The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"My lord, the minister thinks that there is another very important thing." Shang Wen said at this time.

"What?" King Qin asked.

"Railway. Railway transportation." Shang Wen added.

"Well. The prime minister doesn't say it. The widows have also forgotten. If you want to quickly deploy troops and complete the assembly task, you must use railway transportation. Without railway transportation, many combat tasks cannot be completed." King Qin said.

"It's just that the railway project requires a lot of funds. Now it is wartime and the time required is very tight. The widows are worried that neither Yan Guo nor Zhao Guo can afford such things." King Qin said worriedly.

"It is not a simple matter to build a railway." King Qin continued.

"My lord, the minister is also worried about this. Therefore, the minister hopes that Zhao and Yan can work together to complete this matter as quickly as possible. Now the war is urgent. The railway is related to the further development of the Liaodong war. "Shang Wen said worriedly.

"Master Wang." At this moment, Wang Jian stood up and said.

"My lord, the minister believes that this matter should be very fast. There are railway connections from Handan to Yandu, as well as parts of western Liaoning. What we need is to connect the railway between Xiangping and western Liaoning. This section The journey should not be long." Wang Jian proposed.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded. Show that you agree with this view.

"The specific method, the widow should leave it to the prime minister." King Qin looked at Shang Wen and said.

"Yes, King." Shang Wen wondered how to solve this matter. If the government finances, neither Yanzhao nor Yanzhao will have sufficient funds to complete this project.

Inside the prime minister's house.

"How to accomplish this task and the current logistics issues have already affected the victory of this war." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"I know, but I can't help it." Shang Wen said.

"We can only see how the government of Zhao and the government of Yan do this." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"Let them do it themselves? How much can they do?" Meng Yi asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, maybe they have an accident." Shang Wen said lightly. Despite some worries, Shangwen still thinks that Zhao Guo and Yan Guo are aware of this problem. After all, such problems cannot happen to them.

Zhao State of Handan. In the Handan Prime Minister's Mansion.

"The current situation is like this. If we want to solve the problem of Yan State and Liaodong, we must face a key issue. Transportation." Li Mu said to his cabinet members. There are also representatives of Qin State Wenyang Bank and other principals of Qin State’s main banks. They were invited to attend this meeting. In addition, there is Yan Guo’s new Finance Minister Ike. He is a graduate of Qin State Xianyang Business College. Young, outstanding working ability, with three months of banking experience. The original Minister of Finance of the State of Yan has been unable to help the State of Yan with more financial problems. After the tax revenue of the country of Yan was greatly reduced, many departments were no longer functioning normally. The government of the country of Yan was almost shut down during the war. This forced Prince Dan to replace the original Minister of Finance. He hoped to achieve this by replacing the Minister of Finance. Solve financial problems.

"We need a large amount of railway transportation to ensure the delivery of our military materials and the delivery of our soldiers. And these ultimate goals are Xiangping." Li Mu said.

"However, our current railway can only reach parts of western Liaoning. We can't reach eastern Liaoning at all. When materials and personnel arrive in western Liaoning, they can no longer be transported. We can only rely on horse-drawn carriages and manpower to transport them. Our operations have brought great inconvenience. This is extremely detrimental to future operations. Now, we are discussing and solving such a problem." Li Mu said.

Just after Li Mu had finished talking about this, all the people present except Li Mu looked at Yan Guo’s Finance Minister, because this had a lot to do with Yan State.

"This problem needs to be solved by the country of Yan. We can't solve it at all. We can't build a railway on the land of the people of the country of Yan." Finance Minister Zhao said, shaking his head.

Everyone didn't know what to say after hearing such words.

"We will solve the matter of Yan State." At this moment, Yi Ke stood up and said.

"We in Yan State can issue a large number of bonds to make up for the problem of insufficient financial returns." Yike continued.

"Bond?" asked everyone in the room puzzled after they looked at each other.

"Yes, we plan to issue bonds. The mortgage is the iron ore mining rights in the Xiangping area." Yike stood up and said.

"Railway construction, we will learn from the people of Qin, on both sides of the railway, within two hundred steps, all belong to the income of the railway. In this way, the railway construction will have a lot of motivation. If the railway is built in Xiangping, I think , The benefits there will be huge. Under such benefits, I think many people will not refuse, of course. We can give more discounts to the total points." Yi Ke said with a smile.

