Wuyue Port, a port where merchant ships are berthed.

"Look at the ships from the Qi Kingdom." A man who looked like a sailor stood there looking at the warships docked in the Qi Kingdom.

"What's wrong?" A first mate asked. His hat was crooked. Holding a wine bottle in his hand. Obviously, the effect of alcohol on the brain of the first mate is very obvious.

"It's a merchant ship, not a warship." The sailor said.

"You know, I've always wanted to build ships, and I've always dreamed that I'm going to learn how to build ships now, and this ship is definitely not a warship. He was converted from a merchant ship, do you see the weighted deck on the hull? Those were added later, and the wind and waves would knock them out, even if they were equipped with a lot of artillery. But his protection is very low. It's pitiful, the artillery can easily break such a deck thickness, I think, the people of Qi must be crazy. They don't know what they get. Such a ship could sink with a simple two-gun salvo. The sailor said.

"I said, third child, is this true?" The first mate asked.

"Yes, that's true." The sailor who called the third child said. This was the first time that a Qi merchant ship had docked here, and they were to anchor here for a while while they procured some tea, which would be sold to the Indians. Indians can't do without tea anymore. Tea can bring them a lot of what they need.

"It's true, if I have armed merchant ships, wait for them to come back with more cargo, say, a lot of gold, and then kill them, and we only need to take a bite and we will be rich." The third child talked about his plan.

"Hmm. I understand. The first mate said with a smile. At sea, if the strength of the two sides is very equal, they are both merchants, and the merchants will do some business, but if one of the other side is weak, they will take a series of measures to kill the other side. At that time, they were pirates. Many merchant ships have done the same, and in a sea where there is a lot of chaos and no order has been established, force is the only guarantee of their own safety, and if they become very weak, the situation will become very bad.

Wu Yue, Zhangxiong Island, and a series of small ports of call became places where merchants and pirates gathered, and in these places, they all kept an eye on the merchant ships of all sides, which had too much value. They shipped goods to Bongla and sold them for large quantities of gold, ivory, and all sorts of valuable goods, and they could solve all their problems if they robbed such a merchant ship.

And these ports are important places to keep an eye on merchant ships. Several captains of merchant ships have noticed this. "The people of Qi are really crazy, they actually converted merchant ships into warships, and such ships can be easily knocked out." A bearded captain said.

"But now they're not valuable lambs." Another captain who was drinking said.

Qi State, Laizhou Shipyard. Another batch of merchant ships manufactured in Qingcheng entered the shipyard.

"My God, we are going to refit twenty-five such warships, I really don't know if such warships can withstand the invasion of war." A young worker said.

"These things are not our business, we are only responsible for modifications, the rest, it is the military, it is the navy's business. Don't talk about it. Work. A middle-aged worker said. What they have to do is to solve the problem of insufficient warships, and as for how to solve this problem, it is no longer their business.

Zhao Guo, Handan. A lieutenant colonel from the Qi Kingdom was watching the parade outside.

"What's going on with you Zhao Guo?" The lieutenant colonel asked a waiter, who had come here to procure. Massive artillery purchases, as well as related technology transfers. Qi needed more artillery casting technology so that more artillery could be put into naval construction.

"Why else, for the prime minister, the parliamentarians let the prime minister step down, and we, the poor people, don't want the prime minister to step down, because they are all people with children, and they all want their children to go to school and then learn something. Change the fate of your own future generation, that's it. The waiter said.

"Oh. It looks confusing. Lieutenant Colonel said.

"It's really chaotic, and we don't approve of such frequent changes of prime ministers, but those noble councilors, they have the final say, and we have no choice but to do what they want, this is something we can't do." The waiter said.

"So, your factories won't be affected, right?" The lieutenant colonel asked.

"Factory, I don't know. Who knows what those workers will think. The waiter said.

"Okay, I got it." The lieutenant colonel nodded, this was what he was most worried about, if it happened, it would be extremely bad for the shipyards of Qi State. However, they have another way, and this way is to cooperate with Zhao Guo and introduce such technology from Zhao Guo, but this requires a great price. The shares occupied are quite large. This will make the Qi State lose its dominance. It is unlikely that the lieutenant colonel will decide such a thing.

Yue's front, in the rear hospital, although the Yue's side suffered few casualties. But some wounds still caused them trouble, especially the gunshot wounds during the confrontation, which made the Qin military doctors here very sick.

"You don't look good?" A captain medic asked. His white lab coat was covered in blood, and it was clear that he had just had an operation.

