The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

When Prince Dan of the Kingdom of Yan set out, in order not to appear rushed, he asked Yan to send a telegram to Qin, so that Qin could be prepared.

Qin State Xianyang.

"It has only been a few days since the statement was issued. Yan Guo has already sent a telegram." As Meng Yi said, he handed the telegram in his hand to Shang Wen.

"What do you mean?" Shang Wen didn't know that Yan Guo also wanted to join, so he didn't know the content of the telegram, but Shang Wen quickly understood what Meng Yi meant after reading the telegram.

"It seems that the issuance of paper currency is a good thing. Qin's currency reform, paper currency reform is very effective." Shang Wen said with a smile.

But Meng Yi couldn't laugh.

"If Yan State is rashly added to it, it will have a great impact on Qin State's gold reserves. I am worried." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"Their exchange will have a huge impact, and Qin cannot cope with such an impact. Right?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yes." Meng Yi said.

"This is indeed the case. The current gold price is already very low. According to the current progress, our gold reserves already have a certain scale. This is to deal with Zhao Guo's situation. If Yan Guo suddenly joins in at this time, I am afraid that the situation will be the case. Not very good. So, our solution is to increase gold reserves." Shang Wen said.

"Just, where do you look for so much gold?" Meng Yi said.

“At present, there are only two places where gold is produced, and gold production is very limited. Even if mining is encouraged now, it is difficult to cope with it in a short time. In addition, after winter, spring comes, a large number of projects are started, our pressure is not Little." Meng Yi said.

"That's the problem." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

At present, the federal government of Qin has begun to secretly purchase gold from the market to form Qin’s gold reserves. The gold on the market has suddenly fallen a lot, and the price of gold has risen once, but fortunately, it will soon be available on the market in Qin. Some gold.

Whether Qin can cope with the current situation mainly depends on the situation of gold reserves. It's probably okay for Qin State to deal with a Zhao State, but it is not that there is no such possibility, but that it is too possible for Yan Guo to join in hastily. What would they think when Yan Guo saw that his neighbor Zhao Guo joined the banknote group? Shang Wen asked inwardly. They may also join in anxiously. If this is the case, Qin may have another situation to face when dealing with a Zhao State exchange situation. This situation is Yan State, the pressure of the two countries, whether Qin State's gold reserves can be overwhelmed. Shang Wen really didn't count,

Qi State.

"I know, you all have a lack of funds." Tian Heng said as he walked back and forth in the camp. On both sides of the account, the doormen, counsellors, and generals are divided into left and right. They all want to know how their lord can solve this problem.

"I know this difficulty too." Tian Heng continued.

"So, I thought of a way to solve this problem." Tian Heng said.

"Dare to ask the lord, what is the way?" a general asked in a salute.

"Don't worry." Tian Heng waved his hand and said.

"Qi State currently has a gold producing area. The quality of gold here is fairly average. It can meet the needs of trade goods." Tian Heng said.

"This gold is an important source of financial support for my Qi country. I am the master and lend you this gold. The period is one year. You can use the money to do business and build ships, and then you can return it in a year." Tian Heng said.

"Lord, it's not possible." Tian Heng thought that such a method could get everyone's support, but he didn't expect that some people would oppose it when it was just proposed. Sima in the army was the first to stand up and say it.

"My lord, the military spending is unpredictable. If the lord has loaned it out, if it is not returned, or other reasons lead to the use of military spending, I am afraid that we will be too late at that time." Sima in the military objected.

Hear here. Tian Heng was also a little reluctant in his heart. However, what Sima said in the army is indeed a fact.

"We have effective control, that's it." Tian Heng replied.

"Lord, no." Sima in the army objected again.

"Those gold is also stored. If it is not used, it is a kind of improper disposal of resources." Tian Heng said at this time.

"I think this is fine. What you said is also a situation, why don't you use one third?" Tian Heng thought for a while. I feel that this kind of situation may happen, and when I think of this, I make some compromises.

"Okay. It's okay." A doorman on the side whispered, grabbing Sima's clothes corner and said.

