The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chu State, Pengcheng.

"Good news. We found coal resources near Gard." Chen Ping smiled and handed the telegram to Fan Zeng.

"Can you be sure about this matter?" Fan Zeng asked after reading the telegram at this time.

"Yes, it is certain that they have already mined this kind of coal. This is, the demand nearby is very small. Prime Minister, you know, in this place of the Western Continent, many people don’t wear clothes too much. There are many, and the demand for heating will definitely not use coal, and such a large amount of coal demand, there is only one place that can be used, and that is the steam engine. But there are not many steam engines available nearby." Chen Ping said.

"In this way, the difficulty of our mining has become less difficult. Right?" Fan Zeng asked. He knows that the reason why coal can be mined is largely because there is such a demand for it. If there is no such demand, what will happen, there is simply no such way to solve such a problem.

"Yes, but the South Korean side seems to have a very large demand for coal. We can contact the South Korean side and do something like this. After all, their demand is also very large." Chen Ping suggested at this time.

"Well. This is a special situation. We should install more machines in those places, not only in our country, but also in other places. Otherwise, how could we become such a situation? "Fan Zeng said.

“Prime Minister, it’s just the development of resources in various places. This requires a lot of capital and exploration efforts. Without such financial support, it is difficult to do such things. At present, we still need to rely on trading companies to do such things. In addition, let the merchants participate as much as possible. After all, if the merchants participate in the establishment, it will be of great benefit to us." Chen Ping said.

"Yeah. I heard that the shares of Xiyang Trading Company are selling very well, and there are quite a lot of merchants involved in this, right?" Fan Zeng asked such a thing.

"Yes. Prime Minister, without the participation of these businessmen, I think there would be no such good situation as the current situation, and we would not be able to win such many opportunities." Chen Ping said. The power of merchants in the Chu State is a rare force. It has received the support of merchants and is much more active than the support of members of Congress.

"I see." Fan Zeng nodded. He knew that in Chu State, many things still need the support of members of Congress such as the nobles, but if you want to mobilize members of Congress and promote the great development of Chu State, another force is needed to stimulate. This force is the power of Chu merchants. Under the background of the great era of foreign trade expansion, the power of Chu merchants has developed very rapidly. They have a large amount of funds, in addition to a certain amount of armed forces, even though their commercial roads are all Full of great risks, of which they have not received much government support, but they still continue to take risks and expand their capital. This is a huge improvement for them. The political balance of the state of Chu and the power of merchants participated. Because the enthusiasm is relatively high.

In the outer defensive circle of Port Seth, Chen Bingzhi looked at the situation of the Seth with the telescope in his hand. The Seth immediately deployed more than 3,000 troops here, and they also built fortifications and dug a lot of trenches. The two sides were at war for a while. However, this has not affected the merchants’ traffic behavior, but they must be inspected and collected various taxes if they want to come here.

"How is it?" Guo Xiang asked Chen Bingzhi.

"There is nothing unusual. The other party has not increased its troops further. They don't seem to be willing to fight." Chen Bingzhi told Guo Xiang of his judgment.

"But if this continues, our business will be difficult to do. Many merchant ships said that they would leave here, and they would go to Sori instead of staying here." Guo Xiang said.

"But this is indeed the case here. The Seth people also seem to need to consider their commercial trade situation." Chen Bingzhi said.

"Regardless of this. We must be prepared for defense and not let the other side pose a big threat to our core terminal. This is your task. I think you should be very clear about this." Guo Xiang said.

"My matter is very clear, but I need more militias to participate. Once they launch an offensive, our strength is still very weak. I have sent a telegram to request more reinforcements and supplies, but the above can provide us. The quantity of supplies is still very small. I can't help it." Chen Bingzhi said.

"I will find a way to solve it for you." Guo Xiang said. As this place became a war zone, Guo Xiang also began to bear more pressure. The attitude of the Seth people improved from time to time, and the situation changed from time to time. The changes in the situation became complicated and confusing. In many cases, he himself did not know what to do.

In fact, the Seth people are also weighing how big the disaster they will bear after the outbreak of war, how big the loss is, and how much such loss they can bear. They are worried that if they drive too early, their losses will become greater and greater.

