The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"The key to solving the financial problem lies in the fact that capital, since the issuance of bonds cannot be used, then a state-owned method should be adopted to solve the problem." Chen Yu proposed his own method.

"State-owned?" The congressman looked at Chen Yu in confusion, hoping that Chen Yu could explain these things well.

"Yes, state-owned, that is, government-run. Daliang is a large city, and many people need various living facilities. For example, running water, roads, street lights. There are also various transportation facilities, all of which require money. Yes, the location of the beam is very important. We can build a developed road and railway system. We unite with Chu in the south, Handan in Zhao in the north, and Yan in the north. The development of these transportations can bring us a lot. Big income. Because people want to do this kind of business, they must cooperate with us. In this way, our income is very big." Chen Yu said.

"I. Some don't understand." The congressman shook his head and said.

"The thing is very simple. We can achieve this goal, which is to build a water plant. This is a public facility. It needs money. There is nothing wrong with it. However, we and businessmen do it together. A large part of our income comes from this for the money that we provide to the people and receive." Chen Yu said.

"Water, roads, travel, these are all necessary." The member said.

"Yes, but the country and the land belong to us and the government. The government can mortgage these things to get a lot of fiscal revenue. With these, we can do such things while expanding the army. This will affect us. It is very big, or in other words, it is very beneficial to us." Chen Yu said.

"I think. I understand what you mean. The operation is good, and all the problems have been solved." The member said.

"Yes, that's it." Chen Yu said. The legislator nodded. This is indeed a good idea. Wei Guo had nothing. His resource advantage was very scarce. At the same time, they did not have a technical advantage. This directly led to their extremely narrow development. However, in terms of finance, they could not get the advantage of development. However, Daliang has a great geographical advantage. They are located in the Central Plains and have well-developed transportation links, which is very conducive to the development of business. If they make good use of it, coupled with a large population concentration, this will make them more developed. rapid. Where there are people, various needs are very large, and they have to do more for infrastructure. Because people's needs are mandatory. In other words, this is a rigid demand.

State of Zhao, Handan.

"Those banks are mad at me. They still feel that there is a risk." Guo Kai said to Guo Ming. Guo Kai's idea is to let the company provide some mortgage, and then provide it to the employees of the company, so that the employees' treatment will have a great development, and the investment in the land is also a big investment for them. Enterprises are naturally willing to do this, but the banks do not agree. They are worried that their funds will be very risky. After all, companies are also very risky.

"Well, their worries are unnecessary. I think we must also think about them for them." Guo Ming said.

"Think about it for them. I think they don't make enough money. That's why they did it." Guo Kai said.

"They have to give them something tough so they can do better. Otherwise, they don't even know what kind of things my prime minister will let them do." Guo Kai said angrily.

"The prime minister. Don't worry, if we carefully analyze the bank's affairs, I think things are still going for a turn for the better." Guo Ming calmly analyzed.

"Turning? What kind of turning point is there? What kind of people are they? Don't I know? They are a group of people who are unprofitable and cannot afford to be early. What kind of good things they never want to do. Now, doing things like real estate, I think, they have no profit, and they have to take risks, so they don't do it." Guo Kai said angrily. Guo Ming nodded in agreement at this time, in fact, Guo Ming's view is like this.

In his opinion, banks are really unwilling to do such things. First of all, the group of house owners is very scattered, which can easily cause the invested funds to take a long time to return, and the profits are not very high. After all, there is no one. Willing to spend a lot of money to invest in this. Although Guo Kai promised to let the company do such a thing, for the moment, the company is also at risk, and the risk is great, despite the rapid development of industries in various countries, shipbuilding The industry, railways, and highway systems are developing rapidly. However, from the perspective of the future, all countries are developing such things. As a result, their prospects are not good. This is a worry for the future, and profits are not good. The prospects are not good, the risks are high, and banks are unwilling to do such things. After all, in their opinion, such things are not good for them.

“Banks also need a lot of capital, especially for projects with large risks. As far as Zhao Guo is concerned, only by allowing steel companies to develop rapidly, or in other words, to expand infrastructure construction and have a large profit, can this allow They invest." Guo Ming said.

"In contrast, building houses for the poor does not seem to make much money." Guo Ming said.

