The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin
Chapter 2824: The role of Yapian
Wuyue Port, a port where merchant ships berth.
"Look at the ships from Qi." A sailor-like man stood there looking at the warships that Qi had docked.
"What's the matter?" a first officer asked. His hat is slanted. Holding a wine bottle in his hand. Obviously, alcohol has a very obvious effect on the first mate's brain.
"That's a merchant ship, not a warship," said the sailor.
"You know, I have always wanted to build a ship. I dreamed that I am going to learn how to build a ship. This ship is definitely not a warship. He was converted from a merchant ship. You see the heaviness on the hull. Is the deck already? Those are all added later, the wind and waves will knock these things out, even if it is equipped with a lot of artillery. But his protection is very low. Low and pitiful, artillery can easily break such a deck Thickness, I think the people of Qi must be crazy. They don't know if they get it. Such a warship can sink after a simple two-round salvo of artillery." Said the sailor.
"I said, third child, is this true?" the first officer asked.
"Yes, it is indeed true." said the sailor called the third. This is the first time that a merchant ship of Qi State has docked here. They will stay here for a period of time and purchase some tea, which will be sold to the Indians. The Indians cannot do without tea. Tea can bring them many things they need.
"It's true. If I have an armed merchant ship, wait for them to load more goods, such as a large amount of gold, and then kill them. We just have to take a bite, and we will be rich." The third child said of his own. plan.
"Yeah. I understand." The first officer said with a smile. At sea, if both parties are very equal in strength, they are both merchants, and the merchants will do some business, but if one of the other parties is weak, they will take a series of measures to kill the other. At that time, they were pirates. Many merchant ships have also done this. In a chaotic sea area where order has not been established, force is the only guarantee for their safety, and if they become weak, the situation will become very bad.
Wuyue, Zhang Xiongdao, and a series of small berthing ports have become the gathering places for merchants and pirates. In these places, they all stare at the merchant ships of various parties. These merchant ships have too much value. They transported the goods to Bangla and sold them in exchange for a large amount of gold, ivory, and various valuable goods. If such a merchant ship was robbed, they could solve all their problems.
These ports are important places for **** merchant ships. Several merchant ship captains have noticed this. "The people of Qi are really crazy. They even converted merchant ships into warships. Such ships can easily be destroyed." said a bearded captain.
"But now they are not valuable lambs." said another drinking captain.
Qi State, Laizhou Shipyard. Another batch of merchant ships manufactured from Qingcheng entered the shipyard.
"My God, we are going to refit twenty-five such warships. I really don't know if such warships can withstand the invasion of war." A young worker said.
"These things are not our business, we are only responsible for refitting, the others are military and navy business. Don't talk about it. Work." A middle-aged worker said. What they have to do is to solve the problem of insufficient warships. As for how to solve this problem, this is no longer their business.
State of Zhao, Handan. A navy officer from Qi State was watching the parade outside.
"What's the matter with you Zhao Guo?" The lieutenant colonel asked a waiter who came here to purchase. A large number of artillery purchases and related technology transfers. Qi State needs more artillery casting technology so that more artillery can be invested in naval construction.
"Why, change the prime minister, the councillors let the prime minister step down, and we poor people, are not willing to step down, because they are all people with children, they all hope that their children can go to school, and then learn something. Change their future. This is the fate of a generation," said the waiter.
"Oh. It looks chaotic." said the lieutenant colonel.
"It's really messy. We don't approve of frequent changes of prime ministers. But those noble councillors have the final say. We have no choice but to do what they want. This is something we can't do." The waiter said To.
"So, your factory will not be affected?" the lieutenant colonel asked.
"Factory, I don't know. Who knows what those workers will think." said the waiter.
"Okay, I see." The lieutenant colonel nodded. This is what he worries about the most. If it happens, the shipyard of Qiguo will be extremely bad. But they have another way. This way is to cooperate with Zhao Guo and introduce such technology from Zhao Guo, but this requires a great price. The shares occupied are quite large. This will make Qi lose its dominance. The lieutenant colonel is unlikely to decide such a thing.
On the front line of Yueshi, in the hospital behind, although Yueshi's casualties were small. However, some wounds still caused them trouble, especially the gunshot wounds that occurred during the confrontation, which made the military doctors of the State of Qin here brains.
"You don't look good?" a captain's medic asked. His white coat was covered with blood, and it was obvious that he had just finished an operation.
