Chapter 554: Optimistic king

At that time, the triangular trade was very famous. In order to obtain huge slave resources, the colonists tried their best to obtain slave resources. Slaves existed in tribal wars. Colonists exchanged prisoners of war with local tribes for a small amount of wine and light industrial products. Sometimes, the colonists participated in the war themselves. In this way, the current contradiction between farmers and factory owners in the Qin State has been resolved. Also temporarily let the slave system survive. In fact, Qin’s current large-scale agricultural equipment still cannot meet the production needs. It is either too heavy or technically unclear. These reasons lead to the necessity of the existence of slaves. Moreover, the relations among the surrounding ethnic groups in Qin are extremely complicated. It is necessary for him to do so.

Shangwen told the two of this idea. But the two obviously disagree.

There are specific considerations for disagreement. First, the State of Qin does not understand the situation of the Northern Huns. As for the specific situation, he does not know what is going on. Second, the Qin people have always distrusted the Huns. Moreover, the Huns were also rebellious, and they could not understand each other. The power gap between the two sides is extremely wide now, especially since Qin's national strength is increasing at an alarming rate every day. Coupled with the Qin people's mastery of advanced weapons, the Qin people believe that all problems can be solved by force. This situation exists in every general in the Qin Kingdom. This is not only the generals who think so, but even the ordinary people think so. peace. Peace if you want peace. The power of peace is in the hands of the Qin people. The people of Qin don't want peace. And the people of Qin hate the ugly-looking people who have scattered hair next to them, and never take a bath in their lives. They think they deserve to die.

In the end, the State of Qin took the initiative in all surrounding situations. The State of Qin does not need to grant them peace. The stimulus of war is far greater than peace. The prevailing militant mood in the country.

After listening to the analysis of the two. Shang Wen was helpless. Even if Shang Wen forced it through, how to implement it, the intelligence personnel were restricted by the Qin State's war operations at all. Qin State didn't even know the specific situation of the other party. How serious is this? In the Western Regions, Qin only knew that there were small countries such as Loulan and Cheshi, but what was their king's name and how many people were there. I don't know what the weapon is. Qin Guo only knew where they were probably. I don't know anything else.

Foreign trade, tapping these potential markets does not seem to work. Shang Wen had a headache thinking about these issues. So temporarily put aside these problems to the future advisory group to solve. Hope they have a good view.

At this time, it has entered the beginning of December, and the State of Qin has not sent troops to the six countries for two years. For the surrounding ethnic minorities, Qin actively adopted an expansion policy. For this reason, the Six Kingdoms has enjoyed a peaceful life that is rare for two years. But Qi and Yan couldn't fight each other. But the scale of the war can still be controlled.

King Yan also announced that he would return to Yandu from western Liaoning. In order to alleviate the adverse effects of the rush when escaping. He definitely made the entrance ceremony very huge.

He spent 200,000 gold to build a road from western Liaoning to Yandu. Then the roads in the city were also repaired. Not only that, the palace was rebuilt. Unlike the past, Yan State Palace spent a huge amount of money to build a palace made of glass.

The huge floor-to-ceiling glass made Qin’s engineers and workers spend countless brain cells to make for their thinking. The size of the glass exceeds the Xianyang Palace of Qin State.

Many things appear for the first time. Such as street lights. Because of the curfew in Qin. Street lights have not yet appeared specifically. However, King Yan spent a huge amount of money to erect street lights.

The street lamp is a special large kerosene lamp. The appearance of kerosene lamps allowed Qin to replace the small oil lamps of the past. And the brightness of the lamp exceeds that of a small oil lamp. And he has a glass lampshade on his exterior. In this way, the kerosene lamp can be hung outside.

The reason why King Yan uses street lights is because he can show light effects at night. The appearance of paper, especially colored paper, can make lanterns have various artistic effects. King Yan just hangs up all kinds of lanterns after he enters the city. Then release fireworks to increase the effect of entering the city.

The ceremony was very pompous, and he planned to let his army enter the city in neat steps during the day. Cavalry, infantry, artillery. The neat uniforms of the soldiers surpassed the previous generations of Yan Wang. Such a feat is unique.

Qin Guo reporter was also invited. The latest camera technology has also been applied by reporters. Although the newspaper is developing a new printing method. But it does not prevent Qin from taking these photos to record this moment.

The fifth day of December. King Yan's army and relying team drove into the city with confidence.

On the main road in Yandu is an asphalt road that was first paved by the engineers of the State of Qin. The paved road is very complete and clean, but it does not match the dilapidated houses on both sides of the capital. In the capital that has experienced war, the houses of civilians have been severely burned and looted. Even the palace is not immune. But even so, King Yan did not repair a house for his people. He only repaired palaces, roads, and bare lamp poles.

The soldiers of the Yan Army wore neat uniforms, and their boots looked very bright with the help of shoe polish. Some people of Yan Country who looked at them stubbornly couldn't help raising their arms to block the sun.

Yan Jun's temporary military strength did not make Yanmin who seemed numb to show a trace of joy. On the contrary, what is more revealing in their winks is a kind of helplessness in life. Gao Jianli was also in the crowd. He was delighted to see such an army, but saw the contrast between the dilapidated houses on both sides and the show-off of Yan Wang. He shook his head and left with a helpless sigh.

"Pop." A reporter captured the moment of Gao Jianli with a camera in his hand. Although the camera is still a bit cumbersome, it captures this moment. It allows reporters to use their imagination to write the stories they see.

"You, you." Gao Jianli obviously didn't adapt to Qin Guo's actions.

"Hello, sir. We are reporters from Express. Can you tell me what you just thought?" the reporter asked.

"This." Gao Jianli was a little dazed.

"It doesn't matter. Tell me the true thoughts in your mind. Say boldly." The reporter encouraged.

"Well, I, I am puzzled by Wang Shang's approach. Yandu is in ruins. Why not spend a little money to build some houses for us Yan people? Alas, I won't talk about it." Gao Jianli wanted to say, Du Unable to speak, then turned and left. The reporter expressed helplessness. When they interviewed, this happened frequently. But it also reflects the fact that King Yan is a bit arrogant.
