Nanyang, long and narrow strait. It is the southern side of the Strait of Malacca. The pirate ship was unfortunately stranded.

"Get it out quickly!" the pirate captain shouted loudly. The pirates got off the ship and pulled the pirate ship out of the sea. The pirate captain felt that the Koreans might pass through the narrow strait. Because of such a long and narrow strait, the pirates are reluctant to pass it through, because it has no meaning. If it is a Dead Strait, they will take a long time to pass it. But Koreans are different, they are willing to take risks. Otherwise, they will not sail in deep seas, and pirate ships can only sail in shallow waters. Once in the deep sea, they are all terrified.

"Head, you said, if these Koreans were trapped in this strait, how good would it be?" Scar said with a smile.

"Sleepy?" The pirate captain looked at Scar.

"We are trapped in here." The pirate captain said angrily. Then left. In this regard, Scar is helpless.

Xinzheng, South Korea. Zhang Liang quickly ran to Han Shu's office.

"My lord, my lord." Zhang Liang came in a little panicked.

"Why is Prime Minister Zhang so flustered." Zhang Liang has always been steady, but why is he flustered today. However, Han Shu did not pursue Zhang Liang's fault, after all, this was done for Korean affairs.

"Shu Chen is rude." Zhang Liang saluted and confessed.

"Prince Wang. Look at this." Zhang Liang calmed down a little at this time, and then submitted a telegram. Han Shu took it over and looked.

"This. Is this true?" Han Shu asked.

"It should be true." Zhang Liang said.

The telegram that Han Shu saw was really the content of the Qin Wenyang Bank's telegram that Korean decipherers had recently deciphered. That's it. They still have some telegrams that have not been fully deciphered, but these are enough.

"Sir, if this is the case, I think the situation of Korean banknotes may be much worse." Zhang Liang said worriedly.

Han Shu did not speak, but calmed down and thought about something.

"The King." Zhang Liang said.

"Oh." Han Shu felt a mess in her heart. She didn't know what to think about this problem. Originally, South Korea could expand its currency demand by issuing banknotes, so that South Korea could solve the problem of currency shortage. However, at this time, Qin's idea of ​​issuing unified banknotes suddenly formed an unfavorable situation for South Korea. The impact of unified banknotes is that Zhao Guo has banknotes itself. And the other party's banknotes are under Qin Guo's credit guarantee, so the impact is very obvious. Under the influence of the unified banknotes, the banknotes between South Korea and the Kingdom of Qin Zhao may, and South Korea itself may lose the right to issue banknotes. With this in mind, South Korea is able to gather such a large amount of funds. And the problem of South Korea's own development will arise.

"Master," Zhang Liang asked carefully.

"Oh." Han Shu reacted.

"My lord, the minister believes that this news is not good for South Korea." Zhang Liang said calmly. No bigger problems can occur at this time. People should calm down first. The problem can be solved by calming down and eating.

"But there is still some time for South Korea, and there are many things in the middle that require our careful judgment. The judgment is correct and the right things are taken to implement." Zhang Liang said.

"En. I understand." Han Shu said.

"Now there is still some time, let's talk about it." Han Shu said.

"As for the banking issue, the minister currently understands a little bit. From the perspective of the root cause of the issuance of banknotes, Qin relies on the prestige of the government. South Korea currently has such prestige. Therefore, I can issue banknotes in South Korea." Zhang Liang said .

"However, at present, the situation seems to have changed a bit." Zhang Liang continued.

"What's the change?" Han Shu asked.

"Paper currency is increasingly dependent on the country's gold reserves, or so to speak. The reason why paper currency can be issued is that paper currency can buy gold, and the relationship between gold and paper currency can achieve such a proportional demand." Zhang Liang Speaking of.

"En." Han Shu nodded at this time.

"I understand." Han Shu said.

"That is to say. As long as South Korea has a certain amount of gold, it can issue its own banknotes, and such banknotes can achieve the purpose of issuance, and circulation will naturally be no problem. If there is no such gold, then banknotes cannot buy gold. If this is the case, the issuance of banknotes will be problematic and banknotes will have no meaning." Han Shu said.

"Yes." Zhang Liang nodded. The issue of paper money, Zhang Liang has carefully studied the relationship between gold and paper money. It was discovered by Zhang Liang himself who studied the currency history of Qin. After discovering this problem. After Zhang Liang saw this telegram, he slowly formed his own opinion. This telegram made Zhang Liang think again and gave Zhang Liang new ideas.

