The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

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

"Tu Sui said that Anxi hopes to trade with us. They are very afraid of our Qin army's military strength, so their military operations are extremely limited. Therefore, they hope to negotiate with us." Wei Liao reported to Shangwen.

"Peace talks?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yes, peace talks. They hope that we can sell them a large amount of military weapons. According to the information we have received. Especially based on the information sent by Meng Tian, ​​the Parthians seem to have launched a greater offensive against Cyrus to the west. . So they hope to have a huge advantage in weapons." Wei Liao said to Shang Wen.

"In this regard, we can export some weapons to them. After all, they have such a need. At the same time, if the peace talks are successful, the current state of the new Dawan government can be effectively guaranteed. After all, their situation is very bad. If it happens, it will be very bad. If there is a large-scale riot, the situation will be very serious." Wei Liao said to Shangwen.

"The opinion of the Ministry of National Defense is to accept their peace talks?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yes, we think that the current peace talks are of great significance. After all, from the actual control area of ​​the Lixin Ministry to the Xindawan government, there is still a great improvement in traffic conditions. From the current point of view, this season may have to wait until the fourth. Months later, four months is very dangerous. Once the Resting Cavalry bypasses the defense line of the Qin Expeditionary Army, which has extremely limited defense, they will be surprised to find that the defense is so empty that they can launch an attack. However, from another point of view, the winter warfare launched by the Parthians has consumed a lot of their military strength. Coupled with the extension of the combat distance, they may have been unable to launch an attack again, but this is just a speculation. If the other party really detours us There is nothing we can do to the rear of the expeditionary army." Wei Liao said.

"Yeah. It seems that we only have a way to negotiate with them." Shang Wen said.

"On the other side are the Tocharians. Judging from the attitude of the Tocharians, the Tocharians seem to be unwilling to have direct contact with the Parthians. Their military strength is small and their national power cannot be expanded greatly. Their domestic resources It's not too big. Under such circumstances, they don't seem to be willing to launch further warfare." Wei Liao said.

"In other words, peace talks are imperative?" Meng Yi said from the side.

"Yes, there must be peace talks. We, Qin, don't want to have greater combat operations to affect Qin's trade. Several states in Qin have already complained. If we don't take action, I'm afraid." Wei Liao smiled. Speaking of laughter.

"Well, we can let Meng Tian handle this matter. We need a peaceful environment for trade. This peace ends here. The loss of a Dawan Kingdom is a situation that we all want to see. As for the future I think they need to solve their own frictions. At present, we need peace, and we will give them peace.” Shang Wen said. Wei Liao nodded. Meng Yi didn't nod his head. He was just thinking about the subsequent development of the situation. War is no longer a theme. What they need is more development opportunities, and only trade can further develop them.

Western, in the area of ​​Thailand today. Inside the Jing's Plantation.

"Don't worry about food. Grain is not a problem. It is very suitable for growing rice, so we can plant it on a large scale," Jing Liu said. He is the main person in charge of Jing's Plantation, the more steward.

"It's just that the food issue is not a problem. There are already many places where rice can be grown directly, and the rainfall is also very abundant. After we came here, we have had a harvest. However, we have too few people. The land here is very abundant. It's very fertile, but there are not enough people to cultivate. This is really very tricky." Jing Fang reported his problem embarrassingly.

"Yeah. Slaves, aren’t there slave ships coming here? Just use those slaves. Those slaves can be exchanged for food, or some local specialties. Don’t they have ivory or other things? In exchange, ours. The goal is millions of acres of land, the current land is too small." Jing Liu said.

The Jing clan is a large family among the nobles of Chu, but they also have many branches. In Chu, the Jing clan has a lot of power. They control the place of Chu, the central parliament, and even the finances of the Chu government. All rights must obey them, otherwise the Chu government won't get a penny at all.

In the middle of the process of external expansion, the Jing clan walked ahead of the nobles of the Chu Kingdom. They occupied the coastal areas of today’s Myanmar, as well as the western part of Thailand, and most of the coastal areas. They migrated a large number of offshoots of the Jing clan Reclamation, their land can be scary, but this still cannot meet their needs. Because their goal is tens of thousands of acres of land, the more these land, the better, they are traditional nobles, and they value agriculture and agricultural development very much.

