The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

In the northern part of the Qin State, a small number of nomadic peoples live in an area where many larger tribes live in addition to the Xiongnu tribe. Because there are few pastures in the north, their source of livelihood mainly depends on the relief of the Qin State, so life here is very poor . They can't do anything. They lack too much.

And to the south of the settlement here, there is a small river where all these people drink water. The ice water here is very thick. Fortunately, the spring has come, the ice water has already melted, and the south bank on the opposite side is the Huns. In the gathering area, the Huns there have already lived the life of a village. They have formed a large and small village with tribes as a unit. They have their own courtyards, and their lives are relatively prosperous. Their sources of income are mainly concentrated. The Qin people gave them jobs, such as a series of jobs in railways, coal mining, mineral mining supervision, etc., plus some investment projects. Their main funds came from early expeditions, and the Qin people fulfilled their work. committed to. This allowed the Huns there to live a good life.

But the north bank of the river. The lives of the people of other tribes are miserable. They can do very little. Railway work requires a certain degree of education. They don't have this ability. Many people don't even speak Qin Guohua. It is simply impossible for them to do such a job. Many of them are incapable of doing their jobs. This makes their source of life mainly focus on sporadic hunting life. They rely on their hunted prey in exchange for some money, and then buy some daily necessities. Fortunately, the things there are not very expensive. The price is fair.

Rouran Department. The young tribal leader An Ran looked at his tribe. Their tribe had lost two-thirds of its population. Because their tribe was too poor. Many people cannot bear such a poor life, and many people have fled. Or if you leave here, even if you become a slave, life is much better than here. I heard that the Xiongnu slaves in the south, as long as they are brave and learn the Qin dialect, can go to the army. In that case, there is still one of their own. Born, here, it's impossible to get ahead in a lifetime. This made the leader An Ran very worried.

"The leader." A leader saw his leader greet him cordially.

"Yeah. You just came here. Let all the chiefs come to my place for dinner. I have something to discuss with you. Don't worry, I have enough food and drink." The leader An Ran said with his back hand. The leader looked at his leader very strangely, because the leader usually does not invite them to dinner, the reason is that they are poor, let alone eat wine and food. The headman feels very strange, but this is the order of the leader. They can't defy either, the only way is to get all the heads together.

The wine and food are ready. The first people did not drink tea. Although it is very expensive, they don’t like to drink it. What they like is wine. In order to be addicted to alcohol, they like to drink Qin’s blended wine, which is very cheap wine, blended. There is a lot of water, but it is tasteful and powerful enough to drink, so they still like to drink this kind of wine.

"For the future of our Rouran Ministry, do it. Come and pick up the bowl." Leader An Ran raised the large sea bowl in his hand and drank it. The other leaders also drank one after another. The weather is still a bit cold, and you can drink wine. It's a beautiful thing.

"Ah. It's delicious. I've drunk this kind of wine like this for a long time." Many heads said excitedly.

"I am looking for everyone today to say something." Chief An Ran said at this time.

"The chief, please say, we all listen to you." The chiefs said one after another. They are able to eat such wines and dishes, drink wines that are not blended, which makes them feel very satisfied, and such things make them comfortable.

"Okay. I took a trip to the south. The Qin State’s Army Department will carry out a westward movement. Like the Qin State’s Navy Department, the land will undergo a large-scale enclosing movement to the west. The land will give a lot of money. Acquisition. As long as we have acquired so much land, we can get such a large amount of money. With this amount of money, we can do many, many things and get rid of the poor life of our tribe." Chief Anran is serious. Speaking of. Obviously, he has made such a decision.

"Let’s talk about it, if you do it, if you do, just say something. If you don’t do it, I won’t force it. After all, things like wealth have always been like this." Chief An Ran said solemnly. The other heads looked at each other at this time. Some people were preparing to drink and put down their bowls. They knew that this was the most critical time.

"I heard that the Xiongnu tribe in the south had participated in such a movement. It seems that it was organized by the Qin State Naval Department. A lot of people have died." A headman said worriedly.

"But they also posted. Didn't you see? Their little boys can go to school. It was given to them by the people of Qin. They can learn culture and knowledge, and in the future they can go to work on the railway, which is better than life here. A more comfortable life." Another chief said.

"But their tribe also suffered a lot of losses. I heard that there were more than 200 people who went there, but only 20 people came back. The loss was very large." The headman still said worriedly.