"As long as we have enough gold. Then our Korean paper money can survive. The question is, we South Korea. Where do we get so much gold?" Han Shu thought about it and asked.

"Most of Qin's gold was obtained before. They obtained enough gold through their trade, arms trade, manufactured goods trade, and various trophies. We don't have these." Han Shu thought for a while and said. . Qin's gold reserves come from the above-mentioned places. Qin made a lot of things that other countries couldn't make, so it was possible to import a large amount of gold into Qin. However, South Korea does not currently have it. On the contrary, because it has to import some technology and talents, South Korea has to export this gold. As a result, South Korea’s gold reserves are far from enough to support South Korea’s issuance of a large number of banknotes. On the contrary, because there is no gold reserve, if South Korea issues a considerable number of banknotes, South Korean banknotes have their own risks. In this case, it is easy to be attacked by Qin State banknotes. This is a financial war. South Korea does not have such sufficient ammunition. It will be extremely detrimental to South Korea, at least in this financial war, South Korea will lose itself.

"This, the minister believes that if you can get a place for gold at the moment, I am afraid that it is overseas." Zhang Liang said.

"Overseas?" Han Shu asked.

"Yes, King, only overseas, maybe we can only get a lot of gold from overseas," Zhang Liang said.

"It seems that this can only be done right now." Han Shu nodded.

"Think of a way. Increase our exploitation of the islands." Han Shu said.

"Collect relevant talents as soon as possible, so that we can speed up gold mining." Han Shu said. These are things that South Korea is currently able to do.

"Yes, Lord." Zhang Liang nodded. South Korea itself is a small country and it is impossible to have gold minerals. At present, trade is the only way, and if you want to mine gold on a large scale, you can only actively trade overseas. The demand for gold will become very large.

Qin State Xianyang.

"This is the latest Zhao Guo telegram." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"It's from Li Mu. The telegram said. The nobles of Zhao will definitely oppose the demand for paper money." Shang Wen said.

"If possible, the nobles asked to issue paper money by themselves, but how much gold do they have?" Shang Wen asked.

"We don't know this." Shang Wen replied by himself.

"However, we want Li Mu to carry out our plan." Shang Wen said. And Meng Yi looked at the telegram. Mo Li looked at Shang Wen and Meng Yi. The issue of banknotes made Mo Li believe that the current development expectations have far exceeded those advocated by the Mohist school, if these are not done well. May cause new problems. Anyway, there are new challenges and crises.

"Issuing unified banknotes is to be beneficial to Zhao Guo." Meng Yi said.

"But those nobles don't think so." Shang Wen said.

"The telegram said that nobles often form clear opinions with Li Mu. The two sides often disagree. There are few places where they can reach an agreement. If this is the case, then, when Li Mu just raised this issue, I am afraid that those nobles will Get up quickly and confront Li Mu." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"Yes, that's it." Shang Wen said.

"If this is the case, it will pose a big problem. Whose opinion will King Zhao listen to. Moreover, the disputes in it are likely to cause political discord in the state of Zhao. Then, the state of Zhao will fall into endless struggles. , This is not the situation we want to see, moreover." Shang Wen said.

"We don't want Zhao Guo to continue like this. This is not a good thing for Zhao Guo. The most important thing is." Shang Wen thought for a while.

"If this continues, Li Mu can't do anything. He has to continue to deal with these nobles." Shang Wen said.

And Li Mu thinks so too. Nobles often cause big problems, and there are quite a few obstacles. As long as Li Mu agrees with the place, the nobles will inevitably oppose, so Li Mu's prime minister's power will be greatly interfered, and this will continue. Li Mu couldn't do anything. This is where Li Mu finds it very difficult.

"To solve this problem. In my opinion, let Zhao Guo establish two political parties. Let them resolve the issue of political parties if they disagree." Shang Wen said.

"Where to argue?" This time. Meng Yi asked.

"Don't they have a parliament?" Shang Wen said.

"That is a very good place, just see how they solve it." Shang Wen said.

"Telegram. Just tell them. Let Li Mu form a political party first, then make the decision, and finally put it on the parliament, so that the nobles will not be able to proceed." Shang Wen said.

"En. Wait." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"We should add one to Li Mu." Shang Wen said.

"What?" Meng Yi asked, taking out his notebook. He is recording this.

