"Your Majesty, I have a question." Shang Wen said.King Qin nodded.

"Currently, how many countries in the six countries can still produce food," Shangwen asked.

"This." King Qin looked at Meng Yi.

"Not much. Zhao, South Korea, Yan, Wei, all have only a small part of the land that can produce food. Chu still has a lot of ability to produce food." Meng Yi replied.

"Why is that?" Shangwen asked.

"This." Meng Yi didn't know how to answer.

"Yes. That's the reason." King Qin said with a smile.

"What the Qin State has to do is to attract these countries. The news is fed back from all over the world. I think we should start with the construction of the railway in Qi State. Qin State must first set an example for the world." Shang said.

"En. What's the prime minister's opinion on Qi?" King Qin asked.

"Don't dare." Shang cupped his hands to signal.

"For Qi State, mine, support a Qi State that obeys Qin State, let Qi King step down." Shang said his own

"Oh." Hearing such a bold idea.King Qin was very shocked.Qin Wang knew that Shang's idea was very bold, and he had never done it before, so he was prepared in his heart.But when it comes out.King Qin was still a little shocked.

"Talk about the king of Qin and continued.

"It is difficult for the nobles of the Qi state to support them, and if they support the Qi state like the king of Qi, the state of Qin will not be able to develop a beneficial influence in the state of Qi." Shang said.

"The people of Qi, the nobles of the Qi State, and the king of Qi have been completely divided as representatives of the two classes. I learned from the newspaper that when Linzi of the Qi State was besieged, the nobles escaped from Linzi City. The guards It is really unpopular for all the things to be handed over to the common people. From this point of view, it will be difficult for the nobles of the country to gain a firm foothold in Qi State. Qi State is equivalent to perishing." Shang said.

"Well, why did the prime minister support a Qi country?" King Qin then asked.

"Supporting a state of Qi. It is to reunite the hearts of the people of Qi so that the people of Qi will not be easily dispersed. When they are unified in the future, the people of Qi will be able to submit to Qin." Shang said.

"Submission? How to submit?" King Qin asked.

"This. I don't know. It's just that I think it might be better to do it this way. People in the world are scattered ∷ hearts are not the same. The unification of Qin is to unite the hearts of the people in the world. Spread it out. I'm afraid not Great." Shang Ye said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"Perhaps." Qin Wang felt very bad about Shang's words.do not know why.King Qin always felt this way.Although Shang's way of thinking is peculiar, it is generally different from Qin's way of thinking, which always makes King Qin feel a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty. Prime Minister." At this moment, Yi's assistant walked in and said in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Meng Yi asked.

"Urgent telegram from the Western Regions." Assistant Meng Yi said.

"En." The king of Qin signaled Meng Yi to check Yi to salute, and then sent a telegram to check.The assistant backed away quietly.

"This." Meng Yi handed the telegram to Shang at this time.Still check.

"General Wang Ben led a mobile cavalry battalion to outflank the rear of the Western Region Army and launched an attack. How to solve the next thing. There is really no way." Meng Yi said with a sigh.

The King of Qin took over the telegram from Shang, and Zha Ben was in charge of the entire southern border of the Western Regions.After hearing that one of his fortresses had been attacked, Ben immediately organized a counterattack.The Western Region Army crossed the desert to attack the fortress of Qin State.Once attacked, they will quickly retreat from the desert.Because the Qin army is not familiar with the desert, it is often beyond the reach of the whip. This time Wang Ben led a mobile force to bypass the edge of the desert and launch a surprise attack directly from the side.The army of the Western Regions suffered heavy losses and retreated around the edge of the desert. Ben won a big victory.

"This matter could have been resolved properly. To avoid the occurrence of large-scale funerals. But our situation is not very good now." Meng Yi said from the side.

Shang learned the truth of some things from various news reports.The cause of the incident was that the Qin people ambush each other and covet the other's property.The Western Region Army then mobilized troops and horses to besiege the Qin Army's fortress.After all, Wang Ben was not wrong.But it was wrong.Once the attack is launched.It will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction among the people in the Western Regions and fear that it will trigger a larger-scale military action.

