The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"The existence of this channel is of great significance to Qin State. Qin Kingdom's domestic production of extra items can be sold through this channel, occupying a very vast market." Shang Wen ordered in Central Asia with his hand, and then turned into a palm finger.

It refers to the direction of India and Central Asia.

"Well." King Qin nodded.

"Is there really such a big place in these places?" Qin Wang asked.

"Yes. These places are really big, and some countries have earlier than the history of the Central Plains. Their existence time is longer than us." Shang Wen then explained.

"For example, from here, to here." Shang Wen then crossed the Central Asian region and compared the position of West Asia. Specially, he dotted the direction of Egypt.

"The civilization here is one or two thousand years earlier than us." Shang Wen said.

"If this is the case, wouldn't they have to be more developed faster than us?" Qin Wang asked a broadly eye -catching.

"No. Their civilization is weakening." Shang Wen said.

"But." Shang Wen was looking at the map and suddenly remembered something.

That is, the Silk Road on the land. Shangwen knows it. And Qin Guo is also pioneering.

Lu. Shang Wen looked at the map suddenly thinking of that maritime Silk Road.

However, when the strong dynasty of the Central Plains appeared. The emergence of the two Silk Road was of great significance. There were two Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty. Even the Song Dynasty relied on a maritime Silk Road.

With the development of history. The development of the Silk Road on the land is far less than that of the development of the Silk Road at sea.

Land Silk Road mainly uses camels and horses. The amount of transportation is relatively small. And the transportation cost is relatively expensive. Compared with the Sea Silk Road, the ship has a lot of transportation. Although the risk is very high, the transportation cost is low.

If you have good luck, it is even faster than the land speed. Obviously, the Maritime Silk Road has a wider advantage than the land Silk Road.

"But what?" Meng Yi asked aside. But Shang Wen was in contemplation at this time. Shang Wen looked at the map and thought a lot.

At this time, King Qin stretched out his arms to signal Meng Yi not to disturb Shang Wen's contemplation. Because King Qin knew Shang Wen very much. Once he fell into such a state, he would think of many things that others could not think of.

At this time, Shang Wen shook his head, because he thought of many places that were not conducive to the opening of the Silk Road on the land. However, Shang Wen soon shook his head because he could not ignore a technical factor. This technical factors were the emergence of railway.

The cost of land transportation has been reduced a lot. If Qin Guo built a large number of railway lines. It has a great advantage. This advantage is that you can transport more materials and enter other materials. At the same time, you can enter other materials.

In addition to this, Shang Wen also thought about other things. The potential of the Maritime Silk Road has great potential and a great development speed. However, at present, it is only a lot of potential, because there are still many found on the navigation.

There are many unknown things, developing the Nanyang Channel, and mastering the necessary navigation technology, especially the potential potential in the entire southern waters that can digest the current excess capacity. Shang Wen really does not know.

Come to consume so many products.

In addition, there is a problem of transportation. Qin's railway has only been repaired in Xinzheng, South Korea. From Taiyuan to Handan from Handan to Yandu, there is only one railway. The amount of transportation is not very large.

And what extent it has reached. Shang Wen still does not know. Judging from the situation seen by Shang Wen. The current ships still use wood as the main shipment material. The number of masts is usually only three masts.

The stone to the three thousand stones is not waiting. There are large warships in South Korea, and the weight of the warship only exceeds 5,000 stones. This load weight obviously cannot meet the requirements of ocean navigation.

Some colonies have been established on the southern coastline. These colonies have not been able to digest so many products.

On the contrary, the advantages on land are more obvious. In the Western Regions, there are a lot of population, and these countries have strong consumption capacity. After all, Qin Guo's products, such as arms, have strong demand. This is hard defense defense defense.

Demand, in addition, there are silk and various other products. These countries will have strong demand. In this way, Qin Kingdom can easily occupy the dominant position in trade. Getting great enthusiasm.

of.

On the one hand, the potential of the Maritime Silk Road is great, but the entire market is very immature. Think about it. The entire Maritime Silk Road replacing the land Silk Road also costs a long time to replace it slowly. This takes time. It takes time.

Only a lot of time can be developed. That is to say, the Maritime Silk Road is still immature, and the market capacity is not mature. Although the potential is great, Shang Wen cannot develop its best. This violates the general trend of history.

On the other hand, there are ready -made market capabilities in the Western Regions. Mature countries. Inanas, Daxia, and Western Western Regions, Yueshi people, etc., they still have a lot of valuable things. These things can be traded through trade.

