"This." Shang Wen himself didn't know what to say.

Qin State, stock market.

"What's going on with this stock today, copper stocks are going up too badly. You see, the broader market has fallen a lot, and the markets around the stocks have fallen. But copper stocks are rising, which is elusive. One investor looked at the market and said.

"Well, there are other stocks, such as electrical stocks. They're also going up, and I really don't know what's going on, it's going up like this. "A lot of investors are interested in the stocks of Qinguo, which have risen alone, because it is a big surprise to people, and it makes them feel that they don't understand how to explain this phenomenon.

"I know, I know." That's when a young man who reported the grapevine came in.

"It's the Sabbatical Country, the news from the Sabbator Country, the Sabbator has agreed to our request, they are going to build several cables, in addition to a lot of electrical equipment to buy, this business can bring a lot of profit, it is definitely an absolutely big business. Therefore, copper stocks will rise, mainly because motors and cables need a lot of copper. The young man said.

"Oh my God." Only then did everyone understand that there was an anomaly in the stock market.

Far away in Xinzheng, South Korea, Li Wen also noticed this incident, he looked at the newspaper in his hand, and then drew some lines, these lines can clearly draw the specific trend.

"There is something abnormal in Qin's stock market." Li Wen looked at the piece of paper in his hand and said. Lee Wen continues to short the South Korean stock market, which has become an established fact, and he can make a lot of money just by holding it, and now he has earned it. But here's the thing. What's next for speculation? Li Wen is not sure yet, he needs to investigate the market, however, what happened in the stock market of Qin State has made him feel some abnormalities, especially copper stocks, this kind of rise is definitely not an accidental situation, there must be an inexplicable force behind this. Levine decided to give it a try.

Zhao Guo, Handan.

"Prime Minister, good news. In the last quarter, the number of artillery exported by our artillery factories has increased dramatically, and not only that, but also the number of orders is very large. Li Zuoche said with the report in his hand.

"Tell me about it." Li Mu took the pen and wrote something on the report, he is very busy now, many places in Zhao are on the right track, and there are many countries to cooperate, such as with South Korea, the Koreans have provided Zhao Guo has always wanted the fire cap technology, with the fire cap technology, their muskets can rise to another state, the arsenal has developed a fire cap gun that uses a fire cap, in this way, the accuracy of shooting will be greatly improved, as for the fixed gun ammunition, some are also manufactured, not mechanical manufacturing, just simple manual manufacturing. The effect is not enough. As for South Korea, Zhao Guo used their advantages in steel technology to help South Korea establish a number of steel enterprises, but South Korea has fewer resources, and they have been exploring steel production. Zhao Guo can only help them as much as possible.

"The object of our artillery exports is mainly South Korea, the South Korean Navy is developing rapidly, in addition to a large number of armed merchant ships are also actively developing, so, the demand for artillery is very large, in addition, Chu, Chu has become the second artillery export country, I don't know what reason, their navy is also actively developing, before their development was very slow, it seems, there is no way to push it, but recently, their order is very large, often to buy a thousand guns in one go, but, Based on our experience, there is no large-scale war about to break out in the Chu State. Li Zuoche said.

"Huh. The governor, the governor is the feudal official, they can get a lot of freedom, as long as they pay a certain amount of taxes, they can get a large piece of land, who is not willing to do this, so, many nobles began to expand their navy crazily, before their navy did not develop, because there were not enough interests, now, things have developed to such a point, naturally they have to do a lot of things. Li Mu put down the pen in his hand and explained.

"Look, Qi and Yan will also look at the people of Chu, buy arms and weapons on a large scale, and they are also actively developing maritime trade, and this sea is not calm at all." Li Mu said.

"Hmm." Li Zuoche immediately understood. Qi and Yan have also expressed their willingness in this regard, but they still need to do a lot of things, such as solving financial problems to develop the navy, and he knows that the cost of the navy is very large. The cost of being able to support a naval force is definitely not something that ordinary countries can afford. If it fails, the situation will be very troublesome.

"So, how do we develop. Shall we also develop the Navy? Li Zuoche asked.

"This, I also want to, but the problem is that our Zhao State does not have an outlet to the sea, and the Qin State reached an agreement with the Yan State to get an outlet to the sea, but we can't do this, so we can't develop the navy for the time being, and the most important thing is that the development of the navy requires a lot of financial funds, and the current situation in Zhao has just improved, plus the tax cannot be expanded on a large scale, and the contradiction cannot be intensified, so we want to develop the navy, but we can't develop the navy." Li Mu said with great embarrassment.

