The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

From Changsha City along the Xiangjiang River into the Yangtze River, and then upstream to reach Beigang of Qin State, so these people can enter Qin State. Follow the railway and follow the railway to reach Qin quickly.

Xiang Liang believes that this can only be done. You must know that the number of these mobs will increase. Who knows if there will be as many as 100,000 people in the future. If so many people choose to travel by land to Qin, the distance they will travel , And the various supplies provided along the way will be very large, and it is difficult to say whether such a large number of people can arrive in time. Waterway is the only good way to reduce the trip.

North of Qin State.

"If your tribe wants to continue to maintain such a large supply of supplies, it can only gather on the spot and provide more soldiers. The people of your tribe must do some work." A businessman said.

"What can they do? We depend on Qin and rely on Qin's protection to survive." said the tribal chief.

"We people don't know anything, we only graze, and grazing is the only thing we do." said the tribal chief.

"En. If you open a mine, or work hard, will you?" the merchant asked.

"This." The tribe leader hesitated. He didn't know what the businessman meant by this.

"Our people can only graze." The tribe chief said.

"Oh." The businessman nodded.

"I see." The merchant said to the tribe leader. Then left. The tribe leader watched the merchant leave. The merchant provided them with a lot of supplies, and a lot of goods were bought from him. They had never used these things before, such as good tea, blankets, and some weapons. They were all things they couldn't even think of before, but as the transaction progressed. The tribe can trade less and less things. Their leather is very low, and sometimes it takes a hundred sheepskins in exchange for a pound of tea from the State of Qin. Such a huge contrast makes the situation of the tribe worse and worse.

In order to make up for such shortcomings, they had to send their own tribe to serve as the commercial armed forces of the people of Qin. However, this still cannot meet the needs of the people of Qin. The tribe has only more than 500 people, and the number of combat soldiers that can be provided is very limited. If all these soldiers are given to the people of Qin, what will happen to them? The tribal leader is in this consideration and needs to retain a certain number of personnel to defend the tribe, but the current situation is not good for the implementation of their ministry.

"Now more and more tribes are attached, but the situation of the tribe is very bad." A middle-aged man said while standing on the Qin State security guard building with a teacup.

As the first non-Huns tribe escaped from the control of the Huns and arrived outside the Qin people’s control area, more and more tribes came to seek refuge. As soon as they took refuge, they did business with the people of Qin. The people of Qin depended on these businesses and made use of huge The trade gap has absorbed the wealth of these tribes. If these tribes have no value, then it is not too late to deal with them.

"Yes, these poor clanging tribes don't have much oil and water. If they gather in this way, I think we would simply drag them all into the big ditch to the east, set up machine guns and slaughter them all." A Lieutenant Colonel Qin Jun said impatiently.

"It's too simple to do this," the middle-aged businessman asked.

"These tribes can only send troops. Who knows if these soldiers can make a profit? You said, accepting these tribes can make a profit. Up to now, we have invested a lot of money and borrowed a lot from the bank. Now even one I haven't seen any cents," the lieutenant colonel said angrily.

Hearing this, the middle-aged businessman frowned and was very dissatisfied with the words of the lieutenant colonel. There is commercial cooperation between the lieutenant colonel and the middle-aged businessmen. Once the Qin Army’s defense line is fixed, the emotions of the officers and soldiers will be difficult to stabilize, because once the main battle is over, the officers and soldiers’ salaries will return to their original status. There is no other source of loot income, and there is no opportunity for promotion. Soldiers can only show the role of the district when they fight. If there is no war, they will be useless.

Therefore, some border officers and soldiers began to take the initiative to cooperate with businessmen, they specialize in this border trade. They use the method of joint stock ownership to do business in partnership with businessmen. This is the source of these officers and soldiers. In order to gather funds, officers and soldiers in some areas have also adopted self-raising to join in. It can be said that there is a direct causal relationship between the quality of border trade and the income of officers and soldiers.

"Now the Western Regions have just begun, and it is impossible to get a lot of profits all at once. Doing business depends on the long-term." said the middle-aged businessman.

"In the long run, we won't be without profits for such a long time. Many brothers have taken out their monthly military pay." The lieutenant colonel said to the middle-aged businessman.

