The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou railway construction site.

"What are you doing over there?" When a team of carriages passed by the periphery of the construction site, a carriage driver from Qi asked the leader of the carriage.

"What are you doing? Repair the railway." The locomotive said angrily.

"Is it the big iron horse we saw in Wei?" the coachman from Qi asked curiously.

"Yes, that's the thing. Tell you, this big iron horse is not a good thing." The front of the car said angrily.

"Why?" the coachman asked curiously.

"I think that big iron horse is pretty good. A big iron horse can pull hundreds of carts like ours, how good it is." said the coachman. Most of the people from Qi are looking for hard work, because they don't have the skills, they enter the shipyard with a little bit of skill, and become clerk buddies with a little bit of dexterity.

"If the railway is repaired. What's the matter with you? Even if our bowl of rice is lost." The train head said helplessly.

"Oh. Yeah. I didn't think of that." The driver said, looking at the busy situation on the construction site.

"So, it is a bad thing to repair the railway. But it is not easy for us to eat this bowl of rice." The train head said helplessly. They love and hate trains, because Qingcheng needs a huge amount of materials. Without railway construction, the only thing they can do is to rely on horse-drawn carriages for transportation. Therefore, there are many horse-drawn carriage shops in Jiaozhou. According to preliminary statistics, there are about ten thousand horse-drawn carriages running on Jiaozhou Highway. Only such a large number of horse-drawn carriages can maintain the daily material consumption and trade exchanges in Qingcheng. However, with the increase in trade, the horse-drawn carriages The total amount of traded goods that can only be maintained by increasing the quantity. This is not a long-term solution, and there is only one complete solution. Build a railway. Completely open up the Jiaozhou transportation line, but if you do so, a large number of carriage shops will be useless, and many carriage drivers will lose their jobs. Under such circumstances, the locomotives will naturally oppose the construction of the railway, because once the railway is completed, they will not have The opportunity to make money.

"If you don't use a carriage, I think I can drive an iron horse. That's awe-inspiring." The coachman said with a smile.

"Hehe, you kid, look at your horse carefully. The iron horse is not easy to drive. You have to learn. You can go to Xinzheng, South Korea. The tuition fee is enough for you to buy several carriages." The head of the car shook his head and said. Then continue to drive.

"Oh. I save enough money and go." said the coachman. On the opposite side, the construction site was in full swing, because the railway company gave them a very short construction period, and it seemed impossible to build such a railway in a very short time.

"Time is too tight," said Zhang Xiu, an engineer in the western section, frowning and shaking his head. The entire Jiaozhou railway is divided into two parts, east and west railways. They want to complete the work as quickly as possible. The Qingcheng Railway Company solved the funding problem by issuing more stocks and selling by the Qingcheng government and mortgaged a large number of bonds to the bank. Many nobles and military personnel participated in the fund. They believed that the Qingcheng Jiaozhou Railway was very important. .

"We can't build such a railway with a length of more than 700 miles in such a short period of time." Zhang Xiu said.

"I know. What do you need, tell me. I will solve it for you." Chen Shan, the head of the western section, said.

"People, I need a lot of people. There are not many people in Jiaozhou. Most people in Jiaozhou have gone to Qingcheng. We can't recruit more people to build the railway. The most important thing is that the company's funding for us is very limited. , We can’t do that.” Zhang Xiu said.

"People?" Chen Shan asked.

"Yes, we need people, a lot of people. Labor, but we can't do this. These people are still collected from Jiaozhou, but the salary has been increased a lot. If this continues, it will not be enough." Zhang Xiu Shook his head and said.

There are many problems with the western section of the railway company. Although they are close to the direction of Zhao State, Zhao State can provide them with a large amount of raw materials, but they lack manpower. The problem in Qingcheng is okay because there are a large number of Qi people who have crossed the border of Qi. They couldn't find good jobs in Qingcheng, and many people became construction workers because they needed a lot of manpower there.

But in the western section, the problem is very serious. Because of the attraction of Qingcheng. The population here began to become sparse, the further west, the fewer people, thinking that many people know that Qingcheng is a very good place for development. The population is extremely dense, but the population here is sparse.

"Oh. Do you have any good way to solve this problem?" After thinking for a while, Chen Shan asked such a question.

"The only way is to gather people from Chu or Qi, but Chu people are busy going to sea. The situation of Qi people is better. They are all willing to come here. We can only gather people from Qi. Come here. Otherwise, our road problems will be very troublesome. And." Zhang Xiu said.

"Their salary requirements are very low, as long as we provide them with good food, it will be fine." Zhang Xiu said.

