The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Prime Minister, something happened to Wei Guo." Meng Yi came in anxiously and said to Shang Wen.

"South or north?" Shang Wen asked.

"South. King Wei was abolished." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen. After Shangwen heard it, he didn't make any expressions. It seemed as expected.

"En. It seems that Wei has formed two governments in the north and south," Shang Wen said.

"Don't you have any opinions?" Meng Yi asked at this time.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"It's very simple. The Wei government in the south is on the verge of financial collapse." Shang Wen said simply.

"As far as I know, King Wei spent a lot of money to buy messy things, such as mastiffs, the cost of beauties, and palace repairs. Most of Qin's luxury goods were sold to the Wei Palace. "Shang Wen said.

"However, the Wei government, of course. It is the king of Wei in the south who is in the government, and his finances have already been in deficit. I heard that their army is in arrears. Such financial situation is very worrying. If Wei in the south is in arrears. If the Chinese government does not solve this financial problem, I think their situation will become very fragile. Maybe this government will continue to change until it is finally replaced by a government that can solve Wei's financial problems." Shang Wen said To.

"En. I haven't thought about this issue." Meng Yi nodded.

"All government problems are financial problems. This problem needs to be solved by ourselves. We Qin people can't help much. These are not things we can help ourselves. That's it." Shangwen decided.

The Southern King Wei was driven down. Shangwen believes that this is not surprising. The Southern government is already on the verge of collapse, and the nobles have not even noticed it.

Nanyang Strait, also known as the Strait of Malacca today.

"Ship. Look, it's a ship." A pirate on the shore called excitedly.

"Where?" At this time, the pirate captain picked up the binoculars and looked.

In the distance, he saw an armed merchant ship with the Korean flag flying on it. Obviously, it was a Korean armed merchant ship.

"Get on the ship quickly. Get on the ship soon." The pirate captain shouted, but the pirates remained motionless.

"Get up. Get up quickly, get up." The pirate captain cursed loudly.

"Head, no way. Everyone is no good. Too tired." A thin pirate replied. This time they went out to sea, they had nothing, and the consequence of this was that the morale of the pirates was extremely low. The morale of pirates has a lot to do with the property they rob every time they travel. If they can't rob a large amount of property, their morale will be very low. In this case, their situation is very chaotic. Difficult to command.

"Damn it, look at you, there is a lot of wealth on Korean merchant ships." The pirate captain was excited. But the pirates were lying motionless on the ground.

"Head, this trip, we broke a lot of people, and we fought with Koreans, we really can't." Some pirates shouted loudly. The pirates' method of warfare is based on their own numerical superiority, if they do not have a numerical superiority. They often do not choose to take the initiative to attack, and they heard that the Koreans have fast ships and fierce firepower, which is simply not something they can do as pirates.

Hearing this, the pirate captain understood what he meant. But he can't do these things alone. Looking at his subordinates' reluctance to stand up, I am afraid that if he kills some people, he will not get any benefits. You must know that the prestige of the pirate captain is not only based on killing, more It must also be based on rewards. Without rewards, there is nothing.

"Damn it." The pirate captain cursed loudly, and then said nothing. He could only watch the Korean ships leave here.

South Korean armed merchant ships.

"We didn't gain much this time, but we found a lot of things we haven't seen before and places we've never been to." The captain said to his first officer. The chief officer felt very aggrieved when he heard this, because they didn't fill the ship this time, so if they went back in this way, their loss would be very great.

"I know, you are not happy this time, our ship is not full." The captain comforted.

"Yes. Captain. Although you have already said it. But I still feel that we are not doing very well this time?" the chief officer said.

"Captain, we went out for a voyage, but there was a cost. Moreover, the businessman who funded us also paid for it. If we return empty-handed this time, think about it, can we come out again next time?" Said the deputy worried.

"This, don't worry about it," the captain said.

"When we go back, we will encounter a lot of islands, find those islands, we can go up and find something worthy of wealth." The captain said disapprovingly.

