In fact, Liu Ji still wants to enter the stock market, perhaps because he made so much money at once when he entered the stock market for the first time, Liu Ji's adventurous spirit was stimulated, however, because of Lu Pheasant's inherent woman risk aversion factor, Lu Pheasant still decided to invest in other industries, after all, this line is too risky.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"You're right, whether it's the development of the North or the Western Regions, it takes a lot of labor, and we must take care of the worries of these soldiers, otherwise they won't be able to fight at all. And our military reform will not be able to continue. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi. For the report submitted by the Department of Defense as well as the Department of the Army. Meng Yi's view is that first of all, the Xiongnu and mountain people in the north should be absorbed, and then they should be educated and classified to achieve the purpose of assimilation, and only in this way can the problem of the Qin state in the north be solved. In turn, it provided a large number of sufficient labor for the development of the north of the Qin State.

"In addition, the industry in the Western Regions is also under construction, and we also need to classify the people of the Western Regions and take certain measures against them, mainly to change their slave status. As for the large amount of labor required for agriculture, the use of Indians for substitution, but in this case, a large number of Indians will be needed, and this demand will exceed our expectations. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"I know this, but I don't know how many prisoners of war the Yueshi can provide to us, it depends on their certainty of victory. But we have to be aware of the affairs of the north first, and then we can solve their affairs, otherwise we will not be able to keep busy. Shang Wen said.

State of Qin. Northern steppes. Nanmo Town. Because this is an important transportation hub to the Mobei Railway, many trains need to stop here, add water, and add coal. Most importantly. This is the dividing line between the Eastern and Simon states of Qin, and interestingly, this town is not under the administration of one of the two state governments, but by the two states together, because of the construction of the railway. The two states are at loggerheads, because both states know the significance of the railroad. However, the Qin government adopted what both sides considered reasonable, and that was joint management. And the construction of multi-feeder railways was adopted to balance the development of the two states.

Both states are pastoral states, that is. Both states have large numbers of pastures, but Simon is not faring well. The situation of Eastern Mongolia is better than that of Simon in terms of livestock development. But Simon is much higher than East Mongol in terms of mineral extraction. Simon's economic situation is better than that of East Mongol. The backward state of Dongmeng decided to take measures to surpass Simon, and the first thing they thought of was the extraction of a large amount of mineral resources.

In order for both states to have a good development. The town of Nanmo became a place for the two sides to sit down and talk. Parliamentarians came here to talk. Governors sometimes sit down with each other over tea and talk.

Bi-state exchange meeting.

"The location of East and West Mongolia is too far north. The winter is cold and not suitable for human habitation at all. There were people who came here before. Now, the population of the two states, in general, is constantly flowing out. Combined, the two states have less than 800,000 people, which is a dangerous number. A member of the Simon State parliament said worriedly. If you want to develop East and West Mongolia. The population problem must be properly solved, but in recent years, the population of East and West Mongolia has been flowing out, and a large number of tribal people, as well as those recruited from the miners, are increasing, and some people who have migrated back to Guanzhong in the south see that there are many opportunities for development. Due to the slow economic development of East and West Mongolia, the number of people moving in is far lower than the number of people moving out, which has led to the total population of the two states has been declining. This brought the economic development of the two states to a standstill.

"Without population, we don't have an adequate workforce. The pastures need to be guarded and grazed, and our minerals need more manpower, and the number of people needed to open the mine is too manpower, and even if there is explosives, we feel that it is very bad. Moreover, the demand in the Guanzhong area of the Qin State is very large, for example, copper mines. Nowadays, bullets are made of copper, and a bullet case needs to consume about one or two copper, which is a very large amount. The MP said.

"Not only that, but also the amount of coal, the Guanzhong area needs a lot of coal to generate electricity, but we can only provide them with some high-quality coal to generate electricity. Or from the country of Zhao. The amount of coal and electricity needed by industry will be very large. Much scary. Another lawmaker said.

"The question is, how do we develop?" A young man asked the councillors.

When the parliamentarians heard this, they shook their heads. They don't know how to develop, and if they knew, they wouldn't be communicating here.

There are so many resources in the eastern and western Mongolian states, and many times, there is still a lack of a large number of talents, and in the eyes of the Qin government, the north is only a place to provide meat, copper, iron, and rare resources. The others were simply not enough for the Qin State to consider.

"I think that our development still needs to rely on resources, but resources will still be dug up, so we need a broader place." The young man said.

