The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin
Chapter 1569: spices
"What do you think of this telegram?" King Qin handed the telegram sent by Meng Yi to Meng Yi at this time.
Meng Yi took the telegram and looked, then shook his head.
"What's your opinion?" King Qin asked.
"Back to the king, some circumstances are still unclear." Meng Tian replied.
"We don't know the specific situation of South Korea. However, from the telegram, the minister believes that South Korea intends to develop overseas colonies. At the same time, Chu also develops overseas colonies. The Yangtze River has now become an important tax channel. At present, Qin's situation is not very favorable." Meng Tian said.
"En." King Qin nodded.
"Wait for Meng Yi's telegram." Qin Wang said.
"En." Meng Yi nodded.
King Qin chose to wait quietly. Wait until the situation becomes clear.
Inside Meng Yi's prime minister's office.
"The prime minister. This is the information we just got. The information is a bit incomplete, but it can also explain some problems." The assistant said with the information.
"Let me see". Meng Yi put down the pen in his hand.
"According to the data, South Korea has built about forty large and medium-sized warships in Qin. Our people also provide various training services, such as training their gunners for artillery shooting, etc." said the assistant. .
"In addition to these, there is a little special attention." The assistant looked at Meng Yi and said.
"What?" Meng Yi looked at the report. Hearing this, Meng Yi immediately raised his head and asked.
"Some of our college students have also been invited by them to go to sea." The assistant mentioned this at this time.
"Oh. There are such things." Meng Yi looked at the assistant strangely.
"En." The assistant nodded at this time.
"All those departments?" Meng Yi asked at this time.
"En. It seems to be agriculture and botany," the assistant said at this time.
"En." Meng Yi nodded.
"So, how is Chu State's situation?" Meng Yi asked next.
"What we initially found is that our bank has lent them more than 300,000 gold in financial assistance. In addition, we have a lot of artillery and other military assistance." The assistant said.
"Three hundred thousand gold." Meng Yi said.
"What can 300,000 gold do?" Meng Yi said.
"Prime Minister, three hundred thousand gold is enough. And we only found out. There are still many that have not been found out. These funds are enough to build more gunboats." The assistant said.
"In addition, our shipyard accepts a large number of orders for warships. These orders come from the noble navy." The assistant said.
"This. Greatly beyond our expectations." Meng Yi said.
"We don't even know these things," Meng Yi said.
"What's the situation in the southern state of Qin, Chu, and South Korea?" Meng Yi asked anxiously.
"This." The assistant looked at Meng Yi.
"That's all I know for the time being," the assistant said.
"En." Meng Yi nodded.
"That's it." Meng Yi said.
Meng Yi began to write down some things he knew, but when Qin State paid attention to the Northern Western Regions, Chu and South Korea were already secretly developing their own overseas colonies.
In the southern waters of Chu State, a Chu State ship was approaching a pirate they found.
"This storm really didn't come at the right time, and we don't know where it went," said the captain of the Chu State ship.
"Captain, there happens to be an island ahead. Let's go up to avoid the wind." A middle-aged man said.
"Who knows if there are any indigenous people on it. If so, we just caught a few, and then this small island is ours." The captain looked at it with a telescope.
"Order, our people are ready to disembark and land on the island. Everyone should go ashore and move their muscles and bones well." The captain said with a telescope.
Immediately, the captain's people began to prepare. They took their weapons and adjusted the gun muzzle of the artillery on the ship. They wanted to provide some fire support as soon as possible.
"Captain, do we fire a few shots. To prevent the indigenous people from being disadvantaged by us," the middle-aged man said.
"En. That's right. Come on a few shots." The captain said at this time.
"It's good to scare the natives," the captain said.
"Come on. Fire." The captain ordered loudly.
"Yes. Head." The gunner shouted loudly.
"Aim, release," the gunner shouted loudly.
"Boom. Boom. Boom." The artillery on the ship aimed and started shooting at the island.
"Swish. Swish." The cannonball whizzed out.
"Boom. Boom." The shells that fell on the island began to explode. The captain's sailors climbed onto the boat with their weapons, and they set off toward the island.
"Swish." The cannonball whizzed past. The sailors rowed the boat close to the island, their faces were solemn, they knew what was on the island, they didn't know anything. Some are wild places, everything is unknown.
