"Why is it a sinful colonization?" Meng Yi asked. And Shangwen swallowed a sip of water at this time, because he knew the huge profits brought about by the colonial era and the various influences produced in order to maintain such profits.

"Businessmen value profits. In order to win huge profits in the short term, they will not care about long-term benefits. If they can only earn a thousand times the benefits a day, they will ruin everything without hesitation." Shang Wen said.

"Huh, not all businessmen are like this." Yingyu said disdainfully.

"I hope so!" Shang Wen said.

"So, what exactly do you do?" Shangwen, Mengyi and Yingyu. King Qin stood at the door and asked Shangwen.

"The King." Shang Wen and Meng Yi bowed their hands.

"Father." Yingyu saw that it was his father, and also saluted.

"Don't be restrained." Qin Wang waved his hand and said.

"Let's talk about it." King Qin said.

"The king," Shang Wen said.

"Chen's idea still has some immature places." Shang Wen said.

"Widow listened a little. Colonial company. Use the power of merchants. If it is done well, the government can expand a lot without spending a penny. Isn't it?" King Qin asked.

"This. Exactly." Shang Wen nodded and admitted.

"Let's talk about it. The widow wants to hear your opinion." King Qin couldn't wait to say.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"Okay. This is what I think." Shang Wen said.

"We still don't know how far the war will go, how long it will last, and what is the opponent's attitude?" Shang Wen said.

"Therefore, according to General Wang Jian's first step, the Qin army is to defend. In terms of defense, we will definitely form a great advantage." Shang Wen said.

"The enemy consumes far more resources than us in order to attack." Shang Wen said.

"Although the defense is relatively passive, we can understand some situations, and the time obtained from the defense has given me great adjustments. For example, the integration of the resource advantages of the Western Regions, etc.." Shang Wen said.

"In the next war. The Parthian nation will inevitably stop due to the setbacks of the offensive. At this time, we will organize military forces to counterattack. At that time, commercial organizations can train soldiers in defense, and after accumulating certain experience, they can quickly Launched a counterattack and defeated the opponent." Shang Wen said.

"This idea. It's okay." Qin Wang said.

"But Majesty, this idea needs to give merchants great rights. This involves great risks, because in order to gain benefits, merchants sometimes blindly ignore risks. This is a very dangerous move." Shang Wen Speaking of worry.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"How do you think this situation can be avoided?" Qin Wang asked.

"My idea is this. When the colony develops to a certain extent, we should find a way to become a state. It is best to have such a transition method to make the transition. Otherwise, it will be really troublesome at that time." Shang Wen said .

"En." King Qin nodded.

"I'll talk about this problem after encountering it. That's right. You said that all countries should also be involved. Few people want to hear it." King Qin showed a keen interest.

"That's what I think. The current situation in various countries is just like the situation in the northern Qin State and the states in the Western Regions." Shang Wen said.

"If we can transform them according to our method of transforming the state. Or if we treat them as a state in the future of Qin, I think the problem will be mad and easy to solve." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"As a state?" King Qin asked incredulously.

"Yes, Majesty. This is what I think. If they are regarded as a country, they are indeed a country. They have their own diplomatic rights, economic rights, politics, military, culture, etc., but their Some rights are being weakened. For example, economic independence. They are moving towards professional development." Shang Wen explained.

"For example?" King Qin asked.

"For example. I found that Zhao Guo actually has a great advantage in the development of coal. If they give full play to their advantages in this aspect, in fact, commercial activities are to give full play to this advantage. If this is the case, Zhao The country will develop in coal, iron smelting, and then steel. When developing this aspect, they will fall into a backward state in agriculture accordingly. Although food is not valuable, it will not work without food." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"In addition to food, there are many things, such as education, or some unique industries, mechanical processing and manufacturing, etc. If this aspect does not develop, I think the economy of this region will easily fall into a single state, and then Vicious competition. In the end, it loses the right to speak in the economy and becomes a vassal of others. If a country loses economic independence, the country will fall into passivity.” Shang Wen explained.

"En. Go on, the widow wants to understand a little bit more." King Qin encouraged Shangwen to say.

"For example, um." Shang Wen paused and thought for a moment.