"Well, those **** Yue people, their painful screams kept me awake all night, and those wounds, where bullets hit their limbs, we can only take amputations, lack of alcohol, can't make them coma There is no good anesthetic in the country. Even if there is, it is too expensive. The Yue people will not use it for them." The lieutenant military doctor said helplessly.
"Hehe. My goodness, you don't need narcotics." The captain looked at each other as if he heard a huge shocking news.
"What's the matter?" the lieutenant asked puzzledly.
"Oh my God. I found a good pill here. At first, I only thought it was a kind of pill of Yueshi people, or a habit of them. Later I learned that it was a Yapian. "Then the captain took the lieutenant and left here.
"Come with me and look at the wounded soldiers and you will know the important role of Yapian." The captain said that he took the lieutenant to a wounded camp. The environment here is clean. ventilation. It is a pity that the medical staff are men, not women, which makes many wounded soldiers reluctant to come here. After all, no one wants to let people come into contact with their hidden parts.
"Look at the wounded soldiers, the wounded soldiers with amputations," the captain said. For soldiers who have been shot in limbs, they can only amputate their limbs because they do not have good antibiotics. Although alcohol can solve some problems, there is still a great risk of infection because of bullets. That kind of large-caliber bullet can cause a lot of trauma. Especially flintlocks, who knows what kind of bacteria those bullets carry. And that kind of wound can't be repaired at all, and in the end, only the method of amputation can be adopted. This is true for many soldiers who were shot in their limbs, and some soldiers who were shot in their internal organs. Their only way is to cut off part of their intestines. This is the only way to save them, and this has allowed Qin's military doctor to make a lot of progress in surgical operations.
"What are they doing?" The lieutenant saw strangely. He saw some soldiers grilling something dark with fire, and then smoked the smoke. They seemed to enjoy it. The amputation wound would keep them painful. Amputation can save their lives, but the pain caused by the wound can make them unhappy. most of the time. The lieutenant was tortured by such screams. In that case, he can't do anything. That's why Yueshi people need a lot of alcohol, because alcohol can numb their nerves, but now the situation seems to be different.
"I discovered that this kind of Yapian has a great anesthetic effect. It can make people forget the pain, but they need to take it every once in a while. Moreover, I plan to use this kind of anesthetic. It can bring great effects to the soldiers. Help. But." The captain said at this moment, shaking his head.
"But I found a side effect, that is, his use time, the frequency is getting more and more frequent, and the dosage has great signs." The captain said.
"What do you mean?" The lieutenant thought it would be good to find such an anesthetic. This can solve the great pain caused by the soldiers' wounds.
"The side effect is that he will become addicted. Really, this kind of thing, the symptoms of addiction are very obvious. They will not be able to get rid of this kind of thing in the future." The captain said.
"This. If it's the current situation." The lieutenant thought for a while.
"I think this kind of thing is also a must. This thing can solve a lot of trouble for the soldiers. It is better to use some better." The lieutenant said.
"That's right, that's it, I think the same way, I have submitted a report. I hope to plant such things in the rear, he will become military supplies." The captain said with a smile. The lieutenant nodded.
"I think I need a little too. I have a terrible headache. Insomnia has caused me a lot of trouble." The lieutenant said.
Bangla. South Korea’s new army station.
"The country of Bangla must have its own road system. All the roads in Bangla are in very bad condition. You can look at those **** roads. It takes a long time for our artillery to get there. And, with the trade For the development of the system, we need to use a large number of four-wheeled carriages, where we can only walk, not carriages. It is really a **** road condition." Zhang Shi said.
"Sir, maybe we build such a highway system." said a young engineer. In fact, his qualifications are simply incompetent.
"Yes, it's just." The young man continued.
"It takes a lot of money to build roads, I don't know. It's still an aspect." said the young engineer.
"No, it doesn't need much money, as long as a simple repair is enough. There is not much money for you in financial terms. In addition, you don't need to consider manpower and manpower. That's it." Zhang Shi said. he knows. It takes some money to build roads, but he doesn't want such a lot of money to be wasted on it. He also needs to expand quite a lot of cities, and roads are only one aspect of it. In this case, funds are unlikely to be large. But he thought of a good way, that is manpower, manpower is not lacking, his only way is to use a lot of cheap manpower for any use.
"Okay." The young engineer thought for a while and said. He has learned about this project. This project is just a simple construction of a road. The only criterion for the road is to be able to pass artillery. Fortunately, the amount of such works is not very large. Compact the foundation, lay some stones on it, and drain it well. The rest can only look at their own.
