The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

The Palace of the Prime Minister of the State of Qin.

"The requirements of the Xindawan government forwarded by Li Xin indicate that the demand for roads has increased and the problems that must be solved have come up. They have developed a large number of minerals, which are piled up like a mountain but cannot be sold. In addition, they need a variety of materials For example, food, daily necessities, and financial conditions are not very good. Such a situation is very difficult for the Xindawan government." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"The worst problem is that they still have to face security issues. The staff and the telegram sent by Meng Tian said that they have such a worry that the Anthropods will directly bypass the Qin Expeditionary Army's defense line to the hinterland of the new Dawan government. In that case, their losses will be very large. Meng Tian’s view is to arm the militia. Let their population be concentrated in the town. Use street fighting to defend and turn the town into a defensive fortress. However, firearms, our logistics The supply is extremely disadvantageous, because their traffic conditions are very bad, and it is difficult for us to solve this problem, let alone the Xindawan side." Shang Wen said.

"But I think that Xindawan is of great significance to our construction. For example, their minerals are very important to the industry we develop. They can provide sufficient mineral resources. Moreover, in agriculture In terms of trade, they can also provide more arable land. These are their advantages. In terms of trade, the railway developed by Xindawan is even more advantageous. They can be directly close to the country of Parth. The demand for peace is very large for our materials. This, I think, our Qin State can do it." Meng Tian suggested.

"It's true, but we must build a railway. I think that the construction of this railway is less difficult and should be able to get greater investment demand. This is where we need it most." Shang Wen said. In contrast, the development of the Yueshi area is very difficult. Because it is a mountainous area, the cost of building a railway is very high. Only the government can complete such a project. Qin State has such difficulties in the construction of the Bashu railway. This railway is barely open until now, but the later maintenance still needs the government. Provide a lot of financial support. Without such support, the railway would still be unable to do this.

While the Qin government was discussing how to resolve Dawan's affairs, the Qin Expeditionary Army ushered in an unexpected guest.

"My name is Sirius. You are called the negotiator on the rest side." Sirius Gao Tang raised his head, and the soldiers of the Qin Army looked at him with extreme dissatisfaction. This guy was almost shot and killed, if he hadn't been lucky enough to go back and forth. If he dodges, his guard will not be so lucky. Was killed by a single shot. Finally, a sergeant Qin army stepped forward and stabbed him to death with a bayonet.

"Negotiating?" Tu Meng asked as an officer from the headquarters.

"Yes, let's negotiate. I think we have a big misunderstanding with your country. We attacked the Dawan people. We always thought you were Dawan people until we settled on Dawan, especially after the most recent offensive. , We realized the problem." Sirius explained. But his eyes flickered from side to side, and it was obvious that the other party was lying. But Tu Meng did not plan to continue.

"What are your requirements?" Tu Meng asked.

"We just want to keep peace with you. We have no malice. We have no plan to attack you. We want to keep peace. That's all. In addition, we want to keep trade with you. Your weapons are what we need most. We need them so much. We have no ammunition for our weapons. Of course. We hope that the price can be cheaper. After all, without the nasty middleman, the Dawan people have been killed by us." Sirius said.

"Oh." Tu Meng felt that the other party was very unfriendly, and this unfriendly feeling made him very disgusted with the other party.

"Allow me to explain that we are very optimistic about your weapons. I think this is your greatest invention in Qin. Those Dawan people who were killed by us, they gave us such a sharp weapon. We need such weapons. For example, we need to eat. Therefore, we hope to start trading with you, especially the arms trade. If necessary, I still hope that you can teach us how to manufacture. We are for peace. Come." Sirius said.

"Okay. We know about this. You can go down." Tu Meng was unwilling to continue talking to the other party. Then left. Tu Meng was very disgusted with such a person.

"Negotiating?" Tu Sui asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the main purpose of negotiations is still arms. They need a lot of arms. Their reason for killing the Dawan people is that the Dawan people gave a high median price, so they killed the Dawan people, and they hoped Can deal directly with us." Tu Meng said.

