"For the demand for steel, I think that over time, Zhao will gradually have such technology. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Shang Wen said comfortingly to Li Mu. As the date of the summit approaches. At this time, Li Mu also needed the main meaning of the content of this meeting of the Qin State.

"Rest assured, I think that in the near future, Zhao will definitely produce a large amount of steel, and the amount of steel will far exceed that of Qin." Shang Wen said to Li Mu with a smile.

"Really?" At this time, Li Mu asked.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"After all, Zhao Guo has a lot of technical reserves, but at present, Zhao Guo should not consider the production of steel, but should increase Zhao Guo's iron production capacity on the current basis, this is what Zhao Guo must do, after all, the demand for iron will be very large, in addition, Zhao Guo has a great energy advantage, such an advantage, have to consider other industries, this, I think Zhao Guo should pay attention to some in this regard." Shangwen proposed.

"Hmm. I understand this, however, the funds. Zhao Guo also lacks a lot of financial problems. The prime minister should understand this point that at present, an iron factory and a railway construction in Zhao State have consumed a lot of capital, and more nobles have also lost a lot before, so if they want to recover the current losses, I think, the hope is not very great. Li Mu said to Shang Wen.

"I understand what the general said." Shang Wen habitually called Li Mu such a general, in Shang Wen's opinion, Li Mu is a qualified soldier, and such a soldier's quality is worthy of his respect.

"Not only that, recently the Qin State has encouraged our Zhao State to develop colonies, and until now, we have not solved the problem of funds for the purchase of colonies. In this case, it will be very difficult for us to develop other things, and we want to expand our current sales on the basis of the current profits of the iron works, and then expand our current profits. Li Mu said.

"The prime minister should also understand that Zhao's financial income is very low. The situation in the entire Zhao State is very unoptimistic. Li Mu then said to Shang Wen.

"I understand all this, so we have changed a lot in the Qin State. Especially on the banking side. Shang Wen said.

"Is it an investment from a bank?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes. The investment of banks, commercial banks no longer make commercial loans as before, simple commercial loans, such loans can not be very profitable, which is very costly for us, and a cycle is difficult for us to accept. Shang Wen said to Li Mu.

"Zhao Guo has established his own stock trading market, which has inspired us a lot, so that we can consider and invest, so that you can also get sufficient funds, and we can also have good investment projects to earn." Shang Wen said.

"Moreover, if you invest, you can solve a lot of problems. For example, in the case of colonies, if Zhao can set up a colonial company, or a corresponding commercial trading company, then we can invest in, and we only need to occupy a certain amount of shares. As for how to run and what you buy. We don't care what we sell, we just think there is value in the investment. Shang Wen said.

"In this way, we can cooperate with each other, and at the same time, we can also greatly sell Zhao Guo's ironware, after all, Zhao Guo has a corresponding iron factory, and after the iron factory is there, we can expand a large number of iron factories, which are very beneficial to Zhao Guo." Shang Wen said to Li Mu.

"Does the prime minister really think so?" At this time, Li Mu asked.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded.

"This is the trend, the current demand for iron is very large, and there are places to produce iron in the Qin State, but there is a lack of a certain foundation. Or maybe the conditions are not too good. And Zhao has such conditions, I think that Zhao can make full use of its own advantages and introduce Qin capital to develop. Shang Wen suggested to Li Mu.

"Hmm. We will consider the Prime Minister's thoughts. Li Mu nodded.

"It's just that we are not clear enough about the specific methods." Li Mu continued.

"It's simple." Shang Wen said.

"Bringing in capital, pledging a large number of shares, and these shares are equivalent to capitalization. They can then be used as proof of shareholding. Shang Wen said.

"In this way, a large number of companies can be established, and these companies, if they have good profitability and financial status, then they can quickly enter the stock market and trade in the stock market, so that they can develop rapidly." Shang Wen said.

"Is it really okay to do that?" Li Mu thinks that if this is done, it will be easy to stimulate the development of Zhao Guo's company, think about it, as long as I have a project, those nobles have a lot of such resources in their hands, and with these resources, they can quickly find a project, and then attract funds from Qin's investment bank. They make money easily, and the taxes they generate are also very considerable. There are many reasons for Zhao's poor financial situation, but the decline in the profitability of Zhao's economy has a lot to do with it. And if Shang Wen does this, it will greatly stimulate the economic development of Zhao State. This is of great benefit to Zhao Guo, and such benefits are obvious.