"But, head, if you do this, isn't it?" the first officer said worriedly.

"Stop talking. Too much, it doesn't make much sense." The captain continued.

"The important thing is the nautical chart. Have you recorded the latitude and longitude of those places?" the captain asked.

"Well, it's recorded. According to this coordinate, there should be no problem." The chief officer replied.

"Okay, that's it. This is what we want. With this coordinate, we are not afraid that we will not get rich." said the captain.

"Hope." The first officer said worriedly. The captain is thinking about the future, but what he is worried about is the immediate things. If the immediate things are not done well, their situation will not change much. This is a disaster for them. They don't want to do this.

"What do you think you think, I don’t know. You first mates, second mates, etc., will definitely be captains in the future. You want to have your own boat. With such a boat, you can get rich and you can Live a good life." The captain continued.

The first officer lowered his head.

"However, this voyage is very risky. We have been going to places where people have been. This is nothing, but there are still many places that have not been visited. This voyage is a challenge. It is not only about profit, but also more. It is a kind of adventure, the spirit of adventure. Without these, the sea would eliminate us." said the captain.

"We are all people who eat by the sea," the captain said.

"If there is no adventurous person, it would be impossible to rely on the sea for food," the captain said.

Sailing is an adventurer's game, if you don't have enough courage, you can't do this at all. The reason why South Korea is able to have such a big sailing business is that there are a group of people who are willing to take risks, and the generation that they followed later, but can not show such a spirit of active adventure and pioneering. What the captain has to do is to cultivate this kind of spirit, which is not something that can be cultivated all at once, but a kind of spiritual inheritance.

"Let's go, go back, after we go back, we have two things to do in the ocean industry." The captain said to the first officer. The first officer nodded. Maybe he still can't understand what the captain means, but things have to go on.

Chu State.

"Lord, I heard that the Xiang family has transported a large number of rioters to Qin. Perhaps by this time, they have already made a lot of money from Qin. Such a lot of money can be for us. Solve a lot of problems." Barr said.

"Those mobs are so easy to catch. You can't catch them." Ping Hou waved his hand and said.

"Those private soldiers, one is more useless than the other. Cannons, give and muskets are also given, but it is so difficult to catch individuals even if they are defeated. A bunch of trash." Ping Hou shouted loudly.

"Master, I have a plan." Barr said.

"Oh. Come and listen." Ping Hou said.

"We can use the method of temptation. I heard that Xiang Jia does this. Specifically, we can do this???". At this time, Barr told Ping Hou his way in a low voice.

"Miao, Miao, that's it, do it quickly and send all these people to the State of Qin." Ping An Hou shouted loudly at this time, clapping his hands.

But Barr smiled and left. The riots in the Chu Kingdom broke out in different places, and these places were not connected with each other. This gave the nobles a chance to divide and encircle. However, the nobles could not eat so many mobs. In addition, the nobles’ private soldiers had a solid combat power. It is limited. If you gather to fight together, you may win. However, the opponent should not fight on their own. Especially after the large-scale use of firearms, ambushes and attacks have become a mainstream combat method. One salvo can shoot and kill. The chaos caused by a large number of soldiers can easily cause the noble private soldiers to cause widespread panic, and then they will retreat. Cold weapon combat thinking has seriously affected the use of firearms.

The Chu army is still a serious army of cold weapon thinking. When force cannot be used, the nobles can only switch to other methods. This method can only be a soothing or deceptive promise.

The capital of Yan State.

"Let's take a look, Father King is coming again to remind the army." Prince Dan handed the telegram in his hand to his finance minister with a headache.

"Prince, there is really no money in the finances. The urgent tax increase in the previous month has been demanded." The Minister of Finance said.

"Besides, the current capital of Yan State is still so dilapidated. Not only this, it is no longer possible for Yan State to collect taxes. The last tax payment has caused a lot of dissatisfaction. If it is collected again, I am afraid. "The Minister of Finance said embarrassingly. Prince Dan also set up a cabinet of his own following the way of Qin State. People in Yan State generally call it the prince cabinet. If it were not for Prince Dan to provide part of the tax, I am afraid Yan Wangxi would not want to see the prince set up a cabinet by himself.