"Well, those damn Yueshi people, their screams of pain kept me awake all night, and those wounds, bullets hit their limbs, we had to take amputations, lack of alcohol, couldn't make them unconscious, there are no good anesthetics in the country. Even if there is, it's too expensive. The Yueshi people will not use it for them. The lieutenant medic said helplessly.

"Huh. Oh my God, you don't even need anesthetics. The captain looked at each other as if he had heard a great shock.

"What's wrong?" The lieutenant asked, puzzled.

"Oh my God. I found a good pill here, at first, I just thought it was a pill of the Yueshi people, or a habit of theirs, and later I learned that it was a Ya pill. With that, the captain left here with the lieutenant.

"You come with me, look at those wounded soldiers, and you will know the important role of Yapian." So saying, the captain led the lieutenant to a wounded barracks. The environment here is clean. Airy. Unfortunately, the medical staff are men, not women, which makes many wounded soldiers reluctant to come here, after all, no one wants to let people touch their hidden parts.

"Look at the wounded, the amputated wounded." The captain said. For soldiers who are shot in the limbs, they can only amputate their limbs because they do not have good antibiotics. Although alcohol can solve some problems, there is still a great risk of infection because of bullets. That kind of large-caliber bullet can cause a lot of trauma. Especially flintlock pistols, who knows what kind of bacteria those bullets carry. Moreover, the wound could not be repaired at all, and the only way to end up was amputation. This is the case with many soldiers who have been shot in the limbs, as well as some soldiers who have been shot in their internal organs. The only way they could do it was to cut off part of their stomach. This was the only way to save them, which allowed the Qin military doctors to make a lot of progress in surgery.

"What are they doing?" The lieutenant saw strangely. He saw some soldiers grilling something black over the fire and inhaling the smoke, and they seemed to enjoy it, and the wound of the amputation would keep them in pain. Amputation can save their lives, but the pain of the wound can be painful. A lot of the time. The lieutenant was tormented by this scream. In that case, he couldn't do anything, which is why the Yueshi people would need a lot of alcohol, because alcohol could anesthetize their nerves, but now the situation seems to be different.

"I found that this japten has a great anesthetic effect, it makes people forget the pain, but they need to be inhaled every once in a while, and I plan to use this anesthetic, he will be of great help to the soldiers. But. The captain shook his head and said.

"But one side effect I noticed was that he used it more and more often, and the dosage was extremely indicated." The captain said.

"What do you mean?" The lieutenant felt that it would be good to find such an anesthetic. This can solve the great pain caused by the wounds of the soldiers.

"The side effect is that he will be addicted. Really, the symptoms of addiction to this kind of thing are very obvious. They won't be able to get rid of something like this in the future. The captain said.

"This. If it's the current situation. The lieutenant thought for a moment.

"I think that such a thing is also a must, this thing can solve a lot of trouble for soldiers, it is better to use some." The lieutenant said.

"That's right, that's it, that's what I thought, I've already submitted a report. It is hoped that such a thing will be planted in the rear, and he will become a military materiel. The captain said with a smile. The lieutenant nodded.

"I think, I need a little bit too, I have a terrible headache, insomnia has caused me a lot of trouble." The lieutenant said.

Mengla. The station of the new army of South Korea.

"Bangladesh has to have its own road system, all the roads in Bangladesh are in very bad condition, you can look at those damn roads, it takes a long time for our artillery to get there. And, with the development of the commerce system, we need to use a large number of four-wheeled carriages, where we can only walk, not horse-drawn carriages. It's really damn road conditions. Zhang Shi said.

"Sir, maybe we build a road system like this." A young engineer said. In fact, his qualifications are simply not up to the task.

"Yes, just." The young man continued.

"It costs a lot of money to build a road, I don't know. That's not all. The young engineer said.

"No, it doesn't cost much, just a simple fix. The financial side doesn't give you much money. In addition, that is, manpower, you don't have to think about manpower. That's it. Zhang Shi said. He knows. It costs some money to build roads, but he doesn't want to waste so much money on them, he needs to expand quite a few cities, and roads are just one of them. In this case, it is unlikely that there will be much money. But he thought of a good way, that is, manpower, manpower is not lacking, and his only way is to use a lot of cheap manpower to do anything.

"Okay." The young engineer thought for a moment and said. He had learned about the project, which was simply to build a road, and the only criterion for the road was to be able to pass artillery. Fortunately, the amount of work is not very large, and it is enough to consolidate the foundation, lay some stones on it, and do a good job of drainage. For the rest, it's up to them to see what they do.

