The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"At present, everyone knows that the demand for this slave is increasing." Song Ming said worriedly at his banquet. He was an aristocrat of the Chu Kingdom, but the land he occupies is mainly in today's Myanmar and Thailand, but most of it occupies coastal areas. However, these land has brought him a lot of benefits, but he is still not satisfied, thinking that his land should be more, he set the goal on the inland. Because the land there may be more fertile.

"Indeed, what Mr. Song said is that we have cultivated a lot of land, and we are not enough to grow it ourselves. The most terrible thing is that there are no slaves. Planting is always troublesome. We have to deal with the local indigenous people. It's really annoying." Huang Xiu shook his head and said below. He is also a nobleman, but he is a little nobleman. His whole family moved here. With the land here, he made a fortune. But his farm is his root. At present, his most important wealth comes from the farm. Unlike others who grow rice, the things he wants to grow are special, some sugarcane, because Qin needs very much, and the price of sugar is very high. It is expensive, and white sugar can also be used to make wine. This is what he discovered. Although grain can also be used to make wine, it is not as fast as sugar cane. Alcohol is in great demand for navigation. This is also the product of their main exchange of slaves. Although he has a large amount of sugar cane, the demand for slaves is very large.

The land of the nobles is increasing at an extremely rapid rate, because this is a land of no ownership, and many places can be cultivated as long as there are people. But now, what the nobles lack is slaves, a large amount of cheap labor.

"Everyone lacks these, but at present we can only buy from Bangla, and everyone knows about buying those Bangla slaves." Song Ming said.

"Mengla is currently at war, and the slaves of Mengla have indeed given us a great demand, but in the long run, our demand for slaves is still very large. If we cannot meet us properly, our farm will still be difficult to complete. Expansion.” Song Ming said worriedly.

There are many people in Chu, but after rapid expansion, the advantage of population is quickly offset by the advantage of vast territory. What the nobles of the Chu Kingdom have to solve now is how to make up for their demographic advantage. The only way is to import a large number of slaves in exchange. They only need to exchange goods from their farms. Such as wine, grain, sugar cane, and some tea in some places. Or some local specialties, ivory, spices and so on.

"I heard that quite a few pirates have turned into slave traders. They began to gather in large numbers, and then they went to the Western Continent. Not only is there a country of Bangla on the Western Continent, there are also many countries. There are hundreds of thousands or millions of people, but only a few thousand people. Those of us can do the same. The problem of ships is easy to say. I think we can buy or rent some ships. We have such ships. Let’s buy some more weapons, and the wealth we won is everyone’s spoils. I think it’s very good.” Huang Xiu’s younger brother, Huang Guang stood up and said.

"It's easy to say, how much does it cost? Do you know?" Huang Xiu shouted displeasedly to his brother. He felt that his brother's idea was too simple. Moreover, speaking very straightforwardly, it is easy to suffer.

"Yeah. I think Brother Huang Guang is right. We should do the same in our hands. Those slaves are not worth much money, and the pirates and slave traders have also made a lot of money. Most importantly, they They also sold some goods to Chu, so that they made a lot of money. Since the pirates and slave traders can make money, we can also make money. Today everyone is here to solve our slave problem." Song Ming Speaking of time.

"I think everyone needs slaves. Why don't we all contribute together to set up a trading company, and then everyone has money to pay, and some people come out. We buy ships, organize armed forces, and looting on the western continent. It’s good to do this unprofitable business.” Song Ming came up with his own views at this time. This is the purpose of his gathering of people here today. He wants to set up a business agency, which is a business agency on the surface. In fact, they are slave traders. In order to meet the needs of their farms and land reclamation, they need to gather a large number of armed forces to expand. This kind of expansion is obviously colonial. But they don't care about these, they need a lot of slaves, so naturally they need so much demand.

"It's just that, I think it's not enough even if everyone contributes money." Huang Xiu said worriedly.

"Haha. I said that dude is so dull at this time. We have a farm in our hands. With the farm, we can mortgage it to the bank. With the money, we can buy guns and cannons. It can be very profitable to do business without capital." Song Ming laughed. Speaking of.

Farms have become the biggest assets in the hands of these nobles, but these assets have not yet been transformed into effective capital power, which requires capital to complete, but fortunately there are a large number of banks in Chu State, which can meet their needs.

The domestic banks in the Chu state were very inadequate in their business. At most, they loaned some funds to allow the nobles to cultivate more farm land, but the business that really met the needs of Chu’s colonization did not develop much, such as buying more merchant ships , Weapons, and the organization of a large number of armed forces, etc., these were not achieved. The business stagnation of Chu Bank directly led to the delay in the promotion of Chu’s colonial policy.

However, the actions of the nobles of Chu State were not too late. At the same time, the merchants of Chu State were also actively acting, and their keen sense of smell was much more sensitive than that of the nobles.

Chu State. Pengcheng.

"Hey, Brother Li, what are you doing in such a hurry?" A middle-aged man called a young businessman. Although the other party was wearing extremely ordinary clothes, he couldn't underestimate the other party.

"Oh. It turned out to be Brother Chen, I went to Qin State Bank to take a mortgage, and then do a big business." Brother Li waved and said.

"Big business? What's the matter?" Brother Chen asked extremely curiously.

"This. Come here." Brother Li looked around and held Brother Chen in a low voice.

"This is not a place to talk. Go to the bank over there and talk, doing business and talking at the same time. The business over there is still very good." Brother Li said.