"This." Sima also had to agree. Putting a lot of gold here is not a solution. Fortunately, two-thirds, two-thirds are fine. Sima in the army can only secretly pray that no accidents will happen, and Tian Heng can also make his finances have a bank-like function to solve the current financial difficulties. The price of Qi State is to use their only gold reserves.

Zhao State of Handan.

"The Qin State issued banknotes and took those worthless torn papers in exchange for our rich things. The people of Qin State were obviously deceiving us." A middle-aged nobleman said dissatisfiedly.

"The prime minister has already explained the reason." A minister said with a cold glance at the nobleman. These nobles are all hereditary. They may have credit for the first and second generations. However, these nobles so far have no credit. Their insights are not as good as ordinary people. They will only oppose it, but they oppose it. They didn't know the reason for this. For such aristocrats, the ministers looked down upon them. Therefore, it was their ministers who played the main role in the meeting.

"Qin's banknotes can be exchanged with gold. In other words, gold is Qin's banknotes, and Qin's banknotes are gold." The minister had clearly seen this. And the other party thinks this point should be a point they can take advantage of.

"It's easy to say, they can use it as money if Qin State just picks up some torn paper." An aristocrat said dissatisfied.

"The banknotes of the State of Qin are linked to gold. In other words, they can buy gold with a certain amount of money," the minister said.

"Currently, Zhao State does not have enough gold to circulate. Especially in terms of currency. Zhao State's market circulation is extremely complicated, including Qin State banknotes, Zhao State knife coins, gold and so on. But these things circulate, There is a certain conversion. In this way, Zhao’s currency is completely confused. The prime minister still sees this. If Zhao wants to have a large financial income, he must do business with Qin and use Qin. Paper money must be the prime minister's first choice." The doctor said, touching his beard. For this. He also agrees that the current situation of Zhao Guo is a deadlock. It is difficult for anyone to give up. If it is difficult to give up, let the situation remain deadlocked. If such a long-term deadlock continues, it will definitely be detrimental to Zhao Guo. Under such circumstances, Li Mu Monetary reforms were made and the use of Qin's banknotes to revitalize Zhao's situation was a surprisingly successful strategy. Although some ministers and nobles objected, those knowledgeable ministers still believed that Li Mu was right to do this, and perhaps they could still do it themselves.

"What do you mean by the king?" the old patriarch of the nobleman asked the minister at this time.

"Perhaps it is the same. If there is no financial income for a long time, the king will not agree." A minister said.

"En. That's right. If the king has no money to spend, he will definitely stand on Li Mu's side. If we blindly object, it may make us uncomfortable." The patriarch said.

"What the old patriarch said," the ministers said. When other nobles saw this, they could only agree. For such a result, they have no choice, because the royal family's expenses have been reduced to a certain extent, the situation of the Zhao King's palace has been greatly restricted, and the overall state of Zhao's operation has also been greatly affected because of this. The situation, if it does not change, it will get worse and worse. At this time they had to make some changes. Under the pressure of royal spending, they had to make some changes.

"Dare to ask Mr. Xiao. How do we promote Qin's banknotes after we use it in Zhao? It is impossible for Qin to spend a lot of Qin's banknotes at once?" Li Mu thinks how to inject these banknotes into the market is the current one. Consider the problem.

"Bond." Xiao He replied.

"Bond?" Li Mu asked.

"En. I understand." Li Mu said.

"But if you do this, you just exchange a lot of funds for bonds. Zhao Guo has a certain amount of money." Li Mu said. Li Mu's concern is that Zhao Guo can obtain a large amount of paper money through issuing bonds. However, if this is done, the number of paper money may not be able to meet Zhao Guo's needs. This requires another method to proceed. .

"So, it's investment. I think the Qin government might think about this problem. They will solve these problems to solve the current investment problems." Xiao He said.

"Investment, investment requires a lot of funds. The problem is that Zhao Guo doesn't seem to have much funds yet." Li Mu said.

"What I mean is that there is not a single group in Zhao Guo's hands that has such a large amount of funds to concentrate on solving these problems." Li Mu meant that after the bond issuance, the government certainly has a certain amount of funds. However, to promote investment issues, a certain amount of funds is still required to be concentrated in the hands of a few people for effective investment. This is what Zhao Guo should do.

