"Well, I'm afraid it's not easy to do." Meng Yi said.

"There are a lot of capital needs at present, if the gold mining is not done well." Meng Yi worried.

"Well. I hope this can be done through trade and other means. Foreign trade, especially for countries in the Western Regions, I saw a report saying that there are gold coins in circulation in the Western Regions. I think that our Qin State also Such gold coins can be used, and such gold coins can only be circulated in the Western Regions trade market." Shang Wen said.

"This caused our gold to flow in." Meng Yi thought for a while and said.

"But we will not know until further investigation results come out," Meng Yi said.

"Well, let's solve this problem like this." Shangwen thought for a while.

"As for the issue of nobles. I think it is mainly a financial problem. The nobles need a lot of liquid funds, but the gold in the current market is being evacuated by us a little bit. In order to relieve the pressure on them to exchange gold, I think we should put some projects Give these nobles. For example, the benefits of building railways, etc. This can transfer a considerable part of the financial pressure." The Minister of Finance suggested.

"Yes. This is also a basis for our cooperation." Shang Wen said.

"Come on, let's figure it out and argue for noon, or send a telegram to Li Mu to know about it tomorrow." Shang Wen said to everyone with a smile.The cabinet members are familiar with the operation of the Qin government, and with their help, many problems can be easily solved.

The slender strait, which is today's Strait of Malacca, is the name given by the Korean merchant ship itself.

"It's been so long. It hasn't passed yet." A South Korean sailor looked worriedly at the north shore of the strait.Because they wanted to take advantage of the south wind, the merchant ship took the north channel. It has to be said that they were lucky. If they went south, they might run aground. The main reason is that the influence of the earth's deflection force made the south channel muddy. Sand accumulation.

"This strait is really long." The captain said, looking at the strait.

"Captain, we have to go through the past and leave here. But, there is one thing we need to worry about." The first officer said at this time.

"Shall we continue along the north bank, or?" asked the mate.

"It depends on what kind of wind we encounter. If there is no wind, all our thoughts are in vain." The captain said.

"Yes. Captain." The first officer nodded.

"Wind, the wind is blowing." At this moment, a sailor on guard on the ship called out loudly.

"It's windy. Hahahaha. Finally it's windy. Haha." The sailors on the boat shouted excitedly.

"It's windy. It's windy." cried the sailors.The reason why the sailors are so excited is because then they can be liberated.They had been rowing all the way across the strait, and if there was a wind they would be able to free their hands and have a good rest.Long paddling is also a torture for them.

"What direction is the wind?" the captain asked at this time.

"South-west wind," answered a sailor.The captain moistened his fingers and sensed it.

"Southwest wind. Why is the southwest wind blowing here?" The captain felt very strange.In the understanding of the captain, there are generally only northeast winds and southeast winds.But there is a southwest wind here.This greatly exceeded his comprehension.What the captain didn't know was that they were about to enter another ocean, You Yang.But now it is more northeasterly wind in winter.The occasional southwest wind is also understandable, after all, the precipitation in Yunnan depends on the southwest monsoon.

"There seems to be some northeasterly wind?" At this time, a sailor reported.

"Captain." The first mate asked while looking at the captain.

"How shall we go?" asked the mate.

"This." The captain began to think, and now the wind direction is a little confused.Because both the southwest wind and the northeast wind appeared.With the help of the wind direction, their speed must be fast, but if the wind direction comes from the sea or blows towards the sea, the risks and benefits are the same.The captain is very aware of this, and the first mate is also aware of this. If they fail to find a place or an island that can provide them with habitat during the voyage, the situation will be very bad for them.

"How do you think we should go?" the captain asked at this time.

"I'm not sure about this." The first mate said at this time.After the captain saw this, he couldn't help but tug.

"You will also have your own ship in the future. This ship will sail according to your own judgment. The difference between the first mate and the captain is judgment. Whether it is right or wrong, there must be an answer, even if it is wrong. In the future, you must Bear it." The captain said to the first mate.

"Tell me your answer." The captain asked.

"Facing the land, this is also very beneficial to us. We can know a little about the wind direction, as well as human geography." The first mate said.

"Alright⊥heading towards Land 6." The captain finally decided.

"Toward land. Go forward." The chief mate shouted loudly⊥In this way, the Korean merchant ship set sail again. This time they headed to land, passing through the Malay Peninsula, Myanmar, and Vietnam along the way.As far as they can get there, that will be up to them.

