The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin
Chapter 2140: The slave trade revived
Then Zhao Kaizi told about the attack on Qin Wu's caravan. Then combined with Zhao Lin's ideas, Zhao Kaizi boldly thought that he could do the slave trade.
Qin Jun couldn't count on it, so he counted on those merchants armed. But those merchants need great interests to mobilize them, and it is difficult to mobilize them without such interests. But if there are great benefits, these merchants' arms can be easily mobilized.
And there is a huge demand market for slaves, especially the railway demand of Qin. These slaves are mainly used to build railways. Those railway companies would be quite willing to provide generous rewards, not only that, but slaves can also stimulate greater trade. Thought of this. Zhao Kaizi had no reason to wait any longer. He decided to do it.
Just when Zhao Kaizi set his sights on the slave trade. Wang Ben of southern Xinjiang also began to notice this problem.
"Sir, the prisoner of war we provided this time gave us a fortune. Such a deal is a good deal." Wang Zhao said to Wang Ben with a smile.
"Yeah. Indeed, I made about 10,000 gold at once, but compared with those big businessmen, we still have a big gap." Although Wang Ben felt that he still didn't make enough.
"Sir, I think that the number of prisoners of war captured this time is not too large. After all, there are only about a thousand people. If we can capture more prisoners of war, maybe our situation will be changed a lot. After all, this slave trade was very different before. Prosperous, there were a lot of prisoners of war at that time. Of course. The more wars fought, the more prisoners of war were captured." Wang Zhao said.
"I know this, and I know it too." Wang Ben sat down and said. Then he waved for Wang Zhao to sit down too.
"But, you and I know what the situation is like now," Wang Ben said.
"There are fewer and fewer places to fight. And it is impossible for Qin to keep fighting like this. Therefore, the war will not solve the problem. This time we finally got a prisoner of war, but the next time. There is no war. Fighting, there are simply not enough prisoners of war. Without prisoners of war, there would be no slaves. Naturally, we wouldn't be able to make much money." Wang Ben said helplessly.
"Sir. We don't have this war here, but there are other places. For example." Wang Zhao paused.
"Say it quickly." Wang Ben waved his hand and said.
"My suggestion is that we don’t have war here, but the Yue people have them. Moreover, the Yue people are close to the Shah Nation, and there are the Tocharians mentioned in the recent messages, and the Wusun people. These people are a good source of slaves. As long as we provide certain materials and financial support, I think they will continue to send these people as slaves to us. Then we will sell them again. A railway company will definitely ask for it. Even if we add some money, they can do it." Wang Zhao said.
"Yeah. You are right." Wang Ben said.
"In this way, we have found another way to make money. It seems that our trading company is definitely going to make a lot of money this year." Wang Ben said with a smile.
"That's for sure, sir." Wang Zhao said with a smile.
"Well. Very good, just do it. You still have to take full responsibility for this matter." Wang Ben said, patted Wang Zhao on the shoulder.
"This must be done. Sir." Wang Zhao said saluting, and then Wang Ben waved his hand to let the other party go down.
With the development of border trade, Qin has been in a trade surplus. A large amount of goods have been exported to the countries of the Western Regions. Yueshi, Dawan, Tocharians, and Shah people are all very concerned about the goods produced by Qin. Are interested, and the market response has been very good. As a result, a large amount of wealth from various countries has poured into Qin continuously. With the accumulation of wealth in Qin, countries have lost a lot of money supply. If they cannot find good commodities to replace the original gold, they will face no The dilemma of currency use.
Fortunately, at this time, the people of Qin rethinked the slave trade, which was actually the demand for slaves caused by the severe labor shortage in Qin. In this context, the reopening of the slave trade has become a general trend.
In the southwestern border of Qin State, the Qin Army's border defenses are also quietly changing.
"Our teacher, why is it so unlucky to come to such a place, such a place, there is no money at all. Look at the hands of the teachers in the Western Regions who have made money and made money." A beard and scumbag. The soldier sat in the trench with dissatisfaction and waved the letter in his hand.
"What's wrong. Fifth." At this moment, a lieutenant officer came over and asked.
"Sir." The old fifth stood up and saluted.
"Sit down, there is no officer here, everyone, brothers." The lieutenant officer waved his arm and said.
"Sir." Old Wu called smoothly.
"Let me call Brother Shen." Shen Wei said, sitting on the ammunition box.