"But we can also do some things, for example, we can work with the Koreans to do things in officer training, and in addition, we can develop other things. Like what. Aviation, naval aviation, the people of the Qin State have such a type of troops, we can develop technology, reserve it, and when we need it, we can develop it. Li Zuoche put forward his own opinion.

"Yes. Your idea is very good. We should have such a bold idea to do such a thing, I think, you also know what kind of situation Zhao Guo is in at the moment. We need a lot of technical reserves. Although it cannot expand the army on a large scale, it can greatly meet our needs in military technology, therefore, I think. We can do that. Li Mu said.

"What do you mean?" Li Zuoche asked.

"We should do some planning as early as possible, it doesn't cost much, but when we wait until we develop, we can't find the right talent, and the problem will be very big. So, let's learn more and start military cooperation with the Koreans, especially in the navy. Li Mu said.

"Yes, Prime Minister, I understand." Li Zuoche arranged.

Sinjeong, South Korea.

"An official letter from the Admiralty of the State of Qin. They want to build a naval base there, but we Koreans have already built a port of anchorage there. They meant to get us out of there. Han Sook looked at the written report of the South Korean Admiralty.

"What do you think about this?" Han Shu asked the Minister of the Navy.

"What we mean, Your Majesty, is to accept the fact that we can use some military ports, or lease some civilian ports, in short, we have the right to berth, but we can cooperate with each other. After all, the Qin people have a great advantage in military technology, and we are currently carrying out important technical cooperation with them. For example, welding technology, we have received some welding technical support, we can weld iron armor. If the ship is equipped with ironclad, we can make ironclad warships. The Secretary of the Navy said.

"You mean that the basis of our cooperation with the people of Qin is this naval base port in Liaonan Prefecture?" Han Shu asked.

"Yes, the people of Qin have a lot of technology, we need a chance to cooperate, besides, we don't need that port. It's just that we and the Goguryeo people will do that because the situation develops. The Secretary of the Navy said.

"Hmm. You're right, the people of Qin have too much military technology. These technologies are what we need the most, we can't waste them in vain, just follow your ideas, negotiate with the people of Qin, talk like this, we need technology, and the people of Qin can use it in exchange. I'm sure they'll make a choice. Han Shu put down the report in her hand.

Qi State, Tian Heng's General's Mansion.

"Military spending of the Navy." Tian Heng threw the report in his hand on the desk in annoyance. He felt very tired, or rather, a little helpless, he couldn't solve the problem.

"The general is worried about the navy's military expenses?" Lou Jing asked with a smile.

"Oh. Oh. It's Mr. Lou. Tian Heng politely beckoned Lou Jing to sit down.

"Yes, the Laizhou Navy, the Dengzhou Navy, the two naval fleets, the number of ships needed is very large, the number of people has exceeded 30,000, people are easy to solve, but this ship, it takes a lot of money, we are different from the Koreans, the Koreans have sea trade, they can rely on the outside of Bangladesh, or such a small country to support the finances, but our situation is different, we do not have such income, so, in this matter, our financial problems are still relatively large, I'm trying to figure out how to fix something like this. I don't know if Mr. Lou has a good way. Tian Heng asked Lou Jing.

"This. Maybe there's a way. Lou Jing said with a smile.

"Oh. Let's talk about it. Tian Heng asked curiously.

"The situation on the peninsula is very stalemate now, and we have no way to solve such a problem, and the economic situation of the tribes in the south of the peninsula is very bad, if it continues like this, the situation may be very unfavorable for us, but they provide us with a problem that we can't think of, that is, to the east of them, there are still some people who have fled there, we can go there to develop, get some population, and at the same time train the navy, if we can regulate the development of the situation on the peninsula, it is also a great credit." Lou Jing said.

"Well, the situation on the peninsula, I thought about it. That's right, it's just that it's more difficult to adjust. Tian Heng said.

"Nope. The general was a little too worried. Yan Guo has already expressed its willingness in this regard. They need a lot of labor to develop their gold mines, and at the same time they need more miners to dig iron ore, and the Yan people are developing like this, and now that they can do this, they are naturally willing to do such things. Lou Jing said.

"Well, but this matter still can't be a problem of naval military spending, we still need a lot of things to develop, although the shipyard is developing rapidly, we still can't have a large amount of military spending to solve such a problem. You're saying a good thing, but time. We don't have enough time. Tian Heng said.

"Huh. There is another thing, this incident just gave us a chance to train our troops. Another thing is about the military spending of the Navy. Lou Jing said.

