Chapter 254: If You Want a Weapon, Trade It for Population!

"Your Majesty, Britain sent people over, presumably just to obtain weapons in the Great Qin Empire, our weapons have been displayed in Europe, everyone is coveted by Great Qin's sophisticated weapons, we must slaughter Britain well and obtain huge benefits from it!" Fang Xin suddenly stood up and replied.

"Oh? How to slaughter the law, if you want a city, we don't need it, we already have a city in Europe, it's not good to have more cities, we have to send troops to garrison, if you want money, we don't lack it in Daqin! Zhao Cheng said with some interest.

"Population!" Fang Xin smiled mysteriously.

Hearing Fang Xin's words, many officials began to frown, what do you want the population to do, the Great Qin Empire does not need a population.

But Zhao Cheng understood what Fang Xin said, exchanging weapons for the population of Europe, or rather, exchanging weapons for slaves!

The Great Qin Empire did not lack a population, but slaves, no matter what was built, or factory workers, needed a lot of labor, but Great Qin did not have so much labor.

Thinking of this, Zhao Cheng smiled secretly and said, "Xuan British envoy enters the palace!" ”

"The envoy enters the palace!!"

"The envoy enters the palace!!"

The eunuchs stationed at the gate of the palace spoke loudly.

After a short while, a middle-aged man dressed in the costume of a European aristocrat quickly walked in, attracting the attention of the surrounding ministers.

Edward walked to the center of the main hall, knelt on his knees, kowtowed, and said: "Foreign Minister Edward meets His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Edward spoke Chinese, which was a bit lame, but everyone could understand it.

This is Edward on the way back, asked Tian Yu to teach him, after a year of study, he studied Chinese, very hard, most of the Qin language can be spoken.

"Flat!" Zhao Cheng said lightly.

Edward immediately got up, looking at the floor a little nervously, not daring to look at Zhao Cheng.

"The foreign minister doesn't know what to do with Daqin? I don't like to go around in circles! Zhao Cheng said very directly.

Hearing this, Edward swallowed his saliva, exhaled, adjusted his state, and then said with apprehension: "Your Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, the Queen sent me here just to establish diplomatic relations with the Great Qin Empire and maintain peace and friendship between the two countries. ”

"And we have a request!"

"Speak!" Zhao Cheng replied expressionlessly.

"To tell the truth, the firearms of the Great Qin Empire have been famous on the European continent, and countless countries are very covetous of the firearms of the Great Qin Empire, and the United Kingdom is no exception.

Edward said very sincerely, if it weren't for Zhao Cheng who knew what kind of urine sex Britain was, he would have believed it.

If the guess is correct, Britain is definitely not buying weapons just to protect its homeland and defend itself, but to invade other countries and rob resources and populations.

"I don't know how much money are you going to spend on weapons, Your Excellency?" Fang Xin smiled and suddenly asked.

"This ..... Back to my lord, one million Qin yuan! Edward replied tentatively.

"Poof!" One minister suddenly couldn't help laughing, and some ministers turned red, covered their mouths, and forced themselves to laugh!

A million, a million for!

Although the Great Qin Empire has never sold armaments, the specific price has not been determined, and the cost of manufacturing a rifle is less than a dollar, but it is impossible to sell it at cost price, however, it is certain that it must be very expensive!

Seeing the officials of the Great Qin Empire like this, Edward's face also turned red, one million is nothing for the Great Qin Empire, but for Britain, it is a huge amount of money!

"Your Excellency Foreign Affairs, I won't tell you anything, one million Qin Yuan can't buy many weapons at all, so let's do it, our Great Qin Empire doesn't want money to sell to the British!" Fang Xin said with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Edward's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought excitedly, "What did I hear?" You don't need money to buy weapons? Oh my God, this isn't a dream, isn't it, how could the Great Qin Empire be so good, could it be that he wanted to exchange the city for weapons? ”

Edward reacted in excitement, only to know that there are not such good things in the world, he said that he doesn't want money, it doesn't mean that he is free!

"If you want a weapon, trade it for a population!" Fang Xin no longer continued to spare Edward, and directly explained the conditions for purchasing weapons.

"Population? No, no, the population of the British Empire is only three or four million, and one less is the loss of the British Empire, absolutely impossible! Edward quickly shook his head and waved his hand in refusal.

When Fang Xin heard this, he was not surprised, and then he smiled again: "Your Excellency, the population I am talking about is not the population, you must also know that the people of the Great Qin Empire are extremely rich, and at the same time, the labor force has also dropped significantly, the factory cannot recruit people, and there is no labor force to build facilities!" ”

"There are many facilities in the Great Qin Empire, which are built by capturing slaves, do you understand?"

After hearing this, Edward's brows furrowed suddenly, being able to be sent here by the queen is naturally not a fool, he already understands the meaning of Fang Xin's words, population = slaves!

Slaves know no borders, and the British Empire has no slaves, so they can catch and catch people from other countries and sell them to the Great Qin Empire, and use these "populations" to exchange weapons with the Great Qin Empire.

"It's too big at this time, and I need to discuss it with Her Majesty!"

This kind of big thing is beyond his ability, human trafficking is too inhumane, once a country does this, its reputation will be greatly damaged, although the Great Qin Empire also does this kind of thing, but people have a background and strong strength to support, and what does the British Empire have? Nothing.

Maybe because of the British Empire's human trafficking, countries will attack Britain on the grounds of inhumanity!

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry!" Fang Xin showed a sly smile at this time.

When Edward heard this, his face couldn't help but darken, yes, you are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry, Her Majesty is still waiting for me to bring back the weapon.

What to do, what to do, do you have to go back to Europe to discuss with the queen before coming? No, it will take two years just to go back and forth, and this time it is gone, what if other European countries get weapons first, then the British Empire will definitely slide down from one of the three major empires, and the British Empire has not been destroyed by other countries.

Edward was lost in thought, hesitating in his heart.

"As long as the conditions of the Great Qin Empire are not excessive, you can agree!"

At this time, Edward suddenly thought of what Her Majesty the Queen had told him, and then Edward's expression was straight, and he said to Zhao Cheng: "Dear Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin, on behalf of the British Empire, I agree to exchange the population for weapons!" ”

He can't go back empty-handed, otherwise he's incompetent!
