Seth Country, the South Korean Safety Zone, the population here has expanded to more than 20,000 people, but they are not worried about food and other things. The Seth people established their coastal ports under the planning of the Koreans. The camp was also expanding, and some Seth merchants also began to gather here. Guo Xiang was very satisfied with this, but there was still no South Korean expedition, and the merchant ship came over, which made them feel very helpless, although they had already sent someone to contact him. But now there is still no news, which makes him very anxious.

"Why? Is there no news yet?" Zhang Bi came over and asked.

"No, there is no news, you know. Ships are not sailing as fast, unless it is an airplane, but the airplane can't fly this far. The current situation is really worrying. We don't have any support, but we are resting in peace. People are on our side, and we have not participated too much in the war of the Seth people." Guo Xiang said.

"Yeah." Zhang Bi said.

"The situation of the Parths is also very bad. Their attack on Baghdad received a lot of resistance and suffered heavy losses. They lost a large number of cannons and muskets. It is said that the Seth people have learned to use trenches to defend the muskets. Now the Parths retreat. At a position of more than a hundred miles, he started to hold his ground, but the consumption of ammunition was very alarming, Hazabi thought. Let us tell them the secret formula, which is the formula of gunpowder, but I only told him a civilian version. Those gunpowder used to make firecrackers, as to whether they can find the most suitable formula, it's up to them." Zhang Bi said.

"You told them the formula of gunpowder?" Guo Xiang looked at Zhanbi in surprise and said.

"Yes. I told them, it's just a civilian version. Don't worry, the ammunition they need will still be imported from us. Many weapons are no longer suitable for use by the rest." Zhang Bi said.

"But the Shabbats have also given us a lot of benefits. For example, we can trade with the Seth people, and we can trade with them. The city of Basra may not be rebuilt. Our port is the new city of Basra in the future." Zhang Bi said .

"Well, I don't know what you think. I am still not interested in these. After all, everything here is too strange." Guo Xiang shook his head and said. There is no way. There are not many people who can speak Korean here. Although the Seth people are constantly studying, but there is no news from the local people, Guo Xiang is very anxious. He is not interested in anything.

"Hehe, I know what you have, let me tell you, where do those black people come from?" Zhang Bi said with a smile.

"Black people, do you mean those black people?" Guo Xiang asked.

"Yes, those black people. I know where they come from. Hazabi told me." Zhang Bi said.

"Where are they from?" Guo Xiang asked. This may be his only interest. He thinks that those black people are very strange, because their skin is very dark. I don't know, Guo Xiang thinks they come from a coal mining area.

"They come from Africa. This is what the scholars of the Seth people told me, and it is also a name for the Shabbat. To the west, there is a place called Soma. There are black people there, and they have dark skin. It may be that the weather there is very bad. Spicy, it’s arid there, but it’s next to the sea, and walking northward, the skin of people there will gradually turn white, but there is a large desert, or it’s next door, but it doesn’t matter, there is a river there and it flows directly into the other There is a place called the Mediterranean, what is there, the place of the Silas, we don’t know those places anyway, there is only one way to get there. That is the road to Baghdad, and there is another one that needs to cross the desert along the way. It's all hot sand, which will steam people dry. Few people pass by, and half of them don't want to go there." Zhang Bi said.

"Oh my God. I don't know what you said. I have never heard of them. How do you know these?" Guo Xiang asked, there is still an element of adventure in his bones.

"Don't worry, communicate with those Seth scholars, learn their language, and they also learn your language. In this way, the communication speed will be much faster. So, you know, it doesn't take a long time to know this. "Zhang Bi said lightly.

"You are really amazing." Guo Xiang admired. Then he started to learn the local language, and actively communicate with those who are learning, maybe this is the best way to pass the boring time. However, some civilizations began to spread under the exchange of Koreans, such as tea, silk, and muskets, as well as optical telescopes brought by glass, etc. Many things of Koreans have attracted the attention of Seth scholars, even though they They think their language is more complicated, but the science and technology they master is amazing. So the two sides are communicating closely.

Shabbat. On the outskirts of a desolate small town, the rest people here are in a hurry, because there are rest cavalry stationed here, and there are some people from the Qin country who are busy checking their routes every day. Or to report something, they don't know what these Qin people are doing, but they know that these Qin people can use magic tricks. They can quickly spread what you say thousands of miles away. As long as it makes a ticking sound, it can reach far, far away quickly.

