2122 The Problem of the State of Chu

"You're doing a great job. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info It was a very hard battle. But you played your part. Wang Ben patted Newton on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you, sir." Newton nodded.

"But, sir, we still want to participate in the next battle, after all, we can still fight." Newton said to Wang Ben.

"Hmm. I can understand your eagerness to fight. However, there are times when our soldiers still need a good rest. Wang Ben said with a smile.

"Don't be in a hurry, rest and rest." Wang Ben then comforted. Newton knew very well that in order to gain a higher position in the Qin army, he must constantly participate in battles and obtain greater military merits in battle.

"Huh." Wang Ben laughed.

"I want to ask you, what do you think of the prisoners of war in the Western Regions?" Wang Ben looked at Newton and asked.

"This. I don't think these prisoners of war are of much use, and it would probably be better if they were used for prisoner exchange. Newton saw a sense of hope in Wang Ben's eyes. Wang Ben thought that the other party must have wanted to make him say that it was in favor of the prisoners of war.

"Hmm." Wang Ben nodded.

"You Huns invaded the Central Plains before, and each time you had to plunder a large number of people. You are not short of food. Similarly, the Qin State was not short of food, so why couldn't it guarantee the safety of the lives of those prisoners of war. Wang Ben said.

Hearing this, Newton's heart suddenly tightened. He knows. Wang Ben, the supreme official, put forward such an idea. There must have been a certain prejudice against the Huns, and such prejudices could not be eliminated.

"I know that you Huns, the profits other than military salaries are calculated according to the head." Wang Ben said.

"Therefore, you would rather kill more prisoners of war than send them to prisoner camps, because it takes a lot of effort to escort them. At the same time, the number of combat personnel will be reduced a lot, and these prisoners of war will cause you a lot of trouble, and you will naturally not want to do this. Wang Ben said.

"Yes. Sir. We all think so, and we are willing to kill these prisoners of war rather than keep them. Newton said to Wang Ben.

"Well, I understand your thoughts." Wang Ben said.

"But if you do this, it will have great disadvantages to appease the people of the Western Regions, and now we need to change this situation, after all, there are also people in the Western Regions who are beneficial to the Qin State. If they blindly kill, it will cause them to be dissatisfied and resentful, which is extremely unfavorable to our Qin people. Wang Ben said.

"Of course. We also have to make some concessions on specific matters. For example, in terms of specific salaries, we will raise the price of prisoners of war higher than the price of those heads, so that the officers and soldiers will have a great profit, what do you think? At this time, Wang Ben asked Newton.

"Well, that's good. Just by doing so, it will be more difficult for us to fight. Newton said with some embarrassment. Newton still thought it was okay to raise the price and change the price of the prisoners, but in this case, it would be very difficult for the difficulty of the battle, after all, such difficulties would make the Huns bear a certain price.

"In this case, we will double the price. You can make specific arrangements according to the actual combat mission. Capture as many prisoners of war as possible. Wang Ben continued.

"That way, it's a lot easier for us. Thank you, sir, for thinking about us Hun officers and soldiers. Newton continued.

"Well, that's the way to go." Wang Ben said.

"If you enter the Qin army, you are a good brother." Wang Ben said to Newton.

"If you do well, in the future, you can be promoted to general, I would love to see you." Wang Ben said to Newton.

"Sir Xie." Newton saluted and thanked him.

"Okay, come with me to see the other officers and soldiers, I need to know about your cavalry troops." Wang Ben said with a smile.

"Yes, sir." Newton said and took Newton to check on their camp.

The reason why Wang Ben wanted to change the price was because his chief of staff brought good news. The good news was that the railroads were willing to pay a certain price to buy these prisoners of war as slaves, and they needed to build a large number of railroads. However, they lacked enough labor to build the railway, and these prisoners of war were the best labor force, and the current supply of slaves was very limited, and the Qin State had very few foreign wars. In this way, the labor market demand is very strong, especially the Qinguo railway project has been launched a lot at once. More labor is needed.

The chief of staff's proposal to transform prisoners of war into railway laborers was immediately supported by Wang Ben, so he decided to revise their standards for military merit and increase the amount of rewards for prisoners of war, so that the situation of killing prisoners of war could be greatly improved, which would be of great benefit to the construction of the railroad by the Qin state.

