The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Hurry up. Hurry up." At an outpost of Li Xin's department, a Qin man brandished a whip in his hand and whipped the prisoners of war.

"They are really capable, they actually captured so many prisoners." said the private on the side.

"Well. There are quite a few women among them." The corporal on guard looked at the prisoners of war walking over with a cup of hot tea. Although women crying made people feel irritated, they could see the women. You know, they were

The military usually doesn't look down on women at all.

"Da da da." At this moment, a Qin armed man came over on his horse.

"Hi, buddy." The corporal walked to the perimeter of his defensive position with tea in hand.

"What's going on?" The armed man on horseback stopped at this time.

"Make a deal." The corporal said, looking at the armed man.

"What deal?" the armed man asked.

"Buy you a woman." the corporal said with a smile.

"What's your price?" the armed man asked.

"A good one, good at playing, one gold." said the corporal.

"Brother, are you kidding me?" the armed man said with some disbelief.

"To be honest, the price is already very high." said the corporal.

"Just one woman. Yijin. This is in Northern Xinjiang. The women here have the style of the Western Regions. Look at your women, they are all tall and thick. They are not women at all, they are men." said the corporal.

.

"No, this price." The armed man shook his head.

"This price is already very affordable," said the corporal.

"You know, this is the northern border of the Western Region. It's very close to these places. We paid a gold just to get a better one and have a lot of fun. If that's the case, we will just find someone else." said the corporal.

.

"I see you are new to doing business here." The corporal saw that the other party was hesitant, so he asked other questions.

"Well, we came from Dongmeng." The armed man said.

"It's so far away. If you want to eat, drink or use anything here, you have to find us. It's easier to find us. Okay. We'll give you money, one gold. This is money you can definitely get. Okay. You

You can ask, you can't find such a price." The corporal waved his arms to urge the other party to come.

"Okay, here you go." The armed man nodded and said.

Because the overall strength of the Qin Army is limited, a large number of Qin Army soldiers are stranded on the front line. The salary they are given is only the salary of ordinary workers, and other things do not cost a lot. However, for them, their station has money.

They can't spend it. Therefore, finding women for entertainment has become what they most want to do and need to do. If the Qin army has a fixed base somewhere, some non-commissioned officers can marry and have children and settle down there. The Qin army has already

There are many people doing this.

The same advantage in this area is that women can marry as many as they want without restrictions, and most of them are women from the Western Regions. Their salary can be considered high in the local area, and they can buy properties locally and settle down. Regarding this, the consultant

The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of National Defense are all allowed.

"However, we want to know some specific situations, that is, the movements of other people. Can you do this?" the armed man then asked. At this time, the corporal had already given the other party money to pick out people.

"This requires money, and you need to bribe the people above. Without a big price, you can't get it, and it's not cost-effective. Anyway, Qin Jun doesn't know as much as you do, so you better not think about it." The corporal said impatiently.

Come on. Who is willing to watch his beauty wait for a long time?

"This." The armed man was a little worried.

"Look at this, you might be able to understand." The private next to him said as he handed a leaflet to the armed men.

"What is this?" the armed man asked.

"The leaflet was issued by the Ministry of National Defense." said the private.

"As long as you provide some information, we will give you a certain amount of money based on the value of the information. If there is important news or a geographical discovery, we will give you more," said the private.

"Oh. That's it." The armed man looked at the promotional page.

"Can you give me one more?" the armed man asked.

"Okay, there are a lot of them." The private said and handed a large number of leaflets to the armed men.

"Thank you." The armed man thanked him and left.

The Qin State's Ministry of National Defense and General Staff need a lot of intelligence to understand Dawan, but Qin's reconnaissance force is very limited. Qin's aircraft cannot penetrate deeply, and the scouts cannot be replenished for the time being. The special team is training, and a large number of intelligence work functions

Leave it to businessmen or these armed personnel to provide it. This method may be the most economical method, but they are all non-professionals, and the information they obtain may be far inferior to what the Qin army collected, but there is no way, this is

The best way at the moment.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"King Zhao has agreed to our request. Now we can proceed as planned. A large number of iron smelting plants can arrive in Zhao. Coking plants can also be used. In addition, steel equipment should also be constructed. As long as the scale of the iron smelting plant

You can invest in it as soon as you stabilize, but the main issue is funding." Lu Pheasant reported to Ying Yu.

