The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

The issue of military expenditure has always been a major problem that has plagued the development of the navy. Relying on agricultural taxation is obviously unable to meet the expansion of the navy. Xiang Yan already knows this very well. A bullet will consume a lot of money and taxes. If it is replaced by agricultural tax, the cost will be high. Even bigger, therefore, the biggest source of finances and taxes still needs to rely on commercial taxes, but currently Chu can only do business with Qin people, and the nobles have blocked the road to the north.As a result, goods from the south cannot be circulated to the north, which is a huge crisis for the south.

"General, as long as we solve this problem, then the rest of the problems will be easy to solve." Xiang Bo said.

"This is what we have to do now. Make use of the ships in our hands. Otherwise, if we don't go to sea, our ships will be useless. It will be difficult to use." Xiang Bo then suggested.

Xiang Yan nodded.Agree.

"Our navy has been docked at the pier. If this continues, our navy will become a pile of rotten wood. We can't fight in the wild, and we don't have a lot of money in our hands. If this continues, we will We are going to be trapped to death. There is only one way at present, and this way is that we smuggle and cover a large number of merchant ships to do business, so that we will have the value of existence, and the Chu State Navy will grow stronger." Xiang Bo said.

"Well. There must be business. You are right." Xiang Yan thought for a while and said.

"We have to make a change⊥do as you said, smuggling. We will participate in smuggling." Xiang Yan decided.If it continues like this, Xiang Yan's navy will be completely ruined, and then there will really be no strength to rise again.

"The reply from the prime minister of Qin has arrived." Han Shu said to the Minister of Defense.

"Qin has approved them to export some weapons, grenades, and mines to us." Han Shu told the Minister of Defense.

"This is great. In this way, our weapons can effectively block the Chu army." The Minister of Defense said.

Your Majesty, our military department also has a new weapon. "The Minister of Defense said at this time.

"New weapons?" Han Shu asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we secretly developed a new type of weapon." The Minister of Defense said with a smile.

"Why don't I know about this?" Han Shu asked.

"That's right, Your Majesty. This weapon is actually not developed by us in South Korea. It is actually a weapon of the people of Qin. We just got this weapon by accident. This is why we developed it ourselves." The Minister of Defense explained. .

"How did you get it?" Han Shu asked curiously.

"That's right, Your Majesty, our merchants found such a thing in the northern desert. We didn't know what it was at first, but we shipped it back. Finally, our military got such a weapon It's just that there is still a great danger at present." The Minister of Defense said.

"What weapon?" Han Shu asked.

"Qin's rockets." The Minister of Defense said.

"Rockets?" Han Shu asked.

"Is it a weapon that can shoot multiple shells at once?" Han Shu asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have obtained such a weapon. However, there is still a big problem. We can only imitate it. The imitated things are very dangerous. We still need some improvements to make this rocket Play with maximum power," said the Minister of Defense.

"Well. You have to keep this matter a secret. You are very correct about this matter. For specific research, you need to recruit more talents to complete this matter. Rockets are a very important project. I remember that Shang Wen was famous for inventing rockets," Han Shu said.

"I will transfer all the funds and manpower needed to you. You can study this matter with confidence." Han Shu decided.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Minister of Defense nodded and said.

The rocket was purely an accident, because after the rocket was ejected, many things could not be detonated.The South Korean side has been collecting relevant weapons information. As discarded weapons, the Qin Army rarely takes the initiative to recycle them, and there are not so many troops to recycle them.But the South Korean side has reached this point. It can be said that the South Korean side got the sample from Qin Guo.

With such a sample, it can be imitated smoothly.

A temporary train stop in the Hexi Corridor.

"It's another military column." Shang Wen said looking at the train outside the window.

"Prime Minister." Fan Zeng said while looking at the train outside the window.

"Is there something wrong?" Shang Wen asked.

"I want to leave here." Fan Zeng said to Shang Wen.

"Oh. We are leaving here and going back to the Guanzhong of Qin State." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"No no. Prime Minister, I mean, I want to leave here. Go to another place, or go to Chu State." Fan Zeng said to Shang Wen.

"What?" Shangwen couldn't accept it.

"Why?" Shang Wen asked.

"No reason." Fan Zeng said.

"Yes. I understand." Shang Wen knew that Fan Zeng didn't want to say anything, and knew not to ask any more questions.

"I will approve." Shang Wen said.

"However, I would like to thank Mr. Fan for his contribution in Qin." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng with a smile.

"It's just that I don't know what plans Mr. Fan has next?" Shang Wen asked Fan Zeng.

"Yeah. I went to see the state of Chu. I heard that the state of Chu is in chaos. I think there are still some opportunities in such chaos." Fan Zeng said.

"Yeah." Shangwen nodded.

"Okay. Going to Chu State also has great prospects for development. Chu State has great potential, but this country is very weak. Mr. Fan needs to unite them together." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your suggestion." Fan Zeng said to Shang Wen.

"The next step in the development of Um〓 is to stabilize, stabilize their economy, and open up their economy. This is very important. In my opinion, there is no one in Chu who understands economics, and their economy is very scattered. This is not beneficial to Chu State." Shang Wen said.

"If Mr. Fan is going, he must first stabilize the situation in Chu State. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. I can solve some problems." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"Then thank you very much, Prime Minister." Fan Zeng said to Shang Wen.But Fan Zeng did not explain his plan, and Shang Wen also knew that Fan Zeng had his own plan, and Shang Wen didn't want to say more about specific things.After all, Fan Zeng is a very assertive person.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"The establishment of an embassy requires the appointment of a group of civil servants and military officials. In addition, business and trade activities must continue. The idea is very good. It is difficult for us to find such people. At present, there are very few people in our hands who can understand the Western Regions." Meng Yi Looking at Shang Wenlai's processing telegram, he said.

"But the level of setting up an embassy is different. At the very least, we can rise to the level of the country and the country." Meng Tian said to Meng Yi.He is here to deal with military supplies. Qin has promised to give South Korea a batch of military supplies. Meng Tian needs to get the approval, and then go to the ammunition depot to allocate a batch and sell them to Koreans. In this way, the Qin army can have a considerable part of it. military expenditures.

"Well. I understand this point. I think that after we set up the embassy, ​​we can do a large batch of arms trade." Meng Yi said to Meng Tian.

"Greater military trade?" Meng Tian thought Meng Yi was joking.

"What I said is true. I learned that Dawan Kingdom and the Yuezhi people are very sensitive to Anxi Kingdom. They encounter the invasion of the other side from time to time. The other side is also cavalry. What is the way to prevent the cavalry from attacking? Yes Lay a large number of mines. As long as some areas are controlled to a limited extent, guns, artillery, I think this problem can be solved." Meng Yi said.

"In this case, you will have new trade orders." Meng Yi said.

"En." Meng Tian nodded.

"That's right, but we can't decide the specific situation." Meng Tian said.

"All the decision-making power is still in the hands of your prime minister. We can't do it, we can only follow orders, let's see what your attitude is?" Meng Tian said.

Meng Tian knew very well that Qin set up embassies to understand these countries, and sold more arms to them all at once.These are still a bit too much.
