But these businesses are very limited, mainly because of the difference in railway transportation capacity.The state of Qin needs to import a large amount of electricity coal from the state of Zhao, and the high-voltage power transmission is still in the experimental stage, so it cannot be truly commercialized. However, Xianyang is a city that consumes a lot of electricity, and there are a large number of power plants around Xianyang. The power plant needs a large amount of coal to generate electricity, and the coal mainly comes from Zhao State, because Zhao State's coal is cheap and of high quality.As a result, Qin State imported a large amount of thermal coal from Zhao State, and the goods transported by railways from Zhao State were coal.Of course.Zhao's specialty is coal and iron resources.But these are businesses involving the nobles. It is difficult for merchants from the state of Zhao to be involved in other businesses, but when they come back, the train must not come back empty. The country imports a large amount of grain, luxury goods, and other necessities of life, mainly targeting the nobles and civilians of the Zhao country. Go big because demand is what it is.

"The construction of the railway has all kinds of benefits, and the nobles agreed. Don't we, the House of Commons, disagree? There is an additional railway, which connects to Xinzheng, South Korea. What is the railway?" Sima Qi asked everyone.Everyone froze, they didn't know what the question meant.

"The railway is a way of making money. This is an opportunity for us to make money. Don't we want to lose it?" Sima Qi asked loudly.

"Railway is the source of wealth." This sentence made everyone wake up at once. The development of commerce is not completed by the passage of roads. The transportation of logistics will reverse the development of commerce and stimulate the further prosperity of commerce and trade. , This is the meaning of the railway as a source of income. They can rely on the rapid transportation of the railway to complete their business goals and achieve further prosperity in commercial trade.

"We agree, we agree." At this time, the businessmen present began to agree with each other. Although some peasant congressmen disagreed, the minority obeyed the majority in order to achieve democracy. The seats of parliamentarians were placed intentionally. In this way, they were absolutely weak in terms of the number of competitions. In this way, the meaning of building a railway appeared.

Zhao Guo is actively developing the railway business, which coincides with Shang Wen's idea at the beginning, and Zhao Guo thought of this by himself.This is of great benefit and help to Shangwen's future development.After all, some people will take the initiative to build railways, and the construction of railways will bring about a huge pull.

"Passed is passed. The next thing will be much more busy." Li Mu sat on the sofa feeling very tired and said ☆The left car saw that Prime Minister Li Mu was very tired and asked if the plan was passed.

"There are many things to do next. We have to propose a specific plan. The southern railway will be connected to South Korea's Xinzheng. In this way, we will send people to South Korea. This matter. Who will do it and who can do it well .We have to do a good job." Li Mu said.

"I think we can send a special person to inquire about this matter. If the other party thinks about it, the prime minister can go there in person. This can show the sincerity of Zhao Guo. If necessary, I think we should send a telegram first." Li Zuoche suggested it.

"En." Li Mu nodded.

"Just do it like this, I think, if it goes on like this, it can be achieved." Li Mu said.

"Go ahead. Send a telegram to the South Korean side. The content of the telegram is about the construction of the railway between Handan and Xinzheng in Zhao State." Li Mu said.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Li Zuoche nodded.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"This is Wang Ben's telegram. Take a look." King Qin handed the telegram to Feng Quji, Wei Liao, Meng Tian and others.Meng Tian came to attend the meeting as Wei Liao's assistant.

"The Yuezhi people were taught a lesson by the Anxi Kingdom." Wei Liao looked at the telegram strangely.Meng Tian confirmed it again.After seeing it, Feng Quji thought about some things and didn't express his opinion.

"The prime minister is dying outside, and I don't know the news yet, what do you think?" King Qin asked.

"I believe that we can help the Yuezhi people. We Qin people only need to send some officers to observe the group. We can figure out how to do it. It depends on the next development." Wei Liao said.

"Yes. The widow agrees to do this. The advantage of this is that we can understand and observe the movements of the Yuezhi people, but we still don't know the sincerity of the Yuezhi people?" King Qin said worriedly at this time.