"If you do this, you will not only stimulate the economic development of Zhao State. In addition, there was a great development for the Qin state. Shang Wen said.

"Zhao's economy and Qin's economy seek cooperation, such a thing is a normal thing in the case of investment, in this way, not only Zhao can develop, Qin can also benefit from Zhao's development, after all, Qin has a lot of economies, such an economy is easy to find business opportunities and develop together." Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. It's a win-win situation. Li Mu said to Shang Wen.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded in acknowledgement.

"However, we need Zhao to be able to provide more conditions, for example, in terms of infrastructure." Shang Wen said.

"This, Zhao Guo needs a lot of financial funds, and I'm afraid this can't meet your needs." Li Mu said that he was helpless, this is indeed the case, Zhao Guo's financial funds are very lacking, in this case, Li Mu can not meet such a demand at all.

"Hmm. Looks like I said it a little early. But I think that sooner or later, Zhao Guo will solve this problem himself, because if you want to attract investment, sometimes it will change because of a railway, or because of the convenience of transportation. Shang Wen said.

"It seems that we have to invest in construction." Li Mu said.

"Hmm. Perhaps there are other ways to solve these problems, after all, many times, the government can make money on these projects. Shang Wen said.

"In addition, there are many projects in which the government makes money. I think the general will definitely not be limited to this. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. I understand. Li Mu nodded. Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes. The government's fiscal revenue does not have to be placed on finance and taxation, but can also be placed on other aspects, such as selling land, minerals, and participating in specific projects. These places can have government investment projects. Li Mu suddenly thought of something. The northern government of Wei relied on this to develop, they took advantage of the transportation convenience of the railway, took out a large amount of nearby land for sale, the price of these lands rose rapidly all of a sudden, they did not care what the purpose of these lands were used, but they could quickly make profits, so that the fiscal revenue could be completed without fiscal taxation. In this case, Zhao can also be done in this way, which is of great benefit to Zhao, for example, colonies, such opportunities have a lot of use.

"In addition, it is Zhao Guo who can give more benefits to investment projects, and we hope that the more such projects, the better. After all, it's a great benefit to us. Shang Wen said.

"What are the benefits of this?" Li Mu asked.

"For example, taxes, or other support. Legal support is also possible. Shang Wen said.

"That's it. I'm a little vague. Li Mu didn't know what Shangwen's legal support was?

"I don't know much about that, but as things develop, I think it can be done." Shang Wen said.

"Hmm." Li Mu nodded. He thinks that what Shang Wen said is very right, and it is true that further development is needed to see specific things clearly, otherwise, the implementation of things just by relying on some speculation will bring great disasters to Zhao Guo.

"I understand these things, I will study some of them, and I hope to be able to discuss more with the prime minister, after all, such things will be very beneficial to us." Li Mu said.

"Hmm. In addition, I think that Zhao should also shift some of its attention abroad, for example, to colonies, and in other directions, such as Yan. Shang Wen thought of the problem of Yan Guo at this time, in his opinion, Yan Guo and Zhao Guo have a deep contradiction, or this problem can be solved very much at this time.

"This, I'm afraid we can't be the master." Li Mu shook his head and said. For the Yan country issue. Li Mu also knew very well that Zhao was sandwiched between Qin and Yan, and if Qin continued to make friends with Yan, Zhao would be formed to fight on two fronts, and history is true. But on diplomatic issues. Li Mu has his own ideas, but domestic public opinion is not something he can control. So it's hard for him to get a lot of support on this.

"I can't do anything about this, Zhao Guoren is very persistent, especially in some inherent views." Li Mu said to Shang Wen.

"I think this is a prejudice against the people of Zhao Guo. I think Zhao Guo can try it on specific interests, and no one wants to make greater losses on the issue of interests. Shang Wen suggested.

"Hmm". Li Mu nodded. However, there was one thing that Li Mu had noticed, he didn't know what Shang Wen wanted to do, especially on the issue of Yan Kingdom. Sensitive to this question, Li Mu decided to ask Shang Wen.

"I just don't know what the prime minister thinks of the Yan State issue?" Li Mu asked.

