Such an application was quickly submitted to the local town government, but because of this idea, it was too bold. The mayor was difficult to decide, he decided to respond to the state government, and he hoped that there would be a clear answer.

The mayor is very clear about the impact of doing so. Farmers from the entire northern region will madly enter the Western Regions. Farmers have a large number of slaves in their hands, including the aggressive Huns, Donghu people, and mountain people.

"Mr. Governor." The town mayor finally saw the Governor of Simon State outside his office.

"Oh. It's Mayor Guo, the mayor of Xisha Town." The governor shook hands and said.

"Governor, how is our business?" Mayor Guo asked immediately.

"This has to go through the state legislature. This matter is really too big. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the federal government to pass it." The governor said apologetically, waving his arm.

"You know, this matter is very big. It involves the issue of minority soldiers fighting, and fighting is a very complicated issue." The governor said politely.

"I think this matter should be decided by the Parliament, but I think this is a good way." The governor said to the mayor. The governor thinks this approach is very good, especially for a state like Simon State, which is dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, where income from farms and ranches is the main source, and the financial situation of the entire state is very unoptimistic. Parliament has repeatedly emphasized the need to increase the construction of some infrastructure, but the entire state does not have a good financial situation. Under such circumstances, they can only give up. Now, such a proposal is actually to bring abundant taxation to the entire Simon State, and the governor has no reason to reject such a good proposal. However, he could not decide on such a complicated issue. So he drew it to the state legislator. At the same time, he also sent this idea via telegram to the prime minister's mansion far away in Xianyang.

"If you want, you can come over in the afternoon. The state assembly will discuss this matter. If it can be voted through, it is the best thing." The governor said to the mayor.

"Thank you. I am very willing. Is it this afternoon?" the mayor asked.

"Yes, one o'clock in the afternoon. You can come over." The governor invited.

"Okay, I will come." The mayor said.

Qin State Xianyang. Shang Wen is looking at this telegram.

"The content of this telegram is consistent with what we want to do." Shang Wen said after reading the telegram.

"It's just a different way, nothing more." Shang Wen commented.

"Do you need to make some decisions, or is it a reminder?" Meng Yi asked.

"En." Shang Wen thought for a while.

"No. We can see the result at last. This is the matter of the state government and the state assembly. In the end, it is enough to report this matter. Specifically, they will make a decision." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"We have to solve the problem of railway transportation." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

Simon State, the state legislature. The state legislators are having heated debates.

"Those **** Huns, they are a group of unfamiliar wolves. Such a group of unfamiliar wolves, let them go to war, but it is delicious not to let them bite us. I would rather take a group of dogs to fight. , I don't want to fight with such an unfamiliar wolf." A lame representative stood up and said. But when the governor spoke out this proposal, he was the first to stand up against it. This congressman is from Qin Guoguanzhong. He was the first from the Qin country to come here. He fought the Huns and fought against the Huns. His legs were crippled by the Huns. Therefore, he had extreme hatred for the Huns. In this matter, he thought I didn't even think that it would be difficult for the Huns to go to the battlefield, because the Huns were rebellious and difficult to tame. Such a distrustful opponent would go to the battlefield. For the army, it is a hazard, and such hazard will cause great trouble.

"I know that you have a prejudice against the Huns, but I hope you will not look at these Huns with prejudice. There are also good people among these Huns. They fight bravely. If you can tame them, they will be forever. Be loyal to you, they are the best warriors and the best knights." A graceful member stood up and said to the lame member.

"That's right." A congressman in his fifties said from the side.

"They are indeed very brave. There is nothing to say about fighting. They beat those **** Donghu people, and one person can defeat a group of Donghu people. We are alone, fully armed and armed with rifles. We can't do it at all." Speaking of.

"You can try. Their courage is commendable. In terms of loyalty, he is more loyal than your dog. I'm sorry. This analogy is very bad, but it is true." Speaking of.

