The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"For the demand for steel, I think that over time, Zhao Guoguo gradually has such technology." Shang Wen comfortedly said to Li Mu. As the summit date approaches. At this time, Li Mu also needed Qin's main message on the content of this meeting.

"Relax, I think that in the near future, Zhao will produce a lot of steel, and the amount of steel will far exceed Qin." Shang Wen said to Li Mu with a smile.

"Really?" Li Mu asked at this time.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"After all, Zhao has a lot of technical reserves, but at present, Zhao should not consider the production of steel, but should increase Zhao's iron production capacity on the current basis. This is what Zhao must do. Yes, after all, the demand for iron will be very large now. In addition, Zhao has great energy advantages. Such advantages have to consider other industries. I think Zhao should pay more attention to this aspect." Shang Wen suggested.

"Yeah. I understand this, but capital. Zhao Guo still lacks a lot of financial problems. This point should be understood. At present, Zhao Guo has an iron factory and a railway construction which consumes a lot of capital, and more nobles. They also suffered a lot of losses before, so if they want to redeem their current losses, I think it’s not a big hope." Li Mu said to Shangwen.

"I understand what the general said." Shangwen habitually calls Li Mu the general term. In Shangwen's view, Li Mu is a qualified soldier, and he respects such a soldier's quality.

"It's not just these. Recently, Qin State encouraged us to develop a colony in Zhao State. Until now, we have not solved the financial problem of purchasing the colony. If this is the case, it will be difficult for us to develop other things. What we think is that in the iron factory On the basis of the current profit, we will expand our current sales and then expand our current profits." Li Mu said.

"The prime minister should also understand that Zhao's fiscal revenue is very low. The situation in Zhao's entire country is very unoptimistic." Li Mu then said to Shang Wen.

"I understand all of these, so our Qin State has changed a lot. Especially the bank." Shang Wen said.

"Is it the bank's investment?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes. Bank investment, commercial banks no longer make commercial loans like before. Simple commercial loans. Such loans cannot make good profits. This is very costly for us, and a cycle is very difficult for us. It's hard to accept." Shang Wen said to Li Mu.

"Zhao Guo has established his own stock trading market. This is a great inspiration for us. In this way, we can consider and invest. In this way, you can also get sufficient funds, and we can also have a good investment. Projects can be earned." Shang Wen said.

"Moreover, investment can solve many problems. For example, the colony problem. If Zhao can establish a colony company or a corresponding commercial and trading company, then we can invest in it. We only need to occupy a certain amount of shares. Sure. As for how to operate, what you buy. What you sell, we don't care. We just need to think that there is investment value." Shang Wen said.

"In this case, we can cooperate with each other, and at the same time, we can greatly sell Zhao Guo's ironware. After all, Zhao has a corresponding iron factory. After the iron factory has the iron factory, it can expand the scale of a large number of iron factories. All these are for Zhao Guo. Very beneficial." Shang Wen said to Li Mu.

"Does the prime minister really think so?" Li Mu asked at this time.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded.

"This is a trend. The current demand for iron is very large. Qin also has a place to produce iron. However, it lacks a certain foundation. Or the conditions are not very good. And Zhao has such conditions, I think Zhao can completely Use our own advantages to introduce Qin State capital to develop." Shang Wen suggested to Li Mu.

"Yeah. We will consider the prime minister's idea." Li Mu nodded.

"It's just that we don't know enough about the specific methods." Li Mu continued.

"Very simple." Shang Wen said.

"Introducing capital, mortgage a large number of shares, and these shares are equivalent to capitalization. They can be used as a certificate of shareholding." Shang Wen said.

"In this way, a large number of companies can be established. These companies, if they have good profits and financial conditions, can quickly enter the stock market, trade on the stock market, and develop rapidly." Shang Wen said.

"Is it really okay to do this?" Li Mu thinks that if you do this, it will easily stimulate the development of Zhao Guo Company. Think about it, as long as I have a project, those nobles have a lot of such resources in their hands. With these resources, they You can quickly find a project, and then attract funds from Qin Guo's investment bank. They are easy to make money, and the taxes they generate are also considerable. There are many reasons for Zhao's poor financial situation, but the decline in the profitability of Zhao's economy has a lot to do with it. And if Shang Wen did so, it would greatly stimulate the economic development of Zhao State. This is of great benefit to Zhao Guo, and such benefits are obvious.

