On the one hand, while Qin State bankers are expanding their business, they are also actively preventing their opponents from becoming stronger. The competition among Qin State’s banking industry is extremely fierce. When Qin State established a city bank, Qin State’s old Bankers in the banking system of the world are already wary of their banker rivals.They restrict city banks from issuing long-distance loans. In terms of bill business, they only have the business of exchange, but not the business of issuance.This is a serious loss for them.And the bankers also achieved their purpose of suppressing the city banks in such a way.The bankers of Qin State were unanimously opposed to Zhao State Bank’s desire to expand such a business, because they wanted to oppose the emergence of potential opponents, they wanted to control, maintain, and monopolize the current situation, and they absolutely did not want a strong rivals steal their business. m

"You're back." Meng Yi said anxiously when he saw Shang Wen coming back.

"Well. What happened recently?" Shang Wen asked.

"There are many things." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"The thing is like this, you should read this telegram first." Meng Yi handed Li Mu's telegram to Shang Wen.

Shangwen took the telegram and checked it.

"Li Mu's request was a little too fast." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, our bankers said the same thing, and they all objected." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Against?" Shang Wen asked Meng Yi.

"Yes." Meng Yi nodded.

"Yes. It should be opposed." Shangwen thought for a while.

"The reason for their opposition is the opposition in the bill business." Shang Wen said.

"Yes. How do you know?" Meng Yi asked.

"How do you know? If you analyze it from the perspective of a banker, you will understand." Shangwen said.

"The bankers in Qin State, especially the bankers in Guanzhong, are trying their best to maintain their current dominant position. The city banks in Qin State only have remittance business and cannot issue bills. This is the reason, while the people of Zhao State I didn't understand this, so I came in all at once." Shang Wen said.

"Oh." Meng Yi suddenly understood what Shang Wen meant, that is exactly what the banker of Qin State did.From the interests of the bankers, everything is explained.

"Just, what should we do?" Meng Yi asked.

"What should I do?" Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi.

"To be honest, from a long-term point of view, liberalizing the bill business will be of great help to the development of our banking industry, because we can let the other party rely on us if we let them independently establish another existing system. In this case, it will take a long time, which is not a good thing for us." Shang Wen said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.

"However, it is not yet possible. This is a patent. In addition, there is technical support. The bank in Zhao Guo has just been established. They have not yet contacted such operations and anti-counterfeiting technology. Shang Wen believes that the time is not yet ripe. But Shangwen did not expect that Zhao Guoguo was extremely short of funds.

"What else is there?" Shang Wen treated Li Mu's matter as a normal matter.

"There is also the flank security of the Hexi Corridor. According to the telegram report sent by General Wang Ben, the General Staff believes that the Qiang people in the mountains may launch an attack on us this winter. But we can't solve this problem. The Ministry of National Defense also has this opinion. From their point of view, launching an attack on the area south of the Qilian Mountains will completely solve the problem, and the cost of the war will be too high. The merchant team has no interests to drive them to attack." Meng Yi said.

"I think we should think of a way." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Yes. We really should think of a way to solve the flank security problem of the Hexi Corridor. Wei Liao said that the Hexi Corridor is too important to us." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, if we cannot solve the flank security of the Hexi Corridor, we will not be able to settle down in the Western Regions, which is a threat to us." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.Shangwen nodded.

Shang Wen is very clear about the importance of the strategic location of the Hexi Corridor to Qin.The same is true of the Tang Dynasty in history, facing the attack of Tubo.The Tang Dynasty lost the strategic location of the Hexi Corridor, and as a result, the entire Western Regions became an enclave.It can be said that the Hexi Corridor is the throat of the entire Western Regions and a strategic location for Qin to connect with the Western Regions.And constant harassment can have a major impact on Qin State, because in this case, Qin State must allocate a large amount of power to distribute power on the flank of the Hexi Corridor. In this way, Qin State's power in the Western Regions will be reduced a lot .This is a situation that Shang Wen does not want to see, and it is also a threat that has a major impact on Qin's strategy in the Western Regions.

"Currently there is no good way to solve this problem." Shang Wen said helplessly to Meng Yi.

"Qin currently doesn't have financial funds to support things in Zhejiang. Moreover, we don't have a good way to deal with those Qiang people in the mountains. Use troops." Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi.

"I really can't think of any good way to do it." Shangwen said.

Just when Shangwen had no solution to the Hexi Corridor strategy.In a military base of the Qin Dynasty in the northern border of the Western Regions.Agronomists from Guanzhong Nei, Qin State, made new breakthroughs.

"Master, look. This is cotton." A Qin State Agricultural University student excitedly held the flowered cotton.

