2368 Sense of Oppression

"The people of the Qin State don't let these Goguryeo people leave, but I don't see it either, how much money do we make in this area?" Prince Dan stood outside the large camp where the Goguryeo people gathered, looked at it with a telescope and asked.

"Prince, actually, we have made some, but all we earn are some merchants' taxes and fees, and only a small part of this part is made." Just then, a skinny official stepped forward to explain. He is Xiangping Ling's name is He Ping, a skinny local, because many people in Xiangping Ling are unwilling to be, and most of the Yan people here have run out. So they met a small local merchant who sold paper, timber, hides, ginseng, whatever he wanted. is such a person who became a Xiangping order.

"Oh?" Prince Dan looked at He Ping with interest.

"Prince, I saw that those Zhao people kept coming in and recruiting a large number of Goguryeo people from here, so I levied some taxes on them. In addition, there is a certain amount of land lease fees, mainly for those Goguryeo people, as well as Zhao people, of course. There are also some Wei people, and at the same time, there are other things. He Ping said. There aren't many people left in Xiangping. And he doesn't have so much money to hire those people, the only way is to find a way to make some money, and He Ping, who has resold everything, is too economically minded. He does everything. It would have been too simple for him to do such a thing.

"Oh. What else can you do? At this time, Prince Dan asked.

"Well, open a mine, but it takes money, and there's a lot of land in the north, and there's a lot of land over there, and there's a lot of land over there, but that's okay, I think we can encourage them to occupy it, and we just need to collect a certain amount of land tax. Anyway, no one wants any of those lands. He Ping continued.

"Land?" Prince Dan has seen the north.

"Yes, there is a lot of land over there, and the Qin people have hoarded a lot of materials here, especially Guzhu, which has a lot of materials, and there are trains and railways that have been repaired here, and the materials come quickly. We used to sell materials to the Goguryeo people, and now we can sell these materials to those natives and exchange them for land, and with land, it is also valuable to sell land. Mining is also possible, and Zhao Guoren has already planned to open a mine here. But they certainly don't mine too much. We can do that. There is a large amount of explosives in the arsenal, and these explosives are sold for money. He Ping began to calculate a little bit. He's been eyeing those supplies for a long time. To be honest, the Goguryeo people only consumed some general military supplies, such as blankets, food, and other daily necessities, but for arms, they really didn't consume much. And the Qin side was reluctant to ship it back, and they wanted to sell it on the spot. Thus, the arms business became a potential business.

"You write a report. I'm interested. Prince Dan said. Then I went somewhere else.

Ministry of Defense of the State of Qin.

"The king has approved it. For the police force, it is needed everywhere. I think it won't be long before it can be established in the area controlled by the Yueshi people. Wei Yu said to Meng Tian.

"Hmm. I noticed a strange phenomenon in the Yueshi area. Meng Tian said.

"The Tocharians tried to negotiate with us, but we refused." Meng Tian said to Wei Yu.

"Oh. I knew about it, because the local commanders believed that the Tocharians had no sincerity in negotiating, and that they refused to lay down their arms and to search their bodies. The Tocharians were always like that. However, I personally believe that the Tocharians still had intentions, as for what were their intentions? We don't know yet, but I think soon, we'll understand. Wei Yu said.

"Hmm. Judging by the current situation, our military forces in the Yueshi region do not have an advantage. The Tocharians negotiated at this time, which may have been beneficial to them. Meng Tian analyzed.

"The most troublesome thing is such an enemy, and they also have the patience to fight us, I really don't know what kind of enemy this is." Wei Yu nodded in agreement.

"We should remind Wang Ben to pay attention to it and not to make too agitated military actions, which will not be good for us. We should hold it off steadily, and it will be in our best interest. Meng Tian said.

Wei Yu just nodded.

Qi Binhai District. On the Tayoko Mansion.

"General, the Chu side is aggressively expanding its navy. They are expanding their navy against a large number of pirates, and if they do, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us. We have no naval strength at all, there are not many warships, and military training is far inferior to Chu, not only inferior to Chu, but also the South Korean Navy, I heard that South Korea is building a new Jimo recently, and the main function of New Jimo is not only a large city with a population of one million, but also an important role is an important base of the South Korean Navy, so that our coastline is as if it is undefended. A major general officer worriedly approached Tian Heng and asked to solve the matter.

"I know all these things." Tian Heng said to the major general.

"But don't forget that we don't have the money to do these things. The people of Chu can get enough money from the people of Qin, because they can go into debt, but we can't do it, we can't borrow money, not only these, but the investment is not as good as the Koreans, the Koreans build a million city population, they can build railways, but we can't do that. In this way, we have a great sense of oppression. We need a lot of money to do this, but Qi doesn't have the money at the moment. Tian Heng said in embarrassment.

"I've tried a lot of people to figure it out, but there's no way around it. The Goguryeo people promised to give us some adjustment fees, but the mediation fees were not much at all, which was about 500,000 gold when converted into Qin state banknotes, which was not enough for us to build a navy. Tian Heng said.

"General, just like that, we have to think of a way, otherwise, when the Chu State and the South Korean Navy rush over, it will be too late. It's really not good, we can develop others. It's also okay to go to the Qin State to find funds. The Major General suggested. In his opinion, the establishment of the Chu navy, as well as the expansion, were all facilitated by the Qin state. Without the support of the Qin State, the Chu State would not have been able to do this at all, and in the same way, the Qi State would have been able to do this.
