Yan State, Prince Dan's Mansion. A news report caught the attention of Prince Dan.

"In the north, is such a thing true?" Prince Dan asked bluntly.

"This." The Secretary of Defense was at a loss. He didn't know such a thing. In the north, many places were anarchy, and government officials didn't even know what happened.

"Well, I think, you may not know what happened. What I told you is that one of our wood processing plants was attacked by mountain people and they attacked our wood processing plant." Prince Dan was extremely annoyed. Speaking of.

"This." The Minister of Defense didn't know what happened. He didn't know why the mountain people attacked a timber processing factory in Yan State.

"This timber processing factory has always paid us taxes, but now they have a problem, but we don't know. If it weren't for the news media to report such a thing, we might never know what happened." Prince Dan restrained Speaking of my own temper.

"So, now, I need you to tell me how to solve this matter?" Prince Dan asked.

"Well, prince, I think that this thing happened a bit unbelievable." said the defense minister.

"First of all, according to my understanding, those mountain people generally do not attack us actively, because they are afraid of Qin, especially attacking the Central Plains people. If something special happens, they will inevitably be retaliated. Generally, this is the case. Things will not happen." The Defense Minister said.

"But the problem is that things have happened now. Not only has it happened. It also appeared in front of us. You said, what should we do?" Prince Dan asked.

"Well, we need some time to investigate such a thing. It may not be as simple as we thought. If we rashly use our forces, it may bring us very serious consequences. We cannot let this happen. This is a situation that we must be aware of." The Defense Minister said.

"Okay. I think what you said is probably reasonable. But this thing must be fast. I want to know what happened in the north. This thing makes me very annoyed." Taizidan said . The Minister of Defense nodded. He is very busy now. The State of Yan has already announced the establishment of a navy, but their navy now has no shadow or money. How to set up a navy is very difficult for the Minister of Defense.

To the southwest of Bangla, it is already inland. But the living conditions here are better. It turned out to be better here, but after the Koreans came, the land here was abandoned. Many people were forced into bankruptcy, many locals became slaves, and some people fled here. No one knows whether they will come back or not. Of course, no one cares about them.

But there are some new signs here.

"Hahaha. Xinchu Village." Fan Kuai said with a smile. This is his eldest brother's question. The writing is not very good, but it is one of their happiest things, because Liu Ji and others have begun to place their surplus people here, and they have bought a large piece of land.

They now have more than twenty-five thousand people in their hands, not many, but not many. This is mainly to be able to compete with Li Shiqi. His Confucianism developed very fast, in Bangla Port, the port area shared by Koreans and Chu people. More than 20,000 people there converted to Confucianism, and they respected Confucius as a saint. And they are devoutly worshipping. They read some scriptures every day, which are actually some Confucian classics.

Behind Fankui, there are still many Mengla people, or people from other places on the western continent, but many of them have undergone great changes in their makeup. They changed to wear Central Plains costumes, and their hair began to tie up. Although many people have shorter hair, they don’t look very similar. However, they already have a certain appearance.

These are the effects of Confucianism. The Central Plains civilization is further affecting the western continent. Because joining Confucianism can have a great impact.

First, in Bangla Port, Confucianism can teach some scriptures for free. Although they are all classics of Confucianism, these words and languages ​​can bring great communication convenience. Many people who are still free have joined Confucianism.

With the convenience of text communication, they can do some work that is not very tiring but earns more money, such as receiving negotiation, calculation, some lower-level statistical work, or writing work. Chu country, Koreans all need such manpower. Joining Confucianism is equivalent to having such a foundation. Some businessmen also took the opportunity to join Confucianism, because they can expand their human resource advantages. Believing in Confucianism means believing in the Central Plains civilization. Joining the Central Plains civilization can bring great convenience. Many merchant ships arriving in Hong Kong will give priority to them. After all, in terms of clothing and style, they are still willing to communicate with such people. After all, this kind of closeness is hard to give up.

In addition to these, Confucianism belongs to the Central Plains. To believe in Confucianism means to join the circle of the Central Plains civilization. Although they are still marginalized people, they are already people from the Central Plains civilization. These can bring them great business opportunities. . Many people became Chu Kingdom, the business and trade representatives of Koreans. This is much better than those slaves.