"If you do this, it will not only stimulate the economic development of Zhao State. In addition, it will greatly develop the State of Qin State." Shang Wen said.

"Zhao’s economy and Qin’s economy are seeking cooperation. Such things are normal in the case of investment. In this way, not only Zhao can develop, but Qin can also learn from Zhao’s development. Benefits, after all, Qin has many economies. Such economies can easily find business opportunities for common development." Shang Wen said.

"Well. This is a win-win situation." Li Mu said to Shang Wen.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded and admitted.

"However, we need Zhao Guo to provide more conditions, such as infrastructure." Shang Wen said.

"Well, Zhao Guo needs a lot of financial funds. I am afraid that it will not meet your needs." Li Mu said helplessly. This is indeed the case. Zhao Guo's financial funds are very lacking. Under such circumstances, Li Mu simply cannot meet such a situation. demand.

"Well. It seems that I said it a bit early. But I think Zhao Guo will solve this problem by himself sooner or later, because if it attracts investment, sometimes because of a railway or convenient transportation, it will change." Shang Wen said .

"It seems that we, Zhao Guo, have to invest in construction." Li Mu said.

"Well. Maybe other ways can be used to solve these problems. After all, in many cases, the government can make money on these projects." Shang Wen said.

"In addition, there are many projects for the government to make money. I think the generals are definitely not limited to this." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah. I understand." Li Mu nodded. Li Mu suddenly opened up his vision. The government's fiscal revenue does not necessarily have to be placed on finances and taxes, but can also be placed on other aspects, for example, it can sell the land, minerals, and participate in the projects of specific undertakings. These places can all have government investment projects. Li Mu suddenly thought of a little. The Northern Wei government relied on this to develop. They took advantage of the convenient railway transportation to sell a large amount of nearby land. The price of these land rose rapidly. They did not care what purpose the land was used for, but they But it can quickly make a profit. In this way, fiscal revenue can be completed without taxation. In this case, the state of Zhao can also be completed in this way, which is of great benefit to the state of Zhao, for example, the colony, this kind of opportunity has a lot of use.

"In addition, it is that Zhao Guo can give more benefits to investment projects. For such projects, we hope that the more the better. After all, this is of great benefit to us." Shang Wen said.

"What are the benefits of this?" Li Mu asked.

"For example, taxation, or other support. Legal support is also possible." Shangwen said.

"This point. I'm a little vague." Li Mu didn't know what Shangwen's legal support was?

"I don't know this too well, but as things develop, I think it can be done." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah." Li Mu nodded. He believes that Shang Wen is right. It is true that further development is needed to see the specific things. Otherwise, just relying on some guesses to implement things will bring great disaster to Zhao.

"I understand these things. I will study some. I hope to discuss more with the Prime Minister. After all, such things will be very beneficial to us." Li Mu said.

"Well. In addition, I think that Zhao Guo should also shift some of its attention to foreign countries, such as colonies, and other directions, such as Yan Kingdom." Shang Wen thought of the issue of Yan Kingdom at this time. In his opinion, Yan Kingdom There is a deep contradiction with Zhao Guo, or this problem can be solved greatly at this time.

"This, I'm afraid we can't be the master." Li Mu said, shaking his head. Regarding the issue of Yan State. Li Mu also knew very well that Zhao State was sandwiched between Qin State and Yan State. If Qin State continued to make good relations with Yan State, it would form a two-line battle in Zhao State. This is true in history. But on diplomatic issues. Li Mu has his own ideas, but domestic public opinion is beyond his grasp. Therefore, at this point, it is difficult for him to get a lot of support.

"At this point, I am somewhat powerless. Zhao Guoren is very persistent, especially in some inherent views." Li Mu said to Shangwen.

"I think this is a prejudice against Zhao Guoren. I think Zhao Guo can try it on specific interests. No one is willing to make greater losses on interests." Shang Wen suggested.

"Ok". Li Mu nodded. But one thing Li Mu caught attention, he didn't know what Shangwen wanted to do, especially with regard to the issue of Yan Kingdom. Sensitive to this question, Li Mu decided to ask Shangwen.