"King Zhao has mortgaged his palace, but it cannot be mortgaged for much money. The funding gap is still huge. We invested part of the funds at the beginning and it played a big role." Ying Yu said to Lu Pheasant.

"Yes, Chairman. Without our funds, the situation would be very bad." Lu Pheasant said.

"The problem is, we can't keep investing money. If the funds from Zhao State haven't arrived, the situation will be unfavorable to us." Ying Yu said worriedly.

"Well. There is news from the Zhao Kingdom that the nobles don't seem to be very interested in getting involved in King Zhao's profitable projects, especially buying shares." Lu Pheasant said.

"If this is the case, it will be very detrimental to us." Ying Yu said.

"Chairman, those nobles only have gold in their hands, but the price they paid for gold is very high. Some may have bought it at the highest point, but the current price of gold is hovering around one hundred gold. Such a price is not good for them.

"It has shrunk a lot. They hope the gold can be sold, but that's not the case. In this case, their losses will still be huge," Lu Pheasant analyzed.

As Lu Pheasant analyzed, it is precisely because the nobles have a large amount of gold, but the purchase price of this gold is too high. If the gold is sold at this time and converted into banknotes, the nobles are not willing to suffer such losses.

It can be tolerated. However, if Wenyang Bank continues to invest and does not receive a response from Zhao Guo, this will not be good news for Wenyang Bank.

"We need to change the current situation. If we don't change, we will need a lot of funds by then. Are we still allowed to continue investing?" Ying Yu asked.

"No. This situation must change." Ying Yu said.

"Go and let the people below think about it. Is there any way to solve it?" Ying Yu then said to Lu Pheasant.

"Yes, Chairman, I will let the people below think about solving this problem." Lu Zhi whispered to Ying Yu. Ying Yu waved and asked Lu Pheasant to go down. How to solve this problem next?

Problem. Ying Yu doesn’t have any good solution. Because such a solution is difficult to solve.

Handan, State of Zhao.

"King Zhao is currently worried about something." Li Mu said to Xiao He.

"I wonder what it is?" Xiao He asked. Xiao He was invited here by Li Mu and said he wanted to ask some questions. Xiao He didn't know what kind of questions Li Mu would ask.

"Mr. Xiao must have known about our king's investment in steel and cement," Li Mu said.

"Yes." Xiao He nodded.

"Currently we still lack a lot of funds, especially our king, who has mortgaged the palace. Even after mortgaged the palace, we still lack a lot of funds, and the gap in these funds is still scary." Li Mu continued.

"So we hope to get assistance from the Qin State, that is to say, we hope that the Qin State can solve these problems." Li Mu said.

"I just don't know how the Prime Minister wants to solve this problem?" Xiao He asked.

"I hope that King Zhao can get a large amount of money, especially from the nobles. The people of Qin said that if necessary, they can mortgage and get a large amount of funds, so that the nobles only need to buy the royal family's shares. But now, the nobles

Not willing to buy, even though the king has given a clear order, the ministers and nobles are not willing to do so." Li Mu shook his head.

"Therefore, there is still a lack of sufficient funds. If this continues, it may be detrimental to your Qin country." Li Mu said.

"Yes." Xiao He nodded.

"The problem is indeed huge." Xiao He said.

"Currently, the State of Qin needs continuous investment from the State of Zhao. This project itself is a huge investment issue. I feel that the entire project has been launched too quickly." Xiao He said to Li Mu.

"Oh." Li Mu was a little strange.

"We started immediately before the funds were in place. I heard that the locations of several iron plants have been established and the project of laying railways is also in progress." Xiao He said.

"That's true." Li Mu said.

"But here's the problem. A large amount of funds are not in place and construction starts immediately. Once funds are lacking, it will easily make it difficult to cooperate. Currently, too many people from Qin have entered. This is very dangerous." Xiao He said bluntly. He didn't know.

, I don’t know why, the Wenyang Bank headquarters in Qin State would make

Such a reaction, such a reaction is really beyond Xiao He's expectation. Construction started before the other party's funds were in place. Although this has created an established fact, what will happen if the other party's funds continue to be insufficient?