"Yes, Brother Shen." The fifth cried.
"There is nothing in the place we are defending. Those mountain Qiangs are cheap bones. Give them a little bit of benefit, and they don't remember anything. Hit them, and they hide away. We still have them here. High altitude sickness. Really his grandma's. It's not a beating or cursing. It's really hot." The fifth dissatisfied said.
"Well. The situation you mentioned, I also think it's very hot." Shen Wei said dissatisfied. He graduated from the Qin State Chang’an Military Academy and was directly promoted to a second lieutenant officer. He had two years of probation period missing, but it was better to have such a probation period directly. Under normal circumstances, such a probation period requires the officers to make a difference in order to be promoted. Coming up. After all, the number of Qin Jun is small now, but the number of officers who graduate each year is quite large. How can there be so many officer positions in the Qin Army? But the Southwest Defense Line is special, perhaps because of the long-term defensive state, and the special reason for their mission. The officers assigned here are directly promoted to second lieutenant, and because of the bravery before, Shen Wei led a reconnaissance team to draw. He attacked a nearby map and attacked a tribe. This gave him a promotion, although his rank has risen. But he was still the platoon leader. The position has not risen much. Shen Wei also knew that if this continued. I'm afraid he may not have the chance to be promoted. Now he is considering what else he can do after quitting as a soldier.
"That is, other teachers, their hands are weak when they get rich. Brother Shen, look at my brother's letter. They fought a battle in the Western Regions, arrested slaves, and gave a lot of money back. There are the trophies carried by those prisoners of war. It’s so damn, it’s so enviable. Our place, if you’re killed, you’ll be killed. This ruined place is so poor. The loot is the same as the men. I don't have any thoughts." Old fifth grumbled.
"Hahahaha." Hearing the grumble of the fifth. The onlookers laughed.
"Don't laugh. Tell you, people are in the Western Regions and they are playing with tall Western Region women. Here we are. With a man-like woman in your arms, you can still laugh. You don't know how to be ashamed. It's over. I had known this, so I won't do it. I went to the Western Regions to make a fortune." said the fifth unconvinced. At this point, no one else can laugh. After all, this is a fact. Defending such a place here, there is no oil and water at all. This makes them very depressed. The special geographical environment of this place makes them have to be suppressed here.
"You're his grandmother. You are a slave to the Qiang people in the mountains. What do you listen to here? Go digging trenches for Lao Tzu, and you will be lazy again. Lao Tzu was shot and killed." At this time, the old fifth saw one in exchange for it. The mountain slaves were lazy and did not dig trenches well. He immediately grabbed a stone and threw it over.
"Okay. What can I care about with this slave?" The sergeant on the side persuaded him at this time.
"You put this slave too close. Aren't you afraid that they will run away?" Shen Wei frowned at this time.
"Sir. These slaves have been tamed. It's okay. Besides. We have guns, they can't run far." A soldier on the side explained.
"This is not good either, you have to take a good look at the jailer, if you run away, there will be trouble." Shen Wei said worriedly.
"Yes, sir." said the soldier. These mountain Qiangs were bought by Qin Jun with canned food. The mountain Qiang tribes have wars all the year round, and various tribal wars continue, naturally there will be a large number of prisoners of war. Generally speaking, prisoners of war have to be exchanged after the war, or they become slaves, but as the transaction with the Qin army unfolded, these prisoners of war It became the goods in exchange for the materials in the hands of the Qin army. In fact, the Qin Army also needs some chores to do some trivial tasks, such as digging trenches or building roads. These things require labor, and the soldiers of the Qin Army are not willing to do it. Such labor holds a few cans. It can be exchanged for a prisoner of war, because the Qin Jun's treatment is relatively high. At least the food should be better there. Some prisoners of war are still willing to stay here.
"These prisoners of war must be handled carefully. If something goes wrong, it will be tracked down. If we have nothing to do here, it's okay, but once something goes wrong, it will be difficult for us to decide." Shen Wei said solemnly.
"Yes, sir, we all know this. But it is a bit embarrassing for everyone to spend time here every day." The fifth squat said on the ground.
"Well. We really have to think of a way, we can't go on like this anymore." Shen Wei stood up and said.
"But this place is very poor. There is no money at all. There is not much oil and water." The old fifth continued. Shen Wei nodded, then turned to look into the distance, but gradually he saw the mountain Qiang slaves digging trenches. Shen Wei suddenly thought of something.
