In fact, Liu Ji still wanted to enter the stock market, perhaps because he made so much money at the first time when he entered the stock market, Liu Ji’s adventurous spirit was inspired, but because of Lu's inherent woman avoiding risks Because of the factors, Lu Zhi decided to invest in other industries. After all, this business is too risky.

Qin State Xianyang.

"You are right. Whether it is to develop the North or the Western Regions, a large amount of labor is required. We must properly take care of the worries of these soldiers, otherwise they will not be able to fight at all. And our military reforms will not continue." Shang Wen Speaking to Meng Yi. For reports submitted by the Department of Defense and the Department of War. Meng Yi's view is that we must first absorb the Huns and mountain people in the north, and then educate and classify them to achieve the purpose of assimilation. Only in this way can the problem of Qin in the north be solved. In turn, it provided a large amount of sufficient labor for the Qin State to develop the north.

"In addition, industries in the Western Regions are also under construction. We must also classify the Western Regions and take certain measures against them, mainly to change their status as slaves. As for the large amount of labor required for agriculture, we need to use Hindi. People replace them, but if this is the case, a large number of Indians will be needed. This demand will exceed our expectations." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"This is clear to me. It's just that I don't know how many prisoners of war the Yue people can provide to us. It depends on their confidence in victory. But we must first understand the North's problems before we can solve their problems. Otherwise, we I can't get too busy." Shang Wen said.

Qin State. Northern grassland. Nanmo Town. Because this is an important transportation hub leading to the Mobei Railway, many trains need to stop here to add water and coal. the most important is. This is the dividing line between the Eastern Mengzhou and the Western Mengzhou of the Qin State. What is interesting is that this small town is not managed by one of the two state governments, but by the two states together. The reason is when the railway was built. The two states are noisy, because both states know the meaning of railways. However, the Qin government adopted a method that both sides considered reasonable, that is, joint management. And adopted the method of multi-branch railway construction to balance the development of the two states.

Both states are animal husbandry states, that is to say. Both states have a large number of ranches, but the situation in Simon State is not good. The situation in East Mongolia is better than that in Simon State in terms of animal husbandry development. However, Simon State is far higher than East Mongolia State in terms of mining. Simon's economic situation is better than that of East Mongolia. The backward state of East Mongolia decided to take measures to surpass Simon State. The first thing they thought of was the exploitation of a large number of mineral resources.

In order to allow both states to have good development. Nanmo Town became a place for the two sides to sit down and talk. Members of parliament came here to talk. Sometimes the governor would sit down with each other for tea and talk.

At the two-state exchange meeting.

"The location of East and West Mongolia is too far to the north. The winter is cold and it is not suitable for people to live. There were people who came here before. Now, the population of the two states in general is constantly flowing out. The two states add up, but it is not enough. Eight hundred thousand people, this is a dangerous number." A member of the Simon State congressman said worriedly. If you want East and West Mongolia to develop. The population problem must be properly resolved. However, in recent years, the population of East and West Mongolia has continued to flow out. A large number of tribal personnel and soldiers recruited from miners are increasing. There are also some people who have migrated. There were many development opportunities in Guanzhong in the south, so they moved back. Due to the slow economic development of Eastern and Western Mongolia, the population that has moved in is much lower than the population that has moved out, which has caused the total population of the two states to continuously decline. This put the economic development of the two states into a state of stagnation.

"Without a population, we don't have enough labor. Pastures need to be guarded and grazing, and our minerals need more manpower, the number of manpower required for mining is too much, even if there is explosives, we feel that it is very good. The demand in the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin State is very large, such as copper mines. Nowadays, bullets are all made of copper, and one bullet casing costs about one or two coppers. This quantity is very large.” said the congressman.

"Not only that, but also the amount of coal. The Guanzhong area needs a lot of coal to generate electricity, but we can only provide them with some high-quality coal to generate electricity. Or come from Zhao Guo. The amount of coal needed by industry will be very large. The amount of electricity will be scary. ." Another congressman said.

"The question is, how should we develop?" a young man asked the congressmen at this time.

When the members heard this question, they all shook their heads. They don't know how to develop, and if they know, they won't communicate here.

There are so many resources in Eastern and Western Mengzhou. In many cases, there is still a shortage of talents. According to the Qin Guanzhong government, the north is only a place that provides meat, copper, iron, and rare resources. Others are simply not enough for Qin State to consider.

"I think that our development still needs resources, but the resources will still be exhausted. Therefore, we need a broader place." The young man said.

