"Hurry up. If you don't pay taxes, be careful and catch you before your lord." The petty official threatened.At this time, several people next to him started to fight, and two of them opened the fire door. This is the rhythm of fighting.

"Huh la la." The Chu people here were not willing to lag behind, and they also opened their fire, preparing to violently resist the tax.But at this time, the businessman held down the leader with one hand.

"I'm coming. Don't move around." The businessman whispered to the leader.The person who saw the leader closed the fire door again.It will not continue to act.But the little official took a few steps back fiercely.

He also saw that these Chu merchants had weapons, and he was also afraid, but he is an official here, so naturally his tone should be tougher. If he can't suppress the other party from the beginning, how can he survive with money in the future? These small officials , and these subordinates are living on the oil and water they collected from taxes. It can be said that whether they can get these taxes is their livelihood.

"This, of course we will give it. Of course we will." As he spoke, the businessman took out a gold cake and two gold coins and one coin from his pocket.

"We are new here and have no income yet. These are our taxes." The businessman gave the gold cake to the other party while talking.These are just small things. ' said the businessman.

"En." Seeing that the other party was submissive, and that the other party had a gun, the little official didn't say anything.Nod slightly.

"Okay. It's not easy for you. It's not easy to do business here in Liaodong. You just need to pay taxes." The little official held the gold cake and three gold and silver coins.

"You guys do business." The little official nodded in satisfaction, and then walked away with his own people. The people around saw that the other party was subdued, so they didn't say anything.Everyone disperses immediately.

"Why?" a Chu countryman holding a musket asked the businessman dissatisfied.

"We come here to do business, so we don't need to get entangled with these things. If we do something here, our business can't be done." The businessman said angrily.

"This." The Chu man felt particularly wronged.

"Okay." The leader at the back persuaded, and then walked away with his own people.

Although the businessman felt dissatisfied, his anger soon dissipated.Because the Yan people quickly surrounded them, wanting to see if they had any good things.All the merchant wants is to sell his goods and make some money.The money they earn is enough to make up for the taxes they pay.What's more, they didn't pay much. Compared with the taxes collected by the aristocrats of the Chu state who kept extorting money all the way, the state of Yan collected too little.

"My lord, these unicycles are going all the way to the west. If there are some accidents, it will be difficult for us." A civil servant wearing a plate-shaped hat whispered to Tian Heng along the eastern coast of Qi State.

"En. Of course I know this." Tian Heng said.

"I have ordered them to go down. I sent more than 500 people to follow them. I think these people are enough to protect these wheelbarrows. And these people still want to come back to get their share of the money, so they should come back." Tian Heng said.

"That's very good." The civil servant nodded reassuringly.Tian Heng ordered the craftsmen to continue to make more wheelbarrows to carry goods. Only by completing these trades could he make Qi rich in a short time.Only after getting rich can Qi become stronger.

Just when Tian Heng solved these problems step by step.Qin State is also paying attention to what happened in Qi State.

"How to solve the problem of Qi State," Meng Yi asked everyone.Everyone was also at a loss.Meng Yi decided to hold a cabinet meeting to discuss this matter. Meng Yi was keenly aware that something big might happen in the east.If you synthesize the recent news a few times, you can find that something is wrong.

According to reports in the newspapers, King Qi has reached some agreements with the Chu army, and these agreements make King Qi the puppet King Qi of Qi.In fact, it is the nobles of Chu who control Qi.In this way, King Qi's political role will be used by the people of Chu.

At this time, news came from South Korea that the overseas business route that originally passed through the Yangtze River waterway was suddenly diverted to Yan and Qi.In this way, the roles of Yan and Qi will become more important.This means that a large amount of goods poured into the two countries at once.The economic value of the two countries suddenly became very important, compared with Chu.The state of Chu showed signs of weakening.In this way, Qin will have to adjust its strategy in a timely manner.

