"The Huns are afraid of us," said the lieutenant.

"No, we'd better be careful and report the situation here. It's the best thing to increase reinforcements. It's best to have artillery support. This time, we used machine guns as artillery." The second lieutenant said worriedly.

"Sir. Sir." At this moment, a second-class soldier ran over excitedly.

"What's the matter?" asked the lieutenant.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived. It's still an artillery company." The second-class soldier said excitedly.

"Haha." Hearing the news.The lieutenant laughed.

"Whatever you are really looking forward to, come here." The second lieutenant said happily.

Zhao State Handan.The son Jiafu Zhen.

"My lord, did you submit the report submitted by Qin's military officer corps?" A formally dressed business representative of Qin State asked.Next to him stood an assistant who was also dressed formally.

"How can it be impossible to use war to deal with those rioters? They are traitors of Zhao State. They are of no use to Zhao State at all." Young Master Jia shouted loudly.

"My lord, this is a fact. We have gone through various deduction, and the conclusion is very realistic in front of you. At present, what the Zhao State wants is stability, otherwise, the situation will become more and more out of control." The representative of Qin State said arrive.

"What do you mean?" Young Master Jia could still listen to the words of the representative of Qin State. After all, the people of Qin State helped him get a lot of money, and Young Master Jia still had a good impression of him.

"The situation in Zhao State continues to be in turmoil. I'm afraid it's not good for Zhao State, and it's not good for Qin State. At that time, I'm afraid whether Zhao State can survive will become a troublesome issue." The representative of Qin State expressed this concern.

"So, let's say, son, you can come forward to solve this matter, because your relationship with Qin State is already very close. We do this to let Zhao State continue to exist. Because our interests are extremely close." Qin State said the representative.

One of Qin's reports pointed out that for these internal riots in Zhao, appeasement measures should be taken instead of military forces to deal with them.The main body of the noble army is the rioting miners, but among the miners there are some soldiers with strong combat capabilities. They are rich in combat experience, and they are tenacious in combat. They are far behind the opponent in terms of fighting spirit. Although the noble army has the advantage in weapons, the advantage in weapons can no longer make up for this defect.In addition to these.Another even bigger disadvantage is that the miners have a geographical advantage. This advantage does not lie in how long they can hold on to the favorable terrain, but in the coal resources they can control. This is enough for the miners to have a large However, the nobles lost control of the mining area, and it was precisely because of the loss of control of the mining area that the nobles were in a passive situation.

The nobles are eager to fight for the control of these mining areas, but facing their own limited military strength, they cannot take them down. If the nobles want to take them down, they will have to pay a heavy price, and it will take time, a lot of time to strengthen the noble army The fighting power of the country is a little bit, and the nobles can't afford it at all, because the longer the time drags on, the more variable the country of Zhao will be, and the high taxes in the country of Zhao make the people's hearts extremely unstable. The situation will be completely in chaos.And this point is Qin Guoxiao.Because Qin State needs a stable source of coal supply, as well as a reliable consumer market.Both of these requirements required that the country of Zhao must be stabilized.A stable situation can further increase coal production.Qin State obtained high-quality coal.The consumer market is based on Zhao's domestic consumption power, and the aristocrats must be required to reduce taxes.

"What do you mean?" Young Master Jia said after thinking about it.

"What we mean is to let you, my son, compete to be the prime minister of the country" to get the position of prime minister through the way of governance. The representative of Qin State said.

"This, no way. My father will not agree." Young Master Jia said.

"That's not right. I can't do it either. Besides, if I become prime minister, these nobles will offend a little bit. I can't do it." Young Master Jia immediately retorted.

"My son can also choose another person to run for election. You may not know that if you participate in the snow competition, you can get more rights. For example, in this mining area, we can get a lot of labor through appeasement measures♀ Some rioting miners are labor ‖At the same time, it can also solve Zhao's dilemma, not only that, but Zhao can also participate in more enterprise construction and seek greater benefits, and the interests of the nobles can be balanced." The representative of Qin said.

"This." Young Master Jia is still hesitant, after all, the interests of Zhao's nobles cannot be touched.

"My lord, you can use taxation or other means to make up for the interests of the nobles. If you don't do this, I'm afraid Zhao Guo will lose, and our Qin State's investment in Zhao State will also fall into a passive situation. This will be of no benefit to both of us. Picture." The Qin representative said anxiously.

"This." Young Master Jia was still a little hesitant, but the current situation in Zhao Guo seemed to have reached this point.It’s just that Young Master Jia is unwilling to come forward like this. If this is not the case, the interests of the nobles will be offended. This is an important thing that Young Master Jia dare not do boldly. Certainly, the plight of the country is because the interests of the nobles cannot be violated. The situation is difficult to solve. There is no money to levy.But the nobles can't pay taxes, but most of the resources are in the hands of the nobles. Of course, the power of the nobles is so powerful that Prince Jia has no confidence to deal with it.

The existence of Zhao's nobles made Zhao's reform difficult. Guo Kai lacked enough courage to reform. Guo Kai didn't have the courage to attack the nobles. If he did, the nobles would probably kill him immediately.Therefore, Guo Kai could only attack Zhao Min, high taxes, coupled with an uncompromising attitude, instantly intensified the conflict between Zhao Min and the nobles to an unprecedented level.

Zhao Min hates Guo Kai, but hates the nobles of Zhao State, because the nobles of Zhao State do not have to pay taxes, but they pay enough taxes, and these taxes are enough to make them feel difficult to maintain, this feels very unfair to Zhao Min ♀This kind of unfair treatment caused Zhao people to have a lot of resistance, and they felt resentful. Since then, the nobles and commoners have formed a lot of antagonism, which permeates the entire Zhao country.