"For example, Mobei. It belongs to the border area of ​​our east and west Mongolia, but this border area has many unidentified places. For example. The forest and grassland area north of Mobei, where there are a large number of Xiongnu tribes. They need a copy. For work, we need them to mine. Not only that, we need more slaves to do such things.” The young man said.

"Young people. Tell me about your views, or we can reach a good plan to develop the economy of East and West Mongolia." The lawmakers said.

"My idea is very simple. Expanding north, the northern tribes will become our good fighters. They have sufficient tribal manpower. And we need these manpower. They also hope to develop in a place south of Monan, and the tribal life They have already begun to settle down. They know very well that they can have civilization only if they settle down, and we Qin people can bring such civilization." The young man said.

"There are many undeveloped places to the north. There are forest resources and various minerals. We should develop them." The young man said.

Hearing this, many congressmen nodded their heads, but they silently shook their heads, because the development of Mobei is not an ordinary thing. It requires a lot of funds. Only by solving the funding problem can development be carried out. The government has not expressed support for this. , They have no reason to do so.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

"This is a huge arms market." Han Shu said after seeing the telegram sent by Zhang Shi.

"I think we should do something. Or we can buy a lot of gun barrels from Zhao country and ship them to Wei country for processing. They have sufficient labor, they can start work continuously, and we can also process and manufacture gun barrels. We can produce all technical parts and components. Then they will be shipped to Qingcheng for large-scale production. We need a lot of capital, and their demand is huge." Han Shu looked at the telegram in his hand and said anxiously. For Han Shu, the new South Korean army is undefeated, but the South Korean government needs a lot of trade opportunities to promote its own economic development. This is an opportunity for South Korea.

"My lord, the minister believes that it is better to be cautious, otherwise, it will cause a lot of losses. After all, the new South Korean army is still facing the threat of the Menglais. Because of the navigation, our number advantage has not been very sufficient. In the face of the opponent’s numerical advantage, it is better for us to be careful.” Zhang Liang thought of the threat posed by a large number of Menglais to the new South Korean army. After all, they do not have such a large population advantage, but the other side’s advantage is obvious. Faced with such a situation, Zhang Liang's only way is to be cautious.

"This is an opportunity. I think South Korea should seize this opportunity. After all, there are not many such opportunities." Han Shu said.

"But it may also bring danger, sir, we have to be more careful." Zhang Liang put forward his own views.

"The Mengla people have an advantage in numbers, but we don't have such a big advantage in numbers. If the opponent has a musket and the number of cannons exceeds 1,000, our fortress will be under great pressure and the army will appear. With the collapse, we simply cannot establish the base and order we need on the Western Continent." Zhang Liang said.

"Yeah. Okay, you convinced me." Han Shu nodded. South Korea needs a long-term trade opportunity instead of facing the current dilemma. This is to find trouble for itself. Han Shu does not want such a situation.

"However, we can ask them to find out the reasons, or the Menglais are not specifically aimed at us, they may be dealing with other people, for example." Han Shu himself can't find a good reason. Zhang Liang could only send a telegram to ask Bangladesh to find such a reason.

Bangladesh. Inside the station of the Korean New Forces.

"Sir, we just got an uncertain piece of information." Zhang Dahui said.

"Oh. Let's talk about it." Zhang Shi is looking at a newspaper. This is a domestic newspaper two months ago, which is already very fast. Usually they can only use the telegram to understand the situation, but the telegram is unlikely to send them a lot of useless messages for a long time. The current telegram system is not very problematic.

"This news was obtained from the merchants. The gunpowder weapons purchased by the Mengla people in large quantities were not directed at us at all. They were only sold to northerners, mainly in the northwestern direction of the western continent. I heard that it was from the dynasty. Yes, they have turned taxes into muskets. The higher the price of muskets, the lower their taxes. They are willing to do such things. After all. This is also trade," Zhang Dahui said.

"Why did they do this?" Zhang Shi asked very curiously.

"It seems that this involves a dynasty in the north. They seem to be gathered under a dynasty, the businessman said. He also doesn't know the situation. All he knows is that the northern dynasty is going to target humans. I think it may be possible. Yes, people from the Yue family." Zhang Dahui said.

"Sir, you know, I have seen the map drawn by the Qin people. The western continent may have a land connection with where we are, and the connection may come from the Western Regions of the Qin Kingdom. The people of the Qin Kingdom have been expanding to the Western Regions." Zhang Dalai tried his best. He uses his imagination to fill in what he can see.

"Oh my God. How did you come up with these things?" Zhang Shi felt unbelievable. Zhang Dalai felt that they were connected with the people of the Qin country. The Yue people that the people of the Qin country had beaten appeared in their northern position. Makes it weird. He found it difficult to understand.

