"Wei State Provisional Government." Meng Yi asked Shangwen looking at the telegram.

"Yes." Shang Wen said.

"Wei has established its own government. What we have to do now is to recognize such a government, and deny the existence of the Wei government. We also identify that the other party exists as a terrorist organization." Shangwen said.

"In this case, we don't need to negotiate further with Wei Guo?" Meng Yi asked.

"En. Let's negotiate with Wei's provisional government first and see how they are doing?" Shang Wen said.

"Okay." Meng Yi nodded.

"The matter of the people of the Wei country, why are you procrastinating?" Mo Li rushed in and said to Shang Wen at this moment.

"Well, we are discussing to resolve this matter." Shang Wen said.

"Discuss the solution. Every time you delay the solution, many Wei people will be killed. Our Mo family has news from the Wei country. Hundreds of Wei people have been killed. One family connects several households. They were killed clean." Mo Li said to Shang Wen anxiously.

"In this regard, we can only express regret, but what we can do can't be any faster." Shangwen said.

"Now, Wei has established his own government. If necessary, I think they should be able to win this war on their own. The war against tyranny." Shang Wen said.

"Then provide them with supplies." Mo Li left after speaking.

Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi and felt that this matter was not so simple. The existence of a government is actually equivalent to the existence of an enterprise. Existence must have its own value. If there is no such value, then existence has no meaning.

Coastal area of ​​Yan State. Because of freezing in winter, there is not a single ship here.

"It's very cold." The shopkeeper in a shop said around the charcoal fire.

"The shopkeeper, in such a cold day, the sea is frozen. It seems that no merchant ships from Chu State have come here." A man said in a low voice.

"Yes. Without the ship, there will be no goods. Without the goods, this thing will not be sold. Our inventory is wrong. This is really difficult." The shopkeeper said anxiously.

"The shopkeeper, have you found out?" At this time, the buddy suggested in a low voice.

"What?" the shopkeeper asked impatiently.

"It's tea. In order to see the merchant ships from Chu State, I count these teas to sell well." At this time, the boy said.

"Haha." The shopkeeper looked at each other disdainfully.

"You just found out." The shopkeeper said.

"Boy. I ask you, why is this tea sold so well?" The shopkeeper asked at this time.

"This, the little ones don't know." The guy said.

"Tell you?" The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"They were all purchased by the merchants of the Qin State, and some of them consumed it themselves. The other part was sold and resold to the Huns and mountain people. The special ones are those of the Qin State who live in the north. They are also a major customer who consumes these teas." Speaking of.

"The shopkeeper, you said, why is this tea consumed so much?" the boy asked.

"That's why these northern sales are so big?" the boy asked.

"This brother, how do I know? Hurry up and add some charcoal." The shopkeeper said dissatisfied.

"Yes." At this time, the guy quickly left to add charcoal.

The north of Qin State is one of the important markets for Chu State tea sold through Yan State. Because most of this area is a livestock area, people occupy a large proportion of meat. The emergence of tea, especially the spread of tea-drinking style, made tea consumption here surpassed the Yanguo market. Therefore, most of the tea unloaded after the Chu State Merchant Ship arrived here was sold to the northern part of Qin State. It's not just the north of Qin. The merchants in the northern part of the Qin Dynasty also sold these tea to the Xiongnu area, because the Huns themselves also discovered that they also need tea, because drinking tea can bring great physical improvement.

The main fiscal and tax revenue of Yan State currently comes from commercial trade tax. Because the land is mostly deserted. The population loss is extremely serious. As a result, it will be very difficult for Yan to recover its economy. And the emergence of commercial taxes. Let Yan Guo get through the difficulties temporarily. King Yan is more satisfied with the current situation. Prince Dan of Yan Guo felt that Yan Guo's situation was very bad.

And in Chu country.

"Going to sea this season is too risky. Moreover, the northern port is blocked by ice and it is difficult to advance into the port." A merchant from Chu State said in the shop.

"In this case, the goods from the north and the south are broken?" another businessman asked.

"Oh! There is no way. What can be done continuously?" said the businessman.

