The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin
Chapter 1929: Try to do business
"En." Shang Wen said at the National Security Conference. Yang Duanhe attended the meeting as a representative of the General Staff. National Security Advisors, Fan Zeng, Wei Liao, Meng Tian and others all attended and listened to Meng Tian’s reports on some new situations they received. Shang Wen just nodded, and didn't say anything.
"For the above-mentioned areas, especially the Yue people and Wusun people importing Qin weapons in large quantities, we think this situation should be taken seriously. If the Yue people live, they are Wusun people. If they are not facing us, they are facing South attack. Then we have to take advantage of this favorable situation to expand Qin's current control over the periphery of the Western Regions." Meng Tian said.
"The Qin Army doesn't have much force to use. The maximum force that can be invested in one regiment is already the limit." Yang Duanhe said to Meng Tian.
"En. I understand this. Our vision is to build on a regiment." Meng Tian said.
"You mean. The people of Yue and Wusun are not attacking us with a large number of imported weapons?" Shangwen asked Meng Tian at this time.
"Yes." Meng Tian replied.
"En. Tell me about the situation in Dawan Country. I already know the situation of the Yue family." Shang Wen said to Meng Tian. Regarding the massive import of weapons by the Yuezhi and Wusun people, Shangwen believes that the current state of Qin does not need to attract huge attention. The people of the Yue family, the people of Wusun, and they were already afraid of being beaten by the people of Qin. They did not dare to attack east, where the people of Qin were. And if they import so many weapons in large quantities, there is only one direction, to the south. There may be a civilized country to the west, or a nomadic tribal country, or a Persian country. Shangwen recalls history as much as possible, but there is still no information on the Iranian plateau that can be provided for Shangwen's reference.
"The situation over there is that a commercial armed force has been attacked recently. I am afraid that such things will happen again in the future. This is not good for our future commercial activities." Wei Liao said to Shangwen.
"En." Shang Wen nodded.
"Are there any problems elsewhere?" Shang Wen asked at this time.
"No, it's calm," Wei Liao said.
"En." Shang Wen nodded.
"I have some ideas." Shang Wen said.
"This is the most recent report. I have summarized some of it myself, and I think these may have a certain relationship with our future national defense security." As Shang Wen said, he handed some materials he had prepared to everyone.
Wei Liao took it over and looked. Others looked at the copy. After reading it, Wei Liao looked up at Shang Wen.
"This. I don't know what this means?" Wei Liao looked at Shang Wen.
"These are things that Qin State may pay attention to in the future. I think you have some misunderstandings on security issues." Shangwen explained.
"What do you mean?" Meng Tian put down the report in his hand and asked Shangwen.
"Our commercial forces are not a large-scale invasion, not a simple military operation. Our purpose is to develop the local market, not participate in it, and use military means to solve all problems. And I found that military operations in the Western Regions, In particular, the military operations of Dawan may have deviated from the goal we expected." Shangwen said.
"On the contrary, I feel that for the Yue people, things like Wusun people are closer to our purpose." Shangwen said.
Hearing this, Yang Duan looked at Wei Liao in confusion, while Wei Liao looked at Shang Wen. He didn't know what Shang Wen meant.
"Our ultimate goal is not to expand the war, but to use the means of war to force the other party to buy our weapons, or we can take the opportunity to sell weapons on a large scale, or other products. Use their local specialties to exchange with us. That's it. Purpose." Shang Wen looked at everyone and said.
"Our current situation, everyone is well aware that we cannot expand westward on a large scale, and the current situation does not allow it. We need a time for development and transition. At the very least, our transportation must be completed." Shang Wen Speaking of.
"The way to stimulate the development of road transportation is the increase in commercial cargo transportation, and the increase in logistics will naturally stimulate the great development of Qin's railway in the Western Regions." Shang Wen said.
"I have such an idea. You said before that a large number of commercial bases should be established on the roads opened up in Dawan. How to solve the traffic situation of these commercial bases?" Shang Wen asked.
"There is no way to solve it. My solution is to use railways. Railways can transport a large amount of goods. At the same time, there are armored trains to protect them. Once there is a problem, the armored trains can be dispatched to protect our railways and the safety of our bases." Shang Wen said To.