"This." Prince Dan looked at his finance minister embarrassedly.

"I can't help it. My father is at war with North Korea. The frontline needs a lot of military materials and a lot of military expenses. We can only provide this money to my father." Prince Dan said.

"Prince, I can't go on like this. Don't the prince understand the current situation in various countries?" At this time, the Minister of Finance almost cried out and said.

"The size of the Qin army has remained at around 250,000, and military expenditures have been declining. The Qin army has basically maintained a situation in which it protects its own land from threats. Zhao's army has only 100,000, and the South Korean army The scale has been maintained at a scale of 50,000 to 60,000, and it is impossible to fight a large-scale war on such a scale." The Minister of Finance said as an example.

"I know all of these." Prince Dan waved his hand and said.

"Don't you understand the prince?" The Minister of Finance said anxiously at this time.

"Every country does not fight, nor does its military expenditure increase. Only our country, Yan, supports a large number of soldiers, and also fights abroad. The cost of combat is too high. Qin people can't afford it, and we Yan people can't afford it even more. Now," said the Minister of Finance.

"If there is no drag from military spending, our financial funds can do a lot of things. Prince, it can be said that Yan is not economically bad, but dragged to death by military spending." The Minister of Finance said.

"This." Prince Dan looked at his finance minister at this time.

"Prince, don't hesitate. When taxing, the country of Yan will break out of the people's rebellion. Just like the situation in other countries, the army may not be able to suppress it by then. This is definitely a passivity for us. "The Minister of Finance said.

"But, on the father's side, if the military supply is stopped, the entire war will be defeated." Prince Dan said.

"But if the military expenditure continues, our entire country of Yan will collapse." The Minister of Finance said, waving his hands.

"Wait, wait, maybe we still have a solution." Prince Dan touched his head and said.

"Yes. I remember. We still have the helper of Qin State. If we can unite with Qin State, Qin State can do these things." Suddenly, Prince Dan remembered that he had already sent a telegram to use Qin State's banknotes. In this way, Yan's economy would be tied to Qin's economy, and with Qin's financial support, they could go to war without restrictions.

"Here. Prince, speaking of bad things, why did Qin State participate in the affairs of our Yan State?" said the Minister of Finance.

"This." Prince Dan was blocked. He didn't know what to say.

"The minister believes that we should pay attention to Yan's own affairs at present. If this continues, Yan's country will be in great danger." The Minister of Finance said with a sad face.

"No. Send a telegram to the father and say that we can find the people of Qin to solve this problem. If the people of Qin help us solve this problem, then all problems can be solved." Prince Dan stood up and walked back and forth, looking nervous. Speaking of. The Minister of Finance looked at Prince Dan and shook his head. He thought that Prince Dan’s idea was too simple. Qin State would never help Yan State to do such a thing.

The streets of Xianyang, Qin State.

"Everyone should know that there is a word mentioned in our textbook, world." Shangwen said loudly while standing on the podium. And the conductor danced a finger and said.

"World." The people in the audience chanted.

"Yes, it is the world. The scope of this world is very large, including the places we already know, and there are many unknown places. This world is very large, so to speak, it is our planet. That is, the planet under our feet. "Shang Wen said, waving his arms. The science of Qin has developed rapidly. Thanks to the help of astronomical telescopes, the people of Qin have accepted the concept of the earth in their textbooks, and they have also seen the moon and Mars with their own eyes, which are actually a big sphere. In the same way, the land they are on is also a part of a planet. Astronomers in Qin are busy measuring, and they need to measure a lot of data, such as the specific unknown of the Tropic of Cancer and the perimeter of the equator. These are all astronomers. Busy things.

