2094 trade-offs

"Is this news true?" Still a little disbelieving, he asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"It's true, the news of the Ministry of Defense of Qin, and judging from the recent news, the South Korean side has indeed gone too far. Build the roads of the Qi country. And the carriage industry is like this, who would spend so much money to build such a road. If it weren't for military use, I'm afraid that no government, country, would spend so much money to do such a thing. Doing such a thing can only show that South Korea wants to use it for military purposes. The middle-aged businessman said.

"Childe, if you think about it again, South Korea's military movement has been very strange recently, the troops of the exercise have not returned, and military supplies are constantly being transported to Qi State, and we have already found out. The things we transport are all military supplies, except for some ammunition that is done by army supply vehicles, and most of it is still delivered by us. The middle-aged businessman said.

"Hmm. In this way, South Korea does want to do something to our Chu State, the question is, why do you want to do this? I don't understand. He said.

"It's very simple. I think that South Korea is seizing access to the sea, and this can be seen by a discerning person. The middle-aged businessman said.

"Estuary?" Negative asked.

"yes. Outlet to the sea, Childe can think about it, South Korea has a navy, Zhao does not, our Chu State is still a naval army, and South Korea and Qin State are the same navy, Qin's navy has no access to the sea, and our Chu State is blocked on the Yangtze River, and they can't come out. South Korea does not have any access to the sea, there was an agreement between Qi and South Korea, they wanted to cede Langya to the Koreans, which is also the main reason why South Korea spent a lot of money to support Qi and gave Qi a lot of aid. The middle-aged businessman said.

"Now, Koreans need overseas trade for a lot of things, tea from the south can be smuggled to the north, and things from the South Sea, such as some precious wood, ivory, coral, these things come from the sea, these are all seafood. I heard that there was also a Korean merchant ship that was seized by the nobles of the Chu State. I don't think South Korea will admit this anymore. The middle-aged businessman said.

"You're saying that this is the direct reason for South Korea to send troops?" Negative asked.

"Yes. The Ministry of Defense of the State of Qin also said the same. The middle-aged businessman said.

"Whatever? Childe, we should think about what we should do in this matter? This is already the case. We can't wait like this. The middle-aged businessman said.

"What do you mean?" Negative asked.

"How much profit can we make in such a war, you must know that we, the merchants of Chu, are not from Chu, but we must do what Chus should do." The middle-aged businessman said embarrassedly.

"What does that mean?" Negative asked. In his understanding, there was something hidden in the businessman when he said such things.

"Well, doesn't Childe understand?" The middle-aged businessman sighed.

"Actually, if you look at my personal feelings, the Koreans should indeed beat us up in the Chu State, especially those Chu State nobles." The middle-aged businessman said.

"Why do you say that?" The middle-aged businessman looked incomprehensibly.

"Gongzi doesn't know that the nobles of Chu have taken possession of the benefits, so if this continues, what kind of benefits can we businessmen have. Not at all. And the Koreans, Gongzi can think about it, why would a country like South Korea, a country that was almost destroyed by the Qin State, dare to do this and start a war with the Chu State, there must be the support of the Qin people behind this, and the news was obtained from the Qin people, which shows that the Qin State knew about this matter and allowed South Korea to do so. The middle-aged businessman said.

"If South Korea wins, we will be able to sell more goods. There are many things in Chu that have advantages, such as tea, silk, sugar, all kinds of minerals, many things, there are no things in the north, only imported from the south, but the nobles have a monopoly on these things, and we merchants in Chu in other countries have no way to get the goods, so to speak, we know that there are things that can make money, but we can't get the goods, the reason is because the nobles monopolize these things. After the Koreans defeated these nobles, we could get some goods, because both Qin and Korea demanded lower tariffs and a lot of encouragement for import and export trade. In this way, we, the merchants of the Chu State, can earn some money. The middle-aged businessman said.

"Oh." Hearing this, he understood the thoughts of the merchants of Chu State, for Chu State, they have certain feelings, but the feelings are based on the fact that Chu State brings them enough benefits, the current trade is frequently carried out, and the industrial products in the north and the economic crop products of Chu in the south are exchanged, this is trade, but the high taxes of the nobles, as well as the monopoly management, make them unable to make profits, in this way, the merchants of Chu are willing to support Korea to attack Chu State, in order to achieve such a purpose.

"However, we are all Chu people, do the Chu people want to support the Koreans to attack our Chu State?" At this time, he asked incomprehensibly.

"It's true that we are from the Chu State, but we are fighting those Chu nobles, and these Chu nobles will not give us a way out at all, what can we do? In fact, before coming here, this news has already been passed down. Everyone's meaning is very clear, that is, they want to support South Korea, and we all hate the nobles of Chu State. It's better to beat them all at once. In this way, we Chu merchants can also make a lot of profits. The middle-aged businessman said. At this time, he began to think about the stakes.

From the point of view of personal feelings, he did not want any country to bully the Chu State, especially the Qin State, and he had an inexplicable hatred for the Qin State.

However, if he needs to be in a higher position, if he is in a higher position, he will need a lot of financial support, and it is impossible for those nobles to support him, because the nobles have a lot of project benefits, and Li Yuan doesn't care about him, and he doesn't care about the nobles' projects, so that there are no practical benefits, and it is impossible for the nobles to agree to his superiors' requirements. After all, no one wants to get along with their own interests, so that the negative can not get enough financial support, especially the financial support of an army, he can not maintain the advantage of the army, in order to ensure such an advantage, the negative must find another force that can provide financial support, this force is the merchants, the merchant group of the Chu State.