"This point, I think, can be tested and let the Yuezhi people buy a large number of weapons. The additional condition given by the Qin State is to help them train, but the training area can be in the middle of the Qin State and the Yuezhi people. Proceed." Meng Tian suggested.

"Yeah, wrong, we can continue." King Qin said.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, Feng Quji said.Everyone looked at Feng Quji.

"I think these suggestions are good, but none of them can fundamentally solve the problem of the Western Regions," Feng Quji said.

"What do you mean?" King Qin was a little surprised. He didn't know what Feng Quji would say, but he knew that Feng Quji's suggestion had strong political significance.

"What I mean is that a temporary agency should be set up in the Western Regions of Qin State to deal with the affairs of the Western Regions in general, so that Qin State can manage and coordinate the entire Western Regions comprehensively," Feng Quji said.

"Recently, Qin State fought against Dawan State in the Western Regions, and commercial organizations have entered it. Today, we got the news that the Yuezhi people were attacked by the Anxi State. Although these two news seem to be accidental, but Qin State If we want to continue to open up the Western Regions and open up the market, such things will be inevitable, and I believe that such things are already beyond the control of the frontline generals." Feng Quji said.

"En." King Qin nodded.King Qin believed that Feng Quji was right.

"Qin's approach to the Western Regions is a bit single. Commercial, our means are partly developed, only the arms trade, while Li Xin's department has not yet begun. On the other hand, Qin has continued to have frictions with these places. If the small frictions continue to develop If it is not, it will inevitably lead to a bigger war, which is the last thing we want to see." Feng Quji said.

"If such an institution can be established, these problems will be solved. The comprehensive use of commercial trade, military means, and diplomacy, and a timely and flexible solution to the Western Regions issue will have a great effect on Qin." Feng went to Immediately suggested.

Feng Quji summed up the recent situation and concluded that Qin's actions in the Western Regions were extremely unsatisfactory. This dissatisfaction was not manifested in Qin's affairs in the Western Regions, but because Qin could not solve these problems flexibly. Existence makes Qin State passive, some need flexible diplomacy, and some need to start commercial trade.

However, Qin State did not have such an institution to complete this matter.Local state governments do not have greater diplomatic power, and they cannot handle this matter. The local garrison belongs to the federal government, and they have no right to interfere. There are only local militias, but the militias are very loose.Such a loose and incapable of overlapping management is what led to Qin's troubles in the affairs of the Western Regions. Perhaps Shang Wen didn't notice it, but Feng Quji judged based on his own experience, and he believed that Qin should need such an organization.

"Yes. I think it's okay." King Qin stood up at this time and decided.

"Let's set up the Protectorate of the Western Regions to solve this matter in general," King Qin said.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, Wei Liao stood up and said.

"What's the matter?" King Qin asked.

"I think it's still too early to establish the Protectorate of the Western Regions. You should ask the prime minister, maybe the prime minister has further plans." Wei Liao said at this time.

"En." King Qin nodded.Approved.

"I agree." King Qin nodded.

"Send a telegram to the prime minister and tell the prime minister the minutes of the meeting here. I also want to hear the prime minister's thoughts." King Qin nodded in agreement.King Qin also wanted to hear what kind of good ideas Shang Wen had to solve this matter.

Inside the train station hotel in Longxi County.Shangwen received a telegram from Xianyang.And it belongs to King Qin.Shangwen opened the telegram and looked carefully. There were many telegrams, and Shangwen needed to read them one by one.There's a lot involved in this.But it's all from the West.Xiyu thought carefully after seeing it.

1948 Meng Yi's Interpretation

"Da da.???" Shang Wen kept tapping the table with one finger, and there was a lot of telegrams on the table.Naofumi frowned and looked at the telegram with his chin resting.