In the Western Regions, there was also Qin's special apricot who also learned about this situation.

"The Peacock Dynasty?" the shopkeeper asked Wupa, and Wupa quickly sold some small commodities given by the people of Qin. These commodities are very precious and rare to them, such as lighters, mirrors, guns, and gunpowder. Not only these, but the tea delivered by the state of Qin made the local people rush to buy it.And the shopkeeper only knows a little about these things.

"Yes, it is the Maurya Dynasty. In the south, there is a very big country. It is very big. They also have a large population. It seems that it is that country. They have their own civilization. They have their own country and the army is relatively strong. The number is large. .Besides, they seem to have elephant soldiers. I heard that it is very difficult to fight.” Upa said.

"En." The shopkeeper nodded.

"Can you go into more detail?" asked the shopkeeper.

"It can't be done. These things are all heard. If you want to know more details, you have to have something, exchange it, and get it from the merchant." Upa said a little cunningly.The things that the people of Qin gave last time were quickly sold.And he also made a lot of money. The shrewd Upa hoped that the other party could give more things.

"This. This is for you." As he spoke, the shopkeeper thought about it.I remembered that I still had a piece of jade in my hand.

"This is jade. This thing is very valuable." The shopkeeper gave it to the other party, and it was a seized item.

"En. Good. I will ask for news. However, I also heard a piece of news." At this time, Upa said heartily.

"What news?" asked the shopkeeper.

"That's right, the Yuezhi people, they seem to have reached the Maurya Dynasty. Anyway, they are heading south." Upa said.

"People from Yuezhi?" the shopkeeper asked in disbelief.

"Yes, the Yuezhi people, the Yuezhi people who were defeated by you, are actively preparing for war. It seems that the firearms you provided are helping them a lot." Upa said.

"Our firearm?" The shopkeeper was even more surprised.

"Yes. We don't know what the situation is. Anyway, firearms are the most powerful weapons. He can easily kill elephant soldiers. And the killing is very fast. No one can resist it." Upa said.

"If you can provide more firearms, I think you can make more money," Upa said.

"Very good. Upa, the information you provided is very good." Hearing this, the shopkeeper encouraged Upa to continue to inquire about the news.The shopkeeper also began to sort out these materials.Rewrite two copies of the most recently received material.Hand it over to your own subordinates, and let your subordinates send it away.Because these materials are too precious to Qin.

But the actual situation is that Qin State accidentally entered the Western Regions prematurely, which promoted a major change in the entire history → it took a long time for the Yuezhi people in history to expand to the south and enter the Yu, and establish Guishuang in the North empire.However, Qin's rapid expansion in the Western Regions suddenly backlogged the overall westward migration of the original residents of the Western Regions.The situation of westward migration is divided into two development directions, one to the south and one to the north.The state of Qin still doesn't understand the situation in the north, but the progress of the development in the south has far exceeded the historical process that the original history should have developed.

Shang Wen didn't think of this, but this is also the historical process that Qin should follow.Compared with history, during the Han Dynasty after the Qin Dynasty, the overall jurisdiction over the Western Regions tended to be loose.In the Tang Dynasty, it was only equivalent to the military management of the Western Regions by the Central Plains Dynasty, while the Qin State suddenly surpassed the efforts of the subsequent dynasties.Parts of the Western Regions have become the territory of several important states of Qin State.Qin will firmly control the management.

Southwest Line.

"Those who do special operations are really crazy." Several soldiers of the Qin Army stood in the middle of the trench and roasted a fire, and another soldier roasted his boots.

"In such weather, entering such an area to fight. It's just a joke." A corporal said while warming himself by the fire.

"Your boots stink, stink. And your feet. It's disgusting. I can't even eat." The corporal cursed at the soldier who was baking the boots.

"Stop scolding. He has trench disease." A medical soldier said as he warmed to the fire.

"Everyone has it to varying degrees. It's too humid in the trenches. Our boots are not breathable. It's easy to suffer from such diseases." Said the medic.

"Is this, that, serious?" a second-class soldier asked.

"If it is serious, it will be rotten, and the limb will have to be amputated in the end. But everyone is not serious, but the smell is bad. In such cold weather, everyone should take off their boots and change a few more pairs of socks to prevent this situation. Keep going," said the medic.
