Then this telegram was immediately forwarded to other departments of Qin State and several important ministers.

"Korean. I really don't know what to think about." Wang Jian said as he threw the telegram on the table.

"Build a four-country railway. The railway can directly connect Xianyang in Qin State to Linzi in Qi State. In this way, we soldiers of the Qin Army will not have to walk to fight the Six Kingdoms in the future. Just make a train." Wang Jian smiled. Said.

"Same. People from the six nations can also gather quickly. Attack us along this railway. This railway has its own advantages and disadvantages. At present, we can't see anything." Wei Liao said.

"Yes." Wang Jian nodded.Both Wang Jian and Wei Liao considered the issue from a military point of view.Their way of thinking itself has certain limitations.Such limitations make them often only consider issues from a single perspective on railways.And what King Qin wanted was this effect.

"Prime Minister. This four-country railway in South Korea. I think it can be built." The Minister of Economy said at this time.

"I think so, too." The Minister of Transport saw such a planned railway.He feels very good.

"This railway passes through densely populated areas. The benefits of the railway must be good. And the application capacity of the railway is very high. Therefore, this railway should be repaired." The Minister of Transport said.Most of Qin's railways were built out of strategic considerations.The actual economic benefits are very small.This also caused Qin's railway situation to often be in a state of loss.Fortunately, the railway operators in Qin still have a lot of land resources to make up for their losses.

but.Qin's railway companies found out.If the railway is built in a densely populated area.So.The higher the profitability of the railway.Thus.Qin State had to build railways in densely populated areas.But the population itself is that much.No matter how dense the population is, it cannot reach the density of the population of the six countries.so.Qin's railways must be profitable.It is necessary to build railways among the six countries.

"Well. I also think this is okay. The construction of the railway can open up the markets of the six countries. At present, the market demand of the six countries has weakened. And through railway transportation. We can transport and spread our goods. The large transportation capacity of the railway is just right It can reduce our cost. In this way, the railway can help us open up the market." The Minister of Economy said at this time.

"En." Meng Yi nodded at this time.Agree.but.The officials of the Qin State ignored a truth.That's the truth.Demand shrank in the six countries.The purchasing power of the people is not enough.This is an important reason for the shrinking demand in the six countries.It's not about Qin's goods and road transportation.

1392 Kill the Tax Collector

"This is coal." Shangwen held a piece of coal and handed it to Linger.

"This is coal?" Ling'er took the piece of coal and said.

"Yes, it's coal." Shangwen said.

"Like a stone, right?" Shang Wen said.

"Yes." Ling'er said at this time.

"It's just too dark." Ling'er said as he threw away the coal, then patted his hands.The senior sister at the side picked up the coal and looked at it carefully.

"En. Indeed, the people of Qin never wash their own coal. In fact, the coal should be cleaned." Shang Wen said.

"These black, ink-like things, can they still be washed? Don't they get darker as they are washed?" Ling'er said at this time.

"Cleaning it will improve the quality of coal. The air pollution is too serious. Qin has no pollution prevention law of its own," Shang Wen said at this time.

"How can you tell that the coal you mentioned is made of a big tree?" Senior Sister asked at this time.

"En." Shangwen bent down to pick up a piece of coal at this time.

"Did you see it?" Shangwen said while holding the coal.

"It has the texture of a big tree. You can see it if you look closely." Shangwen said at this time.

"Let me see." Ling'er said standing behind Shang Wen at this time.At this time, the senior sister also held up her own coal and looked at "here. And here. Cough cough cough." Shang Wen coughed.

"Hey, that's right." Ling'er said at this time.

"That's right. Sister, look at the lines ♀ one by one. It's the texture of the trunk." Ling'er turned her head and said to the senior sister at this time.

"En." The senior sister nodded at this time.Shang Wen looked back at the senior sister studying coal.

"Hey." Shang Wen suddenly smiled.

"Haha." Ling'er laughed at this moment.

At this time, the senior sister didn't know that her face was stained with black ash because she was too close to the coal.

"Here." Shangwen handed the other party his own handkerchief at this time.

"You have black and gray borders on your face." Shang Wen pointed to the corresponding position on his face as he spoke.

"Senior Sister's face also looks good with black ash." Ling'er said happily from the side.Shang Wen smiled and turned to leave.He was going to check the train going to Sinzheng, South Korea. If they could not be used as passenger trains, they could only be used as freight trains.The senior sister wiped it with a handkerchief embarrassingly.

