The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Prime Minister Zhang, we are here this time to learn more about the ocean." Meng Yi took the initiative to come to the South Korean Embassy in Qin to find Zhang Liang.

"Oh." Zhang Liang was a little surprised.

"I think, regarding ocean matters, your prime minister. Oh. It's Prime Minister Shang Wen, who knows more." Zhang Liang said.

"Oh. Indeed, our Prime Minister Shang Wen mentioned the importance of developing the ocean every time. However, the current situation in the Qin State does not seem to have the intention of developing the ocean. We just want to know this. Even though we are strong The navy, but in maritime trade and the expansion of overseas colonies, seems to have fallen behind your country and Chu country a lot.” Meng Yi said with a smile.

"The prime minister joked." Zhang Liang said with a slight smile.

"Qin State just has no time to take care of it at the moment. If Qin State actively engages in maritime trade, it must be a different picture." Zhang Liang said.

"The prime minister should talk about the ocean. Perhaps this will allow Qin to consider signing the alliance between the two countries." Meng Yi said straightforwardly.

"Oh." It was so straightforward, but Zhang Liang was a little surprised.

"En. Okay." But Zhang Liang reacted all of a sudden, this may be an important motive that moved Qin.

"This overseas trade has more than a hundred times the profit. But there is also a risk of tens of millions. There are pirates on the sea and water pirates on the Yangtze River. Plus all kinds of storms, as well as unknown insect poisons, diseases, and indigenous people on the islands. The more people attack. The risk is great." Zhang Liang said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded. It was the first time that Meng Yi realized this difficult risk.

"Of course. There are still a lot of great advantages overseas. For example, importing a large number of muskets from Qin State, these muskets are extremely cheap. However, when sold to those Chu colonies, the price is quite high, a musket, Less than one gold. But if you sell to the colony, you can get three adult slaves. Diplomatically two Vietnamese women. If these slaves are successfully transported to Qin, you can earn more than fifty gold, especially for women. A good price. In addition, there are more other materials. Liquor, various bronze utensils, these things, the more people need them, and the more people have them, in addition to a small amount of gold, the rest have a lot of All kinds of materials. Rhinoceros hide, ivory, and various wood resources. These are rare things that are not available in the Central Plains countries." Zhang Liang said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.

"Just one trade is enough to get more benefits." Meng Yi said.

"So colony." Meng Yi continued.

"The colonies are mainly Chu people. The Chu people established a series of colonies along the coastal line. These colonies were only established on the coastline and did not develop inland. The original purpose of these colonies was said to be just to escape. The country of Chu has high taxes, but nowadays, the colony has become a bridgehead for Chu's development inland. Merchants of the Kingdom of Chu are actively using the colony as a trading post, and they carry out various trades. The slave trade, as well as with the natives. The Vietnamese trade and so on." Zhang Liang truthfully explained the situation of Chu's establishment of colonies overseas. In the long run, these colonies pose a great threat to South Korea’s trade. The trading post established by the Chu Kingdom can go deep inland for development. Moreover, there are many commodities in the Chu colony that conflict with South Korea's trade. Although South Korea tried its best to avoid it, the commonality of trade between the two countries is inevitable. The most important point is that the handicraft workshops that are emerging in Chu are completely capable of replacing Korean products. Korean goods are inaccessible in certain colonies. The colonial market is not open to Korea. South Korea needs to open the other side's market, so it is bound to allow the other side to open up the market by itself.

"It seems that the situation overseas is more complicated than we thought." Meng Yi did not publish any specific information. Because there are some situations they don't know. For example, the development of overseas colonies, they don't know how many colonies Chu and South Korea have established, and how much profit these colonies can bring to these countries. Qin Guo believes that it is not too late to make a decision after investigating the opponent's situation in advance.

Qi State Linzi outside the city.

"I don't know, who is your lord?" A general of Chu State with a Eight-character Hu raised his head and said at this time. The general of the Chu army looked extremely proud. This is of course, because they received a letter from Qi.

"It's true that it is the Prime Minister of Qi State. Later wins." Hou Sheng said respectfully.

"Ah. Oh." The general looked at the opponent in surprise. He didn't expect that such a big official would appear on the other side. If one's own side kidnapped the other party. This Qi country is really over.

"Please also ask the army to take care of my King Qi. These are just small gratitudes." As he said, the victory signaled an attendant to deliver a package.

"This." The general immediately greeted with a smile. Then the results in person, the general felt very heavy, it seems that Qi Guo did not give little benefit.

