For the news that Wei Yu brought back. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Shangwen accepted it all, and the Qin army once again issued conscription orders to a few nomadic tribes in most of the north, as well as the mountain people who lived in the mountains, which may also be a way for them to survive, after all, their lives were too poor. If you become a soldier, you can live a better life, and they can accept such a choice.

The territory of the Yue people outside the Western Regions of the Qin State. The Yueshi are still a half-tribal and half-state situation, their country was once a unified country, but it was relatively scattered, and the situation is still the same.

"What have you Yue people been doing lately? How did you gather so many troops? Meng Dong asked curiously. Meng Dong was a lieutenant in the Qin army, and his position was to be an observer of the Qin army, in fact, they came here to observe, and sometimes, they were also responsible for training some Yue's people in how to use firearms, and providing some reference in terms of tactics. In this way, they can see more things from the Yueshi people.

"Oh. It's a thing. We are gathering the forces that we can muster to attack the indigenous tribes of the south, as well as the cities. Wei Dou explained with a smile. Wei Dou is a nobleman of the Yue clan who Meng Dong made friends with after coming here, what his real name is, he doesn't know very well, because the other party's name is vague, but the other party is proud of learning Qin and being close to the Central Plains, so he also gave himself a Central Plains name, Wei Dou. Because Wei is a country in the Central Plains, this means that its name is very orthodox. And the bucket is a measuring instrument, and the meaning is very different, so he took such a name. And he is proud to speak the Qin dialect, and his tribe is also actively learning the Central Plains civilization. It also frees them from communication barriers.

"South?" Meng Dong was a little surprised. He did not know why he was attacking the South.

"Oh. Speaking of which, this is what your Qin army asked us to do, but you let us attack the Western Rest Country, but you also know our ability. Wei Dou said with a smile.

"We can't beat each other at all, and the other party's forces are strong, we can't attack them at all, and our Yue people are also finally in such a mountainous area, this area is what you call the Peacock Dynasty, but we accept your name for the Peacock Dynasty." Wei Dou said with a smile.

"Oh. So, you're going south to attack the Mauryan Empire? At this time, Meng Dong asked tentatively.

"Yes." Wei Dou nodded in acknowledgement.

"The purpose of this trip is to harass and rob, only in this way can we Yue's people survive." Wei Dou said to Meng Dong.

"We are no better than you Qin people." Wei Dou said.

"I admit that you Qin people are very powerful, and it is precisely because of this that we are willing to cooperate with you Qin people and have the firearms that you Qin people are good at, with these firearms, we can deal with the Peacock Dynasty in the south." Wei Dou said.

"Hmm." Meng Dong still doesn't know how the upper echelons of the Qin military think about it, after all, this place is relatively closed, and there are mountains everywhere, and it is precisely for this reason that the Yueshi people can settle here, because it is mountainous and inconvenient for the Mauryan Dynasty in the south to attack, plus the firearms purchased from the Qin State, this advantage is enough for them to maintain the current situation, but the survival of the Yueshi people is still a big problem.

In Meng Dong's opinion, the Yueshi people simply could not continue to survive in such an environment, because it was mountainous. The problem of food is a big problem, followed by the problem of population growth of the Yueshi people, although the Yueshi people can obtain some profits from some trade with the Qin State, and they maintain their trade with the Rest Country to allow them to survive, but it is not known what factors have made it difficult for them to trade with the Rest Country.

"Our trade with the Sabbath is no longer sustainable." Wei Dou said to Meng Dong.

"Why?" Meng Dong also wanted to know the specific reason.

"The reason is that the Sabbath country imposes heavy taxes on us, which is far beyond our means." Wei Dou said.

"Our profit margins have been squeezed a lot all of a sudden. There's nothing we can do about it. You know, we're in a bad situation. Hate these Sabbatarians, who are not on the dominant side in trade, and find ways to target us in terms of taxes, and not only that, but also rob our caravans, which we cannot sustain anymore. Wei Dou said.

"Why don't you attack them, such a thing was given to our Qin State, and it has already been started." Meng Dong said angrily.

"No, our Yue people are different from you Qin people, you Qin people can not be so angry, we can't do it." Wei Dou smiled and said helplessly.

"You Qin people let us do the slave trade, this may be the only way for our Yue people to survive." Wei Dou continued.

"Dealing with the people of the Western Sabbath country, we think we can't beat them, after all, our strength is not good, even with the help of the Qin people, the advantage of firearms, we can't undertake such a big combat mission, but against the Mauryan Dynasty in the south, I think there is still an advantage, after all, their forces are very weak. For us, it's very easy to fight, and they have a large population, which just makes up for the demographic advantage. Your Qin State also needs a large slave population, don't you? Wei Dou asked with a smile.

"Hmm. That's it. Meng Dong nodded in agreement.

"The state of Qin does need a large population. For example, there are many farms, pastures. "Meng Dong hasn't been back to Qin for a long time. He didn't know how much the Qin State had changed, and he thought that these people were mainly used for agriculture, and he didn't think much about the railways.

"Oh. I see. Wei Dou nodded at this time, he also wondered why the people of the Qin State needed so many slaves, it turned out to be an agricultural demand.

"I have a request, though." At this time, Meng Dong said.

"Oh. I don't know what kind of request Brother Meng has, as long as I can agree, I will definitely agree. Wei Dou said at this time.

"It's also very simple, I just want to go with you to see how you conquer the Mauryan Dynasty in the south." Meng Dong continued.

"Oh. That's a request. If you don't say it, I also hope to get the support of Brother Meng, because with you Brother Meng, my people can expand rapidly. I can't ask for it now, I can't ask for it. Wei Dou said happily.

"Good. I'll go with you. Meng Dong said with a smile.
