Yue's, the front, the second Yue's cavalry regiment, they received the task of training outside, and they were very disgusted with such a task, because they stayed in the camp well. They don't want to leave their camps.

In the temporary resting place of the Second Moon Cavalry Regiment, the soldiers were busy distributing food, and some of the soldiers were already lying down to rest. The chiefs were also leisurely reading their books. Everything seems to think that this is a leisurely outing, not a military operation.

"I really don't know what the above thinks, let us come here, what's so good about coming out, it's better to stay in the camp." A sergeant said as he lay on his bed. Next to him was a private, and he could do a lot of work. For example, things like eating.

"Sergeant, the battle is deadlocked now, and it's not bad for us to come out for a walk." Private said.

"I'm not coming out. There's everything in the camp, there's women, there's wine, there's endless things to do, and here, there's what's there, there's the earth, there's the sky, and there's a whole bunch of damn men, who knows what's crazy up there. It's really damn good. The sergeant said.

Because of the stalemate in the war, many military units have stagnated, the cavalry units need a broader space, and the artillery units need commanding heights, and the battle front simply cannot meet their needs, so the battle situation has become stalemate, and many people have become extremely relaxed. The Indians on the opposite side may be a little nervous, but they generally believe that the Yueshi will not attack. Because the situation is not good for anyone.

"Hey, up." Just then, a sergeant major came in and said.

"What's wrong. Head? What's going on? The sergeant said angrily to the sergeant major.

"Things have changed a bit. You go out first. The sergeant major looked at the private's order.

"Yes, Sergeant Major." The private left the place, the sergeant major said to the sergeant.

"We received a military order from above, we are going to be transferred to Ram, and this time it is a pretense to come out." The sergeant major said to the sergeant.

"What?" The sergeant was astonished to hear such news, he had no idea that it was a military order. No such order had ever been given before.

"It is true that many units have received such orders. After they came out to train this time, they didn't have to go back. Directly to Ram, there are still people stationed on the camp side, and new troops are coming in, and they are going to show the Indians. Sergeant Major said.

"Me. We are not ready for war, there. The sergeant said nervously.

"Don't worry, it's already arranged. I don't know exactly what happened, but when the order came today, I saw it. Their faces were full of seriousness, as if something big was about to happen. You get ready. The sergeant major finished and left. The sergeant felt very messy. This was a bit of a surprise, because many people thought that they would naturally get nervous before the battle, but this time it was very different. Coldly came.

In the Yue's front-line barracks, everything is very normal, because the troops drawn by the Yue's people are all sporadically drawn. Then some new military units entered, and it seemed that the number was not small, but they were hiding, but the number was still the same, and many people did not notice such a thing.

This is Meng Ping's strategy. Draw troops out of here little by little, and then add some new recruits, so that it seems that there is no change in numbers, and the Indians cannot perceive these changes, so that those combat troops can leave. By the time Ram strikes, it's too late.

In the territory of Dawan Kingdom, at the end of the Dawan Railway, there are a large number of Indian prisoners of war in front of the railway, the local police, militia, and hired Huns, they beat them with leather whips, sticks, gun butts, and bayonets every day to work, and they are divided into three shifts. Alternate construction of the railway. It was this frenzied construction of railways that has led to the deaths of more than 100,000 people. Most of them were exhausted and tortured, and many died because they couldn't adapt to being here, they were thrown into the wilderness at will, and then they were eaten by wolves.

"There is no railway ahead. We had to go in horse-drawn carriages, but fortunately, the roads were not bad. Dawan Finance Minister explained to Fan Dou. This is a very big banker, in the eyes of Dawan's Minister of Finance, because most of Dawan's financial expenditures are done by the Qin State Bank, without them, it is difficult to complete.

"Hmm. However, we can still withstand this kind of fatigue. Fan Dou said.

"I want to know what the Qin State can get from the State of Rest." Fan Dou asked after getting into a carriage.

"Hmm. Land, I suppose, is the only thing the Sabbatarians can give, and at the moment they do not have plenty of gold. They had only land, prisoners of war, slaves. Only these, and others are simply not enough collateral to get a large loan. The Minister of Finance said.

"Land is not valuable. You know. Fan Dou frowned and said.

"Yes, that's what I thought, too, but the rest can only provide such things, and they can't take anything else." said the Minister of Finance.

"It's the rest of the resources, and we don't know what they're going to have." said the Minister of Finance.