"Yeah. Very good. Very good." Chen Shan said. Chen Shan only thought of how to solve the labor problem, but he did not think that doing so would cause huge political dynamics. Compared with Chu, Qi is indeed a good source of labor. Most of the Chu people are busy opening up their farms, because there are too many farms opened, and the nobles need more manpower than they expected. Many people have been taken to the south. There may be many gaps in the labor force. Moreover, the interests there are greater than those here, and there are more opportunities to make a fortune overseas.

In contrast, the development of Qi is very lagging. Many people have no way out. They can only plant on the fields. Although life is relatively peaceful, Qi is relatively weak in comparison. Some Qi people will not be satisfied and come to Jiaozhou for their own desires. Life in Jiaozhou gave them a chance to change.

"If you just do this, the situation will be very bad. You know. The Qi people from the north have always been separated from us by a great political distance. If there is a lot of trouble, the situation will be very bad. "Zhang Xiu said worriedly. Although he is not interested in politics, he knows where the main direction of the labor force is coming from. Qi, there is indeed ample labor force there, but the situation absolutely cannot allow them to go so smoothly.

"I can't control this matter, and I can't do so many things, but as long as the labor problem is solved and the railway can be completed, I don't care about other things." Chen Shan said with his hands behind his back.

"Okay. Since you said that. I don't have anything to say. That's it." Zhang Xiu nodded and said.

"Post an advertisement immediately, or send people to the border of Qi State to the north, so that they can come here as soon as possible. The staff here is too short." Chen Shan said excitedly.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

"My lord, this is a speculative report from them. The specific matter has not been fully understood. Zhang Shi has already sent someone to investigate." Zhang Liang said to Han Shu.

"Well, no matter whether things are like this or not, this is very beneficial to us in Korea. You know, this is a huge demand order. Although we don't know if the northern dynasty of the Menggla people encountered the Yuezhi people controlled by the Qin people. Attack." Han Shu said.

"But they do have such a large order demand. The most important thing is that the people of Qin want the Yue people to go south to obtain their benefits. However, we cannot control Mengla and Western continental countries such as the Northern Dynasty. For us, it is too big. If they can fight to pieces, it will be very good for us. The most important thing is that we can use so many weapons to gain their wealth." Han Shu said. It is Han Shu's goal to obtain wealth from Western continent countries through trade or other means, because only in this way can they completely solve their financial difficulties. The Korean government has too many places to build. This is an inevitable choice.

"Yeah. However, this move will be very detrimental to our expansion." Zhang Liang said worriedly. He was worried that the influence of the Koreans on the Western continent prevented them from advancing because of these muskets, because the muzzle was controlled by humans, and the Menglais could be aimed at the Yue people who went south, or at them.

"Don't worry, when they learn to use flintlocks, we have eliminated those **** backward weapons. What kind of threats can using backward weapons pose to us, and do they have that guts? I think it's unlikely. In my opinion, we know too little about Bangla and other city-states. We Koreans have too few people to the West, and too few people, which means we don't have such a lot of strength. We can't be too anxious." Han Shu thought about it for a while.

"Think about it, we have only started to expand our trade in Bangladesh and the Western continent. Trade has not yet started. We first opened up their market. Only in this way can we have more entry. When the strength is expanded to a certain level, we can make the next move. Otherwise, everything is for nothing." Han Shu said.

"Yes, Lord. We really can't be too anxious." Zhang Liang agreed with this. After all, they have only just arrived in Bangladesh, even though they have already had two victories. However, the situation does not seem to have changed much for them, and the South Korean government needs to make such changes.

"This is an opportunity for the musket trade. Their demand is definitely not as simple as one million, and the price is very high. We have other goods, these things cannot sell at a good price in Korea, but we ship to Bangla, And if the western continent goes up, the price will rise several times. This is a good opportunity for us. We need such an opportunity so much. So, what we need to do now is to seize this opportunity, if necessary , You can build several arsenals there. Fight it, the more violent the war, the more we will make." Han Shu said excitedly, waving his fist in his hand. Her eyes shone brightly.

Qin State, Xianyang Wenyang Bank.

"Look at this, I think you will be very interested." Ying Yu took a report issued by the Qin government and handed it to Xiao He. Why didn't Xiao understand what Yingyu was looking for.

"Oh." Xiao He took the report quickly and it seemed that he read the report very fast, but if it was an important report, he read it very slowly, for example, this time. The content of the article is very simple. But thinking about the problem takes a long time.

