"Oh. What news?" Xiang Bo asked at this time.

"Tell me." Xiang Bo said at this time.

"We heard such a news that a group of pirates attacked a tax collection ship of the nobles of the Chu State. The ship they attacked had a lot of taxes on it. There were a lot of such taxes, which was enough for us to obtain Quite a lot of taxes." Said the general of the Chu State Navy.

"Oh." Xiang Bo nodded.He thought it audacious for pirates to attack the taxing ships of the noble navy, much more than he had expected.

"Tell me." Uncle Xiang couldn't figure out some problems, so he asked them to explain.

"The tax collection ships of the noble navy are all wandering outside alone. They intercept the river sideways and do not enter the water fortress to hide in a short time. The reason is that they are afraid of the passing merchant ships sneaking through the night, and they At night, the merchant ships that are found often impose higher taxes, and the oil and water are also the largest. So many of them participated in it, but they all did it alone. So, their ships formed with a lot of taxes, It's like, at night, they brought a huge amount of gold and silver treasures for us to snatch." The general of the Chu State Navy continued.

"En. What do you mean?" Xiang Bo suddenly realized that his subordinates had some very strange ideas at this time, and such strange ideas were very useful.So he asked.

"The idea of ​​the last general is that we can pretend to be pirates and attack the armed taxation ships of the nobles. Not only can we get taxes, but most importantly, we can also snatch their warships." The general of the navy proposed at this time an opinion of my own.

"Yes." Uncle Xiang nodded at this time.He also thinks that the other party's idea is feasible. Think about it, Chu's navy can launch an attack on tax-collecting ships in the name of pirates. Such an idea is not something ordinary people can have.Moreover, in the name of pirates, it is possible to illegally rob the taxes of those noble navy troops. The navy is of great help. Thinking of this, Xiang Bo thinks that the other party's idea is very good and feasible.

"General, this is the only way to do it now." The general continued.

"Our army has insufficient funds and has been in a state of high shortage. This state is very unfavorable to us, and we pretend to be pirates and attack each other's ships. First, we can increase our military expenditure and we can get more large merchant ships. .In addition, we can use the name of pirates to attack noble taxation ships and increase the opponent's losses. In this way, we can gain money and expand our army to prepare for war. This is a great benefit." The general continued.

"En. You are right, just do it this way." Xiang Bo said worriedly.

"Once they find out, we will be very passive." Xiang Bo said worriedly.What Xiang Bo considered was that if his ship was captured by the other party and the other party knew that the navy was involved in this way, then the navy would offend the entire nobles.At that time, the nobles will not be able to spare themselves.Such a situation is very likely to happen.Not only to see the good side, but also to see the bad side.The naval army can certainly gain benefits, but if it is discovered by the other party, all the nobles will blame it, and it may develop into a disadvantage to the Xiang family. This is what Xiang Bo is worried about.

"This." The general was silent at this time.

"In this case, it will be very unfavorable to our army." Xiang Bo said.

"Things like this need to be cautious, cautious." Xiang Bo continued.

"General. The last general thinks that soldiers can participate as pirates, and let them get more than half of the tax as a reward to them. In this way, they will not leak our information. At the same time, they will be more Like pirates, we can help them when necessary, and this will be of great help to us." The general said.

"Oh. One light, one dark." Xiang Bo repeated.

"Qin State can help us issue more bonds, but in terms of trade, I don't think it is very meaningful for Qin State to help us." Han Shu said to Meng Yi in private.

"Oh. What's the queen's opinion?" Meng Yi asked respectfully.

"Qin's products are of course very good, and each country has its own special products. It seems that trade is very important. But what I want to say is that both sides must participate in trade. If Qin's side blindly seeks huge profits, then , in that case, it will be difficult to do business successfully." Han Shu said.

"I don't understand, what does the Queen mean?" Meng Yi looked at Han Shu and said.

"Isn't the meaning obvious enough?" Han Shu continued.

"Qin people can't make money in all trades. They also have to take into account the interests of all countries." Han Shu said bluntly.

"En." Meng Yi was speechless.He didn't know what to say.

"It is impossible for Qin to take advantage of all the favorable conditions. For example, in terms of the geographical location of trade, South Korea's position is much superior to ours. Only South Korea can have such an advantage." Qin State Traffic on the side The minister said very calmly.

"From this point of view, it is obvious that Qin cannot have various trade advantages. Moreover, countries also have their own needs, such as food." The Minister of Transport said at this time.

"The state of Qin has a large number of farms. These farms produce a lot of grain. These grains are piled up like mountains. If the state of Qin eats the grain, it is estimated that it will not be able to eat it all in a lifetime. There is not enough food to keep their people alive," the transport minister continued.