"They need a lot of things, we simply can't meet their demands, and I think you know very well that they are at war, and a lot of resources are concentrated in the war, and they need more weapons and ammunition. This is a significant military expense. They had to. The Minister of Finance said.

"However, our Qinguo Bank is not able to come up with such a lot of money at once, although such a transaction is very cost-effective, but, in my opinion, their situation is really not good, they can only give us some cheap land, but these land is not worth anything at all. A good solution had to be found. Fan Dou said.

"But except for the land. Rest is nothing. The finance minister said to Fan Dou.

"Well, well, we can only take one step at a time. We need to see what the attitude of the Sabbath is. Fan Dou said.

"Okay. Mr. Fan, but I don't think the Sabbatarians should provoke them for the time being, after all, they are a bunch of mad dogs, and who knows what kind of things they will do? We still have a lot of things to do at the moment, such as our security issues, our Ministry of Defense is very worried that the Sabbatarians will suddenly attack us, we only have three infantry divisions, and they are all recruit units, and they will have a lot of confusion. In order to avoid such a situation, we still hope that the Qin State will send more troops to us. The Minister of Finance said.

"Well, I can't help you in this matter, mobilize the army, this requires the order of King Qin. At present, the Qin army is in the process of adjustment, and I think that the staff will consider this matter. Our Ministry of Defense may already have a plan, don't rush. All right? Fan Dou could only comfort the other party.

"Okay. This is the best outcome. The Minister of Finance said.

Zhao Guo, Handan. Li Mu's Prime Minister's Mansion.

"How's it going these days?" Li Mu asked solemnly.

"Situation, situation." Li Zuoche looked at Li Mu.

"Say, what the hell is going on?" Li Mu asked. The situation has become a little unfavorable for Zhao Guo. The parliament was besieged by demonstrators, many of whom were unable to get out of it, and they first had to explain the reasons for Li Mu's impeachment and blame them for not paying their taxes. Some of the councillors were also attacked with eggs and stones, and they could not leave the house at all, so they had no choice but to live in the house, which made the councillors feel very angry.

"Well, the MPs can't leave the House, the House of Commons is fine, but, the House of Lords, those noble MPs are still under attack." Li Zuoche said.

"They are considering whether to use the military to forcibly evict them." Li Zuoche said.

"No, you must not do this, this will only make the situation rise further, and the situation will finally stabilize for Zhao State. Zhao Guo must not be messed up. Absolute. No," Li Mu said, shaking his head.

"But, Prime Minister, there have been some strikes in the vicinity." Li Zuoche said helplessly. For such a message. Li Zuoche didn't want to tell Li Mu, but now he had to do it. As the incident escalated, some workers began to feel that something was wrong. First of all, there is a big problem with the treatment of workers, their work is very heavy and dangerous, for example, the workers of Handan Iron and Steel Plant, the molten steel is very dangerous, and there have been several deaths, but they are still not taken seriously, and their compensation is very small. There is no way to support a family, and many children go to work before they are 10 years old. They work more than twelve hours a day. Labor intensity, low salary, plus the problem of education costs.

Faced with the fact that the aristocracy, which had a lot of resources, did not pay taxes, they enjoyed great treatment, and the workers began to get involved, and some factories had already gone on strike, and with the time of retirement, the strike wave could rise again.

"How can this be? Why is such a thing only being told to me now? "Hear here. Li Mu felt very annoyed, he felt that Li Zuoche did it on purpose.

"No, Prime Minister, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but that such things can't be solved, and many things are beyond our capabilities. For example, this time, the workers are reluctant to strike, but their pay is too low, and with such a thing, there is a serious shortage of financial resources, and there is only one way to solve all the problems. Li Zuoche said.

"What's the solution?" Li Mu asked.

"There is still a great deal of disagreement on how to increase the financial funds, the nobility is not willing to pay taxes, they have too many and so many resources. On the other hand, the treatment of workers must be improved. This is a sum of money, and it will eventually go back to the factories in the hands of the nobles, and they are the pillars of Zhao's economy, and once there is a problem, their situation will be very bad. I think the only way. It can only be a compromise and change some of the current situation. Li Zuoche said.

"Well, you're right, but how to increase, the nobles won't raise taxes, I know them too well." Li Mu said.

In Guo Kai's private office, Guo Kai smiled proudly.