This is a telegraph station of Qin State. The cable line needs to be laid further because it is buried underground. The amount of work may be relatively large. Fortunately, there is no shortage of local labor, but they don’t have many cables. Qin State issued a statement. With more cables, they are teaching local telegraphers to learn, but unfortunately the language barrier hinders the possibility of fast learning. They can only teach a little bit, and then boringly tell the country about the situation here. The country seems to be very interested in these contents. However, today the telegraph station got an amazing news unintentionally, that is, the offensive of the Parthians seems to be a bit unsuccessful. They have encountered a big problem somewhere and they need more ammunition supplements. This news, although not very Detailed, but shocking enough, the telegraph station decided to send such a message to the State of Qin, which may be very useful to the country.

Inside Meng Tian's office. Meng Tian, ​​who is in charge of the Western Regions affairs, has always received little news, and Qin's influence is not much deep.

"The Yue people can only break the current situation by choosing a new attack location. The Indians are not fools, they know that once the Yue people enter their depths, they will cause great damage to them." Meng Tian told an officer. Speaking of.

"However, the initiative is in the hands of the Yue people. If the Yue people want to choose where to break the gap, they can break the gap. In this regard, the Indians can only passively defend, otherwise, they will not be able to solve such problems. "Meng Tian said.

"Well, this matter, I think, the Moon Command will have its own consideration. However, today we sent a strange telegram from the Parthian nation. The telegram only said that the offensive of the Parthians was not very smooth, but it was specific. It didn't point out where it went wrong. We don't know the details. This telegram can only know such things." The officer said.

"Oh." Meng Tian took the telegram as he said, because the telegram station did not receive much news, so there was very little they could do.

"Understanding this matter in detail, it means a lot to us." Meng Tian said. He was keenly aware that things might surpass Qin's expectations. What he didn't expect was that the Kingdom of Anxi would be defeated in the war. It was a pity that Qin knew too little. A lot of content happened without knowing it. Wait to know. It was already a long time too late to react, which made Qin Guo very passive. He felt that Qin should improve in this respect. Or radio can help them solve such problems.

Qin State, Xianyang, Xianyang Communication Company.

"This is a new technology. We can achieve the purpose of communication without too many cables. I think, as you all know, radio technology has always been a secret technology of the military. However, this technology has been transferred recently. Into the civilian use, the technology patent runs for civilian use." said a radio engineer waving his arm. He is the owner of radio technology patents. Unfortunately, radio did not bring him much revenue from technology patents, because this technology has been under the control of the Qin military, and the military uses very little radio technology. This greatly affected his income, but he did not give up.

After the expeditionary force's experiment, the radio has proved to be reliable. The next thing is relatively simple. That is to promote this technology, which requires the support of some communication companies, so he decided to find such investment partners.

"We already know about the expeditionary force. The radio has indeed played a big role, but at present, we are worried that it is not stable enough. You know, it takes a lot of money to build a lot of electrical towers. And this is a new one. Technology, we are worried, he is not stable enough, if there is a large-scale technical applause, I am worried.” The manager shook his head and said. He does have a great interest in new technologies. However, some technologies can bring profits, and some technologies can also bring disasters. If large-scale investments are made, if there are technical difficulties or risks, then there will be Brings great disasters. In the face of such disasters, it may be difficult for companies to operate. In the face of investment, some communication companies may invest funds in relatively safe places, such as cable lines. The technology is very large and requires a lot of funds, but it is reliable and can guarantee the integrity of the communication. The radio relies on invisible wireless telegraphy. Who knows if this thing will not be able to be transmitted due to some obstacles. This is their most worried place. So, they decided to promote this technology steadily, and after perfecting it, they were deciding to invest.

"This. This technology is very complete, I can guarantee absolutely, you know, we have tested hundreds of times. And the military has no mistakes. They think this technology is completely free of any loopholes." The engineer Strictly speaking. Seeing that the other party doubted his own technology, he felt very annoyed, but annoyance was of no use at all. The other party did not change their attitude at all, and they still doubted the reliability of this technology.

"Okay, so full, I think you are too conservative. You have to pay for your conservativeness." The engineer left here annoyed, and the manager shrugged helplessly, as if he had expected such a thing to happen every day. They will all encounter new technologies. Some engineers claim that they can let the light help them spread the information. As a result, they received nothing. This may be a liar. If you invest rashly, it may bring great losses. What they have to do now is to avoid such losses.

State of Zhao, Handan. The poor workers were a little bit angry.

