Chapter 1298: Is your squadron

South Korean ships are heading towards Qin's home port base. There are also a large number of other armed merchant ships sailing out of Qin's shipyard.

"This month we have work to do again." A Qin worker from Qin Guo Beigang Shipyard said at this time.

"Look at those wooden boats." A young Qin worker said at this time.

"Why don't they use iron to make ships." The young shipbuilder said at this time.

"Their money can only buy cannons, not iron ships." An old worker said at this time.

"Qin's shipbuilding factory is almost filled with these wooden boats. These wooden boats are everywhere," the young worker said.

"Okay. Even if we have iron-hulled ships, we still haven't stayed in the port. Look at those warships. Qin's shipbuilding technology is so mature, but no warship has appeared on the sea, and the Yangtze River in Chu State does not have ours. Warships, although our armed merchant ships appeared on the Yangtze River, they did not occupy a piece of the ocean.” The old worker said at this time.

"Those wooden boats, they broke, but they went to sea." said the old worker.

"From this perspective, we are indeed not qualified to laugh at those wooden boats going to sea." said the old worker.

"Get to work. We still have a lot of ships to modify, and they need to install more artillery." The old worker said at this time.

Immediately, Qin's shipbuilding factory began a busy day, and the shipyard accepted a large number of commercial ship modifications. These merchant ships came from Chu, and a small part came from South Korea. The number of wooden ships in the Qin State was not small. After all, the cost of building ships with wood would be much lower in this period. The use of iron ships requires a lot of money.

However, in this dialogue, it also shows the current situation of Qin State. Qin's naval career came to a great halt because of the unusually slow progress of Qin's maritime commerce.

At present, the Qin State only has a developed shipbuilding industry. However, in terms of shipping and water trade, Qin State has fallen into a great halt. Qin State is still relying on land trade, and the water trade action is replaced by the Chu people. Up. The people of Qin had no advantage in taxation, especially the people of Chu had deliberately increased the trade tax. This kind of trade tax was deliberately aimed at Qin, and Qin had nothing to do. Because Qin Guo couldn't concentrate his energy here.

So Qin people came up with a way to use Chu people. Because of this, you can save a lot of money. First of all, in terms of taxes, the people of Chu will try their best to avoid these unreasonable taxes. Secondly, their transportation costs are very low, especially when they use wooden ships. The cost of the ships, the construction period and their maintenance costs are very low, so that their trade costs can be quickly reduced, so Qin people finally find Seeing a cheap and effective method, they transferred the foreign trade from Qin to Chu to the people of Chu. Behind this measure is the slow progress of Qin's maritime business.

The taxes generated by Qin's trade on the water are also very limited, and it is difficult to support a large, advanced navy with limited taxes. The Qin State Navy came to a standstill. Shang Wen was unable to persuade the delegates at the taxation meeting to continue to provide sufficient funds to the Navy. The Navy's military expenditure was cut by more than half. Not only that, because of the needs of Qin's land warfare, Qin's war expenses have increased a lot, which makes it even more impossible to use Qin's limited financial income in naval construction.

With the reduction of Qin's expenses on the above, Qin's marine strategy has fallen into an indefinite halt. Shang Wen was also helpless. The demand for marine development could not be formed, which led to the lack of the fundamental foundation for Qin State to maintain its marine strategic needs for a long time.

Shangwen knew that only by investing a certain proportion of financial support could this situation be quickly restored, but from the current situation of Qin State, I am afraid it is still difficult to complete.

Because Qin's fiscal revenue situation has been very bad. There is currently no such energy to accomplish these things.

"My term is still one year. If it can't be completed within a year, then the situation is not good." Shang Wen said to himself after noticing the situation on the ocean.

The situation of Qin's maritime strategy is indeed very bad. However, there are also some achievements. For example, Qin's shipbuilding industry was quickly established, and Qin has a large number of experienced shipbuilding workers. Although there are more wooden ships, these situations are already considered to be for Qin. It's good enough. At the very least, Qin will not encounter any huge difficulties in future shipbuilding.

"Qiqiqiguo, we need to pay attention to some things." Han Fei walked around quickly, then looked at some documents, and made some decisions since the public speech. Han Fei feels very good about himself. His stuttering problem was also cured more than half naturally. Although sometimes stuttering is unavoidable, his condition has improved a lot compared to before.

The assistant behind took out paper and pen to record at this time.

