At present, the Xiongnu have completed the integration, and they are basically controlled by the Xiongnu in the west, north, and northeast, which can be regarded as surrounding the Qin Empire, and has the potential to exterminate the descendants of the Yellow Dynasty.

"Lord, how many soldiers and horses are mobilized, who do you think will be sent to lead the troops?"

"O ovary! On the route of attacking Yelang and Dian Kingdom, Jiang Song led 30,000 mountain soldiers to the battle, and asked Chen Ping to accompany Jiang Song on a trip, take Lu Ze, and deal with problems with Chen Ping's wisdom. ”

"Good!"

"Han Xin led 30,000 infantry to the expedition on the first route of Bajun, took Dong Peng with him, and told Han Xin that the purpose of training troops is to grab territory to help; Shangyong's first line Peng Yue led 10,000 infantry, and with Peng Yue's ability, he should be able to turn the Nanyang area upside down;

Leaving Mulan in the base area, leading 30,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, assisted by Ofan, Cheng Yu, there should be no problem; Don't worry about internal affairs, there are Xiao He and Qin Hui presiding. The other soldiers and horses went to the grassland with the general. ”

Ye Tong can only lead the troops in person, there is no way, it seems that the generals under him are very good. However, the system judged that there was insufficient experience and could not bring more soldiers and horses. At present, only Jiang Song, Mulan, and Han Xin are the commanders of the division, the commander of the Peng Yue Brigade, and the others are at most the regiment commanders.

"Lord, we should ask the emperor to issue an edict to order Zhao Tuo of Nanjun to lead his troops and horses to the north and cooperate with the actions of our soldiers and horses."

Hehe!

"O ovary! Don't get your hopes up, the Qin Empire is facing the dilemma of destroying the country, and Nanjun Zhao Tuo is not clear, it is simply impossible. In that case, Zhao Tuo did not move, because he had the intention of establishing himself as the king and breaking away from the Qin Empire. We can't do anything to Zhao Tuo now, and when the time comes, we will directly send troops to destroy Zhao Tuo. ”

Zhang Liang's IQ is extremely high, Ye Tong only said a few words casually, and immediately understood what Zhao Tuo of Nanjun had in mind (Hint, Zhao Tuo is the ancestor of Vietnam in later generations, and that place in Vietnam was the first country founded by Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo was a general under Qin Shi Huang and led his troops and horses to the area of Nanjun. ）。

"My lord, it seems that it is not only the old and the young who want to be restored to be kings, but also some generals with impure minds."

"In the ovary, the human heart cannot be satisfied, and the desire will skyrocket with the power in the hand. We can't control people's minds, but we can make laws that increase the cost of crime and deter those who are careful. Otherwise, I really can't stop it. ”

Before the actual combat training was set out, Ye Tong notified the businesses in the jurisdiction to hold a meeting to prepare to report the material needs of the actual combat training. Ye Tong is ready to hand over part of the supply of materials to the merchants, on the one hand, to reduce the pressure of production logistics support, and on the other hand, to tie the merchants together.

You must know that after the departure of the army, if there is a conquest, there will definitely be captured materials, and many materials cannot be escorted by the military, and there is not so much transportation capacity. Those materials can be sold to merchants at a discount on the spot, the price is cheap, and the merchants have a lot of money to make, and they must be happy.

At present, the number of new businesses in the jurisdiction has soared, and the reason is the introduction of the private property protection law and various policies to support businessmen. Even many officials and generals under Ye Tong have formed several chambers of commerce.

The most important thing is that the high-priced luxury goods that Ye Tong continues to launch are too profitable, and no merchant is not impressed. The Qin family can't eat such a big market, Ye Tong must be looking for more merchants to undertake product sales. Among them, many of Ye Tong's officials' families set up chambers of commerce to participate.

Ye Tong does not object to the official's family setting up an industry, as long as it is relatively fair and reasonable in Ye Tong's heart, the official's family can also participate in business and industrial management. Officials themselves are a kind of resource and connection, businessmen can use network resources to make money, and officials can also use them.

As long as there is no collusion between officials and businessmen, and supervision is in place, nothing is allowed. Under the same conditions, why not take care of the family of officials. After all, the family of officials also needs to be inherited, developed, and continued, and it is not possible without a strong economic foundation.

Ye Tong led his subordinates into the conference room, and saw that dozens of trading companies and chambers of commerce had sent people to participate, nodded slightly, and said, "Today, General Ben called everyone here because he has a few things to announce.

First, the military cabinet is preparing to dispatch the Fourth Route Army to conduct actual combat training in the surrounding areas, with the aim of training the soldiers' actual combat ability.

Second, after the army is dispatched, part of the grain and grass supply will be provided by the merchants who are willing to bear the supply, and the merchants will not suffer losses in terms of price, but it is impossible to make huge profits.

Third, the materials captured by the army will be sold to merchants at a discounted price in the local area.

Fourth, the merchants participating in this event will be rewarded with five meritorious points. Now I have a question. ”

Hehe!

The merit point is the reward system that has just been announced, which has a strong attraction to businessmen. Merchants who pay taxes of up to 1,000 taels of silver will be rewarded with one merit point. As long as the merchant accumulates 10,000 merit points, he can be knighted. This is a manifestation of improving the status of businessmen and is very popular with businessmen.

Merit points are not only a way for merchants to pay taxes, but also to find an excellent craftsman from other places to obtain two merit points; To do charity, the amount reaches a certain level, and merit points are also rewarded. In a word, as long as you have money in your hand, you can use the money to buy merit points.