The northern part of the Qin state.

"Leader of Leema." Ju and smiled and caught up with Li Ma.

"Oh. It turned out to be Mr. Ju. Li Ma said to Ju with a smile.

"I don't know if Leader Li is free, I just got a bank loan, which is just enough to solve your weapon problem." Ju said.

"Ahh Are you sure? Can Mr. Ju really solve our weapons problem? Li Ma heard the news. Immediately laughing, he thought that Ju He would not lie to him.

"Yes. There is no problem with that. It's just that our cooperation needs to be discussed in detail. Otherwise, I'll have a big problem. Ju said at this time.

"Oh. If you don't say it, I still have a question to tell Mr. Ju, and my problem is probably even more difficult. Li Ma said.

"I don't know what's wrong with Chief Li?" Ju asked with some concern. After all, he was very worried that Li Ma had some other problems, such a problem would make his plan a big surprise, and he didn't want such an accident.

"Oh. That is true. Li Ma said.

"After you found me last time, after discussing those things, I felt that a tribe like ours couldn't do what you said at all, after all, there were so many chassis, we couldn't take them down at all, so I found a few more tribes, weapons." Li Ma said with a smile.

"Oh. It's a thing. Ju He was a little surprised to hear such a thing, but he thought about it carefully, and felt that the other party was right to do this, after all, relying on the military strength of one tribe alone could not sweep the entire Mobei grassland, and at the same time further expand the territory of a larger territory, after all, the military force was still not enough. In this case, it is also possible to provide more weapons and equipment, as long as you get enough land.

But at this time, Ju He remembered one thing, those prisoners of war could provide a large number of cheap labor for the railway company, although the number of participants was large, but compared to those cheap labor, Ju He thought that these were still acceptable.

"That's it. Nothing is a big problem. At this time, Ju Ji shook his head and said with a smile.

"No problem, no problem." Ju said at this time.

"Come, let's talk about specific cooperation." At this time, Ju invited Li Ma to speak. As he spoke, the two entered the tent of the leader of the Lima tribe.

"We can provide you with weapons, and I am willing to do more tribal things. It's just that I have one condition. Ju said at this time.

"Hmm. Mr. Ju can talk about it. At this time, Li Ma said.

"When you occupy the northern territories, I hope you can bring more people to the tribal population, and with these populations, it will be fine. Of course. I'll give you a good price for those people. Ju said.

"How good it is for those people to kill, why those people." Li Ma said puzzled.

"If you can provide us with a certain population, I will give you a suitable price, which can allow you to discount a lot of the cost of weapons, and with these things, you can expand more land." Ju said.

"Hmm. Okay, I promise you. Li Ma thought about it and decisively agreed to Ju He's conditions.

"Then there's the issue of land deals." Ju said.

"Every time you sweep a thousand miles of land, we will make a transaction, so that we can also be guaranteed, and you can also receive the money in time, and there is a greater guarantee." Ju said.

"Hmm. That's good. You're good at thinking about us. Li Ma thought for a moment and said.

"That way, our deal will be done, and you will have the funds to complete your mission. It's good for everyone to come. Ju said.

The reason why Ju and they did this was actually because they were worried that it would be bad for them to take the weapon, and if they could trade within a certain result, it would be of great benefit to them.

"In addition to that, there is a request, which is what worries us the most." Li Ma continued.

"What requirements?" At this time, Ju asked him.

"Logistics supply, the biggest problem in this war is logistics supply, and the logistics supply of the Qin army can be easily solved. But our logistics, you also know the situation of our tribe. At this time, Li Ma said.

"This situation is easy to solve, I can solve it for you, but this requires you to provide more land, only in this way, these materials will be solved." Ju and made his own conditions.

"Hmm. Say. I agree with this plan. Li Ma nodded at this time.

"In order to ensure our logistical security, I have decided to mortgage our tribe to you, in this case, you can rest assured, and I will rest assured." Li Ma decided to arrive at this time. As a matter of fact. Li Ma dumped his tribe to Ju Ji, because he knew that the daily expenses of these tribes were also very large, and although the tribe still had some food, it could not last long. If it is given to Ju And, Ju He will definitely be of some help to his tribe out of his own needs, so that one of his own tribal problems will have a great guarantee.