About this question. Xiao He thought about it, but he still didn't know what choice the Qin government would make.

In Xianyang of Qin State, Shang Wen and Meng Yi were walking along the Wei River.

"The possibility of Zhao Guo agreeing to issue paper money is very high." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Yes, therefore, we should be prepared at the moment. If a large amount of paper money is injected into this country, there is also a way to prevent their nobles from taking the opportunity to exchange a large amount of gold." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.

"However, I think we should find a way to inject a large amount of capital into it and guide them to invest. If they move back and forth, it will cause a lot of harm to us." Meng Yi proposed to Shang Wen.

"Yes. That's right. You reminded me of this." Shang Wen said.

"I think, how about using bonds?" Meng Yi said at this time.

"We can buy a large amount of Zhao State bonds, so that we become Zhao State's bond country, and a large amount of paper money can also enter Zhao State." Meng Yi said.

"To be precise, it should be the government of Zhao State." Shang Wen corrected.

"We buy the Zhao government bonds, which means to inject a lot of money into the Zhao government, and a large amount of paper money is concentrated in the hands of the Zhao government. In this case, the funds on the market are still very small." Shang Wen said.

"En. Think about it, it's the same, but if you don't do this, there won't be a lot of money injected." Meng Yi said.

"There is another method, which is the bank." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"Banks use mortgage loans to revitalize a large number of assets in the hands of nobles." Shang Wen said.

"In this way, a large amount of funds will enter the private market. Not only the nobles, but also a large number of Zhao merchants, they can do the same." Shang Wen said.

"When they have enough funds in their hands, they can invest and carry out commercial activities." Shang Wen said. In Shang Wen's view, the only way to complete a large number of banknote exchanges is through the bank, and the bank has enough banknotes in its hands, with a large number of banknotes, to invest. And if you revitalize it, you can make your next plan.

"What kind of investment activities can Zhao Guo develop rapidly and have huge potential." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"Before, we planned to let them build railways, but building railways requires more resources." Shangwen said.

"At present, a large number of resources of the State of Zhao are concentrated in the hands of a few nobles. How to exchange a large amount of assets from the hands of the nobles is the key." Shang Wen thought to say.

"Government investment, construction of railways, and expansion of demand, I think. Steel production is still the main direction." Shang Wen said.

"This is what we will guide from the beginning." Shang Wen said.

"Government bonds can be used for government investment, but the main thing is to conduct market guidance. Without these. I think it will be difficult for Zhao Guo to develop his own finances. The place Zhao Guo currently occupies has a lot of resources. Advantages, we are currently going to transform this resource advantage into their economic advantage. Single development of heavy industry." Shang Wen said.

"En." Meng Yi just gave a gratitude. This is in line with what Shangwen started at the beginning. This is also a plan formulated by Shangwen based on Zhao’s current situation. In Zhao’s territory, there are a large amount of coal and iron ore resources. If you invest in steel plants and then build railways, you will If the construction materials are transported out, this can bring a lot of profits.

Shangwen plans to exchange assets in the hands of nobles for a large amount of paper money, and then encourage those nobles to invest. Invest in steel production. In the foreseeable future, all countries will build a large number of railways, highways, and various buildings that require a large amount of construction materials. These building materials are what Qin needs most.

The territory of Wei State.

"Qin Guo's telegram still has no reply." Chen Yu said to Zhang Er. The original idea was that Qin could purchase the land of Wei so that Wei would have the funds to expand his own armed forces. However, as far as the situation is concerned, the situation is obviously not so good. Qin Guo did not reply to the telegram, which may have meant that Qin had no intention of buying.

And in other Wei states. The militia began an orderly ambush counterattack. In order to expand the labor force, South Korea asked Wei to rescue more Wei people into the Wei refugee camp. Under such a request, the Wei National Soldiers actively attacked, and they used ambushes to eliminate the Wei army in an orderly manner. This caused a great cost of casualties for Wei Jun.

Western Regions, a camp outpost of the Qin Army.

"Huh." The cold wind kept blowing. In such cold weather, the soldiers of the Qin Army must come out and stand guard. Only by standing guard can they be alert to the occurrence of various situations.

"Who?" A sentry noticed movement ahead and shouted loudly. Then pull the bolt.