"Oh. Tell me, do you have any good ideas?" Guo Kai asked.

"My approach is this. If our government can do some relatively large projects, it can attract those banks to participate. These projects can make a lot of money, and they are big money. I think, in this way, they will not refuse. The reason for these projects is that these projects come in quickly and the risks in the future are relatively low. The most important thing is that the development of these projects can stimulate banks to do these things in turn." Guo Ming said.

"What project?" Guo Kai asked.

"The construction of railways, water plants, roads, and various infrastructures. In this way, this increase in demand will inevitably require population to meet such demand growth." Guo Ming said. Guo Kai began to ponder such things at this time.

For example, the development of highways, especially urban highways, if the city develops, public transportation will be developed, and there are more people to have such many uses, and there are water plants. If only the nobles use them, they will definitely not be enough to make money. Yes, but the nobility can provide such a large amount of funds, and if it is expanded, it can also bring great financial support. The profit achieved is also very considerable, which is mainly supported by a quantity, not a single individual. This is a brand new market. The first thing the government needs to do is to greatly stimulate the development of such public undertakings.

"I said, Qin is no wonder that he develops public utilities when he is rich. That's what you meant. What you said makes sense. It makes sense." Guo Kai smiled and wanted to understand the matter.

"In this way, we have such an advantage. With such an advantage, it is easy for the bank to talk about it." Guo Ming said.

"Yes. It's easy for them to say. This kind of thing is meant to be done. We should change our strategy to let them know that we are going to develop public utilities." Guo Kai said.

Dawan Country. The Secretary of Defense was very worried after inspecting their border.

"Even though we only have three infantry divisions, we have a defensive range of more than 800 miles. We can only barely defend an extremely weak line of defense. To our north, there is still a grassland. If the Shah people move to the north, from Attacks are launched there, especially when they are still sabbath cavalry. Our country in Dawan will still encounter big attacks." The Minister of Defense said to the Minister of Finance. He hopes to persuade the Minister of Finance to allocate some further funds.

"We don't have money," said the finance minister.

"How is it possible? We have a lot of minerals. What I know is that the price of copper ore has risen." The Defense Minister said.

"Yes, the price of gold mines has also risen. We all need gold, and the price of gold has also risen." The Minister of Finance said.

"But, those mine owners, they need to do some other things, they said, they want to build a railway, because we just built a main railway, they need to build some railways to small towns and mining areas, so they Can't provide us with more taxes. Because in that case, their development will become the biggest problem." The Minister of Finance said.

"Not only that, they also said. They need more minerals. They have already cooperated with the people of Qin. They need to develop more minerals. Qin has greater demand, and there is a larger Central Plains country. They are in this way. Do. It can be said that their funds have been invested in the next profitable operation and they are unable to pay more taxes. This is our current situation." The Minister of Finance said.

"Besides. We have a piece of news from you." The Minister of Finance said.

"What news?" the Secretary of Defense asked puzzledly. Because he didn't know what kind of news came.

"It seems to be obtained from the Central Plains country. The fighting between the Parthians and the Seth is extremely stalemate. Not only that, it seems that the Parths were also defeated by the Seth. In that case, the Parths' military strength will be very strong. We are safe if we are greatly weakened. Because the power of the rest is not as strong." The Minister of Finance said.

"I think you are joking." Hearing this, the Secretary of Defense said immediately.

"Will the rest of the people be so quiet? No, I think, you know the rest of the people better than I do. Once they lose money with the Seth, they will look for opportunities elsewhere. For example, here, we only have Three infantry divisions, and our development is extremely rapid, you know, the life in the town is better, not only that, we still have a lot of wealth in our hands, and minerals are great wealth. In contrast, our military strength has not been greatly improved at all. What kind of situation this will lead to. I think you understand very well.” The Defense Minister said.

"You mean to say that those rest in peace will attack us again. And this time, unlike the last time, they will launch a bigger attack." The Finance Minister said disapprovingly.

"Yes. That's it." The Secretary of Defense said calmly.

"Don't be kidding. Man, how could they? You know, their strength has been lost a lot. Faced with such a loss, they may not be able to further expand their strength. Fighting requires a lot of arms, and For all kinds of materials, I think it’s unlikely that the Parthians will make a mistake. It’s like saying, yes, it’s a strategy. This is an extremely low-level strategic error.” said the Minister of Finance.

