"These Koreans are really troublesome." Huang Jian looked worriedly at the Mengla people who were surrounded outside. This made him very worried about their Chu trade zone, which the Monglans had captured for the Koreans, and although the losses seemed to be large, the actual losses were very small. And he heard that the Mengla people also cut off a head of the Koreans, he didn't know who, but what he did know was that at present, their Chu State must also be ready to fight.

"We have a small number of troops, and now those damned Menlas are all gone. This situation is very unfavorable to us, whether we go to the place where there is a telegram and send a telegram to the country, so that they can send troops as soon as possible, you know, our situation is very bad. The captain of the musketeers said worriedly.

"It's okay to gather some musketeers from nearby. Or merchant ships, those damn merchants can hide, but what do we do? The captain of the musketeers asked Huang Jian anxiously.

"I don't know." Huang Jian said angrily.

"Looking at these dense Mengla, I am also very annoyed, but, there are so many people, what should we do." Huang Jian also said helplessly.

"If not, everyone is ready to retreat. In addition, we still have to ask for reinforcements, we are all merchants, not soldiers, and noble lords, these things are all noble affairs, when did we let these merchants come here to act as pioneers. Damn it, those government officials should be damned. Huang Jian scolded.

Wuyue area.

Chen Ping is inspecting the economic situation here, and most importantly, he wants to choose an important place to build the leading city in the Wuyue region, and Chen Ping has already come up with the name of this city. Haicheng.

That is to say, the establishment of Haicheng must be close to the place where there is a sea, and at the same time, Haicheng must have a certain function of inland trade, mainly taking advantage of the favorable position of the Yangtze River water system, however, the location of Haicheng Chen Ping has a preliminary idea, that is, relying on the favorable location of the shipyard of Chu State to build.

Because Chen Ping found a lot of interesting things. It is necessary that although the Wuyue Shipyard is built on a barren seaside, there are already a large number of residential areas nearby, and these residents come from the shipyard's shipwrights. The Wuyue shipyard has created a replica of a small Korean arrow ship, and for the first time, a lot of traditional craftsmanship has been used on board, and bold innovations have been made.

For example, copper-clad technology is used, and copper-coated wooden beams are used in some key areas, which is more robust and durable. And it is corrosion-resistant. On the hull, the paint on the traditional craft of the Chu State is used, and the humid climate makes the paint development of the Chu State more advanced, and in this regard, the Korean side is far inferior to the Chu side.

And in the Wuyue area, there are more silk processing workshops. They can produce a large number of silkworms in large quantities. These are great exports, which stimulated the silk industry in the Wuyue area. And the paint came here in the Changsha area of the Yangtze River. At the same time, the paint also comes from this area, in addition to the large amount of copper in the Jiujiang area. All these have stimulated the economic development of the Chu State to varying degrees.

"Sea City. It must be established here, based on the shipbuilding industry, and then develop maritime trade, which greatly stimulates the development of the local economy, which has a great supporting role in the development of Wu Yue and the development of Wu Yue economy in the Chu State. Chen Ping said to himself.

For the idea of Haicheng construction, Chen Ping has sent Fan Zeng a detailed report. In the report, Chen Ping believes that the development of shipbuilding and maritime trade plays a crucial role in the development of the region. And trade can greatly stimulate the economic development of the region, and the water transportation and shipping here are extremely developed, and all kinds of resources can be transported by sea and water transportation, and the materials are very convenient.

At the same time, South Korea's development of Jiaozhou Qingcheng has also a great reference for the development of Haicheng in Chu, Qingcheng and Haicheng have also greatly stimulated the local economic development through the development of shipbuilding industry. Moreover, there are no large-scale railway projects in both places, in contrast, Haicheng has more advantages, because there is a Yangtze River behind him, and along the Yangtze River, various economic advantages along the Yangtze River have developed. And provide a huge amount of material support. For example, copper mines, as well as various non-ferrous metal ores and so on. These are all things that South Korea's Qingcheng does not have.

Chu State, Pengcheng.

Chen thinks that such an idea is very good. It's just that the cost of investment is relatively large at the beginning, and it is unlikely that the aristocracy will support us in doing so. Fan Zeng said worriedly to the King of Chu.

"Hmm." He just looked at the report vigorously, and he agreed with Chen Pinghaicheng's proposal, and believed that it was very necessary for the Chu State to build a brand new city to make a huge example for the Chu State. However, on the financial dilemma. It's very difficult.

