Chu State, Pengcheng.

"We did a simple survey, and the merchants of Chu are very supportive of the establishment of Chu's own stock trading center, and they believe that this is very conducive to the development of Chu's trade. But. Chen Ping turned around.

"They are a little worried that the stock will not be able to trade on time, after all, the infrastructure construction of the Chu State is very bad. The most important thing is that if it is established in the Wuyue area, although the shipping there is developed and the news is faster, the population there is smaller after all, if it is established in Pengcheng. Pengcheng's political factors are too influential, and none of them seem to be a good choice. The businessman's worries are still relatively large. As for the aristocracy, they thought that they could sell some stocks, but who would buy them, they were more worried about whether they would lose control of the company, or the banks they controlled, if they bought too much. They were all worried about that. Chen Ping said.

"Phew, it seems that the problem is back to square one. They still think that the infrastructure construction of our Chu State is too backward. Fan Zeng said helplessly.

"Yes, but the construction of these is not something that can be done in a day, although on the battlefield of Mengla, our Chu State has won a huge victory, but it seems unlikely that the spoils captured by the soldiers will give us more, if we force them to surrender, it will affect morale and lead to the defeat of the war, I think, we are better to accept the current result." Chen Ping said helplessly.

"Hmm." Fan Zeng just snorted. The army has military rules, the Chu army is not a modern army, their training has never been formalized, in some things, they still like to deal with it in their own way, for example, the disposal of the spoils of war, a large number of officers and soldiers only handed over part of the spoils, and the rest of the spoils of war they all became their own property, the Chu government originally thought that the spoils of war would be a large financial input, but now it seems that this is unlikely. At present, the government of Chu can only pin its hopes on war reparations, and they have no hope for the spoils of war.

There are many domestic financial problems that need to be solved in the state of Chu. The construction of the country requires the investment of financial funds. The issuance of bonds still does not serve this purpose.

"What happened to the reparations?" Fan Zeng asked Chen Ping. At present, war reparations are the only hope for the Chu government.

"The Koreans are solely responsible for this matter, and I heard that the Mongols have approached the Koreans, and before the Mengols have put forward a plan, they were ordered by the Koreans to kill the guards of the negotiating envoys, and then let the envoys themselves put forward conditions. And then there hasn't been any news until now. Chen Ping shook his head and said.

"Huh." Fan Zeng laughed.

"With this move, you will get more things, and it seems that the Korean people have a lot of appetite." Fan Zeng said.

"However, I think that this matter will continue to wait, our Chu government may not be able to wait long, and the winter is almost over. Spring will soon pass, and many problems will need funding, and then go on like this. We just can't wait. Chen Ping said anxiously.

"Hmm. I know, but we just have to wait, do you have any good ideas? Fan Zeng asked.

"My solution is to mortgage the shipyard, or the ships that have been built, take out loans, and let the army expand a country, and if we can get another war reparation, we can make a greater profit. Anyway, the whole continent is very large, and there are many countries, so we Chu people can expand in other regions. Waiting is the most helpless move. Chen Ping suggested.

"Hmm. That's a good idea. Fan Zeng nodded and said.

On the other hand, Xiang Yan, as the chief of the General Staff, was thinking about the next move of the Chu army.

"According to the information that our Admiralty has, the other nobles have been stimulated by quite a bit of information, and the Second and Third Fleets have already launched some military operations, and their purpose is not Bangladesh, but beyond Bangladesh, however. Until now, we don't know what kind of continent we are facing is called. Or we can call them the Western Ocean. Xiang Liang said.

The second and third fleets of Chu were all fleets composed of nobles, their number of warships was huge, and there were many artillery, at first their task was to escort noble immigrants, but with the completion of the task, and the news of victory from the battlefield of Mengla, especially the news of the loot, this greatly stimulated the interests of those nobles. The nobles of Chu were still in the primitive stage of capital, and they needed a lot of capital too much.

"Hmm. It seems that the war will expand further. Xiang Yan said.

"Yes, as large as their naval power may seem, the logistics are not sufficient to sustain large-scale operations, and they rely at most on raids and blackmail." Xiang Liang then analyzed.

"But if you do that, it's going to be very chaotic, it's already out of control, and it's going to happen again. The situation on the Western continent could be chaotic. We're afraid we can't control the situation. Xiang Liang said.

"If we can't control it, we can't control it, but our most important task at the moment is to build a base, a base for the Navy to advance. Only then will we be able to give the Navy control over more official areas, we are not in a hurry, as long as a large number of naval base ports are created along the way, and that's it. This is the point, and if you don't pay attention to logistics, sooner or later they will suffer a big loss. Xiang Yan didn't seem to be worried about the results of those aristocratic navies at all, but Xiang Yan attached great importance to the failure caused by ignoring logistics. He knew that compared with the previous grain and grass, the current army is extremely dependent on logistics, and the nobles attach great importance to the results of the battle, but they ignore the logistics, they think that as long as they reach the place, they can be expanded, but this can only be used for a while but not for a lifetime.

State of Qin, Admiralty.

"The report has been submitted. However, it has still not been approved, and I fear that our plan will not be approved. Wang Shu said to his adjutant with some concern.

"Sir, maybe we should be patient." Wang Shu's adjutant persuaded.

"Nope. I don't think this report is appropriate, first of all, the place is not appropriate, and there are too many places to restrict. If the port is built, it will be built in an area where there is a dispute between the country of Yan and Korea, and in this case, it will be extremely troublesome in terms of diplomatic handling, and I think the Prime Minister's Office also has this in mind. Wang Shu said.
