Shang Wen's statement can only let Mo Lao listen silently, because he can't interrupt at all, and there are many things that Mo Lao can't understand.

In the Western Regions of the Qin Kingdom, after the King Qin inspected the smuggling trade on the border, he felt the coolness of his back. He asked Meng Tian to send a telegram to Meng Yi to inform Meng Yi of what happened here. However, King Qin believes that it is necessary to further explore the extent to which the smuggling trade at the border has developed. So he quickly sent manpower to explore from southern Xinjiang to northern Xinjiang. Even in the Qiang area. King Qin wanted to know how extensive Qin's border smuggling trade was.

In Xianyang, Qin State, intense discussions are going on in the marketing department of the Lee Arms Company.

"Weapons are very easy to solve. Wild artillery is not as powerful as it is for fighting tough battles. We can export large-caliber mortars to solve the problem. Moreover, these mortars will rust when they are left. These things are waste products for us." Said the weapon marketing manager.

"If necessary, we can also export some machine guns to Zhao Guoren. But the problem is not the weapon. The crux of the problem is what Zhao Guoren pays for, is it a stone?" said the weapon marketing manager.

"I am the representative of the weapons market in the Zhao country." A middle-aged man stood up and said.

"Zhao Guo is now in civil strife. It is a good time for us to sell our weapons. Wherever there is war, we need our weapons. Where is our market?" said Zhao Guo's marketing manager.

"We sell weapons to Zhao Guo and let them pay on credit. As long as they sign the purchase contract, then we can get the money we want with the contract. Isn't this a good thing?" Zhao Guo Market Said the manager.

"As Manager Li said, our weapons are rusted in our own weapons warehouse. We might as well sell them to Zhao Guoren and let Zhao Guoren beat themselves." Said the Zhao Guo District marketing manager.

"Yes, our weapons can be rusted in our weapon warehouse, but don’t forget. Zhao Guoren has not paid the last sum of money, and now he has to buy weapons again. This is another sum of money in arrears. We are a weapons company and an enterprise." Manager Wang looked at each other.

"It is also a commercial organization. What does our commercial organization gather to do. It is to make money. These weapons require cost to manufacture, and we need to buy raw materials. We need to hire workers, then manufacture the finished products, and then sell the finished products to the merchants. We can only get them now The money is our funds. The blood of our commercial organization. Without blood, we cannot circulate. If many foreign debts cannot be accumulated, our funds will not be returned. Then the next purchase of raw materials, there is Workers’ wages will not be able to be paid. At that time, I’m afraid, if the funds cannot be recovered, we will go bankrupt. Zhao Guoren, we don’t need to pay the money, we just go bankrupt.” The manager Wang didn’t. Said politely.

After these have been said. The marketing manager of Zhaoguo District is no longer talking. Obviously, if the foreign debt is in arrears, Qin's weapons enterprises will not be able to operate.

"No one will bear this kind of risk. Business is risky. Of course, we can see the money we make, but only when we hold the money in our hands can we complete the transaction and leave the order empty. In the end, no one pays. This kind of business , Who dares to do it?" Manager Wang shouted loudly.

All the people present stopped talking. Everyone present understands that Zhao’s business is very attractive, because Zhao’s nobles everywhere are quelling the miner riots in the mining area, and the aristocratic army is not strong. In addition, the Zhao army also participated in the riots in the mining area. The combat power is extremely unbalanced. Although the noble army has the advantage in infantry weapons, it is helpless in terms of tactics, training and combat experience. The army of the nobles of the State of Zhao couldn't fight against each other at all. In this way, quelling the riots cannot go on.

In desperation, the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom placed their hopes on the advanced weapons of the Qin Kingdom. Originally, they believed that they could solve the battle by buying a batch of artillery, but the subsequent wars showed that it was not that easy. As a result, the nobles were a little disappointed, but the riots needed to be continued. At this time, the people of the Qin nation wanted to sell them a batch of different artillery. But the nobles of the State of Zhao could not continue to pay for these weapons. They hoped that after quelling the riots, they would take down the mining area and use a large amount of coal mines to compensate for the losses, but Qin's weapons company was very worried, and they did not get the first funds. Next, who will know whether they can pay the second amount of funds, knowing that they can only pay the funds after they have won the mine. Coupled with the operation of the enterprise, there will also be great risks. Qin's weapons company was very worried.