"Yes, these Huns really seem to be the best fighters. This time we are going to the Western Regions and Western Regions. The Western Regions are the same as ours, and there are vast grasslands. I heard that there are still big In the desert, such a vast terrain combat area, only the Huns who are familiar with the grasslands and cavalry will have this opportunity, but we have to rely heavily on our logistics supplies, think about it. Do you have money? Can you have this opportunity? How much is it to buy logistics supplies. This is an unacceptable fact for us.” said a shy congressman next to him.

"That's right. Fighting is actually doing business. If we go by ourselves, first of all, the toll is very huge. Train transportation is our only choice. From here to Xianyang and then to the Western Regions, the journey is far away and it is difficult to supply supplies. The worst thing is that after we pass, all these costs will be higher. If we don’t get anything in the end, we want to lose money. This kind of business will sell the farm. All the cattle The sheep can only be dealt with to repay the debt, this kind of business. I don't think everyone is willing to do it. If you give it to me, I don't want to do it." A businessman said like this.

"But if you change to the Huns, I think this kind of problem can be solved." Said the business councillor.

"The Huns were originally suitable for cavalry combat. This time the combat terrain area has determined that only cavalry can be used, and infantry will have great restrictions. First of all, such a vast combat area will be difficult to carry out." Said the business member. .

"Let's talk about mobile warfare." The business member went on to say.

"The Huns are good at cavalry warfare. We admire their cavalry warfare. They can eat and drink on horseback for several days, but we can't. They can drive cattle and sheep to fight, and they can eat meat. They can drink horse milk wine. They rely very little on logistics. Coupled with their strong folk customs and adaptability, they are fully adapted to fighting in vast areas such as grasslands and deserts. This is very difficult for us Qin people. We Only by spending a lot of money and building a huge set of logistics supply stations can we proceed. All of this is difficult for the military to complete, let alone us, our costs are very limited." Said the business councillor.

"Not only these, there are people, if they die in battle. We need to spend a sum of money, which is also unacceptable for us, but the Huns are different. They don’t care about this, as long as they rob the property. They can make up for it. In their view, fighting is their life. The Huns can easily be replenished. If not, they can replenished the mountain people. They all fight, but we, the people of Qin, must fully consider. Combining these factors, I think the use of these minority soldiers is the most cost-effective business." Mr. Potbelly said at this time.

"Everyone, you have also learned about Qin’s policy recently. Qin’s policy requires a large number of trading companies. The first step for these trading companies is to open the market, and the way to open the market is war. If we can open up more places. , I think the situation in our state will be greatly improved. At that time, I think our infrastructure, such as the idea of ​​building a railway and highway network, will be realized." The governor stood up and said at this time.

"It seems that this can only be the case." The other congressmen began to communicate with each other at this time.

"Think about it, how much money we have to spend to hire people and get weapons. At least our family has to sell fifty cows and more than twenty good horses. This is really too difficult for us. "A congressman said privately. Faced with such a wealthy opportunity, they are naturally unwilling to let it go, but in the face of high costs, they will stop making progress. If a cheap cost is given at this time, they are naturally willing to do so.

"Those Huns also spend a lot of money, think about weapons." At this time, a congressman said worriedly.

"No, those Huns don't want to use muskets. Even if they use them, they can't use the best. They still like their original weapons, bows, arrows, spears, and knives. These weapons have already entered the museum. We give them. What they will bring us, a lot of loot, and the control of the entire market. We can sell many things to the locals." The councillor said excitedly.

"Are they willing?" the congressman asked. But no one answered. After some intense private discussions, the governor suggested a vote on this issue. Because it is difficult for the governor to decide such a decision.

The final vote was that of 123 votes, 93 votes to 21 votes. The rest voted to give up. With 93 votes in favor, Simon State decided to allow these minority soldiers to participate in their trading company's operations against the Western Regions. At the same time, they reported the matter to Shangwen, hoping to get Shangwen's approval.
