"What kind of goddess religion, I think it's a cult." Han Shu said after seeing Zhang Shi's report. Zhang Shi didn't do much, he just sent people to contact the government of Bangladesh, and the first thing he had to do was to figure out his current situation, or how much influence he was facing from the Divine Po Sect, only in this way could he solve his own affairs. However, Han Shu didn't take this matter too seriously.

"Your Majesty, this matter, the minister believes, is a fierce reaction from the Monglas side to the heavy taxes, according to the report of the Mongol side. The Bangla side continued to expand its army, and within a few months we had grown to ten infantry regiments. Not only that, but they also continue to impose heavy taxes. At the same time, the Meng-La government also carried out heavy tax collection, and under such circumstances, it is understandable that such a cult organization as the Shenpo Sect has emerged to resist heavy taxation. Zhang Liang said.

"You can understand it, but I can't. In any case, I think that this is an important way for our South Korea to completely control Bangladesh, and we can use this as a basis to completely control Bangladesh, now that the opportunity has arisen. We just have to grasp it. Han Shu said.

Qin State, Northern Railway. Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Mo went to the north to recruit the expeditioning Xiongnu tribes, and there was a team of twelve people on the train, who were young officers who had graduated from the Navy's military academy.

"Navy officer." A businessman on the opposite side said after seeing Zhang Mo's military uniform. He said after putting his salute away.

"What's wrong? Can't naval officers come to the north? Zhang Mo asked.

"No, no. No, sir, I didn't mean that, I mean. The navy is usually active in Guanzhong, the south, Korea, and Chu, and recently those who go to Yan are also going to Taiyuan, and then turn to Handan to reach Yan, I heard that there is a naval base to be built on the Yan side. The merchant said.

"Yes." Zhang Mo nodded and said.

"But, in the north, I rarely saw naval officers, and the most I saw was the marines, who were in charge of land operations. I don't know exactly what happened. The merchant said.

"The navy also needs to be supported by land, and the Qin State not only gets a naval base from the Yan State, but most importantly, the Qin State also needs a railway. A connection between land and sea, without which the naval base is nothing. Zhang Mo said.

"That's right, sir." The merchant said.

"You can't do business without railways, and that's right. Of course, railways can also be extremely profitable. What I do know is that in the Western Regions, the Wenyang Railway Company has widened another railway. It is mainly transported to deliver goods. More and more parts are processed from the audience, South Korea, and Wei. They need transportation, and there are fewer people going to the Western Regions. Passenger traffic does not make money, mainly by the transportation of goods to make money. If there is no cargo transportation, this passenger transportation is enough to crush the railway company. The merchant said.

"I don't know, what business does this gentleman do?" The journey was very long and boring. Zhang Mo decided to get some information from this businessman, Zhang Mo knew the identity of the other party, because there were four or five rings on his fingers, which was usually only done by outburst households. And only businessmen can do that.

"Me. It's just to do some timber business, and this time I went to the north to do timber business, and it seems that there is only such a business to do in the north. The merchant said.

"Wood?" Zhang Mo asked with interest.

"Yes, wood, in the past, wood was mainly used in furniture, sofas, wood furniture, but the demand is not very large, now although the business is also easy to do, but the profit margin has been largely dependent on others to do this." The merchant said.

"That business, the speculative industry is very large, now, this industry, either do a lot of business, mainly rely on profits, the value of the increase to do business, for example, the best wood from the South Seas, mahogany, and nanmu, but this is controlled by the Koreans, we Qin can do it, but it is not very much, it requires a large raw material production area, the one controlled by the Koreans, you can't get involved at all. No amount of money can do it. The merchant said.

"But, why did you go north?" Zhang Mo asked puzzled.

"Huh. Speaking of which, it has something to do with the navy and navigation. The merchant said with a smile.

"Haven't there been a lot of shipyards lately? Qi Laizhou, Dengzhou, Yan almost do shipyards, South Korea is actively investing in cooperation, as well as Chu, Chu Wu Yue shipyard near a large number of shipyards, now they mainly produce wooden ships, this kind of ship has a large demand for wood, and the wood that has just been cut down can not be done, it has to be baked, Yan has such wood in Liaobei, but there is a place for mountain people, you have to spend money to buy it, but Yan people do not have baking technology, they can only cut down a large number, However, the profits are relatively small, and they are not yet available, and countries are actively developing their maritime undertakings, so the demand for their ships is very large. In such a situation. The wood is naturally large. The merchant said.