"The establishment of these commercial bases is actually to promote our products. Before launching a large-scale war, we used commercial methods to absorb their funds, let them enter a period of financial difficulties, and dumped a large number of goods to reduce their economic capacity. . This is our purpose." Shang Wen said.
"The situation of the Yueshi, Wusun people just meets our requirements. We can fight, but not now. We can do business with them before the fight. We can sell them the backward flintlocks and smoothbore artillery. In this way, we can earn a lot of money, and we can also manage a large number of munitions orders on our behalf. Our main purpose is to open the market, not to fight blindly with them. The situation in Dawan means this. Now." Shang Wen said.
"En. There is indeed such a situation. Dawan has continuously dispatched commercial armed forces to rob. They have attacked quite a number of tribes. These tribes may attack our commercial armed forces only when they counterattack. In this case, I am worried that our business Can't the activity start?" Wei Liao said to Shangwen worriedly at this time.
"I know this." Shang Wen said.
"However, it is not that there is no solution. As our offensive begins, there will inevitably be some divisions among these people, as long as we take advantage of these divisions. After all, some people will choose to cooperate, and some people will not choose to cooperate." Shang Wen Speaking of.
"The specific thing about Dawan is the establishment of commercial bases. With these commercial bases, we can do a lot of things." Shang Wen continued.
"Should we continue to dump a lot of flintlocks and artillery?" Meng Tian asked at this time.
"Yes, our military industry needs a large amount of military expenditure to support it. At that time, we could not have a large amount of military expenditure to allocate to the army. What we need to do is to sell them a large number of outdated weapons. To maintain the military industry of Qin. Operation. Military products are not just products that we open to the other side's market. Our other products can also enter them on a large scale." Shang Wen continued.
"In addition to these, some of the local resources are also our key targets. The current development of Qin requires a variety of resources. What kind of superior resources are available in the local area. We will ask for what kind of resources." Shang Wen said To.
"In this way, great improvements are needed. Military means are not necessary. But they are the last means. There are many kinds of methods to be used before. Do we need to integrate all the forces to carry out? "Meng Tian asked Shangwen.
"Yes. I plan to establish a large-scale trading company in general to conduct foreign trade in general. Specific matters will be carried out by various trading companies. For example, we will establish a Western trading company or a Western trading company. It will be done in a company way. Participate in it. We can't participate in it." Shang Wen said.
"En." Wei Liao nodded. And Yang Duanhe also nodded. In this way, Qin State is equivalent to letting out all the outside affairs. Whether the company starts trading or seeks other ways to seek profit is entirely their own business, and Qin Guo does not interfere a lot in this, and how to seek profit becomes the company's business. It has become something that the industrial and commercial enterprises themselves worry about, rather than what the Qin government and Qin Jun are concerned about. In this way, both the Qin government and the Qin Army have a lot of freedom. That's where Yang Duanhe nodded in agreement.
If it is done according to the current method, Qin Jun will not be able to accomplish such a thing anyway, but if Shangwen deliberately entrusts these things to the trading company, then they do not have to undertake such things.
"Specific ideas, we don't interfere a lot. It can be said that we only need to provide the corresponding registration and license issuance, these are enough. Specifically, to what extent they have achieved, we only need to understand the situation." Shang Wen said To.
"Qin's security strategy is like this. Our border states are generally on alert. We are defensive, but outside the border, our trading companies use a variety of flexible methods. Trade and military strikes are good. Or maybe it is cooperation or training your own assistants. In short, the Qin government does not interfere with many of these. We must let go and boldly let them do it." Shang Wen said.
When Wei Liao heard this, he was vaguely worried, but thought of the current situation in the State of Qin. He still feels that some of Shangwen's ideas are correct. After all, this did not actually lose much to Qin.
The meeting quickly determined a strategy, but this strategy still needs the final approval of King Qin before it can take effect. This strategy is to encourage the trading companies of Qin State to start trade as much as possible, provide strong support to their trade, and have extremely limited interference with them.
"Is this kind of thinking too crazy?" Meng Yi asked Shangwen carefully on the way back.
