"The widow doesn't understand why we must occupy such a piece of useless land. We, the State of Qin, can solve this problem completely without spending money." King Qin asked Shangwen in confusion.

Of course Shang Wen could not say. Afghanistan occupied by the Yue people is the imperial cemetery. Many hegemonic countries have tried to control this place for a period of time. The British Empire, Tsarist Russia, and later the United States have all tried to control this place, but in the end, most of them have come back. And the money spent has led to a series of economic crises. Some countries are disintegrated for this reason. Although Shang Wen is not sure why he called such a place this way, he believes that Qin should not use force in this place, but can solve it in a peaceful way, which is the best way. .

"Yeah. That's how it is." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"If the two large-scale wars that will erupt in the future are in the Western Regions, they must be between Dawan and Yuezhi. Or the rest of the country after Dawan." Shang Wen proposed these two hypotheses.

"Yeah." King Qin nodded. Meng Yi listened patiently. Other ministers were also listening, including Feng Quji, who was a core member of the Qin King's cabinet.

"Such an assumption is absolutely valid." Shang Wen said at this time.

"However, there is one thing we should pay attention to, that is, Qin must face two large-scale battles. But after exceeding, Qin has to be cautious. Therefore, I decided to be between Yueshi and Maurya Dynasty, Take a gentle approach, that is, buy the land of the Yue people by buying. In this way, the Yue people can use their troops on a large scale if they have funds. They can buy equipment and weapons when they have money. Ammunition, purchase all kinds of logistic materials, and then grab population and resources. Keep moving forward. To reach the Peacock dynasty further south." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah. This is one way." King Qin nodded in agreement.

"At the same time, it can also stimulate Qin's military production and the production of various materials. Yes, it is a very good way." King Qin said.

"But why must we buy that useless piece of land? We can get it without spending money." Meng Yi said.

"This piece of useless land has extremely high strategic value." Shang Wen said.

"The place occupied by the Yue family is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Yue family wants to use force, if the Yue family resists desperately to the end, the Qin army will spend a million troops, and I am afraid there is nothing it can do." Shang Wen said solemnly.

"And in this place, you can attack the rear side of the Dawan country by going north, and at the same time attacking the Kingdom of Peace, and going south, you can attack the Maurya Dynasty. And it is an important channel to open there. You say, such a place is not important. If you spend the army to If you fight, Qin’s entire finances are likely to be exhausted, and at the same time taxation will be increased. This will cause greater turmoil in the social order. Spending a sum of money like this. I personally think that it is very, very cost-effective.” Shang Wen emphasized To.

"Well. The widow remembered. The place occupied by the Yue people is mountainous, and the battle is unfavorable. Even Qin relies on railways to maintain logistical supplies. But where are those railways built?" King Qin asked.

"No matter where it is built, the railway is likely to be attacked by the Yue people. Qin must avoid such a situation as much as possible. Moreover, it is extremely difficult for such a place to survive. This is for the Qin and Yue people. , Are places where you don't want to survive. Qin Guo spends money to buy such a place, but in fact only buys an important ticket that can open all directions." Shang Wen emphasized.

"Well. I think it’s a good place to spend money to buy a place like this, and the money finally comes to our pockets. It’s not just these. The people of Yueshi think that they can have a good choice of places. Superior weapons, but what they didn't expect was that they were all in our calculations." King Qin said with a smile.

"The money is worth it. It's worth it." Qin Wang said with a smile.

Outside Xianyang Palace.

"If the money is spent, how do you and I explain it?" Meng Yi asked Shangwen.

"You think of a way." Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi and said.

"I want to find a way, I can't say, we Qin State spent money to buy a piece of land that does not grow grass. In that case, you, the prime minister, will not be able to continue." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Furthermore, it is a special period of the general election. If it goes out, your vote will go down in no time. At that time, we were too late to cry." Meng Yi said with an extremely distorted expression. He especially hoped that Shang Wen would stay in the prime minister's position. The longer he stayed, the better, because in the current situation, only Shang Wen could handle all kinds of things.

"I think, let's do this, we will assist those Yueshi people in the form of assistance in order to obtain greater profits. What do you think?" Shang Wen said. Everything that Qin Guo does must be explained to the media. Otherwise, once the media is held accountable, officials will not be able to parry it. Meng Yi is also afraid of such things, therefore, Meng Yi needs Shangwen to give a reason.

Qin State Xianyang.

"What kind of goods are these. Why are they smelly?" A customs officer from Qin State arrived after checking the carriage. These carriages are all going abroad. In order to prevent the outflow of technology and other important materials, Qin State has adopted extremely strict inspections. Each carriage must undergo strict inspections before being released.

"He, they are not cargo." An officer of Captain Zhao Jun explained to the side.

"What is that?" the customs officer asked.

"Yes. It's a Qiang from the mountains." Captain Zhao Jun explained.

"Mountain Qiang people? What do you want mountain Qiang people to do?" the customs officer asked.

"This. A slave of the country. Our military also needs such a thing." The captain explained.

"Well. We need to check, and they may carry a lot of diseases. I think you should clean them." The customs official said.

"This." The captain was embarrassed.

"Please check, we can reach Handan in only one and a half days, one and a half days. We slaves need urgent use." said the captain officer.

"I'm worried, but I can't do that. These slaves are the most vulnerable to disease. We must be responsible." Customs officials asked.

"Damn it." The captain was annoyed. The task he received was to transport these mountain Qiang people to Handan, so that they could receive training in Zhao State and become another kind of army of Zhao Jun. His task was very urgent. He had already consumed a large part of his time, but he didn't expect it. , It will be delayed for a longer amount of time here.