"I think that with the need for such development, we can issue large bonds. Regarding the potential of such bond underwriting and the potential of issuance, I think it is still possible." Yi Ke introduced with a smile. Ike does not want to say too much about the specific details, because it involves the next plan and plan of the Yan government. Yan State plans to use the development of Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula as incentives to issue a large number of bonds. As long as they hold such a large number of bonds, they can obtain the right to develop these places. In this way, Yan State has a large amount of financial funds to enter it. This is the first ring proposed by Ike.

Then there is the second link. The second link is the exchange of bonds into stocks. This time, attending such a meeting is not the main purpose. His purpose is to prepare for the second link. The exchange of bonds for stocks actually meant that the Yan government lost its ability to repay, and then the collateral was given to those who bought these bonds, and then those who held the bonds changed from bonds to shareholders. And the last beneficiary of this shareholder, this second link. The purpose of Ike’s trip is to enable Zhao Guo and Yan Guo to jointly establish a development company to develop the above-mentioned areas, and use shares to offset these bonds after Yan Guo defaults. At the same time when new shares are issued. The Yan government can receive the benefits of development. This is a typical scheme of replacing old bonds with new bonds, or replacing old bonds with shares. This scheme is called the revolving door in Qin's economics. Because he solves all bond problems like a revolving door. This revolving door solution is available in Qin's economics textbook, but it is strange that Qin has never used it. No one will know the reason for this, but now Ike used such a plan to impress their prince, and took over as the Minister of Finance of the State of Yan at a young age.

"Are the Yan people crazy? Who knows what they think." Everyone said without knowing why. In their opinion, the young Minister of Finance of Yan State made things too simple.

"If the issuance of bonds can solve all the problems, then we, Zhao Guo, can also issue more bonds to solve these problems." Zhao Guo's Finance Minister said dissatisfied. In his opinion, young people are still young people, their ideas are too bold, but in fact there are still big problems.

"Okay. Let's not talk about it. This time, we are mainly to solve the problem of building the railway. If there is no problem with the funds of Yan State, we can provide more resources to build this railway. We expect, This railway will take at least one month to complete. At present, the people of Qin have been willing to send some marines to delay the offensive of the Goguryeos. In Xiangping, they will build strong fortifications to resist the offensives of the Goguryeos." Li Mu said. To.

"However, in this month, when the country of Yan leaves people, we, the country of Zhao, will also provide funds, personnel, and material convenience. In order to make the railway construction as successful as possible, we must at least advance to a distance of about fifty miles from Xiangping. Go up." Li Mu said solemnly.

"This task is not easy. The straight-line distance from West Liaoning to Xiangping is more than four hundred miles, and the progress of the project needs to be quite fast." Li Mu's defense minister first felt that the pressure was not small.

"The difficulty is not small." The Minister of Finance also felt that the project was relatively difficult.

"This meeting is to discuss this issue. If there is a problem, everyone must raise it without reservation." Li Mu continued.

The meeting continued, discussing how to speed up the progress of the project. As for the way Qin people tried to obstruct, Li Mu also proposed. The time that Qin people can buy is also very limited. If necessary, Zhao Jun will also participate in it.

The meeting mainly discussed some detailed issues. For example, during the construction, Zhao Guo dispatched engineers to guide, especially for some special road sections that require blasting. Zhao Guo engineers provide blasting. Yan Guo provided a large number of personnel to ensure the progress of the project. As for other aspects, after the project started, further discussion and settlement were made.

"Can you really solve the problem of funding for the country of Yan?" Li Mu approached the Minister of Finance of Iraq and asked this question worriedly.

"Yes. We can solve this problem, but we need the help of the people of Qin. Yan Guo issued a large number of government bonds to solve this problem. As for how to solve this problem, this still needs the help of the people of Zhao." Yi Ke said.

"What help?" Li Mu asked curiously.

"The governments of Yanzhao and the two governments jointly established the Liaobei and Korean Peninsula Development and Trade Company to jointly develop Liaobei and the Korean Peninsula. The Yan Kingdom will use Liaodong's iron ore mining rights as a mortgage." Yike said.

