"These are the meeting minutes recorded by the House of Commons themselves. They are all here. Especially what the young man Zhang Ping said, I have specially excerpted it." Li Zuoche said to Li Mu. Li Mu put on his glasses and looked through it.

stand up.

"This young man's views are not simple." Li Mu looked at it and said. As for the discussion at the House of Commons meeting, Li Mu heard about it later, because this shows that this matter has attracted the attention of all levels of Zhao State. Next

The members of the House of Representatives come from the common people, especially the business class. The members of the House of Lords mainly have the opinions of the nobles. Their opinions are only reference opinions because they cannot put forward constructive opinions. Li Mu dislikes the House of Lords very much.

, because they are always making trouble unreasonably.

"I think it's just a difference in perspective and way of thinking." Li Zuoche expressed his opinion.

"Oh, tell me what you think." Li Mu said to Li Zuoche.

"My opinion is that Zhang Ping is a businessman. He thinks about issues more from the perspective of a businessman, such as trade. The prime minister has never done business personally and cannot do business with these people. Naturally,

I don’t know what sells fast or what can be sold, but businessmen are different, that’s what they do, and naturally they know more about the details than the prime minister knows,” Li Zuoche said.

"As for the prime minister, he considers the problem from a military perspective and a political perspective." Li Zuoche said.

"Prime Minister, think about it. What is our starting point?" Li Zuoche said.

"We are considering the interests of the Zhao State. What kind of reaction will the Zhao State have if they get this land? The businessmen are considering the actual economic interests. Their interests are very realistic, and our interests seem to be

It is also very realistic, but in fact there are many things to consider and it needs to be comprehensive." Li Zuoche explained.

"Haha." Li Mu laughed.

"Prime Minister, this is it." Li Zuoche looked at Li Mu in confusion.

"I'm laughing at you, you can become a member of parliament." Li Mu said with a smile.

"Well, I think they have to choose me," Li Zuoche said.

"Haha." Li Mu laughed.

"However, what Zhang Ping said makes sense, especially when it comes to controlling war." Li Mu said.

"Previous wars were uncontrollable and tended to escalate, but the Qin people were able to effectively control the process of the war, especially in some places. If they wanted to fight, they could fight. If they didn't want to fight, they would have to retreat immediately. This is different from

The Qin Army's style of fighting before was completely different, and the Qin Army's fighting style had a purpose." Li Mu said.

"That is to say, the people of Qin fight wars entirely for the benefit of merchants. If this continues, they will be very sustainable and will not harm the country because of the protracted war. The Qin State has done this before

Things, it will take them a long time to recover before they can reach their previous level. And Qin’s current national foundation cannot be harmed at all." Li Mu analyzed.

"It seems that we should take this land." Li Mu said this. In fact, some of Zhang Ping's words solved some of Li Mu's doubts. What is the purpose of the Qin State? The people of the Qin State will not give it to the State of Zhao for no reason.

A colony. What is the reason and why is it done? Zhang Ping’s explanation is business. Taking into account the expansion of Qin State in any previous period, he found that Qin State’s expansion has become very clear. This is commercial demand, especially Qin State’s current

Stopping at the gate of the Western Regions, the Qin people had already occupied an area.

The Qin State stopped advancing in the Western Region. In addition to many reasons of its own, an important reason was commercial factors. Railway transportation could not keep up. At the same time, their commercial development cooperation also needed to continue. And Qin State's attention

put them all

In the Western Regions, the Qin State had no time to take care of the Qiang people on its flanks and rear, especially the mountainous Qiang people on the plateau flanking the Hexi Corridor. Instead of putting tens of thousands of troops on the defense line, it was better to retreat proactively and leave them to the Zhao people.

The Zhao people established their own colonies.

There is also a natural limitation to such a colony. First of all, the food production in the plateau area is very limited, which determines that the number of people cannot be too large, and it also has to rely heavily on Qin's railway transportation.

Secondly, Zhao State also needs to deal with the attack of the mountain Qiang people and carry out trade, which requires Zhao State to be flexible. In fact, this colony belongs to Zhao State, but in fact it implements a federal system or a loose confederacy.

In this case, Zhao State actually has very weak control over the colonies. But this is conducive to the development of the colonies because there are no more restrictions on the development of the colonies.

The last point is to deal with the problem of the mountain Qiang people. The purpose of controlling war and fighting the mountain Qiang people is trade, and trade cannot avoid conflicts. It requires the protection of soldiers, but the protection is very moderate. This degree is to protect trade. In this way

As a result, the development of the colony entered a virtuous cycle.

"One more thing is the attitude of the people of Qin?" Li Mu said.

"You must know that the colonies established are closely related to the Qin State. If Zhao and Qin are at odds, what will be the result?" Li Mu was worried about the last point.

"This." Li Zuoche thought for a while and said.

"I don't think the people of Qin would do this." Li Zuoche said.

"Why?" Li Mu asked.

"Because Qin has an open prime minister." Li Zuoche said.

"The reason why the Qin State was able to occupy and stabilize the Western Regions and have such a large area in the north was, to a large extent, because of the Prime Minister of the Qin State." Li Zuoche said.

"Yeah." Li Mu nodded.

"That's right." Li Mu said.

"In this case, we want this colony." Li Mu said.

"However, we cannot wait for us to speak. We have to have the House of Lords come to this conclusion on its own. Only in this way can we establish our own colony." Li Mu said.

"Well, let's wait." Li Zuoche said.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"Our Korean army is going to launch an attack on the Chu army stationed in Langya. Attack by land and sea." Zhang Liang introduced to Meng Yi. Meng Tian nodded on the side. He was very clear about South Korea's strategic purpose. He had been

An officer who accurately analyzed South Korea's movements.

"What can our Qin State do?" Meng Yi asked at this time.

"We hope that Qin can win more support." Zhang Liang said.

"We need the support of all countries. Without this, it will be difficult for us to control the war, and the war may further expand. This is the last thing we want to see." Zhang Liang told Meng Yi.
