"I also want to know what kind of place this Western Region is?" Fan Zeng said with interest.Said two people came out.

"Parthian Empire?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"Yes." Wang Ben nodded.

"Parthian Empire, this is the information provided to us by the Yuezhi people." Wang Ben said.

"This Parthian Empire may be the Anxi Empire. Before, Li Xin's side also mentioned such similar information. They reported that the Dawan people they encountered had also received military pressure from the other side. Moreover, we also I have met the cavalry of the Parthian Empire, I think it should be one piece." Shangwen boldly analyzed that Guan Shangwen is not interested in the history of Central Asia, and he doesn't know much about it, but he knows that this Parthian Empire, It is very likely that the rest of the country.

"Now it doesn't matter if it's the Parthian Empire or the Parthian Empire." Shang Wen said.

"Our strategy is to use Qin's trade methods to win over the Yuezhi people and deal with the Anxi country together, because I feel that this country is the one we should pay the most attention to. In addition, Qin also needs to expand its own power through trade. career." Shang Wen said.

"Prime Minister, my chief of staff and I have set up a business and trade company, mainly engaged in arms business and military training. Our people will come out of the army, and then send officers to set up a training center on the border of the Yuezhi people. We will trade with them for the base, their logistics supplies, and other materials, so that we don’t have to participate in the war.” Wang Ben said.

"Yeah." Shangwen nodded.

"You guys did a great job." Shang Wen agreed.

"But now, what I want to know is your situation, what else do you need?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"Funds. A lot of money. We still don't have enough money. At present, we are just launching a series of military training. Such training does not require a lot of money. We can earn a lot of training fees, but in the future, We need to start trade with them, various logistics supplies, and various needs. We all need a lot of funds, and without enough funds, we can't do anything." Wang Ben said.

"This is not just your problem, the whole Qin country has this problem at present." Shang Wen said.

"However, Prime Minister, our problem is more serious, and it is the Yuezhi people who are right. If we expand on the Yuezhi and Parthia issues, it will be very troublesome for us." Wang Ben said.

"Yeah." Shangwen nodded.

"Soon, I think this problem will be resolved soon." Shang Wen said.

"However, we still have another piece of information that we need to pay attention to, that is, there is an important traffic road beyond the current location of the Yuezhi people." Wang Ben introduced.

"The country leading to the south?" Shangwen asked.

"Yes." Wang Ben nodded.

"The Yuezhi people said that the direction of their trade is that area." Wang Ben said.

"Hmm." Shangwen entered a state of contemplation. Wang Ben's news told Shangwen that the place occupied by the Yuezhi people and the Wusun people is today's Afghanistan region, and to the south of this region is the Peshawar region of Pakistan, which is a major transportation hub. Dao, and then you can enter today's You, and at this time, there is a big empire in Shangwen's memory, this empire is the Maurya Dynasty, this dynasty unified the entire You Peninsula, what is the current state of this country , Shangwen is not clear at all, he only knows that the Maurya Dynasty is only a short period.Then the whole Youyou fell into a state of division, and now Youyou is divided, but it is still a unity.Shang Wen has no idea.

"Prime Minister. My idea is that we can conduct trade exchanges with the Mauryan Dynasty in the south through the Yuezhi people. We can sell them muskets, as well as a large amount of various military supplies, and then see what they have. Import Some." Wang Ben said.

"In this way, our trading company can continue." Wang Ben told Shang Wen some of his thoughts.

"Yes." Shangwen nodded.

"Your idea is very correct." Shang Wen said.

"Those who are important have a try, and those who are able to cooperate with the Yuezhi people, trade things, on the one hand, we must understand our unknown situation on the other hand." Shang Wen said.

"In addition, the construction of the railway is also involved. If you have enough funds, you can build a railway if you can. After all, if this is the case, you can quickly expand the transportation volume." Shang Wen said.

"Yes. I understand this point." Wang Ben said.

Later, Wang Ben introduced other things, such as the morale of the army. This is an old problem. Shang Wen already knew about this problem when he was running for office. Shan Wang Ben, as their military chief, must repeatedly emphasize This point, so that Shang Wenjuan can solve this matter.

After Wang Ben left, Fan Zeng had big doubts.

"Prime Minister. I don't understand why you don't make friends with the Parthian Kingdom and the Mauryan Dynasty in the south, and solve the Dawan people together. In this way, the Qin Kingdom can expand a large piece of land without spending a lot of energy." Fan Zeng asked.

"No no." Shangwen said at this time.

"This is not what Qin wants." Shang Wen said.

"If you do this, it will be very detrimental to Qin." Shang Wen continued.

