"How many people have you gathered?" Xiang Liang asked as a representative.

"About 5000 people, and about 8 to [-] people are walking here. If they can gather together, there may be even more people." Wu Xiazi said worriedly.The reason for saying this is that the living environment of the mob is getting worse and worse. Many of them have to hide in the forest in order to avoid being chased by officers and soldiers. The harsh environment caused many deaths. This request certainly gave them a way to survive, and whatever their lives might hold, they decided to give it a try.After all, there are Qin people.

"So many people?" Xiang Liang asked worriedly.

"The Qin people haven't arrived yet, so it's estimated that the Qin people were notified of this. It may take another half a month for the Qin people to arrive." Xiang Liang said worriedly.

"The food we can give you is only about seven days old. This is the last batch of food we collected in Changsha City." Xiang Liang said.

"The food is not enough, and our number is still increasing. If we gather all at once, if we don't have enough to eat, there will be big problems." Wu Xiazi said anxiously.

"This is also the problem you made up." Xiang Liang said impatiently.

"This, this is what you brought up first." Blind Wu said while looking at Xiang Liang.He originally had another sentence at the end, if it weren't for the favorable conditions proposed by Xiang Liang, they would definitely say it, the big deal, they will kill Changsha City now, anyway, they are not afraid of anyone, already in the current situation up.

"There is only one way at present." Xiang Liang thought for a while and said.

"What way?" Blind Wu asked.

"That is to send them now, send them all to Qin State, and separate all the people behind. Only in this way can such a huge task be completed, and the food can be staggered. If they all gather here, it is impossible for Changsha to feed all these people. Yes." Xiang Liang said.

"This." Blind Wu still hesitated, which was something he hadn't thought of at first.

"Don't ask. Act quickly. If it's later, there will be no food. Or just follow the river to the Qin State Railway Station. This way of transportation can relieve a lot of pressure on you. In my opinion, let's do it this way." Go." Xiang Liang said in a serious tone.

The Exploration of Qi State in 1925

From Changsha City along the Xiangjiang River to the Yangtze River, and then upstream to Beigang in the Qin State, these people can enter the Qin State.You can quickly reach Qin State along the railway along the railway.

Xiang Liang thinks that this matter can only be done in this way. You must know that the number of these mobs will increase. Who knows if there will be as many as 10 people in the future. , and the various supplies along the way will be very large, and it is hard to say whether such a large number of people can arrive in time.Traveling by water is the only good way to reduce the itinerary.

North of Qin State.

"If your tribe wants to continue to maintain such a large supply of supplies, it can only gather on the spot and provide more soldiers. People in your tribe must do some work." A businessman said.

"What can they do? We are attached to Qin and rely on Qin's protection to survive." The tribal leader said.

"We people don't know anything, we only know how to herd, and herding is the only thing we do." The tribal leader said.

"Well. If it's mining, or something that requires effort, will you do it?" the businessman asked.

"This." The tribal leader hesitated.He didn't know what the merchant meant by that.

"Our people can only herd herds," said the tribal leader.

"Oh." The merchant nodded.

"I see." The businessman said to the tribal leader.Then he left.The tribal leader watched the businessman leave. The businessman provided them with a lot of supplies, many of which were bought from him. They had never used these things before, such as good tea, blankets, and some weapons. It's all things they didn't even dare to think about before, but as the transaction progresses.The Horde has less and less to trade.Their leather is pressed down very low, and sometimes it takes a hundred sheepskins to exchange for a catty of tea from the Qin State. Such a huge contrast makes the situation of the tribe worse and worse.

In order to make up for such shortcomings, they had to send serious young people from their tribe to act as the commercial armed force of the Qin people.But this still cannot meet the needs of the people of Qin. The tribe only has more than 500 people, and the combat soldiers that can be provided are very limited. If all these soldiers are given to the people of Qin, what will happen to them?The tribal leaders are in such considerations that they need to retain a certain number of people to defend the tribe, but the current situation is really not good for their tribe.

"Now there are more and more tribes attached to them, but the situation of the tribes is very bad." A middle-aged man said while holding a teacup, standing on the high-rise guarded by Qin State.

As the first non-Hun tribe broke away from the control of the Huns and set up camp outside the area controlled by the Qin people, more and more tribes came to seek refuge. As soon as they took refuge, they did business with the Qin people. The difference in trade has almost sucked up the wealth of these tribes. If these tribes have no value, then it is not too late to deal with them.

"Yes, these poor tribes don't have much wealth. If they gather in this way, I think we might as well pull them into the ditch to the east and set up machine guns to slaughter them all." A lieutenant colonel of the Qin Army said impatiently.