"En." A bald Buddhist monk nodded.

"This, cotton." The monk said in a relatively blunt Chinese language.

"Well, master, I see. This is cotton. We finally planted cotton. It seems that it is still possible to grow cotton here in northern Xinjiang, especially on a large scale." The agricultural college student said excitedly arrive.

"I, our place, all use this, this." The master then said to the agricultural students.

"En. I know, we have linen and silk here. Things like silk are too expensive. They are all linen, but this cotton is a bit too luxurious to make cloth. This thing is mainly used to make gunpowder." Agricultural Science students said.

"Currently, our state of Qin manufactures smokeless gunpowder from catkins. Now it's ready. With cotton, we can use it on a large scale." Said the university student of agriculture.

"Oh." The Buddhist master nodded.This master of Buddhism was bought by the college student from a slave trader for a gold, because the philosophy college student thinks such a slave is very strange, because other slaves are working hard to survive, but nothing seems to happen to the other party Similarly, this can only be done with a unique concentration. Under such circumstances, he decided to buy it.After buying it, the two parties went through a period of study and discussion.Gradually, the master learned the Chinese dialect of Qin State, and also had some preliminary understanding of Qin State.Agronomy, on the other hand, received some special seeds from the masters, including cotton seeds.

But by then it was already late.In order to grow cotton earlier.College students figured out how to use the greenhouse.

In fact, after the large-scale appearance of glass, especially after it became an important building decoration material.In agronomy, greenhouses have been used to conduct some research. In addition to research, some farmers in the Qin State Pass specially use greenhouses to grow some off-season vegetables and fruits for sale.And never before.

"It's great to have cotton. This kind of thing should be planted on a large scale." An agricultural student said excitedly.talking.College students began to continue their research.

However, the first thing that college students think of is the use in the military field.With the large-scale use of smokeless gunpowder, Qin State's demand for catkins is increasing.But the time for catkins to emerge is very short.Moreover, planting willow trees is very troublesome, and the cycle is particularly long, which makes the production of smokeless gunpowder in Qin State not too high.However, Qin State's consumption of smokeless gunpowder is particularly large.Often the consumption of machine gun ammunition of a machine gun just consumes a large amount of smokeless gunpowder.On the one hand, it is the huge demand of Qin State for smokeless gunpowder, and on the other hand, it is the reality that the production of smokeless gunpowder in Qin State cannot be increased.Faced with such a demand, the military gave a huge bonus to develop the production of smokeless gunpowder.Because the military had seen the prospect of using smokeless gunpowder.Therefore, the development of cotton by agricultural college students firstly meets the military's demand for smokeless gunpowder, but turns a blind eye to the huge role of cotton.The demand for cotton can be regarded as unlimited demand, because people have a great demand for clothing.Cotton demand is here too.

"We should expand the planting of cotton. I really don't know how much cotton you have there?" the agricultural college student said excitedly.

"This, a lot. A lot." The Buddhist master imitated and waved his arms.

The master of Buddhism came from India. He set off from today's Pakistan through the mountains of Afghanistan, and then entered southern Xinjiang. Unfortunately, when he entered southern Xinjiang, he was captured by slave traders in Qin State.The Buddhist master who originally preached became a slave of Qin for no reason.Fortunately, a college student of agriculture in Qin State rescued him. In order to thank the college student, he gave the other party cotton and other seeds that are common in India. He did not expect that the other party would be so useful.

No matter what happened on the way, this was a legendary exchange for Qin State, because Qin State obtained cotton from India, and with cotton, Qin State could overcome some difficulties.

Cotton is a kind of platinum.The fact that Qin has mastered platinum means that he has mastered an important resource.

For the Qin State, there is a situation in which it has mastered platinum.Shang Wen didn't know at all, and Shang Wen didn't know about some scientific research projects, but he knew that in the future, the Qin State would meet all these necessary things together.

Daliang City of Wei State.

"Have you heard about it?" A Wei native looked around and said.

"What?" Some Wei people with good deeds gathered around.

"I heard that the state of Qin wants the state of Wei to establish some parliaments. These assemblies are beneficial to us, but the king of Wei does not support it." The Wei man spread the news in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" A middle-aged Wei man said without any surprise.

"It's nothing. Who is the king, he can think about us. Impossible. Impossible." The middle-aged Wei Guoren said disdainfully.

"It doesn't matter what kind of Qin people, we people, it's impossible." The middle-aged Wei Guoren said.

When other Wei states heard such a news, they all expressed their incomprehension and disdain. They didn't care about these things fundamentally. What they cared about was their current situation.For these, they are not interested. m

"This." The Wei man who spread the news really didn't believe it.For such a news, the Wei people didn't care.