But no one in Zhao State can solve this matter, which leads to the continuous deterioration of this matter, and sooner or later there will be incidents as time goes by.And Guo Kai is doing nothing to maintain this situation.Whoever dares to interfere with the interests of the nobles is confronting King Zhao. The nobles are not brave enough to do this.

"I think there is one person who can come and frighten me." Young Master Jia said after thinking for a while.Prince Jia is also afraid of such things. The interests of the nobles cannot be moved, which is the foundation of Zhao Guo.Moreover, it is not easy to do it directly.Whoever moves will die, but Young Master Jia also knows that it is impossible to move at this time.Because the interests of the aristocrats could not be guaranteed.

"I don't know who the young master mentioned?" The representative of Qin State asked.

"Li Mu, General Li." Young Master Jia said.

"General Li has a high prestige. Moreover, the army has a lot of support. It shouldn't be a problem to appease those miners who rioted. After all, there are many people in the army who are willing to obey him." Gong Zijia said.

"Besides, General Li is not a member of the ministers, so he has less scruples." Gongzi Jia said that if he is a member of the civil servants of Zhao Guo, he should be scruples about the civil servants. After all, many of the civil servants tend to protect the interests of the nobles. .It can be said that the interests of the civil servants and the nobles have been tied together ♀ that is why the civil servants of Zhao State dare not continue to reform, and Li Mu is not one of the civil servants ♀ Nobles can't control the situation.

"Li Mu has great prestige in the army, General Li Mu is the most suitable candidate." Young Master Jia said.

"En." The representative of Qin State nodded.Li Mu's prestige is indeed very high.Moreover, in the military, people who come out of a unique system will not be caught in various situations. Naturally, an outsider can easily control the situation.for this.The representative of Qin State recognized it.

"So, very good." Representative Qin also thought this was very good.

Qi coastal areas.

"Hurry up, load these goods on the truck." Tian Heng stood on a plate and ordered loudly.

Some Qi people loaded the goods piled up in the village onto wheelbarrows.Naofumi studied this unique vehicle carefully.Because there are fewer and fewer bullock carts.Especially now in the busy spring season.The use of cattle is more tense.But the transportation of goods has to go on ≮ Yes, this kind of wheelbarrow has a great use.

A unicycle is far more powerful than a human shoulder.Moreover, the off-road performance of this unicycle is very good.The road adaptability is very strong. The roads in Qi State have basically been damaged a lot, and the roads are also very difficult. Such unicycles are very suitable for the road conditions in Qi State, because they can easily cross over.

However, the load capacity of this kind of unicycle is relatively small, but compared to the current situation in Qi State, it is already a very good thing.The appearance of the unicycle just in time meets this demand.The roads in Qi State are in poor condition, and there are no big animals such as cattle to act as power.And commodity trade requires such vehicles.The appearance of the unicycle obviously meets the needs at this time.

Tian Heng felt a lot after receiving Shang Wen's speech, and he immediately reached an agreement with those merchant captains.Tian Heng used Qi's eastern army as collateral.And promised to reduce or exempt taxes, get the goods from these merchants, and then send these goods to South Korea by wheelbarrow, and then transport them to Qin through South Korea. After transporting to South Korea, they will complete their task. There are people who collect some goods. In this way, they can get money and hand over part of the money as expenses, and return the money to the merchants. In this way, Qi State can make a lot of profits from it. , and Qi State can also improve the current unfavorable situation.

Although the merchants of these Korean merchant ships once felt a sense of pride, they had no choice but to take a gamble when they promised to reduce or exempt taxes.Tian Heng will give a certain degree of tax relief according to the length of the payment. If the payment is received within one year, Tian Heng will give a comprehensive tax treatment. If it is within a few months, it will be reduced by half to one tenth. Unequal taxes, this amount is already quite large ∴ compared with the excessive collection of nobles who go abroad.And Qi State can reduce these taxes to the maximum extent, and many Korean merchant ships still agree to do so.After all, there are not many such opportunities.

So Qi Guo started this empty-handed business.Qi Guo had no choice but to do so.But it does have great benefits for all countries.But in Yan Country, things did not develop so well.

Liaodong in Yan State.A merchant ship going abroad gradually approached the coast.

"Their boat is really big." The Yan State fisherman approached and said.

"Don't dare to get closer. If you get closer, you will run aground. Drop the anchor. Quickly drop the anchor." The ship loudly lowered the last anchor into the sea.There are still many such ships waiting to dock at sea.

"They are from the state of Chu, you, a man who read Nirvana, said.

"That's right, what are they Chu people doing here?" Another person commented.At this time, the merchant ship lowered the boat, and many people got on and off the boat, and then they continued to dock.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Just as the people from Chu State arrived in Yan State, several officials came out from the crowd.Some of them were also holding muskets.

"Who are you?" A small official shouted loudly, the boat hadn't landed yet.

"Oh, we are merchants from the state of Chu. We are here to do business." A person on the boat replied.

"Business, okay. The money is here." The little official said happily, and then he kept coming up with the boat.

"Bring it." The little official of the Yan Kingdom stretched out his hand and shouted.When the people around saw this, they began to worry about these Chu businessmen.

"What," a Chu sailor asked.

"Don't you guys understand what it means to pay taxes?" the petty official shouted loudly.Several subordinates around nodded, approving the matter.

"This. We are just newcomers, and we haven't made any money yet." A businessman standing on the boat clasped his hands and said.

"We don't care about these. As long as you come here to do business, you have to pay taxes. This is what the above means. Only when you pay enough taxes can you do business well. As for how much you earn, we don't care." started talking.

"This." The businessman was in a dilemma.