"Hmm. All right. "Ju Ji knows Li Ma's thoughts, but even if he understands, there is no way. After all, he still needs these tribes to make a fortune, and he can't do it at all without any investment. Ju finally agreed to this condition. In this way, the tribe had a unified plan and began to expand towards the north.

A place fifty miles west of the coastal area of Qi State.

"Sir, in about fifty miles, we will be in the waterfront. There are our Marines there. A young man dressed as a man on the side said.

"Little atoms." Zhang Ying looked into the distance at this time and said.

"Don't tell anyone about the mission we're here this time." Zhang Ying said to the little atom. Xiao Atom is Jang Ying's orderly, and Jang Ying's main task this time is to take over the South Korean Marines in the Primorsky District, and then open up the sea route as quickly as possible and open up the sea logistics supply line.

"But, sir, we have an order from the Ministry of Defense, what are we afraid of, just go and take over the army. Isn't that possible? Little Atom said dissatisfied.

"Other people's commanders directly take over the army and issue orders, but sir, you don't do this, but others say you're good." Little Atom said.

"I'm different from others, we have to complete our tasks as soon as possible, don't say anything else." Zhang Ying said. Zhang Ying came according to the order of the South Korean Ministry of National Defense, he knew very well what his order was, and ordered him to open up the logistics supply line as soon as possible, which was the most important task.

"After we get to the coastal area, we still don't publicize our affairs, we better go to the coastal area to have a look, see the surrounding situation, especially the situation of those merchant ships, if we can't figure out these merchant ships, it will be very unfavorable to us." Zhang Ying said. Zhang Ying knew very well the meaning of those merchant ships. If you go from the sea, you need merchant ships, and you can't complete the task without merchant ships, so his task is to solve the problem of merchant ships first, but the previous behavior of sending troops to control merchant ships made the merchants very dissatisfied, and how many merchant ships there are in the coastal area, he doesn't know in his heart, the only way is to investigate and see what those merchants need.

"Hmm." Little Atom nodded. expressed willingness to obey Zhang Ying's orders.

"Alright. Let's go see the situation and let's go. With that, Zhang Ying rushed towards the coastal area with the little atom.

Sinzheng, South Korea.

"This is the negative son of the Chu State." Fan Zeng introduced Shang Wen.

"Oh. We've seen it. Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"Back then, the son of the negative son came to Xianyang, Qin State." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"Oh. I didn't expect that. Fan Zeng said to Shang Wen.

"Hmm." Shang Wen nodded.

"Let's get down to business, I want to get straight to the point." Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. The prime minister was happy. He said to Shang Wen.

"This time, we hope that the prime minister can talk about the affairs of our Chu State, after all, Chu State is also a big country, and under such a big meeting, Chu State should also do something." Said the negative.

"Hmm. The main purpose of this meeting is to liberalize the tariffs of various countries and promote the growth of trade in various countries, which is a large world with a variety of products that not all countries have. Shang Wen said.

"If tariffs are liberalized, it will be conducive to the development of trade among countries." Shang Wen said.

"On the issue of the state of Chu, I think the state of Chu has done a very bad job. Tariffs are very complex. And you're extremely obstructive to business. I hope that the state of Chu will change. Shang Wen continued.

"After the tariffs, there is a lot of infrastructure, and it would be better to open up the main transportation arteries, especially the Yangtze River, in addition to a large number of railway projects. These are all favorable measures that are conducive to the development of commercial trade in the state of Chu. Shang Wen said. Listen patiently. He's weighing all the pros and cons.

"Anything else? Prime minister? At this time, he asked.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"There is also the object that the banks of the Qin State need to invest in, and with the object of investment, the Chu State can be rapidly developed." Shang Wen said.

"Hmm." He nodded. He believes that these are of great benefit to the revival of the Chu State. Such benefits are long-term, he knows that there is a certain reason for the development of the Qin State, although he does not know what kind of development results such a development will bring, but with a sensitivity to politics, he thinks that such a suggestion should be accepted.

"Okay, I'll take all of these suggestions." Said the negative.

Fan Zeng nodded on the side.

"It's just that we have a big problem in the Chu State." Negative continued.