On the one hand, Qin State wanted to swallow this order because they still had a large amount of inventory to digest, and Zhao Guoren needed this weapon, but on the other hand, Zhao Guoren could not pay for the weapon. In this way, The two sides formed a deadlock. The people of Qin had weapons, and people of Zhao needed weapons, but one couldn't collect the money, and the other didn't have money to give to the other party, so the two sides couldn't stand it.

The southern area of ​​Qi State, the area where the guerrillas are active.

"Hey, go ahead and see if there is a convoy. Hurry up." A guerrilla leader gave orders to his men.

"Sir, there is no Chu army convoy anymore recently. The convoy is getting fewer and fewer. Now our guerrillas are everywhere, and they are attacking everywhere. Chu people dare to come out." The subordinate said dissatisfied.

"Hurry up and see if there is a caravan, your **** go quickly, and if you don't grab some points, your **** won't be opened." The guerrilla leader shouted.

"Yes. Sir." The subordinate left reluctantly.

But the entire Chu army's logistics supply line had been completely cut off by the rapidly expanding guerrillas. The Chu army's logistics supply line, which was already weak and tense, could no longer provide more logistics supplies to the front line, and the entire Chu army fell into a state of logistical supplies stalled.

In this situation. The Chu army's logistics personnel began to huddle up to avoid the opposing force's powerful stones.

"The current situation is very bad for us." A Chu army general said. This is an advancing barracks for the logistics supply of the Chu army.

"There are all Qi people outside, and these Qi people don't know when they got up so many people all at once." said an officer with a horoscope.

"Anyway, you and me are in a bad situation. We only have more than two thousand people in our hands. Those Qi people, less than tens of thousands, rushed over, how we fight. I don't know what the above thinks." General Chu Jun said worriedly.

"Yesterday, our scouts who went out to search came back, but most of them can't come back." The Chu Army officer said.

"It seems that they have come to our side. Strengthen the defense, you and I can hold here, it is not bad. Fortunately, we have stocked some supplies here, which can last some time. If you can't hold it, you and me will also "The general Chu Jun said pessimistically.

"General. I'm going to dig a ditch." The officer left immediately.

"Hurry up, dig deeper." Outside the Chu army camp, the Chu army soldiers were mobilized, and they began to continuously strengthen the trench defense. Some Qi guerrillas had not attacked them because they had no attacked convoys. And if the Chu army retreats, they will be caught in the attack of the guerrillas. In that case, they will be more passive, so the Chu army chose to stand by and wait for assistance.

Because the defense can't be shaken. They firmly believed that the Qi guerrillas had backward weapons and could not attack them at all. As long as they stick to it, they will be able to get reinforcements from within Chu, and in that case, their situation will be resolved.

With the rapid decrease of the Chu army fleet. The guerrillas were no longer able to obtain the materials of the Chu army. As a result, the situation of the guerrillas was in an unfavorable situation. The reason why the Qi guerrillas grew rapidly was largely due to the logistics of the Chu army. Supplies, and now the Chu Army does not supply supplies. The Qi guerrillas also felt uneasy.

"Fucking, the Chu army is huddled up, we are almost starving to death." A guerrilla team complained.

"We will starve to death if we don't come out again." A subordinate complained.

The situation of the guerrillas is like this. The Chu army is huddled and the guerrillas are active, and the two temporarily enter a state of persistence.

However, the Chu aristocrats are now uncomfortable.

"Money, money, money, money everywhere." A Chu aristocrat shouted loudly.

"When can I not have the money?" the nobleman said in annoyance.

It takes money to build a fort, and to make up for lost merchant ships and cargo ships also need money. In the Qi State War in the north, the nobles still suffered a big deficit. If this continues, the situation of the nobles is very bad.

"Lord, it is the busy time of spring, we still need more money." A counselor stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Oh." The noble sighed.

"This war in Qi is not over yet, Lao Tzu's family is almost exhausted." The noble sighed.

"Think of a way to levy more taxes. Those untouchables. There is still a bit of oil and water." The noble thought for a while. My own industry cannot move, and I can no longer provide more money. Although the business is very profitable. But the overhead is also high. Recently in order to build a fort. There is an urgent need for a large amount of funds to purchase artillery, and the money for artillery has not been enough. Now that has the money to support other places. After thinking about it, the nobles decided to continue to levy taxes and increase taxes on the Chu people who belonged to their fief, and this money should be settled here.

"Lord, do this...". The counselor looked at the nobleman worriedly.

"Isn't it possible?" The nobleman looked at the counselor dissatisfied, and in desperation, the counselor had to follow suit.
