The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 2400: Guns are not as good as a piece of torn silk

Bangla State among the population of Chu State.

Bangla Bay. The Mengla River washes this place. Because of the southwest monsoon and its location in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, the rainfall here is extremely abundant and the agriculture here is extremely developed. And there are more and more Chu ships staying here. In just ten days, a large number of Chu State ships gathered here, and the port here suddenly expanded a lot.

Many Menggla people gather here, especially businessmen, because the Chu people who came here have a lot of things they have never seen before.

In order to facilitate the development of trade, the Menggla people gave the Chu people some land with special favor, but it was only the land to live in. Many Chu people came here to find a new piece of land to develop their plantations, but now It seems that they can only gather here. Because there are many people in Mengla. And they just arrived, their strength is too weak. It is simply unable to take a larger-scale military offensive against the Menglais.

"You have seen the situation here. There are many people in Bangla. We have calculated that this city-state has about a hundred thousand people. The army has suddenly expanded to more than 50,000 people, and there are also elephants. For the unclear boat, if there are a few city-states nearby, an army of more than 200,000 people will gather at once. The number is too large. We are simply unable to defeat these Menglais." Li Man said. He is the captain of the Chu State Flying Eagle.

"Yes, the weather here is too humid. I heard that this is still not the rainy season. If it's the rainy season, my goodness. Our muskets can't be killed at all. The most important thing is that there is not enough manpower. We only have a few hundred people. The army simply can’t beat those Mengla people. There are tens of thousands of Mengla people. Counting bullets, we can only shoot and kill one person. We are barely able. I think our chances of winning are a bit too low.” said Musketeer Xiang Zi To.

"That is, the artillery problem is also difficult to solve. We need to build a fort, but you can see. There are still Menglais on the shore. They are very sensitive to the existence of our army. Therefore, we are unlikely to go ashore directly, if we go ashore directly. There are many problems. We need to spend a lot of money to buy arms to gain a foothold in this place. The time, materials, and logistical assistance required are all astronomical numbers. This is extremely detrimental to us." Captain Flame Sima Zhuang shook his head and said. He considered the problems after the war started. After the war started, it was absolutely detrimental to them, because if the war started, a lot of financial assistance would be needed, especially the consumption of firearms was a huge problem. They needed to be transported here from the distant Chu country to sail. There are thousands of miles away, and it is extremely inconvenient to start a war. Moreover, they do not have an advantage in numbers. Various circumstances have to make him reconsider the current situation.

"That's right, no matter how powerful our artillery is, it can't kill many people. If we can't stand our heels, this problem will be very difficult to solve." Yu Lun said. He is the artillery captain of the Flying Eagle. He directs the firing of the artillery. Although artillery is a weapon with a special mass destruction, they dare not act rashly in the face of Bangla, which is not dominant in numbers, because once they can’t do it well. If so, no one can stay in this place. They need something that can cost the least and get the most benefit.

"What to do?" said the deputy commander of the Flame.

"Our only way is to do business with them, or we can buy some land." At this time, the teacher proposed such an approach.

"Are we rich? Buying artillery and getting more on board has exhausted all of our homes." Sima Zhuang said.

"This, we have nothing to do." Li Man said, shaking his head.

"Oh, all of you are here." At this time, Chu merchant Fan Qiejin said.

"What are you doing here?" Li Man is very disgusted with this Chu businessman, because this guy is often shoddy in his business.

"Oh. This time, I'm here to buy some arms and recruit a few people by the way. I already have a large piece of land." Fan Qie said with a relaxed smile.

"Why? Did you spend a lot of money on it?" Sima Zhuang asked in a contemptuous tone.

"Haha, do you still need to buy it?" Fan Qi said with a relaxed smile.

"I can trade those lands with a few pieces of silk. Tell you." Fan Qie said with a smile.

"The Lord of Menggla likes the silk I provided to them very much. The silk is in such a place, regardless of the amount of water, but it is damp. Their fabrics are very inconvenient to use. They can become very inconvenient to use. Relax, silk is needed here too much. Silk is a thing that does not make money in Chu State, but it is very important here." Fan Qie said.