"Damn it, those rich nobles, a bottle of wine they drink can help our children build a good school, the cost of their women's maintenance, a bottle of perfume, can make all children have textbooks, but These blood-drinking guys didn't even give us any money." A worker scolded while looking at the newspaper in his hand.

"There is no alternative. Whoever lets the factory be opened by others, unless you don't want to work, otherwise, it is best not to do such a thing." Another worker said. The newspaper reported that Li Mu was impeached. The members of the House of Commons are relatively neutral. After all, many of them are still involved in the sale of consumer goods. They are the actual operators. If taxes are imposed, their business burden will be relatively large. The factory owners didn't care about this because they didn't get actual benefits. For example, the cost of school and apprenticeship is relatively low, but the application of knowledge is relatively small. At present, most of them are obtained through technical cooperation with Qin people. On the other hand. If consumption is restricted, the products they produce have nothing to do with them. After all, their products are cheap products, and their profits are inherently low. They have little to do with them. Under such circumstances, merchants, small and medium-sized factories The House of Commons, represented by Zhao, has basically remained neutral, while the House of Lords has a large amount of mineral resources and factories because of its relatively large consumption. Therefore, they are extremely opposed to Li Mu's taxation. However, they impeached the other party to step down on the grounds that Li Mu levied taxes indiscriminately.

However, the broad working class was extremely opposed, but their voices of opposition were not met. Because this has a lot to do with their vital interests. Many of them have children studying in the school, but their educational resources are very scarce. This directly leads to their learning is not very high, or in other words , Their learning resources can no longer get them out of their current predicament. They hope to get better learning resources. Li Mu’s purpose is to do this for them, so the working class supports Li Mu, but such support cannot avoid impeachment. occur.

Inside the prime minister's house. Li Zuoche was very anxious. Seeing the impeachment sent by the House of Lords, he felt a headache, but Li Mu was not nervous at all.

"Haha, don't have a headache. This matter, what should be done, should be done, Zhao Guo's resources cannot be wasted on this." Li Mu said solemnly. Then left. Today he is going to the parliament to face the accusations of members.

"Hey." Li Zuoche was very annoyed, but he was helpless, because it was the parliament, the national parliament, that controlled and restricted the power of the prime minister.

South Korea, Xinzheng.

Han Shu just shook her head after seeing the matter about Li Mu's impeachment.

"There is nothing wrong with Li Mu's idea. If the people's wisdom is not enlightened, Zhao's development will have no future. As you know, Zhao has many technology industries, and these technical departments require a large number of technicians to carry out innovation. If there is not so much Zhao Guo can’t develop at all. Can it be that Qin’s technical cooperation alone can solve all the problems? It’s impossible. How could Qin solve their own technical problems? So, in the end, they have to rely on the people’s wisdom. Solved." Han Shu said.

"But what is needed to open up the people's wisdom? What is needed is education. In this regard, Zhao's investment in this area is obviously disproportionate. In contrast, the Zhao nobles have a lot of resource advantages, and they can earn every day. Take a lot of money, but the result is that they are not willing to invest in education at all. This is a short-sighted, a stupid idea." Han Shu commented.

"However, the prince, the minister thinks. Li Mu's idea is correct, but the method of doing it is not flexible enough, not wise enough, or in other words, politically, there is no flexibility, which makes him fall into a passive position, perhaps, Li Mu I feel a little anxious about his thoughts." Zhang Liang, who was on the side, said after hearing this.

"Oh." Han Shu felt very curious when he heard this view. She looked at Zhang Liang and motioned to the other party to continue speaking.

"If these nobles can be guided to donate, such as gaining fame, they can continue to serve as members, or threaten to dissolve the House. In this case, those members will have to donate for their own reputation. Perhaps they can take the form of publicity orders. Through policy support . To guide donations, and Li Mu’s forcibly collecting taxes like this will target everyone, and donations can be divided into measures. Although Zhao’s domestic politics is not very good, the use of this method can get a lot To improve, if Li Mu's move is not good enough, it may cause huge political fluctuations, which will affect the situation in Zhao State. Once the situation becomes turbulent, I am afraid the situation." Zhang Liang said, shaking his head.

"Well. It seems that Li Mu's war is okay. This political struggle. I think he should forget it." Thinking of this, Han Shu felt that Zhang Liang's words were very reasonable. Faced with such a situation, Zhang Liang's analysis was very good. Is correct. Li Mu is indeed in an unfavorable situation in the political struggle, and he has very little experience in struggle.
