"How did I get back?" Shangwen asked.

"Thankfully, we've sent people around looking for you. Or you. Killed by a grenade long ago. Yingyu still does not change her tough attitude in the past.

And the people around him seemed to be in a hurry to say something.

Shang Wen had a headache, everything that happened before was like a nightmare. Shang Wen didn't know if the dream was real. It's like an illusion. Shang Wen himself didn't know what was going on.

However, fortunately, Shangwen listened to other people's explanations. I learned about the whole process of what happened from the side.

It turned out that yesterday Li Zuoche sent people around to look for the prime minister of Qin. He believes that the suspicion is the greatest in the area controlled by the Qi army in the entire Yandu. Because, there is a blank area for the Allies. Large-scale searches could be carried out in Allied-occupied areas. But white space. The Allies could not be deployed. Therefore, Li Zuoche believed that he should start from the place where the Qi army was entrenched, so Li Zuoche's troops began to attack the Yanwang Palace. An attempt to regain control of the Yan Palace. However, yesterday's results were not very significant. Mainly, the Qi army tried to break out, but they soon ran into the attacking Allied forces, and the Qi army quickly retreated to the reinforced concrete palaces for defense. The Allies were unable to overcome it, so they had to form a standoff.

Shang Wen's situation is lucky, because of that big pit. Shang Wen was lucky to escape. To know. The shrapnel from the explosion was enough to kill Shang Wen several times. Fortunately, the grenade landed relatively early. The shamprapnel flew right outside of the pit where Shangwen was hiding.

Shang Wen couldn't imagine such consequences when this kind of thing happened to him. Body armor can only protect Shang Wen's upper body, but the lower body. Shang Wen really didn't know. Because, there are still many major arteries in the lower body. Shang Wen couldn't help but shake his head.

"Sir. I wonder what's going on these days? Who kidnapped you. We have to report these situations to the King of Qin. The assistant asked anxiously.

And Shang Wen was still a little dazed. Because there's been a lot going on lately. It made him feel a little overwhelmed. These are all accidents other than accidents. Shang Wen was caught off guard.

"Sir." The assistant asked again.

"Oh. I really think I was kidnapped by the Mo family. I don't know why they kidnapped me. They wanted to kill me at first. I don't know why they let me go later. Shang Wen shook his head and said.

"I think they must have had something else in mind. The people of the Mo family are not like bad people. They. Sort of a good person. "Shang Wen doesn't want to implicate the innocent. Therefore, I want to say some good things to the Mo family as much as possible.

"Yes, I understand, sir." The assistant nodded at this time.

"Then I'll send a telegram to the king." The assistant nodded and said at this time.

"Okay." Shang Wen nodded in agreement.

"That's right. Message of a report on recent events. Can I take a look? Shang Wen said.

"You're busy. Take a break. Yingyu said domineeringly.

"Okay." Shang Wen verbally agreed. Actually, I want to see it. After all. Things are no longer out of your control. History has changed dramatically. The history that Shang Wen knows has been completely rewritten.

Soon, people were pushing it out. Shang Wen lay down by himself and thought about the problem quietly.

However, history has taken a serious turn. In particular, Shang Wen knew that the history behind it was no longer possible. Now the situation is turning the whole situation into two huge camps.

One is the camp that relies on the Qin state. One is the camp that is against the Qin State. Shang Wen seems to have this feeling. This camp feels like World War I and World War II. As well as during the Cold War. Shang Wen didn't know if it was right to think so. But Shangwen thinks. This kind of thing is happening.

At present, Qin's economy is developing rapidly. Behind the rapid development is the high-speed export of Qin's capital. The special note is that Qin's investment in Zhao, South Korea, and Yan is increasing.

Come to think of it. Shang Wen began to get up and look at Qin's latest economic data report. These reports are eloquent proof of this.

Shang Wen got up and looked for such a report to support some of his views on history.

And the assistant who quit is sending out an unimaginable report.

"Your Majesty. The prime minister's recent disappearance was the work of the Mo family. The actions of the Mo family have seriously interfered with the cause of the development of our Qin state. We should take some drastic measures against the Mohists. A passage in the telegram reads.

The telegram was soon sent.

Qin State Guanzhong, Xianyang Palace.

"Your Majesty. The king. Good news. Zhao Gao hurriedly ran over and said.

"What good news." King Qin asked loudly.

"Prime Minister." Zhao Gao gasped and said.

