"I'm really sorry this time." Zhang Er said to Meng Yi.

"We have repeatedly emphasized this matter many times. Why does this happen?" Meng Yi asked bitterly.

"There is no other way. For production, the conditions are much worse." Zhang Er said.

"Then the responsibility this time?" Meng Yi asked at this time.

"It seems that only we are responsible." Zhang Er said.

"However, the Wei government really has no money. I don't want to have such a big thing. 111 people died all at once, and more than 200 people were seriously injured." Zhang Er said embarrassedly. To.

"The Wei government is a newly established government, I'm afraid." Zhang Er said embarrassedly. Because of this incident, the parliament has a plan to remove Zhang Er, because Zhang Er did a very bad job, and many members complained about many things. They were very dissatisfied with Zhang Er. Zhang Er was very annoyed by this, but it had already happened and he couldn't help it.

"I'm afraid there is no funds to solve these problems?" Meng Yi asked.

"Yes, the current financial situation of the Wei government is extremely bad. Our situation. Qin should know. A government that has just been established, how much money we can have, not much, so we can do very little. "Zhang Er said to Meng Yi.

"We don't want to see something like this. But it has already happened. We are helpless." Zhang Er then shook his head and said.

"Okay." Meng Yi nodded.

"The question of funding. Think of a solution. The current lack of funds is not just one Wei State, but many countries have it." Meng Yi said.

"But, I heard that Zhao Guo's development is very rapid?" Zhang Er asked suspiciously at this time.

"That's the reason why nobles participate in it, and you, only a large number of refugees who have fled, how much money they can carry. There is a big difference." Meng Yi said.

"That's what I said." Zhang Er nodded. The biggest problem with the Northern Wei government is that they have fewer sources of tax revenue. They are mainly concentrated on commercial taxes. Unlike the aristocratic governments in the South, their taxation is mainly concentrated on agricultural taxes. They can collect in kind, but they can’t. They can only collect currency, and fiscal expenditures are also calculated in currency. Not much in kind.

"Wei's situation is still mainly aimed at commercial taxes. The development of free trade is the way out." Meng Yi suggested.

"Yes, the prime minister is right. However, we still lack funds. We need capital to do business, but we don’t have capital. Commercial banks don’t lend to the government. We cannot get loans from the financial side. There are not enough funds for commercial activities. This is very embarrassing for us." Zhang Er said.

"Then, you should give greater encouragement and encourage the establishment of a large number of commercial organizations. The emergence of these organizations is the object of your future taxation. The method of encouragement is very simple, which is to adopt tax reductions, tax exemptions, and great concessions. Policy to guide." Meng Yi said.

"Considering the actual situation of Wei, you do need a lot of funds. I can go back and discuss these, which can lead Qin's financial industry to enter. This has great significance for the future development of Wei." Yi said to Zhang Er.

Hear here. Zhang Er was very excited. It is a great honor for Qin's financial industry to help, and the huge effect brought by finance is very big. The injection of Qin's capital can solve many things.

"However, before that, I also hope that you can set up more companies and commercial organizations such as trade associations to participate. After all, we Qin State agrees to cooperate in commercial organizations, not between countries and countries." Yi said.

"This, we will do it." Zhang Er said.

"Well, finish it as soon as possible, after all, time waits for no one. Missing a little time can sometimes be a huge loss." Meng Yi said to Zhang Er. Zhang Er thought for a while, and said goodbye to Meng Yi. He is going to be busy. And Meng Yi was thinking about this matter. This time he came to Wei State to deal with the explosion incident, but he learned about the actual situation of Wei State, which allowed him to participate in the affairs of Wei State. After all, Wei State was also involved. One of the directions of Qin's future development, Wei's special geographical location, also had to be valued by Qin.

Qi State Binhai District. There are a large number of berthing ports and ship constructions in Qi. As well as business activities, more than 80% of business taxes are generated here. Although the tax contribution here is only 30%, it has greatly eased Qi's main financial pressure. Moreover, the growth momentum here is very fast. The potential is huge.

"This is a telegram from Tian Value. Take a look at it." Tian Heng took a telegram and handed it to one of his customers.

"Peace is here, and the railway promotes commerce." The doorman read.