"I think that the first problem that Yan has to solve is the Korean problem, and then it can further develop the area north of Liaodong, where there are vast undeveloped areas, and I think that Zhao can also consider colonies over there." Shang Wen said.

"Really?" Li Mu didn't expect it. Shang Wen would ask Zhao to consider the colonies in northern Liao.

"Yes, but the first thing that Yan's problem has to solve is his North Korean problem. These two problems are difficult to solve and are more thorny, and I hope that Qin and Zhao can solve this problem together. Shang Wen said.

On the issue of Yan, Shangwen hopes that there will be a helper country to develop Yan, which is not a very good market for Qin, and the Korean issue is also a money-consuming project, because if it is not done well, the war will continue. After all, no one knows what the Goguryeo people think. Therefore, the Qin State needed an ally to solve this problem together, and on this issue, Shang Wen thought of the Zhao State, after all, the Zhao State and the Yan State were very close to each other. The two sides have a great geographical relationship.

"This matter, we Zhao Guo need to think about it carefully." Li Mu is very unfamiliar with this issue. In particular, they have never seriously considered the direction of development in the Yan Kingdom, and in their opinion, the Yan Kingdom is only a defensive direction, not the main development direction. Therefore, on the issue of Yan State, Zhao State was a little hasty. However, this also attracted Li Mu's attention. After all, Shang Wen would not ask such a question for no reason, Zhao Guo really needs to think about it, use foreign affairs to divert domestic contradictions, and then develop Zhao Guo's own affairs.

Then the two ended the conversation, however, the issue of Yan Guo was raised. It was a very accidental thing, after all, Shang Wen was also when Zhao Guo raised the issue. Came up with such a scheme by chance. In this way, Shang Wen thought of another plan three. That is, whether the Qin State can unite with Korea has its own specific views on the issue of the development of the Wei State and the Qi State. After all, South Korea has been actively pursuing a policy of foreign expansion, can Qin take advantage of this to expand its influence? Shang Wen believes that this is feasible, and if it does, it can bring a large number of investment project opportunities to the Qin state. In this way, more projects can be made.

Shang Wen had to be happy about his idea at this time, and he decided to go back early and tell Meng Yi about this idea.

"How so?" Han Shu was very annoyed and asked the Minister of Defense with a telegram.

"Two attacks. Attacking all the way by land, they finally managed to enter, and there were not many troops in the first place. It's good now. On the other hand, they attacked from the sea, and there were not many merchant ships to support them, and there were no warships. In this case, is it possible for our men to attack only from land, and only have the strength of a reinforced regiment, three thousand, three thousand to attack the opponent's strength of fifteen thousand. Han Shu waved the telegram in her hand and asked loudly. Han Shu also learned today what happened on the front line, the marines attacking from the sea did not have enough ships, not a single warship. The main purpose of the sea offensive is not to launch a surprise attack, but to provide sufficient logistical support, in order to ensure that there are sufficient logistical materials to reach and occupy Langya smoothly. South Korea chose to transport supplies by land and hoard them in the Binhai District, and then transport them from the Binhai District to Jimo City by sea. In this way, the logistics and transportation tasks of the South Korean Marine Corps can be completed, and with such logistics and transportation, it can greatly guarantee that South Korea can win this war, but now it seems. Such a plan may not be realized, because South Korea lacks enough ships.

"Your Majesty, in this matter, the minister thinks that there may be some problems." Zhang Liang thinks that things happened suddenly, but if you think about it carefully, there may be many things that he didn't notice.

"It's not some problems, but big problems, if these problems can't be solved, I think, we can't beat the Chu army at all." Han Shu said.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the main problem is still in the merchant ships, the minister doesn't know what happened, the Korean merchant ships will not support the South Korean marines, but the minister believes that we must have a problem, there will be such a problem, the top priority, should be as soon as possible to let the South Korean merchant ships recover, gather over, only in this way can a large number of troops, logistics supplies, if there are no these materials, I think, our situation in South Korea will be even worse." At this time, Zhang Liang made further suggestions.

"Hmm." Han Shu nodded. Han Shu calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, she thought that Zhang Liang was right.

The Minister of Defense on the side also thought that Zhang Liang was right, but he didn't know where the specific problem was. Therefore, he did not dare to catch his breath.