"For example, Mobei. It belongs to the border area of our eastern and western Mongolian states, but there are still many places in this border area that have not yet been determined. Like what. The forest and steppe areas north of Mobei, where there are a large number of Xiongnu tribes. They need a job, and we need them to mine. Not only that, we need more slaves to do such things. The young man said.

"Young people. Tell us what you think, or we can come up with a good plan to develop the economy of East and West Mongolia. The lawmakers said.

"My idea is simple. Expanding north, the northern tribes will be good fighters for us, they have plenty of tribal manpower. And we need that manpower. They also hope to develop in the place south of Monan, the life of the tribe has begun to settle down, they know very well that only when they settle down can they have civilization, and we Qin people can bring such a civilization. The young man said.

"There's a lot to the north that hasn't been explored. There are forest resources there, as well as various minerals. We should develop them. The young man said.

Hearing this, many parliamentarians nodded, but they shook their heads silently, because the development of Mobei is not an ordinary thing, which requires a lot of funds, and only by solving the financial problem can it be developed, and the government has not expressed that it will support this, so they have no reason to do so.

Sinzheng, South Korea.

"It's a huge arms market." Han Shu said this after seeing the telegram sent by Zhang Shi.

"I think we should do something about it. Or buy a large number of barrels from Zhao and transport them to Wei for processing, they have sufficient labor, they can keep working, we can also process and manufacture barrels, and we can produce technical parts. It was then transported to Qingcheng for large-scale production. We need a lot of money, and their needs are huge. Han Shu looked at the telegram in her hand and said anxiously. For Han Sook, the new Korean army is invincible, but the South Korean government needs plenty of trade opportunities to promote its own economy. This is an opportunity for South Korea.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to be cautious, otherwise, it will cause great losses, after all, the new army of South Korea is still facing the threat of the Monglas, because of the navigation, our numerical advantage has not been very sufficient, in the face of the opponent's numerical advantage, it is better for us to be careful." Zhang Liang thought of the threat posed by a large number of Menglaites to the Korean New Army, after all, they did not have such a large population advantage, but the other party's advantage was obvious, in the face of such a situation, Zhang Liang's only way was to be cautious.

"This is an opportunity. I believe that we in South Korea should seize such opportunities, after all, there are not many such opportunities. Han Shu said.

"But it can also be dangerous, your majesty, we have to be careful." Zhang Liang put forward his own views.

"The Benglas have a numerical advantage, while we don't have such a numerical advantage. If the opponent has one musket and more than a thousand cannons, our fortresses will be under a lot of pressure, the army will collapse, and we will simply not be able to build the bases we need on the Western continent, as well as order. Zhang Liang said.

"Hmm. Well, you convinced me. Han Shu nodded. South Korea needs a long-term trade opportunity, not facing the current predicament, which is asking for trouble for itself, and Han Shu does not want such a situation.

"However, we can ask them to find out why, or the Menglans are not specifically targeting us, they may be dealing with other people, for example." Han Shu couldn't find a good reason for herself. Zhang Liang could only send a telegram to ask the Mengla side to find such a reason.

Bangladesh. Inside the South Korean Forces Forces station.

"Sir, we just got a piece of information that isn't quite certain." Zhang said.

"Oh. Let's talk about it. Zhang Shi was looking at a newspaper, which was a domestic newspaper two months ago, which was already very fast. Usually they can only understand the situation through telegram, but it is unlikely that the telegram will send them a lot of useless messages for a long time, and the current telegraph system is not very problematic.

"The news came from the mouth of the merchants. The gunpowder weapons that the Menlas bought in large quantities were not aimed at us at all. They just sold to the northerners, mainly in the northwest direction on the Western continent, I heard, it was the dynasty side that needed it, and they turned the tax into muskets, and the higher the price of the musket, the less tax they paid, and they were very willing to do such a thing. After all. It's also trade," Zhang said.

"Why did they do that?" Zhang Shi asked very curiously.

"It seems that this involves a dynasty in the north, and they seem to have gathered under a dynasty," said the merchant. He couldn't figure out the situation either, all he knew was that the Northern Dynasty was going to target the Flesh Man. I think, probably, the Yueshi people. Zhang said.

"Sir, you know, I've seen the map drawn by the people of the Qin Kingdom, and the Western Ocean Continent may be connected by land with the place where we are, and the connected place may be from the Western Regions of the Qin State. The Qin people have been expanding into the Western Regions. Zhang Dahui tried to fill in what he could see with his imagination as much as possible.

"Oh my God. How did you come up with these things? Zhang Shidu thought it was incredible, Zhang Dahui actually felt that they had a connection with the people of the Qin State, and the Yue people who were beaten by the Qin people actually appeared in their northern position, which was too strange. He found it hard to understand.