"Yes. I later sent a telegram and asked them to explain the situation in detail. I probably knew that, in the current environment, it is impossible for a large-scale war to erupt. A peaceful environment has arrived. So fast. Development, restoration of national power, and development of national power have become a reality." Tian Heng said.

"The current situation in various countries is indeed like this." Tian Heng continued. And the doorman is thinking about these words.

"The most obvious is the relationship between Zhao and Qin. The two have eased a lot." Tian Heng said.

"Since the relationship between Zhao State and Qin State can be eased, so is Qi State, and if the number of troops remains too large, it will be very unfavorable to us. The government expenditure will be very large, and Qi State can no longer afford it. ." Tian Heng said to the doorman.

"This is what the lord said, I don't know how the lord plans?" the doorman asked at this time.

"Yeah. Follow what the telegram says." Tian Heng said to the doorman.

"Oh. There is another telegram. That telegram is too long and has not been accepted yet. When you look back, look at these things mentioned by Tian Zhi. It turned out to be a Korean businessman who thought of it, and our vision is not as good as one. Korean businessman. It's really ashamed to say it." Tian Heng shook his head.

"The commercial tax that Qi currently relies on mainly comes from trade with several countries in the west, especially Qin, which requires a lot of raw materials. However, these things. Look at us. We use wheelbarrows, ox carts, and horse-drawn carts. There are very few. The road conditions are deteriorating very much. If this continues, we won't be able to develop at all." Tian Heng woke up.

"Before, South Korea sent people several times to discuss cooperation in the construction of railways. I didn't care. I was just worried that Qin would directly reach our Qi through South Korea and Wei. For safety reasons, I did not agree, but now I see. Come, my idea is wrong." Tian Heng said.

"If we build the railway, we will be able to transport a large amount of goods, and at the same time, Qin's grain will be able to enter our Qi country quickly and solve our Qi's grain problem. This plan is very beneficial to our Qi. Moreover, Other goods transported from the coastal area of ​​Qi State can also be quickly transported to other places by rail. These are all possible, and there are many benefits to us." Tian Heng continued.

"It's just that, Lord, there is one thing, we must be clear." At this time the doorman said.

"Say." Tian Heng waved his hand and said.

"I think that building a railway requires a lot of money, but we are all in the country. We can't come up with such a lot of money. This makes us very embarrassed." Menke said.

"It's not just that. Although the lord actually controls the Qi country, the king of Qi still exists. Where is the lord's foundation? Although the railway is good, if it is not handled properly, the situation will be very troublesome. "The doorman said.

"This." Tian Heng thought.

"I heard that the Korean railway in Wei was built by the people of Qin with money. Since the Koreans can, then we can also be in Qi." Tian Heng said.

"Lord." The doorman thought for a while and said.

"Before we have a final conclusion, we'd better test it out, and build the railway with Qi country. Jointly with South Korea." Menke suggested.

"Yeah. Not bad." Tian Heng thought for a while. United Korea, South Korea has experience in this area, and Qi has promised to give South Korea Langya this place as their port before.

"In my opinion, it is not only South Korea, but also the country of Wei. Northern Wei. I heard that they are close to South Korea and Qin, and the railway from South Korea enters our Qi country directly through Wei. We need to do well for the two families.” Tian Heng thought for a while and wanted to say.

The doorman nodded aside.

On the edge of the northern grassland on the border of Qin State, here is the intersection of grassland and forest.

"Chief, we have reached the edge of the forest. We can set up signs here." A general of a few tribes said to his leader on horseback.

"Yeah. I think it can." The leader was riding on horseback, and he had already seen the forest. The dense forest looked dark. They didn't know what was in it, but he knew that with these lands, he would be able to return to the tribe's survival.

Immediately, the general waved his arms, and several tribal cavalry rushed out quickly, and then the general waved his arms again, and several cavalry marched in the other direction. They want to lay a boundary marker all around. This means that they can occupy here, and the territory here is theirs.

"Chief. I'm worried, Qin people do not agree, what should we do with their conditions?" The general asked in Chinese. A small number of tribes depended on Qin, because they often needed to deal with Qin merchants and officials. Their upper management had to learn Huaxia, and they used Huaxia to communicate, which became a means of keeping secrets between the seniors, because the people below didn't even know what to talk about above.