"If the trade route is really transferred northward to Qi and Yan, then the role of Chu will be greatly reduced. However, the cost of goods transported to our Qin country, especially the transportation cost, will be very high. It’s better for Yan State to talk about it, but Qi State.” The Minister of Transport said worriedly.

"There is also a railway that can pass through the country of Yan. From Liaodong, it passes through Yandu, then turns to Julu, passes through Handan, and then passes through Taihang, passes through my Taiyuan, and turns to my Xianyang. It can also directly enter our east from Liaodong. In Mengzhou, although there is no direct railway there, the road is well developed and the distance is relatively short, so I don’t think it’s a big problem.” The Minister of Transport said.

"The main problem is the Qi State. Qi State does not have a decent road or a railway. The transportation cost is naturally high. In addition, Qi State's national power is extremely consumed. Now the Qi King's situation is unclear. I am afraid that the power will fall into the hands of others. It's hard to solve, Prime Minister." The Minister of Transport analyzed it.

"That's right, even if we want to build roads, I'm afraid we can't find anyone to discuss with. Besides, everyone knows what the situation in Qi is." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"So, please come and discuss a countermeasure. Once the commercial road in the north is opened, the only way to go is to build the road, especially the railway. Once the railway is opened, many problems can be solved. This railway must be repaired." Meng Yi made up his mind. Speaking of.

1623 try it out

"This railway must be repaired." The Minister of Economy said.

"Building a railway is not a technical problem. We have a lot of engineers and funds. We can use Qin's banking power, and there are so many companies that can also participate. I don't think it is a problem, a problem. The most important thing is, who owns the rights and interests of the railway after we finish the railway, this is the crux of the problem, otherwise, once we finish the railway, we will give someone else a wedding dress." The Minister of Economic Affairs said.

"We don't care where to rent some merchant ships. However, these goods cannot stay in the coastal areas. These goods must be circulated to our Qin State, because our Qin State has a great demand. And the circulation requires railways. On land, only the railway can meet so many transportation needs. And the railway technology is only mastered by our Qin State." The Minister of Economic Affairs said.The ministers nodded one after another, and they recognized this.

"But this time the railway is being built on the territory of another country. Qin can't go all the way through it now, nor can it take some drastic methods to suppress the other side." The Minister of Economic Affairs said.

"Therefore, the issue of rights and interests is quite tricky and difficult to solve." The Minister of Economy pointed out the key point at once.Railroads are easy to repair.Moreover, the railway was built in the Central Plains, leading to the coast. From a technical point of view, this railway is much easier to repair than the Bashu Railway, because the land of Bashu has to go through the Qinling Mountains, and the project is very difficult. And this railway, through There are not many areas with mountains, and in order to reduce the difficulty of the project, it is completely free to go, but the place where the railway is built does not belong to Qin.This is the biggest problem.

Qin cannot use military means to protect its own railway interests, but can only do so through negotiations.Meng Yi was already prepared for this.

"En. The biggest problem is Qi State. Qi State does not have a railway or a road. Besides, Qi State has no one to talk to, and the king of Qi, I am afraid that the king of Qi will not be able to decide. And how to talk to Qi State. If the railway If it is built to Qi State, this railway will belong to Qi State. This will not benefit us Qin State." Meng Yi said.

"En. I think we can support another force. The current newspaper opinion seems to be unfriendly to King Qi. We can reduce the influence of King Qi. Take this opportunity to raise another force of Qi State, and then use this force Forces, come to help us achieve this goal." A retired colonel security consultant said.The medal on his chest for participating in the Yuezhi War made him qualified to make such an opinion.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.

"I've thought about this too. It's just that if it's not done well, it's not good for Qin. And how? Who should we choose," Meng Yi asked.

"Tian Dan, the Tian brothers." The consultant continued.