"It's as if the governments of East and West Mongolia already know about it. Yes, they are now called the Northern Alliance, they decided to attract investment in the construction of a timber railway, on the one hand, this railway mainly transports a large number of northern timber advantages, in the area north of the North Sea, where there are many timber resources, large areas of forest resources everywhere, endless, there is no end in sight, such an advantage, people envy. The merchant said.

"So, you're going north to get rich?" Zhang Mo said with a smile.

"Hehehe, no, I just have such an idea, I heard that the timber railway is already under construction. What I want to do now is to go there and find the Huns, who can occupy a large area of unowned forests, which is a large area of land for making a fortune. The merchant said excitedly, rubbing his hands together. It's as if he can get rich all at once.

"A large area of forest resources?" Zhang Mo asked curiously.

"Yes, it was because so many forest resources could not be developed before, and it was difficult to develop, and no one needed it, which led to the fact that the timber could not be transported and could not make money, but now the shipbuilding industry is so developed and the demand is so strong, which naturally causes the price of timber to rise in the market, and many things are rising." The merchant said.

"In such a situation, the demand for timber is naturally high. And the Huns were also very active. They are very willing to explore. They go to a lot of places, they occupy a big timber business, we just give them some money, they are very willing to do such things, and most importantly, they can do a lot of business if they give them very little material. Such a good thing is so simple. The merchant said.

"Hmm. Can you tell us about the Huns? Zhang Mo asked.

"This matter, I also heard from others, what kind of situation it is, I don't know myself, but what I know is that the living conditions of those Huns are not very good, before they could only live by conscription, relying on that little military salary to barely survive, but to live very well, it is impossible, you know, that place in Mobei is very cold, if it weren't for us to do business with them, exchange for some daily necessities, fuel or something, they might be frozen to death, The Xiongnu tribe will be completely wiped out by our Qin State. But now we need them, we need them to do something, and those things are expeditions, and I've heard that there are already a lot of expeditions doing that. It's just that I don't know what else is in the north, if there are minerals, it's better, the deforestation is done. I'm going to open a mine. It's just that I don't know when the timber railway will be built. The merchant said worriedly. Zhang Mo was just thinking about how to use those Xiongnu tribes to explore the naval port for the navy, he had a lot of funds in his hands, but these funds were mainly used to explore the naval port, and the Qin navy needed a naval port of its own, which was a very heavy task.

Mobei Town. The summer here is cool and comfortable, and many rich people in Guanzhong will spend money to come here for vacation, after all, it is not hot here, and in the Guanzhong area, because the city is developing faster and faster, densely populated, coupled with various urban effects, the temperature of the city becomes unbearable, and even the Xianyang Palace is equipped with luxury equipment such as air conditioning, but the effect is only average. The living environment in Xianyang is getting worse, so some wealthy people have begun to build villas in various places, such as the north, where the summer is much cooler than in Guanzhong, and many people build holiday villas here. This will also boost the economy of East and West Mongolia.

In a nondescript villa, a large number of councillors from the eastern and western states of East and West Mongolia gather to exchange information.

"The investment in the timber railway is going very well, and some railway companies have seen the value of this railway, but the problem is that this railway is very difficult to build. The main reason is the lack of labor. An ASEAN state lawmaker said with a glass of chilled wine. This cooling effect is very good.

"Lack of labor?" Simon's MP said.

"I've heard that the Yue's side has got a large number of Hindi prisoners of war, and those damn Indians can't catch them all." Simon State Councillor said.

"However, the Western Regions Railway Company has already bought it. Even those farmers and ranchers can't buy so much labor, and I thought we could get a lot of labor, but what I didn't expect was that we didn't get anything. It's a shame. Dongmengzhou said.

"What do you mean?" Simon State Councillor doesn't seem to understand what is going on yet.

"Damn the Western Regions Railway, they sold out all their labor, we don't have the labor to build the railway, it's unlikely that we're going to drive the Huns to do such a thing, if we use them, we'll get a lot of trouble, and if we use Hindi prisoners of war, the situation might be extremely easy." said the Dongmeng State Councillor.

"I see. However, I think that we had better solve this problem, the demand for wood, it may not take a long time, we can get rich if we can, anyway, those trees are placed there, sooner or later we will cut them down. Sayman Simon. He didn't seem to understand what was going on. As more and more railways are put into development, the problem of lack of labor begins to come to the fore, the population of Qin is not large, and the territory is extensive, that is, to attract a large number of immigrants, the problem is still unsolvable, obviously those railway jobs are unlikely to be done by immigrants, because the difficulty of railway construction is very great, especially Dawan, they need to cross mountains. Such engineering difficulty can easily cause casualties, and such a thing can only be done with cheap prisoners of war. It's their only option.

