"What Qin has to do is to bring these countries out. The news is fed back from various places. I think it should start with the construction of railways in Qi. Qin must first let the world see. There is an example." Shangwen said.

"En. What's the prime minister's opinion about Qi?" King Qin asked.

"Don't dare." Shang Wen gestured with his hands.

"For Qi, my opinion is to support a Qi who obeyed Qin's orders and let Qi Wang step down." Shang Wen expressed his views.

"Oh." Hearing such a bold idea. King Qin was very shocked. King Qin knew that Shang Wen's idea was very bold, and he had never had it before, and he was prepared in his heart. But when it comes out. King Qin was still a little shocked.

"Talk about it." King Qin continued.

"Qi aristocracy has been difficult to support, and to support a Qi state like King Qi, the Qin state is simply unable to exert a beneficial influence in Qi." Shang Wen said.

"The Qi people and the nobles of the Qi country, as well as the kings of Qi, have been completely separated as the representatives of the two classes. The minister learned from the newspaper that when Linzi of the Qi State was under siege, the nobles all fled and left Linzi City. Guarded It is really a disillusionment for the people to leave everything to the civilians. From this point of view, it will be difficult for the nobles of Qi to gain a firm foothold in Qi. Qi. It is equivalent to ruin." Shang Wen said.

"Well, why does the prime minister want to support a Qi country?" King Qin then asked.

"Supporting a country of Qi. It is to regroup Qi Min's heart. This way, Qi people will not be easy to disperse. When they are reunified in the future, Qi people will be able to return to Qin country well." Shang Wen said.

"Return? How to turn back?" King Qin asked.

"This. The minister doesn't know. It's just that I think it might be better to do this. People in the world are scattered. People's hearts are different. The unification of the Qin State is to unite the hearts of the people in the world. Disperse. I'm afraid not. Great." Shang Wen said, shaking his head.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"Perhaps." King Qin felt very bad about Shang Wen's remarks in his heart. do not know why. King Qin always felt this way. Although Shangwen's thinking is peculiar, it is generally different from that of Qin. This difference always makes King Qin feel a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty. Prime Minister." At this moment. Meng Yi's assistant walked in quietly and said.

"What's the matter?" Meng Yi asked.

"Western Region urgently calls." Assistant Meng Yi said.

"En." King Qin motioned to Meng Yi to check. Meng Yi salutes. Then the result telegram was checked. The assistant quietly stepped back.

"This." Meng Yi handed the telegram to Shangwen at this time. Shang Wen checked it.

"General Wang Ben led a mobile cavalry battalion to outflank the side of the Western Region Army. And launched an offensive. Next. How to solve this matter. There is really no way." Meng Yi said with a sigh.

King Qin took the telegram handed over by Shang Wen and checked it. Wang Ben is in charge of the entire southern Xinjiang region of the Western Regions. After hearing that one of his fortresses had been attacked. Wang Ben immediately organized a counterattack. The Western Region Army crossed the desert to attack Qin's fortress. Once attacked, they will quickly retreat from the desert. Because Qin Jun is unfamiliar with the desert, he is often beyond reach. This time, Wang Ben led his mobile force around the edge of the desert and launched a surprise attack directly from the side. The Western Region Army suffered heavy losses and retreated around the edge of the desert. Wang Ben won a big victory.

"This matter could have been properly resolved. Large-scale wars were avoided. But now it seems that our situation is not very good." Meng Yi shook his head and said.

Shangwen learned the truth about some things from various news and reports. The cause of the incident was that the people of Qin ambush the other party to covet the other party's property. The Western Region Army then mobilized horses and besieged the Qin Army fortress. After all, Wang Ben is not wrong. But the fault lies in the fault. Once the attack is launched. It will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction among the people of the Western Regions. Meng Yi worried that it would trigger a larger-scale military operation.

"It's already happened. Saying more is of no use." Shang Wen thought for a while and wanted to say it.

"Your Majesty. Next, the State of Qin will strengthen the military defense of southern Xinjiang. The people of the Western Regions still have a certain military strength in the desert area. And the Qin Army is widely distributed. I am afraid it will be very detrimental to the Qin Army." Meng Yi worried. Speaking of.

Shangwen fell into contemplation at this time, for the sudden occurrence of such a thing. Shang Wen felt that Guanzhong's control over the frontier was very limited, and what happened in the Western Regions could only be temporarily handled by the military chief on the border. Shang Wen couldn't think of a good way for a while.