In exchange for the way. At the same time, Qin Guo was unable to continue the war. The cost of war was too high. Logistics supply will become larger and larger as the front is extended. This is extremely unfavorable to Qin Kingdom.

In the method of trade, the first can stabilize the situation in the Western Regions of the Qin Kingdom, and the second can increase a large amount of fiscal revenue. At the same time, it can digest a lot of Qin Guo products. This is a very good thing for Qin Kingdom.

Emotionally, Shang Wen is more inclined to develop the sea road of the Qin Kingdom, but in terms of the current situation, the situation of the Qin Kingdom is not suitable for the development of the Maritime Silk Road. On the contrary, it is necessary to develop on the land.

Shang Wen thought of this. I felt very helpless in my heart. But the situation was like this. Many times what I wanted in my heart, but often the reality is not allowed. Shangwen somewhat somewhat emotion.

"Well." Shang Wen sighed helplessly.

"Why did the prime minister sigh?" King Qin asked Shang Wen.

"Oh." At this time, Shang Wen remembered that King Qin was beside him. But he was ignorant for a long time. This is a big disrespect.

"This." Shang Wen was a little embarrassed.

"What did the prime minister think of?" King Qin then asked.

"Back to the king." Shang Wen compiled the idea.

"I thought of. There are two Silk Road. One is the land Silk Road, which is the one that Chen just said." Shang Wen said.

"Oh." King Qin looked at the map. Confirmation.

"Another one is the Maritime Silk Road. This maritime Silk Road. Starting from the eastern coastal areas, passing through a strait south, and then crossing a strait west, you can reach another wide sea area.

You can reach the above -mentioned areas. For example, West Asia, and South Asia's subcontinent. "Shang Wen explained that in order to facilitate understanding of Shang Wen to draw some geographical location on a piece of paper.

The way to use drawings can deepen Qin's understanding.

"Well." King Qin looked at the map carefully, as if there were really these mountains and rivers on the map.

"The minister had just thought about it." Shang Wen then said.

"From the perspective of development potential, Qin State should develop the Maritime Silk Road, because of sea transportation, large transportation volume, low cost, and being able to reach a long distance.

arrive.

"What is the situation in the southern sea area? Qin State has not yet mastered it. And it takes a long time to develop the southern waters, and invest more energy, material resources, financial resources, and manpower. These Qin Kingdom cannot be mobilized at present."

Shang Wen said.

"The Qin Kingdom only reluctantly controls the Western Regions. It needs to further deepen the control of the Western Regions. If the Qin Kingdom develops the Maritime Silk Road at this time, it is undoubtedly abandoning the Western Regions. This is very unfavorable to the Qin Kingdom." Shang Wen said.

"Well." King Qin nodded. Qin Wang recognized this view of Shangwen. Give up the Western Regions. Qin Kingdom can't do it at all. Qin Kingdom has not digested the Western Regions, so he spit out the Western Regions. This is very uncomfortable for Qin Kingdom.

One thing.

"In addition, there are many countries around the Western Regions. Through trade methods, control can be strengthened and the revenue of Qin State's fiscal and taxation can be increased. This is very beneficial to Qin State. It can be said that the Western Regions are a piece of meat on the mouth of Qin State.

Don't swallow at this time. It really violates the heavenly reason. "Shang Wen analyzed it.

"Hehe." King Qin laughed at this time.

"From the perspective of the current situation of the Qin State, we should continue to strengthen the development of the Western Regions. In this way, we can control the Western Regions and control the Western Regions." Shang Wen said.

"At the same time, the Western Regions can mobilize other Central Plains countries. This pair of Qin is an important chess piece." Shang Wen said.

"Although from the personal emotional point of view, abandoning the maritime Silk Road with great potential. Unfortunately, it is a pity." Shang Wen said.

"But the current situation of the Qin Kingdom is precisely this land Silk Road. And the Qin state -owned railway technology. If the Qin Kingdom develops first and operates the situation on the land, Qin Kingdom can quickly enhance the strength. With this this with this. With this this

For strength, Qin Guo can transfer energy to develop the Maritime Silk Road in a short period of time. This has to be said that this is a choice of Qin Guo's first retreat and then entering strategy. "Shang Wen said he thought about it.

"Well. Is this why the prime minister just sighed?" King Qin then asked.

"Well." Shang Wen nodded.

"Sometimes, it is really not selected by individuals." Shang Wen said.