"We need to provide the only part of the gold collected to Qi, and we need to provide them quickly to stabilize the situation in Qi. As for the situation that gold cannot be transported out in Qin." Han Fei Time to pause.

"I. I." Han Fei's mouth twitched at this moment.

"I, I, I will explain the situation to Qin's prime minister." Han Fei said at this time.

"Yes, Prime Minister." The assistant behind said.

"How is the situation with the king?" Han Fei asked at this time.

"Wang. How do you say it. It will take some time to rest." the assistant replied.

"How is Prime Minister Zhang?" Han Fei asked again.

"The situation is still not good. But the prime minister has recovered." The assistant said at this time.

"En. The situation is not too bad." Han Fei said at this time.

"Make arrangements, I need to meet Prime Minister Meng Yi." Han Fei said at this time.

"This. Yes." The assistant was a little surprised, but still thought it could be arranged.

"The export of gold in Qin is very restricted, especially South Korea's large-scale export of gold. We have never encountered it before." Meng Yi refused directly after hearing Han Fei's request.

"Qin has a lot of gold, and it is only supplied to us according to demand." Han Fei said.

"No." Meng Yi said, biting his head.

"This is different, and my mission is not here to talk about gold." Meng Yi said at this time.

"It's best to let go of the golden thing." Meng Yi said while looking at Han Fei.

"No. The gold matter must be resolved." Han Fei said decisively at this time.

"Okay. We need to ask the Xianyang side." Meng Yi continued.

"En." Han Fei signaled as soon as possible.

Inside the Palace of the King of Han. Han Shu sat in a wheelchair and was accompanied by an attendant to Zhang Liang's hospital bed.

"Don't get up." Han Shu said from a distance. Because Zhang Liang's head was wrapped in a bandage at this time. There are still some injuries on the arm and I need to support it hard.

"Chen, thanks to the king." Zhang Liang said weakly.

"Stop talking. You all retreat." Han Shu waved at this moment, and the accompanying attendant nodded and left.

"The prime minister doesn't need to thank me. The widows have to thank the prime minister instead." Han Shu said at this time.

"Wang. King." Zhang Liang heard this and wanted to get up very excited.

"Lie down quickly." Han Shu personally stepped forward at this time and let Zhang Liang lie down again. And such a move made Zhang Liang feel nervous as never before.

"The King." Zhang Liang lay down excitedly.

"This time, the widow is in danger. It depends on the prime minister's rescue when he is in trouble." Han Shu lowered his head and said at this time. Han Shu's long hair fell in front of Han Fei's arm. This made Han Fei feel nervous as never before.

"Wang. King." Zhang Liang said excitedly.

"If it weren't for the prime minister, the widow would have been in danger long ago. Don't say more about the prime minister. The widow understands in his heart." Han Shu said at this time.

"This." Zhang Liang lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Don't say more about the prime minister." Han Shu motioned to Zhang Liangdao.

"Yes." Zhang Liang nodded.

"The prime minister should rest more." Han Shu turned and left as he said. And Zhang Liang could only watch Han Shu leave.

Inside a military base in Xianyang, Qin State. The airship combat unit of the Qin Heavenly Army is holding a military meeting.

"This time we have a mission. The target is the Qinling area in the south of Xianyang. We will start a military search there, and then use machine guns to attack the criminals wanted by the king." said a colonel of the Celestial Army.

And there are a large number of Celestial pilots sitting down at this time.

"Oh. Sir. Why don't we transfer to the southwest of Qin State to fight?" At this time, a lieutenant put forward his own opinion.

"I don't know. The situation in Qin State is not allowed." The colonel replied.

"This is the meaning of the above. Okay. These circumstances are not allowed to be discussed in the future." The colonel said at this time.

"The mission area this time is in the mountains. In the mountains, the flight situation is very complicated. Therefore, we only sent one squadron, which is your squadron." said the colonel.

"Oh." The pilots exclaimed dissatisfied at this time. Because the flying area is an area where no mission has been performed.

"This is the flying area." The colonel pointed to the large map behind and said.

"Your task is to see strangely dressed people in this area and shoot them. Because of the complex situation in this area, your squadron came in handy. The reason is that your squadron is equipped with radios. We want to use radios. Maintain an unprecedented combat operation. This operation is very important to us and has great positive significance for future operations." The colonel looked at the pilots and said.