"It's too simple to do this." The middle-aged businessman asked.

"These tribes can only send troops. Who knows if those soldiers can make a profit. You know, you said that accepting these tribes can make a profit. Up to now, we have invested a lot of money and borrowed a lot from the bank. Now even one I didn’t see any money.” The lieutenant colonel said angrily.

Hearing this, the middle-aged businessman frowned, very dissatisfied with the lieutenant colonel's words.There is a commercial cooperation between the lieutenant colonel and the middle-aged businessman. Once the defense line of the Qin army is fixed, the emotions of the officers and soldiers will be difficult to stabilize, because once the main battle is over, the salaries of the officers and soldiers will return to their original status. There is no other source of income from spoils, and there is no opportunity for promotion. Soldiers can only show their role when they are fighting. If there is no war, they will be useless.

Therefore, some border guards began to actively cooperate with businessmen, who specialized in border trade.They use the method of joint stock and partnership to do business with businessmen, which is the source of these officers and soldiers.In order to gather funds, officers and soldiers in some areas also joined in by raising shares. It can be said that the quality of border trade has a direct causal relationship with the income of officers and soldiers.

"Now the Western Regions have just started, and it is impossible to generate a large amount of income all at once. Doing business requires a long-term perspective." The middle-aged businessman said.

"In the long run, we won't be without profit for such a long time. Many brothers have given out their monthly military pay." The lieutenant colonel said to the middle-aged businessman.

"En. I understand this. You all want to make some money. But this business can't go on in such a hurry. At present, we should take a long-term view." The middle-aged businessman said.

"A few days ago, the Eastern Mongolian State Assembly also discussed how to deal with the Huns in the north. Those congressmen could finally do something practical. They came up with the idea of ​​letting those tribes settle down and using these people to provide labor. Not only these, but also Provide a sales market for our products." The middle-aged businessman said.And these lieutenant colonels didn't listen at all.

"The most important thing is that we have to explore the northern region. If there are a lot of minerals, I think this is a good thing for us. With minerals, we can build a lot of steel plants, coal mines, Iron ore, these are important raw materials for building mines." The middle-aged businessman said.

"We need profits right now, and these bloody tribes are making so little money," the lieutenant colonel said.

"En. Let me figure out a solution for this matter." The middle-aged businessman nodded and said.The thinking of soldiers is different from that of businessmen. Soldiers hope to make quick profits, while businessmen hope to obtain long-term profits, because short-term profits are far from enough for businessmen to win longer-term benefits.

Though the idea presented by Asean states is good.However, it is very difficult to actually do it. This difficulty comes from the fact that there is a large trade gap between the two sides. As this trade gap progresses, the tribal economy will become more and more fragile, and their independence will get worse.Can only rely on a certain natural advantage.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"The royal iron and steel funds of the Zhao Kingdom have almost been raised. The factories are also under construction. It won't be long before a large number of iron smelting factories will appear." Meng Yi said.

"En. The royal iron and steel industry first smelts iron and transports it to the state of Qin for steelmaking. After reaching a certain level, we build steel factories in the state of Zhao and spread them to the state of Zhao," Shang Wen said.

"Well. I have already arranged this point." Meng Yi said.

"However, the domestic situation is not very good. We currently have relatively few places with steel production, mainly concentrated in Xianyang, Guyang in the north, Taiyuan, and Shangdang County, which has just risen recently." Meng Yi Speaking of.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

"The iron and steel in Shangdang County and Handan Iron and Steel have some impacts." Shang Wen said.

"However, we still mainly target the two markets of Wei State in South Korea. Let go of the markets of Yan State and Zhao State. For the market of Qi State, it depends on the Koreans." Shang Wen said.

"Domestic. One Guyang steel plant in the north obviously cannot meet the production in the north. In addition, there is the entire Western Region. Two steel plants are required to produce together." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, not only these, but these also need to be expanded. If the scale cannot be expanded, the production capacity will not be improved." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

At present, Qin State needs a lot of building materials such as steel and cement, and the demand for these building materials is extremely strong.The production scale of these factories will be greatly expanded.

"What's the situation with Zhao Guo's bond issuance?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"It's not very clear. Wenyang Bank is doing this, and it's not clear enough how far it has gone." Meng Yi said.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

"Whether the Zhao government has enough funds to start public infrastructure construction, especially the construction of railways, I think it will take some time." Shang Wen estimated.

"In this case, it will be a bit disadvantageous to us." Meng Yi said.

"Yes, so their construction needs our financial support, and they also need their ability to repay our debts." Shang Wen said.

"It's a bit early to talk about this matter. Let's leave it at that. Anyway, our bank also cooperates with them to a certain extent." Shang Wen said.