"The people of Qin will promise to give it to us. They have a lot of supplies. I drank with Mr. Wang that day. Mr. Wang told me that in the south of Qin, there are more southerners who are producing, and their food is piled up like a mountain. If they come, they can cover the entire grassland." The leader said.

"Their wealth is extremely rich, and their wine is as abundant as the river on the grassland. Cooperating with such a country, we can't resist at all." The leader said while looking at the forest in the distance.

"It's just." The general looked at the leader at this time.

"Just what?" the leader asked at this time.

"Qin is very rich, why don't we rob them of their property? They are very rich and won't care about it." The general whispered.

"Don't have such thoughts, it's dangerous, do you know?" The leader yelled immediately after hearing such words.

"It's just." The general wanted to continue, but the leader didn't give the opponent any chance at all.

"Qin is very powerful, so powerful that we can't beat them at all." The leader said at this time.

"You can see how powerful their muskets are." The leader said.

"Do you know?" the leader said to the general at this time.

"On one occasion, Mr. Wang and I went to visit the Qin army camp. The people of Qin were organizing training, which was the control of muskets. Their continuous fire muskets were very powerful. Four muskets were placed there, and they instantly hit a forest. To the ground." The leader said with lingering fear.

"If we change to our cavalry, our warriors will be like those woods. They killed us mercilessly." The leader continued.

"And their artillery. It's very powerful, like the anger of the heavens. It makes us unbearable. There are flames and death everywhere. If these things cover our tribe, our men, women, and children. Cows, sheep, horses, there will be nothing. For us, this is the most severe blow. We cannot bear and cannot bear it. This is the most unbearable for us." The leader shook his head and said at this time. He seemed to have seen something terrifying, and his eyes showed fear, infinite fear, which was the most worrying thing for him.

"The people of Qin are terrible. We can't beat them at all. I ask you, can you walk in front of the people of Qin by yourself?" the leader asked at this time.

"No." The general said, shaking his head.

"That's right. At present, no one of us has walked in front of the people of Qin. Without the permission of the people of Qin, we can't go there at all. There is a terrible weapon buried under them. Our tribe has tried it. A child is greedy for fun. , Ran there. What happened, was accidentally torn into pieces. The warrior of our tribe, Tubuha, the most powerful, did not have the ability to tear the sheep into two pieces. But he You can't tear the sheep into pieces, but Qin's weapons can." The leader said to the general. Speaking of this, the general was still a little scared. He was not afraid of Qin’s bullets, because in that case, he could still see, hide, and kill each other. However, the weapons buried underneath made them very scared because of this. They planted things and couldn't see them. They didn't know what exploded. They asked Qin people, but Qin people didn't tell them at all, nor would they tell them what happened. Once they pass, they will not tear it if they are not careful. Cows and sheep, children. Even some adults do the same, the lightest thing is the loss of their legs.

"Such people, do we dare to **** them?" the leader asked.

"No. We dare not." The general said at this time, shaking his head.

"Yes. We dare not, cannot, and may not dare to do it. What we have to do is to follow them patiently. They are the strongest people on the grassland. We are not. We can't do it with them at all. Yes." said the leader.

"This is also the result of discussions between our tribal leaders. Since we can't beat them, I will cooperate with them and rely on the people of Qin to become the strongest people on the grassland. The Huns are very powerful, but they can't beat the people of Qin. Similarly, As long as we cooperate with the people of Qin, then they are not our opponents at all. We have to fight against them. We are not afraid of them." The leader said.

"Yes. Chief." The general said.

"Okay. I'll talk about these." The leader looked at the forest in the distance, lost in thought, and the impression that Qin people gave him was too powerful. It is impossible for him to compete with such a powerful person. The Huns are very powerful, but they can't do anything when they encounter such a big opponent. They must rely on the people of Qin wisely. Instead of being rivals with the people of Qin, they are still very weak, so weak that they can't even have the idea of ​​snatching the other's materials.

Southern Xinjiang in the Western Regions.

"Why is his life so good that Li Xin can fight against Dawan." Wang Ben said while looking at the sand table in his headquarters.

