"Yes. Is there a telegram from Guanzhong?" the young man asked.

"Well. It seems that there is a copy." The dispatcher took out the telegram while speaking.It's just that this is sent to a person named Tian Chang.

"I am," said the young man.

"En. Okay. It's 72 yuan in total." Yuan Shuyuan said.

"En. Here." He said.Tian Chang put a pen and paper on the counter.

"Sign here," said the delivery clerk.

Tian Chang signed, and then checked the telegram.The content of the telegram is very long.Tian Chang looked at it immediately.After a quick look.Tian Chang left with a serious face.

State of Zhao, within the city of Handan.The city is crowded with people, and this day is the last day for Zhao Guo to elect the prime minister.The candidates for the prime minister who are running for the various parties try their best to win people over for the final election.

"This way. This way. There are copper coins for voting." A Zhao Guoren stood on a high platform and shouted loudly.Then he waved his arms and shouted loudly.

"This way. This way. If you choose, you will be given copper coins." Zhao Guoren shouted loudly.

While shouting, a man from Zhao State who didn't know the truth came to the stage.Throw in a piece of paper in your hand.When the Zhao people in the city gave each other a handful of copper coins.

"See it. I see it. If you choose, you will give it. If you choose, you will give it." Zhao Guoren shouted even louder at this time.

"Oh, really give me money." An old man called out in surprise.

"Yes. If so, I will go too." A middle-aged man said.

"It's a pity. If I had known that I could give so much money on this last day, I would have waited a little longer." Another person who looked like a merchant said regretfully.

In order to get the prime minister's tame.Various candidates have come up with their final trump card, which is to use money to bribe them.This trick was also started by Guo Kai.But also the most effective.Many Zhao people don't have any favorable impression of Zhao's election at all.They don't know the candidate at all.They don't understand what the propaganda says.But there is one thing they understand very well, that is, the money they give is not ordinary.A lot of people are coming to vote now.And the money for this election is also very high.

Many Zhao people don't care about the candidates, what they care about is how much money they give.There are many candidates, especially on this day.In order to be tamed.They raise prices no matter the cost.A coin from the first day of voting.It became the current fifty.If there are many family members.The family can get a lot of money.Such a temptation is too great.

Candidates are scattered around the four cities.Many people from Zhao Guo go back and forth just to see who opens the price higher.Then vote out.So they can get that money.Because the money is different, and the flow of people is more frequent.In this way, the city of Handan in Zhao State was very lively.Watching the excitement outside the window.Li Mu smiled slightly.As if all this had nothing to do with me.

Li Mu just watched things like the election silently.

Although it is no longer an open secret to bribe elections, various forces have resorted to a variety of tricks in order to be able to pretend to be a prime minister.But the end result is still puzzling.

Because it was Li Mu who was elected.Compare Li Mu's campaign.Throughout the election process, Li Mu had very few opportunities to show up.Even on voting day.Neither of them showed up.But it turned out that Li Mu was elected.This result is unacceptable to many people.

In the eyes of other candidates, such a result must have been cheated by Li Mu.You must know that they spent or received money for this election, but in the end Li Mu was elected.This result is really unacceptable to them.

On the western coast of the South China Sea, which is where southern Vietnam is today.Two Chu wooden boats docked quietly.Compared with other Chu merchant ships.The two wooden boats looked very dilapidated.

Among the two wooden boats, the mast of a wooden boat was dumped on board.If it hadn't been for the other ship towing the ship, I am afraid that the two ships would not have been able to dock.

"This is the unexplored place in the south." A middle-aged man with a big beard, wearing dilapidated clothes and looking very tired walked off the boat and said.

"Old oligarch. There is no one here!" At this time, a young man who was also dilapidated boldly said.

"There should be no one. This must be our own place." The middle-aged man said excitedly.

"Great. We finally have our own land." Those who stepped off the boat said excitedly.

"Great. Great." They hugged each other.He clasped his hands tightly and shouted excitedly.And the middle-aged man called the old oligarch knelt down on the ground excitedly.

"God. We finally have our own land." The middle-aged man exclaimed excitedly.His hands were full of the dirt of the land.

These excited weeping people came from the state of Chu.A large-scale slave riot broke out in Chu State.These people were slaves under the control of the nobles. They took the opportunity to escape after the riot, and they ran to the southeast coast of Chu State.Went to the colony on some ships.Then survive in the colony by doing some jobs that no one wants to do, but deep down they still have a great desire for the land.Those colonies that have been developed develop very rapidly.The population gradually became denser, but the colonies were established on the narrow and long coastal plains, and in some places it was impossible to expand deeper into the western mountains.Also because of the gradually dense population.And land is scarce.Some of the farmers who were looking for land, and these slaves, the more they wanted to go south, because they heard.The further south you go, the less people there are.And the vastness of land there is, there is no land there.This is for farmers and slaves who seek to have their own piece of land.It's a very big temptation.So they organized themselves.Form an expedition.I want to go further south and open up a colony of my own.

These escaped slaves are very obsessed with owning a piece of land, and this obsession is also reflected in the peasants.Land has become a symbol of wealth. In Chu State, people are very eager and endlessly pursuing land. Land is equivalent to gold.Gold is very limited.But the land can produce food.numb.These are the necessities of life.Once you have land, you have taken root.

at the same time.In the south of Chu State, it is about the coastal area of ​​Guangxi.Another colony of Chu State is conducting a historic transaction.

"Will they sign this contract? They only speak their own words, they don't even have words. We can play tricks on the Internet. Aren't these people afraid?" A man in his 30s wearing a captain's cap looked Talk to the other party.