"What's wrong?" King Qin asked anxiously.

"The prime minister has been found." As he spoke, Zhao Gao presented the telegram in his hand to the King of Qin.

"I'll see." King Qin randomly grabbed the contents of the telegram and began to read it.

"Okay." King Qin shouted loudly. He quickly read the telegram.

"Good." King Qin said.

"Tell all the ministers the news immediately." King Qin shouted loudly.

"Whoa." Zhao Gao replied happily. A rare smile appeared on King Qin's face.

Soon, though. King Qin began to frown.

"Zhao Gao." King Qin then shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Gao said respectfully.

"Immediately summon Wang Qian. Wei Yi, Meng Yi and others. The widow has important things to discuss. King Qin said solemnly. Zhao Gao felt that things were a little tricky. Because King Qin's face showed a solemn aura. This kind of murderous aura can only be found when King Qin is attacked. And it was when King Qin decided to take revenge. For example, the expulsion of the people of the Six Nations. and in the mutiny against Chang Yu. Zhao Gao knew that someone would definitely be unlucky this time. I don't know who was so unlucky to provoke King Qin.

Zhao Gaonei shook his head in his heart, he couldn't say anything, after all, this was a military matter.

Zhao Gao then began to summon the main ministers to discuss matters by phone.

And Shang Wen was quietly checking the recent situation at this time. Is there some agreement with history? Shang Wen worked hard to find some data. Then use this data to reach the most consistent judgment.

"Our economy is getting more and more connected." Shang Wen said to himself.

He was looking at the recent economic report from the Qin State. These reports undoubtedly illustrate these issues.

The proportion of Qin's investment in Zhao, South Korea, and Yan is growing rapidly.

Moreover, the combined proportion of investment in the three countries surpassed that of the Guanzhong region of the Qin State.

Although the investment enthusiasm in the Guanzhong area of Qin State has slowed down. But the amount is huge. Because the Qin State has reached a certain scale after a period of cultivation. The slowdown is as it should be. After all. The overall social demand is not very large.

However, there is a common trait in this period. That is, the state of Qin is in steel. The production of cement, as well as various basic materials, has accelerated significantly. Especially in the steel market. The Qin state had almost a monopoly on all steel production.

Only a tiny fraction of the six countries produce steel. Qin's steel stocks grew rapidly. Not only the needs of the military industry, but also the needs of various aspects. Like what. The demand in the field of infrastructure and construction far exceeds Shangwen's imagination. And this number is still growing rapidly. Shang Wen is well aware that this rapid development is brewing a potential threat. This threat is. Economic crisis.

Like the United States, the economic crisis of 1929-1933 was preceded by a Coolidge boom. All stocks are growing. All people are consuming. A lot of things are being produced at full strength. Banks' investments have reached crazy levels. A lot of projects are underway. Sound is easy to do successfully.

The current state of Qin is like the United States at that time. Business is easy, and wealth is easy to generate. It is easy to make money in various industries. But where does the money come from. Shang Wen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of this. Shangwen knows. Even if it does not erupt now, there will definitely be a huge economic crisis in the future. Shang Wen's palms were sweaty.

But Shang Wen still had some luck in his heart. That was the expansion of the Qin state. If Qin continued to expand and develop new markets, perhaps these overcapacity could be sold to those emerging markets. In this way, the economic crisis of the whole country can be passed on. Shang Wen's idea is a kind of trade protectionism.

And this kind of trade protectionism has already begun to emerge. Because Shang Wen is not the only one who thinks so.

In fact, South Korea's Han Sook already has this idea. She wanted to adopt some restrictive tariffs on some products that were in conflict with Qin in a planned and targeted manner. In this way, the products of the Qin State and the products of South Korea are on an unequal platform. In this way, South Korea has the opportunity to develop its own industrial production.

Not only that, but she also wanted to make a difference in agriculture, but she couldn't do it for a while. Because Korea is invading the Wei State. The state of Qin was in a sensitive period. South Korea did not want to anger the Qin people in this matter.

As a result, South Korea can only brew such a thing. Then take the opportunity to suppress the momentum of the Qin State in terms of tariffs, and provide a good opportunity for the development of the country's economy.

It's not just South Korea. The state of Chu also felt that such measures should be taken to restrict the development of the state of Qin, and their idea was very good. And it is easy to have major benefits for the Chu State, but their execution ability is very poor, and it is difficult to do such a thing.