Then there is the rapid expansion of Liu Ji and others. Their number quickly reached more than 20,000, and they were protected. Koreans will not impose excessive taxes on them. And the people of Chu will not care about them. Although they also pay, their Confucian status will provide them with great convenience. This allowed Confucianism to spread, and Liu Ji, in order to resettle these people, buy land, and build villages in the Central Plains, their clothing and styles approached the Central Plains. It seems that they are still locals, but they have become the spreaders of the Central Plains civilization. .

"Okay. With such a village, we can settle more people, and these people can pay for food. For crops, they can provide us with more materials. The most important thing is that we have soldiers, and if we have soldiers, we can It can expand quickly." Liu Ji was very excited. He always wanted to be governor. For nothing else, he can get better treatment. He can be regarded as the head of a private armed force of Chu at best. Do some uninfluenced trade. For example, slaves, sugar. And some silk and tea reselling business. If necessary, they can still start the war by themselves. Of course it is on a small scale. But they are standing still.

However, they are still facing a very complicated problem. Next, how should they develop, whether to continue this way, or to make a big plan. this point. Liu Ji did not have a clear understanding.

Occupying the territory of Prussia. Teams of Occupy Prussian soldiers are advancing. A lieutenant of the new South Korean army was sitting on a carriage and recording his diary, while a sergeant of the new South Korean army was watching the soldiers of Occupy Prussia.

"Sir, they are going to start a new war," the sergeant said.

"This, I know." The lieutenant recorded this war. Regarding this war, his view was that the Champus were very brave. They successfully defeated the Western Champus. I no longer know. But what he knows is that the Zhanpu people are brave, and they can win even greater wars.

"Sir, we don't know where to go next. Those **** Zhanpu people didn't tell us." The sergeant said.

"I know. But there is no way. This is their secret. To us, we are bystanders in this war. You have seen it. Their fighting is very brave. If these Zhanpu people are us What will happen to the native soldiers?" the lieutenant said.

"Sir, I don't know this, but what I know is that their roads are in very poor condition. Look at those cannons. They are very heavy. They are their own cannons. They are too heavy. Their roads cannot bear this. The large-scale deployment of artillery will seriously affect the progress of their war." The sergeant said. The lieutenant just nodded. Obviously he also feels this way. It seems that the Zhanpu people have only absorbed the sharp weapons of the Koreans, and did not pay attention to their poor road conditions. Their roads can only withstand some ordinary vehicles, but the heavy artillery has brought a heavy burden to these artillery. The road was destroyed, which seriously affected the movement of the Zhanpu people in war. The Zhanpu people obviously did not notice the impact of their poor logistics supply.

"They may be aware of this. But what they are concerned about is the development of the situation in the north." The lieutenant thought for a while and said.

"They are very concerned about the actions of the northern dynasties. Those dynasties can bring great opportunities for development. Therefore, they are now concerned about the northern dynasty, because the northern dynasty will lose a lot of their control. This is what they accept and expand the occupation. Once they have great strength, they can lose control." said the lieutenant.

"They are making trouble. A bunch of lunatics." The sergeant said, shaking his head. The lieutenant smiled helplessly. In fact, this is the case. Only when the Indians in the north become confused, they have such a chance to do such a thing. The South Korean government has always encouraged Zhanpu to do this, because in this way, the entire western continent will lose its final order. Each small city-state wants to control the development of the situation, and they all want to establish their own order, but the result is, They will all lose the opportunity to establish order.

On the west coast of the Western Continent, Xiang Dang’s troops landed again. They didn’t know where it was, and there was no one here. Of course, there was no **** new South Korean army. The Chu people were trying their best to avoid conflict with the Koreans, and both sides were there. Avoid things like this, because it's not yet that time.

"Sir, we have never been to this place, and there is no one here." His adjutant asked worriedly.

"Nonsense, if we have been here, we won't use it here. It's really unlucky to meet a **** Korean." Xiang Dang said displeased.

"Immediately our people are stationed here to see if there are Koreans. If not, this is ours." Xiang Dang said. His adjutant nodded and noted. In this way, the Chu people reached the west coast, and these were still persecuted by the Koreans.

Qi State, North Laizhou. Zhao Guoren and Qi Guoren are surveying here. They are nervously choosing an address. This is where they Zhao Guoren will build a naval base in the future. However, more survey teams are still on the way. They are not here to survey the port, but to survey one. railway. The two sides plan to cooperate to establish a coastal railway in Handan of Zhao State, reaching Bei Laizhou, and then along the Zhao State Naval Base in Bei Laizhou all the way south to Dengzhou. Although the two parties have not reached an agreement, many preparations must be completed in advance to save more time. As for Qi, they are also actively exploring their shipbuilding technology. On the other hand, Zhao Guo provided them with more artillery. The cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant. But this kind of happiness makes Koreans feel worried.