"However, I am worried that he is here to test our reality. After all, there is a larger blank space behind us, and they can completely go around." Tu Meng said worriedly.

"You just don't need to look at him, the other party knows how to do it. Perhaps the Resting Cavalry has already done this." Tu Sui said naturally.

"They are all cavalry, they will naturally look for the weak points of the flanks, the cavalry is originally the flanking troops to attack." Tu Sui said.

"Negotiations, **** negotiations, if they attract us, if they attack from the flanks, we will be in trouble." Tu Sui said worriedly.

"What do you think?" Tu Sui asked.

"I think they seem to value our weapons very much and they seem to have the intention of negotiating with us, but I think we should wait for the other side quietly. If the other side bypasses us and reaches the rear, then they will directly attack. Negotiations are just a test for us. If the other party does not do this, I think we can accept it. Of course, we can reach a ceasefire negotiation with them in advance and stabilize on a solid line of defense. After all, the Dawan government is behind us. Although they are a new government, from a political point of view, they need us Qin. If we cannot guarantee their safety, the situation will be very bad for the Prime Minister's Mansion." Tu Meng analyzed.

"Yeah. You are right. Do what you mean. What we need to do is wait and stabilize the current situation. Other things are beyond our control." Tu Sui said.

Yan country, solitary bamboo.

"Goguryeo needs a lot of ships. I know these." Prince Dan said.

"But they have to have sufficient funds to buy. I heard that the gold has been given to the people of Qin, and their gold output has dropped greatly. The labor of the Goguryeo people is in Zhao, and they make money in Zhao, even though they are all hard money. , But the Goguryeo people still have a lot of funds to do this. Without funds, how can they solve the problem of ships?" Prince Dan asked.

"Prince. Koguryo's proposal is that they can provide a large amount of mining rights, as long as we have such rights, we can mine more gold, iron ore, and possibly coal resources." The Minister of Finance said.

"We have jointly opened an iron factory in Xiangping. It's just that the iron production capacity of the iron factory is not very high, and mining requires a lot of pulling power. We Yan people are doing it, and the effect is not very obvious. The funds are huge." Prince Dan said distressedly.

Xiangping Iron Works is a joint project between Yan and Zhao. Xiangping’s rich iron ore resources allow the construction of iron plants here. However, Yan’s iron plants cannot compete with Zhao, and the entire Liaodong market is small. , The iron produced by Xiangping could not be sold at once, which made Yan Guo very embarrassed.

"This." The Minister of Finance could not explain this economic problem either.

"It doesn't matter. We can solve the problem of funding through the stock market. Although I saw that the Zhao Guo stock market has fallen sharply before, it has also risen sharply recently. I think the funding problem can be solved." Dan thought for a moment and said.

"In addition, the iron produced by the iron factory can produce railroad tracks. I think, because Goguryeo will build railways, the demand for iron is very large. We need a lot of iron ore and coal. This is for us, It is very useful. Therefore, I think it can be taken up.” Prince Dan said something contradictory or nervous. The ministers of Yan State are used to this.

In the Xiangping Iron Plant, Zhao Guo only invested a large amount of coal, coke, and only a small part of the capital, while Yan Guo had to bear a large amount of capital, land, and labor, because they needed to provide a large amount of iron ore, although iron The output of Yan Guo suddenly exceeded the total historical sum of Yan, but the demand for iron did not increase much. In addition to the single product, they only produced iron ingots and then transported them to Handan, Zhao State for processing. Therefore, Yan Guo’s Xiangping Iron Factory made a profit It is very weak. Under such circumstances, Prince Dan believes that costs should be further reduced, and having more iron ore, gold, and coal mining rights becomes the next goal. Prince Dan’s ideas are a bit blind, but the situation in Yan State is indeed the case. Many officials don’t know much about the economy, nor do they know how to develop the economy. For a country like Goguryeo, they don’t think it is a market, because they have never I haven't thought about it this way. Yan Guo's thinking is very conservative, which makes them unable to do many things. On the issue of Goguryeo, Yan State is in an extremely bad situation.