So, none of these things happened. For one reason or another, trade protectionism has not risen for the time being. However, this awareness is already there. It's just that they need an appropriate moment to break out. Shang Wen didn't know anything about this, after all, his specialty was only military weapons manufacturing. and not the economic sphere. No one can say for sure about the economy. Because it's the result of an interaction.

Shang Wen's idea was simple. It was to use continuous military expansion to offset the overheated capital surplus of Qin's domestic capital export investment. But is this just a problem of overheating investment that can be solved? Shang Wen is clearly on this issue. Think about it a little more simply.

This is because there is an extremely complex banking issue involved. The banking problem was linked to Qin's financial system. Pull one to start the whole body. Shang Wen couldn't sort out the relationship between them at all.

Shang Wen is still in a naïve period of political maturity. Over time. Shang Wen's naivety is no longer able to adapt to this rapid demand. Because he can't know exactly what is going on. And some things have developed far beyond Shang Wen's understanding. His ability cannot support such a large strategic macro situation.

It's not just about investment at home. foreign issues. The Qin State slowed down several spirit expansions. The soldiers of the Qin State were nervous. Qin's defense forces were somewhat weak. To defend such a large empire. The Qin state needed to recruit more troops, but that would inevitably put a lot of pressure on the economy. Shangwen also wants the economy to continue to grow. If the army is inflated again. It is bound to have a big impact on the economy. This is a very contradictory question. Shangwen was unable to solve this paradoxical problem.

However, slave revolts in the North were stabilizing. This made Shang Wen feel reassured. Although there are reports of the tyranny of the Qin state in the issue of the use of slaves. But the problem is, these things have happened before. This kind of thing is just a rehash of the same old tune. No one is going to pay attention to that. Qin's transportation capacity was extremely tight, and Qin was unable to send these slaves south to a suitable place.

However, in the northern part of Qin, a special slave appeared in the huge slave group of Qin.

"Who?" A Qin cavalry patrol unexpectedly noticed something brown in the snow not far away.

"It's the Huns." The Qin cavalry shouted quickly.

"Bang." The cavalry opened fire quickly. He wants to kill the other party in the first place. in order to secure their own lives.

"Gollum." And unexpectedly. The Huns shouted loudly, but stood up unexpectedly. Hands raised in the air to signify surrender.

"Don't move." The cavalry of the Qin State was pulling the bolt of the gun and firing a second time, because of the relatively close distance. The cavalry was clearly a little nervous.

"Damn it." The cavalry shouted loudly.

"What's the matter?" At this time, a captain waved his saber and stepped forward quickly.

"Two Huns." Saying that, the cavalry looked nervously at the two Huns. The two Huns did not launch an operation to harm the Qin people.

"Hmph." The cavalry captain rode his horse and looked at the two Huns very calmly.

"Do you speak Qin dialect?" The captain asked calmly.

"A little." This time. A Hun stepped forward and replied.

"Yes, that's good." The captain said as he sat down on his horse.

"Where do you come from?" The captain looked at the Hun coldly and said.

"We're from the north." The Huns replied.

"There's a sea over there, and we're coming from there. It can't be produced over there. We're here just to survive. The Huns said.

"It's strange to me that you understand our words. And. You guys are calm. The captain asked with a smile. There was a sly sly smile on this smile. It seems that once you say something wrong. He would wield his saber and slash him to death.

"I used to do business with the people of the Central Plains, but now I can't do business." The Hun said.

"Yes." The captain just nodded.

"Who is this?" The captain said, waving his sabre. And the two Huns were obviously nervous at this time. They were ready to revolt. And the cavalry was ready to shoot.

"Don't kill us. He's mine. The Huns turned their heads to look at the other Hun at this time. The other Hun nodded. Then he said.

"It's my son." The Huns replied.

"There are still such people among the Huns." The captain looked at the other Hun and said.

"We can't live. It's too cold in the north. The Huns explained.

"Yes. I know that. The captain said.

"We're going to kill you all." The captain looked at the Huns with disdain. They were filthy and their hair was scattered. It really didn't give the captain courage.

"But your eyes. Much like a wolf. Wolves on the steppe. The captain said.

"The wolf of the steppe. I like it. But. Right now. I need two wolves. Two wolves that can be by my side. The captain said with interest.

"Are you willing to do it?" The captain asked.

"This." The Huns took another look at the Huns.

An incomprehensible look. No one knows what the other Hun thinks. Anyway, he nodded in agreement.