"But there's also the issue of bridges, you know, it's rain-intensive and it's very heavy, so we have to build bridges in some key areas, but we can't do that with stone, but if we can use iron beams, or steel, we can solve those problems." The engineer said.

"Oh. This, this will raise the budget. Zhang Shi thought for a moment, and he first reacted like this.

"Well, I've already budgeted for it. We can only reduce the cost of roads and increase the cost of bridges in such areas. Some of this economic support can also be provided locally. The young engineer said.

"Okay. I understand. Fees remain the same. Zhang Shi said.

"Alright. Just do as you say. Zhang Shi said. That's when it happened. Zhang Shi's economic director walked in, obviously worried.

"Mr. Governor, I will take my leave." The engineer said.

"Okay, that's okay." Zhang Shi said.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Shi asked his economic director, who was only a military logistics manager because of the needs of their expansion. He was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Became the head of economics.

"It's not good. The economy of Bangla has been completely destroyed by us, and the farmland has been bought over to the merchants on a large scale, who have a lot of farmland in their hands. The locals have been beaten into slavery by us. We can't afford to have too many people pay taxes for some time to come, and our fiscal revenues may fall further to an alarming level. Possible. No one pays us taxes. The economic director said worriedly.

"You mean to say. We don't have taxes in the future? Zhang Shi asked.

"Yes. That's probably what it means, because a lot of the Benglas have fled. They left the place, and most of the land was concentrated in the hands of the merchants, and the only way we could get taxes if we wanted to get taxes was to tax them. The head of economics said.

"This. How can this be? Zhang Shi said.

"They are tax-exempt. We want to protect their interests. Zhang Shi said.

"But, Governor, if I do this, I can't do anything about it. We have to tax them, and in the coming period, the fiscal expenditure will be very large, so the amount of money we need will be very large. If you don't pay taxes, you can't do anything at all. Unless we borrow. Borrowing from merchants. The head of economics said.

"This." Zhang Shi had a headache. He didn't know how to solve the problem and thought it was going to be a difficult one. On the one hand, he needed those businessmen to develop his economy, and on the other hand, he needed taxes because they made a mistake at the beginning, they adopted an absolute tax policy for the locals, which directly led to the bankruptcy of a large number of Menglas. Although their revenues will increase a lot at first, then there will be a cliff-like decline, because no one will pay taxes for them, and the cost of this war will be relatively large. Mainly focused on ammunition consumption, a large number of native soldiers are constantly firing ammunition, and they need a large part of the ammunition reserves.

"Alright. You go down first, I think about this kind of problem, maybe I'll solve it. Zhang Shi said. The head of economics nodded and left the place.

A large amount of rice has been recovered by slaves. These rice paddies can ensure that they have a lot of food security, but these are rice rice, which makes the stomach of the South Korean New Army soldiers who are accustomed to pasta very uncomfortable. Many soldiers have gastrointestinal problems, and the food habits of the local people are very different from theirs, and the soldiers of the South Korean New Army have certain gastrointestinal problems, and there is still no good way to change such a situation.

"Boss, what should we plant when this rice is harvested? The land here is very fertile and there is a lot of water. And there is plenty of labor, and there are people everywhere in the docklands, and we will continue this large-scale war, and we will get rich. A young man said excitedly to a businessman.

"Hmm. Grain, no more planting. Or if it's a small plant, this thing is enough to eat. This thing is not worth much. Transported to the northern region, the local area will be at a loss. The merchant said, looking at the land. As a result of the war, more people died, or fled, and large quantities of land were sold cheaply to merchants with a lot of money in their hands, who saw a business opportunity and bought land in large quantities. The land has been concentrated in the hands of a few people at an alarming rate.

"So, let's plant what?" The young man on the side asked.

"Plant, sugar cane, the north needs sugar, just plant sugar cane, this sugar cane can make wine without anyone wanting, on the ship, the north needs a lot of alcohol, that's all." The merchant said. The only benefit that the local agricultural resources can bring is that the local area can grow sugarcane, which is the main source of sugar, and the northern part of the Qin State needs a lot of sugar, tea and sugar are the only two important materials, as for cotton, they don't have such a plan for the time being, because no one will notice what kind of use cotton will be, they feel that it is the most useless thing. Therefore, cotton has not been noticed for the time being.

The demand for alcohol stimulates the cultivation of sugar cane, and although grain can bring a lot of alcohol, it is very expensive. Sugarcane can be effectively converted into alcohol.