A merchant raised his hand and asked, "General, may I ask, is the caravan in danger?" ”

Hehe!

"There is danger in everything, the caravan follows the army, the danger is there, but it is not very great. Besides, when an unexpected event occurs and the caravan participates in the battle, the military pavilion will give various rewards. ”

Another raised his hand and asked, "General, when the materials captured by the army are discounted, will the caravan immediately have to pay cash?" ”

"This is not needed, register first, both parties sign and agree, and when they return, the caravan will pay the purchase amount. The time must be paid within one month. ”

Ye Tong sighed in his heart, it seems that the next step is to set up institutions such as money banks and banks immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to operate!

In this expansion expedition, seventy percent of the seized materials went to the most combat troops, one percent went to the civil and military officials at home, and two percent were handed over to the state treasury. Of course, there is no internal war, otherwise there will be no chaos.

Seeing that the merchant was not interested, Ye Tong immediately smiled and said, "Everyone, I'm afraid I don't know the situation!" This actual combat training is not so simple as training soldiers. For example, one of them is a real expedition to Yelang and Dian countries.

Imagine what the local army would have captured, a large number of rare trees, jewels and stone tools. Let's imagine, if there is a bed that King Yelang has slept in, and the things used by the concubines, wouldn't it be valuable?

And the Dian Kingdom, I heard that it is very rich, will there be fewer seizures? By the way, General Ben led his troops and horses to the north, and used troops against the Huns, and there should be no less things captured! ”

Whoa!

All at once the businessman was boiling! His eyes glowed red, and his excitement was hard to hide, like a fly that smelled stinky meat, and he wanted to pounce on it immediately.

Hehe!

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is another thing to announce, the military pavilion is ready to sell a batch of weapons and equipment to the outside world, and merchants can consider purchasing it and selling it to the whole world. Whether it is sold to the judgment army or the Huns on the steppe, it is not restricted.

However, all weapons and equipment sold must be put on the record, and the production of weapons and equipment will not be allowed to be produced privately for the time being, and will be considered when the world is peaceful. ”

A merchant raised his hand and asked, "General, is the grain for sale?" ”

After Ye Tong arrived in Hanzhong, he immediately ordered that the grain in the jurisdiction should be prohibited from being sold to the outside world, and those who dared to violate the order would be killed. At first, some merchants thought it was a scare, and after being cut down a few households, no one dared to disobey the order again.

"No! Wait for the world to be peaceful before letting go. ”

"General, will the cattle and sheep on the grassland be sold to merchants?"

"In addition to what the army eats, sheep will be sold. Even if the army eats the sheep, the sheepskin can be bought! As for cattle and horses, it is a bit difficult, and the army will be sent back to the cabinet for arrangement. Everyone knows that there is a serious shortage of cattle in our jurisdiction. ”

"General, what kind of Yueying waterwheel, public carriage, and public plow, can the merchant produce and sell it?"

Hehe!

"Of course, you can, but you have to get the authorized production certificate from the relevant department, and you have to pay the patent fee to the patent holder for each product produced. However, everyone can rest assured that the patent fee is very meager, but it just means that businessmen can afford it and will not affect the return. ”

Ye Tong felt a lot of emotion in his heart, the businessman's sense of smell was really sensitive, and he immediately smelled the potential of products such as the public plow, the public carriage, and the Yueying waterwheel.

"General, is the technology of Hero Drunk, Qin Linghao, Printing, etc. open?"

"These technologies are not open for the time being, and when the world is too peaceful, General Ben will open some high-tech to the outside world, but not at present! I'm worried that after the judgment army gets the technology, it will have too much impact on us. ”

Shame!

After these technologies are opened, what will Ye Tong use to make money? Ye Tong is currently supported by several technologies, and without a few products to sell, he will soon become a poor egg.

"General, can products such as public plows, public carriages, and Yueying waterwheels be sold outside the jurisdiction?"

Hehe!

"There is no problem with sales, the key is that production is in short supply now, and the people in the jurisdiction need too much, so they can only sell to the outside world after the people in the jurisdiction meet them. Now even if you want to sell, you can't buy products! ”

Several products are produced in Dingjun Mountain, and are not produced elsewhere. As soon as it is produced, it will be pulled away by the cabinet, and there will be a surplus there.

"General, can you really sell iron products to the grasslands?"

Hehe!

"Yes, the tax will be heavy, twice the price of the product. However, bows, chariots, crossbows, etc. cannot be sold on the grassland, depending on the type of product. ”

The high-quality iron was controlled by Ye Tong, and the iron products produced by the people were unpleasant to say, and they would not cause any harm to the Qin army. As well as strict control, it is better to let go and collect more taxes. What's more, Ye Tong himself is also selling weapons and equipment.

Ye Tong wanted to make money, and he would definitely not sell the Qin Empire's most powerful crossbows, chariots, bows and other advanced weapons and equipment to the outside world. What can be sold, to put it bluntly, is a eliminated product, and the one with superior performance can never be sold.

"General, in the foreign expedition, are the prisoners sold?"

Hehe!

"Those who are descendants of Yan and Huang cannot be sold, they can only serve a period of hard labor for a period of time, and they will be released. For barbarians like the Huns, you can consider selling a part. On the premise of meeting the needs of the cabinet, there is no problem. ”

"General, what about the captives of Yelang and Dian Kingdom?"

"The captives of Yelang and Dian are treated like the descendants of Yan and Huang, and they are all Chinese people and cannot be enslaved. In the next household register, the Chinese nationality will be indicated, and the second column will be filled in with the original race. When the time comes, everyone will understand by looking at the relevant laws. ”