"Finally the strike. It's time for something like that to be upgraded. In my opinion, the only way is to expand, or mortgage, and issue more bonds to make the economy grow. Guo Kai said. He had several private meetings with the presidents of the Wenyang Bank and the Handan branch of Qinguo, and they all expressed their willingness to see Guo Kai as the new prime minister. Because they believe that they have such ability, but if Guo Kai wants to take the position of prime minister, he must solve the problem of financial funds, Zhao Guo needs a lot of infrastructure, in addition to a lot of education expenses, these are all problems that Guo Kai must solve. Without funds, he will not be able to move an inch. But the banks are willing to provide such loans, as long as they pledge more bonds, but they have a small requirement, which is to use a large number of gold coins, instead of paper money, although paper money can bring great convenience, but gold coins can have a lot of dominance, and they demand to be able to issue such gold coins, so that they can have autonomy, and a lot of business can participate in it.

Guo Kai, who was well versed in speculation, quickly understood the bankers' minds, this was a strategy that could poison Zhao Guo, but it would take some time. Guo Kai couldn't convince the nobles to agree to such a thing for the time being, because the nobles had not yet been cornered.

Zhao Guo, House of Lords.

"Damn poor, I'm going to eat their flesh." An obese aristocratic parliamentarian ate his roast chicken, which had become a delicacy, and as the grain increased, some farmers began to raise chickens on a large scale. Chicken can also be served on a large scale, and they can eat a lot of delicious food, chicken is one of them, and fried chicken is also possible, because the oil is cheaper.

"Those damn foods are going to make you fatter." A lawmaker said.

"I do. I'd like to eat such food, they're delicious, but I'm now more willing to eat the flesh of the damned poor, they stink to death. But they've trapped us here, and I have a beautiful concubine, damn it. The noble councillor scolded.

"Okay. But we need to solve something like this, and today I heard the news that one of our arsenals has stopped working. They were able to cast a dozen cannons a day. Now the Qi people need more cannons to install on their warships, but we can't do that. It's really damn good. A congressman involved in the military industry said helplessly.

"Oh. Damn, if one factory strikes, other factories will soon go on strike, and the situation will get out of control. Some lawmakers stood up in panic and said.

"Therefore, the matter must be resolved as soon as possible, if the situation continues to be so chaotic, it is not good for anyone, we don't want to see those factories shut down, stop working for a day, our losses will exceed tens of thousands and a half taels, but if the loss is more, the situation will be very unfavorable to us. We're in a very bad situation. Not good. Other lawmakers said.

"However, we have no way to make us pay taxes, why, why do we have to pay taxes, is it because we have more money? Just because we have a lot of money, let's pay more taxes, what kind of logic is this, I think it's robber logic, those poor people, they can't do it themselves, but let us do such a thing, this is robbery, they are robbing our money. The fried chicken lawmaker stood up indignantly and said. When he was excited, he grabbed the fried chicken leg in his hand and threw it on the table, and many councilors saw such a rude move. They shook their heads.

"But there's nothing we can do about it? We simply cannot solve such a solution other than to increase financial resources. A middle-aged congressman shook his head.

"I think of a person, maybe Mr. Guo Kai can properly solve such a problem, he is a banker, but also an investor, he has a sharp mind, he can solve a lot of problems." A councillor proposed.

"Who knows what this opportunist will come up with." The parliamentarians said. But the scene was very deserted. Because they really don't have a good way to solve such a problem at present, the only way can only be for Guo Kai to solve such a problem.

"Well, I'll admit, we should probably let him out and solve this problem." A councillor proposed. This is their last resort.

Delegation of Qi State. The hotel where you stayed.

"There has been a strike to stop production at an artillery foundry, and the situation may be very unfavorable for us." A major said to the major general of the delegation. They came here to order a large number of artillery. At the same time, they also need to order some military iron beams, as well as various military materials, if needed, they still hope to be able to introduce advanced technology to produce.

"In that case, our order may not be produced, and we will have to wait longer." The Major General said with a frown.

"Yes, sir, that's probably it." The Major nodded.

"No, no, we can't wait. We can't wait, we need to do something to, you know, I think you should understand what I think. The major general said.

"Qi State can't wait, just can't place an order, we also have to cooperate with them, we can produce it ourselves, it's really not possible, we can go to South Korea, go to Qin, but we just can't wait, we must master the technology of producing artillery. That's it. The major general waved his arm and decided. The development of the navy needs a large number of artillery, and a warship needs more than 100 guns, and the number of artillery pieces is very large, and they simply cannot meet such a large demand, because more than 100 guns are already a military-scale operation. But the Navy needs more artillery. There are too many of them. This forced them to introduce advanced technologies for the production of artillery.