The value of South Koreans exists, because the situation is very clear. A large amount of merchandise trade and related taxes are derived from Korean goods. Once they are at war with Koreans, their trade situation will change. Very unfavorable. but. I have to say that they also made some money by changing hands of Korean goods, but on the other hand, it is these Korean goods that have brought a lot of impact. First of all, more and more goods have impacted the handicraft industry of Seth people, such as handmade fabrics in the traditional sense. Because of the large number of cotton fabrics, their handmade fabrics are far inferior to each other, and they have suffered a lot of losses. Many handicrafts have lost their production value. Secondly, the trade between Seth Country and South Koreans has been in a trade deficit. The country of Seth imports a lot of Korean products, while South Koreans import few of the products of Seth, which directly leads to the creation of a trade deficit, a large amount of metal currency outflows, resulting in a decrease in the number of metal currencies, currency tightening, and currency circulation. , The trade activity decreases. All these make the Seth government very difficult. Finally, the infiltration ability of the Koreans made them feel very worried. Some cults have spread from the Koreans and they are clamoring to overthrow the government of Seth. After the Koreans came here, they brought some troublesome things, from the tomb robbery, encouraging some people to annex the land. When it comes to murder and arson, they do many things, and these things continue to stimulate the Seth government's dissatisfaction with the Koreans. Such things have happened many times, and the patience of Seth people has been declining. The possibility of war is already relatively high.

Qin State, Xianyang.

"From my point of view. With the development of South Korea and the Kingdom of Chu, they are unlikely to establish a large colony, or if they have established it, it is relatively simple to control. At least they have to use a large number of locals, no locals. It’s very difficult to manage it. For example, our current state of Qin has encountered such a problem." Wei Liao said to Shangwen. Shang Wen, Mengyi and Wei Liao are discussing some ideas about annexing the three kingdoms of Dawan, Yuezhi, and Tochara. This idea was not groundless, because it was King Qin’s idea. King Qin felt that the State of Qin should annex the land again to form a second wave of larger land expansion. King Qin seemed to be very interested in all land and land. , Qin State abolished the death penalty in Guanzhong area. A large number of criminals became exile. The purpose of this is to complete the digestion of the annexed land as soon as possible. Qin's demographic dividend can only gradually show up after 16 years. However, the lack of population is still very large, so Qin needs to expand in order to grasp more demographic advantages.

"Why do you say that?" Shang Wen asked.

"Because of management. Unless we take the same approach that we did with the Western Regions, but if we do this, there are still big sequelae. The locals are disgusted with us, and they still pose a threat to our security from time to time. This is a kind of A method with great sequelae. For a country like Dawan, I think that taking an economic invasion is the best way. Gradually, this country will be integrated into our economic development track, and there are many big ones among them. The Wannian army has a great affection for us. This kind of affection can help us further develop. This is a very good idea." Wei Liao said.

On the issue of dealing with Dawan. Qin has two different voices. One is that it should be merged directly, and the other is that the merger of Dawan will become a burden, and Qin should slowly digest it. The idea of ​​direct merger came from the King of Qin, and it was slowly digested, and there was a basis for thinking that Dawan would become a burden, because Qin’s industry was developing rapidly, especially the demand for mineral resources became greater and greater. However, with the further expansion of this demand, some electrical companies in Qin have transferred some of their technology to Zhao, and the surrounding areas are also actively mining copper and other mineral resources. In the north, two states, And some local leaders of the Huns noble tribes also participated. They gave out people and funds, built railways, opened mineral resources, copper mines, zinc mines, and various mineral resources. All these make the price of ore begin to turn into a downward trend. As for Dawan, their economic industry is very single, relying on selling minerals. They are able to borrow because they have a lot of mineral resources, but as this demand is met, their future lives may not be very good.

If the State of Qin merges, it is very likely that State of Qin will pay a high welfare price for this. It is better not to merge Qin.

"The significance of Dawan lies in the role of a channel. We need Dawan, but whether Dawan will become a state of Qin in the future. It depends on their economy." Shang Wen thought for a while and said. He believes that Qin's economic attractiveness has attracted Dawan.

"Well, I think this is right. When their economy fails to develop. Or when a big problem arises, this situation will become crazy. They may become one of our states. You must know that their debts will become larger and larger, their profitability will become very poor, and the price of mineral resources will be in a state of decline. If this is not good for them, the bank will also be aware of this problem. , Their ability to repay has decreased, and we have lent them a lot of money, and they have to expand. All situations will become difficult to solve." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"The Dawan government is controlled by the soldiers and soldiers. They don't understand the economy. What they know is mining and making money. However, everything costs money. I really don't know how long this situation can last." Meng Yi worried. Speaking of.