"This is of course, this is of course." General Chu Jun said with a smile.

"It's just that, this matter, I don't know how your army can solve it?" Hou Sheng asked worriedly.

"This matter has already been reported to my king for a decision. In a few days, there will be results." General Chu Jun said with a smile.

"This." Hou Sheng shook his head.

"This time can't be delayed for too long." Hou Sheng said annoyedly. General Chu Jun just looked at his package, he wanted to know how much gold and silver there was in the package.

But after winning, it was extremely troublesome. The source of power in the hands of the winner is controlled by Chu Jun. This is very unfavorable for him. If King Qi loses, his power will be emptied. So the most important thing for him now is to get King Qi back. Otherwise, the problem will be big.

Because Linzi was surrounded by the Chu army, the situation here was temporarily blocked. The news has not spread yet. This is still more favorable to the later victory.

"Drive. Drive." A Chu army cavalry quickly marched northward. He is a messenger. He wants to reach Linzi City in Qi State quickly. Tell the Chu army surrounding Linzi the result of the discussion by the nobles of the Chu Kingdom, and let them proceed according to the letter.

The idea of ​​the nobles of Chu State was that since the opponent's King Qi had been captured, the war would not have to go on. They planned to use King Qi to blackmail a sum of money severely, and let them make up for the loss, and then give up.

However, some nobles believed that if King Qi was in hand, he should have more land. But everyone's opinion is unanimous, that is, their losses must be paid by the people of Qi.

"DaDaDa." The sound of horseshoes kept coming closer from far to near.

"Mother. A Chu army can do it so rampantly." A guerrilla on guard cursed.

"It's not easy to handle. This horse is difficult to fight." Another older guerrilla guarding guard said.

Because of the sentry relationship, both of them have muskets.

"I want to try it. No. You just put a shot on the side." As he said, the guerrilla quickly got up with his weapon and ran to the middle of the road, then raised his musket and waited for the horse to arrive. .

"Hey. This kid." The old guerrilla reluctantly opened the fire door to take aim. Can you stop the opponent. He himself has no bottom. After all, this musket is difficult to master. Within thirty steps, his bullet can hit the target, even if it is good.

"Disperse. Heavenly Qi nationality." Seeing a Qi nationality squatting on the ground. The Chu Army soldier shouted loudly. However, when he got closer, he felt bad. Because he saw that Qi countryman was aiming at him holding a musket.

"Ah." The Chu Army soldier yelled in panic.

"Bang." There was a clear gunshot. Thick gunpowder smoke sprayed out.

"Huhu." The horse screamed sharply.

"Bang." Then there was another gunshot. Another bullet came from the side.

"Forgiveness. Forgiveness." The Chu army soldier lay on the ground at this moment and raised his arms and shouted loudly.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I'm just a messenger. A messenger." The Chu Army soldier shouted.

"Mother. Call again. I'll kill you." Qi State guerrilla soldier raised his bayonet musket and shouted loudly.

"Yes. Yes. I don't call. I don't call. But don't kill me." The Chu Army soldiers looked at each other in horror. His horse is dead.

"Damn it." The guerrillas shouted loudly. The old guerrilla stepped forward.

"Look, what's on it?" the guerrilla member shouted.

"Okay." The old guerrilla member stepped forward and started searching.

"Just some food and some drinks." The old guerrilla member opened the skin.

"His mother. It's water, not wine. Bah. Bah." The guerrilla member scolded.

"What are you eating? It's terrible." The guerrilla member cursed.

"There isn't even a valuable thing on him." The guerrilla team members began to search. When the Qi guerrillas were on guard, they actually intercepted the soldiers who were not alone in the Chu Army. They often got something they wanted from the Chu Army soldiers.

"What is this?" The old guerrilla saw the rucksack on Chu Jun's body and immediately snatched it.

"This. No way. This is, this is." The Chu Army soldier shouted loudly.

"A broken letter." The old guerrilla member looked at the bamboo slip and said. Although paper has become popular to a certain extent, Chu State still uses bamboo slips.

"Huh." This time. The soldiers of the Chu Army breathed a sigh of relief.

"No. There is a problem with this letter." The guerrilla holding guns immediately shouted after seeing Chu Jun's expression.

"Yeah. Say, who wrote this letter. Say it quickly. If you don't tell, we will kill you." The old guerrilla shouted loudly.

"Hurry up," the old guerrilla shouted loudly.