"For example, in the future, we may invest in Zhao Guo's projects in steel, or coking, chemical, or other things." Shang Wen said.

"The reason why we need to invest in this is because this area is rich in coal and iron ore resources. In addition to these, many other substances can be extracted from coal." Shang Wen said.

"Various chemical industrial salts, as well as shale gas, etc." Shang Wen explained.

"In addition to this aspect, we expect that in the future, all countries will build railways on a large scale. The construction of railways will require large-scale production of steel, cement, and various building materials. In this way, Zhao Guo will It has become an important production area for steel and cement." Shang Wen said.

"If they continue to develop on a large scale, if the market is saturated one day, their utilization rate will drop a lot?" Qin Wang asked.

"Yes, at that time we could integrate all the resources and become part of the Qin State. At that time, regardless of whether the Zhao people would like it or not, they were all working for the Qin State, earning every penny they earned in the Qin State. ." Shang Wen said.

"This is economic independence." Qin Wang asked.

"Right." Shang Wen nodded. "

"In addition to Zhao, I also plan to develop an unprecedented logistics center in Wei. For example, the southern Chu State is rich in agricultural products, silk, or other agricultural products, as well as various non-ferrous ores, copper, tin, etc. Etc. These are all necessary things for industry." Shang Wen said.

"And the South lacks coal, steel, or other resources. In this way, Wei can become a logistics operation center. The people of Wei are responsible for transporting various materials." Shang Wen said.

"En. How will the Kingdom of Yan and Qi develop?" King Qin then asked.

"The country of Yan mainly faces the northeast. This is the area. A wider area north of Liaodong." Shang Wen gestured on the map.

"In addition to this area, there is also this sea area." Shang Wen said.

"Although the place of Yan State is partial, if this area is added, it will have a great impact." Shang Wen said.

"En. The prime minister sees the long-term." King Qin applauded.

"The king said and laughed." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"It's just the north, what do you plan to do?" King Qin asked.

"You know, it's the Kingdom of Qin, not the Kingdom of Zhao." King Qin continued.

"The minister's idea is to adopt the colonial method, that is to say. We continue to draw in, digest a group of locals, and then encourage the locals to fight with the Huns, of course. If the Huns surrender or submit to us, you can, We draw troops from among them and send them to more distant places to fight alone." Shang Wen said.

"Anyway, we can't put them in their original place. If we continue to do this, we will continue to maintain a high-pressure posture until they are overwhelmed." Shang Wen said.

"This time, how about drawing troops from the Huns to attack the Kingdom of Anxi?" King Qin continued.

"En. If you can do this, you can. Anyway, they are also natural fighters, they are willing to fight, they are willing to fight, we can give them all kinds of materials, money, and then we can return these things to our hands." Shang Wen said.

"Haha." Hear this. King Qin suddenly laughed. Shang Wen looked at King Qin incomprehensibly, not only Shang Wen, even Meng Yi and Ying Yu didn't know why King Qin laughed.

"The prime minister who is widowed. He counts others everywhere. Before the Qin State used tens of thousands of troops to threaten things that could not be done, now the Prime Minister only needs to show it for a while, and all countries will come to the door to ask for the same thing." Qin Wang laughed. Speaking of.

"The prime minister is more powerful than the million soldiers of Qin." King Qin said with a smile.

"My King, I'm overwhelmed." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"No. It's the fact that everything becomes much easier with you." King Qin said with a smile.

"Yeah. Father, it's easier for you. But, your prime minister hasn't eaten yet, so he was hungry and thinking about problems all night." Yingyu said at this time.

"What?" King Qin looked at Shang Wen, then turned to ask Yingyu.

"Really?" King Qin asked solemnly.

"Yes. Look. The food has been cold for a long time." Yingyu motioned to the food on the coffee table.

"This." King Qin looked at the food on the coffee table, and Zhao Gao quickly stepped forward and touched it.

"My lord, it's cold." Zhao Gao replied.

"This. The prime minister can't do that." King Qin said, taking Shang Wen's hand.

"If there is a mistake in the prime minister, my country, Qin, will surely suffer heavy losses, and the prime minister should cherish it." King Qin looked at Shang Wen and said.

"Occasionally, occasionally." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Occasionally?" Yingyu asked rhetorically.