"It's just that the demand for food is not very large. We should grow some other things, such as sugarcane, which can squeeze sugar. The domestic demand of Qin and Chu is very large. There are also tea, silk and other things that can be sold. For the Mengla people, only in this way can we have greater economic value. Blindly planting grain has little economic value.” Jing Fang proposed at this time.

"I know that some people have grown tea in Huangzhou, and the grafting technology from Qin is very easy to use, and the output is very large. These teas have already made a lot of money among the people in Mengla, but don’t forget. We have a lot of land. But this requires more manpower. In the depths of the forest, who knows if there are any **** aboriginal people, it is really annoying to think of them." Jing Liu said.

"This. I have a suggestion to solve this problem." Jing Fang said.

"Talk about it," Jing Liu said.

"We can import a large number of slaves from the Mengla people. Arm them and let them fight. We only need a few officers to control them. In addition to these, we have a large demand for slaves, and these slaves can also help us solve them. All questions." Jing Fang said.

"Yeah. It's just that there have been a lot fewer slave ships recently, do you know what happened?" Jing Liu said after listening. Regarding such a proposal, he had not thought that Chu was expanding rapidly, but a big problem was exposed. Although Chu had a large population, there were too many overseas colonies. Their demographic advantage is in the vast land, but it doesn't show up all of a sudden. The State of Chu urgently needed a large number of slaves to complete land reclamation and plantation activities. Otherwise, their economic park will suffer great losses, and the labor force that can be provided in the country is very limited, which has to make them move to nearby Bangladesh, where the population has a great advantage.

Chu State, Pengcheng.

"Look, these are telegrams sent by a few nobles. These telegrams come from their plantations. Their demand for slaves is very large." Fan Zeng said to Chen Ping, who returned to report.

"Slaves, do they all need a lot of slaves?" Chen Ping asked.

"Yes, and the demand is very big, and it is amazing. I don't know how to meet their needs. According to their report, there were still some Bangla slaves that could meet their needs. But after the war, this Part of the supply of slaves has decreased a lot, or simply disappeared. This directly led to a surge in demand for slaves. The situation of local agricultural resources is different from ours. They cultivated a lot of farmland, but they lacked enough labor to plant. Bangla slaves This can be done, and the local indigenous people will only destroy it. There are also some reports. They were obtained from Koreans.” Fan Zeng said, found a telegram and handed it to Chen Ping.

"Although there are a lot of Chu troops and a lot of labor in the country, when it comes to the West, it is nothing at all. The worst thing is that the army. We have too few people. The other party can gather tens of thousands of troops at once, and we can only Transporting thousands of people there is already our limit. We need local people to help us build our own army. At least they can solve many of our problems. I think we should learn from Qin and Qin people. It attracted the Huns, the Western Regions, the Yue people, and the mountain people to fight for them. However, we, Chu, are still the Chu people to fight on their own. In terms of military pay and scale, we have more advantages than Qin. I hope that we can open up this situation as soon as possible, or control one country and let them enslaves another country. In this way, our operations will be much simpler." Fan Zeng said.

"This is indeed a very good way, but I am afraid it is still difficult to do it. At least in terms of training, those Mengla people still have great difficulties. I heard that some businessmen have done this. But the result is very good. Not good." Chen Ping said worriedly. He felt that recruiting locals as servants of his own army was a good strategy. The people of Qin State did this, so that Qin State has more labor force for production. However, this also brings another problem, that is training. problem. The Ziqin army still has racial problems, such as the development of the army, and Chu seems to have such problems. But Fan Zeng doesn't seem to care about this.

"This will not be a problem. We can let the people of Zhao Guo solve these problems. They are very trained, they are very tactical, and we can do exactly what they want. We don't have to worry about this." Fan Zeng is very relaxed. Speaking of. Zhao Jun is a strong army, and their training methods are naturally very powerful.