"En. I understand this. You all want to make some money. But this business can't be so anxious. At present, we should look at the long-term." The middle-aged businessman said.

"The East Mongolia State Assembly also discussed how to deal with the issue of the Northern Huns a few days ago. Those congressmen can finally do something practical. They came up with the idea of ​​letting those tribes settle down and using these people to provide labor. Not only these, but also Provide the sales market for our products.” said the middle-aged businessman. And none of these lieutenant colonels could listen.

"The most important thing is that we have to explore the northern area. If there are a lot of minerals, I think this is a good thing for us. With minerals, we can build a large number of steel plants, coal mines, Iron ore, these are important raw materials for the construction of minerals." The middle-aged businessman said.

"Currently we need profit. These **** tribes earn too little money." said the lieutenant colonel.

"En. Let me figure out how to do this." The middle-aged businessman nodded and said. The thinking of soldiers is different from that of businessmen. Soldiers hope to make quick profits, while businessmen hope to make long-term profits, because the short-term profits are far from enough for the businessmen to win longer-term benefits.

Although the idea put forward by ASEAN states is very good. But in practice, there are great difficulties. This difficulty comes from the trade gap between the two sides. With the progress of this trade gap, the tribe’s economy will become more and more fragile and their independence will be reduced. worse and worse. Can only rely on a certain natural advantage.

Qin State Xianyang.

"Zhao Guo's royal family's steel funds have almost been raised. The factory is also under construction, and a large number of iron smelting plants will appear soon." Meng Yi said.

"En. The royal family's iron and steel is first smelted and transported to Qin State for steelmaking. After a certain degree, we will build the steel plant in Zhao State and spread it to Zhao State." Shang Wen said.

"En. I have already laid out this point." Meng Yi said.

"However, domestic. The domestic situation is not very good. We currently have relatively few steel production places, mainly in Xianyang, northern Guyang, Taiyuan, and Shangdang counties that have just emerged." Meng Yi Speaking of.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"Shangdang County Steel and Handan Steel have some impact." Shang Wen said.

"However, we are still mainly targeting the two markets in Wei, South Korea. Let the markets of Yan and Zhao go out, and for the Qi market, it depends on the Koreans." Shang Wen said.

"Domestic. A Guyang Iron and Steel Plant in the north obviously can't meet the production in the north. In addition, there are the entire Western Regions. It needs two steel plants to produce together.

"Yes, it's not just these. These all need to be expanded. If the scale cannot be expanded, the production capacity will still not be improved." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

At present, Qin State needs a lot of building materials such as steel and cement, and the demand for these building materials is extremely strong. The production scale of these factories will be expanded a lot.

"How about Zhao Guo's bond issuance?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"It's not clear. It's not clear how Wenyang Bank is doing this. It's not clear enough," Meng Yi said.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"Does the Zhao government have enough funds to carry out public infrastructure construction, especially the construction of railways? I think it will take some time." Shang Wen estimated it.

"In this case, it would be a little disadvantageous for us." Meng Yi said.

"Yes, so, their construction needs our financial support, and they also need to have a certain ability to repay our debts." Shang Wen said.

"This matter is a bit early. Let's do it. Anyway, our bank also has a certain degree of cooperation with them." Shang Wen said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.

The development of the State of Zhao, especially the construction of a large number of railways and factories, requires a large amount of funds. Such a large amount of funds needs the support of the State of Qin, because at present, only Qin State has such a large amount of funds. However, if Qin State blindly injects funds, it will have serious consequences. One day in the future, once Qin State withdraws funds from these places, they will die like white rats that drain the air. This is simply a disaster for everyone.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

"Your factory is not competitive at all. It is not justified not to be merged." A middle-aged Korean businessman put his feet on the table and said leisurely.

"This is my factory. When you talk about merging, then it is merged?" the owner of the Korean factory opposite asked at this time.

"Yes, don't you look at what other people are doing?" the middle-aged businessman said to the factory manager.

"A factory like yours can process some clothing and bedding at most, but how much can you sell for these things and how much can you make? I have the support of Qin people in my hands, and I and Qin people are cooperating, and now there are many factories in and With the support of Qin people, they can quickly get a large amount of funds. These funds are enough to allow us to annex your factories. Your factories are just a waste of one day." The middle-aged businessman said.