"I still have to discuss something with you. As long as you return to Chu State and bring back a lot of silk, I will give you land, women, and gold. There is a lot of gold here." Fan Qi said braggingly.

"Is this guy sick?" Xiang Zi scolded. He most saw the face of a profiteer like a businessman. Because he knew that this was the case of the other party. Once they bought the arms provided by the other party because the price was cheap, but when they bought it, they discovered that the propellant of the shells was damp and could not be used at all. The most deadly bullets, most of them It's all rusty. Some firearms were all Qin army, Chu army eliminated the goods, because of the long-term lack of maintenance, they have reached the state of having to be scrapped. They spent money to buy a bunch of tatters, so they hated merchants extremely.

"What you said is true?" Sima Zhuang asked.

"Of course. The favorite of Bangladesh is silk. You have seen it. Their nobles like it very much and they have submitted a large number of orders. I am going to make a fortune. Be rich. The Lord of Bangladesh is very rich today. He was so happy that he rewarded me with a large piece of land. The land is scary. I need people, and I need a lot of people to farm.” Fan Qie said very excitedly.

When everyone was emigrating with labor tools, seeds, and all kinds of daily necessities, only Fan Qi alone held silk and mirrors imported from Qin. These things are not expensive, but there are few things. He felt that when he arrived in a new place, he would definitely get rich. Therefore, he kept holding this thing.

After coming here, he immediately sought out local people, actively learned the local words, gave some silk to buy people around the king, and then offered silk to the king. The country of Bangla was originally wet and rainy. Under humid weather, the local people The cotton cloth used is extremely sticky, and the effect is not very good, but the silk is breathable, and most importantly, it can be smooth. For the nobles, it is simply the most needed commodity. In addition, things like mirrors are very angry. The concubine given to the king was also very much needed, so Fan Qi suddenly got the king's appreciation and gave a large piece of land, which made the captains who were actively planning to use force to seize the other's land feel very helpless. Because the other party only used the very cheap silk in Chu country and they got what they wanted most.

"In addition, some of your muskets are also given to me. These things are not available in Bangladesh at all. Therefore, selling them is the most cost-effective business. The gold here, forget it. I didn't say." Realize. He seemed to tell the secret of making money. Some regrets. Regret that you shouldn't have such a big mouth, why do you say so much? As long as he keeps on doing it well, he will definitely be able to make a fortune, and he won't say it anymore. Then he left in a hurry.

"Have you heard?" Sima Zhuang said.

"What?" Li Man asked.

"This guy is the real way to make money. We spend a lot of money and may not be able to get things, and let him get a few pieces of broken silk. This man, really fucking, is a business man." Sima Zhuang Scolded. But there are a lot of praises in the tone of the other party, because the other party did what they wanted to do but did not do. For example, they wanted to get the other party, but they did not think of using silk at all, because this thing is not applicable and it is not as good as Qin. The fabrics made of Chinese blended materials are so strong and durable, and things like silk are not suitable for them, but it is this kind of inapplicability. There are many things in Chu country. Since a lot of land has been exchanged here, the most polite Yes, he can still get a lot of gold.

"There must be a lot of gold here. The guns and artillery of us are not enough to fight the Mengla people. We might as well go back to the country directly and bring a lot of silk, tea, guns and artillery. If this is the case, we will make a fortune. "Sima Zhuang said excitedly.

"But when we went back, it was an empty boat. We can't do this." Xiang Zi said.

"It's very simple, people are what we need most. We can arrest people, men can't, women can also, anyway people can sell money, Qin people need people, Koreans also need people, arrest, no matter how many arrests." Sima Zhuang decided to arrest. .

"Well, we will sell the weapons in our hands today, then quickly buy people, and then transport them back." Others decided to arrive. In this way, the Chu people opened the Indian market door in a very unintentional move. And this market is extremely broad and attractive, because there is a large population, gold is almost the wealth in hand, and the Indian aristocracy needs a lot of luxury goods. In addition, weapons of war are also what they must need, because weapons can bring a sense of security. If a war breaks out between them, it may be extremely fierce. This is what they most want to see. There is another by-product of war, prisoners of war. They are the largest source of slaves. With these slaves, they can trade more silk.