"I don't know how you gave the order, Minister of Defense, and what exactly did you do with the merchant ships that South Korea recruited?" Zhang Liang saw Han Shu calm down at this time, so he hurriedly asked the Minister of Defense about the specific matter.

"This. We are very ordinary solicitation, at most give them some merchant ships and some subsidies, that's it, the prime minister should know. The Minister of Defense said with some grievances.

"Our military spending is not much, and there is only so much we can do to show our hands." That's when the Minister of Defense said.

"Are you just giving some subsidies?" At this time, Zhang Liang asked solemnly.

"Yes, we can only give such subsidies." said the Minister of Defense.

"Looks like we've found a problem." Hearing this, Zhang Liang said to Han Shu.

"What's the problem?" At this time, Han Shu hurriedly asked.

"The subsidy we give is too small. After all, Korean merchant ships are commercial interests, and Chen heard that these merchant ships can make several times the profit by selling goods from the South Seas, and then a large number of goods imported from the Qin State are loaded onto the ship, transported to the south, and sold to the colonies of the Chu State, or other places, they can also make a lot of money. Although the stakes are high. But they make enough money, plus there is a certain storm season, so that they have to devote a lot of time to sailing, and the subsidies we give are not enough to offset such profits. Naturally, merchant ships were reluctant to participate. After all, if you do this, these merchant ships will have a lot of losses. Naturally, they were reluctant to do so. Zhang Liang said.

"I see. Isn't it enough for these merchants to give them profits? Hearing this, Han Shu felt a little angry, Han Shu felt very annoyed by the behavior of these businessmen who forgot their righteousness, but there was nothing to be done, after all, they were businessmen, and South Korea still needed these businessmen, but the businessmen's behavior was still very annoyed, just because the subsidies they gave were not enough, they did not obey the orders of the Admiralty, which was a very big blow to her.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the problem is not with the merchants, the merchants are originally heavy profits, and we should understand that they have done such a thing." Zhang Liang said at this time.

"Understand, the widow can't understand." Han Shu said with some annoyance.

"Your Majesty. The former ministers believed that the problem of logistical supply should be solved as soon as possible, and instead of collecting ships, the merchants did not follow the orders from above. Zhang Liang said.

"For businessmen do not obey orders. Although the minister also believed that it was extremely disadvantageous for the merchants to do so, we were going to use the merchants' merchant ships to transport logistical supplies, and if Korea could help Qi build a road to solve our logistical supply problem, then we could also solve our logistical supply problem by guiding the interests of the merchants. At this time, Zhang Liang persuaded hard.

"Hmm." Han Shu began to calm down at this time, she felt that Zhang Liang was right, the key to the problem was not whether the businessman obeyed the order, but to solve the logistics supply problem as soon as possible, if this problem was not solved, then there would be a big logistics supply problem. The trouble caused by this problem will be very big. This will have too much impact on South Korea's next military action.

"Yes. You're right. Is there any way you can fix this? At this time, Han Shu asked.

"Hmm." Zhang Liang thought about it.

"The minister's view is that they can only be brought in by promising them great benefits, otherwise it will be difficult to mobilize them." Zhang Liang said.

"Tell me, do you have any specific solutions?" Han Shu said a little anxiously.

"The idea of the minister is to divide the interests after the war. In particular, some of the benefits, benefits and so on of Jimo City. At this time, Zhang Liang thought about it and said.

"Is it not possible for the widow to give them the spoils of war?" At this time, Han Shu asked a little unhappily.

"No, what I want to say is that South Korea has given tax exemptions, in addition, and a large number of investment projects, such as port construction. There are also discounts on merchant ships and so on. After all, a city like Jimo, Korean cuisine has just been occupied, and if South Korea wants to develop and recover, it will need a lot of funds and manpower to develop, so if we give them a lot of post-war benefits, they will inevitably participate, so that they can greatly mobilize their enthusiasm. Zhang Liang said. Zhang Liang just provided such an idea. But he hasn't figured out exactly how to implement it, after all, he is right to have such an idea. Instead of suppressing, it is better to actively mobilize the interests of businessmen. In this way, the businessman will actively participate.

"Hmm. That's right. Han Shu nodded, he thought that Zhang Liang's idea was correct.