"Sir, Chief Li's situation is not very good, his troops can only send a small amount of troops to support, and that is, his strength is insufficient, he can only defend, and the combat situation is very passive." The chief of staff understood himself. Tell Wang Ben about the situation. He knows what his own chief is thinking. He was born as a cavalry, hoping to attack, and maneuver, so he stopped and relied on infantry combat, which made him very annoyed. he does not like.

"Huh. I know you want to say that. He Li Xin has a fight to fight. We, Wang Ben, are no worse than him, but we want to defend this one. It's really hard to get through." Wang Ben said.

"Sir. You should be patient," the chief of staff said.

"Patience, what patience do I have? How long have I been here. There is no battle to fight, so I might as well go back and go hunting." Wang Ben said angrily.

"Look at what our people are like. One by one, there are no soldiers. You know what I found when I went to patrol. It turned out that a soldier in a fort was sleeping in a barracks with women from the Western Regions and soldiers on guard. , Officers drinking, playing cards at night, playing with women, morale is low, the Qin army is rare in history." Wang Ben said to his chief of staff.

"Such things are unavoidable. We haven't changed for a long time. Soldiers have stayed here for too long. There is no rotation, this is normal." The Chief of Staff complained helplessly. And Wang Ben constantly emphasized military discipline and military discipline. But repeated emphasis still has little effect.

"Report." Just then. A report interrupted Wang Ben.

"Come in." Wang Ben shouted loudly.

"What's the matter?" Wang Ben asked.

"Report. Sir, we have caught the Yue's envoy. They want to talk to our highest official." The report's staff member asked.

"Yueshi?" Wang Ben looked at the chief of staff suspiciously. The chief of staff looked at Wang Ben. They didn't know why Yueshi suddenly appeared. They didn't know why.

"Let them in." Wang Ben thought for a while and said.

"Yes, sir." The staff officer saluted. Then two Yueshi people were pushed in.

"See the general." Two Yueshi saluted. But they are bound.

"Come on, what are you looking for me?" Wang Ben asked directly when he saw that the other party could speak the dialect of Qin. You look at me and I look at you from the two Yueshi people. They are envoys, so they can't say this in salute, and they are still tied up. This is very rude to them.

"What?" Wang Ben asked at this time.

"You're all right, then it's okay, just take it out, and don't see me if it's all right." Wang Ben said angrily. Then waved to let his own people take them down. The chief of staff on the side moved Wang Ben slightly, motioning to untie them. But Wang Ben didn't seem to see it.

"We are here to ask Qin for help. We hope that Qin can send an officer group to cooperate with us, and our Yue clan is willing to donate 50,000 cattle and sheep." A Yue clan lowered his head and said.

"Fifty thousand heads. That's so much. We can't accept so many cattle and sheep." Wang Ben said with a sarcasm. The chief of staff looked at Wang Ben. He knew that Wang Ben said this deliberately. His purpose in doing this might be to vent his inner dissatisfaction. Because Li Xin has a fight to fight, he does not, which is very unfair to him.

"This, we know. You go down and rest first." The chief of staff thought that it might be detrimental to Qin State if it went on, so he stepped forward to persuade him. Let Wang Ben extinguish the fire. Calm down and talk about it.

"We Yue people need the help of Qin people. We Yue people are in an extremely difficult situation. Although we were enemies before, some people will be disadvantageous to Qin country." Yue people said anxiously.

"What's the matter?" Wang Ben asked.

"Sabbath, the Sabbath nation is attacking us. They are so numerous that they pose a great threat to us." Yueshi said.

"You can't beat them?" Wang Ben asked. Hearing this, Wang Ben was extremely excited, and he was keenly aware that this was an opportunity, a great opportunity. This shows that he has a fight to fight.

"What's the situation? Say." Wang Ben said at this time.

"We bought a lot of goods from the people of Qin, and we sold them to the country of Shah. The Shah thinks these things are very good, very good. However, they think that we Yueshi people are robbed. They know that we and the people of Qin After the transaction, we plan to attack us and want to rob our business, but we can't beat them. There are also muskets, they are in great demand. We are not their opponents at all." Yueshi said.

"You can't beat it, so you ran to our side." Wang Ben said.

"Look at your achievements." Wang Ben said disdainfully. Extremely contempt for the Yueshi people.