"Tian Dan is in Qin State, and our Qin State also sent people to check the situation in Qi State. In addition, Tian Heng controls a large army on the eastern front. In contrast, King Qi has lost control of the army. He can only Rely on the Chu army. Moreover, Tian Heng has a sharp conflict with the nobles of Qi State. Tian Heng once distributed a large amount of land to the people of Qi State who lost their land. Tian Heng has a lot of support in Qi State. These points are good. " said the security consultant.

"That's right, Prime Minister, now Qi is tense everywhere, and all kinds of materials are in short supply. The most important thing is money, funds, they need a lot of money, if we can provide a loan, or invest part of the funds If new enterprises are established in the local area, I think they will definitely agree. You must know that these enterprises can bring a lot of taxes. This point, they will not be unaware of this point. With taxes, there will be a country composed of one of the important factors.

"Well, I'm afraid these are not enough. If we can't impress Qi State, Qi State's railway construction problems will continue to arise. We don't know what Qi State's attitude is, but what you said is all right. " Meng Yi said after summarizing.

"So, I think it's best to send someone to contact Tian Dan in private to find out about the other party's situation before taking further action." Meng Yi said.

"En. The prime minister is right. I also think that we can also send someone to find out the situation of Tian Heng in Qi State. After all, it is Tian Heng who holds the military power." The Minister of Finance put forward his own opinion.

"En. Yes." Meng Yi nodded in agreement.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

"This Palace of the King of Han is not only to be transformed into a simple school, but something else should be built in such a large place." Han Shu said to the newly appointed Minister of Education.The Education Minister is a newly formed cabinet department.Originally, matters such as opening a school were under the direct jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office, and the Prime Minister's Office directly handed over this department to the Statistics Department in the cabinet.But after a while of management, I found it difficult to manage, because the population statistics are only a count of the number of people of school age in South Korea, and it is difficult for the Ministry of Finance to directly allocate funds.Therefore, the jurisdiction of education was assigned to the Ministry of Finance, but the Ministry of Finance spends too much money.All of a sudden, the cost of education has been reduced. As a result, there are still some school-age people in South Korea who do not go to school.After Han Shu knew about this, he set up a special department to manage this matter.

"This." The new Minister of Education is a young man who returned from studying in Qin State. Obviously, he also lacks experience in management. However, he can imitate Qin State's practice and study in Qin State, and he will naturally come into contact with this aspect. There are many things.

"We can build some museums. Reading halls and the like." Han Shu said after looking at the other party.

"The state of Qin built museums, and there are many reading halls. I heard that there are as many as two reading halls in a university in the state of Qin. In comparison, our South Korea is much inferior. Such buildings should be repaired more , the collection of books inside should be as many as possible." Han Shu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Minister of Education nodded and said.

"My minister believes that this palace should be expanded into a university. After all, it is these universities that can provide continuous talents, not those basic education. The palace occupies such a vast area." The Minister of Education said.

"You're right, and you're not right," Han Shu said.

"What Qin has more is not universities, but more basic education. Do you know how many people these basic education have provided for universities," Han Shu asked.

"This education, the widow understands it. There is no rush." ​​Han Shu said.

1624 increase income

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Minister of Education bowed respectfully.

Han Shu came to check the progress of Korean education.Although most of the school-age people in South Korea have entered the school.But there are still some things that cannot satisfy Han Shu.For example, the content of this teaching.

Some schools just teach these literacy words.Such an approach made Han Shu very dissatisfied.In addition to these.There are also some people who teach very badly.Just teaching something that is not commonly used.Some Confucian scholars only handed over some Confucian classics.Nothing else is called.more than this.Teach students how to divination good and bad luck.Coursework can be described as varied.what students learn.Often something unrealistic.These things cause some students to be tired of learning.they think.Learning in school is not as good as playing outside.These things disappointed Han Shu.

Basic education in South Korea is just getting started.Many questions are the first time.for example.The department to oversee education has only just been established.The scope of jurisdiction is also not clearly stated.the most important is.This time it is civilian education.How to educate civilians has become a difficult problem.There's never been anything like this before.Education is only for noble children.Common people can enter the school.It was unprecedented.