"I, I'm a businessman." A caravan gradually appeared in the distance. Camels followed closely behind. A Qin countryman waved his arm.

"I found a corpse." The Qin countryman shouted loudly.

Hear such a voice. The soldiers of the Qin Army didn't know what to do.

"If you find a corpse, if it has anything to do with them, it can be handed over to the local government for assistance. Or it is a registration or something. Such things happen from time to time. Why are you looking for them?

"Wait." The soldier called up impatiently. Under the above instructions, the soldiers of the Qin Army dealt with this matter.

"Okay, put these corpses here, I'll find someone to bury him." The soldier in Qin Jun thought that he had received an unfortunate incident.

"Also, this." As he said, the merchant handed the soldier a book.

"We found this." The businessman said to the Qin Army soldier.

"There are a lot of written content in it, which seems very important, because it has your Qin Jun's confidential stamp." said the businessman.

"What?" The soldier didn't absorb it, and the other party had such a discovery.

"I don't know if this is a soldier of your Qin army, so we brought it," the businessman said.

"Oh." The soldier didn't know what to say.

"This person, we found it on the road. The snow is all covered." The businessman continued.

"We looked at the things we carried and found this. Maybe it was Qin Jun. So, I found it," the businessman said. After the businessman finished speaking, he walked away. The soldier did not expect that he would encounter such a thing, so after the soldier was laid off, he gave the book to their chief. When their chief looked through the contents of these books, he noticed important things. It was quickly reported to their staff.

After seeing such a report, the General Staff immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"This should be the information sent by the special team, because no one has recorded these things." The intelligence staff found Wang Ben to explain the situation in detail.

"When the special team was in action, they didn't have anything to record their identity at all." The intelligence staff continued.

"Judging from the content of the telegram sent, it is also the accident of our western plateau, and these areas are the areas where our special team operates." The intelligence staff said.

"What is recorded on it?" Wang Ben asked.

"Many. Many things we don't know about, Wusun people, Yue people, and various small states in the Western Regions. They are all backlogged in the mountainous areas of the western plateau. In addition, the situation in the south and north of the mountain is also explained in detail. These are the things we most want to know above." The intelligence staff said.

"Okay. Get the report they got right away. Send it to the Xianyang General Staff and report the situation here to Xianyang. Let them know about the situation here." Wang Ben decided.

The Wuzhong area of ​​Chu State.

"If you take a boat now, it is very risky." An old ship's bow said to a young man from Chu State.

"The wind direction is wrong, it is northwest wind, it is difficult to move forward." Moreover, if you move along the coast, there will be many hidden reefs. At this time, some ports in the north will also freeze. freeze. This situation is too bad. "The old ship's bow said.

"Can you go?" At this moment, the young man asked.

"It's not easy to go. If you want to go, you have to have money." The old bow said.

"The way you want to go, only I can go." The other party said.

"Okay. Let me think about it." The young man waved, then turned and left.

The young man’s idea is simple, it is to sell a lot of cheap silk here to the north. This way he can make a fortune.

However, there are two roads to the north. By land, it takes a long time, and it also takes a lot of time. There are also great accidents along the way. The bandits along the way, the tax checkpoints of the nobles, and the war in the Wei state are all very unfavorable. Under such circumstances, one can only choose to go by sea, but sea routes are very risky. Young people need to hire an experienced ship to transport a whole ship of silk to the north.

However, the counterparty is obviously a means to increase the price. In order to raise this batch of goods, young people have already borrowed a lot of money, and a lot of money cannot be borrowed. At this time, there is no money to continue.

"No money. Damn. Really no money." The young man sighed as he walked on the road. Shipping silk to the north is a considerable business. But the transportation problem cannot be solved.

Just when young people feel desperate. A team of Korean-branded carriages passed in front of him.

"Korea." The young man thought of a point at this time.

"Yes. Korea." The young man said to himself. He thought of using South Korean merchant ships, South Korean merchant ships, and the transportation capacity of South Korean merchant ships could be improved a lot, and their transportation capacity was also very large. Thinking of this, the young man thought of a way. So he quickly searched for the Korean horse team. Through this, they can find the merchant ship they want.
