"In this matter, I think that General Li Mu's approach is correct. After all, what use is it for us to ask for such a barren land?" At this time, the congressman continued.

"I object." At this moment, a thin young congressman stood up and looked at his age, which is just in his early twenties. It takes how much capital and prestige to be a congressman at this age. .

"I think that what the gentleman said just now was wrong." The thin young man stood up and said loudly. Although the voice is a little immature, but the tone is beyond doubt, such young people behave very strongly.

The young man’s name is Zhang Ping. The reason why he was able to serve as a member of the House of Commons is that he inherited his father’s estate. His father was a Korean. Later, he became a native of Zhao by doing business in Zhao. His father accumulated a lot of money. After Zhang Ping inherited the inheritance, he ran for a member of the House of Commons.

"It is of great significance for Zhao Guo to have his own colony. We should not ignore the positive side of him while seeing the adverse effects of establishing this colony." Zhang Ping said.

"We have a colony, and that colony is indeed barren, and it was sold to us by the mountain Qiang people. It may cause dissatisfaction among the mountain Qiang people, but don’t forget. Every year the Qin people can get a lot of money from the mountain Qiang people. The advantage, this advantage is trade. The trade between the people of Qin and the border tribes is extremely unequal." Zhang Ping said loudly.

"This kind of asymmetry is very common. Let me give you an example." Zhang Sheng said, waving his arm.

"A musket, the most common flintlock, I am afraid that 50 and a half cannot be sold here, but when it comes to the Qiang people in the mountains, do you know what the price of a musket is?" Zhang Sheng said loudly .

"It's hardware, hardware. The people of Qin are squeezing the blood and bones of the Qiang people in the mountains." Zhang Sheng said.

"So powerful, the Qin people are too cruel. This, how many times the profit has to be, no wonder. Qin people are willing to expand like this, if so, we can do the same. We are one gold cheaper than Qin people. Two golds. Yes, this kind of profit is also very impressive. I heard that importing muskets from the Korean arsenal is very cheap. Thirty-five and a half taels, and also sent ten bullets. In this case, this mountainous Qiang colony is right or wrong. It cannot be established." As soon as the other businessmen heard that it was profitable, they immediately changed their unwilling attitude and quickly turned to a supportive attitude.

"So, young man, I ask you, what if there is a conflict with the mountain Qiang people? You know, those mountain Qiang people are very barbaric. We occupy their land and they will attack together. In this case, we In the end, we will not be able to bear the loss and have to give up such land. What did we get in the end?" an elderly congressman asked.

"The land we bought is gone. We don't have the money to spend. What should we do? We have to spend a certain amount of money. Will the mercenaries come to fight for us?" the old man asked.

"Old sir, I ask you." Zhang Ping did not answer the old man's question.

"How did the people of Qin deal with such things?" Zhang Ping asked at this time.

"This. Qin people have not solved this problem themselves." The old man replied.

"No, we can refer to what the Qin people did in the Western Regions. They did not directly attack the Western Regions, especially the Dawan people. Instead, they encouraged the merchants to do it themselves. They withstood the Dawan people's attack. After that, the business immediately turned to their advantage, why, because the other side knew their strength, that is, we only need to withstand the mountain Qiang people, or in other words, we can stabilize the current situation without having to fight a battle, because the mountain area The Qiangs fought with the Qin army for a long time, and they did not get any advantage at all. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to say whether they will attack or not. Let’s talk about it. We are just defense, defense, and let the mountain Qiang know ours. It's great. After the top is over, we will negotiate. We can bring them great profits. More materials can bring great help. In the face of such help, wouldn't the mountainous Qiang people be tempted?" Zhang Ping then asked.

"The purpose of fighting is not to polish the Qiang people in the mountains, but to trade. Because trade is very beneficial to us. Currently, Zhao State produces a lot of iron. We have more and more iron business people, so we can sell it. For the Qiang people in the mountains. With such a supply, it is very beneficial to us. Everyone has business to do, and there is money to make. Why don't Russia and Japan get involved?" Zhang Ping asked.

"Moreover, this is the first colony of the Zhao country. There are second, third, and fourth areas in the Zhao country, and there are already more colonies." Zhang Ping said.

"Our next step may not be placed on the side of the Qiang people in the mountains. Northern Liaoning and Beihai, doing business with the mountain people and the Huns, can be sent to North Korea to do business with the Goguryeo people. There are also the Western Regions and Dawan people. , Shaman, etc. As long as we can do business, we can bring huge profits. Everyone has money to make, and the government has taxes to collect. Why don’t you support it? I think this is why the people of Qin are very willing to do so." Zhang Ping Analyzed.

"Yes. This young man is right." At this time, a congressman said in a low voice.

"I read the newspaper. The news was first published in the newspapers of the people of Qin country. Later, the newspapers of our country of Zhao reprinted such news. This news came out. And the content said that the people of Qin people sent a telegram to General Li Mu. Generals are soldiers and politicians. How could they know what our businessmen think." said the congressman.

"War can be controlled. Even if we fight, we can also fight a limited war. The purpose of fighting is not to fight, but to do business. Soldiers have to serve our businessmen. The Qiang people in the mountains think they do business with us very well. It is worthwhile. Only in this way can we be stable and establish our first colony. With such a colony, it is our trade outpost and our rear. Isn't our business still willing to expand?" Zhang Ping went on to ask Tao.

"I think the people of Qin must also be willing to do this kind of business with us. Why, because the people of Qin can get more profits, and their railway construction is among them. Otherwise, if they build railways, there is no need." Zhang Ping Then talked about. Everyone nodded in agreement.