"The House of Lords and the House of Commons. This may solve this problem." Shangwen said.

"En. Okay." Meng Yi took a note and began to draft the content of the telegram.

Zhao State of Handan.

"The prime minister. Qin Guo's reply telegram." Li Zuoche took the telegram and handed it to Li Mu.

"They came very quickly." Li Mu looked at the telegram and said.

"Yes, they have to be fast. They want to issue banknotes as soon as possible. In this way, we will be bound to state Zhao and Qin. In my opinion, the state of Qin is equivalent to uniting our state of Zhao." Li Zuo On the issue of paper money, the car is more from the perspective of Zhao Guo.

"Unification is the trend." Li Mu said.

"With the current economic situation of Zhao State, we simply cannot afford to operate like this. The Zhao State government cannot function. There are many problems with Zhao State. If this continues, it will not only be detrimental to Zhao State, but the entire State of Zhao State will be plunged into disaster. Everyone is unavoidable. In this way, we might as well change." Li Mu said.

"Yes." Li Zuoche nodded.

"The people of Qin let us form a political party. This is obviously to gather the nobles in a happy place, and then put the disputed issues in the upper house and the lower house for arguing." Li Mu said.

"This House of Lords may be formed by the nobles themselves. The House of Commons may be formed by a group of businessmen. As long as the King, the upper and lower houses reach a unified opinion. I think the problem can be solved." Li Mu said.

"This is the general content of Qin's telegram." Li Mu said.

"What do you think?" Li Mu asked.

"I don't know." Li Zuoche replied.

"En. In this way, I can reduce the focus of my argument. Every time I confront these nobles, I feel very tired. If there is a problem, let them argue." Li Mu thinks Shangwen's method is very good. At the very least, he didn't need to spend a lot of energy to persuade the ministers in the court to solve the problem.

State of Chu Changsha.

"The current ** still doesn't mean to stop. In the recent **, there seems to be signs of moving toward Changsha." Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yan worriedly.

"En. It's not a way to go on like this." Xiang Yan said.

"Yes, the current situation of our army is not so good either." Xiang Liang said.

"Food will be scarce in two months. There are also fewer winter clothes. We can only pass out some blankets. But this will not solve the problem." Xiang Liang said.

"En." Xiang Yan said.

"The situation of the nobles everywhere is roughly the same. Those rioters can't shake the defensive fortresses in the noble territory, they can only continue to looting the surrounding people. If this continues. I am afraid that sooner or later, they will attack us." Xiang Liang said.

"Is there a letter from Bo Xiang?" Xiang Yan asked.

"No." Xiang Liang shook his head.

Hear this answer. Xiang Yan frowned. In this way, Chu's problem would be difficult to solve. Xiang Yan's solution was to obtain some money through the Qin State loan to make the turnover, at least to get through the current predicament. However, Qin State has no news for a long time, which shows that Qin State still has many problems to be solved. Qin's funds are impossible to obtain.

"Thinking of a way, we must think of a way." Xiang Yan, who shouldn't have worried about funding, now has to worry about such things.

About this question. Chu State did not have a good solution. Xiang Yan is a general. For political and economic issues, this is not what he should consider. It is already a great thing to be able to occupy Changsha and become the habitat of Chu's navy.

Wuzhong of Chu State is Suzhou today.

"There are so many silks this year." A businessman in the silk business said at a street vendor.

"No, this nobleman has made the most silks this year. But, these things. No one buys them. Good things are not worth the price." A small vendor said with a grimace. Because of the needs of the Qin State, the nobles and the people here began to raise silkworms and reel silk on a large scale. As a result, the silk suddenly increased. But after a sudden increase in silk. The problem arises. Because of the blockade of the Golden Waterway of the Yangtze River. As a result, the silk cannot be sold, and the risk of sailing on the sea is very high. The northeast wind is blowing and it is easy to capsize. In addition, the icing of the port and other problems have caused a large amount of silk to be unsold in Wuzhong area. .

"How can so much silk solve the problem?" The merchant also looked worriedly at the large amount of silk that was unsalable here. If a commercial route can be opened, this is the best thing.

On the second floor of a wine shop, merchants also gathered to discuss this matter.

"Silk is sold to those who are rich. Now, the nobles have enough. However, if the north is short of this thing, if silk can be shipped to the north, it will definitely make a lot of money." A fat man Speaking of the fat businessman drinking a glass of wine.