"I just don't know how the Prime Minister views the issue of Yan State?" Li Mu asked.

"I think that the first problem that the country of Yan has to solve is the North Korean issue, and then the area north of Liaodong 1 can be further developed, where there are vast and undeveloped areas. I think that Zhao can also consider the colony there." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"Really?" Li Mu didn't expect it. Shangwen would let Zhao Guo consider the problem of the colony in northern Liaoning.

"Yes, but the first thing to solve for Yan's problem is his North Korea issue. These two problems are difficult to solve and more difficult. I hope that Qin and Zhao can solve this problem together." Shang Wen said.

On the issue of Yan State, Shang Wen hopes that there will be a helper country to develop Yan State. Yan State is not a very good market for Qin State, and the North Korean issue is also a costly project, because if it is not done well, war will Will continue to fight. After all, no one knows what Goguryeo people think. Therefore, the State of Qin needed an ally to solve this problem. On this issue, Shangwen thought of the State of Zhao. After all, the State of Zhao and the State of Yan are very close. The two sides have a great geographic relationship.

"This matter, we Zhao Guo need to think about it carefully." Li Mu is very unfamiliar with this issue. In particular, they have never seriously considered the direction of Yan State to develop. In their view, Yan State is only a defensive direction, not a main direction of development. So on the issue of Yan State, Zhao State was a bit hasty. However, this also attracted Li Mu's attention. After all, Shang Wen would not ask such a question for no reason. Zhao Guo did need to consider it and use foreign affairs to transfer domestic contradictions, and then develop Zhao Guo's own affairs.

Then the two ended the conversation, but raised the issue of Yan Kingdom. It was a very accidental thing, after all, Shang Wen was also when Zhao Guo raised a question. I came up with such a plan by accident. In this way, Shang Wen thought of another option three. That is, whether Qin can unite with South Korea has its own specific views on the development of Wei and Qi. After all, South Korea has been actively pursuing a policy of external expansion. Can Qin take advantage of this to expand its influence? Shangwen believes that this is feasible. If this is done, it can bring a lot of investment project opportunities to Qin. In this case, there can be more projects.

Shangwen had to be happy with his thoughts at this time, and he decided to go back soon and tell Meng Yi of this thought.

"How could this happen?" Han Shu asked the Minister of Defense with a telegram very annoyed.

"Two-way offensive. One way of attacking by land. At this point, they managed to enter, and the troops were not much. Now it is good. On the other way, they attacked by sea. There are not many merchant ships to support, and there are no warships. Then, is it? Let our people only attack from the land, and there is only one reinforcement regiment with three thousand people, three thousand people attacking the opponent's 15,000 troops, how is such a thing possible." Han Shu waved the telegram in his hand loudly. Asked. Han Shu only learned about what happened on the front line today. The Marine Corps attacking from the sea did not have enough ships, and none of the warships. The main purpose of the sea attack is not to launch a sudden attack, but to provide sufficient logistical support to ensure that there are sufficient logistical materials to reach Occupy Langya smoothly. South Korea chose to transport materials from the land and store them in the coastal area, and then transport them by sea from the coastal area to Jimo City. In this way, the logistic transportation task of the South Korean Marine Corps can be completed. With such logistic transportation, it can greatly ensure that South Korea can win this war, but now it seems. I am afraid that such a plan cannot be realized because South Korea lacks enough ships.

"My lord, this matter, the minister thinks there may be some problems." Zhang Liang thinks it happened suddenly, but if you think about it carefully, there may be many things that he didn't notice.

"It's not some problems, but very big problems. If these problems can't be solved, I think we can't beat Chu Jun at all." Han Shu said.

"The king, the minister believes that the main problem is still on the merchant ships. The minister does not know what happened. South Korean merchant ships will not support the South Korean Marines, but the minister believes that we must have a problem that will cause such a problem. The top priority should be to get the Korean merchant ships to recover and gather as soon as possible. Only in this way can they deliver a large number of troops and logistical supplies. Without these materials, I think our situation in South Korea would be even worse." At that time, Zhang Liang made further suggestions.

"Yeah." Han Shu nodded. Han Shu calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, she thought Zhang Liang was right.

The defense minister on the side also thought that Zhang Liang was right, but he didn't know where the specific problem was. Therefore he dared not breathe a little air.