"I think it's very incomprehensible." Zhang Shi put down the newspaper in his hand and shook his head and said.

"Sir, it's hard to understand, but it's there, and I think that's the way it is. This can be very large. Zhang said.

"Sir, are we going to submit a report like this first, I think it could be a great reference, it's just a speculation on our part, and then gradually confirm this matter, it's a big deal." Zhang Dahui said to Zhang Shi.

Because Koreans have not yet made a comprehensive analysis of the geography they know. The great geographical discoveries have not yet begun, many things are in an environment that has not yet been recognized, the unknown has enriched the imagination of Koreans, and the spirit of adventure has become more and more bold, but they still need to understand the world rationally, after all, many things can not be solved by imagination.

"Hmm. Well, you should probably draft a document like this, but we need to understand why the Menlas did it. You go and investigate, we need to summon the people of Mengla to investigate, and we have to find out about this situation. Zhang Shi said.

"Yes, sir." Zhang Dawei nodded.

The First Legion of the Moon Clan. Li Lian's commando training ground. However, they did not pay attention to how the commandos were trained, and they were given several mortars delivered from the Qin State. The mortar was still an earlier model, heavy, but the shells were an improved model, conical shells, and some of them used a trigger fuse. The others are old models. The shells look very bulky. After all, the Qin State rarely used such things, because there were no large fortresses to attack, most of the battles were field, and few countries purchased such artillery, which was said to be very cheap.

"Ready? We should give it a try. Zheng Ping said to the two military commanders with a telescope.

"Let's get started." Bai Le said. Bai Le kept mentioning the bombardment effect of the mortar artillery, and they built a temporary fortress on the training ground, simple. They need to experiment with how powerful it is. After all, such a military task is being completed as soon as possible, and the Yueshi people have no patience to wait.

"Boom." A cannon rang out. The cannonball flew out directly, and the three of them could feel the earth trembling, and the caliber of the cannon was very large, seven inches, so the powerful mortar shell was fired in a curve, and the cannonball hit not far at all, but it was full of power.

"Boom." A huge explosion was heard, and the cannonballs hit the ground like a heavy hammer, and they felt the earth tremble.

"Damn it didn't hit the target." Bai Le picked up the telescope and saw the target in the distance.

"Keep shooting." Bai Le continued to order. Then the artillery fired again, this time not too far from the target, but the target was still not destroyed. The three of them were losing patience. This may be the reason for the artillery, after all, they did not have a good grasp of this close-range curve shooting technique, the ballistic curve is too large.

It was not until the third shell that the distant target was destroyed. The three of them couldn't wait to check it out.

The stone slab was shattered by the force of the explosion, and the entire fortified fortress was smashed off. That's a big shockwave.

"Well, that's a good job." Bai Le looked at the bombed fortifications and said happily. In their opinion, by hitting more of these mortars, they would be able to open the gates of the other party's fortresses.

"I think the power is still a bit lacking, and the mobility is not very good, the shooting distance, although we are in the absolute safety range." Zheng Kai began to say worriedly.

"Don't worry, the rear will send us more cannons like this, the power is not enough, we can use the numerical advantage to suppress it, in this case, it will be very beneficial to us." Li Lian saw the bombed fortifications, which were made in imitation of the Indians' fortifications. They thought it should be fine.

"However, I think it would be better for us to be careful, I think we should have more explosives for the commandos so that they can enter from the most important places, after all, we can't get too close when bombing, and we don't know about the Indian fortifications yet." Zheng Kai said cautiously.

"Okay. Do as you wish, but I think this should be enough. The most important thing for us at the moment is to wait for the arrival of the cavalry units and then launch an attack. "Bai Le is already very optimistic. With such a weapon, he believes that it should be easy to take the fortress of the Indians, after all, such artillery is too powerful.

But Zheng Kai didn't think so, because they had never directly faced the Indian fortifications, and the Indians obviously already knew what kind of enemy they were dealing with, so they adopted a special strategy to suppress it. He had seen before that the Yueshi people had used explosives to blow open the gaps in the other party's walls. But it doesn't seem to work very well. It can be shown from this that the Indians specifically strengthened this point. For this, Zheng Kai believes that they should be cautious and not blindly optimistic.

After all, the more prepared they are, the more they will be able to win, and if they are not well prepared, they may face extremely difficult situations. Zheng Kai decided to increase the number and power of their explosives, which was a favorable condition for all parties, and such conditions were extremely useful for all aspects. The more prepared, the more likely it is to win. And the Yueshi don't care about that.