"So, at this time, the Qin State proposed trade conditions. It is beneficial to all countries. At the very least, selling the cheap grain in Qin State to other countries can prevent the people of all countries from starving." The Minister of Transportation praised Said.He thought it was very reasonable for Qin to do so.In fact, this is true. Both the Zhao State and the Yan State are importing a large amount of grain from the Qin State, and the Qin State has a lot of grain and can brew a lot of wine.These wines were exported to Chu State in the south, and Chu State took these wines and sold them wantonly to the native Yue people.This is the grain export of Qin State.Qin's grain has become a necessary import product for all countries, because at present, South Korea's own grain production can only meet self-sufficiency.Exports are far from enough.

"This is the reality. The reality is that the six countries all have varying degrees of food demand, not only Zhao, Yan, but also South Korea itself. If the food in South Korea is not because of tariffs, I am afraid it will also be affected." Minister of Transport Said.

"Qin's grain price has too much advantage. Such an advantage can directly cause the people of the six countries to give up growing grain, and then switch to importing from Qin's country for a lower price. There is a huge demand for grain." The Minister of Transport said.

"I think this is trade. The root of trade is that the excess grain produced by Qin State meets the needs of all countries. This is fair and demand arises." The Minister of Transport continued.

"Of course. South Korea also has its own advantages, such as geographical advantages, which Qin State is very envious of." The Minister of Transportation said.

"As long as Koreans build railways to other countries, it will be difficult to do business in other countries. The first stop for Qin's grain to arrive is South Korea, and then directly sent to other countries through South Korea." The Minister of Transportation said.

"From this point of view, I think that the queen should support the trade policy of the people of Qin, because only when the trade is developed can more food reach here. That's all I want to say." The Minister of Transportation said.

"This." Han Shu thought about it thoughtfully at this moment.In her opinion, what the Minister of Communications of the State of Qin said made a lot of sense.From this point of view, it is indeed very beneficial to Qin.This situation is also very beneficial to South Korea.South Korea's own trade is mostly formed by taking advantage of its own transportation advantages.If there is no such geographical advantage, I am afraid that it will be difficult for South Korea to develop.

"South Korea itself develops trade with the help of convenient transportation. Zhao in the north, Qin in the west, Wei and Qi in the east, and Chu in the south, all need to facilitate the exchange of trade materials here. I I think. South Korea should meet the traffic situation in this situation.” The Minister of Transportation said after looking at Han Shu.He is the Minister of Transportation, so he is naturally concerned about transportation, not other factors. At this time, the Minister of Transportation explained from the perspective of transportation, which gave Han Shu's originally blocked thinking some fresh water.

"En. What the minister said is very reasonable." Han Shu praised at this time.

"Thank you Queen for the compliment." The Minister of Transport said at this time.

"En. Thank you very much. Your thought made me see a lot of things I didn't see." Han Shu said.

After the persuasion of the Minister of Transport.Han Shu and Qin Guo reached a lot of consensus on trade.Qin and South Korea have initially reached a unified understanding that Qin's trade is beneficial to South Korea, and as long as South Korea follows Qin's trade, it will also share a considerable part of the profits.Thinking of the benefits he had gained, South Korea no longer rejected Qin's request.

After the private meeting, the Minister of Transport and Meng Yi returned to the Qin Embassy in a private car.

"If it wasn't for your persuasion, I'm afraid we wouldn't let South Korea let go." Meng Yi continued.

"Well, it's nothing. If South Korea doesn't agree, I think we have other ways to get them to agree. I just explained some situations, which let South Korea see where they are." Minister of Transport Said.

"If it weren't for that. They wouldn't be paying attention to what we've identified," the transport minister said.

"En. You said it very well." Meng Yi continued.

"So next, do you have any good ideas?" Meng Yi asked at this time.

"Well. I think the next thing we have to do is to open up more traffic lines, and we have to complete this situation as soon as possible." The Minister of Transportation said.

"The funds obtained from bond financing must be on the traffic line. It must be used on the traffic line." The Minister of Transportation emphasized again at this time.

"This is very important to us," the transport minister said.

"If the state of Qin wants to start trade at present, it must have a line of communication that can be used. Without the support of the line of communication, it will be difficult for us to carry out trade. Without roads, we will not be able to carry out trade, and Qin's interests will not be able to expand." The Minister of Transport said. .

"The most important thing for us now is to build railways to the capitals and counties of all countries. In addition to railways and roads, if there are no roads and railways, it will be difficult to complete Qin's trade activities. This is very important to Qin." said the transport minister.

"En. What you said is very good. It is very correct. Next, we will discuss this issue. This issue is very important to us." Meng Yi said at this time.

"En. Thank you, Prime Minister." The Minister of Transport said.

"The prosperity of Xinzheng is the same as that of Xianyang in our state of Qin." The Minister of Transportation said looking at the scenery outside the window at this time.

"People come and go. There are many people, just like Xianyang." The Minister of Transport said.

"En. They are also very prosperous, and they are also a reference for Qin Xianyang. Their prosperity is of great help to us." Meng Yi said at this time.

"Oh." Meng Yi noticed at this time that a Korean was approaching quickly outside the Minister of Transportation's window. He was wearing a coat and lowered his hat.Meng Yi watched the opponent's every move.