"Good." The captain said with a smile.

"Cavalry, take them away. Give them a personal stamp of mine. The captain smiled and left.

And the cavalry guarded with two men left. These two Huns were none other than Maudun and his forerunners. The cavalry of the Qin army launched a large-scale dragnet search in the grasslands, and the slaves who had been completely routed fled in all directions. This had to make the Qin army disperse and arrest them one by one.

"See. Two more dirty things. A soldier guarding the Qin army camp said.

"Their heads will hang up soon." Another Qin soldier said.

"These damn Huns. The head is so hard. As he spoke, a Qin soldier at the door brandished a saber in his hand and cut off the head of a Hun. Then kick his head to the side.

"Damn it. Bah. As he spoke, the Qin soldiers spat at the still bleeding head. And the Hun saw such a scene. The fist clenched and followed.

"The chief wants these two men to be slaves. Put shackles on both of them, and stamps. The cavalryman said.

"I'll see." As he spoke, a sergeant in a single coat walked over. He grabbed the hair of a Hunn. Took a look.

"What the hell is this?" The soldier scoffed.

"Come on. Give them this. As he spoke, the soldier took out a red-hot soldering iron from a nearby fiery bonfire.

"Poof." Very sudden action. The soldiers had already branded the Hun with a distinctive logo.

This sign signifies that he becomes a slave. The logo is on the forehead. It can't be eliminated. And it's easy to identify. With the beginning of the arrest operation. The Qin army no longer began to massacre its opponents wantonly. Instead, they began to capture their opponents. Let them be slaves. The later stages of the war were morale for making money and getting rich, and the soldiers' salaries were simply not comparable to the wages at home. If a soldier wants to make money and make a fortune, he can only make money in the later stage. This behavior is generally acquiesced. Because, as the generals know, it is not easy for the soldiers to get money.

"Woo." Another Hun glanced at the Xiongnu who could speak Central Plains. He gave him a cold look. Then take the initiative to stand up. A handful snatched the soldering iron from the sergeant's hand.

"Poof." There was no sound. The surrounding Qin people were stunned. They have not seen such an active Huns.

In general. Slaves, especially those of the Huns, would have been very repulsive. They will put up fierce resistance. The measure taken by the Qin army was to cut them down. Hang their heads up. They are dismissive of this.

The Qin army's temporary camp was full of such heads. It's for them. It's nothing.

And the amazing actions of this Hun. Shocked them.

"Woo." Saying that, the Hun did not resist at all. Pick up the Huns. Wait for their next instruction.

"Good. Give them something to eat. "The captain saw the Hun move. Then he said with a slight smile.

"Yes. Sir. The sergeant replied in surprise.

"Alright." The captain said.

"Take them down." The captain said.

As everyone knows. This amazing slave was none other than Prince Maudun. He was making great sacrifices in exchange for the trust of the Qin people. He wants to know everything about Qin. It's all there. Sacrifice is a must. Although it is a shame. But that's as it should be.

And in the Qin State Pass. King Qin is taking a drastic measure.

"The widowed prime minister was kidnapped by the Mo family for no reason." King Qin said sternly.

"These Mo families. It's simply lawless. King Qin scolded loudly.

"The widows should destroy them. Wipe them out completely. King Qin said as he drew his sword. Wave it up.

"The king is angry." Wei Yu said.

"Calm your anger." King Qin said coldly.

"The prime ministers of the Qin State have all been arrested. Don't. And one day, the widow's life will be taken away. King Qin said.

"Assassinations, kidnappings, such acts are despicable." King Qin scolded loudly.

"The Mo family has intervened in the widow's actions many times." King Qin shouted loudly.

"What do the Mo family think they are. They are justice, and they can represent the unity of the world. King Qin asked loudly.

"They don't understand the world at all." King Qin roared loudly.

And the military general just bowed his head quietly and said nothing.

"Zhao Gao." King Qin continued.

"The widow ordered. Kill the Mo family". King Qin suddenly stuck his sword on the ground.

"Whoa." Zhao Gao replied respectfully.

"The prime minister who kidnapped the widow. Is the Great Qin State so easy to mess with? King Qin shouted loudly.

Zhao Gao respectfully stepped aside. The King of Qin then left. Zhao Gao also hurried to convey the order. After the Mo family was unified, it came to the end with those chivalrous people. They are people who are not accepted by society. They become a different kind of society. This kind of society is the rivers and lakes. An independent society that lives in society.