"I don't know how the Minister of Defense gave the order. What did you do with the merchant ships that South Korea collected?" Zhang Liang saw Han Shu calm down at this time, so he hurriedly asked the Minister of Defense about specific matters.

"This. We just collect it very often, and at most give them some subsidies for some merchant ships, and that's what the Prime Minister should know." The Defense Minister said aggrievedly.

"Our military expenditures were originally not much, and there is only so much we can do." At this time, the Minister of Defense said.

"Are you just giving some subsidies?" Zhang Liang asked seriously at this time.

"Yes, we can only give such subsidies." said the defense minister.

"It seems that the problem has been found." Hearing this, Zhang Liang said to Han Shu.

"What's the problem?" Han Shu hurriedly asked at this time.

"The subsidies we give are too small. After all, Korean merchant ships are for commercial interests. The minister heard that these merchant ships can make several times the profit by selling goods from Nanyang, and then a large amount of goods imported from Qin are loaded on the ship. They can also make a lot of money if they are transported to the south and sold to the colony of Chu Kingdom or other places. Although the risk is high, they make enough money and there are certain storm seasons. If this is the case, they are not allowed to We don’t spend a lot of time on sailing, and the subsidies we give are not enough to offset such profits. Merchant ships are naturally reluctant to participate. After all, if they do, these merchant ships will suffer a lot of losses. They are naturally reluctant. Do this." Zhang Liang said.

"So that's the case. Are these businessmen and widows giving them not enough profits?" Han Shu felt a little angry when he heard this. Han Shu felt very annoyed by these businessmen's behaviors of forgetting justice, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they It's businessmen. South Korea still needs these businessmen, but the businessmen are still very annoyed by such behavior. Just because they don't have enough subsidies, they will not obey the orders of the Admiralty. For her, it is a very big blow.

"My lord, the minister believes that the problem does not lie with the merchants. The merchants are inherently profitable. We should understand that they do such a thing." Zhang Liang said at this time.

"Understand, few people can't understand." Han Shu said annoyedly.

"Your Majesty. The current minister believes that the logistics supply problem should be resolved as soon as possible, instead of collecting ships, merchants do not follow orders." Zhang Liang said.

"Do not obey orders to merchants. Although the minister also believes that this is extremely detrimental to South Korea by merchants, we were originally going to use merchant ships to transport logistics supplies. South Korea can help Qi build a road to solve our logistics supply problems. , Then we can also solve our logistics supply problem by guiding the interests of businessmen." At this time, Zhang Liang persuaded.

"Yeah." Han Shu began to calm down at this time. She felt that Zhang Liang was right. The key to the problem is not whether the businessman obeys the order, but to solve the logistics supply problem as soon as possible. If this problem is not resolved, then there will be There is a big logistical supply problem. The trouble caused by this problem will be very big. This will have too much impact on South Korea’s next military action.

"Yes. You are right. Do you have any way to solve this matter?" Han Shu asked at this time.

"Yeah." Zhang Liang thought for a while.

"The minister's view is that only by promising to give them great benefits can they join in, otherwise it will be difficult to mobilize them." Zhang Liang said.

"Tell me, what specific method do you have?" Han Shu said anxiously.

"The minister's idea is to divide the interests after the war. Especially some of the interests and benefits of Jimo City." At this time, Zhang Liang thought about it.

"Does the widow want to give them the spoils of war?" Han Shu asked a little unhappy at this time.

"No, what the minister wants to say is the tax exemption policy granted by South Korea, in addition, and a large number of investment projects, such as port construction. There are also merchant shipping concessions, etc.. If you participate, you will give more. After all, a city like Jimo Korean cuisine has just been occupied. If South Korea wants to develop and recover, it needs a lot of capital and manpower to develop. In this way, if we give them a lot of post-war benefits, they will inevitably participate, so that they can be greatly mobilized. Their enthusiasm." Zhang Liang said. Zhang Liang just provided such an idea. However, he hasn't figured out how to implement it. After all, he was right to have such an idea. Instead of suppressing, it is better to actively mobilize the interests of businessmen. In this case, merchants will actively participate.

"Yeah. That's right." Han Shu nodded, he thought Zhang Liang's idea was correct.
