The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Later, Meng Yi asked Zhang Liang to return to the Korean Embassy in the name of rest, while he thought about the matter carefully. Meng Yi decided to think about it first. But it was very difficult to be selective about this matter.

.

If Qin wanted to control this railway, it would be difficult to do so with its current financial resources, but if it gave up the southern railway, especially the Bashu Railway, it would be a difficult choice for Qin. After Meng Yi couldn't figure it out,

It was decided to bring this matter to a cabinet meeting for discussion.

"The shipping route has begun to shift from the Yangtze River waterway in the south to the north. This has a huge impact." The economic minister suddenly realized what was happening and said this immediately.

"But there are no railways in the north, and the volume of sea transportation is particularly large. As a result, Qin State is bound to build a railway directly to Qi State." said the Minister of Transportation.

"Qi's oxcart transportation volume, coupled with the extremely poor condition of those roads. If the roads are not good, it will inevitably affect the transportation volume." said the Minister of Transportation.

"Well, if the shipping is moved to Qi State, Qi State's situation will be different. We should assist Qi State. Moreover, we should take the strategic initiative in Qi State." A security consultant put forward his own opinion.

"Yes." Meng Yi nodded.

"Everyone can talk about it. This railway, from an economic point of view or from other points of view, is bound to be repaired." Meng Yi said. All the ministers nodded. They all agreed with this view.

This is obvious. The maritime road suddenly moved from the south to the north, so the transportation volume in the north increased suddenly. In order to increase the transportation volume, Qin State must improve roads and various means of transportation. This is obvious.

"Well, there is still some time at the moment. It's not the time to be anxious yet," Meng Yi said.

"Currently, we have no factual basis to prove that this will definitely happen, and the foreseeable future has not yet been clearly seen." Meng Yi said calmly.

"But now, we have to make a very suitable plan." Meng Yi said.

"Everyone now knows that Qin's financial situation is very bad." Meng Yi said.

"It will be very difficult to build this railway. Qin 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 Bashu Railway cannot be stopped. The Bashu Railway has now entered the most critical period. If it is given another year, I am afraid it can be opened to traffic. If it is opened, Qin will control Bashu. If the Bashu Railway is abandoned at this time.

I'm afraid it's not appropriate. If we give up at this time, the Bashu Railway will be in vain," said the Finance Minister.

"But where does this money come from?" Meng Yi asked worriedly.

"Well, I think we can issue more bonds," the finance minister said.

"No. The current financial situation is not very good. If the income is not very good, if we continue to borrow heavily at this time, I am afraid that Qin's financial situation will get worse in the future." Meng Yi said with concern.

"Issuing bonds won't work," Meng Yi said.

"Prime Minister, I think we should refer to the Northwest Railway." said the Minister of Economic Affairs.

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

"When the Qin State built the Northwest Railway, it used a business model. All the minerals along the railway line were owned by the railway company. Such property rights are very large. Moreover, if the Central Plains Railway is built, the benefits will be unprecedentedly large. I think, these

People should give priority," the Economy Minister said.

"I've thought about this," Meng Yi said.

"But this time is different. Previously, the northwest that Qin obtained was not Qin's area. In order to stabilize these areas and speed up the stability of these areas, Qin distributed these land without property rights wantonly." Meng Yi said.

"But it's different now. All along the road are Wei, Qi, or Yan. 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 Northwest Railway's approach, 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, and we can mediate to maximize the interests of Qin.

Transformation." Meng Yi said after thinking for a while.

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

"This time it is indeed not simple." said the Minister of Economy.

"The construction of railways spans too many countries. This poses too many challenges to us. It is too difficult to operate," said the Minister of Economic Affairs.

"The minister is right," Meng Yi said.

"We have to do this because it is difficult. You 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 were heading towards Guanzhong.

"Your Majesty, this is the telegram I received when I just arrived at the station." Meng Tian handed a telegram to the King.

"Well, let me take a look." King Qin took the telegram and looked at it.

After reading it, King Qin looked at Meng Tian thoughtfully for a moment.

"There is news from South Korea." King Qin said.

"The shipping route will be moved north, and it will be moved north to the state of Qi." King Qin said.

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

"After the shipping route moves north, the number of merchant ships will decrease, and Chu State will inevitably reduce its tax revenue, which is not good for Chu State. When shipping reaches Qi State and Yan State, the taxes of these countries will become rich, and then they will develop rapidly, and these countries

When the goods stay in Qi and Yan, they need to be transported to Qin by railway. Because Qin is now the economic center area. These things can only reflect their economic value if they are transported to Qin." King Qin analyzed.

"But both countries need to build a railway to connect Qin Guanzhong, and Yan State is okay. Their Yan State can directly connect to Handan, and then pass through Taiyuan to Qin State Xianyang. And the most important road is Qi State.

Qi State does not have a railway or any road to travel on. 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 things involved." King Qin said.

"Yes." After Meng Tian heard this, he realized how complicated this economic issue was. He needed to refer to the situation of various countries to formulate his own plan. And there were so many interests involved. If Qin did not do well, I am afraid that

This creates an unfavorable situation. Meng Tian thinks this matter is very difficult. It is difficult to build this railway.