This is a report that the Qin government pledged the rights to issue gold coins and banknotes in the three western regions of the Qin State. Because of the needs of trade in the Western Regions, the Western Regions used gold coins, and the Qin State used paper currency, of course. Gold coins are also in circulation now, but gold coins cannot be circulated in Qin Guoguan and several prefectures. Gold coins still need to be exchanged for banknotes in banks. But in order for Qin to open up the plight of trade in the Western Regions, some countries in particular need gold coins too much. Because the Qin State absorbed a large amount of gold, the currencies of these countries were in a state of contraction, which was not conducive to the Qin State's development of their trade markets. However, the Qin government was unable to set up a financial institution to manage it, so Shangwen decided to obtain a large amount of funds by way of mortgage to build the Western Regions, and after obtaining the mortgage. They also have the right to use, and they can achieve their profit through the exchange of currency and banknotes among the countries of the Western Regions. This is a very promising project.

The Qin government needed funds, and they pledged the right to issue currency, which is the right to issue two types of currencies. However, the area is limited. And another point. They can control currency issuance. Occupying the currency issuance rights in the region is actually the entire financial rights. Obtaining the currency issuance rights is equivalent to that they have already obtained most of the trade.

"This. This is an absolute good opportunity." Xiao He is very clear that there is no more profitable business in the world than controlling currency.

"So, I know you will be interested. The prime minister is also taking great risks by doing this. The prime minister is explaining this matter with the king. Therefore, we must now work with several other banks to do this together. We Wenyang Bank can't afford such a big business. The most important thing is that we also have gold reserves in our hands, but we still can't meet such a big demand. We must unite." Yingyu said. She had already figured out the countermeasures, and the way was very simple, which was to unite other banks, the Royal Bank. United Bank, as well as other banking alliances, Qin has formed large and small consortia. They have large amounts of funds in their hands.

"Well. We can't worry about this matter, we must find an opportunity to do it." Xiao He thought about it.

"Yes. But this opportunity has already appeared. It is the Moon War. The Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff have already planned a battle plan. The Moon people will concentrate their forces on the Indian line of defense, and then launch large-scale operations. Then they got a lot of trophies. They took these trophies to repay their debts, and the Yueshi people issued bonds, but these are bonds purchased by the government. The next step is for our bank to purchase these bonds and exchange these bonds." Yingyu said.

"It can be said that we can do business directly with the Yue government, and the Yue people need to share their war proceeds to us. However, the Yue people are only carrying out the first step of the battle plan, and they will also make the next step. For example, the construction of railways will completely solve their logistics supply problems. The Qin government is considering this issue." Yingyu said.

"This is indeed a good opportunity, we have to seize it." Xiao He nodded.

In order to solve the financial problems of the Yue family and the development of Qin's western regions, the Qin government had to do so. Mortgage the government bonds of various state governments in the Western Regions is not very attractive. Moreover, the degree of difficulty is very high. Shang Wen knows this point, and Meng Yi also knows this point. This problem can be solved slightly. Only by actively mobilizing the power of Qin State Bank to participate in it, because only they have such a large financial capacity to solve many problems. Now Shangwen needs to untie the **** to the bank and let the bank actively participate in the construction of the Western Regions of the Qin State.

North of Qin State, Nanmo Town.

"East and West Mengzhou are the northern part of the Qin State, but the development is too slow. First, we lack a sufficient population to develop the north. We all know that many southerners are unwilling to come to the north, and our development in the north is also Entered into a state of stagnation." It was a senior Congressman from Simon State who was speaking. He is not tall, but this does not prevent people from worrying about the current North.

Both East and West Mongolia have encountered the same problem. They need to develop. Only by developing can the two states make great progress.

"Therefore, we formed the Northern Alliance. The purpose is very simple, that is, to develop and prosper the North." said the senior congressman.

"In our north, there is still a large area of ​​northern land that has not yet been developed. This is an opportunity. Once we have an opportunity to prosper in the north, we need to do what we are doing now. I hope everyone can work together for the development of our north." Speaking of. Others applauded and welcomed.

East and West Mongolia formed an alliance, a regional alliance. They came together for the sake of economy. There are too many similarities between East and West Mongolia. These similarities made them have to go to the joint.

Both states are animal husbandry states. They rely on animal husbandry for development, but animal husbandry can only provide them with a certain agricultural foundation. They need wealth and development. The development of minerals is their only choice, but minerals need people and labor. Even the most powerful explosives cannot solve the problem of underpopulation. For this purpose, they decided to join forces to solve their biggest dilemma. then. They formed the Northern Alliance. This alliance will greatly promote the development of East and West Mongolia. This is the main purpose of this alliance. The economy is the focus of attention in East and West Mongolia. Only in this way can they solve all their problems, and if they do not solve them, they have no prospects.