"I think this is very difficult to understand." Zhang Shi put down the newspaper in his hand and shook his head and said.

"Sir, it's really hard to understand, but it does exist. I think that's the way it is. This may be very big." Zhang Dahui said.

"Sir, do we first submit a report like this? I think that this may bring great reference opinions. This is just a speculation of ours, and then we will gradually confirm this matter. This is a great deal. Trade." Zhang Dahui said to Zhang Shi.

Because Koreans have not yet conducted a comprehensive analysis of the geography they know. The great geographical discovery has not yet begun. Many things are in an unrecognized environment. The unknown has enriched the imagination of Koreans and their adventurous spirit has become more and more bold. However, they still need to understand the world rationally. After all, many Things can't solve problems by imagination.

"Well. Well, maybe you should draft a document like this, but we need to understand why the Mengla people do this. You go to investigate, we need to summon the Mengla people to investigate. We must understand this situation.” Zhang Shi said.

"Yes, sir." Zhang Dahui nodded.

The Moon's First Legion. Li Lian's commando training ground. However, they didn't pay attention to how the commando was trained. They got a few mortars delivered from Qin. The mortar is an early model and heavy, but the shell is an improved model, a cone-shaped shell, and part of it uses a trigger fuze. The others are old models. The shell looks very heavy. After all, Qin seldom uses such things, because there is no large fortress attack, most of the battles are field operations, and few countries buy such artillery. It is said that the price is very cheap.

"Are you ready? We should give it a try." Zheng Ping said to the two chief military officers with a telescope.

"Let's start." Bai Le said. Bai Le kept mentioning the bombardment effect of the mortar cannon. They built a temporary fortress on the training ground, which was simple. They need to experiment with how powerful it is. After all, the above is completing such a military mission as soon as possible, and the Yue people have no patience to wait any longer.

"Boom." A cannon sounded. The shells flew out directly, and all three of them could feel the earth trembling. The caliber of the artillery was very large, seven inches in length. Such powerful mortar shells fired in a curved line. The shells didn’t hit far, but they were powerful. .

"Boom." A huge explosion came, and the shells hit the ground like a heavy hammer, making them feel that the earth was trembling.

"Damn it didn't hit the target." Bai Le picked up the binoculars and saw the target in the distance.

"Continue shooting." Bai Le continued to order. Then the artillery fired again, this time not too far from the target, but the target was still not destroyed. The three of them lost patience a bit. This may be the reason for the artillery, after all, they did not have a good grasp of this close-range curve shooting technique, the ballistic curve is too large.

It was not until the third round that the distant target was destroyed. Three people can't wait to check.

The stone slabs were shaken apart by the impact of the huge explosion, and the entire defensive fortress built was knocked off. This is a big shock wave.

"Well, it did a great job." Bai Le said happily looking at the bombed fortifications. In their view, as long as they hit more of these mortars, they can open the door of the opponent's fortress.

"I think the power is still somewhat insufficient, and the maneuverability is not very good, the shooting distance, although we are within the absolute safety range." Zheng Kai began to worry.

"Don't worry, the rear will send us more of these cannons. They are not powerful enough. We can use our quantitative advantages to suppress them. In this way, it will be very beneficial to us." Li Lian saw the bombed fortifications. Imitated the fortifications of the Indians. They think it should be okay.

"However, I think it’s better for us to be more careful. I think we should prepare more explosives for the commando so that they can enter it from the most important place. After all, during the bombing, we can’t get too close. We still don’t know what happened to the Indian fortifications.” Zheng Kai said cautiously.

"Okay. Let's do what you want, but I think this should be enough. At present, the most important thing for us is to wait for the cavalry force to arrive, and then launch an attack." Bai Le was already very optimistic. With such a weapon, he believes that it should be easy to take down the Indian fortress, after all, the power of such an artillery is too great.

But Zheng Kai didn't think so, because they had never directly faced the Indian fortifications. The Indians obviously already knew what kind of enemy they were dealing with, so they adopted a special strategy to suppress it. He had seen before that the people of the Yue family had used explosives to blast the gap in the opponent's city wall. But the effect does not seem to be very good. It can be explained that the Indians specially strengthened this point. Regarding this, Zheng Kai believes that they should be cautious rather than blindly optimistic.

After all, the more prepared they are, the more they will be able to win. If they are not prepared enough, they may face an extremely difficult situation. Zheng Kai decided to increase the number and power of their explosives. This is a favorable condition for all parties. Such conditions are extremely useful for all parties. The more you prepare, the greater the chance of victory. The Yueshi people don't care about these.