When the factory director heard this, he was stunned. He did not expect that the people of Qin would be like this.

"The price has been given very fair. If this continues, your factory will have no funds. It is impossible for your workers to survive. There are too few such things." said the middle-aged businessman.

As Qin State began to export capital. And the South Korean government liberalized factory mergers. The Korean companies that were in stagnant water were merged all at once. The South Korean factory that cooperated with Qin Guo quickly squeezed up after receiving a large amount of financial support. Acquired numerous Korean factories. The merger of these Korean factories will expand what they want to expand.

"You have to gather those people together. Give some simple training, and they have to learn how to process some parts." Li Ming said to the representative of the Korean factory who followed him.

"For some simple machine tools, they must be proficient. After mastering, we must conduct a unified assessment. After passing the test, they can be employed. If they are unqualified, they will be dismissed. There are many such workers." Li Ming arranged.

"This." A factory representative who followed hesitated.

"Is this too strict?" the factory representative still asked.

"Strict, this is just the beginning. Why is the production in Qin's factory so fast? What we need are skilled workers, not a bunch of waste. If it is waste, we don't want it." Li Ming said.

"Yes." The representative nodded. Korean factories have never conducted such training and production assessments. Qin’s management method makes Koreans very uncomfortable. Koreans have loose management methods. Each worker only needs to complete his own production plan. However, the Qin people do not limit the output, but strictly require the quality of the production. If the number of production is not enough, they will be dismissed. This is a new impact for the Koreans.

"Wei will also do the same, and we must pay attention to the production of bullets. Those are all gunpowder, and a little friction will cause a lot of casualties." Li Ming continued.

The Koreans in the back just recorded it, and then they didn't take it seriously. In their opinion, these Qin people would do a good job. They just need to do their own thing. For these things, these are things that the people of Qin have done themselves.

Qi State, coastal area.

"The northwest wind is strong, and there are fewer ships at anchor. The number of occasional arrivals is also very limited." Bin Hai Cheng said to Tian Heng from the side.

"En. If at this time, we can go southward along the wind to buy something, just like the silk we found before, the price of the silk in Chu is very cheap. If we can buy the shares, then we will change hands. We also made a lot of money by selling it to Wei, Zhao, and Yan." Tian Heng said.

"What the lord said is, but we don’t have so many boats. At present, they are all fishing boats. First, they can’t go far, even if they go far. They can’t carry much cargo. The ship built now has not yet been launched, and sailors sail. It's not enough, and it's easy to sink. We can't afford to lose something like this." Binhai Cheng said worriedly.

"En." Tian Heng nodded.

"This voyage is really not a simple thing." Tian Heng said.

"I heard that North Korea can, such as Goguryeo, and their ships can reach our Qi. Why can't our Qi ships reach them?" Tian Heng asked curiously.

"Master, some things have been weird lately, that is, there seems to be a lot less ships in Goguryeo in this North Korea, or they just stopped coming at all recently." Binhai Cheng reported.

"Oh. There is such a thing?" Tian Heng asked.

"Yes, lord. The ginseng imported from North Korea is a big source of money for us. If their ginseng can't come, it will seriously affect our income." Binhai Cheng said worriedly.

"Do you know the reason?" Tian Heng asked at this time.

"This, I don't know." Bin Hai Cheng shook his head. After the Korean ginseng came to Qi, they would exchange for a large amount of Qin firearms. These firearms were transferred to North Korea to make a lot of money. In order to resist the harassment of Qin’s commercial armed forces and the Yan army, muskets were the most useful weapons. But the consumption of bullets and gun parts is very serious. For this reason, countries such as North Korea and Goguryeo will send ships to Qi to purchase. Most of the weapons transferred from Qi are exported from here, and ginseng is sold to other countries. A lot of money, these are Qi's current fiscal revenue. But at present, North Korea did not send a ship, which was far beyond Qi's expectation.

"If these ships do not come, and the number of Korean ships docking is reduced, our Qi country's finances will be difficult." Tian Heng said worriedly, in order to revive Qi country's agriculture, Qi country reduced the agricultural tax. Many are not levied, and the main revenue of the finance is mining, mainly gold and commercial taxes, and commercial taxes mainly rely on commercial taxes in the coastal area.