"We have successively attacked Yuezhi and other countries in the Western Regions," Shang Wen said.

"The strength of these countries is already very weak. Moreover, they are also aware of what kind of opponent they are facing and what such an opponent means to them. Therefore, our opponents are not these countries, and they also They will not take the initiative to start a war with us, on the contrary, they will find a way to bridge this gap, and to bridge this gap requires trade and peaceful means." Shang Wen said.

"This is also what Qin needs. To start trade, we don't use war. The cost of using war is extremely expensive. Using trade to digest the face of this part of the region, we here agree very much." Shang Wen said.

"At the same time, the area is a mountainous area, and our logistics supply line is stretched. If there is a war, it will be very disadvantageous to us." Shang Wen explained.

"In mountainous areas, if they use random strikes to fight, the war will last longer, and our logistical pressure will be greater." Shang Wen said.

"Do you still remember what happened in Yan Kingdom not long ago?" Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng at this time.

"Remember, the Yan people were defeated by Goguryeo." Fan Zeng said.

"Yes. What we have to face may be the situation faced by the Yan Kingdom. This situation is something we must try our best to avoid. Time-consuming operations will double the consumption of materials. In this case, national defense and military expenses will In particular, the cost of war will increase a lot. The current Qin government cannot afford it," Shang Wen said.

"Our logistical supplies can't support us either. We currently only have one railway. This railway not only has to bear a large amount of military materials, but also a large amount of commercial trade materials. If we requisition, the merchants will not agree." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"Moreover, this year is the prime minister of the Qin State, and we need the support of businessmen. Without the support of businessmen, it will be difficult to implement my political ideas." Shang Wener said.

"Yeah. It's just, why didn't the Qin State adopt the strategy of long-distance friendship and close-attack?" Fan Zeng asked.

"No, no, absolutely not. We must support weak opponents. The Yuezhi people are very weak, while the Maurya Dynasty in the south and the Parthian Kingdom in the west. These countries have not received much power, Moreover, we don't know them well, so it will be very difficult for us to understand them." Shang Wen said.

"What we know is the Yuezhi people. The Yuezhi people know what kind of situation is around them, and after some blows, the situation of the Yuezhi people is also very bad. If the Yuezhi people want to stand, they must We need the help of our Qin State very much." Shang Wen said.

"It will take more than three years for the Qin State to build the railway to the feet of the Yuezhi people. Qin will really solve the problems in the area. Using the Yuezhi people will continue to consume the Anxi Kingdom and the Maurya Dynasty. .” Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"Yeah." Fan Zeng seemed to understand Shang Wen's intention all at once.

In the Western Regions, Qin State may be facing two first-class regional powers, one is the Maurya Dynasty, a great power in South Asia, and the other is a great power in West Asia, Parthia.The strength of these two countries has surpassed Qin's military power in the Western Regions, and the situation of the Yuezhi people is not much better there. The Yuezhi people who were severely expelled by Qin to this area have already lost a lot. Unable to use greater power to resist threats from the south and the west, now that Qin has expanded to their borders, they have no choice but to cooperate with Qin people, because they are too familiar with Qin people.Compared with the two great threat countries in the south and the west, the Yuezhi people have become an important buffer zone.

The Qin State united through this buffer zone.Slowly accumulate strength through various means, so that after a period of time in the future, Qin will inevitably hit these two countries.

If the method of close attack is adopted, it will be extremely disadvantageous to Qin State.The cooperation between the strong and the strong attacks the weak. During the attack, once one side loses its balance, the situation will soon develop very unfavorably.

Coupled with the various factors of Qin State, Qin State's current financial situation is not good, and it will definitely not easily start a war, and will go all out to build it. In this way, when Qin State's construction is completed, Qin State will suddenly counterattack.

Qin's northern frontier.

"How much land do we have?" A farmer with a big belly kept sweating and asked.Due to lack of exercise, he only walked about two miles, and he was panting and sweating constantly.

"About [-] acres, there is another farm nearby, the land is larger than this one, with [-] acres." A man who looked like a housekeeper said at this time.

"Oh. It's quite big." Nonggui nodded and said.He never cared about the operation of the farm, because he only needed to hire a housekeeper and a few slaves.If necessary, there are labor service companies in this area. They have all kinds of machinery and provide data reference.

"Well, wrong, we in Lizhou have more land than this farm." At this time, Nongshu said.

"This. We can continue to grow wheat. The current price of wheat has risen a lot. As long as we ship it to Xianyang, Qin State, we will make a lot of money. Planting wheat is also very profitable." At this time, the housekeeper suggested.

"No. There is already enough wheat." At this time, the farm cabinet said.
