The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Da da da." Just when Xi Zi and Da Huo were talking to each other. Several cavalrymen appeared in the distance.

"Cavalry. There are cavalry." The bearded told Xizi alertly.

"Don't panic, don't panic. With these cavalry, we can find the Huns' tribe. Let's wait a while and don't fight them." Xizi said calmly.

"They won't kill us, you know we only have two people." Bearded said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, you will die." Xizi said. In fact, he was also worried, because these Huns have always been rebellious, they can kill them and rob them of their property, so that they will have nothing.

"Da da da." The cavalry in the distance gradually approached. Xizi saw that it was indeed the Huns cavalry. The Huns cavalry watched them vigilantly. They divided into two teams to outflank them. One was to check if there were other people, and the other was that Xizi and Big Beard had nowhere to go back. But Xizi has decided not to step back. Instead, he calmed down and waited quietly for the approach of the Xiongnu cavalry.

Gradually, the Huns cavalry approached. The Huns cavalry did not resort to extreme measures against the two men, because there were only two men, and the Huns had not been frightened by the two men.

"Come down." While Xi Zi was waiting, a Huns actually spoke to them in Chinese.

"We are just businessmen. Come here to do business." Xizi said calmly.

"Come down." As he said, a Huns already waved his hand. The two Huns quickly stepped forward, pulled Xizi and Beard off their horses, and then tied them up.

"Go." The Huns ordered, and then the Huns drove Xizi and the bearded horse team, dragging the two toward the Huns' tribe.

After walking for a long time. Xi Zi and Da Huo came to a Hun tribe. This Hun tribe has a large number of people, about 2,000 people, and there are many cattle and sheep. Da Na is a bit dilapidated. Because there are still tribal people living in dilapidated tents. As soon as the two of them entered the tribe, a large number of Huns surrounded them. They did not look at themselves, but saw a large number of commodities. These were commodities from the Qin Kingdom. They are all things they desperately need, iron pots, salt, tea, and various clothing for heating. These things are good things for these Huns.

The Huns unloaded all the things of this horse team, and the Huns surrounded them, and some soldiers like soldiers were guarding these things.

Xizi looked at these Huns. He thought it might be right this time. Because the Huns are very lack of these things, otherwise it would not have happened.

"You, people of Qin, go in." As they said, a thick Huns said to them. Then two soldiers pushed them into a camp.

Xizi and Big Beard entered a camp like this.

"Who are you?" In the camp, a middle-aged Huns asked loudly.

Xizi looked around to see the situation clearly, with a leader in the middle. With a beard, on both sides are his generals or people like a little head, they are all drinking mare cumin, and there is a roasted whole lamb on the campfire in the middle.

"We are merchants. We can sell these goods to you who come here to do business." Xizi said calmly.

"Hahaha. Haha." Hearing these words, the tribe leader sitting in the center laughed first.

The little leaders of other tribes also laughed.

"Is it funny?" Xizi asked timidly. The big beard on the side was a little scared.

"Funny." The middle-aged tribal leader stood up and said to Xizi admiringly.

"What's your name?" the leader asked.

"Others call me Xizi." Xizi replied.

"En. You have the courage, I don't know why you are so stupid." The leader said to Xizi.

"It's not me who is stupid, the leader, it's you." Xizi said to the leader.

"Haha." The leader laughed.

"Your goods were snatched by us. At this time, we said that we would sell it to us, and we have no money. What can you do with us?" At this time, the leader asked Xizi.

"What to do? There are ways." Xizi said.

"But, boss, it's really bad for you to do this," Xizi said.

"On the grassland, there is nothing. Your grassland needs our Qin people's goods, and our Qin people's goods also need you to consume, but you must trade things for them." Xizi said.

"We don't change, and we don't have anything to change, we just grab it." A Huns group waved their arms to Xizi dissatisfied.

"If you are like this, you will suffer." Xizi said disdainfully.

"You can't beat the Qin army, and the Qin army is defending at the border. You can't break through. In this way, Qin's goods can't reach you, and you need a lot of Qin's goods, salt, tea, and various daily necessities. These You are all in short supply. The current situation is very unfavorable to you. Only our Qin merchants can meet your needs. If you kill us and rob us of our property, what will other merchants think?" Xizi asked the chief of the tribe.