Then King Qin and Shang Wenmengyi continued to discuss some other details. Shangwen said everything he could think of. Shangwen's ideas opened up a new kind of thinking to King Qin.

An important meeting is being held in the Chu colony in the south and two nearby colonies. The content discussed at this meeting is the defense of the colony.

"Give me a place. Everyone is quiet." A middle-aged man stood up and said.

"Today we gather everyone together. It is to discuss some important things." The middle-aged said. The middle-aged surname is Huang. This is promoted based on Chun Shenjun's surname.

"I'm not three." The middle-aged said.

"It's the highest official of our Huangzhou colony." Huang Busan said slowly.

"Sir Huang. You have something to say quickly. Everyone has things to do." A young man stood up and said.

"I know you Xiaomaohuang. There is something to be busy on the dock. But this matter is related to everyone and the survival and development of the entire colony. No matter how busy you are, you have to listen to what Huang Busan said." Huang Busan was dissatisfied. Speaking of.

"Yes. Yes. I'm sorry. Master Huang." The young man said with his hands.

"Okay. Everyone, listen to what Master Huang said." said a skinny old craftsman.

"I summoned the chiefs of the two nearby colonies here to discuss the issue of the merger of our colonies and common defense." Huang Busan said.

"Everyone knows that some indigenous people have been attacking our colonies frequently recently. Although the colonies have strengthened their defenses, they are still attacking us. Although our losses are small, such things always happen. This is very for us. It’s unfavorable.” Huang Busan said.

"Who else could do this. At the beginning, if it weren't for Mr. Huang to send troops to attack the indigenous people, could there be such a thing as today? Suddenly I don't know how many people died." The next congressman said dissatisfied.

The reason why the indigenous people continue to attack the colonies is because the colonies have launched militias to attack the indigenous people. In order to expand the land of the colony. But most of the results were failures. The reason is that militia training and tactical training are very limited, and they are used to launch offensives. Power is very limited. The result is naturally unfavorable. The indigenous people immediately launched a counterattack and retaliated against the colony.

But the attack intensified. Because the colonies are much richer than the natives. There are many things that the indigenous people have never seen, such as fields that can grow to eat, they have never seen them at all, so the attack became a natural thing. In a colony that has lost a certain amount of power, it can only defend passively.

"In addition, a lot of people have come to the colony recently. The number of colonies is increasing. But the land that the colony can accommodate is very limited. So, I wonder if the three colonies near us merge into one, so that the three colonies will be It can solve the land and population problems." Huang Busan said.

The three colonies mentioned by Huang Busan are two nearby colonies, which are different from Huangzhou. Huangzhou is a colony established by a port. His dependence is mainly on ports. There is only a small amount of land. The two nearby colonies were entirely cultivated land, most of them came from self-cultivating farmers who were unable to pay taxes in Chu State. They came here to find a piece of land of their own.

In the colony. They have no taxes to pay. There is no need to be responsible to anyone. They organized each other to form a loose small organization to replace the government without paying any taxes. The two colonies are mainly agricultural.

"This. Something is wrong. I heard that Huangzhou has to pay taxes. If our two pieces of land go in together, I'm afraid it's not good for us." A middle-aged farmer said worriedly.

"En. We are here to avoid the nobles of the gods. If the taxes here are paid again, we will do nothing." An old farmer said.

Farmers are always concerned about the harvest. They finally have a piece of land of their own, and the harvest is all their own. Of course they are very worried.

"Don't worry, everyone. The three pieces of land are merged into one piece. There is no need to pay taxes. This can be guaranteed by Huang Busan." Huang Bushang immediately assured.

But those people still couldn't believe that such a thing happened.

"This land can't be handed over. There is still a lot of arable land nearby that we can cultivate. If there are more people coming. What should we do?" said a middle-aged farmer.

"But if no one is here, there will be no women on the land. Without women, can you marry a wife?" an old farmer with long eyebrows asked back.

"That's it." A young man echoed.

"Combine. There are a lot of women in Huangzhou. Especially those from Chu State, those women look good. They are merged. We sell food. We have the money to make a betrothal gift and marry a daughter-in-law." Young People said excitedly.

"When you marry a wife, you know you want a woman. Why don't you think about getting your land well." A middle-aged farmer scolded.

"With a woman, this land will naturally be cultivated. It's better than that of cattle." Another young man said with a smile.

"Ha ha ha." The old farmer smiled slightly when he heard it. And the middle-aged farmer gave each other a fierce look.
