"The grain must be exported on a large scale, otherwise the long-term squeeze will be very detrimental to Qin's agricultural production. The question is how to export these grains to other places, this is what we need to discuss most." The Minister of Economy said.

"Currently, there are only a few countries that have food needs, but the money these countries can give is also very limited. I heard that the country of Yan exchanges handicraft products. It is better in Korea. They use money. They bought it, but the quantity purchased was very limited. After all, their heaven and earth could also produce more grain. In addition, Chu State. Chu State also needs more grain. But it is not very strong, and Chu State can produce more. The food is also an important reason.” The Minister of Economy analyzed.

"Food can only be effectively sold to densely populated areas. The current demand for food in densely populated areas is great, but they do not have enough money to buy them. The low purchasing power is the main reason." The Minister of Economy further analyzed. .

"If we lend them money to buy food. Our situation may be better." said the bank minister.

"Lending money to them, I'm afraid they won't be able to pay it back. This situation will eventually form an endless loop in our hands." The Minister of Economy said.

"It seems that this problem is difficult to solve. The current food prices are falling further. This is not good news for us. If the prices fall, the interests of the farmers will receive a great loss, and Qin State's There is too much grain. But it cannot be sold. These squeezed grains will become the biggest harm." Meng Yi said.

"The prime minister. I think these grains can be used for large-scale winemaking." The Deputy Minister of Economy proposed.

"Wine making?" Meng Yi asked.

"Yes, brewing." said the vice minister of economy.

"I found that the consumption of alcohol is very large. Especially in the direction of Chu State, as well as the northern defense line, the consumption of alcohol is the largest. Qin State currently has a large amount of grain, and wine making is not allowed before, and the law also has it. It is clearly stipulated that there is rarely enough grain to make wine, but the situation is different now. Qin State has quite a lot of grain that can be used for wine making. And the accumulation of these grains is also a problem. If the wine is exported, I think, The problem shouldn't be big," said the vice minister of economy.

"They even have a problem with eating, can they afford this wine?" the Finance Minister asked questioningly.

"Yeah. Wine making is good, but they don't have enough to eat, how do they drink." Other people also discussed this issue.

"En. That's right. Wine making can indeed consume a lot of grain in Qin. As for how to sell these wines. This question needs to be considered." Meng Yi thinks this is an idea. As long as a large amount of grain can be consumed, When the price of grain in the Qin State rises, it will give farmers and ranchers in the Qin State a chance to make up for their losses. Otherwise, a large amount of grain will accumulate in the warehouse, which will greatly affect the farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain.

"I think there is only one way to consume a large amount of food in Qin." At this time, the Minister of Transportation, who calmly pondered everyone's suggestions, put forward his own views.

"What way?" everyone asked.

"Building roads." The Minister of Transportation said.

"Building a road?" Meng Yi asked.

"Yes. Building roads. Only road building can solve this problem. As long as we help the six countries build a large number of railways and highways, we can gather a lot of manpower, and the manpower in the six countries is that, as long as we build roads, they In order to get enough food, we must come to work on our construction sites. In this way, Qin’s grain will be of great use, which is far more cost-effective than using money. As long as Qin reaches a consensus with these countries, it will continue The road construction can solve this problem.” The Minister of Communications said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded. He still agrees with this view and thinks it is very constructive.

"Road building can solve the sharp contradictions of various countries. Especially in countries like Zhao Guo, they are very lack of a clear goal to transfer domestic contradictions, and Zhao has a large surplus labor force, if it cannot be properly handled. If we solve these labor forces, I am afraid that Zhao Guo will continue to fight." Meng Yi said after thinking about it.

"In addition, it is the country of Yan. The country of Yan is too traumatized by the war. It will take a long time to recover. For example, for food production, they need a lot of food to tide over the difficulties. If Qin's goal is to provide food at this time, At the same time, I think it should be possible to launch some traffic arteries projects. But the crux of the problem is." Meng Yi shook his head and said.

"The control of these railways and highways." Meng Yi stretched out.

"This problem is difficult to solve, and it is not easy to solve. It is necessary to negotiate a result with various countries. I am afraid that these results are not easy to negotiate." Meng Yi said, shaking his head. In the final analysis, at this time, Qin must develop appropriate diplomatic countermeasures, otherwise it will be difficult to obtain the greatest benefits.