"Of course. If Zhao Guo wants to continue to build the iron plant, we can support it, and the revenue rights of the railway part can also be transferred, but we, Yan Guo, must own a certain proportion of the shares. This proportion is about 3%. About ten. But not less than 25%. This is our bottom line." Ike said.

"This is the capital you rely on?" Li Mu suddenly realized the Yan Guoren's attempt.

"Yes, this is our capital, and we need to use this capital to solve all problems." Ike said with a smile.

"Well, after you get the funds you want from the people of Qin, we can talk about all of our issues." Li Mu thought for a while and said.

"Yeah. Yes, but I think we have to complete the company registration process now. We need to go public as soon as possible. Only in this way can we complete the next profitable projects for many companies." Ike said at this time. .

"You must know that in the final step, releasing a large number of shares is what we most hope to do." Yike said. Hearing such words, Li Mu felt a little strange. Although strange, Li Mu still didn't understand what the other party meant.

"Okay. Prime Minister, I am here very tight. I need to complete all the tasks and meet the people of Qin before we can further develop our next project and plans. I'm sorry." Ike left at this time. Li Mu nodded. He doesn't understand what Yan people do now.

"What are the young people thinking now?" Li Mu said after watching Ike leave.

A Qin army checkpoint on the southern border of the Western Regions of the Qin State.

"Where did these dark-skinned slaves come from?" Wang Zhao asked a slave trader curiously. He was carrying a shotgun and he was holding a whip to watch the dark-skinned slaves.

"Oh. Sir. These slaves are all traded with the Yueshi people. These slaves are very cheap. As long as you can get a lot of guns and ammunition, we can get these slaves as long as we **** the ammunition to the past. It was captured by the Yue family." The slave trader with a shotgun smiled and replied.

"The people of the Yue family are at war?" Wang Zhao asked.

"Yes, the Yue people are at war." The slave trader confirmed.

"Who are they fighting?" Wang Zhao immediately asked the second question.

"Oh. This. It's very simple. They fought against the Peacock dynasty in the south. It was a very large empire with a large population and very many vassal tribes. Although the weapons and equipment were almost less than that of the Parthian nation, but Compared with the muskets in our hands, they are far behind. I heard that there were more than 100 people from the Yue family, and they captured more than 500 prisoners. There are even more amazing achievements. Also, there are many people in the south, not like that. In the north, the Tocharians and the rest of the people are warlike themselves. Fighting with them is much more difficult. But compared with the dark-skinned people of the Maurya Dynasty. It is still very easy." said the slave trader. The so-called dark skin of the slave traders is actually relatively speaking. After all, they have not seen African blacks, and there are also white skins among the primitive tribes of the Maurya Dynasty in the south, but they are darker than them. So slave traders call it dark skin.

"Oh. That's it." Wang Zhao nodded at this time.

"Sir. This kind of business is a good deal," said the slave trader.

"Those expired arms can't be sold in Qin. They can only go to museums. And they produce some old products. Such products are only produced in countries like Wei and South Korea. I heard that some iron factories in Zhao State are also madly producing parts. Although many of them are unqualified, they can still be sold. Such things are very cheap. Then they are shipped to the Yue people. The Yue people have muskets. If we can seize more slaves, and then sell these slaves to the people of the railway company, we will make a lot of money at once." The slave trader said excitedly.

"I know this." Wang Zhao nodded and said.

"It's just how much you can earn from this. I see. I need to take a closer look. Look." Wang Zhao nodded. In fact, he has already moved his mind. How can he let go of the double-sale business like this? Yes, and there are really not many opportunities like this. He felt this was a very good opportunity.

"Okay. You hurry your people out of here. By the way. Your people should wash and bathe well, and don't spread any diseases. If you are sick, don't bring them in." Wang Zhao was a little impatient. Speaking of.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir." The slave trader was grateful at this time. After the slave trader left. Wang Zhao hurried to the telegraph mail room. He thinks this is an important business opportunity. After sending the telegram, he wants to return to Wang Ben as soon as possible, and he wants to report the matter in person.

In the camp of the important passage for the Yueshi people to go south.

