The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 2067: Road construction is not a trivial matte

For a long time, the Huns have always been a strategic target of the Qin army’s attention. As long as the Huns move south, the Qin army will inevitably defend themselves. If necessary, they can take tactical offensive actions to stop the Huns from further advancement. Southward activities.

But the Huns went through a severe blow and a long-term material blockade, plus the Qin army and various armed forces. It was difficult to recover after the severe injury, and serious internal strife occurred within the Huns, which further deteriorated the situation of the Huns. It was difficult for the Huns to threaten the Qin army and the various federal states occupied by the Qin for a long time.

Due to the need for trade, the Qin State also relaxed trade restrictions on the Huns, and there was a large trade gap between the Huns and the Qin State. The Qin State occupies a great advantage in trade. This advantage allows the Qin people to deal with the Huns in a variety of ways, and the Huns are in a very disadvantaged position. Many of their materials need to be obtained from the Qin people, such as important For the iron resources, the Huns needed to produce a lot of cattle and sheep in exchange for leather. Such trade is very beneficial to Qin.

"A Tocharian?" Wang Ben asked from a response from a businessman who went to the Western Regions to do business.

Wang Ben’s mission is not only to clean up the horse bandits in his military jurisdiction, the Western Region Restoration Army, but also the Western Regions. This is the important factor for the Qin army to swallow troops here.

"The Tocharian. What kind of person is this? We have never heard of it before." Wang Ben's attention is now mostly on the suppression, and the fighters are still unable to draw his attention to the situation of the Tocharian. Li, but he knew that he felt a little strange, and the people of the Yue family had already surprised them very much. Now there is a Tocharian, and they don't even know what kind of person this Tocharian is. I have never seen it before, and after introducing it, Qin Guo was very surprised.

"Sir, I have a suggestion." The chief of staff suggested at this moment.

"What's the matter?" Wang Ben asked at this time.

"I think we'd better not care about Tocharian affairs for the time being, and we can't manage it ourselves." The Chief of Staff said.

"Yeah. It's true." Wang Ben nodded thinking of the current situation and said.

"My opinion is that we should focus on suppressing bandits. In addition, we have to lay cables to the border and extend it through the border. We are too far behind in the dissemination of information. In terms of transportation, the situation is very unfavorable to us if we are to use troops against Tochar or the Parthian Empire in the future. We must know that we are at least a thousand miles away from our border, and we still don’t know how far away the other side is. During this period, we must try to avoid such things from happening, and let our allies weaken the Sabbath state as much as possible. In addition, we must also collect as much information as possible from each other and increase our understanding of each other. In this case, we For a period of time in the future, we can avoid our passiveness in strategy." The Chief of Staff suggested.

"That's right. Just record it in the memo and send a telegram to the Ministry of National Defense to let the Ministry of National Defense resolve this matter. The Ministry of National Defense should be responsible for things like road construction, right?" Wang Ben asked the Chief of Staff.

"Yes, it is true." The chief of staff nodded.

"Okay. Just send a telegram to the Ministry of National Defense." Wang Ben nodded in agreement.

Qin State Xianyang. Within the Ministry of Defense.

"Road building is not a trivial matter." Wei Liao, the defense minister, said after seeing the telegram sent by Wang Ben.

"The Ministry of National Defense does not have a considerable amount of military expenditure to build roads. It has already spent a lot of landmines. Let Shangwen handle this matter." Wei Liao drafted a telegram and sent it aside to Shangwen.

Zhao Guo, Handan, House of Commons.

"The money to buy land seems very cheap, but I think that there are cheap things we still don’t do. You must know that the current government’s financial situation is very bad, plus the continuous opening of railway projects. If you buy land, Although we seem to be able to get some supplies to these mountain Qiang people, if the size of the funds is large enough, do we have to continue. How to solve the money will definitely be taxed from us, once it is raised Commercial tax, what benefits does it have for us?" A businessman stood up and raised his objection loudly.

Some sensitive businessmen frowned when they heard that taxes were to be imposed. At this time, it was no longer a patriotic thing. It is related to their immediate interests. Everyone knows that the government does not have this money, and it is impossible to spend this money. Military expenditures are very low. Buying land with a sum of money is how such a thing is possible. The only solution is to levy taxes. If taxes are levied, their businessmen will definitely not be able to escape. Why? Because they are the richest, they only need to raise taxes by a percentage point, or this problem can be solved, but the businessmen will spend a lot of money. The current business is good and everyone is doing business desperately. At this time, the business tax will be increased. The merchants will definitely not agree,

"I won't agree to this. I don't want this land anymore." A businessman who had previously strongly supported leaned back on his chair. At this time, he began to hesitate and preferred to oppose it. Because they have to let them pay for the land purchase, this has seriously harmed their interests, and they are not happy with their own interests.

"Finance must not be able to spend this money. Without this money, how can I buy land? Also, everyone should pay attention to that it is some mountain Qiang people. If other mountain Qiang people are dissatisfied, what will happen?" At this time, the merchant councillor Asked loudly.

"They will attack us. If they attack, can we lose such land for nothing? No way. Our only way is to send troops to fight them. The mountainous Qiang people live in the barren plateau. The land is simply planted. There is no food, only cattle and sheep. In places like this, we have to fight against them. This will make our military expenditures soar, and in the end the finances will not be able to spend money. It is our businessmen who can solve the problem, and the problem is ultimately ours On his body, such patriotic behavior is too costly." The congressman shouted loudly.

For such vital interests. The lawmakers began to worry. They worried that real things would happen to them, and that they would spend their money in the end, occupying a place where birds do not shit. Such a place is a loss-making business for them.
