"So, the key this time is that we must have the same strategy as the Qin people. At the very least, we must have the same strategy that can attract the Qin people, so that our alliance can be signed." Zhang Liang said.

"Forehead".The staff couldn't react and looked at Zhang Liang, because he didn't understand a lot of what Zhang Liang said.

"At present, Qin State still wants to expand, but its military strength can no longer satisfy its current expansion territory. Qin State needs to be consolidated. There is another important issue, which is finance. The finances of the people of Qin State are shrinking. Judging from newspaper news , Qin State is reducing military expenditure, this is enough to prove my judgment." Zhang Liang said alone.He walked back and forth talking.

"How can we get Qin to sign a covenant with us? We have to make the people of Qin feel some hostility, especially, establish a powerful enemy so that the people of Qin feel the crisis." Zhang Liang said incredulously as he walked back and forth.

"This." The staff looked at Zhang Liang worriedly.But Zhang Liang was talking back and forth by himself.

"I think the root of the problem lies here," Zhang Liang said.

"We must create an enemy for the people of Qin. Who is this enemy? Is there any reason for Qin to be afraid." Zhang Liang continued to say.

"This." The staff member faltered, because his thinking could no longer keep up with Zhang Liang's thoughts.

"En. Yes. Chu State, and Zhao State. These are the conditions for forming an alliance." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

The staff just looked at Zhang Liang blankly.

"Okay. It's getting late. It's time for us to rest." He looked at the staff.Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"Yes, my lord." The staff member nodded.

In Meng Yi's office, it was very cold.All the people present couldn't think of such an idea at all.In other words, it is difficult for many people to look at current issues from a strategic perspective. They are all ministers, and they are in a specific branch.On the contrary, they don't think much about strategic matters, so they can't raise the strategic level to a new level, and at such a level, they can't conduct specific discussions in the cabinet.Therefore, such a scene is very cold.

Fan Zeng can consider it strategically, but also from specific methods.This is the advantage of the conspirators.

"En. Let's end the meeting. Just look at South Korea's actions tomorrow." Meng Yi looked at the various ministers who were in the cold and said.

"Maybe we still need some time. Things like this. Don't rush." ​​Meng Yi said.

the next day.Meng Yi and Zhang Liang had a secret meeting.They chatted in a private villa in the suburbs.Because neither side intended to make the meeting public, they imposed a blackout on journalists from both countries.Such measures are beneficial to the strategic cooperation between the two countries.

"The weather here is very good." Zhang Liang said to Meng Yi.

"En. It's really good. Otherwise, the villa area would not be established here." Meng Yi said.

"En." Zhang Liang nodded.

"The houses here are well built. They are very big. They are spacious. They use reinforced concrete structures. They are extremely stable," Zhang Liang said.

"The decoration is also good. And the table we are currently using is from Korea. The wooden table made in Korea is strong and durable. It is handmade. It is expensive." Meng Yi said.

"This fully demonstrates. There are many commodities produced in our current society, and they can meet all our needs." Zhang Liang said.

"En. Alright. Let's stop this topic. Let's talk about our mutual purpose. Although it is more straightforward, it can solve the problem." Meng Yi said.

"En. The purpose is very simple, to form an alliance with us. In other words, we really want to form an alliance with Qin." Zhang Liang said.

"Oh." Meng Yi was not surprised at all.

"Is there any benefit in forming an alliance?" Meng Yi said.

"To be honest, when I was in South Korea, I also thought about this issue, but we didn't consider it thoroughly, or we didn't see the long-term enough. I always feel that there doesn't seem to be much need for the two countries to form an alliance." Meng Yi Said waving his arms.Meng Yi seemed to explain something.

"Yes. It is very necessary." Zhang Liang said.

"Oh. Tell me about it." Meng Yi said.

"The first point is that Qin has too many enemies, and the strength of potential enemies is rising too fast." Zhang Liang said.

Meng Yi frowned when he heard this.He leaned on his back successively.Because Meng Yi couldn't figure out what kind of enemy Zhang Liang was talking about.

"Can you be more specific?" Meng Yi asked worriedly.

