There is no impermeable wall in this world, let alone the big bazaar of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone. In the end, the news that Li Chen sold the arms to the Grizzly Bear Department was still not hidden, or Li Chen didn't want to hide it at all, he just wanted to make Daqin an arms dealer in this era.

As soon as there is a profit, the businessman will be bold. With 50 percent of the profits, he will take risks, and with 100 percent of the profits, he will dare to trample on all the laws of the world. If he had 300 thirds of the profits, he would dare to do anything, even his life.

The profit from Li Chen's sale of arms to the Grizzly Bear Department was far more than 30 percent, and when the news spread throughout Xianyang with the spring breeze, the court at this time had already made a noise, some people had finally caught Li Chen's pigtails, and some people were looking at the huge profits of the red arms business, in short, the people who impeached Li Chen were hostile and neutral.

"Your Majesty, selling weapons and armor to foreign races is simply shaking the country's foundation. The reason why my Great Qin warriors were able to snatch half of the Hetao from the grassland people was because of the advantages of the armor. ”

"As the so-called non-our race will have different hearts, the Grizzly Bear Department is now close to my Great Qin, but if it becomes bigger, who can guarantee that it will not be the enemy of Great Qin, Rong Luhou's move is simply a traitor."

"How dare you sell your armor to a foreign race, it's very inappropriate."

In the court, Li Chen was sitting on his big chair, holding his cheeks and quietly listening to the court's impeachment of himself. Listening to these people's heart-wrenching impeachment, some people cried hoarsely and exhausted about Li Chen's so-called crimes, and they were almost about to faint.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The First Emperor's fingers tapped unhurriedly on the dragon chair, and there was not the slightest expression on his face.

"Li Chen, what do you think?" The First Emperor's voice did not show the slightest emotion.

"What do I think, I'm sitting and watching?" Li Chen raised his head, his face slightly scornful.

The laws of Great Qin are strict, and the folk ban on armor and swords, crossbows and bows are forbidden. It is precisely because short weapons such as swords can be regarded as civilian living utensils, while armor and crossbows are standard equipment in the army. And what Li Chen sold to the Grizzly Bear Department this time was the standard equipment eliminated by the Great Qin soldiers, including long and short weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows.

At first glance, when Li Chen heard that he was selling these standard equipment in the army, it seemed that he had committed a big crime. But now the current Great Qin is different from the past, and the soldiers of the Great Qin have been fully redressed, transforming from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. Compared to the steel weapons that Great Qin is equipped with today, these bronze weapons are much inferior in both attack and defense. Not to mention that today's Great Qin has begun to transform from the era of cold weapons to hot weapons, once the Qin army is fully equipped with "Xianyang Manufacturing", then even if the alien race is equipped with bronze equipment, it is just a bronze target.

"Speak well?"

The First Emperor secretly scolded Li Chen, a bastard boy, for not doing right, you must know that the enemy on the grassland is not Fusang Goryeo, which is far away from Emperor Tiangao. Great Qin and the tribes on the grassland have just stopped fighting, and even now there will be some friction from time to time. Although he didn't know why Li Chen dared to sell weapons to the grassland people on such a large scale, the First Emperor knew that Li Chen was much farther away than these ministers.

"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that whoever the grassland people are fighting with today will not start a war with our Great Qin. The cattle and sheep on the grassland are not valuable, so we trade with the grassland, and we buy cattle, sheep, horses and even rabbit skins. In the past, these smugglers were all smugglers, and we in Daqin couldn't collect taxes, and these smugglers did business with the grassland, so they needed to work up and down, and they also had to risk being robbed. Not to mention the small quantity, and the selling price is high, and the purchase price is low. Now like this, Daqin has taxes again, serious businessmen have dumped their own inventory, and the people on the grassland are not stupid, the price of this tea has dropped by more than half, our Daqin is now the big money owner of the grassland people, who will go to war with our own gold owner. Li Chen glanced at the minister who impeached him, and looked like he was a clown.

"Strong words and false words confuse the public."

"For a little money to sell the equipment in the generals to foreign races, have you Li Chen ever thought about the soldiers on the front line?" A military general surnamed Xu said in a heartfelt manner, this person is Feng Zheng's sworn brother, and he can be regarded as a loyal dog of the Hu Hai faction.

"General Xu, it's okay for this group of civil officials who don't understand bullshit to shout, what qualifications do you have to speak, according to me, you are picking up a bowl to eat meat, putting down your chopsticks and scolding your mother. Where did you get the armor you wore and the steel knife you carried at your waist? I'm asking you, what is the use of those obsolete bronze weapons in the warehouse except for rust? ”

"By the way, it's really useful, you people can also ask for a military budget every year from the household department, which is called the maintenance of the weapons in the warehouse." Li Chen pointed to the general surnamed Xu and said eloquently.

"And you people, what use can you have except shouting in the court all day long. Do you know how much a steel knife costs, how much a pair of armor costs, how much a Xianyang makes cost, how much a cannon costs? How much gold and silver is spent on ordnance research and development each year, and how much gold and silver is spent on ordnance replacement in the army. Do you know that if all the soldiers of Great Qin are equipped with Xianyang Manufacturing, then what difference does it make if the enemy wears armor or not? If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, you don't know anything, so you can say some bullshit here. ”

"You, you, you, and you. Otherwise, I will let the Hanging Mirror Division check on you, and your Yulu Laozi will keep it for you, and donate the unexplained money to our Daqin as military expenses. Li Chen pointed to several ministers who impeached him and scolded angrily.

"I would like to ask you, can the grassland be included in my Great Qin territory within five years." The First Emperor looked at Li Chen and asked solemnly.

"If Your Majesty can hand over all the eliminated weapons of Great Qin to me for disposal, in three years, I guarantee that I will be able to take the entire grassland within three years." Li Chen's tone was sonorous and powerful. The reason why Li Chen does not advocate a full-scale development with the grassland today is that the economy of Great Qin cannot support a protracted war. The entrance to Daqin is here, and it is obviously not feasible to increase domestic demand to promote the economy in a short period of time. In addition to domestic demand, the use of foreign exchange to enhance the strength of the economy shows that it is a short-term effective method.

"Three years? Seriously? The First Emperor seemed to be a little unconvinced. You must know that the war between Great Qin and the grassland has lasted for more than ten years, and it has only occupied the city for a month.

"Seriously." Li Chen said solemnly.

"Draft, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household will coordinate, and all the equipment and weapons eliminated in the army of Great Qin will be handed over to Rong Lu for processing."

The first emperor has always been a doer, and in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he began to draw up his will.
