The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"What are you talking about?" Newton asked curiously. He felt that the Qin officer must have noticed something, something he hadn't noticed.

"Sir, I think we are worried about the newly formed military. There are many communication problems. Our mobility is very strong, but mobility requires us to decentralize operations. This is prone to major communication problems. During the rapid maneuvers, the battlefield situation changes rapidly. If we cannot understand these situations in time, or if we change some deployments, if our army cannot make adjustments, the situation will be very bad." Bai Chen said.

"Yeah." Newton nodded. He feels that this proposal is very constructive. They are regiment-level combat units, and they often perform scattered combat missions. As a result, it is difficult to ensure the integrity of their organizational system. In addition, these are recruits and they have too little experience, which can easily cause trouble.

But for such a thing, Newton has not yet a good solution.

"Well, this matter, let's look at the results of the exercise, and then talk about it, can it?" Newton said.

"Yes, sir." Everyone nodded. This concludes the meeting.

Northern Xinjiang, inside Li Xin's headquarters.

"Grow cotton? Can these flowers be sold? A soldier of mine let us grow flowers. That's what a woman can do." Li Xin shook his head when he heard the advice of his staff, because he felt it. It's a job that women can do. His subordinates could really think that they came up with such a suggestion.

"Oh, no, sir, you got me wrong." Li Tong explained immediately.

"Cotton is a crop that can produce the same kind of catkins. At present, Qin's smokeless powder guns need a large amount of such catkins. But Qin has no such crops, only willows can provide, but the output is very scarce. Cotton can provide this kind of cotton. And the output is very huge. As long as some land, we can produce a lot to meet our weapons needs." Li Tong explained.

"Oh. Is that right?" Li Xin asked curiously. He knows the power of the smokeless gunpowder bullets. This type of bullet is powerful, has a long range, and has very little gunpowder residue. This type of bullet is liked by the Qin army officers and soldiers, but the cost is very expensive. The amount of equipment in a year is very limited. In many cases, the officers and soldiers of the Qin Army still need to use black powder and bullets. Although Qin's chemists are already looking for the ideal gunpowder, this problem is still unsolved, because the cost cannot be solved if new gunpowder is used.

"Is this thing you said true?" Li Xin doubted.

"It's true. Sir." Li Tong said.

"I have some samples here, the sir can take a look." Then Li Tong took out the samples that Wang De gave him.

"This is cotton for nothing. This is the smokeless gunpowder we use now." Li Tong explained.

"Cotton can produce cotton wool, can be very nitrified to obtain smokeless gunpowder, what we need to do now is to promote this cotton. But our people still don't know the cotton planting situation, otherwise, business It's very difficult to do." Li Tong suggested.

"Yeah." Li Xin looked at Cotton. He watched repeatedly.

"Therefore, my suggestion is to plant abroad, especially on the plains within the territory of Dawan. We have learned that there are abundant land resources there, water sources are also sufficient, and the conditions are all satisfied. As long as we plant on a large scale, we will It can solve all the problems. Sir." Li Tong said.

"What you said, I understand. We only need to grow cotton on a large scale in that place, can we do it?" Li Xin asked.

"Yes. Sir." Li Tong nodded.

"But we don't have much money, and that's it, we don't know how to grow cotton." Li Xin still has some concerns.

"Sir, we only need to control and solve the land problem," Li Tong reminded.

"Oh. That's right. We are soldiers, as long as we control the land. That's it." Li Xin nodded and said.

"Just do it, think of a way, but before we have to tell the prime minister's house, let them know what we are going to do?" Li Xin said.

"As for the idea of ​​the staff, they don't know much about the economy." Li Xin said.

The telegram was quickly sent to the Ministry of National Defense, because the Western Regions were the first strategic direction, and the processing speed of telegrams in this direction was faster than in other directions.

"This Li Xin can really think about it." Wei Liao looked at Li Xin's telegram and said.

"What's wrong?" Meng Tian asked.

"Grow cotton, they want to grow cotton in Dawan," Wei Liao said.

"This cotton can make a large number of smokeless powder guns. As long as it is promoted, our bullet problem will be solved." Wei Liao said.

"But why don't we plant them in the territory of Qin? Wouldn't it be a little safer, you know, in the territory of Qin, it is much safer." Meng Tian said.

"Yeah. I also understand this, but Li Xin's method must be monopolizing. They want to expand their interests. And launch military operations on this." Wei Liao said.

"This one needs to strictly control them, and let the merchants go in the forefront. It is not that we are in the forefront." Meng Tian said.

"Well, we also need to grow some other cotton in our country to meet the most basic needs, and leave the rest to them. Let them do this by themselves." Wei Liao thought about it and said.

"I think it's better to deal with it this way," Meng Tian said.

"Cultivation of cotton, if it can generate a lot of demand, this may also be an economic motivation." Meng Tian continued.

"Yeah. You are right, this is also a very good economic motivation. This matter has exceeded Li Xin's authority. We can tell the prime minister and let them decide what to do." Wei Liao said. Then Wei Liao asked his assistant to hand over the report to Shang Wen.

"Well, it's good to plant cotton in Dawan," Shang Wen said after reading the report.

"In this way, Qin's ammunition problem can be solved, not only these, but also control some areas." Shang Wen said.

"Perhaps, cotton is the kind of cash crop we need. This cash crop can meet the needs of most of us." Shang Wen said. Then Shangwen dealt with the report. His instructions were to let most merchants in as much as possible. No mention was made of domestic production of cotton.
