South Korean Navy Department.

"For Chu’s request, we have decided, and promised your request. We will build 30 arrow clippers in the fastest way and provide them to you. As for the weapon system above, this requires an additional charge. At the same time, South Korea The party agreed to lease a large number of merchant ships to transport your soldiers. But the expenses need to be paid by you.” South Korean Navy Minister Zhang Rang said with a smile.

"There is no problem with these. The price of shipbuilding is three thousand gold. Such a price is reasonable and we will accept it." Xiang Liang said.

"It's just that in terms of Western rights and interests, you want to develop more colonies. We need to respond to this request. I have no right to question this." Xiang Liang said. In order to get the support of South Korea, the country of Chu had to allow Koreans to expand their interests in the West. In fact, the expansion of South Koreans in a more southerly position in Southeast Asia did not go smoothly, because the local population was sparsely populated and only indigenous people. , It is difficult to have a larger civilization, which directly leads to the small market in South Korea. South Korea can only find other places to replace Nanyang, not only because of the relationship with the Nanyang market, the development of Nanyang requires a lot of funds, even if it is concentrated in large amounts. Mineral resources, but this requires a large amount of transportation capacity improvement and capital investment. In this regard, South Korea is extremely lacking. The Chu people discovered a huge source of trade wealth in the West.

"Naturally, this is an agreement that needs to be reached above. We are only responsible for naval affairs. As for the ships, we will provide them to you as soon as possible. Our shipbuilding speed is very fast." Navy Minister Zhang Rang said.

"Yeah. I would take the liberty to ask, if our Chu country imitates and improves this kind of ship, does the patent belong to our Chu country's right?" Xiang Liang asked.

"This, naturally, from a principle point of view, we have no right to interfere. After all, this is not a secret. The structure of the ship itself is simpler." Zhang Rang nodded and said. They had long known the idea of ​​Chu's naval ministry wanting to imitate such a ship. After all, Chu's ships were smaller than they were, and they could not carry much artillery and weight. Imitation of the ships built in South Korea was the best way.

"Well. That's great, great." Xiang Liang said with a smile. For this answer, he was very satisfied, because he met his requirements. South Korea has no objection to this.

Goguryeo Police Headquarters.

"Damn it, such a thing happened. Eight of our teams encountered an ambush." ​​Li Man, head of the Goguryeo Police Headquarters scolded.

"Our frontline keeps reporting such reports, and the ambushing opponent seems to have used some new weapons, which caused great damage to our team in a special area. According to reports from survivors, the sky is full of arrows. Rain, this requires a considerable amount of personnel to organize to launch. We think that maybe the southern tribes are already in an alliance state. Because." Deputy Minister Jin Chuan reported.

"Because without such a large number of people launching it in a concentrated manner, it would be difficult for us to have such a new type of weapon. We need this type of weapon to be provided to them by someone." Jin Chuan asked suspiciously.

"First of all, calm down. I think you are a little overly worried. They don't have advanced weapons. The weapons provided by the people of Qin are already our most advanced." Li Man said.

"Secondly, the southern tribes have not yet reached the point of alliance. They can't have that many people. They are still in a dispersed state. The tribal alliance is also a dispersed state. They are not a country." Li Man emphasized.

"Yes, my sir." Jin Chuan said helplessly.

"There are still some things we need to pay attention to, that is, someone must provide them with new weapons. This is a weapon that can fire arrows intensively. This weapon must come from Qi, and we imported it from Qi people before. A large number of weapons. Now our source of weapons is mainly from the Qin State. The people of Qi State have lost a lot of export value of weapons. Although we export some ginseng, animal skins, and other things, it is very important for the Qi State. An important material, in my opinion, Qi people are like this, it must be a new weapon provided by Qi people." Li Man said suspiciously.

"This, sir, we have to think of a way. Our mining area needs a large number of miners, and the number of miners consumed every day is also very large. We need to mine a considerable amount of gold to meet our needs." Jinchuan said. The main responsibility of the police department is to provide a steady stream of labor, then dig out a large amount of gold, and then realize the gold. This is currently the largest source of income for Goguryeo and the only way to solve the problem of finances.