"Master. I have an idea." Bin Hai Cheng said at this time.

"If you have any thoughts, let's hear it." Tian Heng asked.

"I think we still lack funds at the moment, or the ship would have been built long ago. People who are missing can be hired. I heard that many Koreans are learning shipbuilding and sailing. These are all hirable. The other is Boats can also be rented. The people of Qin are also building ships. Their ships are relatively cheap, but sailors can only be hired like this.” Binhai Cheng suggested.

"Where did you hear these things?" Tian Heng looked at Bin Hai Cheng strangely.

"These small ones are all heard from the Korean population. The Korean ships were man-made by Qin, and even the artillery was installed and trained by Qin." Binhai Cheng said.

"Korean people have been developing maritime careers in the past few years, and they have a lot of training for sailors. Therefore, they can hire some. However, if you do this, you will need a lot of money." Binhai Cheng said at this time.

"Yes. I know this too." Tian Heng heard this and understood one thing, that is, nothing can be done without money.

"We don't have money, we can't do these things without money." Tian Heng repeated.

"You and I don't know the situation of Qi State. What funds are available for Qi State after so many battles. If we hadn't thrown King Qi out, I'm afraid this expenditure would be even bigger." Tian Heng said.

"Master, there is one thing, I think I should say it." At this time, Bin Hai Cheng continued.

"Lord, do you think this money can be borrowed?" Binhai Cheng asked at this time.

"Borrow?" Tian Heng asked.

"Yes, borrow. With the people of Qin, I heard that Zhao's money was borrowed from Qin, and South Korea's money was also borrowed from Qin. Qin people are rich, and there is a lot of money." Binhai Cheng said.

"This." Tian Heng was a little worried.

"Qin State uses banknotes. Do we also use banknotes?" Tian Heng asked.

"Master, it can only be so." Binhai Cheng said.

"En. I think about it." Tian Heng lowered his head in thought. If things like borrowing money can be done, it can temporarily solve the funding problem, but is Qin's money so easy to borrow? Tian Heng is not sure about this, because the people of Qin are not a disadvantaged master, and they won't get it so easily.

"You said, is this Qin country's money easy to borrow?" Tian Heng asked Binhai Cheng at this time.

"This." Bin Hai Cheng shook his head at this time, saying that he was unclear.

Tian Heng began to think about the stakes.

If you borrow money, you can indeed solve this problem. The reason is simple. Qi Guo currently spends too much money. Shipbuilding, hiring crews, and navigation requires a lot of artillery. Qi State has sea areas, but Qi State does not have its own coastal defense or fleet. Maritime trade occupies a large part of Qi State’s finances, so it abandons overseas trade. As far as the country is concerned, the loss is too great.

"If Qin people borrow money, what's the harm?" Tian Heng asked at this time. And Bin Hai Cheng shook his head blankly.

"What will we get back then, and whether we can get a lot of profits from the maritime trade. If not, what will happen? It will be very disastrous." Tian Heng said at this time.

If Qin's money was borrowed, the situation would be very dangerous if he couldn't return a large amount of profit. If Qi didn't have the funds to return it, what would the people of Qin do, how would Qin's money be borrowed, and what mortgage would he hold. Thinking of this, Tian Heng kept shaking his head.

"I think we can give it a try. Discuss with the people of Qin. If we get in touch with things like this, we don't need to borrow more, and it's okay to borrow less," Tian Heng said.

Regarding Qin State’s borrowing of money, he didn’t know whether it was good or bad. The only way was to test. The only way to test was to borrow a small amount of money. Use Qin’s funds to give it a try and see what happened to Qiguo. How much impact. After all, there are many countries cooperating with the people of Qin, and it is not without problems that one more Qi country.

Think about it, South Korea, Zhao, and the newly established Northern Wei government are actively cooperating with Qin. Qin’s funds can bring prosperity, and the collection of commercial taxes can largely solve the financial crisis. For all countries, there is really a great temptation. Tian Heng also wanted to do this, so he decided to test it out to see what Qin State's reaction was and what pros and cons were there.
