"It's not clear yet, but Qin State should have a demand in this regard. Judging from the projects started by Qin State, it seems that Qin State is in urgent need of a large amount of steel. Qin State started to build a lot of railways at once." The Minister of Economy said .

"Well, to start cooperation, we should give them certain tax breaks and incentives for the cooperative enterprises, trading companies, and other companies. In order to encourage them to continue to do so. In addition, Zhao Guo should also establish a corresponding railway construction company to learn Railway technology." Li Mu said.

"Yes. In this regard, we also need to spend a certain amount of financial funds to subsidize some students to complete their studies. Only in this way can we complete the current situation." The Minister of Economy said.

"I would like to be able to provide some government interest-free loans, maybe like banks do to students, and we can provide some tuition assistance, so that can help them complete their studies, and they can become our technicians immediately after graduation." said the Minister of Education.

"En. In this case, our research can quickly progress." The Minister of Education said.

"It's just that the Ministry of Finance hasn't allocated funds to us yet." The Minister of Education said at this time.

"Prime Minister, I think you should understand that the current funds of the Ministry of Finance are very limited." The Minister of Finance said at this time.

"I know, you don't want to take out this money." Li Mu said to the Minister of Finance.

"However, if we don't take out the money now, we won't be able to take it out later." Li Mu said.

"Qin State's investment in education is sometimes higher than military expenditure. We do so now, which is considered very little." Li Mu said.

"Take it out. There must be at least 20 gold in it." Li Mu ordered.

"This." The Minister of Finance looked at Li Mu in embarrassment.

"Prime Minister, if this part of the money is taken away, the king's side, there is no way for us to explain it." The Minister of Finance said.

"The royal family's expenses are all drawn from the finances. If the royal family has no money to draw from, the situation will be very bad for us." The Minister of Finance persuaded.

"I don't care about these ⊥ I did this." Li Mu said.As for the royal family's expenditure, it has been suppressed, which is an important reason why Zhao's finances cannot be spent very much, and King Zhao can use it without restriction.In this way, Zhao Guo's financial ability was suppressed.

"Education fees cannot be paid in arrears. The reason for this is the support of Zhao Guofu's future development⊥" Li Mu said.

"En." The Minister of Finance nodded.The Minister of Education cheered up.

However, there was one issue that caught Li Mu's attention, and that was the royal family's expenses.If this continues, Zhao’s financial problems will continue to exist. Li Mu must separate the royal family’s expenditures from Zhao’s financial expenditures. Only in this way can Zhao’s financial situation be improved a lot. If this continues, the royal family’s expenditures will continue Cannibalize Zhao's financial funds.

in the North Pacific Ocean.The South Korean warship Kuainu is sailing westward.

"There is nothing in this trip. It's really terrible. It's just that some unknown islands have been discovered." The second officer said dissatisfied.

"It's not bad to be alive." The captain comforted.

"As long as we are alive, we will discover many things. However, there is nothing on the ocean here." The captain said.

"Sir, I think that if we continue to move forward, we may find many islands. So far, there are not many islands in this sea area. If we continue to sail, we will definitely find some islands." The second officer said. arrive.

"That's right," said the captain.

"However, we have to cross a large ocean before we get there. This ocean is the biggest obstacle to us. It is not a storm, nor a terrible reef. It is an impassable ocean. It’s a challenge, if we can’t find any supplies on the way, it will be too difficult.” The captain thought about how to cross the ocean.The second officer nodded after listening to the captain's words. He also thought that what the captain said was reasonable. The biggest obstacle before them was the consequence of the impassability of the vast Pacific Ocean.

This also explains why for more than 2000 years, Chinese merchant ships could only discover the rich Southeast Asia, but not the new continent on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.The reason is that if you sail eastward, you will have to cross the Pacific Ocean without many islands. Without sufficient supplies, it will be difficult to cross. Perhaps, if you use more advanced ships, you can solve the current problem. However, it is obviously very difficult at present. Difficult to solve.Because no matter how fast a wooden ship is, it is still a sailing ship and does not use a steam engine as power.South Korea also does not have such a technical reserve. As far as the current situation is concerned, South Korea is still unable to overcome this huge obstacle.

Queen's Island is currently the largest overseas island occupied by South Korea.

"How many merchant ships have come to the south?" A special official sent by South Korea asked.

"There are 21 ships. Two warships, and the rest are all armed merchant ships." A local official replied.

"En." The special officer nodded.

"What did they find?" the special officer asked.

"Many things, spices, ivory, these all appeared in the west, and in the south, there are a lot of fish, timber, and other minerals, sulfur mines, etc." The official replied looking at his records.

"That's all?" the special officer asked at this time.

"Yes, that's all." The official looked at the record again and said.

"Is there no such thing as gold and silver?" asked the special official.

"No. Such things are not registered," the official said.

"Well, I see. What are these places, even gold is not found." The special official complained.Special officers were ordered to direct their special attention to places where there was gold.So, he came here to inquire. As a result, he was very disappointed after inquiring, because there was no gold at all.And more are some treasures.For such a result, the special officer is disappointed.

"Here, sir," said the officer at this time.

"Sir, if you want to find gold, you need special prospecting methods. Here, you have to find someone. None of us here are good at it." The official said of the situation.

"Oh. I see." The special officer responded.The special officer doesn't care about prospecting methods and things that are already needed. What he cares about is the news of gold deposits, and he doesn't care about anything else.Not interested.

A coastal area of ​​Chu State.

"Heart. Heart." The young man from Chu State carried several bolts of silk danglingly onto the Korean merchant ship.The Korean merchant ship was going to the coastal area of ​​Qi State. Thinking of reaching Qi State, it entered the northern region. The young man was extremely excited, and stepped up his pace to board the Korean merchant ship.

"Who is this Xing?" The captain asked while standing on the deck.

"Oh. This apricot is called Huang An." A sailor on the side explained.

"It was people from the state of Chu who went to the north to do business, and what he transported was silk. These things are very cheap in the state of Chu. If Xing wants to make money, he wants to transport these things to the north to sell them." The sailor explained .

"Oh. I want money." The captain looked at Huang An and said.

"Yes, Captain," explained the sailor.

"Now, there are relatively few places in the north that need silk, let alone Qi. It's really hard to say whether this apricot will make money or not," the captain said.

"Have you received the ship's money?" asked the captain at this moment.

"Take it. Take it. Anyway, we can't fill it this time, so I let him come up." The sailor said.

"En. Put away some tea leaves. This thing is much more useful than silk." The captain said.

"Yes." The sailor nodded.

"Let's set sail when you're ready," said the captain.After preparing for a period of time, the Korean merchant ship set sail.Their goal is the coast of Qi State. Although the wind direction is unfavorable during this period, they can advance by means of zigzag sailing.

Xianyang, Qin State.In Shangwen's prime minister's mansion.

"I heard that there are civilian riots in your state of Chu?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"Yes." Xiang Bo nodded and said.

"After some discussion like this, we came up with a solution." Shangwen understood at this time.

"I don't know what kind of solution the Prime Minister has come up with?" Xiang Bo asked.

"Use the method of labor to solve the problem of your surplus labor during the war." Shang Wen said.

"Labour problem?" At this time, Uncle Xiang asked incomprehensibly.