"There is no way. If you don't do something like this, someone will naturally do it. The current market in Qin is not very optimistic. We urgently need to open up the Western Regions market. Those factory owners, enterprises, and trade companies are all here. Staring. If we govern and interfere too much, they will not participate in it." Shangwen explained.
"I didn't mean it. I was worried. If we do this, it will be harmful to the Qin State. You know, if you mess up like this, we won't be able to control them at all. Who knows what they will do, we will suffer in the end. It must be us." Meng Yi said worriedly.
"Your worries are not unreasonable, but under such circumstances, we have no choice." Shang Wen said.
"Qin State needs a large amount of market, but we can't provide such a large market. Qin's domestic production enterprises have finally started to work, and military industrial enterprises have only found a Western market. This is also a big loss to the Yueshi and Wusun people. "Shang Wen said.
"However, if we look at it from a long-term perspective, you will worry that the demand for muskets will eventually be met. For example, in the current Chu market, the number of muskets we exported has increased exponentially, but now Large-scale shrinkage, and the number of artillery exports is also rapidly decreasing. If it were not for the Western Regions market, our artillery workshop would stop production. In that case, workers would not start work, and they would not be paid. What will it do?" Shang Wen asked.
Meng Yi shook his head, saying that he didn't know.
"They will go on strike, they will have sex. This is the internal **** of Qin. This kind of **** is not the result you and I want to see most. Such kind of **** is fatal to Qin." Shang Wen said.
"In this case, it's definitely not the situation we want. Once Qin State gets violent internally, the entire external situation will get out of control." Shang Wen said.
"And we must maintain the domestic situation first, not the foreign situation. The domestic situation is the first." Shang Wen said.
"The foreign situation helps us with a large market and supply of raw materials. The development of Qin requires a lot of raw materials. If these things cannot be effectively provided to Qin, the development of Qin will not be what it is today. Scale." Shang Wen said.
"En. I understand." Meng Yi nodded. Shangwen considers the problem from the perspective of the Qin State. The internal stability of the Qin State is the solid foundation for the external achievements of the Qin State. Such a foundation is very important to Qin.
Shangwen first considers the internal stability of the Qin State, and then the corresponding external results.
"I know what you worry about Qin State's safety. I am worried that these areas will get out of control and be in anarchy." Shang Wen said.
"Yes, if this continues, it will be very detrimental to us. If there is a rebellion or a new threat rises, then Qin will be in a state of making enemies on all sides. I am worried that Qin will not be able to cope with such a situation. If you go down." Meng Yi expressed his worry to Shang Wen.
"Well, I know your concern, but at present, our situation is not at the point of worrying. We are very lack of external development. It is this lack of reason that our market is narrow. The lack of market for factory production is dangerous. Yes, what we have to do now is to develop the market and develop a large number of markets. The more the market, the greater the demand. If they ask us, there will not be too many **. If there is a large number of purchases, they will have to The stronger the economic dependence, the stronger the opposition to our regime, we can all overwhelm the past and adopt a variety of ways to deal with it, instead of using the limited mobile force of Qin itself." Shang Wen emphasized.
"En." Meng Yi nodded.
"I see. This is the best way at the moment." Meng Yi said.
"Yes. If we do not give the merchants more autonomy at this time, what kind of situation will be caused, many things will be destroyed in our own hands. Remember that the most powerful enemy is not the outside, but us. Myself." Shang Wen patted Meng Yi's shoulder and said.
"En." Meng Yi nodded. For Shang Wen's words, Meng Yi kept it in his heart.
"You also saw today's material today." Shang Wen continued.
"I saw it." Meng Yi replied.
"This is also the reason why I want to continue trading." Shang Wen said.
"The country of Yan needs a lot of loans, and we have to cooperate with them from the financial and banking aspects. In the future, a lot of banknotes will be needed. But the issuance of these banknotes requires a large amount of gold as a reserve. If Qin does not have such a large If it is reserved, the State of Qin cannot promote banknotes to the State of Yan. Once the State of Qin promotes gold on a large scale without gold reserves, you and I know the consequences best." Shang Wen said seriously to Meng Yi . Meng Yi stopped.
"Let's go." Shang Wen pulled Meng Yi and said.