, Wenyang Bank will bear huge debts to carry out this project.

There are many places where funds are needed in the entire Qin State, and the funds invested in this project are also very large. Zhao State does not have enough funds, and the only solution is to continue to invest. In this case, the funding problem will be very big. Qin Guowen

Yang Bank is also in a passive situation, especially since Zhao State continues not to solve this problem. If Qin State Wenyang Bank continues to invest, only the bank will be passive.

"We don't want to see such a situation, but the current situation has developed to this point. We have no choice." Li Mu also said in embarrassment.

"Yes." Xiao He nodded. Now is not the time to talk about who will bear the responsibility. What Qin Guo Wenyang Bank needs is to face the problem and solve it, rather than continue to struggle over whose responsibility it is.

"So, I dare to ask the Prime Minister, is the current problem rooted in the issue of funds, that is to say, the gold in the hands of the nobles is mortgaged to buy shares?" Xiao He thought for a while and asked.

After carefully thinking about what Li Mu just said, Xiao He figured out the reason. The King of Zhao has shares. The nobles of Zhao have gold, and the Bank of Qin has banknotes and sufficient funds. The order in between is

, if a noble wants to buy shares, he must first mortgage his gold and then obtain

paper money, and then buy shares. In this way, the matter is completed. When the problem arises in the hands of the nobles, the nobles have gold, but they do not mortgage it. The reason is that once they mortgage it, they will lose a lot. This is the root of the problem.

Xiao He suddenly understood the reason.

"Yes, that's the question." Li Mu answered.

"As long as you tell them that the mortgage is just a mortgage, not selling gold, as long as they get enough funds to redeem it within one year or two years, then this purpose can be achieved." Xiao He

Speaking of.

"I don't know what Mr. Xiao means?" Li Mu asked.

"That is to say, mortgage, their gold is only mortgaged to the bank. If it exceeds a certain period, the gold will have to be sold. In this case, there will be a certain amount of free time, which is acceptable to the Zhao nobles."

Xiao He said.

"Moreover, currently, the nobles of Zhao State still have a lot of fields, real estate, and minerals mortgaged in the hands of banks, but these things have only entered the banks of Qin State." Xiao He said.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

"It's just that I'm worried about whether such a thing can really be done. Do any nobles really understand our intentions?" Li Mu asked worriedly.

"Well. Just explain the situation. In particular, it is best to build a part of the factory to gain greater profits. In this case, the nobles can participate." Xiao He continued.

Li Mu began to think.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for clarifying my doubts." Li Mu saluted.

"Prime Minister, you're welcome." Xiao He said with a smile. After Li Mu got Xiao He's explanation, he only needed to explain the situation to King Zhao and the nobles, and the investment situation would be greatly changed.

Sinjung, South Korea.

"The investment in Li's Arsenal has been confirmed." Zhang Liang said to Han Shu.

"Well, it's good to be sure." Han Shu said.

"However, we originally ordered three production lines, but now we only have two." Zhang Liang said.

"That's okay." Han Shu said.

"After all, the Qin arsenal has come to South Korea." Han Shu continued.

"Currently South Korea needs such a production line, and the weapons of our new South Korean army still need to be imported. After a while, it is estimated that it will not take long before we can use South Korea's own weapons," Han Shu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I believe that the Qin State will probably move the production of artillery to the Qin State in the future." Zhang Liang said.

"Yes." Han Shu shook her head.

"I heard that King Zhao has started to build a steel enterprise in Zhao State." Han Shu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have also received such news." Zhang Liang said.

"If Zhao Guo has it, we in South Korea need it too," Han Shu said.

"The King believes that South Korea still needs many conditions to develop such a steel enterprise, but at present, we in Xinzheng lack such conditions. Zhao State has sufficient coal, and they have discovered a lot of iron ore in the Taihang Mountains.

, steelmaking requires a large amount of coal and iron ore,

Zhao State has these things. As long as they build enough railways, they can gather these resources and then smelt a large amount of steel. However, we in South Korea have no iron and no coal. For us, this situation

, it’s really too difficult.” Zhang Liang said.