The kingdom of Seth, on the outskirts of a city, has been occupied by the Sabbatarians, and a large number of civilians in the city have become prisoners of war. They came out of the city in a long line.

"Where are you going to transport these people?" Jambi asked the caliph. The young military general.

"What place? Dawan, Qin State. There's a lot of labor needed, and they're willing to trade with us, ten, or eight, for a rifle, or more ammunition, and the loot is ours, and we can expand more territory. The people here, for us, are a nuisance, they refuse to pay us taxes, and these prisoners of war would constitute potential enemies in the future. The caliph explained.

"This. From here, to Dawan, to the Qin State, it may be even farther? Zhang Bi was very surprised to hear such news, and he asked his own question.

"That's right. Korean. The caliph said. For this Korean. The caliph doesn't hate it, but he doesn't like it much, he always likes to think about things independently, and he can see everything when he observes, the caliph doesn't know where Korea is, but he knows that this country from the Central Plains has its own unique civilization, and they can solve a lot of things that they haven't solved yet.

"But I know that there is a kind of road in your Central Plains country, called a railway, and there is a locomotive that runs very fast than horses. If we build a railway like this, all the problems will be solved, the problems of trade will be solved a lot, and we need it here. Open a marketplace. The caliph said.

"We've put a lot of money in here and we need a big return and your stuff is good. Korean. The caliph said.

As for the caliph's words, Zhang Bi just kept thinking. He was thinking about something, if it was really as they said, the speed of development of the people of Sabbation was very fast, and South Korea had to speed up.

"What's wrong? Koreans, good news for you. The caliph said.

"It is said that the Qin side contacted the Dawan people, and they decided to set up a telegraph line with us. From here, we can quickly pass through the Qin State in the Central Plains, and in this way, our distance will be shortened a lot, which is very beneficial to us, and this is a situation that everyone wants to see. The caliph said.

"Telegraph," Zhang Bi asked.

"Yes, telegraph, this era is developing again, and the people of Qin have a lot of good affairs. Why don't we use such tools for our own greater good, we Sabbatarians have invested quite a lot of money this time, our national finances are exhausted, we need to take it back, the Seth country has a lot of wealth, we want to open up trade to the West, your things are beautiful, and there are muskets that can bring war, we have such a military advantage, which is very beneficial to us. The caliph said.

"It's not good for you to start a war all the time." Zhang Bi said.

"Yes, I agree with what you say, but if we don't, our finances will be even more difficult, we can't do this without the wealth of the Seth country, the telegraph, the railroad, and all kinds of supplies get here, and then we will buy more advanced weapons, and we will become a very large empire. Rest in peace in the Empire. The caliph said.

Zhang Bi shook his head. He didn't know what to say.

Zhao Guo, Handan.

"We have steel technology, and Korea has a lot of technology that we need, for example, steel, we can make more lightweight iron cannons, gun carriages, iron beams on horse-drawn carriages, and more gun barrels, iron pipes. And the Koreans, on the other hand, can have superiority in the steam engine, as well as machining, and in particular, in the military industry, the fire cap. This kind of thing, we can make copper hats, but they know the recipe for fire caps, and the people of the Qin State have already used fixed guns. The range of shooting far exceeds that of our rifles, and they can also fight in rainy weather, which is an important reason for the fire cap, we need such technology. So, we can take some technical exchanges. We get far more than we give. Li Mu said.

Some key technologies are unlikely to be imported from Qin, such as smokeless gunpowder technology, fire caps, high explosives, etc., South Korea has a certain chemical technology, and they can make more cumbersome refrigerants. and ammonia, an important chemical raw material. But Zhao lacked such technology. Most of them focused on steel manufacturing, and the lack of chemistry was catastrophic, which is why they didn't have a fire cap.

"Koreans can also get our advantage in steel, and with that advantage, they can make iron beams, so they don't need our products." Li Zuoche said worriedly.

"Don't worry about that, technology is always advancing, and if we just stay where we are, it will have a very bad impact, and the impact will be very disastrous for us. I don't think you want to see that happen, do you? We should actively participate in this exchange. He has a great positive effect on us. Li Mu said.