South Korea, Xinzheng.

"Zhao Guoren thinks beautifully, but if we provide such technology, what shall we do?" Han Shu considered from the perspective of national security.

"Moreover, we have got a lot of technology. Zhao Guo, I don't think they need to do this yet." Han Shu said.

"Well. King, I agree with this point. If we cooperate with Qin people, we can also achieve our goals. Although Qin people have a great advantage in technology, we can get more technology than that. Zhao is different. They are our potential opponents. Zhao is actively developing the navy. Their navy will soon unite with Qi. They will pose a threat to us. If we provide smokeless gunpowder technology Give it to Zhao Guo. What can we get? Obviously, this is very unfavorable to us. Therefore, we should not adopt an attitude of continuing to cooperate with them." Zhang Liang said.

"However, we must try our best to avoid stimulating Zhao Guo. Now it is not the time for the two sides to disrupt this kind of cooperation." Zhang Liang suggested.

"Yes. That's right. The current peace is very difficult for us. Therefore, for them, we don't need to do this. We need more time to accumulate. Besides, we still have some secret weapons. Use it. I think we can avoid cooperating with them, excuses?" Han Shu thought. She didn't find a good excuse for a while. After all, she still lacks a certain amount of experience for such things.

"What do you think?" Han Shu asked.

"This, I think, we should reject Zhao Guoren's request with immature technology." Zhang Liang said.

"Yeah. That's right, that's it." Han Shu said. He was very satisfied with such an excuse, after all, the technology they obtained was also very accidental.

Zhao Guo. Handan.

"Zhao government will vigorously carry out the construction of public utilities, and these public utilities will help our Zhao country's economic development." Guo Ming said. Guo Kai was thinking about something in his seat, as if he was a little absent-minded, while many bankers were calculating their little abacus.

If Zhao Guo builds public facilities on a large scale, especially the construction of some roads and railways, it will require the government to drive and provide a lot of financial funds to do it. Obviously, the government does not have such a large amount of funds, but what should we do? do? The government’s idea is to issue bonds, and arrange the position of the central bank according to the size of the bonds provided. The central bank can issue gold coins. That is to say, they will get some seats to issue currency completely. They have the right to issue currency. Have a greater right to speak. Although the government will eventually redeem and buy these bonds, there are obviously many benefits.

"The mission of the bank is to provide more funds to enterprises so that those businesses have sufficient funds to do such things. I think you should understand what benefits such businesses will bring to us." Guo Ming continued. To.

But the bankers still hesitate, and they still have some worries.

"Don't hesitate." Just then. Guo Kai said this abruptly.

"Think about it. The bank's funds can only make money if they are turned up. You let them sleep and sleep. You are bankers and need to calculate the cost of each day. Don't you pay interest? "Guo Kai said.

"If you do not take action, I will take punitive measures. Not only will your bank's business be reduced, but at the same time, it will reduce the amount of your listed shares and restrict your transactions. Punitive taxes will be imposed on you." Guo Kai threatened . Hearing this, all the bankers made a surprised voice, and they buzzed at random.

"Okay. Think about it yourself." Guo Kai stood up and said. Guo Kai is very clear that the key to everything lies in the bank, because the private sector only has a lot of sufficient funds, and it will develop frantically. He is a banker and a speculator. He naturally knows this point, if he does not know this point. , He would not say such a thing, at present he needs to force these Zhao Guo bankers to be forced. What he needs is the reason for doing so.

However, Guo Kai thought of a good way. If they proactively threaten those bankers, they may take some cunning measures. However, how can bankers really lend more funds? Guo Kai thought of Qin State Bank, because Qin State Bank has more sufficient funds. He thinks that he should give Qin State Bank greater autonomy, or in other words, greater authority, to let them lend out crazy. Only in this way can they solve all the problems. This is what they must do. Because only the Bank of Qin State can force Zhao Guo’s own bank to take corresponding actions. Buddhists will be attacked by Bank of State Bank of Qin. They must think about the disasters such behavior will bring to themselves. This is the question Guo Kai thought of.
