The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 522: We are helping you get a job

Li Mu looked at Shang Wen questioningly. He didn't understand what Shang Wen meant.

"I mean. We are helping you to find employment. Yes. It is to solve the employment problem." Shang Wen waved his hand and said.

"Employment issue?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes. According to our newspaper report. Zhao has a severe drought this year. Food production has been reduced, coupled with the earthquake in this generation. Your losses are very large." Shang Wen pointed to the direction of the land and said.

"And your army is a bit huge. The number ranges from 400,000. Maybe more than this number. I'm not sure. But the conclusion is yes, your economy is on the verge of collapse." Shang Wen said.

Li Mu was calm and Shang Wen looked at Shang Wen. Then nodded for him to continue.

"We can't give too much assistance to the land. Why did I get this shot? Because someone in my country opposes this. Many generals in our army suggested launching an offensive to completely wipe out the country of Zhao." Shang Wen be honest. In fact. Fan Yuqi, stationed in Taiyuan County, has sent letters to launch such a war more than once.

"Then why did you start a war?" Li Mu asked.

"War will not do us any good. Especially launching a war against Zhao Guo." Shang Wen said.

"First of all. Our two countries have just signed a peace treaty. From a moral point of view. It is very unfavorable for us. But this is not the main reason." Shangwen believes that the role of morality is very limited.

"Secondly. Our government expenditure. We paid 1 million gold this year to disband about 200,000 to 300,000 troops and go home. They can do a lot with this money. Many places in Qin State are in urgent need of employment. Qin’s economy is developing at a rapid rate. You have seen it. Qin’s women are all working. Qin’s country is very large. But his population is extremely incompatible with his territory. Fighting will kill many people. Qin’s people Can’t afford to die. Even advanced weapons can’t make up. Moreover, the general’s talents are comparable to those of General Wang. We have weapon advantages. You have geographical advantages. Plus flexible tactics. We don’t take advantage of this at all. . I have already explained to King Qin. He also agrees." Shang Wen said. Li Mu nodded. He agrees with Shang Wen's views.

"The last point is. We can cooperate. We have interests in common. Our relationship is not as tense as that. In fact. Isn't the signing of the peace treaty just like this?" Shang Wen waved his hand and asked.

"This point. I don't understand. I also hope that Mr. will advise." Li Mu asked respectfully. It's not that Li Mu didn't know. But some issues need to be clarified by the other party's initiative. This is a test of the psychological bottom line of both parties.

"The specific thing is. Zhao has a large number of troops. Only about half of these troops can be regarded as elite. It is better for both of us to ease the tension on the border. We reduce the strength of a military region in the north and the Taiyuan military region in the east. This shows our sincerity. You can alleviate the trend of tension!" Shang Wen said.

"At the same time, you can transfer some of your troops. The number is limited to less than 20,000 to participate in our military operations. We provide military supplies. This counts as what we lent to you. Then, you sell the trophies to us and return the money for the supplies. Excessive. You can collect taxes or something. We can't manage. Anyway, you can do many things with extra money. For example, buy a lot of food. Qin State is very sufficient in this respect." Shang Wen said.

"It's about to enter winter now. We can't immediately go into battle to get enough money." Li Mu said.

"We still have the South." Shang Wen said.

"It's not just the south. As long as the weather is warm, we can go to war. Before we can train and modify. Your weapons are not very advantageous in front of the barbarians. We provide these weapons." Shang Wen said.

Li Mu shook his head. Shang Wen offered very good conditions. It can also be said to be very tempting. Military equipment depends on the opponent to complete the horizontal. Military supplies are also the responsibility of the other side. But in fact. One's own army needs to pass through the territory of Qin to enter the combat area. These places are thousands of miles away. Zhao State has one of the biggest hidden dangers. These dispatched troops will be alone. Li Mu didn't dare to agree easily.

Shang Wen saw Li Mu shook his head. It seems that both parties are on this matter. Still very sensitive.

"I am afraid that the country of Zhao doesn't have many choices. You don't have many economic resources available. In addition, your economic resources are single. Most of them are engaged in agricultural production. Very few are engaged in handicrafts. You cannot have an advantage in our trade. At present. The most important thing is the present. You have encountered unprecedented difficulties." Shang Wen said.

Li Mu also understands this. But this involves the strategic security of a country. Li Mu felt that there was a safety hazard. But they had to choose the methods and conditions proposed by Qin.

"We have a lot of sincerity. If we don't believe that the two countries can sign a five-year peace treaty to ensure the safety of both sides. My term is very limited. Even if it is re-elected, the time is not long. Only eight years." Shang Wen Explained.

"The relationship between our two parties is an employment relationship. We get results. You get paid. Both parties are mutually beneficial." Shang Wen said.

"Why do you promote Qin and Zhao so much?" Li Mu asked. This question is abrupt. But Li Mu wanted to listen.

"It's very simple. There is no winner in internal combat. From the moment the fight started. We all lost. We should try our best to avoid such a situation." Shang Wen said.

"We can discuss this issue later." Li Mu chose to put this issue aside temporarily.

"Okay. The general is also tired. I believe that the general's visit to Qin State this time is beautiful." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"It's rare for two generals to be together. Why don't we take a photo together." Shang Wen suggested.

"Photography? What is photography?" Li Mu asked puzzledly.

"It's just to draw the general with your blink of an eye." Wang Jian explained.

Then the three took pictures outside the hall. Li Mu is not yet used to taking pictures. The first expression is very unnatural. Shangwen decided to take a few more shots. After the third picture, Li Mu gradually got used to it. Wang Jian is much better. I was mentally prepared for the first photo shoot.

Li Mu wanted to see the "portrait". But was told to wait until a day later. Then Li Mu ended the day's visit. Shangwen sent him to rest.

Li Mu harvested more on this day. At least he saw many things that Zhao Guo didn't have. Particularly part of the Qin Army. This whole set of things opened his mind. But the purpose of this visit is not military. It's in the country of Zhao.