"This." The tribe leader hesitated.

"You will get nothing." Xizi said.

"Without businessmen like us, you will lack more and more things, and then you tribesmen will be trapped alive. This is not a good thing for your tribe." Xizi said.

The tribe leader looked at Xizi and said.

"Although our businessmen are treacherous, they still rely on honesty in doing business. If you take our goods, it shows that our goods are in line with your appetite. Since they are in line, we should be paid for a long time so that we can proceed with the next sale. , You Huns will also get what you most want and need most." Xizi said.

Hearing this, the leader of the Xizi tribe also had to consider what Xizi said. On the grassland, although some people can **** the goods of the merchants, only crazy people will do such things. It is not bad to **** the goods of the merchants. It's because the merchants brought what they needed, especially the tea they brought recently. They found that the demand for tea is increasing, and only these merchants can have tea. The goods brought by the merchants are what the prairie people need most. Therefore, the prairie people respect the merchants. Under normal circumstances, they rarely encounter the looting of the merchants' goods, because if you do so, you will lose such stable goods to return. . But the situation of the Huns is already very bad now, and such things are gradually increasing. When they know it is absolutely unfavorable to go on like this. Some old rules still have to be followed.

"Relax. Give them some meat and wine." The leader nodded at this time and said to the person on the side.

"This." Some tribal generals were dissatisfied. They think that the record has already robbed the merchant’s goods, so they should rob them directly, regardless of this, but the tribe leader believes that if such a long-term development continues, the Huns will eventually perish. This is extremely for the Huns. Adverse.

In recent years, the situation of the Huns has become increasingly unfavorable, especially after the Qin State occupied a large area of ​​grassland. The Huns, cattle, sheep, and flattery can exchange less and less things, which puts the Huns at a disadvantage in trade, which is also the inducement that caused the Huns to **** the merchants' property. In fact, this is the result of similar competition between the traded products of the two countries. Because Qin also had a large number of cattle and sheep, their cattle and sheep could not be consumed quickly, let alone a large number of Huns' cattle and sheep.

"Thanks to the leader. But the leader, there is one more thing I want to say," Xizi said to the leader who turned around. And the big beard on the side became interested in mare kumiss and barbecue. Because he knows that with Xizi, he can do everything well.

"What's the matter?" The leader stopped and turned around and asked.

"It's doing business. We will also provide these goods to the leader. The leader can rest assured." Xizi said boldly. Hearing this, some tribal generals were surprised. They didn't expect that the other party would say such a thing, and if that was the case, it would be too beneficial to them. With the goods of the Qin people, they can do a lot of things, especially tea and salt, which can make the whole tribe rich.

"This, why?" the tribe leader asked first, calming down. Because he knew that the people of Qin never did anything cheap for the Huns. Although this thing sounds good. However, he still felt that it was too cheap for himself.

"Because we want to make a fortune." Xizi said bluntly.

Speaking of Xizi, he began to take out newspapers from his pockets, and the leader's men saw the tribe leader who thought Xizi was going to kill him at this time, so they took up their own weapons and prepared to kill the other party.

"En." At this time, the leader raised his hand to signal, don't act rashly.

"Chief, this is a newspaper of Qin State." At this time Xizi took out a newspaper and handed it to the leader.

At this time, the leader shook his head and pushed to the opponent with his hand.

"I only know some of your Qin national dialects, but I don't recognize many Qin national characters." The leader said.

"Oh. So." Xizi was surprised.

"That way, let me explain to the leader." Xizi said at this time

"En. Okay. Let's talk." The leader asked with interest.

"That's it. The newspaper said that Qin allowed the people of Qin to recruit armed men through commerce and trade. However, the population of Qin is now relatively tight. Therefore, the cost of recruiting personnel is more expensive." Xizi said directly. The reason why Xizi is so frank is because the Huns like this frankness. If they can be frank, they can get more help.

"En." The leader nodded. With a gratitude. Indicates to continue.

