"The continued deterioration of the situation in Yanguo does not do us much good." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"Although the country of Yan is biased to the northeast and is in a secondary strategic direction in terms of strategic location, the Qin State can completely not devote too much energy to this secondary strategic direction." Fan Zeng suggested. Regarding the issue of Yan Guo, Meng Yi sent a telegram to ask Shang Wen what he thought.

"The position of Yan Guo is indeed in a secondary strategic direction." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"But I've thought about it for a few days, and I think it's better to ask about the problem of Yan Kingdom, if you let it develop, then, what should Yan Kingdom do?" Shang Wen said.

"They may take desperate measures." Shang Wen said.

"In the face of such a large war of attrition, Yan's national strength is simply unbearable, if we let it develop, I'm afraid we will lose a market like Yan, but if we help a little, Yanguo may get through the difficulties, and at this time, they will accept our reforms in the economic field." Shang Wen said.

"You know, there are many such countries at present, their domestic taxes are very large, and the tax rate is quite large, such as more than 70% of the tax abounds, and the merchants of Yan have left the nationality of Yan and come to Qin. and sought refuge from the state of Qin. It seems that it is the strong attraction of the Qin State, in fact, the Qin State is losing an important market. Shang Wen said.

"If Qin doesn't care, it is to lose another market, from the perspective of Qin's unification, Qin has lost a step ahead, rather than this, it is better for Qin to take the initiative to find opportunities." Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. Maybe the prime minister is right. But the prime minister needs to consider the materials and manpower we use, you know, we don't have many troops. Fan Zeng reminded.

"Hmm. I've thought about that. In my opinion, Yan should withdraw its troops at present, and since it is troublesome to withdraw troops from land, it is better to withdraw troops from the sea. The Qin navy can do this. In addition, we can also look for the Korean royal navy, which is also a big force. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm." Fan Zeng nodded. This is the way out for Shang Wen's thinking. The problem of Yan in North Korea is actually a domestic economic problem, Yan Guo chose the wrong direction of development, Yan Guo chose the idea of foreign expansion in order to develop as soon as possible, such a way of thinking is originally very risky, if there is a failure, it will collapse and develop, and at present, the first thing to do is to let Yan Guo get out of the Korean war. Then, to get rid of the economic problems, Shang Wen's request was very simple, to completely open the market of Yan and reduce the tax rate of the market of Yan Kingdom. Lower to a vantage point.

In fact, Shang Wen had another plan, that is, to follow the Yan problem, and include the governments of Zhao, Korea, Yan, and Northern Wei into the low-tax trade agreement of Qin, so that in a certain area, the reduction of taxes can increase the trade volume on a large scale and promote the further development of the market. This is Shangwen's final purpose, after all, only the exchange of materials can further development. This is Shang Wen's initial idea, which has not yet been finalized, but Shang Wen has already sent a telegram to Meng Yi.

The state of Chu was a local border area close to the state of Wei.

"Is this boy also here to do business?" At this time, a middle-aged businessman saluted and said to the son.

"Yes, I want to go to the north to do some business and make some money, the first time." Negative whispered introduction.

"Oh. Childe was polite. When the middle-aged businessman heard the other party take the initiative to say that it was the first time he went, he knew that he was also a scholar who had just entered the business world, and many people from the scholar class had entered the merchant class. Mainly forced by the pressure of life.

"Little second Chen Shang." Chen Shang introduced.

"Do some business in Chu as well." Chen Shang introduced himself.

"Oh. Uncle Chen, I still want to ask more about some business matters. He saluted respectfully.

"Oh. Since they are all going to the north to do business, let's walk together. Chen Shang said.

"This goes to the north, and the nobles' checkpoints are the saddest. Especially when going to the end, those noble soldiers are the most difficult to deal with. Chen Shang said.

"Oh. Why is that?" Negative asked.

"Tax, if these nobles levy, they will get free benefits, and the more they collect, the more they collect, so all the nobles are collecting." Chen Shang said.

"If you don't give it, they will rob your goods to mortgage, and in the end, when you go to the north, you don't make money at all, many people are bankrupt like this, there is no way, we just smuggle, because we don't have to pay taxes. Taxes are too heavy. There is no way. Chen Shang said helplessly.

"In this way, I also have to smuggle, otherwise, I won't make much money." Said the negative.

"Hmm. It's already a tacit thing for everyone to do this. Therefore, the nobles chased us like mad dogs. If not, it's really miserable to kill us. Chen Shang said with a sad face.

"Isn't there anyone in charge of this matter?" Negative asked at this time.

"No, no one cares, who dares to care about such a thing?" Chen Shang said.

"Even the current Xiangguo Li Yuan is doing such a business, he is really a brute. Bah. Chen Shang said angrily. And spit on it. This made him feel a little unhappy, but in order to get Chen Shang's opinion, he still endured it.

"These officials and nobles are all in a gang, and he is the first to set up checkpoints to collect taxes, and his subordinates don't know how many merchants' goods have been robbed. They shipped to the north and made a profit. And we, but we don't even have the capital. If we go on like this, we're really finished. But no one gave us a head start. Chen Shang said.

"If there are scholars like you, I think we are all willing to support it. It's okay to take out all the money, as long as you kill this bullshit Sangkook. Degassing. Chen Shang said fiercely.

"One of my sons was killed by this beast, and I want revenge." Chen Shang said hysterically.

And Chen Shang's words hit the negative like a bolt of lightning. He has always wanted to launch a coup d'état to overthrow the king of Chu, and then establish himself as the king of Chu, but he has never had a reliable force to help him, he has been worried about this problem, funds, manpower, material resources, these things are not available, and no government is willing to help him at present, he is very confused.