"In this way, there is really no way." Chu merchants sighed. The current situation in Chu State is extremely chaotic, and Jiangbei's fighting is extremely chaotic. There are also some areas in Jiangnan that are in chaos. As a result, the situation in Chu State became more chaotic, and the economic development of the entire Chu State was abnormally unsatisfactory.

"Only some of the more stable places can maintain existing economic activities. The rest are extremely chaotic.

Qin State Xianyang.

"The military production department is now a bit difficult." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"What's the difficulty?" Shang Wen asked.

"Catkins, you know, the production of smokeless powder guns requires a large amount of such catkins, and it takes a long time for our country to produce them now." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"Military production now requires a lot of bullets. Especially Zhao Jun's demand. There is also a cost reduction." Meng Yi said.

"I know this." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"Look at this." As Shang Wen said, he handed a report to Meng Yi.

"What is this?" Meng Yi asked.

"Let's take a look." Shang Wen said.

Meng Yi took the report and looked.

"A plant that can grow floc? Is this true?" Meng Yi asked.

"I don't know, but from the report, I figured out that this may be something I've been looking for." Shang Wen stood up and said to Meng Yi.

"What kind of plant is this?" Meng Yi asked.

"Cotton." Shang Wen said.

"Not only a crop that can be used as a smokeless gunpowder, but also a new crop that can replace hemp and silk. This is an economic crop." Shang Wen said.

"If this is the case. Are we promoting it?" Meng Yi asked.

"We don't know what the current demand is, but let's give it a try. It's still in the experimental stage and it will take a long time. Pay attention." Shangwen said.

"Okay. I'll do it now." Meng Yi said. Shang Wen nodded. Shangwen saw this from a report. Shangwen had a bald headed religious figure and a detailed description. Although Shangwen was still unsure whether it was cotton or not, Shangwen felt that he should give it a try. Growing cash crops, very important cash crops. What Shang Wen wanted was how to popularize such cash crops. Perhaps it is of great significance to popularize such cash crops. Especially for the aristocratic economy of various countries.

Cotton is just a crop, and there will be more cash crops in the future. For example, rubber.

Inside the Wei State Refugee Camp.

"Our current government does not have any money. Some of them have just eaten their food and found a place where they can eat and wear. What can such a government do?" Chen Yu asked.

"Indeed." Zhang Er said worriedly.

"This is a government with nothing." Zhang Er said.

"No, we have, some of them are refugees. Wei refugees. The food seems to be given by the people of Qin. Those blankets and factories are all Koreans. All we have to do is defeat the entire army of King Wei. And we have nothing. "Zhang Er said.

"Next, we need to have our own army. I heard that Qin is engaged in militia. Do we do the same? We need to know. To support an army, it will cost more money than we expected. If we collect taxes at this time If this happens, our government will collapse all at once." Chen Yu said.

"Of course I know this." Zhang Er said.

"So, what we have to do at present is to find a way to solve these situations." Chen Yu said.

"Calm down, the current state of Wei is no longer the state of Wei before. A lot of solutions are needed." Zhang Er said calmly.

"I heard that Korea and Zhao are all obeyed by Qin. Qin, Zhao, and Han have reached some kind of alliance. This is how I listened to the introduction of Korean officers. Our next step should be more contact with Qin. Maybe, Wei China’s current predicament can be resolved." Zhang Er said calmly.

"I haven't heard of these." Chen Yu looked at Zhang Er in surprise. He never thought Zhang Er would think so much. And know more than myself.

"You can communicate more with those officers, and you will know how much the outside world has changed. I also learned about these things." Zhang Er said.

"What are we going to do next?" Chen Yu asked.

"Go to Korea, then to Qin, tell them the situation here, and then we can solve all the problems." Zhang Er planned.

"Am I going with you?" Chen Yu asked.

"No. I'll do this alone." Zhang Er said. Chen Yu looked at Zhang Er. He didn't know what Zhang Er thought. Maybe there were some secret things that he needed to do by himself.

What Zhang Er thinks is that to solve all the problems, the Wei government must not have any authority. Zhang Er is very clear that the reason why South Korea can do this is largely related to the railways built by South Korea, but he does not understand why these railways are built and what these can do. Zhang Er is not clear. However, he risked understanding the reasons for this. Therefore, he wanted to see it alone, but Chen Yu didn't understand this at all. He knows too little. There is too little to understand.
