"It seems that the Parthian nation is our biggest obstacle." Shang Wen said after reading the telegram.

"In my opinion, it should be the largest trader of our products. However, from the perspective of the Sabbath countries, their trade continuously exports a large amount of wealth from their country. Even in any country, this will probably not happen. The situation, but as far as the current situation is concerned, I personally think that Qin is not yet in an absolutely advantageous way to send troops. We cannot attack the overlord of Parthian nation in the Western Regions." Wei Liao said to Shangwen.

"Yeah. It seems that we still need to spend a long time to solve this obstacle to the westward road." Shang Wen said to Wei Liao.

"Yes, not only that, we also need to build a large number of railways to completely solve our logistics supply problem. If there is no logistics supply, it will be difficult for us to further expand our effect." Wei Liao said to Shangwen .

"I'm afraid this is also Meng Tian's idea. We have tested the attitude of the Tocharians toward railways before. Their attitude is to reject our proposal. However, if there is huge pressure from the Sabbath, I think they will probably accept it. Our proposal is to build a railway to support them on a large scale, and finally form the best and effective way of attack." Shang Wen said.

"Well, my idea is the same." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"When we open all markets in the Western Regions, we must resolve the huge regional hegemony of the Parthian Kingdom. This is the only obstacle to our westward trade and progress." Shang Wen said.

"This is also our strategic development direction in the future." Shang Wen said.

"Yes." Wei Liao said. The main purpose of Qin's development of the Western Regions was to provide an extremely broad market for Qin. These markets can greatly stimulate the development of Qin's economy. This is what Qin needs most urgently. However, on the road to the west, there are still large regional hegemons. Although Qin’s weapon system far surpasses the opponent, it takes a long time for Qin to spend a lot of time because of the transportation logistics and the elongated logistics supply line. Building railways to consolidate these areas, after having railways, Qin can further narrow this gap, and then take advantage of Qin's huge weapons to seize the opponent's regional hegemon.

State of Zhao, Handan.

"These are hot rolling mills, which are not very fast, but they have a lot of heat. This one is powered by a steam engine, and the heat comes from our boiler equipment." A more skilled craftsman introduced. In front of him, there are a large number of skilled workers who have just been recruited from outside. They are undergoing simple training. Because of the order from the South Korean shipyard, the production workshop of Zhao Guo’s Handan Iron Works has been expanded a lot, although the production line has temporarily been unavailable. It did not start, but it needs a lot of manpower to expand it all at once. Therefore, Handan Iron Works recruited a large number of iron factories, which greatly eased Zhao’s labor problems, and in other places, Zhao also also Actively recruit a large number of workers. Zhao Guo's worker employment problem is gradually getting better.

"The production of iron beams in Handan Iron Works is speeding up. Some of our factories can produce various iron products. Such iron products, such as iron pans and iron spoons, are not enough. We need a lot of iron. Products, popularize these things." Li Mu said at the economic conference.

"The other is to upgrade our products. This is what we have to face. No matter how much we spend, we have to import a large amount of steel production technology from Qin, and at the same time, carry out a lot of technical training." Li Mu said.

"In this regard, Zhao Guo decided to spend part of the fiscal bond funds to establish corresponding technical colleges to train talents in this field. They are all technical talents. Recently, Qin Guo is engaged in electrification. I think this is an opportunity because For electrification, a large amount of steel is needed, and we need to seize this opportunity." Li Mu said.

"Prime Minister, there are other things that we still need to pay attention to. We need a lot of money to solve all the problems completely in terms of funds provided by banks. The factory is currently expanding very quickly, and there will be a lot of foundation after the beginning of spring. The demand for facilities construction in this area will be even greater. Under such circumstances, the demand for steel will increase. We should do a good job in this area. However, in terms of funds, because the expansion during this period is very powerful, I I think we may need a larger capital chain before," the Minister of Finance said worriedly.

"Well. This is indeed a problem. Can Qin solve this problem?" Li Mu asked.

"The cooperation between Qin State Bank and our bank is very good. However, if Qin State Bank does not increase funding, the situation may be unfavorable to us, and we need to make great adjustments to achieve this. "The Minister of Finance said.

"Yeah. I understand." Li Mu nodded.

"I will resolve this matter with Qin. As long as we have sufficient funds, we can start construction. In addition, we will also speed up the mining of iron ore in the Xiangping area. The demand for iron is already Exceeding our previous estimates, the inventory of iron ore has been reduced a lot. If this continues, it will directly lead to our insufficient inventory and operating capacity, which is a disaster for us." Li Mu said.

"But the railway. The government of Yan State and Qin State control this railway. Although we have some shares, it is unlikely that Yan State will give up this rich railway." The Minister of Finance reminded.

"Yeah. I understand." Li Mu said.

"But if we control this railway, we can control all the steel. If necessary, we can produce such projects there. The cooperation is not only for profit, but also for better development." Li Mu Speaking of time. He now has a very bold vision, that is, Zhao Guo transfers the iron factory, produces iron in Xiangping, and produces a large amount of steel in Zhao Guo. This way, Zhao Guo has the need to upgrade, which is very important for Zhao Guo Great promotion, and this is a technological upgrade. This upgrade is a huge feature of Zhao's stepping into a powerful country.

"Steel, steel, Zhao country must have its own steel technology." Li Mu said solemnly. His eyes were so firm. The Minister of Finance looked at Li Mu in surprise. He didn't know the importance of steel in Li Mu's eyes. What he knew was that kind of fire-breathing eyes.