"Let's talk about it." Tian Heng asked anxiously.

"Here's the thing, on our central and western border with Jiaozhou, I found that the Qin people were digging wells there." Lou Jing said.

"Dig a well, is the water there delicious?" Tian Heng asked.

"No, no, they're drilling oil wells. This oil is something that can produce kerosene and gasoline, this kind of thing, the Qin people demand it very much, and their output is only in the north and we have it, and it is estimated that there are places in Jiaozhou, but it takes some time and manpower, why don't we sell such things, in this way, we can solve a lot of problems. Lou Jing said.

"Oil?" Tian Heng asked.

"Yes, it's oil, it's in demand, we can sell it. Zhao state-owned coal mines, we can have oil, in this way, our financial and economic projects are very extensive. When I investigated before, I found this problem. This is the matter of digging a well, and this oil, like well water, can be used for a long time. Lou Jing said.

"This is simply a chance to make a fortune for nothing." Tian Heng thought for a while and said.

"You can organize people to dig right away, and then we can solve a lot of the financial problems. However, I thought about an idea before, and I don't know if it's very mature. Tian Heng thought about it and said.

"That's what I thought. Now that countries are exempting or reducing tax rates, how are their fiscal problems solved? Tian Heng asked.

"Later, I investigated and found that the Koreans relied on expansion to solve this problem, but how did they solve it before, and I later learned that it was bonds, and the Qin people also did this, they issued a large number of bonds, whether it was their Guanzhong government or the local government of the Western Regions, they issued a large number of bonds, and these bonds raised a lot of funds for them, and they only needed to use finance and taxation as collateral. I think since we can't solve these problems, we can also issue more bonds to solve our fiscal problems, but the question is, how to solve this method? In other words, who will buy our bonds, there are big problems with the development of various countries. This one. Will they be able to give us the financial funds? Tian Heng asked. I have to say that Tian Heng did think of the crux of the question, which made Lou Jing not know how to answer. But he knew that if this matter was solved, many problems could be solved very well.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to do, it needs the support of the banks of all countries, and if the banks don't buy our bonds, we can't do anything, so we have to do good enough in terms of credit. This also requires the support of banks, which our banks cannot buy such a large number of bonds. Lou Jing thought about it and said.

"Hmm. This matter still needs to be contacted by you. Only in this way can we solve our difficult problems, which are too much needed for the current military expenditure of the Navy. There are a lot of things that we can't solve yet. Tian Heng said.

Chu State, Pengcheng.

"Ships we have ordered. But it will take time to wait, the fastest three months to get the ship, the slower half a year later. However, many nobles went to order ships. Xiang Bo said.

"It's hard to do." Xiang Liang rubbed his hands and said. Obviously, he was a little anxious, and the Governor's order greatly stimulated the Xiang family. He thought it was a good opportunity for expansion, and besides, they still had a lot of naval power in their hands, but the navy needed a lot of ships, and without them, they couldn't do anything like that.

"I think we can go to Qingcheng to have a look, there may be ships there, the number of boats there is very large, and they are very fast, I think, we can give it a try." Xiang Bo said.

"Well, just give it a try. There's nothing we can do now. Xiang Liang said helplessly. However, the governor's decree suddenly stimulated the rapid development of the shipbuilding industry in the Chu State, and many merchants began to gather funds to invest in the shipbuilding industry, because the demand for shipbuilding was very large.

"Hahaha. That's great. Unexpectedly, the position of a governor suddenly stimulated the rapid development of our shipbuilding industry. Fan Zeng smiled and looked at the report in his hand.

"It's just that, Prime Minister, there are still many things we need to solve, such as skilled skilled workers, wood, iron beams, iron nails, if these raw materials cannot be solved, the problem is still relatively large." Chen Ping said.

"Yes. However, I saw reports that some factories had gone to Qingcheng in the north. They are actively cooperating with the shipyards in Qingcheng, in terms of technology, there should be no problem in terms of skilled workers, the most important thing is iron, we need too much iron. Fan Zeng said.

"In Danyang County, we found iron ore, but how to smelt, this technology still needs to carry out cooperation projects with Zhao Guo as soon as possible, and the demand for iron cannot be delayed for a day. You know. Fan Zeng said.

"This problem, Zhao Guo's technical talents have already come over. However, the financial problem is still relatively large, and the possibility of investment is relatively small, mainly because the investment is relatively large at the beginning, and only the long-term benefits can be seen. Chen Ping said embarrassedly. Industry is not a simple matter. The financial requirements behind this are very large. This may not be done all at once.