"Well, I will solve this problem. We need to send a telegram like this to our chief leader, no, the highest official. This problem can only be solved by the chief officer." Li Man said solemnly. Then he waved to let Jinchuan leave.

As Goguryeo further solves the financial crisis, the main solution is to mine a large amount of gold. Qin is currently the largest gold importer. A large amount of Qin's banknotes are exported to Goguryeos. Goguryeos turn to buy a large amount of various materials. import. In this way, the main industry of the people of Goguryeo came from gold mining, but a large number of Goguryeo labors were exported to the country of Zhao, which became the most important foreign exchange industry. This has led to a shortage of labor in Goguryeo. The solution for the Goguryeo people is to search a large number of people from the southern tribes to work. This is the root cause of the further deterioration of the problem.

The telegram was sent to the State of Qin with the current soon, and Li Wending of the State of Qin was very annoyed when he learned of this situation.

"These **** southern tribes." Li Wending was very annoyed after receiving the telegram.

"It's normal to resist. In my opinion, if these southern tribesmen don't resist, the problem will be very big." Hawke said calmly after reading the telegram.

"We need to suppress, and if we suppress, we need to mobilize the army, there will be war, and war will cost money. The problem is that Goguryeo already has a lot of debt. Now suddenly such a situation arises. If we retreat, nothing will happen. No more. This is very detrimental to us. I don't want to see such a thing, and I very much don't want to see such a thing." Li Wending said seriously.

"I know this. But at present we should avoid such things. It is really impossible to use military means. This is a small-scale military operation. As long as we ransack those tribes against us, we can solve all the problems." Hawke Suggested.

"Yeah. That's right, we should indeed do this." Li Wen nodded fixedly.

"But how to avoid large-scale combat?" Li Wending asked.

"Qin State has experimented with the commando team. What is the result of the experiment? We still don’t know. However, in this regard, the mountain people are very good at it. We can hire them to do this. They are very suitable for mountain operations. We negotiate and figure out. What is the problem. Then we will take a series of measures. To figure out such things is what we should do the most." Hawke suggested.

At this time, Li Wending had calmed down. He felt that Hawke was right. The solution to the problem was to catch the troubled tribe and let them know the consequences of offending the people of Goguryeo. What they need now is to solve these problems. And how to solve it? Negotiation is the best way, because this method can solve many problems, know who the opponent is and how they do it, and then move the troops in a targeted manner to fight.

"Very well, we need to hire a large number of mountain people and give them a certain amount of military armament, and then our operations can start." Li Wending said with a smile.

"In this regard, we need to contact, but it is worth noting that we need to control the situation, we must not let the situation get out of control, in this case, we will lose control." Hawke said.

"This is natural." Li Wending said.

In the face of local wars, the State of Qin began to adopt a small-scale, limited war strategy, because huge wars would consume considerable financial resources. Although wars can also stimulate domestic demand, the current strategy is one for Qin. Kind of poison, Qin needs to restrain this impulse, so small-scale impulse, the use of small-scale combat has become a trend, or a means.

Goguryeo, who was severely affected by the Qin State, would naturally adopt such methods against the southern tribes. For them, what they need is a stable tribal alliance that can provide labor, rather than continuous wars. Seriously had a huge impact on their economy.

This is something that Goguryeo people try to avoid.

Chu State Prime Minister's Office.

"In the unfolding of trade, we need to pay attention to another thing, that is, the collection of taxes. This is our most important source of income and the most fundamental solution to fiscal problems." Fan Zeng said to Chen Ping after thinking about it for a long time.

"Is this a bit too anxious? You know, our trade has just started." Chen Ping persuaded. In Chen Ping's view, the state of Chu should have a period of peaceful transition. This period should at least be in a state of zero tariffs. In other words, in order to encourage the development of trade, the country does not impose tariffs on trade. This can effectively encourage merchants to conduct large-scale trade.

"I know this, but as far as the current situation is concerned, if we don't levy taxes, there will be no fiscal revenue. You will definitely not solve the problem by raising foreign debts. This is what we should do most now." Fan Zeng said .

"We must levy taxes, and taxation can solve the financial problem. This is inevitable." Fan Zeng said.