"The State of Qin is now a big ship and cannot easily break out of war. What Qin needs is stable development. If you want to promote the influence of the State of Qin, you must promote the influence of paper money. At present, the State of Qin is a place where a large amount of gold enters. It is the Western Regions, which is also one of the important reasons for the development of the Western Regions market." Shang Wen said.
Having said that, Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen, but he didn't expect Shang Wen to think of this.
"On the one hand, Qin State may have to cut interest rates in the future when outputting a large amount of banknotes. This means that a large number of banknotes will be issued. On the other hand, the increase in Qin’s gold reserves is decreasing. If we continue to follow the current gold If the reserve goes on, what will be the situation?" Shang Wen asked.
"The situation is very bad. The Qin State Council lacks enough gold to maintain the current paper currency system. Once the entire paper currency system becomes uncontrollable, the entire system of Qin State will collapse. This is what I worry about the most." Shang Wen said. To.
"Then Qi Guo, there are Qi Guo loans on the materials, as well as the purchase and lease of boats, what do you think?" Meng Yi then asked.
"Make their money." Shang Wen said.
"Make their money?" Meng Yi asked.
"Yes. Such a good opportunity, why don't we make money? Of course, it is their orders to sustain the development of our shipbuilding industry. Why don't we do this. We provide them with loans, and they bring these things to us. The country orders goods, arms, cans, warships, artillery, etc. can be sold to them, anyway, they have to make money in the end. When they want to expand their scale, we can join them in joint ventures. , To adopt a cooperative approach to continue to make money, these are all irrelevant things." Shang Wen said.
"Oh." Meng Yi didn't know what Shang Wen was thinking.
"Industry will be transferred." Shang Wen continued.
"Just like the flintlocks produced by Qin's military enterprises, the principle of flintlocks is very simple, and the structure of the flintlocks is very simple." Shang Wen said.
"If such products continue to be produced, Qin’s guns will lose competitiveness, and it will be difficult to survive without competitiveness. What was the situation five years ago, and the situation now has great changes. This is the reason for competition." Shang Wen said.
"En. In this way, I think, I understand some truth. What you mean is to let our products continue to compete. Although we do not participate in it, we can do a lot of things to participate. If we do this, we It is also possible to improve production." Meng Yi said.
"Right." Shang Wen said.
"En. In this case, I don't have to worry about it." Meng Yi continued.
"So, my strategy is that in the future, Qin will participate in the competition for profit as much as possible. This kind of purely military expansion can be done, but it should not be done too much. After all, fighting is extremely costly. Great things, if they want, let them do it well." Shangwen said.
Beigang of Qin State.
"Listen, the forms filled in here are the information about your visit to the State of Qin. You can only go to State of Qin after you fill in these forms, otherwise you will be blocked outside and can't do anything." The country clerk shouted loudly. At the same time, he waved the stack of printed forms in his hand. Only when these forms were submitted, the Qin government would issue them a pass, and they could reach Qin to work.
"Mother, I'm hungry." A Chu country child said pitifully on the boat.
"Child, wait a little longer, wait a little longer, after waiting here, you will be able to eat delicious food. Qin State-owned meat, there are many delicious food, don't worry, don't worry." The child's mother said to the child Speaking of.
"Mother, can you really eat meat?" The child asked at this time.
"Yes." The child's mother nodded. Along the way, she heard that people in Qin can eat meat every day, and people in Qin are reluctant to eat meat because they eat meat. These were all heard from others, and she herself didn't know it, but she knew that Qin was a powerful and powerful country, and these problems should be able to be resolved when Qin was reached.
"Um, brother, we don't know how to read this form, we can't fill in this form." A group of Chu people surrounded the clerk.
"This is easy to say. I will handle it for you. After doing this, you can go to Qin to work as laborers. But before, you have to give me a little benefit." The clerk rubbed his hands and said.
"This." Some Chu people said embarrassingly. And more Chu people have a look of perseverance, they are extremely dissatisfied with Qin people's blatant behavior of asking for money. When they finally came here, they were really annoyed to see such a face. But thinking of them being able to enter, some of them still couldn't bear it. But they were very dissatisfied with the attitude of the people of Qin. They can't wait to beat these Qin people.