"Well, whether you believe it or not, but I think we need more funds and a lot of funds in Dawan. Only in this way can our situation get better. That's it." The Defense Minister said . He believes that Dawan is still in great danger. Although they have Qin people behind them, Qin people will not help them block the front line. The threat of the resting cavalry still exists.

Tochar, rest in peace at the border. The arms business here has started to fade.

"What's the matter with those rest in peace?" a Tohoro arms smuggler said to several of his friends at a dinner table.

"They need a lot of ammunition, and they buy very little guns. Moreover, the fineness of the gold coins they gave is also a big problem. Look. There is still copper in it. It is copper, not gold, which will cause us a lot of trouble. Affected.” A partner said dissatisfiedly. As he said, he took out a few gold coins. The fineness of gold coins is very bad. It is not a gleaming color, but a dull golden color, which is only available in copper.

"Damn the rest of the world, don’t do business with them. Look at how many merchants are still doing arms business with them. The rest of the world is very cunning. I heard that at the border, they have special people to rob our caravans. There have been problems with several caravans. Although the rest of the people said that there is no such thing, I think that those who rob our caravans are what their army did, and only they will do it. If they don’t support it. , They killed those gangsters a long time ago." Another partner said.

As the munitions of the Parthians become more and more demanding, the consumption of war makes them a little overwhelmed. Although they can make some gunpowder weapons themselves, they still cannot do it all at once from the quality point of view. The Tocharians have the advantage of the people of Qin. They can import a lot of gun parts from Qin and assemble them here. If forged by hand, it takes a lot of time. The only thing they can do is to assemble or improve. Some muskets came. This is their advantage. However, the finances of the Shabbats are not unlimited. They spent a lot of money. The benefits of the original war were still there. However, as the situation took a turn for the worse, their finances appeared to be huge problem. Under the instruction of the Shah government, some border Shah troops launched a series of caravans to rob Tocharian merchants. On the one hand, they have a lot of money, and on the other hand, they also have the arms and weapons they need. The Parthians also adopted counterfeit money. Trading in bad currency directly harmed the arms trade of the Tocharians.

"I think this arms trade can't go on. Perhaps, if it goes on, we may be life-threatening." The businessman said.

"But, if we don't do this, what else can we do?" others looked at him and asked.

"I haven't figured this out yet, maybe we have other ways." said the businessman. Others shook their heads. The rest of the arms trade made the Tocharians a lot of money, and they didn’t do it all at once, which made them feel a little disappointed. Maybe they could do some other things, such as glass products, There are also some luxury items, such as silk, tea, sugar, or other beverages. However, the Parthians now control the trade channel with the Far West. Facing such a blockade or obstruction, the Tocharian merchants have nothing to do, unless their government can figure out such things.

"Our tax revenue has declined to a certain extent in the last one or two months," the Minister of Finance said at a cabinet meeting. The Tocharians also actively studied the politics of the Qin State, and they established their own cabinet.

"How much has it fallen?" the Secretary of Defense asked. Because this is related to whether they can increase their military expenditures, Tocharo currently spends a large amount of financial funds on the construction of the railway, but a road is also built. This is inevitable.

"A decrease of 30%." The Finance Minister said as low as possible.

"Oh my God. Damn it." The Secretary of Defense cursed immediately after hearing such words. Because of this, Tocharo’s armament situation would not be changed. Tochar had only three standing infantry divisions and one cavalry brigade. However, their weapons are changed slowly. Their cavalry is equipped with one-third of the muskets, and the rest still have spears. They believe that the advantage of the cavalry is to charge, not to shoot, and the remaining three standing infantry divisions also Dissatisfied members, the military treatment is very poor, many people ran to become arms dealers. No one wants to be a soldier, it is an extremely stupid thing, no one wants to do such a thing. As a result, they encountered such a situation. A large number of personnel are unwilling to do military affairs.

"These are because of the rapid decline of our arms trade at the border, and we have nothing to do. This is the truth," said the Minister of Finance. The others are helpless. After all, this is an arms trade with the Parthians.

"We must find another suitable way to make money, otherwise, this situation will continue to deteriorate." The Minister of Economy said. This is his worry.