"What's the problem?" Shangwen asked.

"The problem with Chu is that we don't have a regime that solves domestic problems in a unified way. I think the prime minister of the nobles of Chu is also very clear that the government of Chu cannot meet such needs. He said.

"Hmm." Shang Wen nodded.

"I wonder what the Son of Negative Boy thinks?" Shang Wen felt that he was not here to discuss the issue of the meeting. It's something else.

"I hope that we can get the help of the Qin State and establish a strong government in the Chu State. In this way, these of the Qin State can be done by the Chu State. But if you don't have that. No matter how good the conditions and suggestions put forward by the Qin State, the Chu State will not be able to achieve its own goals. He said to Shang Wen.

Shang Wen frowned when he heard this, Shang Wen was a little annoyed by such a request, because Shang Wen was sincere in saying these things, but he asked to support them in their political activities. There was no such activity in the Qin State. Shang Wenneng is against this.

And Fan Zeng on the side couldn't help but shake his head when he heard such a request, because he knew very well that Shang Wen would not agree to such a request, and it was obvious that Shang Wen would definitely not agree to such a request, and the matter would not be established.

"I don't usually agree to this." Shang Wen said.

"But for the affairs of Chu State, I will think about it, maybe I can think about it." Shang Wen said with a frown.

"This." The negative was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Shang Wen didn't accept his request, maybe it was because he was too straightforward. That's how the minus thinks. The rest of the meeting suddenly became much colder.

The minus was soon sent away. Meng Yi persuaded Shang Wen.

"I think the matter of Chu State should be agreed." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"If you agree, it's a conspiracy. Use conspiracies to subvert the state of Chu. Shang Wen said.

"I can't do anything like that." Shang Wen sternly refused.

"If you don't do this, it will bring very serious consequences, and the current predicament of Chu is very balanced. Aristocracy was the main reason for the inflated tariffs. And there is no political force in Chu to reduce tariffs, and I think that the negative man has the ability, the heart, and the willingness to do such a thing. Why don't we say yes to them? Meng Yi said.

"Even then, we can't do that. In doing so, we are using a conspiracy to subvert a country, and if we do, it poses an extremely serious threat to us. Especially in the future unification war of Qin, Qin needs a great reputation, and if Qin does this, public opinion will be very unfavorable to Qin. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. You have a lot of point. Meng Yi said.

"The public opinion of the Qin State does need to be maintained in this way, but the situation in the Chu State is indeed very bad, I think the prime minister is not clear about some details of things, the price of sugar in the Qin State has risen very sharply, and the price of tea is also very strong, the Chu State has monopolized the trade in the entire south, in the Western Regions, the Qin State needs a lot of tea, silk, sugar, these Chu products, on the contrary, the various products of the Qin State have dropped a lot." Meng Yi said.

"This." Shang Wen was a little surprised, he really didn't expect such a thing.

"The countries are already very dissatisfied with the Chu State. They monopolized a large amount of such trade, a large amount of gold flowed into these countries, and only part of our products went into the Chu country, and such a thing in the Chu country is really too annoying, if you think about it, our losses are too great. Meng Yi said.

"Hmm. And there is such a thing. Shang Wen said.

"Yes. This has happened many times, and our inventory has now been reduced to a fairly small point. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"We can only solve these problems by solving the problems of the Chu State, otherwise, it will seriously affect our trade in the Western Regions, and many of the goods we give are given to the nobles of the Chu State, and if we do not overthrow the regime of the nobles of the Chu State, it will always be unfavorable to the Qin State." Meng Yi continued.

"The prime minister should be able to think about it, most of our merchants' profits are eaten up. This is very bad for us. At this time, Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Looks like we're going to have to fix this." Shang Wen thought about it and decided that he should do it.

"Yes. I think we should pay attention to the current. Meng Yi said.

"Especially in the case of South Korea, South Korea is at war with the State of Chu, at least it is a local war, but this is only happening outside the land of the State of Chu. I think it can be done. In addition, I think that the specific matter should be handed over to the bank, after all, there is a lot of risk in this matter, and the profit brought by such a risk is very huge. Meng Yi then suggested to Shang Wen.

"Hmm." Shang Wen nodded.

"Hmm. Have ideas. Shang Wen said.