"Earn. How do you earn?" a thin businessman said nonsense.

"Silk is now a price that no one wants. But in the north. It is estimated that the price is very high. However, it is impossible to transport it now. There are riots all the way. I heard that there is also chaos on Wei's side. There are killings everywhere, do you want to go there?" the other party asked.

"No. I don't have the guts." The fat businessman replied. For things like transportation, although the price is high, think about your own fate. This stopped him from thinking like this.

"Drink, drink," a young man said, holding up his glass. But neither of the businessmen raised their glasses. The young man can only drink by himself by raising the glass in his hand. He knew that this was a huge business opportunity. If you can catch it, you can definitely make a lot of money.

After the young man finished drinking this glass of wine, he decided to go for it.

Inside the Wei State Refugee Camp.

"Get started," a South Korean ensign officer shouted loudly.

"Hua la hu la la." The Wei National Soldier walked freely, and the things he carried with him made noises. According to the requirements of the Qin Army, soldiers of the Qin Army must carry their own clothing. Therefore, the Korean New Army also has its own outfit. For the newly established Wei National Soldier, the new South Korean Army also required it.

"Stop. Stop it for me." The second lieutenant was very annoyed when seeing the dragging Wei National Soldier walking.

"Look at what you are walking. It's just a group of dogs. They walk more neatly than you." The ensign yelled loudly.

For the Wei National Soldiers looked at the ensign with dissatisfaction. At the same time, they casually believe that the new South Korean army is nothing remarkable. Now, they have their own weapons, and at the same time, they begin to think that they can immediately go to the battlefield and teach the Wei army.

"There is no need for these, as long as we have guns, we have guns. What are we afraid of?" a Wei army militiaman shouted loudly. It is difficult for them to understand that they are walking in such a positive walk every day, instead of teaching them to aim and shoot these actions, but to walk back and forth neatly. Therefore, they naturally relax. To this. There is no disdain.

"A bunch of idiots. Stupid." The ensign cursed loudly.

"I'm training your offensive tactics, and the professor gives you discipline. There is no discipline like iron. You can't fight at all." The ensign shouted loudly. But the militiamen did nothing.

"Damn it," the major battalion commander scolded as he checked the training situation in the distance. Speaking, the major quickly walked to the ensign's side.

"Without discipline, you will have no fighting capacity. Just like your situation, you will be given even more advanced weapons. You are all in vain." The ensign continued.

"Enough." At this moment the major called out loudly.

"Sir." The ensign saluted when he saw that it was his own chief.

"Give some dying goods, what can I say." That was how the major rushed over his head and face.

"I tell you these bastards," the major cursed loudly.

"The march is in unison. Uniformity is the first step, and to achieve this step, everyone must abide by discipline. Without discipline, it is difficult to achieve this step." The major said loudly.

"The smooth-bore rifle in your hand has an effective range of only fifty steps. Within fifty steps, only half of the bullets can hit the opponent. Within thirty steps, only 80% of the bullets can be concentrated." The major said loudly. Speaking of.

"There is no iron discipline. You can't fire within 30 paces. A hundred paces away, you collapsed all at once. I saw what it was. It was a group of broken soldiers, undisciplined soldiers." Speaking of.

"That's it for you. No one will pity you, you guys who deserve to be killed." The major scolded fiercely. Then he left after speaking.

And the militiamen, look at me, and I look at you. They immediately understood that the other side’s thoughts were good. It's just that I haven't experienced such a battlefield.

After the major left. Immediately look for the combat staff above him.

"These **** Wei people, they don't even know what a war is?" the major shouted to the combat staff.

"Let's go for training, it's better to let them go directly to the battlefield and defeat the last time. Completely defeat the last time." The major cursed loudly.

"What's the matter?" a lieutenant colonel asked.

"Training, those Wei National Soldiers certainly did not obey their command, and as a result, something like this happened." A lieutenant explained.

"Haha." The lieutenant colonel said with a smile.

"Okay. Just do what you want." The lieutenant colonel said at this time. He is the second officer. Director of the Operations Division, he must draw up all the battle plans.

"What?" The major was surprised.

"Just teach them a lesson. Let them keep training, they will definitely not do well. If you give them a fight, let them study hard." said the lieutenant colonel.

"Yes. Sir. I understand." The major saluted.

"Don't thank me. This is the level they should pass." said the lieutenant colonel.
