"Now we have hundreds of foreign trade relations, if we can produce 10,000 sets of Wanmao armor a year and sell it, we can disperse it, and the countries will not get much, and we can also control the buyers of these armors at the source, such as the surrounding countries, we can control the quantity and improve their grade, and for the farther ones such as the Ring Sun Country and the Lion Country over there, such as Persia and Rome farther away, we can sell more and reduce some restrictions, everyone, think about it, if we really make 10,000 sets of armor for sale, With the excellent performance of our Mingguang armor, how much do we have to sell? ”

"And it's not just about money, with a large number of foreign trade orders, we can improve the treatment of craftsmen and workers, and we can invest more money in research and development of process technology. At the same time, a steady stream of production can also cultivate more excellent craftsmen. ”

Good things can't just be used by yourself, let alone hidden and used.

You spend dozens of dollars to make a set of armor and only put it in the arsenal for the imperial court soldiers, or spend hundreds of dollars to make a set of exquisite and unique armor, but the result is only to enter the royal arsenal for storage, it is better to take out a few more sets and sell them.

The money earned can be used to produce many armor and equipment that ordinary soldiers can use, and the military workshop has always had orders, which can also promote the demand for craftsmanship and related industrial chains, and drive their development.

"We have to change our thinking, the imperial court's ordnance superintendent will eventually feed back the ordnance superintendent through the profits earned from foreign trade ordnance and civilian goods, and even use the money earned from the sale of military industry to build and supply the equipment needed by our imperial court soldiers. If it really comes to this day, then you should know better than me how much military spending the imperial court will reduce in a year. ”

The emperor's words can be said to have silenced many people who oppose the military trade.

As a matter of fact, many officials oppose trade, and even oppose industry and commerce, just because they do not care about the way and do not understand the economy, trade, and industry and commerce.

The emperor didn't know much either, he wasn't an expert, but the emperor also knew the importance of these things to a huge Central Plains Empire.

A unified Central Plains empire, with a population of tens of millions, could not return to a classical agrarian society, otherwise the country's finances would not be able to support agriculture alone, let alone a strong military system.

And there is no rich country, is not militarily strong, without the support of a strong military system, the strength of this country, is only a flower in the moon, tens of millions of people of the Great Qin Empire, if there is no strong force, not to mention the invasion of foreign enemies, or internal turmoil, can overthrow this empire at any time.

This is also the reason why up to now, after several reductions and reductions, but the imperial court still finally maintained more than 700,000 troops, such a large country, without a strong force, it is not far from turmoil, never mention any prosperous scene.

Many ministers did not seem to understand this, and they were also opposed to stepping out of this road that had not been taken before, and the emperor actively guided on the one hand, and at the same time simply set up various caravans, workshops, etc. in the name of the royal family.

The Emperor's Inner Treasury, now the huge annual income, comes from these new industries, not the traditional Emperor's Grange, handicraft workshops, etc.

With this benefit in mind, the attitude of the ministers has also begun to change.

They are also thinking that the emperor's set seems to be feasible.

Even many aristocratic officials are quietly following the emperor's line and are also developing these.

The Eastern Turks died, the Western Turks surrendered, Goguryeo was destroyed, the Tibetan Xiangxiong was subordinated, and most of the Qiang in the Western Mountains were also attached.

Some people say that there is no need for the imperial court to keep so many troops, it should be cultivated by martial arts, and it should be put into Nanshan, and the swords and guns should be put into storage, so that they can enjoy the prosperous world in peace.

But Luo Cheng never thought about it like this.

It is true that the army is being adjusted again, but it does not mean that the Nanshan swords and guns have been put into storage, on the contrary, the Western Regions, Korea, Xishan, Lingnan, Yunnan and other places have been using troops.

The emperor just deliberately reduced the scale of these wars on the border, and did not engage in any time limit for fighting, and gave the generals a lot of authority, so that they were not in a hurry and fought steadily.

Luo Cheng's method of persuading the prime minister was very simple, he never made any coercive orders, but settled accounts with them.

The emperor even drew a table, and then used the Arabic count, through the table, to tell these prime ministers very clearly what kind of expected changes and benefits would be brought if they did what he said.

The gap between before and after is so big that even if many of the prime ministers do not know much about arithmetic and economics and business, after reading this table, they will feel that the emperor's thinking is right.

Cui Junsu was worried about where to make up for the 20 million yuan gap for the salt tax to be cut by half, but after the emperor asked him to take the huge digital tables and graphics and paste them on the screen, the emperor personally explained them.

Cui Junsu's face was already full of smiles.

According to the prospect described by the emperor, in the future, only the city will be able to earn tens of millions of yuan a year, and the border city will also have several million yuan, not to mention the industrial and commercial tax, which now accounts for only a small part of the fiscal revenue, is expected to soar in the future.

As long as the reputation and market are done, it is not difficult to achieve thousands of military foreign trade in a year.

This means that even if the imperial court maintains an army of seven or eight hundred thousand as it has done in the past few years, and even has no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the border areas all year round, as long as it does not fight a full-scale war and fights some local border wars, then the income of the imperial court is enough to spend, and even there can be a surplus every year, and it can not be afraid of all kinds of floods and droughts that generally come once every three or five years.

Luo Cheng looked at the prime minister's frequent nodding, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

It is estimated that he will be the first emperor in history to use PPT for ministers, expand foreign trade transactions, promote the development of industrial and commercial workshops, expand and enhance financial and tax sources, the imperial court uses these money to support and maintain a strong Qin army, continue to open up the border and expand the land, change the land and return to the stream, as long as it can ensure that the external expansion continues, then the internal contradictions can be compressed and reduced.

An empire, if it is bent on pioneering and is not busy with infighting, will inevitably remain vigorous.

"Give the land to the people of the Han family, and let the barbarians in the Quartet either submit to the people, or enter the workshop, mine, and estate as slaves."

Listening to the emperor's passionate voice and looking at the beautiful foreground depicted on the screen, the eyes of the Zaisuke lit up one by one, and they were all immersed in the beauty.