Because of the parliament, the aristocracy controlled the parliament, and the parliament had the right to deprive Fan Zeng of his request for appropriation. In this way, Fan Zeng has to fight in the parliament for a long time.

"It would be nice to be able to start a war." Suddenly, he said.

"No, Your Majesty. If a war is launched, it will greatly drain the current financial revenue of the Chu State, which is currently entering less and spending more, and the bonds issued are enough. Fan Zeng said worriedly.

"If you don't do that, you won't have the funds to develop Haicheng. This is how the widow thinks. He said.

"The Qin State also relied on the stimulation of war to develop its own city construction before. Same path. The same is true for South Korea, the reason why Qingcheng was able to develop, the war in Liaodong is also the main reason. And for Haicheng of Chu State, it is an important opportunity, I think, you should understand what I mean, at present, what we need is this. He said.

"Think about it, although we declared war on Bangladesh, but at the beginning, it was the businessmen who participated in the battle and reaped the benefits, on the contrary, we Chu soldiers and government officials did nothing. In this way, wouldn't we, the government of Chu State, sit back and wait for everything to develop? He said with a wave of his arms.

When Fan Zeng heard this, he felt very ashamed, there was no way, if Fan Zeng wanted to do something, he would need a lot of funds, but the allocation of funds had been limited to the parliament. Fan Zeng was suppressed by the parliament for any move, which made it very difficult for him to be the prime minister, and Fan Zeng felt that such a parliamentary system had too much influence on the Chu State. He felt that this prime minister was too aggrieved.

"If we can start a war, relying on the stimulus of war, for example, a large amount of military supplies is needed, the assembly of troops, these can be completed in Haicheng, in addition, the manufacture of military weapons can be placed in Haicheng, and all kinds of resources can be mobilized through transportation in the interior. However, if we can't complete the war, we in Chu will do nothing. Said solemnly.

"For the Menglans, we must have a large-scale operation, a foreign war, an overseas war, which can bring us greater military benefits. and fiscal revenues, this part. It was also an effective way to get rid of the financial control of the aristocracy. He said to Fan Zeng.

Hearing this, Fan Zeng suddenly had an idea, the income from the war is a kind of income, because this income is overseas, the control is very weak, and the noble council cannot control it, so it gives the Chu government a chance to breathe, because it can directly bypass the parliament to control this part of the funds, and then solve the Chu government's financial revenue. It's a good idea.

Regarding the demand for war, Fan Zeng believes that it is necessary to wait, but it can be actively prepared, after all, war is not a joke.

Zhao Guo, Handan. Stock market.

"Take a look. It's going up, and I said, you have to buy, you have to buy. What do you think! "Inside the stock market. There are still a lot of people, and the previous gloomy and bleak appearance is different, this time many people are very anxious, or rather, many of them hesitate, on the one hand, the stock price is rising, but the rise is not very large, overall, it is still below the issue price, but it has exceeded the lowest point of six gold. This is where they are tempted.

But thinking of the crazy fall before, many people are still worried that the rise is not strong enough, or they just bought it, and then it fell. Because that's how the market changes.

It rose in the morning and fell in the afternoon at the close, and many people were already disgusted. But they are still looking forward to it, and there are still many people who are bold enough to buy and wait and see.

Inside Levin's temporary office.

"Buy. Buy at all costs, we are going to eat 780,000 shares. Li Wen said impatiently to his assistant. In Li Wen's view, the market is in a state of absorbing chips, and the rise in the morning is due to too many purchases. In the afternoon, there will be special suppression, and with special suppression, it will be easier to eat a large number of stocks the next day. He is very aware of this kind of trick, such a trick comes from the Qin State market, Li Wen knows the next step and the intention, so he decided to eat a large number of stocks, or he has absolute confidence to be bullish on the prospect of the rise of the Zhao State stock market.

Prime Minister Li Mucheng's Mansion.

"Orders, orders, we have orders, but production should not be enough to meet such a huge order demand. The main thing is that the shipping aspect is not good enough. If only spring had come earlier. Li Mu looked at the report in his hand and said worriedly. Because large-scale engineering construction can be carried out after spring, such engineering construction is a huge good news for Zhao, which can definitely stimulate the strong development of Zhao's economy, because all countries have such needs.
