2067 Road construction is not a trivial matter

For a long time, the Huns have been a strategic target of the Qin army's attention. As long as the Huns make moves southward, the Qin army will inevitably defend with all its strength. If necessary, it can take tactical offensive actions to prevent the Huns from further advancing.

Activities going south.

However, after a severe blow and a long-term material blockade by the Huns, coupled with attacks by the Qin army and various armed forces, it was difficult for the Huns to recover after their vitality was severely injured. Serious internal strife broke out within the Huns, which made the situation of the Huns

As the situation worsened, it would be difficult for the Huns to threaten the Qin army and the various federal states occupied by Qin for a long time.

Due to the need for trade, Qin also relaxed trade restrictions on the Huns, and there was a large trade gap between the Huns and Qin. Qin had a great advantage in trade. Such an advantage allowed the Qin people to

There are many ways to deal with the Huns, but the Huns are in an extremely disadvantageous position. They need to obtain many materials from the Qin people. For example, for important iron resources, the Huns need to give out a lot of cattle, sheep, and leather in exchange for them.

.Such trade is very beneficial to Qin.

"Tocharians?" Wang Ben asked based on information received from a businessman who went to the Western Regions to do business.

Wang Ben's task was not only to clear out the horse bandits and the Restoration Army in the Western Regions within his military jurisdiction, but also had another important task, the Western Regions. This was an important factor in the Qin army's conquest of troops here.

"Tocharians. What kind of people are these? We have never heard of them before." Wang Ben's focus is now mostly on the eradication, and the soldiers have not yet been able to attract his attention to the situation of the Tocharians.

However, he knew that it was a bit strange. The Yuezhi people had surprised them. Now a Tocharian actually appeared. They had no idea what kind of person this Tocharian was. Before, they had no idea what kind of person this Tocharian was.

He had never seen or introduced him before, so Qin Guo was very surprised.

"Sir, I have a suggestion." The chief of staff on the side suggested at this time.

"What's going on?" Wang Ben asked at this time.

"I think it's best for us not to deal with the Tocharian matter for the time being. We can't handle it ourselves," the chief of staff said.

"Yes. That's true." Wang Ben nodded as he thought about the current situation.

"My opinion is that we should focus on suppressing bandits. In addition, we need to lay cables to the border and extend them through the border. We are far behind in information dissemination. In addition,

In terms of transportation, if we want to use troops against Tocharia or the Parthian Empire in the future, the situation will be very unfavorable for us. You must know that we are the least distance from our border.

They are all more than a thousand miles away, and we still don’t know how far away the other party is. During this period, we must try to avoid such a thing from happening, and let our allies weaken the Parthian Kingdom as much as possible. In addition, we must collect as much as possible

We should better understand each other's situation, so that we can avoid being strategically passive in the future," the chief of staff suggested.

"That's right. Just record it in the memorandum. At the same time, send a telegram to the Ministry of National Defense to let the Ministry of National Defense resolve this matter. Things like road construction should be under the control of the Ministry of National Defense, right?" Wang Ben asked the chief of staff.

"Yes, that's true." The chief of staff nodded.

"Okay. Just send a telegram to the Ministry of National Defense." Wang Ben nodded in agreement.

Xianyang, Qin State. Inside the Ministry of National Defense.

"Building roads is no small matter." Wei Liao, the defense minister, said after seeing the telegram sent by Wang Ben.

"The Ministry of National Defense does not have a lot of military expenditures to build roads, and it has already spent a lot on building landmines. Let Shangwen handle this matter." Wei Liao said, drafting a telegram and sending it to Shangwen.

Zhao Guo Handan, House of Commons.

"The money to buy land seems very cheap, but I think that if there are cheap things, we should not do it. You must know that the current government financial situation is very bad, and with the continuous construction of railway projects, if we buy land,

Although it seems that we only need to give these mountain Qiang people some things

We can get the capital, but if the capital scale is large enough, do we have to continue? How to solve the problem? It will definitely be taxed from us. Once the business tax is increased, what benefits will this have to us?

?" A businessman councilor stood up and raised his objection loudly.

When they heard that taxes were to be levied, some sensitive businessmen frowned. At this time, it was no longer a matter of patriotism. It was related to their vital interests. Everyone knew that the government finances did not have this kind of money, and it was impossible to take it.

With this amount of money, military expenditures are very low. How can such a thing be possible with a sum of money to purchase land? The only solution is

It could be a tax. If there is a tax, their businessmen will definitely not be able to escape. Why? Because they are the richest. As long as everyone's tax is slightly increased by one percentage point, the problem can be solved, but the businessmen will have to spend a lot of money.

Business is easy to do now and everyone is working hard to do business. If the commercial tax is raised at this time, the businessmen will definitely not agree.

"I won't agree to this. I don't want this land anymore." A businessman who had previously been a strong supporter leaned on his chair. He began to hesitate and turned to the opposite opinion because they had to pay for the purchase of the land.

It turns out that this has seriously harmed their interests. It is related to their own interests, and they are still not happy.

"The finance department will definitely not be able to come up with this money. Without this money, how can we buy land? Moreover, everyone should also pay attention to the fact that they are some mountain Qiang people. What if other mountain Qiang people are dissatisfied?" The businessman councilor said at this time

asked loudly.

"They will attack us. If we attack, can we lose such land in vain? Impossible, our only way is to send troops to fight them. The place where the mountain Qiang people live is a barren plateau, and the land is not cultivated at all.

No food is produced, only cattle and sheep, so

Wherever they are, we have to fight them. This will increase our military expenditures. In the end, the finances will not be able to come up with the money. It is us businessmen who can solve the problem. In the end, the problem still falls on us. Such patriotic behavior is too expensive.

Already." The congressman shouted loudly.

For such vital interests, the congressmen began to worry. They were worried that something real would happen to them. In the end, they also spent their money and occupied a place where no one can shit. For them, such a place is

A loss-making business.