"Well. Such a thing is no longer something we can consider. This is something that Dawan people should consider themselves." Shang Wen said.

Bangla Port.

"What's a joke? The military pay that was sent to us, we took great risks outside to get a salary of 30,000 to 70,000 yuan per person. But, look at it now, 500,000 yuan, one A piece of paper is higher than all our military pay. This." A native soldier said excitedly.

They were native soldiers expedition to Shazhou. When they returned to Bangla Port, they encountered an unprecedented crisis. When they set out on the expedition, they need to bear some expedition materials by themselves, and they need to pay some money or some materials. Of course. After the war, the government will reimburse part of them. The previous wars were conducted in this way, and they had to do the same. There was no way. They were native soldiers. However, most of the Korean warfare was defensive warfare. They didn’t have much loot to sell at all. , They lost a lot this time on the expedition. They think that the government will give them a lot of government subsidies, or the salary can be seen in the past, the result is also the same, they received tens of thousands of yuan, these salaries are rising. However, compared with the frantically rising prices of these salaries, their situation has become even worse.

"Now a bucket of rice will cost more than one million yuan, but we can't afford a bucket of rice with our little money. I can borrow money from this expedition, but I didn't expect such a situation in China." The scholar also said anxiously. His family is still hungry. There was no way. In order to survive, some of the land he had accumulated as a native soldier was also sold. Many valuable things have been sold. It can be said that he now doesn't have the courage to live at all. He has no such capital.

"The same is true in my situation. The situation of us as soldiers is really bad." Many native soldiers said one after another. When they returned from the expedition, they saw that their family was ransacked, and a large amount of wealth quickly entered the hands of the Bank of Korea. Although they did not know this, their wealth was gone. The land was sold and replaced with rice, some gold and silver were also sold, replaced with food, and the price of food went up wildly. Every day in Bangla Port, people who starved to death were thrown into the sea, stealing, robbery, and the port. There have been many food looting incidents in the warehouse of. But the Bangladeshi authorities only adopted a small number of porridge sheds to solve the problem. The number of people waiting for relief is as high as 100,000 and will increase. However, the materials provided by the authorities can only meet the needs of 10,000 or 20,000 people. They think this is already very sufficient.

Everything became unfavorable for the native soldiers.

"Go, we can't watch the problem develop in this way. We have made a great contribution to the Korean Mengla. We can't be discarded like this. We have to live, go, and ask the chief to ask for an explanation." The soldiers said excitedly. They gathered quickly, looking for their chief to ask for a persuasion, but their chief was not in the camp, they finally came back, they immediately went to find the woman. In places like Shazhou, it is very boring. Even if there are officers, they will not care about such things, because their salaries have been paid according to actual needs. This is no longer something they can consider.

Inflation is a kind of bank robbery in disguise, and they are frantically plundering local wealth. In Bangla, banks issued a large number of banknotes with little gold reserves. Such banknotes triggered a larger-scale inflation, which in turn affected the existence of greater dissatisfaction. The existence of such dissatisfaction will gradually trigger Become the existence of a social uneasy factor. Mengla is very upset. The Bangladeshi authorities turned a blind eye.

Chu State, Wu Yue Port.

"Here. How come the price of this grain has gone up by two cents?" Some women who bought rice asked worriedly.

"I don't know this, I just know that the rice from the south has risen. I can't help it." The rice seller said helplessly. In fact, he still can't make these two cents. The price of rice has always been low. The grain merchants used to have talents, but he didn't make much money in the grain business. He survived every year, and he didn't make much money, but he did more.

"This food is very cheap. I didn't expect it to rise all at once. It is unimaginable. Forget it. Buy more and reserve some. Don't let the food rise suddenly, which is not good for us." The women discussed. They decided to buy more to reserve.

In fact, because food prices are too low, many people no longer have the habit of storing rice. Because the price of food is very cheap, there is no pressure for their survival, and they earn a lot. Buying rice is really a joke. Because the price of food has been kept low, such a slight increase does not seem to have a great impact on them. After all, their wages can sell rice for several years, and they may not be able to eat it after ten years. But now it has risen by two points by chance, they still don't feel the possibility of a large-scale increase in food, after all, Chu has a lot of colonies.
