Chapter 246: The General Trend of the World
"Brother Xian, big brother ......" Jin Cheng was speechless with emotion.
"Okay, big brother, in fact, my younger brother is also selfish. As soon as the tea and horse market opened, I was close to the water in Chicheng, and there was no reason not to get the moon first. Originally, I planned that you would be in charge of the business of Da Chu and Qi State, and Mrs. Chen would be in charge of the business of Da Yan and Jin State, and your connections would be divided in this way. But your strength is too small to catch up with a medium-sized family, and we have no reliable merchant friends in Akagi. To be honest, I didn't hope I could make much money from this, but now it's okay, because big brother, we have a lot of trusted businessman friends, and as long as they agree to my terms, then they will be in the same boat as us. Although the strength of our parties is small, but together, with the convenience I provide, we will definitely have a place in this big trade! Qin Forget explained.
"Brother Xian means that you want to develop our own business group in Akagi?"
"Yes, why not? In order to attract more people to take our boat, I will definitely give them a big discount in the early stage, that is, this time to save the big brother of your group. Qin Forget nodded.
"In this way, the eldest brother will thank the virtuous brother for those old brothers. I'll set out tomorrow to discuss with them the purpose of the caravan, and by the way get some food from them, and I'm sure they won't refuse." Jin Cheng thanked Qin Wangdao.
"Don't worry about these days, my eldest brother has been working too hard lately, let's have a good rest. As soon as the Khitan supplies arrived in a few days, the eldest brother went over with the silver to buy some goods, and when the goods came, the tea and horse market was almost ready to trade, and now it was April, and there was not much time left. Qin Forget couldn't help but sigh a little, this month was really too difficult, but everything was getting better and better, and I believe that it wouldn't be long before Akagi would exude vitality again.
"Yes, it's April, you see, it's icy and snowy, and there is still no sign of warming. I'm afraid that this year's agricultural season will be delayed again, and next year will definitely be a catastrophe year. Along the way, not only our Dayan, but also the Qi and Jin kingdoms are like this, the land cannot be cultivated, there are refugees everywhere, and there are countless civil changes of all sizes. Jin Cheng also frowned and said.
"But this kind of weather has also helped us a lot in Akagi, if it weren't for this, the countries of the world would not be so eager to open a tea and horse market, and we would have died a long time ago. It's just that it has suffered the people of the world. Qin Wangye nodded and said. From what the eldest brother sees, how is the current national strength of the three kingdoms of Qi, Jin, and Yan? ”
"Although the three countries have been hit by snowstorms repeatedly, but only that
There is a Yan State that is a little more serious, and the Jin State and the Qi State are not in a situation where they are broken to the bones. Especially the country, Qi, the world's largest military power, still has a very strong military strength, and although the people are hungry, they have not yet reached the point where they can't eat. Brother Xian, brother is worried, once these two countries are relieved, Yan Guo is afraid that there will be a disaster of national destruction. Jincheng analysis said.
"I don't think so, the tea and horse market is in the hands of Yan Guo, at least the two countries will not make a move in the next few years. It's just that the emperors of these countries are all ambitious, especially the royal family of Qi State, once he is given a breath, he will not give up the idea of unifying the world. It's not too late for the world to be in chaos again. Qin Forget was worried, when that day came, would he be ready to face the chaos?
The two looked at the refugees drinking porridge in front of them, their hearts were extremely heavy, and they were speechless for a while.
"What's the big brother's plan?" After a long while, Qin Forgot asked Jincheng Dao.
Although Jin Cheng has always done things for Qin Wang, the two are still in a cooperative relationship for the time being, and Jin Cheng has never made it clear that he wants to be loyal to Qin Wang, so all Qin Wangs will have such a question.
"Haha, the eldest brother's three sons are all subordinates of the virtuous brother, the Jin family can't go back, and the eldest brother is bankrupt and can't even support himself, now of course he is here to eat and drink his brother." How could Jin Cheng not understand what Qin Forget meant, and said jokingly.
Qin forgot to be overjoyed, Jincheng was able to be loyal to him, it can be said that it was a big help, especially in business, the help was simply too great.
"Haha, don't worry, big brother, the brother will return you a Jin family, a Jin family that belongs to you!" Qin forgot to promise Jincheng Dao.
"Haha, okay, then the eldest brother thanked the brother first!"
The two shook their palms and laughed together.
Qin forgot to be rare and idle tonight. Everything is on track, although there are tens of thousands more, but they are only divided into a few large construction sites to work step by step. Naturally, one of his subordinates completed this, and he also recalled Jin Yan from the nursery to help Yin Xian. Jin Yan is talented, but he is a little arrogant, and after more than a year of training, he is already very useful.
Now Qin Forget took Jin Xu and walked towards Chen Wan'er's courtyard, although he was not busy, but in comparison, he still didn't have time to talk to each of his subordinates alone. Even the time on the road should be made to the fullest.
"Jin Xu, how is it, there's nothing wrong with the iron mine, right?" Qin Forget asked Jin Xudao.
"Uncle Qiyu, with the king iron hammer and the king foreman in charge, there is no problem
, but the progress is a little slower. Jin Xu replied respectfully.
Originally, the three brothers of Jin Xu didn't have much respect for Qin Wang, a cheap uncle, but now it's different, the three of them came and reprimanded them severely, and the three of them could only accept their fate.
Hearing Jin Xu call him uncle, Qin Wang's little face twitched unnaturally, but he didn't correct it, "I heard that you invented a drilling machine, can you tell me about it?" ”
Speaking of his great invention, Jin Xu's interest suddenly rose, "That, it's not a great invention, it's a wooden disc, which can be pushed by manpower or animal power, the principle is similar to that of a grinding disc, a cow pulls a circle, two strong men hold the drill bit firmly against the rock, and the drill bit will be driven by the disc to rotate and drill in." ”
Qin Wang's eyes lit up, "Yes, Jin Xu, you have found this most common but easiest way to ignore." How, how effective? ”
Hearing Qin Wang's praise, Jin Xu's face turned bitter, "It's not good, the key is that we can't find enough hard steel, the drill bit has to be replaced more than a dozen times a day, and the effect is not good, it can be grinded less than five inches deep in an hour, and the drill bit will be scrapped immediately." Originally, our plan was to grind a few deep holes in the rock wall with thick bowl mouths, and then use manual labor to smash down the excess stones, which would save a lot of effort. It's because there is no good steel, and the effect is not as good as smashing it directly with brute force. ”
Qin Forget was also a little disappointed in his heart, the method was a good way, but the conditions did not allow it, but he didn't want to discourage Jin Xu's enthusiasm, "It's okay Jin Xu, if there is no good steel, let's take our time, don't worry, I believe you will definitely be able to invent a suitable steelmaking method." ”
But Jin Xu didn't seem to appreciate it at all, "What do you know?" Is the steelmaking method so easy to invent? For thousands of years, there are only a few methods, and I'm afraid I can't think of a suitable method in my life. ”
As soon as Jin Xu was in a hurry, he immediately became unkind to Qin Wang. Qin Forget also knew the virtues of these three brothers, and he didn't take it to heart. It's also strange to say, Jincheng is a multi-faceted character, and his business is so big, why did he give birth to these guys who don't understand the world.
"I can't help you with this, Jin Xu, it's okay, think slowly, experiment a few more times, I believe you will definitely find a good way." Qin Forget smiled bitterly, but still comforted dryly.
Jin Xu glanced at him, as if he didn't understand, don't talk nonsense.
Qin Forget was speechless, and only the three brothers of the Jin family dared to be so unkind to him.