"These cannons. Enough shots." At this time, an old sailor in the boat said.
"That is, these cannons can suppress these indigenous people." An officer said, holding his own musket.
"We don't need to fight, these indigenous people can be scared to death." The old sailor rowing said.
"Hurry up," the old sailor urged loudly.
"Hua la la. Hu la la." The sailors rowed the boat quickly, and the boat slowly approached the island.
"Order to stop firing. Enough shot." The captain said while looking at the island with a telescope.
At this time, there was thick smoke on the island, and some hay was burning with fire.
"Come on." Ashore. A large number of sailors rushed up quickly. They are holding their own muskets.
"Bang. Bang. Bang." The musket kept firing.
The sailors did not receive much military training. As soon as they got ashore, they shot randomly, hoping to frighten the indigenous people by shooting them.
"Bang. Bang." The sailors kept shooting, and they shot where they thought they had enemies.
"Stop, stop. Stop all." The old sailor shouted loudly at this time.
"Stop it all," the old sailor shouted loudly at this time.
"Bang." After a sailor fired the last shot. Just be quiet. The sailors lowered their bodies and looked around carefully.
The sailors looked around.
"Hey. Did you smell it?" a sailor said cautiously.
"What?" another sailor asked at this time.
"What's so fragrant," the sailor said at this time.
"Hey. That's right. You smell like it." At this time, a sailor said.
"Yes. That's right." The sailors all said at this time.
"I can smell it too. It smells good," the sailors said.
"Yes. That's right," said the sailors.
"Be careful, don't be poisonous," the old sailor said cautiously.
"Ah." The sailors stepped back.
"That's right," the sailors said worriedly. The sailors didn't know what to do. However, after the sailors stood on their heels, they quickly began to dock their ships, and then their captain went ashore.
"Captain, you smell, is this poisonous gas? This thing is too fragrant. I feel dizzy if it smells," the old sailor said.
"En. It is indeed, this thing. It is incense. En. His mother's incense." The captain smelled it and said.
"It's incense. Look for it. What is it? It's so incense." said the captain.
"En. I have already sent someone." Old Hand Water said.
"Hmm. Take a look." The captain sat down and said.
"You're talking, what smells like, isn't it really poisonous. This smell, I am almost dizzy." A sailor said with a gun.
"That's, this scented thing, smell me, who knows if this thing is poisonous." Another sailor said with a musket.
"En. Stop. It seems. The aroma comes from the burning wood." said the first sailor.
"En. It seems to be." Another sailor.
"Go. Let's take it back," the sailor said.
"But." The other sailor looked at the sailor questioningly and said.
"Come on," the sailor said and put out the fire above. Then drag the wood back.
"En. It seems that this is a kind of fragrant wood." The captain said after sniffing the smoking wood at this time.
"This is a kind of spice wood. This thing is more valuable than slaves." The captain said after looking at it.
"Captain, this is fragrant wood. I said that, this thing. No wonder it is so fragrant. With this fragrant wood, we are not rich yet." A sailor said excitedly.
"Yes. Captain, we don't post it yet." The others stepped forward and said.
"Hurry up. Find this kind of wood, and see how much of this kind of wood there are on this island. We have to have a number, and the more the better. These things can only be used by noble lords. Us ordinary people, did not expect, It can also be used." The captain said happily.
"Haha. Go and find it." The captain ordered loudly. Then the sailors attacked one after another. They looked for trees like fragrant wood. In their opinion, a fragrant wood was the best thing for them to make a fortune.
These fragrant woods are actually spices. At this time, the ships of Chu State had already entered the South China Sea area. Some islands in the southern waters were close to some special climates, and this kind of climate easily made some vegetation flourish. And spices are produced in such a climate.
Among the nobles in the Warring States period, the demand for spices was very large. Not only food, but also various uses. The source of spices is very small. Only in some jungles in the south, and it is more difficult to find. Under such circumstances, the spice business is easy to do. Because the demand is great. But the supply is scarce. Such an unexpected discovery naturally made the people of Chu feel that they had found a windfall. Such a huge demand has stimulated them to conduct another business. Spice business. Such a business is a monopoly business.