"The State of Qin is now actively expanding trade, especially in the Western Regions. Qin State has gathered a large number of armed forces in the Western Regions. These armed forces are all from trading companies. On the one hand, they can **** the spoils and open the market. To do business, however, opening up the market requires a large number of armed personnel, the two of us." Xizi pointed to Big Beard.

"We also want to make such a fortune, so we have come to do this kind of business." Xizi said with a smile. The leader looked at each other, thinking that what the other party was saying was true.

"Don't worry, boss, we will continue to supply you with your goods, and we will give you all the things you need." Xizi continued.

"As a reward, you only need to give us the Xiongnu warriors to expand as our armed forces." Xizi said.

At this moment, the two men on the side were saying something in Hun language. After hearing this, a sturdy Hun rushed out with his weapon, and then grabbed Xizi by the collar. The other hand is about to hold a knife and kill Xizi.

"Retreat." The leader stood up and pushed his subordinates away.

"Give me all of them." The leader stood up and shouted loudly.

In order to let Xizi understand what he was talking about, the leader deliberately used Qin's dialect.

One of the subordinates on the side explained it, and some of the subordinates said something dissatisfied. Although the other party spoke the Huns dialect, Xizi understood that they didn't like herself.

"Sir, continue talking." The leader said politely.

"The leader, don't worry. In the expansion of the Western Regions, you and I will divide the spoils you get, and you will definitely not treat you badly." Xizi continued.

"En." The leader nodded.

"It's just that if I do this, how can I trust you?" the leader continued.

"This, I have already shipped the goods. This is already a great sincerity. If you don't believe me, the leader can choose 20 people to follow me to the Western Regions. If you go to the Western Regions, you can take it away first." Xizi said.

"The leader, it's just a good way that Qin people came up with." Xizi continued.

"Currently, the Xiongnu tribe lacks too many things. Your cattle and sheep, Qin State, your horses, and Qin State also have them, but you need a lot of things, such as salt, tea, warm clothes, cloth, and all kinds of things. Boots and so on, especially iron, your weapons, these things you all lack, and there are many of these things in Qin, but you can’t **** them. Even if they can **** us merchants, how many merchants will let you? Robbery." Xizi continued. The leader nodded, this is a fact.

"Take your cattle, sheep and horses, and you get fewer and fewer things. Even if there is a leather business, the competition for leather goods is extremely fierce." Xizi said.

"These are all because of the large number of grasslands in Qin. Qin also has the same products." Xizi analyzed. Although the leader was said to be in pain and the loss of a large amount of grassland made the Huns feel very painful, this is also a fact. The Huns were driven to the depths of the desert, and their survival became a difficult task. What will become of the Huns in this situation? This made him feel very confused.

"If you continue to do business with you Huns, the Huns will suffer too much, and they will inevitably feel unbalanced. If this goes on for a long time, it will inevitably be detrimental to the Huns, and it will be difficult for the Huns to go south because the Qin people have built a fairly long defensive front." Xizi said.

The Huns also had to nod their heads. This is indeed a fact. Qin has arranged a lot of barbed wire and landmines. Such defensive tools are much easier to use than the Great Wall and are extremely simple and lethal. The Huns are doing this. It is difficult to break through under the blockade. So the Huns entered their darkest period of time.

Cannibalism, there are so many pastures, cattle, sheep, horses, and the Huns are in extremely miserable conditions. This is also an important reason why the tribal leader decides to change.

"So, what the Huns currently have is a large number of Huns warriors. With these warriors, you can not only go to the Western Regions to grab more spoils, but you can also get Qin's salt, canned food, tea, clothes, and cloth. Boots, iron, weapons and other materials, these things are things that you can't even think about." Xizi said at this time.

Compared with the things that the Huns obtained, these things have a lot to Qin, but the Huns don’t have money and don’t have more things to exchange. This makes the Qin’s northern border trade into a difficult situation, but the solution is always Yes, the Huns are warlike, unruly, and riders on the grassland. They are the best cavalry fighters. With a little armed, they are a rare military force.

