The huge demand for slaves in the Qin State quickly made the slave trade one of the hottest businesses, and many merchants in the Chu State broke out instantly by doing the slave business. The huge demand of the slave trade and the high profits have to make Korean businessmen pay more attention to it.

"The widows of businessmen are desperately opening factories to produce a large amount of industry. As a result, they only rely on the Chu and Qi markets. Now that Wei is in front of us, it is difficult for widows to do business. Business is difficult to do. Taxes cannot be guaranteed. Taxes cannot be guaranteed, so how can the widowed South Korea rise." Han Shu said.

"Therefore, the widow believes that the slave business mentioned in the telegram should be done, not only can be done, but also big." Han Shu said.

And Zhang Liang on the side just listened to Han Shu's explanation quietly as an observer.

Zhang Liang calmly thought about the pros and cons of this slave trade. For now. The slave trade does have great benefits for Korea, but this practice of directly plundering the population of barbaric tribes is somewhat immoral. Moreover, it is extremely cruel. Zhang Liang had seen how the Qin people treated their prisoners of war and surrounding barbaric tribes. The practice is extremely cruel and immoral. Now South Korea will do the same. Is this a bit too much?

However, these are nothing to Han Shu. In Han Shu's view, since Qin did this, there is a natural reason to do so. And the benefits can be seen by everyone. The Qin State can attack the barbaric tribes around it and eliminate some security risks for itself. At the same time, they can also create many opportunities for their own troops to strengthen their combat capabilities. Such opportunities are very important to Qin.

same. South Korea also needs such an opportunity. Especially the continuous external expansion. South Korea’s economy is developing rapidly. It just means that South Korea’s economic strength has recovered to a certain extent, but a country is not only economic strength, but the most important thing is force. South Korea does not have a way to transform economic strength into force, such as military personnel and Korean military personnel. Most of them were trained by Qin soldiers. Because South Korea was in a central area, they became very careful about the war with the surrounding areas. And there is no one who can practice hands. For South Korea, it is impossible to increase its own armed forces by means of war. At the same time, the factories opened in South Korea also need a certain amount of war stimulus to be transformed into the arsenal that South Korea needs. Because when the country uses large quantities of war orders to stimulate the economy. The economy often responds accordingly. Just like Qin State. Continuous use of war to stimulate the country's economy. Qin's economic development will be so fast. Of course, the excessive use of war methods will have the opposite effect on the economy to a certain extent. But now Shangwen is trying his best to control it.

And now South Korea’s economic development is at a crossroads. Han Shu used improper methods. Especially with the help of the power of Qin State. Naturally, we must study Qin comprehensively. Coupled with Han Shu's own strong rise. Naturally, South Korea must turn to a strong direction at this crossroads. It is even able to go up a big step. Han Shu will naturally not give up any good opportunities that are conducive to the rise of South Korea.

"We should encourage our businessmen to go to Qin to develop their business there. I heard that Chu merchants captured a large number of Vietnamese people from overseas and sold them to Qin. Naturally, we can too. The widows have such an idea, we put our Industrial products are transported to Qin and sold to Chu through Qin's transport ships, or we make our own ships and sell them to Chu, and then cross over to Chu, and then go overseas to capture more Vietnamese and return to Qin. This way. The profit is more than twice the profit. For us Korean businessmen, this kind of business is extremely profitable, and we can also collect taxes quickly." Han Shu said.

"It's hard for the minister to say anything." Zhang Liang could only say such things. This is because this method is too inhumane, and at the cost of destroying one place, South Korea's rise was achieved. Zhang Liang thinks this is too cruel.

For ethical considerations, Zhang Liang believes that South Korea’s move in this direction is a bit too radical. Especially the slave trade, this kind of business that Zhang Liang has never heard of. This makes Zhang Liang feel very difficult, and he has a lot of worries about the future of South Korea.

Han Shu on the side didn't think so. She herself believes that South Korea should do the same. Moreover, this kind of business, although Qin Guo did it. But what I think is bigger than Qin Guo's business. Moreover, Qin State relied on railway transportation, but the ship transportation capacity was very large. And it is aimed at the South. Qin State has no place to set foot. This is very beneficial to South Korea.

Because South Korea can use the excuse of capturing a large number of slaves to build more strongholds. If these strongholds are connected together, they will become South Korea's overseas territories. such. South Korea has a lot of strategic space. This is unprecedented for South Korea.