"Whatever? Our land can be expanded. And just by giving them some supplies, we can get such a large piece of land. I think we still have great benefits. Regardless of these, as long as we get the land, everything That's easy, sir." Said a man in a Qin Army officer's cap beside him.At his waist was a pistol.Behind him stood more musketeers with muskets on their backs, and there was a small artillery facing this side further away, as long as there was any accident here.They can come in for reinforcements at any time.

They are the colonial militia team that Chu State just occupied here.On the opposite side is a group of natives.Natives hold blowdarts.Javelins, stone axes and other weapons.There are still some paints on the face, and there are many of them.There are about 500 people.There are only nearly 100 people in the colony.There is a huge difference in military strength.

One with disheveled hair.A person with some tattoos on his arm was looking at the document, and the colony sent a person who knew a little bit of language to explain something with his hands.On a table made of several wooden boxes, there are two pieces of paper, a writing brush, and a red seal of drawing.

"It's really troublesome." The man wearing the captain's hat said impatiently.

"Sir, wait a minute. After all, what we are exchanging is land. These things are all things that we wear and transport. What we exchanged is a large piece of land. This piece of land is as big as a county." It's so big. Such a big place is enough for us." The man wearing an officer's cap said excitedly.

No matter how you calculate this deal, it is very cost-effective for the people who came to colonize Chu.Because of the lack of supplies, these indigenous people are very interested in the things in the hands of the foreign colonial Chu people.

From telescopes, mirrors, rice bowls, even chopsticks have become things that they are very interested in.but.When just arrived.The two did not clash, since few were able to come from the sea.And these indigenous people are extremely simple.They think that people from outside are guests, and they will treat each other hospitablely.It is really such a tradition to avoid a bloody battle from happening.So, after entering this land.The Chu people who came to colonize settled down.

It was these Chu people who settled down.The two parties began to contact each other.The aborigines are very interested in the things brought by the Chu people, and they have never seen many things.At the beginning, the Chu people were generous to each other.The other party also gives the other party something of their own.food.prey, and some precious ivory.But with the increase of contact.Chu people began to be dissatisfied with these.They want more land.And land was a lot to these natives.Because their population is relatively small.The understanding of the land is not very extensive, in their view, their own camp is very big.There is no need for excessive pursuit of land.

So after a period of contact.The Chu people, who had special requirements for the land, made a bold request.Exchange the land of the other party with the materials that the aborigines especially like.After some verbal and physical explanations, the aborigines agreed to the request.So the Chu people began to write documents, and both parties signed and pledged, never repenting.In this way, the two parties have completed a transaction from the legal level.

"Oh oh oh." The native explained again.Finally, with the help of the people of Chu State, the paper was stamped.As for the Chu people who were eager to make a deal, they signed and pledged early.After waiting for the other party to make a bet, both parties will each get a copy.Then the land belonged to the Chu people.

The ceremony was quickly over.after the end.The people of Chu State also took out their treasured fine wines to share.The natives are naturally very happy.For alcohol they consider it a delicacy.They like it very much.Among the materials exchanged, alcohol is particularly important.

Obtaining land by means of exchange and trade has become another way for Chu to expand its colonies.compared to the use of force.The use of force has many after effects, and the cost is very good.When you start a war, you need to arm your men.Once armed personnel kill, there must be sacrifices.There will be costs.And those indigenous people often take revenge after being bloody slaughtered. Unless they can be slaughtered at one time, it is easy to cause serious consequences.

The consequence of this is that the indigenous people continue to retaliate.Raid, harass the colony.The first few Chu colonies created were faced with such a situation.The occurrence of this situation is very unfavorable to the development of the Chu colonies.It costs the colony quite a fortune to deal with this.

The exchange method, although it costs a certain amount of materials and money, can avoid the large-scale use of force, and at the same time avoid bloody revenge from the other party.harassment.This is a brand-new method for the development of Chu's colonies.This can save a lot of cost, time and manpower.

Eastern Mengzhou in the north of Qin State.

"News came from Xianyang, Qin State. Prime Minister Shangwen has already reported this matter to the King of Qin. According to the fragments obtained from the left and right, it can be inferred that Prime Minister Shangwen will not embarrass us. On the contrary, Prime Minister Shangwen will give us a lot of convenience. This kind of convenience It's very broad." Tian Chang said excitedly.

"How broad is it?" The middle-aged man on the side asked eagerly.Everyone around looked at each other eagerly.

"Well. According to the telegram, Prime Minister Shangwen wants to set up some kind of colonial company. We want to cooperate with Qin. We are on the territory of the Huns, and we can use more means to benefit Qin. Qin uses the army as our backup On the other hand, we can control a certain amount of armed forces ourselves. We can use non-moving means to deal with the Huns. We can use various methods. In other words, Qin will participate in it." Tian Chang said excitedly.

"Don't understand?" the middle-aged man asked.

"That is to say. The object of our cooperation is Qin, a country." Tian Chang said excitedly rubbing his hands.Hear here.Everyone was very surprised.

"Prime Minister Shangwen of the State of Qin supports our idea. It won't take long. Prime Minister Shangwen's order will come down." Tian Chang said excitedly with a telegram.

"How about Qin Fang? We do this. But it is a great offense to Qin Jun." A middle-aged man asked.

"It doesn't matter. I heard that the King of Qin has approved all these things. The Qin government has to agree even if they don't agree." Tian Chang handed the telegram to others to check.

"Qin Fang is a machine that consumes money. The guns and the soldiers don't consume money. If they were all supported by Qin's farms, Qin would have gone bankrupt long ago." Tian Chang continued.