And this is the strength of the Huns. Without these Huns, trade would be difficult to start. For the Huns, it would be a waste of resources.

"Not only are there trophies, but there are also a lot of materials available. This kind of thing is a good thing for the Huns, and I can also get more benefits through the leader of the Huns. This is a big business. A big business is a good thing for you and me." Xizi went on to say.

"En." At this time, the leader was thinking about this matter seriously. He fell into a long time of thinking. The persuasion Xizi said a lot, but gradually he stopped. He felt that the right to decide should be left to the leader himself.

But the leader is still thinking about these things Xizi said. This is indeed the case. What else does the Xiongnu have? He just became the leader of the tribe six months ago, because they were a big tribe before, but because of a military Failure will become like this. He dreams about Qin’s weapons and various materials. When these things are not easy to obtain, it takes a lot of cattle, sheep and horses to get them. These things are all of them. What this defeated tribe cannot bear. Therefore, tribal leaders need another way to strengthen their tribe, and this method proposed by Xizi can solve tribal problems to a large extent, and at the same time, they can bear such a range.

"Sir, I agree with you, but I need to gather my tribe to explain this matter. I need some time." The tribe chief said.

"Okay." Xizi said excitedly. For him, this is a kind of success. Because he has gained the trust and recognition of the Xiongnu tribe, there will be more Xiongnu warriors in his hands next, and he will get more with these armed forces.

Qin State Xianyang. Wenyang Bank headquarters.

"The price of gold started to rise today and then fell. It once fell to the position of 381 gold in the intraday market. It started to rise in the afternoon, and the price rose extremely smoothly. At the end of the market, it was still stable at 400 gold. However. It's only a little more than 400 gold, 401 gold." Lu Zhi reported to Yingyu.

"En. It seems that Zhao's gold demand is still relatively strong." Lu Fei said.

"Yes, Chairman, Zhao State has a lot of banknotes, and those with a lot of banknotes will depreciate." Lu Fei reported.

"En." Yingyu nodded. She was a little surprised that gold did not fall today, but she knew that the future would fall.

"Then, Prime Minister's Mansion, is there any situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Ying Yu asked at this time.

"No. There is no news from the Prime Minister's Mansion." Lu Fei replied.

"Oh." Yingyu was a little disappointed. She didn't know what Shangwen was doing, but there should be some actions at this time. Didn't he think of a good way, Yingyu became a little worried.

Inside Shang Wen's office.

"Yes, to help the Zhao government issue government bonds, this is my method." Shang Wen said to his finance minister. Because the Minister of Finance was worried that the issuance of Zhao government bonds would affect the issuance of Qin government bonds, he came to persuade Shang Wen to abandon such a plan.

"Why?" the Minister of Finance asked Shangwen.

"Because Zhao Guo now has a large number of banknotes, these banknotes are all invested in gold, gold is under a lot of pressure." Shang Wen said.

"In a few days, we will sell some government gold reserves. Maybe this will make Zhao's gold price drop a bit." Shang Wen continued.

"The rise in gold is a suppression of paper money, which is absolutely detrimental to our Qin State's paper money system. The Minister of Finance should know what paper money means to Qin." Shang Wen said.

"And helping the Zhao government to issue bonds can divert part of the funds from this market. It's not just that." Shang Wen continued.

"In addition, we have thrown out gold reserves. Think about it. If there is less capital in the market, or if there is a place to avoid risks, gold will fall, so that the paper currency will become very strong, and Qin’s paper currency will be Stabilize this system." Shang Wen said.

"En. I understand." The Minister of Finance said.

"Allowing the Zhao government to issue bonds can also solve their huge financial funds." Shang Wen continued.

"Li Mu has been telegraphing that their financial funds are in difficulties. If they are like us and have a lot of financial funds, they can do a lot of infrastructure construction, such as building roads, railways, etc., so that they can also transfer part of the gold. Pressure is good for us. After all, the government can stimulate investment." Shang Wen said.

"Especially in terms of infrastructure construction, the Zhao government needs to do this. This can generate greater demand, which is of great benefit to us." Shang Wen continued.

"En. I understand." The Minister of Finance nodded.
