"En." Han Shu nodded.
"That's what you said. Let's do it like this," Han Shu nodded and said.
State of Zhao, in the Palace of King Zhao.A fierce debate is going on.
"The situation in Zhao State is currently in crisis, and the miners occupy the mines and will never leave. Qin State is eyeing it. The domestic situation in Zhao State is unstable. It is only natural for General Li Mu to come forward to stabilize the situation." A Chinese doctor who responded to Gong Zijia stood up and said arrive.
"Mr. Wu'an has already been in the position of prominent position. If he is further ranked in the position, he will be afraid of power." A minister with white hair and long beard said.
"That's right, Mr. Wu'an already holds the military power in his hands, if he has the power of prime minister in his hands." Some ministers said worriedly.
"The prime minister of my state of Zhao is elected, and the proposal is only for the election of the prime minister. Mr. Wu An is just a candidate, so don't worry about it." A slightly younger military officer stood up and said.
"Don't worry, it's easy to say." Some civil servants objected.
"Hmph." The young military officer snorted coldly at this time.Other civil servants accused each other of being disrespectful.
"Whether this Li Mu should be the prime minister or not. I really don't know if we can solve the situation in the Zhao country. It's not a matter of consumption at present." Several nobles gathered together to discuss in a low voice.
"That's right. I heard that Qin State is making a deal with those miners. What kind of coal is exchanged for grain. Damn it. The coal in our mine is exchanged for gold. But in exchange for grain, how much can those broken grains be exchanged for?" A piece of money. These stupid miners are really idiots." A middle-aged nobleman in gorgeous clothes scolded dissatisfiedly.
"Isn't that right, those old fools, the Qin people lied to them." Another middle-aged nobleman said dissatisfiedly.
"I heard that the people of Qin State traded arms for them. I'm really pissed off. These Qin people are really nothing." The middle-aged nobleman said.
"If it goes on like this, we won't be able to defeat those idiot miners at all. They have food and ammunition, how can we fight this war," said a teenage nobleman waving his hands.His voice was a little bit, which attracted the attention of civil servants.The others kept silent, saying that they had nothing to do with this person.
"Look at our king." An old minister looked at King Zhao on the stage.King Zhao closed his eyes and dozed off, because he spent too much time playing around with his concubine last night.In the court hall, he dozed off unknowingly.Mainly the topics are very boring.
And Guo Kai did not discuss with them.He felt very annoyed in his heart, but also felt very aggrieved, why, because Young Master Jia actually proposed to re-compete Xuexiang, it was obvious that he could not trust him, Guo Kai, and at the same time accused him of his limited ability, Guo Kai thought it was Full of grievances, at this moment, he felt his heart was cold.
"These equipments are all yours." The young man waved his hand generously.
"These are all us," the tribal leader asked in surprise.
"Yes. These munitions, as well as food, cloth, salt, etc. These things are all yours. As long as you obey our orders. If you don't listen, we can let you listen. In the current situation, you should Understand what's going on with your situation," the boy said in a threatening tone.
The tribal leader excitedly opened the box and checked all kinds of supplies, for which they were too short.
"I want you to stabilize here first. After the situation is stabilized, it's easy to say anything." The boy said.
"You have to withstand the attack of the Huns and then stabilize. We will continuously provide you with various materials to support you." The boy said.
"En. Good." The tribal leader kept nodding his head and said yes.
"En. You can take care of yourself." The boy said.This is the first thing they have to do, to stabilize these northern nomadic tribes, and then slowly infiltrate them and control their armed forces. These supplies are nothing to Qin, and they are nothing to the entire merchant group.But if they want to arm an army by themselves, it will take a lot of time.Lots of money.This is a shortcut, they must control the opponent's armed forces as soon as possible.This is the result of discussions among businessmen from Eastern Mengzhou, and they have done the same.This is the key to their first step.
At this time, the Prime Minister's Office of the State of Qin is discussing a major event.
"According to what we have learned, the first batch of transshipment commodities from Qi State has already entered South Korea, and most of the transactions have been completed. The money they traded bought a lot of food. It seems that what they lack is still food. Shall we provide them with some food and open up some situations." The Minister of Economic Affairs said.
"Compared with food, I think Qi State lacks enough funds. We have a lot of funds in the bank, but it's hard to say how to use these funds." The bank minister said.He believes that lending some funds to Qi State is the most important thing.With funds, Qi State can do more things, so that Qin State can get more interest, and can control Qi State by controlling capital.
"En." Meng Yi just nodded.
"This is just the first trip. The first trip is also a beginning." Meng Yi said.
"With the arrival of merchant ships, more Qi people will arrive at the Korean border. Then more goods will flow into us. The problem is, we have a lot of resources here, how can they communicate." Meng Yi said .
"If a businessman wants to do business, he must have a business route, and now there is an urgent need for it. But we can't intervene yet." Meng Yi said.