"However, there is another problem, which is bridges. As you know, the local rainwater is very dense and heavy. Therefore, we must build bridges in some key areas. However, if we use stone, we simply cannot do that. However, if we can use iron beams or steel, we can solve these problems." The engineer said.
"Oh. This, this will increase the budget." Zhang Shi thought about his first reaction like this.
"I have already budgeted this. We can only reduce the cost of roads and increase the cost of bridges in such areas. The local area can also provide some such economic support." The young engineer said.
"Okay. I see. The cost remains the same." Zhang Shi said.
"Okay. Just do what you said." Zhang Shi said. Just then. Zhang Shi's economic director walked in, obviously he was worried.
"Mr. Governor, I am leaving now." said the engineer.
"Okay, it doesn't matter." Zhang Shi said.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Shi asked his economic supervisor. He was just a military logistics manager because of their expansion needs. He was entrusted with important tasks. Become an economic supervisor.
"The situation is very bad. The economy in Bangla has been destroyed by us, and the farmland has been bought into the hands of merchants on a large scale. They have a large amount of farmland in their hands. The locals have been beaten into slaves by us. For some time to come. , We can’t have too many people paying taxes. Our fiscal revenue may fall further and fall to an alarming level. Maybe. No one pays us taxes.” The economic director said worriedly.
"You mean. We will have no taxes in the future?" Zhang Shi asked.
"Yes. That's probably what it meant, because many Mengla people have escaped. They left here, and most of the land is concentrated in the hands of merchants. If we want to get taxes, our only way is to levy taxes on the merchants. "The economic director said.
"This. How can this be?" Zhang Shi said.
"They are tax-free. We want to protect their interests." Zhang Shi said.
"But, Governor, if you do this, I can't do anything about it. We have to levy taxes on them, and in the future, fiscal expenditures will be very large. In this case, the amount of funds we need will be very large. If we don’t levy taxes, we can’t do anything at all. Unless we borrow. We borrow from merchants.” said the economic director.
"This." Zhang Shi got a headache. He didn't know how to solve this problem, thinking it was difficult to solve. On the one hand, he needs those businessmen to develop his economy. On the other hand, he needs taxes because they made mistakes at the beginning. They adopted absolute taxation policies for the locals, which directly led to the bankruptcy of a large number of Bangla people. . Although their fiscal revenue will increase a lot at the beginning, there will be a cliff-like decline afterwards, because no one will pay them taxes, and the cost of this war will be relatively large. The main focus is on ammunition consumption. A large number of native soldiers are constantly firing ammunition, and they need a large part of the ammunition reserve.
"Okay. You go down first, I think about this kind of problem, maybe I will solve it." Zhang Shi said. The economic director nodded and left here.
In the unexpected place of the resident, a large amount of rice has been recovered by the slaves. These rice can guarantee them great food security, but these are all rice, which makes the Korean soldiers who are accustomed to noodles feel uncomfortable in their stomachs. Many soldiers have gastrointestinal problems. In addition, the food habits of the locals are very different from them. The soldiers of the Korean New Army have certain gastrointestinal problems. There is still no good way to change such a situation.
"Boss, this rice is harvested. What should we grow? The land here is very fertile and there is plenty of water. And there is enough labor. There are people everywhere in the dock area. Let's continue this large-scale war and we will make a fortune Now." A young man said excitedly to a businessman.
"Well. Grain is not planted. Or if you plant less, this stuff is enough to eat. This stuff is worthless. Transported to the northern area, the local area will lose money." The merchant said while looking at the land. The war caused more people to die or flee, and a large amount of land was sold cheaply to merchants with large amounts of money. They saw business opportunities and bought a lot of land. The land has been concentrated in the hands of some people at an alarming rate.
"So, what do we grow?" the young man on the side asked.
"Grow, sugarcane, sugarcane is needed in the north, so you can grow sugarcane. This sugarcane can be brewed even if no one wants it. A lot of alcohol is needed on the ship and in the north," said the merchant. The only benefit that the local agricultural resources can bring is that sugarcane can be grown locally. These sugarcane are the main source of sugar. The northern part of Qin requires a lot of sugar. Tea and sugar are the only two important materials. As for cotton, they temporarily pay back There is no such plan, because no one will notice what use cotton will be. They think it is the most useless thing. Therefore cotton has not been noticed for the time being.
The demand for alcohol has stimulated the cultivation of sugarcane. Although food can bring a lot of alcohol, it is very expensive. And sugarcane can be effectively converted into alcohol.