"Damn girl." The senior sister scolded at this time.

In the southern state of Chu.

"These damn Chu tax collectors are more ruthless than water robbers and pirates." A businessman came out of the tax ship.And on the river.There are many such merchant ships berthed here, and there are many armed merchant ships among them. Even armed merchant ships have to be a bit cautious.

The Chu State Navy is on the main Yangtze River in the south, especially at some narrow turns.The Chu army initially built dense forts there.The number of artillery on both sides of the strait is as high as more than 200. Such a dense fort position can easily destroy armed merchant ships.Even if the warship passed by forcefully, it would not dare to adopt such measures.

Because the dense artillery will sink the warship in an instant.Under such intensive artillery control.The navy of Chu State tried hard to collect taxes.

"Hurry up. Thirty gold for a large ship, twenty gold for a medium boat, and ten gold for a small boat." An official of the Chu State Navy sitting on a chair shouted loudly at this time.The Chu army soldiers next to them were busy collecting money.

"Ten gold?" A merchant captain exclaimed loudly.

"Why don't you pay it? If you don't pay it, don't pass it. It's a place where Chu people live. From your tone, you are also from Chu country. Are you trying to avoid Chu's taxes?" The official shouted loudly at this time. It was dripped by officials temporarily transferred by the Chu State Navy.And collecting taxes is a rewarding job, and these soldiers who often drop military positions in the army immediately become obsessed with such interests in the face of such interests.They can't control anything.They secretly changed the regulations on the taxes levied by Chu State.

Originally, the taxation of Chu State was fairly reasonable.Big boat two gold.China Shipbuilding One Gold.The small boat received fifty and a half taels of Qin coins.

but.The officials who collected taxes saw that they could receive so much money in one day, and those merchant ships thought that such taxes were reasonable at first, so some people still paid them.And those officials have seen so much money in one day.There were many merchant ships passing by on the Yangtze River, and a lot of taxes were collected. Under the influence of so much money, the officials of the Chu army quickly tampered with the tax collection standards.From the original two golds to twenty golds, this change naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the merchants, but so what, the Chu army had forts.You can't beat others. If you don't pass, you won't even earn the twenty gold.In desperation, those merchants paid out money one after another, which further stimulated those Chu soldiers to act recklessly.

"No, no, my lord. That's not what I meant." At this time.The merchant captain waved his hand and said.

"Hurry up. Otherwise, I will order the fort to sink your ship." The official said loudly at this time.

"Look ♀ is the practice of the tax officials of Chu State." The representative of Qin State Bank standing behind a large group of businessmen said to Xiang Bo at this time. Taxes are too lucrative.Although the above order has already been issued.But there are still many Chu army officials who collect taxes without authorization. Obviously, this tax point is such an example.

"These damn dog officers." Uncle Xiang was very dissatisfied with such officers who broke the law and discipline, and was furious.

"Whoosh." Uncle Xiang immediately pulled out his bronze sword with him.Step forward.

"You officials. The general has already issued an order to stop collecting taxes, but you have ignored the military order. Damn it." Xiang Bo shouted loudly.But the tax collector didn't bother at first, because Xiang Bo was in civilian clothes, but he recognized the bronze sword. It was Xiang Yan's sword as a general. This sword is equivalent to that of general Xiang Yan.

"Ah." The officer looked at Uncle Xiang in horror.

"Damn it." Said Xiang Bo immediately shouted loudly, then raised the bronze sword in his hand and looked down fiercely.

"Ah. Puchi." There was a scream and the sound of blood spattering.

"Gudong." The head of the Chu army officer was cut in half, and half of the head was cut off because of the different force points of the bronze sword.The other half is still on the neck.

"Gudong Gudong Gudong." The other half of the head fell to the ground.The brain matter was mixed with blood and left on the ground, making a gurgling sound.

"Ugh. Ugh." Seeing such a cruel scene, several businessmen vomited on the spot.And some captains also had the urge to vomit, but they all tried their best to restrain themselves.And the bank business representative couldn't bear to look at it at this time—over his head.

"Ah." The few soldiers behind were so frightened that they immediately fell to their knees, and some sat on the ground. Such a cruel scene scared them a lot.

"Return those taxes to those merchants." Xiang Bo ordered at this time.