"En. Yes." Zhang Liang originally wanted to say the second point, but Meng Yi actually spoke at this time.As soon as Meng Yi opened his mouth, Zhang Liang knew that the other party had developed a strong interest in his topic.Since you're interested, that's right.

"Do you know the Yangtze River in the south?" Zhang Liang did not directly mention the enemy of that country at this time.Instead, it went directly to another topic.

"Yes. I know." Meng Yi nodded.

"The Yangtze River leads to the sea." Zhang Liang continued.Since it is necessary to attract Qin's attention and interest, it is necessary to propose some long-term places for the people of Qin to see.

"I understand this, but I don't know what the prime minister's intention is," Meng Yi said while looking at Zhang Liang.

"That's what I want to say." Zhang Liang stood up and said.Then he motioned for his subordinates to take out a map.

"The land of Bashu in the Qin State is being developed and requires a lot of labor. Special slaves. It is already difficult to obtain slaves in the north and slaves in the Western Regions." Zhang Liang said.

Because of the limitation of geographical environment factors.None of the above areas can provide huge population resources.Moreover, it is becoming more and more difficult to obtain slaves. In this case, Qin's slave trade gradually shifted to the south.

Slaves in the South were also more difficult to obtain because most of them were in the mountains.Combat in mountainous areas is extremely complicated.But the slaves along the coastline are relatively easy to obtain, especially the Chu people who use boats. They can extend the distance and gather more slaves by taking advantage of a certain distance.Such is the state of the slave trade at present.

Meng Yi just looked at Zhang Liang, he didn't understand what the other party wanted to say.

"Let's be straightforward." Zhang Liang looked very calm.

"Chu people got a lot from the slave trade. Their business is very big. Qin's slave trade is 60.00%, most of which come from Chu people. Now the southern Chu State has laid a large amount of taxation on the Yangtze River. Ships earn about tens of thousands of gold every day. I feel very optimistic about this income," Zhang Liang said.Speaking of this, Meng Yi owed his body.He felt a little uneasy.

"The Chu people have gained quite a lot of benefits from this trade. If their interests are not checked and balanced, it is estimated that their interests will continue to grow at a very fast speed." Zhang Liang said worriedly.

"En." Meng Yi was quickly searching for information about Chu State at this time.The people of Chu State sold all kinds of agricultural products and slaves to Qin State.And they exchanged a large number of industrial products and arms.Among them, South Korea's light industrial products are the main products, and of course there is also a large amount of gold.Meng Yi didn't know what the other party wanted to do and what his intention was.But from the current point of view, Chu State can obtain more benefits from Qin State's trade, which is a fact that has already happened and has to be admitted.

"Chu people can have a lot of money to update their weapons. Their army is generally equipped with a lot of new weapons and more artillery. It is said that the main targets of Qin's cannons are Chu people. If If Chu State is equipped with cannons everywhere, I am afraid that Qin State will be powerless to launch a strong offensive." Zhang Liang said.

Meng Yi didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Liang.

"Chu's national power is gradually becoming stronger relying on Qin's trade. Huge trade brings huge wealth. Chu is becoming stronger, this is a fact." Zhang Liang said.

"There is also the country of Zhao in the north." Zhang Liang said.

"The State of Zhao has huge coal resources. This is reported by your mineral experts. The coal resources discovered by the State of Qin are far less than those of the State of Zhao. The amount of coal and iron resources owned by the State of Zhao far exceeds that of the State of Qin country." Zhang Liang said.

"These two kinds of resources are enough for Zhao to develop. Because Qin needs more resources. And other countries are not interested in these resources at all." Zhang Liang said.

"I don't know. Mr. Prime Minister. What do you want to explain by saying this?" Meng Yi looked at Zhang Liang and said.

"What I want to explain is that Qin State has potential enemies. These enemies are developing. And it is not good for Qin State." Zhang Liang said.

"So, can we avoid such a situation by forming an alliance with you?" Meng Yi said.

"Yes." Zhang Liang nodded.

"Then, there is another situation. South Korea may also be our potential enemy." Meng Yi looked at Zhang Liang and said.

"En. This is possible. But at present, South Korea and Qin have many prerequisites for mutual cooperation. South Korea needs to further develop the market, and Qin also needs to develop the market." Zhang Liang said.