I have to say that Han Shu's idea is bold. And it's ahead. It is estimated that Han Shu's idea is that among all the current high-level leaders, there is the first upper-level ruler to expand the idea of ​​foreign colonies. Although Qin Guo had Shangwen's idea of ​​expanding overseas. But Shang Wen's ideas were basically not based on overseas colonies. It is to obtain abundant overseas resources, especially oil, rubber, diamonds and other scarce resources. Regarding the expansion of overseas colonies, he really didn't think so far. Moreover, the upper echelons of Qin were not interested in expanding overseas colonies.

The State of Qin is on the border of the west. Around him are some nomadic tribes on the grasslands. These tribes are scattered across the vast grasslands. The vast land has given the upper strata of the Qin State, especially the traditional geographical limitations, they believe that the government land is far more valuable than conquering the ocean, and Qin is currently doing so. Qin State's railway strategy was launched under this influence. For the ocean. The people of Qin are not very caring at present.

In this way, although Qin State started the shipping industry earlier. But he did not seize the opportunity of sailing. On the contrary, South Korea, which is extremely disadvantaged in all aspects, was the first to realize this aspect. And the upper echelon intends to encourage this. Although I only used this slave trade to develop overseas colonies, my idea was relatively simple. But it is the best time for South Korea to seize a historical opportunity for rapid rise. Under the leadership of Han Shu's generation. South Korea seized the opportunity of the second rise in South Korea's history.

Han Shu felt a little dull at Zhang Liang's answer and stopped talking. She thinks that Zhang Liang's ideas are somewhat conservative. This is the first time that Han Shu has such an evaluation of Zhang Liang.

However, Zhang Liang did not feel that way. He still adopts a passive resistance to the slave trade. He believes that doing so will have many unfavorable factors for the future development of South Korea. But how to persuade Han Shu, he is really hard to persuade. Because the state considers interests, not morality. That kind of morality is just the moral cloak of interest and nothing more.

In this way, the idea of ​​overseas colonies was established in a dialogue between the monarchs and ministers in South Korea. Although there is not a tacit understanding between the emperor and his subjects, it started under the strong promotion of the emperor.

Then South Korea began a series of preparation stages. Zhang Liang is not willing to participate in this matter at all. Therefore, Han Shu did not involve Zhang Liang. Instead, let some more radical young Korean ministers participate in the formulation of plans. For the slave trade. Han Fei's attitude is also extremely ambiguous. He wants to make South Korea rise quickly, but he does not want to rise through this method. Therefore, he supports and opposes it. But as long as the queen agrees, it doesn't matter what else, because no one cares what one or two important ministers think.

In addition to fighting a border war between neighboring countries, South Korea has to fight a tariff war. South Korea will have many wars to fight in the future. As for how much to fight, it depends on the benefits.

However, young Koreans now have a lot of enthusiasm to join the army.

"We want to join the army. Why not let us join the army." A group of young Koreans shouted loudly at a Korean guards garrison camp.

"Go back, hurry up. Don't let me shoot." A Korean sentry with a bayonet-mounted rifle looked nervously at the surrounding crowd.

"We want to join the army, not to attack the barracks." The young man shouted loudly.

"We have never been so active before joining the army," the young man shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes. Let's join the army. Let's join the army." the young man shouted loudly. South Korea’s previous conscriptions were common. compulsory. This kind of universal coercion is not the kind of conscript. It's the kind that temporarily participates in the battle. In other words, many people are cannon fodder. The mortality rate is high.

But South Korea followed the Qin State to issue military pay. Moreover, the soldiers were strictly controlled and the weapons were vigorously armed. This allows the size of the army to shrink rapidly. The quality of soldiers has been rapidly improved.

The army also pays attention to high efficiency. And it's spending money on training. Equipped with weapons. The large investment in these resources has forced the government to carry out purposeful suppression in peacetime. South Korea is currently adopting this approach.

Because of this, South Korea’s army is not very large. And the number of soldiers recruited each year is very limited. Because the factory needs a lot of labor to do the work. In consideration of restoring the Korean economy. South Korea does not recruit soldiers on a large scale. And there is no corresponding system and regulations to stipulate.

but now. War broke out suddenly in South Korea. Especially the encouragement of victory. The enthusiasm for the people to join the army suddenly rose. This is a good thing for South Korea, but it is a test for the South Korean military. A harsh test, and it came too suddenly.