"Things have already happened. It's useless to say anything more." Shang thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty. Next, the State of Qin will strengthen the military defense of the southern border. People from the Western Regions still have certain military strength in the desert area. And the Qin army is widely distributed. I am afraid it will be very unfavorable to the Qin army." Meng Yi worried. Speaking of.

Shang was lost in thought at this time, for such a sudden thing happened.Shang feels that Guan's control over the border is very limited, and what happens in the Western Regions can only be dealt with temporarily by the military chiefs on the border.For a while, I couldn't think of a good way to do it.

Then King Qin and Monk Meng Yi continued to discuss some other details.Shang Ze said everything he could think of.Shang's idea opened up a new way of thinking for King Qin.

In a Chu colony in the south, an important meeting is being held in two nearby colonies. The content of the meeting is the defense of the colony.

"Here. Everyone be quiet." A middle-aged man stood up and said.

"I called everyone together today. It's to discuss some important matters." Nian said.Nian's surname Huang♀ was promoted based on Chun Shenjun's surname.

"I'm Huang Busan." Nian said.

"He is the supreme officer of our Huangzhou colony." Huang Busan said slowly.

"Officer Huang. If you have something to say, hurry up. Everyone has work to do." A young man stood up and said.

"I know you little Maohuang. There are things to be busy on the pier. But this matter concerns everyone and the survival and development of the entire colony. No matter how busy you are, you have to listen to me, Huang Busan." Huang Busan was dissatisfied Speaking of.

"Yes. Yes. I'm sorry. Master Huang." The young man cupped his hands and said.

"Okay. Let's listen to what Master Huang has to say." A skinny old craftsman said.

"I summoned the chiefs of the two nearby colonies here to discuss the issue of merging our colonies for common defense," Huang Busan said.

"As you all know, some indigenous people have been attacking our colony frequently recently. Although the colony has strengthened its defenses, they are still attacking us. Although our losses are not large, such things always happen from time to time. Unfavorable." Huang Busan said.

"Who else would have done this. At the beginning, if Master Huang hadn't ordered the troops to attack the aborigines, would there be such a thing like today? I don't know how many people died at once." A member of parliament at the bottom said dissatisfied.

The reason why the aborigines continue to attack the colonies is because the colonies have launched militias to attack the aborigines before.In order to expand the land of the colony.But most of them failed.The reason is that militia training and tactical accomplishment are very limited, and they are used to launch attacks.Strength is very limited.The result is naturally unfavorable. X immediately launched a counterattack to retaliate against the colony.

But the attacks intensified.Because the colonies are much richer than the places where the natives live.There are many things that the natives have never seen before, such as fields that can grow food, they have never seen at all, so the attack became a natural thing.Colonies that have lost a certain amount of power can only defend passively.

"In addition, a lot of people have come to the colony recently. The number of people in the colony is constantly increasing. But the land that the colony can accommodate is very limited. So, I think. Will the three colonies near us be merged into one, so that the three colonies will be It can solve the land and population problems." Huang Busan said.

The three colonies mentioned by Huang Busan are two nearby colonies, which are different from Huangzhou.Huangzhou was a port established colony.His dependencies are mainly ports.Only a small amount of land.The two nearby colonies are entirely cultivated land, and most of them come from self-cultivating farmers who cannot pay taxes in Chu State.They came here to find a piece of land of their own.

in the colonies.They have no taxes to pay.There is no need to be responsible to anyone.They organized each other to form a loose fabric to replace the government, and they did not pay any taxes. The two colonies were mainly agricultural.

"It's not right. I heard that this Huangzhou has to pay taxes. If we merge the two lands, I'm afraid it will be bad for us." A young farmer said worriedly.

"Well. We are here to avoid those evil nobles who come here and pay taxes if they come here. We don't do anything." An old farmer said.

Farmers are always concerned about the harvest. They finally have their own piece of land, and the harvest is all their own. Of course they are very worried.

"Everyone, don't worry about merging the land into one piece. I can guarantee that I don't have to pay taxes." Huang Bushang immediately assured.

But those people still can't believe that such a thing happened.

"This land cannot be handed over. There is still a lot of arable land nearby, which we can reclaim. If more people come, what should we do?" said a farmer in Nian.

"But if people don't come, there will be no women on the land. If there are no women, can you marry a wife?" An old farmer with long eyebrows asked back.

"That's it." A young man echoed.