"But look at the tribes in the south, what kind of life they live, their women can be beautifully dressed. Their men can drink every day, and the people of Qin people think about them a lot of things. They can do well if they have good things. Their food is very good, and it’s much better than our poor life here. With this opportunity, I decided to participate. Anyway, our lives will not be able to survive at all." A chief said annoyed. To.

"I also agree that this kind of life is really boring, you know, my woman ran away. It's because it's too poor here. Rich. I'm going to get more than a dozen women. Anyway, it's not the way it is now. Life, our little boy, doesn't even have a piece of clothing. Do you know what the Huns call us in the south?" An angry headman stood up and said.

"Calling us savages, damn, I am dead, and I don't want to be called like this. I want to do it, even if I die, I will die on the road to the west. Maybe our tribe can still exert tremendous energy. "The other party said so.

In this case, everyone feels excited. Indeed, their poor life makes them unbearable, and many people can no longer bear it.

"Okay. I think everyone is doing this. We will sign up tomorrow. This time we are going to do it vigorously." The leader An Ran took out a copy of the advertising book from the Ministry of War, which was the reward for this mission. With a full 200,000 gold, this is a huge fortune. With such a large amount of money, they can change a lot, and they don't have to live in this way.

The heads of the tribe are very excited. Maybe it's alcohol, or maybe the big wealth in the future makes them excited. They think they can do a big job. After all, such a thing is very rare.

The War Department’s Westward Movement has another project, and this project is the railway. After all, the purpose of westward advancement is to control the lands in those wild lands, but how to control these lands can only be well grasped by building railways. So the War Department boldly innovated, and they decided to invest again by themselves to form a new railway company and then attract all parties to participate. In this way, they can build railways on the one hand and solve their financial problems on the other.

However, the initial investment enthusiasm was not very high. The main reason was that this railway was very biased and risky.

Inside the Montgomery Club.

"Just kidding. How is this railway built? The cost of building the railway there is very high, and it's all in a barren land, and the location of the railway is so remote, just build it, and what to transport, is it to transport the **** wood? "An East Mongolian state legislator said with a sneer.

"Perhaps there are still a lot of mineral resources waiting for us to develop. You must know that there is a lot of exploration for mineral resources in the north. This is very good news for us." Another member of the East Mongolia State Councilor said To.

"Forget it. We have developed a copper mine here. Look at the Dawan people. The situation of the Dawan people has also changed a lot. Their wars have been transferred to foreign countries, and their mineral production speed has suddenly increased. A new level has come up, coupled with their continuous increase in investment and construction of railways, under such circumstances, their production speed has entered a whole new level, and you look at our situation, it has become It’s very bad. We have just a few railways. If our mineral products are not good, maybe our situation will become extremely bad.” The congressman said with a sip.

"In short, this railway of the War Department is very difficult to build successfully, because the cost is very high, it is developed, and it is not known what to transport. If it is invested, it will be a loss-making business. I do not recommend that you do such a risky business Things, the risk is too great. This is very, very dangerous for us." The other party said.

The others nodded. They agreed with each other. However, they were not sure whether the railway was worth their investment, but some of them decided to give it a try. After all, it's okay to try something that doesn't make a big loss.

Chu State, Pengcheng.

"Okay. The Koreans agreed to buy a large amount of coal from us. In this case, the coal we developed will be meaningful." Fan Zeng handed a report to Chen Ping, who quickly read it. Over.

"That's great," Chen Ping said.

"Well, I heard that the Koreans want to develop Bangla, build some infrastructure, build some roads, railways, in this case, they need a lot of cement, and some textile factories are also built there. In this case, their Coal demand has become very large." Fan Zeng said.

"Here. Where are they going to build a textile factory?" Chen Ping asked Fan Zeng.

"Yes. Maybe they meant that." Fan Zeng said disapprovingly. It doesn't matter to him.

"Prime Minister, this matter has a great impact on us. You must know that we also have cotton mills here. The main targets of these cotton mills are Koreans. Korean cotton cloth has a great impact on our silk, but fortunately, both sides The demand object of the company is not very large, but the demand for cotton is indeed very large. We have also established our own textile factory for this. We are negotiating with Zhao Guo. Once we have our own printing and dyeing factory, we can resist it very well. Koreans are dumping products in this area. But now." Chen Ping said with some worry. Because in that case, if you set up a textile factory in Bangla, you can get close to a large number of raw material sources, and then produce more cotton cloth, and at the same time, the transportation cost will be reduced, so that the Koreans will have a greater market advantage. This is not good news for the people of Chu.

