"It will be very difficult to build this railway. The Qin State will not be able to spend a penny." Meng Yi stood up and said.

"If we stop funding for the construction of the Bashu Railway, it will cause big problems," Meng Yi said.

"Prime Minister, the Ba-Shu Railway cannot be stopped. The Ba-Shu Railway has entered the most critical moment. If it takes another year, I am afraid it will be open to traffic. If it is opened to traffic, Qin will control Ba-Shu. If the Ba-Shu Railway is abandoned at this time. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate, if we give up at this time, the Bashu Railway will be in vain,” said the Minister of Finance.

"But. Where did the money come from," Meng Yi asked worriedly.

"Here. I think we can issue another bond," said the finance minister.

"No. The current financial situation is not very good. If the income is not very good, then the foreign debts will be raised at this time. I am afraid that Qin's financial situation will worsen in the future." Meng Yi said with some concerns.

"Issuing bonds is not acceptable," Meng Yi said.

"Prime Minister, in my opinion, we should refer to the Northwest Railway." The Minister of Economy said.

"What do you mean," said the Minister of Economy.

"When the Qin State built the Northwest Railway, it used a business model. The minerals along the railway line are owned by the railway company. Such property rights are very large. Moreover, if the Central Plains Railway is built, the income will be unprecedentedly large. I think, these People should be prioritized," the economy minister said.

"I have thought about this." Meng Yi said.

"But this time it's different. Before, the Northwest obtained by the Qin State was not the area of ​​the Qin State. In order to stabilize these areas and speed up the stability of these areas, the Qin State distributed these non-property lands wantonly." Meng Yi said.

"But it's different now. This is Wei Guo, Qi Guo. Or Yan Guo, we have the right to distribute these lands, so what is the attitude of these countries," Meng Yi said.

"But if these countries follow our practice of the Northwest Railway, then the rights and interests of these railways will be taken back by those countries. This is not good for us. However, fortunately, there is time for these countries. We can mediate from them and maximize Qin's interests. Transformation." Meng Yi said after thinking for a while.

"Yes. The Prime Minister is right," said the Minister of Economy.

"It's really not easy this time," said the Minister of Economy.

"The construction of the railway spans too many countries. This is too many tests for us. It is too difficult to operate." The Minister of Economy said.

"The minister is right." Meng Yi said.

"It's because it's difficult. This is the only thing to do. Everyone can go back and think about it." Meng Yi said.

"This matter must be reported to King Qin." Meng Yi said.

On the railway leading to Guanzhong, King Qin and Meng Tian are heading towards Guanzhong.

"My lord, this is the telegram I received when I just arrived at the station." Meng Tian handed a telegram to the king.

"En. Please take a look." Qin Wang took the telegram and looked at it.

After reading it, Qin Wang thought for a moment and looked at Meng Tian.

"There's news from South Korea," King Qin said.

"The shipping route will move north, to the state of Qi." King Qin said.

"En." Meng Tian didn't realize the impact of moving north to Qi.

"After the shipping route moves to the north, the number of merchant ships will decrease, and the Chu State will inevitably reduce its tax revenue, which is not good for the Chu State. When the sea transport reaches the Qi State and the Yan State, the taxation of these countries will become richer, and then they will develop rapidly. If the goods stay in Qi State and Yan State, they need to be transported to Qin State by railway. Because Qin State is now the economic center area, these things can only reflect their economic value when they are transported to Qin State.” King Qin analyzed.

"But both countries need to build a railway to connect with Qin State in Guanzhong, and Yan State is okay. Their Yan can directly connect with Handan, and then pass through Taiyuan to Qin State Xianyang. The most important road is Qi State. Qi State does not have a railway, and there is no road to drive. It can be said that the construction of this railway is of great significance, but no country has the ability to build such a railway. There are too many involved in this." King Qin said.

"En." After hearing this, Meng Tian realized how complicated the economic problem is, and he needs to refer to the situation of each country to formulate his own plan.And there are so many interests involved.If Qin State does not do well, it may create an unfavorable situation.Meng Tian thinks this matter is very difficult.The railway was difficult to build.

1613 Retreat

"These heads are," said the infantry lieutenant, looking at the three men in the forward command post.Of these three people, two were from the tribe. They were dressed sloppily and had loose hair, typical of the nomadic tribes in the north. The two of them took some heads and threw them into the Qin Army's frontline headquarters.The other is from the Central Plains, and this Central Plains man is not the previous Central Plains people.is another one.He has a slender mustache.Dressed like a scholar.

"It belongs to the Huns." The Central Plains man said.

"Who are you," the infantry lieutenant asked the Central Plains man.

"I'm a strategist in that caravan. Make a little money." The Central Plains man said.

"Oh. What's your name, that countryman," the infantry lieutenant asked in detail.

"My name is Li Shen. I am from Chu State." The Chu State man named Li Shen said.

"What is your purpose here," asked the infantry lieutenant.

"The purpose of our coming here is to bring these northern nomadic tribes to join you. Do bigger business. These tribes have fallen out with the Huns now. We need your help from Qin." Li Shen said.

The infantry lieutenant said nothing.Because it is impossible to explain the current situation.Qin Jun is currently unable to control all the situation.The infantry lieutenant could only order his men to stand firm and wait for reinforcements to arrive.And the above did not clearly tell them what to do.

"These Huns are the troops of King Zuo Xian of the Huns. We have already killed them. There are still some heads hanging outside the tribal camp. We have completely fallen out with the Huns. I hope that the people of Qin will let us enter. These tribes People and horses are of great benefit to Qin, and have no disadvantages," Li Shen said.

But the infantry lieutenant just swayed.

"We had no orders from our superiors. They just told us to hold our ground," said the infantry lieutenant.

"But now we are in a very dangerous situation." Li Shen shouted loudly.

"It's not our concern, and there's nothing we can do about it, we can only follow orders. Without orders, we can't do anything," explained the infantry lieutenant.

"We have already killed these Huns, and the Huns will immediately retaliate against us. In a short time, they will bloodbath the entire tribe. At that time, the entire tribe will die. Are you Qin people going to look at us all? Are you going to die?" Li Shen asked loudly.

The infantry lieutenant made no reply.Just looking at Li Shen.

"In the current situation, you Qin people are in the most favorable position. As long as these tribes survive, they can quickly sweep the entire grassland and completely defeat the Huns. Qin can save an army, so you don't need to worry about it." Li Shen said loudly. Said.

"We didn't have an order. Really, we didn't have an order for you to come over. We'd probably have shot you if you had come straight up," said the infantry lieutenant.

"I want to see your highest official," Li Shen said directly.

"I am the supreme officer here," said the infantry lieutenant.

"Can I send a telegram to your top officer," Li Shen said.

"This. You can write down the content, and I will report it to our highest officer depending on the situation. This is all I can do." The infantry lieutenant said.

"Thank you then." Li Shen cupped his hands and said.Immediately Li Shen sat down and began to draw up the telegram.The lieutenant could only watch from the sidelines.Two members of the northern nomadic tribe looked around.

Southern Qi.

"Sir, our people can't stand it anymore." A middle-aged man from Qi State in civilian clothes ran up and shouted loudly.

"Let them retreat quickly. To the sea, hurry up." Ying Yu shouted.

"Come here." Ying Yu immediately called out to a messenger.

"Sir." A thin, sixteen or seventeen-year-old man from Qi State stood in front of Ying Yu. He had no weapons and his hands were empty.

"Quick. Tell Sanlian. Tell them to hold their positions for an hour, and they can retreat when it gets dark." Ying Yu shouted to the messenger.