"Yes." Han Shu nodded helplessly.

"Yes, Zhao State does have such a foundation, but we do not have such a foundation." Han Shu said.

"Building a steel plant requires too many resources. We in Korea do not have such resources," Han Shu said.

"Our domestic situation in South Korea is really miserable." Han Shu said. South Korea's current land area is extremely narrow. Such a narrow situation means that South Korea does not have more land for South Korea to develop heavy industry. South Korea can only develop

The only ones left are these light industries that rely on labor for processing. This is very unfavorable to South Korea, Han Shu

I really want to change the current situation. For example, South Korea cannot produce such weapons as the rifles equipped by South Korea's new army. This is extremely detrimental to South Korea. Zhao State can develop related industries if it has its own steel industry.

With steel, better artillery can be made. This is a very big impact on South Korea.

"Your Majesty, I think so." Zhang Liang saw that Han Shu was very unhappy, it could be said that she felt very depressed, so he suggested.

"I think South Korea should not focus on South Korea at the moment. It can be said that South Korea should not build its own steel plants on South Korea." Zhang Liang suggested at this time.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Han Shu asked at this time.

"I believe that South Korea does not have such resources because of its small land area," Zhang Liang said.

"There are none in South Korea, but there are overseas. Maybe there are a lot of resources overseas." Zhang Liang said.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right." Han Shu shouted at this time.

"I forgot. South Korea also has a large number of overseas places. In these overseas places, Qin has a large number of federal states, and we also have them in South Korea." Han Shu said.

"We can work hard in this area." Han Shu said.

"Your Majesty, this requires a large number of prospectors. We have sent overseas students to study. However, it takes a long time to train talents in this area. This cycle is too long for us." Zhang Liang said.

"Well, let's think about a way. I think we can use Qin's masters to lead our apprentices. We can prospect and learn at the same time. We can give them a very large salary." Han Shu said.

"Well, I think this is okay." Zhang Liang said.

"Not only that, I also thought of something." Han Shu said at this time.

"The Qin State currently implements a federal state system." Han Shu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang nodded.

"We can consider that in the future, for example, we can establish our own colonial states on various islands, and then these states will elect parliaments through elections, and then merge them into South Korea through the parliament. In this case, I think, we

South Korea can expand a lot," Han Shu said.

"Your Majesty, I think this is okay," Zhang Liang said.

"It's just that it's still very difficult to actually do it." Zhang Liang said at this time.

"What's the problem?" Han Shu asked.

"I believe that the biggest problem is not how many colonies we have," Zhang Liang said.

"The key to colonial states is people. South Korea can immigrate, but there are very few immigrants." Zhang Liang said.

"Yes, people, there are very few Koreans." Han Shu said.

"The population problem is difficult to solve," Han Shu said.

"Qin's solution is to attract other countries. This is also the tolerance and openness proposed by Prime Minister Shangwen recently. Opening up means absorbing a large number of people from Zhao, Wei, Korea, Chu, Qi, and people from all over the world.

can gather together quickly, and then

When you go to Qin, they can also accept the people Qin needs. For example, I have recently seen that the people of Qin are using Huns as soldiers of their armed forces. These soldiers are very brave in fighting, which is very valuable to us.

Useful." Zhang Liang said.

"Yeah." Han Shu said.

"Our situation is different. We can't attract people from Qin, nor can we attract people like Qi, Wei, and Zhao to come to Korea. This is indeed very disadvantageous for us. In addition, Qin can encourage

Their population can increase rapidly through childbearing, but we have not done so. Think about it, in the future, the number of people in Qin will quickly increase, and our population will..." Han Shu thought for a while and said.

Zhang Liang just nodded when he heard this.

"If this continues, Qin will not launch a war, and these countries will be difficult to resist. Think about it, Qin has land, a population, a lot of technology, resources, etc. All these things on the land can pass

If people come to develop it, can Qin not be rich?" Han Shu asked at this time.

"It seems that we in South Korea need to find a way to change the situation in South Korea." Han Shu said.

"Your Majesty, this requires a lot of time and a lot of capital investment. This is too much for us in South Korea?" Zhang Liang shook his head and said.