"Look at these things. After all, we can also build factories there. In the same way, we can also consume a certain amount of coal resources. We should look forward instead of stopping here to prevent the other party from developing." Fan Zeng said.

"Yeah. What the Prime Minister said." Chen Ping nodded, thinking that Fan Zeng was right.

Zhao State, Handan, Zhao State Navy Department.

"Iron armored battleships are of great significance, because the current artillery power is already great, they can easily penetrate wooden hull ships, and current battleships need a certain degree of protection, without such protection, it is difficult for us to make our battleships To survive, so we need to enrich the warships, the best way is to use iron armored ships.” The Secretary of the Navy said at the military conference.

After Zhao Qi's combined fleet battled the South Korean Navy. Zhao Guo actively summed up the lessons. After all, this victory is not easy. They need to sum up some lessons. They believe that the wooden shell warship has been eliminated. Because the use of steam engines and transmission devices requires a certain degree of protection, and the penetrating power of the current artillery is very strong, a large-caliber artillery can easily penetrate those wooden shells and hit the vital points of the opponent. If you accidentally hit it If it hits the ammunition depot, the entire warship will be completely scrapped, which is catastrophic. In order to avoid such a thing from happening, the country of Zhao decided to eliminate all wooden warships and build iron armored ships with all their strength.

"It's just that the ironclad ships still have some problems, such as power. If the power is too large, more boilers are needed, but the boilers in turn have to occupy a lot of power space. In that case, the amount of coal reserves will be reduced, and the range will be reduced. The shortening is very powerful." A naval officer said worriedly.

"These are technical problems. These are not what we need. What we need to know is that armored warships are the trend. As for those wooden warships, we can sell them to navies or merchants of other countries. The demand is very large, and we can sell it to them.” The Secretary of the Navy said.

"This is a good idea. Sir," said a navy official.

"Of course. However, there is news that excites us even more. This news is absolutely beneficial to us." The Secretary of the Navy said with a smile.

"In view of the capabilities of our Zhao State Navy Shipyard, the Qin State Navy ordered Liu's iron-clad battleship from us. The contract amount is very large. This is a moment of great significance for our Zhao State Navy." Speaking with a smile.

When other naval officers heard such news, they applauded and congratulated. Even Qin State ordered naval warships from them. This is indeed very good news.

In fact, what the Qin people ordered was not a warship, but an expedition ship. Their main purpose was to keep going north along the coastline and to investigate the condition of the coastline that Qin had acquired last year. If necessary, Qin would build it there. A series of bases and expedition ships are orders under such circumstances. If Qin builds it by himself, it will take a long time, because they need to relocate a large number of naval shipyards here, and the area there is extremely It’s not safe, and doing so will cost a lot of naval funds. After much consideration, the Secretary of the Navy decided to hand over such an order to Zhao Guoren for construction, of course. In some key parts of the system installation are all carried out by the people of Qin, such as boilers, traditional devices, Qin's navy still has a great advantage in this respect, and Zhao's navy only has an advantage in building the hull. However, this is indeed very exciting news for Zhao Guohai.

South Korea, Xinzheng.

"This news is a huge disaster for us." Han Shu said calmly after reading the telegram.

"My lord, what we did is very wrong, we need to review ourselves." The Secretary of the Navy said carefully.

"It is indeed time to review. When those iron armored battleships are out, our situation will become very bad. All wooden shell battleships have been dealt with. Concentrate on building iron armored battleships. We can't let our The navy lags far behind the Zhao State Navy in terms of technology. In that case, we will have no chance of survival at all." Han Shu said solemnly.

"Yes, Lord." The Secretary of the Navy said tremblingly. Originally thought that it would take Zhao’s navy a year or so to build the armored battleship, but now it seems that their situation seems to be getting faster and better, and they can get Qin’s order all at once, which is a big surprise. The Korean Navy’s expectations. In this case, the rise of the Zhao Kingdom’s navy is a great threat to the South Korean Navy. They must resolve such threats. However, how to resolve such threats, Zhao Kingdom’s naval advantages are more prominent. There are ironclad warships. Large-caliber artillery, and these South Koreas are in the process of conquering, the Secretary of the Navy suddenly felt a lot of pressure, because Zhao Guo's navy already has such an advantage, and the South Korean navy is still unable to counterbalance each other. This is absolutely amazing for them. Faced with such a threat, he really didn’t know what to do. This is a big problem.
