The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Everyone shook their heads and said.

"About six million."

"Then do you know how many people there are in the world?" Naofumi asked again.

They all shook their heads and said.

"Approximately" Shangwen didn't understand the history carefully enough. But in order to improve everyone's understanding, he roughly expanded this number to increase the degree of surprise and arouse everyone's interest."

Naofumi held out three fingers.

"About thirty million." Naofumi stretched out his fingers and said.

"Think about it, with so many people, how much food, clothing, and salt are needed, and how much arms these countries need to support an army," Naofumi said.

"Currently, Da Qin has exported about hundreds of muskets and thirty cannons." Shang Wen was not sure how many Qin exported while he was ill. But in order to increase the authenticity of the figures, he had to deal with it vaguely. Such unconsciousness

Using fuzzy numbers can improve people's association with numbers.

"If these weapons are exported, what benefits will it bring to Da Qin? You may ask. You don't understand why these weapons are exported. Isn't a country's strength dependent on these weapons?" Shang Wen's vocabulary is relatively new. Most of them

I don't even understand. But as long as Naofumi can continue talking, it doesn't matter.

"Weapons are also commodities. Commodities can bring us a lot of benefits. The same goes for countries. The country's export of commodities can also bring us more benefits."

"We can sell a cannon for over three hundred gold."

"We can sell a musket for one gold." Everyone was surprised to hear these figures.

One artillery costs three hundred gold. How many cannons can be cast with three hundred gold? It is estimated to be almost a hundred. Everyone was surprised to hear such a number.

"Your Majesty, Qin Shangwen, this is..." Li Si said in a low voice.

King Qin just waved his hand to signal not to speak.

"Everyone is surprised. Compared with our daily salary, we are still far behind." Shangwen said.

"But these good times will eventually come to an end."

"The Six Nations are not fools, they also have brains. If they realize the importance of artillery, they will come to buy it. When they come to buy it, our price will be higher, but if the price is too high, they will look for another

A way, this way is cheaper and more convenient. And it comes conveniently and quickly."

"They can imitate it." Shangwen pointed out the key point directly. Shangwen had no doubt that the Six Nations would do this. In fact, Zhao had already started to do this. Shangwen knew that the mechanism of artillery was very simple, especially this kind of smoothbore.

Cannons. As long as a country can smelt a large amount of metal and have a model, they will be able to imitate a large number of them. And the quantity must be larger than their own production scale.

Naofumi is not afraid of them imitating, because they can imitate artillery, but they don’t have cannonballs. Sooner or later they will send spies to get the gunpowder. Naofumi is not afraid of them, because the granular gunpowder is produced separately. The last process, graphite polishing, is exactly

Yeah they don't know how to make this stuff.

"When they can imitate in large quantities, they will not need our artillery, and we will not be able to take away the three hundred gold. Maybe you think it is nothing to take away the three hundred gold. But it is you who have the greatest impact.

.”

"First of all, the factory will not make any profit. Then, your salary will not be paid. Then, you can go to the Six Kingdoms, but the Six Kingdoms also have a large number of craftsmen. How much can you get? Is it more than Qin?

?" Naofumi said.

"Competition can generate vitality. In order to defeat such imitations and the threat to the artillery we produce, we need to manufacture in large quantities, with low manufacturing costs and better performance than them. We can lower the price because we can produce more

There are many artillery, but they can't, why?" Naofumi asked.

"Why? Mr. Chen, can you tell me?" Shangwen asked.

"Mr. Qin, I don't know." Chen Da said respectfully.

"Tell you." Naofumi said.

"Because we have mastered new technology."

The production process is different because the thinking patterns of the human brain are different.

Our gun barrel can be completed by forging, and the Six Nations may adopt the casting method. In this way, we will have a production advantage, and we can squeeze out the bubbles generated in the casting. Similarly, if the Six Nations

If we use technologies such as drilling, we will fall behind. In this case, we will have to import muskets from the six countries."

"Do we want to see that happen?"

"We don't want to, of course we don't want to. So, we need to use our brains to invent and create something new. At the same time, our information is only open to our own people, and everyone else blocks it. We share the information. We can rely on this

We need new inventions to create more new things. The six countries have to spend a lot of wealth to buy our products. In this way, we will get more wealth."

"Let's talk about what kind of wealth you will get in detail." Naofumi said and sat down.

"There is a kind of right called intellectual property rights. What is intellectual property rights?" Naofumi said slowly.

"In layman's terms, it means your good idea or invention. No matter how big or how many inventions you have, as long as it is useful to our production and used in our production, we will give you a sum of money."

Remuneration. There are two ways of remuneration. One is a one-time buyout. This invention will belong to me from now on. I will pay you a large amount of money. With this money, you can do whatever you want. For example

, this invention." Naofumi said, taking out a cone-shaped bullet.

"If we adopt this kind of bullet, we will have to pay Zhang Yuan a large sum of money. But in order to achieve this goal, we have to pass a whole set of bills. I will report this to the king."

"The other way is that I will pay in installments. This method is more competitive, because a technology cannot be used for a long time. A new technology has its own unique vitality. As other technologies mature, it will eventually

It will replace the original technology. For example, this cone-shaped bullet may have a streamlined bullet in the future. After being launched, the speed will be faster. If power is needed, there will also be bullets that will explode after hitting the human body. These

They are all technology patents. The state protects these rights."

"When these rights are used in our production, we have unlimited advantages. With such an advantage, the six countries can only dig into their pockets and buy our products."

Everyone nodded, and they understood what Shang Wen said, that is, as long as they are willing to use their brains and adopt it, then this kind of knowledge will bring unlimited benefits to themselves. This money is huge. And it comes easily.

.

"Does everyone understand?" Naofumi asked, looking at everyone's thinking faces.

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

"so."