Chu State Pengcheng.

"At present, the Chu army should be transferred back to fight. The situation in the south is extremely not optimistic. If the chaos continues, I am afraid that our money will be cut off." A middle-aged Chu aristocrat said anxiously.

"If you are transferred back, those Qi people will be suppressed. At that time, we will not be able to withstand them at all." A general in armor objected.

"King Qi is already ours. Isn't that possible?" the middle-aged nobleman asked.

"But there are still many Qi troops on the Eastern Front. They didn't listen to King Qi's orders at all. They continued to fight with us. The last time they launched a counterattack, our losses were not small." The general said. .

"The current situation in Chu State is very bad. Regardless, withdrawal is the best choice. Those slave troops going north will not be able to win many battles at all. Moreover, we have no extra money to fight. Therefore, this battle must be done. Withdraw." said the middle-aged nobleman. The result of the nobles' deliberations was to withdraw the troops. Regardless of the situation, the situation in Chu was no longer optimistic. Only with the withdrawal of troops and the restoration of strength can the current victory result be preserved.

However, the generals of the Chu army believe that it is not suitable for withdrawal at present. The main situation is that the Qi army is closely intertwined with the Chu army. At this time, the retreat may be detrimental to the Chu army. They do not know what the situation of the Qi army on the eastern front is. , This will be very unfavorable to them.

On the issue of troop withdrawal, the two sides still have not reached a consensus. The purpose of this consensus is that Qi will not let go of it.

On the east coast of Qi State.

"We are in front of Qi State. Our merchant ships are not easy to dock, Chu State merchant ships can, but they do not come here, they all go to Yan State. We have to unload the cargo here before we can leave." The talkative crew continued. Speaking of.

"Thank you. We will disembark now." Shishi said.

"Sir, let's disembark now." Shishi said.

"En. Let's go over there." Yingyu said.

On the beach, Shang Wen looked at the approaching merchant ship excitedly.

"The merchant ship has finally arrived." Shang Wen said. Shang Wen wanted to go to Chu Country to see what was going on there, he knew very well. The State of Chu in the south is also a big country. Qin has always regarded Chu as a strong opponent. The population and land area of ​​Chu are very large. Even now, the population of Qin is still not as large as that of Chu. Based on this, Shang Wen believes that we should understand this country, which is not very cohesive. Very scattered. How to solve the problem of Chu State is a difficult problem.

"It seems like some small boats are coming over there. Are we going to have a look?" Mo Li asked.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"It's okay to take a look in the past." Shang Wen said.

"There seems to be a member of the Qin country over there, don't you think you should avoid it?" Mo Li asked.

"No, those are Qin's economic observers. They are all concerned about Qi's affairs. For me, I don't think they have noticed yet." Shang Wen said.

"It's better to be careful. Those Qin people." Mo Li didn't say anything else.

Soon the boat docked. Shang Wen was also waiting on the shore. He wanted to take these small boats to South Korean merchant ships and talk to the captain about taking the ship to Chu.

"Sir, be careful." Stone said carefully. Yingyu just smiled, and then jumped off the boat. He didn't need to worry about this.

"Why are the people who came down with guns?" Shang Wen looked at the people who came down suspiciously. He didn't expect so many people with guns.

"They, they don't seem to be attacking." Shang Wen said to himself in confusion.

Some people who got off the boat were very tired and some were very excited, but more people thought that they were free from suffering.

"How do you carry weapons?" the fishermen on the shore asked tentatively.

"I'm all fighting in the same country, what's wrong with the gun." A rough Qi country man responded loudly. Walk towards the place where the sound is made.

"Shut up." Stone scolded loudly.

"Don't be rude here." Stone continued.

"What's the matter?" Shang Wen squeezed through the crowd and asked several fishermen.

"They all have weapons." The fisherman said with some worry.

Because there are more and more foreigners. They don't have many weapons to guard against. Only Tian Heng's camp has troops nearby, and their safety is difficult to guarantee. Seeing such a group of people carrying weapons, they are very worried, not just them, but even those on the Korean merchant ships.

But Shang Wen saw that they didn't seem to be launching an offensive situation, and this situation also made Shang Wen puzzled.

"Shang Wen." At this moment, Shang Wen heard such a voice.

Shangwen looked around subconsciously. He didn't know who called him.