"Whether we know it or what we don’t know, it belongs to this land. We didn’t know that there was the Western Regions before, but now we know. So what is in the Western Regions? Do we know? What are they? People?" Shang Wen asked.

"What do they eat? What do they look like? We don't know all of this, don't we know, don't they exist?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"They exist, they must exist, otherwise we don't know, there is actually a Sabbath country on the west side of the Western Regions. We have not seen the people of this country." A Qin countryman said in the audience.

"Yes. That's right. We never knew what our west is, but we found out that we only knew it after we understood this." Shang Wen said.

"Our Qin State is very powerful, but we still can’t understand the world. Our vision is not long enough. We don’t look far enough in a Western Region. We should have common sense, a concept, and the world. The world is very We should understand.” Shangwen said.

"How to understand? This requires us to look at those areas that have not yet been discovered with an open mind." Shang Wen said.

"The current situation that the State of Qin has to face is far more than the situation it has to face at any time before." Shang Wen said.

"This is a test of Qin State. I have repeatedly asked myself, what should we do in Qin State? We know more and more unknown regions of the world, and the situation we encounter is more complicated than any previous period. What should we do?" Shang Wen asked.

"We close ourselves and pretend not to know them, can we?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"My own answer is, maybe, we are already very advanced after all. We can shut down and do not develop, and we can solve our development trend in the next few hundred years, but after a few hundred years, what should we do?" Shang Wen asked.

"We stopped developing, but they did not. We closed ourselves, but they did not close ourselves. On the contrary, they would actively understand the world of food delivery. They want to know what is happening in this world. They understand During the process, their civilization will slowly advance." Shang Wen said.

"Maybe this is competition. Competition leads us to open up, move forward, and keep moving forward. We can't stop and open up. This is our mentality." Shang Wen said.

"It is also our attitude. We must not abandon this world because this world is too big. To abandon this world is to abandon our own future and to be open. This is our attitude." Shangwen said.

"Choose an open attitude, we will regard the world as the direction of Qin's future development, and our vision will be much more long-term." Shang Wen said.

"Our current state of Qin still lacks such organization and ability, our commercial expedition is not enough, the scope of exploration is not far enough, we don't know much, these are our current weaknesses exposed." Shang Wen said.

"It's not just these." Shang Wen continued.

"Qin State has also fallen behind a lot in terms of language. Language is a carrier of civilization. With this carrier, we can understand them and understand their civilization." Shang Wen said.

"In addition, there is also that we want to use violence. We are too habitual to use violence. We have an advanced violent civilization. We always like to use violent milk to solve problems. In an open situation, we cannot do everything. Use violence to solve it." Shang Wen said.

"This is where the biggest problem lies. Qin needs to change his qualitative way of thinking, and try to continue to use open thinking. What is open thinking, that is, to use other methods." Shang Wen is serious. Speaking of.

This is Shang Wen's promotional activity for selected prime ministers.

"This time the Prime Minister's speech is very serious. We rarely see the Prime Minister say something in a serious tone in such a scene." The Economic Observer reported.

"Open up, what are we going to do? Where is the prime minister's humor?" Pravda reported.

Inside Shang Wen's office.

"I just said. Your speech is too serious. The effect of this time is very bad. All the newspapers are talking about you, too serious. In this case, we will not get the support of the people. We, the Democratic Party. The situation is very bad." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"En. I feel very good." Fan Zeng said.

"We have a few votes in our hands. Most people's votes are in the hands of the people of Qin. Without these votes, how could the prime minister be elected?" Meng Yi said.

"I think you should be more close to the people. People who are close to the Qin country can get the goodwill of the people of the Qin country. Such a serious expression. It can only bring negative effects. Seriousness is good, but proper humor can bring It will have a great impact." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"However, this speech. It seems that I prepared it. A lot more serious, I wrote it as an academic." Shang Wen said.

"En. This is the speech. We should promote the atmosphere of the people, not the atmosphere of the people's research. You are doing this wrong." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"Okay, I'll change it." Shang Wen nodded and admitted.
