"The people of the Qin State can set up a bank, and your railway loan can also be solved, but the paper money of the Qin State must be used, otherwise, the bank will not be established." Zhang Liang said to Lou Jing.
"Is this the condition of the people of the Qin State?" Lou Jing asked.
"Yes." Zhang Liang nodded and said.
"It's not just the Qin people, if the South Korean side wants to join in, they have to do the same." Zhang Liang said.
"Hmm." Lou Jing nodded.
"I agree with you, with the financial support of the Qin State, we can solve a lot of problems." Lou Jing said.
"The specific terms are here, and as the guarantor of the mortgage, the Korean side has a lot of responsibility." Zhang Liang said.
"The operation of your railway must also be listed, that is, your shares can be traded, so that the people of Qin can continue to provide you with technical and financial support, otherwise, it will be difficult to build and operate the railway, which is a complex engineering system." Zhang Liang said.
"I understand that." Lou Jing said.
"Also, there is some news between countries, if you want to develop rapidly, it is best to take the initiative to reduce your tariffs, which will be of great benefit to your development." Zhang Liang persuaded him.
"Hmm. It's just, don't know why you want to do this? Lou Jing asked incomprehensibly.
"If the tariff is reduced, the logistics can be increased, so that more businessmen will join in, and if they want to buy and sell goods, they will have to rely on transportation, and the operation of the railway can be carried out, otherwise the construction of the railway will be in vain." Not of much practical use. Zhang Liang said.
"Hmm. I agree with that. Lou Jing said.
"As for the reduction of tariffs, I will convince my lord as soon as possible." Lou Jing said to Zhang Liang.
"Hmm. However, I still suggest that you join the trade tariff system of Qin, so that you can enjoy relevant tax incentives for importing Qin, Zhao, and our Korean goods. Zhang Liang said.
"Oh. In that case, I'll do it as soon as possible. Lou Jing said.
"Hmm." Zhang Liang nodded.
The Qi side had experience in this area, because they had to transport a large amount of sea salt to Wei and Korea to sell, and there were also some goods for maritime trade, and they also sold them in this way, so that they could get certain benefits from it. With such experience, Qi is naturally willing to reduce tariffs and promote the growth of trade. However, the situation in the state of Chu is not very good, the reason is that the aristocracy's operation has a strong monopoly meaning, and if the tariffs are reduced, it will cause great damage to their monopoly position, and they are unwilling to see such losses. At the same time, tariffs can also bring great benefits, and investing in an army with muskets can solve the problem.
The collection of taxes is the purchase and sale of roadblocks and robberies, low cost, high income, such a business, it is simply very cost-effective, for such a profit, the nobles are naturally unwilling to let go, and such a wanton increase in tax checkpoints naturally affects the trade between Chu and other countries.
"The Chu side is still unwilling to accept our plan." The Minister of Finance said to Zhang Liang worriedly.
"Hmm." Zhang Liang just nodded.
"The situation in the state of Chu itself is more complicated than we thought." Zhang Liang said to the Minister of Finance.
"The greed of the nobles of the Chu State has exceeded our expectations, and the commercial value we can give them cannot make them give up what they have already coveted." Zhang Liang said to the Minister of Finance.
"It's just that I don't know what kind of way the people of the Qin State will have to solve this problem." Zhang Liang said.
"Forget it. This is a matter for the people of Qin, so we don't have to care about it. We can just pay attention to the current trend of Qi country. Zhang Liang said to the Minister of Finance.
North of the Yangtze River in the state of Chu, beside a large road leading to the state of Wei.
A skinny teenager ran quickly to the back of a dirt slope.
"What's the situation?" A middle-aged businessman asked anxiously.
"Regarding the card, the nobles do not have many troops." The teenager reported.
"Do you see clearly?" The middle-aged businessman asked again.
"See clearly. It's very good-looking. There are not many people, they are all lazy. The teenager reported.
"Hmm." The middle-aged businessman nodded.
"Shopkeeper, shall we go?" An old farmer next to him asked, carrying his burden.
"Wait." The middle-aged businessman stopped.
"You go and see if there's anything new. Just go. The middle-aged businessman said cautiously.
"Yes." The boy hurried away, and went to investigate the situation ahead.
"Damn, lost again." A noble soldier called out dissatisfied.
"Haha. I won again. Another noble soldier shouted excitedly.
"Go, go." The soldier who had lost the money stood up dissatisfied.
"Whoa." At this moment, the boy who came to investigate came running.
"Stop." The soldier who lost the money shouted to the teenager in dissatisfaction.
"What are you running?" The soldier asked.
"Well, I'm here to see my father." The boy lied.
"What's so nice about your father, I've been on several trips. Just because of you, a little rabbit cub, let Lao Tzu lose money, lose money. "The soldier blamed the other party for his anger about losing money, and then kept beating the other party.
"Ahh Stop hitting me. Stop hitting me. The boy was beaten for no reason, and it was too much for him to bear.
"You unfortunate boy, I'll kill you." With that, the soldier stepped forward and kept beating the other man.
"Alright. Come on. "Saying that, the other soldiers came over and stopped each other, don't really kill the other party.
"It's a fate." The boy shouted loudly.
"Circle you, dream." The soldier must have killed the other party to let out this evil breath.
"Stop fighting." Everyone around him was trying to persuade him, but the soldier just wouldn't listen.
"I have a message, important news." At this moment, the boy shouted loudly.
"Alright." Hearing important news from the teenager, one of the soldiers pushed away the angry soldier who had lost money.
"What's the important news?" A veteran asked.
"Yes, there's a caravan coming quietly." The boy said in fear.
"What you said is true?" The veteran asked solemnly.
"Yes. It's true, it's nearby, just behind the dirt slope over there. The boy said.
"If not, I'll kill you." Veterans threatened.
"What I said is absolutely true, true." The boy said.
"I swear, I swear." The boy said.
"It's over there, and you'll be able to see it when you go over." The boy said.