The telegram from King Qin made it difficult for Shangwen to relax.Because Shangwen also felt that his views on the Western Regions issue were not comprehensive. For example, this time, Feng Quji's views were much better than his own.The establishment of the Protectorate in the Western Regions was mentioned in ancient history books, but Shangwen did not think of it. What Shangwen thought of was that businessmen could solve these things by themselves.Shangwen didn't care too much about what happened in the Western Regions, that is, this kind of indifference caused Shangwen to ignore many things at once. The Western Regions needed a unified institution that could handle all foreign affairs in a timely manner.

"The Protectorate of the Western Regions. Does such an institution really need a government agency to set up?" Shang Wenyi said.

"I don't think it's necessary. The government has a lot of power to govern, but it also brings a lot of trouble. The establishment of a government agency will still cost the government. This is definitely not what the Qin government wants to see. .Qin State should try to resolve the issue. Instead of concentrating the problem and taking the lead in solving it. This method is very good. It can solve the problem. However, it costs a lot and lacks autonomy. It has a lot to do with Qin State’s policy in the Western Regions The contradictory nature. I think it’s better not to.” Shangwen thought for a while and said.

"On the other hand, Qin's Western Regions does need such an institution, but this institution may not be a government institution." Shang Wen continued.

Naofumi looked while holding the meeting minutes telegram.

"This idea was proposed by Feng Quji. Perhaps, Feng Quji should analyze it according to the previous management model of Qin State. To solve it, this is one of his limitations." Shang Wen said.

"Currently, the Qin government is definitely not controlling as much as possible. If it controls as much as possible, and there are many bans, then the enthusiasm for opening the Western Regions will be greatly frustrated. This is definitely not the result we want to see. No one benefits." Shangwen thought for a while and said.

"In my opinion, we should think of a way to solve the whole problem from another angle," Shang Wen said.Then Shangwen began to read the telegram carefully.

"However, they are right. The Western Regions do need such an institution to deal with all the problems, but they cannot kill the government agencies. First, the government expenditures of the government agencies are not enough. The state government does not have enough financial funds to develop. Don’t even mention that such a sum of money is spent on management. Obviously, Feng Quji’s idea is very good, but it’s not very good to use it for this.” Shang Wen said.

"However, if you don't use government agencies, what can you do to seal those complicated and flexible diplomatic situations? In terms of military means, the Qin Army has a great initiative, but it is impossible for the Qin Army to be dispatched all the time. , it will cause a lot of financial expenditure, which is definitely not good for Qin." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"Since the government agency is not working, what else can we do?" Shangwen thought for a while.

"Or, the problem needs to be solved from a commercial perspective." Shang Wen said.

"Qin is currently relying mainly on commercial armed forces in the Western Regions, but the commercial armed forces are too scattered. Although the Qin State's armed forces have gathered in the Dawan Kingdom incident in the Western Regions this time, it also exposes the inadequacy of Qin's commercial armed forces. Strong factors, and the opening of the Western Regions requires a comprehensive improvement in all aspects, to improve a military force, wouldn't it be walking on one leg." Shang Wen said with a smile.Speaking of Shangwen, he dragged again.

It is a good idea to use commercial means to solve the problem, but there are still great difficulties in solving it, because of the contribution of funds and the distribution of benefits obtained.These are all inherent shortcomings of commercial methods. Think about it, if it is not for the benefits of export tax rebates and tax reductions, the commercial armed forces will not take the initiative to send troops. No problem yet, obviously impossible.But Shangwen has no good way to solve this problem.

"Maybe there are other ways." At this time, Shangwen began to think about the problem by integrating all the factors.Shangwen sat quietly on the ground.He lays out all the situations he gets on the ground.The situation in Qin State is a bit complicated, but there are inevitable connections between some affairs, and these connections need to be carefully considered. Shang Wen's eyes turned around, and then he continued to fall into deep thought.

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

"Has the Prime Minister received a telegram?" King Qin asked Zhao Gao suddenly as he was walking in the arcade.

"This." Zhao Gao was terrified.
