportation, and the change of traffic conditions can further stimulate economic changes. This is a very serious point, but one that has to be paid attention to. Meng Tian said.

"So, I hope that your Ministry of Defense will reconsider our situation, you know that mountain warfare requires a lot of materials, and the logistical guarantee has almost reached a demanding requirement." Wang Ben said. Meng Tian nodded. The reason why the Tang Dynasty in history lost control, and it was difficult for the Central Plains Dynasty to advance after arriving here, was the transportation situation, and the cost of sending soldiers and materials for thousands of miles was too large, which may have exceeded the limit of the Central Plains Dynasty. What Qin State has to do now is to raise such a limit, or change this situation that is very unfavorable to Qin State, otherwise, it will bring great hidden dangers, and this hidden danger may be a disaster.