"This issue, I think it should be tested diplomatically before entering." Meng Yi thought for a while and said.
"The next step is food." Meng Yi said.
"You know, we have a lot of grain in our hands. Qin's arable land has expanded a lot at once. In addition, each state has its own large farms and pastures. Coupled with the promotion of agricultural technology, we have accumulated too much grain in our hands. The price of wheat in Qin State can't be lowered any lower. This year's grain planting area is a little less, but still a lot." Meng Yi said.
"If these grains continue to be squeezed, I think everyone understands what the consequences will be." Meng Yi said.
"So, at present, the grain must be sold. Find a way to sell it. These grains, meat, can no longer be squeezed in our hands. Otherwise, it will be too big for Qin's agricultural production." Meng Yi said.
"En." All the ministers nodded.
"Prime Minister, I think the coal-for-grain plan on the border of Zhao State is very good. Our demand is coal, and there is a lot of food. Zhao State has a lot of coal, but they don't have money, so we exchange it directly with them. In this way, we Imported coal is very cheap. And Zhao Guo has food, so many people don’t have to go hungry.” said the Minister of Economy.
"This idea is very good." Meng Yi nodded and said.
"It's just that the scale of exchanging coal for grain is very small. If it starts on a large scale, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhao Guo to say. And each country has different situations. If it is exchanged, I am afraid there will be difficulties to varying degrees." The Minister of Finance worried Speaking of.
"It's hard to return, but it's better than putting food in your hands." The Minister of Economic Affairs said.

"Grain must be exported on a large scale, otherwise the long-term squeeze will be very detrimental to Qin's agricultural production. The question is how to export these grains to other places. This is the most important issue we need to discuss." The Minister of Economy said.
"Currently there are only a few countries that need food, but the money that these countries can give is also very limited. I heard that the country of Yan is exchanging handicrafts. South Korea is better, they use money Purchased, but the quantity purchased is very limited. After all, their world can also produce more grain. Besides, there is Chu State. Chu State also needs more grain. But it is not very prosperous, and Chu State can produce more The food is also an important reason." The Minister of Economy analyzed.
"Food can only be effective if it is sold to densely populated areas. At present, there is a great demand for food in densely populated areas, but they do not have enough money to buy it. The main reason is low purchasing power." The Minister of Economy further analyzed that .
"If we lend them money to buy food, we might be better off," the bank minister said.
"Lend money to them, fearing that they will not pay it back. Such a situation will eventually form an endless loop in our hands." The Minister of Economy said.
"It seems that this problem is difficult to solve. The current price of grain is falling further. This is not good news for us. If the price falls, the interests of farmers will suffer a lot, and Qin's There is too much food, but it cannot be sold, and these squeezed food will become the biggest harm." Meng Yi said.
"Prime Minister, I think these grains can be made into wine on a large scale." The Deputy Minister of Economy suggested.
"Brewing," Meng Yi asked.
"Yes, brewing," said the deputy economic minister.
"I found that the consumption of alcohol is very large. Especially in the direction of Chu State and the northern defense line, the consumption of alcohol is the largest. Qin State currently has a large amount of grain. Previously, wine making was not allowed, and the law also allowed It is clearly stipulated that there is rarely enough grain to make wine, but the situation is different now. Qin has quite a lot of grain that can be used to make wine. And the accumulation of these grains is also a problem. If the wine is exported, I think, It shouldn't be a big problem," said the deputy economic minister.
"Even eating is a problem for them. Can they afford this wine?" the Minister of Finance asked questioningly.
"That's right. Brewing wine is good, but they can't get enough to eat, how can they drink?" Others also discussed this issue.
"En. That's right, wine making can indeed consume a lot of food in Qin State. As for how to sell these wines. This question needs to be thought about." Meng Yi thinks this is a way of thinking, as long as a large amount of food can be consumed, it can make people An increase in the price of grain in the Qin State can give the farmers and ranchers in the Qin State some opportunities to make up for their losses. Otherwise, a large amount of grain will be piled up in the warehouse, which will greatly affect the enthusiasm of the farmers to grow grain.
"I think there is only one way to consume Qin's large amount of food." At this time, the Minister of Communications, who was calmly thinking about everyone's suggestions, put forward his own opinion.
"What way," the crowd asked.
"Build the road," said the Minister of Transportation.
"Building roads," Meng Yi asked.
"Yes. Road construction, only road construction can solve this problem. As long as we help the six countries build a large number of railways and roads, we can gather a lot of manpower, and these manpower are abundant in the six countries. As long as we build roads, they will In order to have enough food, they must come to work on our construction site. In this way, the grain of Qin State will be of great use, which is far more cost-effective than using money. As long as Qin State reaches a consensus with these countries, it will continue to This problem can be solved by repairing roads," said the Minister of Transport.