"Hahaha." A burst of wild laughter came. Wei Dou walked in excitedly.

"What's the matter? My friend?" Meng Dong asked suspiciously.

"Hahahaha." Wei Dou laughed excitedly, and then jumped back and forth with Meng Dong in his arms as soon as he came up.

"My friend, what's the matter? What happened?" Meng Dong looked at Wei Dou at a loss. His body could only move back and forth with Wei Dou.

"Haha. We made a fortune. We broke into the city of the Maurya Dynasty." Wei Dou said excitedly.

"Oh. In that case, you have seized a lot of things, haven't you?" Meng Dong immediately guessed that Wei Dou must have seized a lot of trophies. Such a lot of trophies made him crazy. Meng Dong can only understand this way.

"It's not just these." Wei Dou said with a smile at this time.

"What?" Meng Dong then asked.

"We have captured a large number of prisoners. In addition to these, we also found a lot of gold, which is enough for us to buy a large number of artillery. Cannonballs, and more sharp weapons of your Qin State, we are rich. Our tribe Suddenly I am rich." Wei Dou said excitedly.

"Gold? How much gold do you have?" Meng Dong asked quickly at this time. I was really shocked by such a news. He did not expect that amazing gold would appear in a city of the Maurya Dynasty.

"I don’t know, we don’t have a count. Anyway, there are a lot of them. There are a lot of boxes. We have a lot of them. Not only us, but also a lot of soldiers. We searched for more gold from the wealthy people. I didn’t expect. The Maurya Dynasty was so rich, but their army did not have much combat effectiveness. We bombarded for three days, and their city was suddenly broken by us. They wanted to break through, but we were killed in. We killed them a lot. People, there are many women, gold, slaves, this time we made a fortune." Wei Dou said excitedly.

"You said, a small city of the Maurya Dynasty is so rich, their country, those big cities, how much money it has, we need to equip more troops to kill their city, in this way, we will have More slaves, gold. We Yue people can finally have a place to stay." Wei Dou said.

"Good brother, this good news is too important to us Yueshi people. We need to celebrate, warmly celebrate. I know that you still have good Qin Guojiu here. It doesn't matter. Looking at these, I bought it. Let's have a good time, your Qin people's wine. It's a good time." Wei Dou said excitedly. Then he took out a handful of gold jewelry from his pocket, including necklaces, earrings, and a large number of bracelets, all made of gold. Meng Dong looked curiously.

"This was just pulled from a woman from a noble family I killed. That woman was very dark, and I gave it to my subordinates. However, I took all the gold from him. These things were given to me. You, I want to drink your wine." Wei Dou said with a smile.

"Okay. Okay. I'll get it for you." Meng Dong went to find a drink as he said. After getting the wine, Wei Dou drank it with big mouthfuls. People from the Yue family generally didn't like to drink such a strong wine because it was too strong. They like to drink wine, which is milder and sweeter, while Qin’s wine is too strong and easy to get drunk. Now what Wei Dou needs is a big drunk. He wants to use his drunkenness to personally make the important discoveries of his tribe. .

Wei Dou, who was drinking heavily, soon fell drunk on Meng Dong's camp bed. And Meng Dong was very shocked by the news today. Originally thought that the Yue people could get a large number of slaves when they launched an offensive battle. Unexpectedly, there is still a lot of gold in this place, and judging from the amount seized today, there should be a lot of gold, especially those jewelry. The number is so large that it surpasses Meng Dong's knowledge.

"If this news is sent to the country, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of gold fever all at once." Meng Dong said while looking at the jewelry in his hand. Some of the jewellery still has blood stains on it, which can be rubbed off with your hands. Obviously, it has not been contaminated for a long time, but it has not been long.

"But that's okay. Being rich in the Yue family is of great benefit to us. At least we don't have to worry too much about the Yue family not paying for arms." Meng Dong said at this time.

"Okay. This news will be sent back to China. How to do it is our Qin people's business." Meng Dong said. Although Qin is not short of gold, gold still has its value as a hard currency, especially in places like Yueshi people. They are the only currency that can trade with Qin people. Qin’s half-two banknotes are not too circulating. Gold The role is still obvious. These places happen to be good places for gold to be imported into Qin.
