2183 Acquisition of chlorine tanks
"It's just that in this case, Zhao Jun will have to send a large number of troops to complete such a task. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI'm afraid I can't afford it in terms of military spending. Li Mu said worriedly.
"Moreover, the strength of the Zhao army has been transferred out of 20,000 people, and at present, there are only 80,000 Zhao troops in the Zhao State to serve as the main direction of defense, and the troops are extremely thin. I'm still a little worried about this, and it's better to think of a way to solve this problem. Li Mu said at this time.
Faced with the problem of a large number of prisoners of war brought by Goguryeo and turned into slaves. Li Mu thinks it is feasible, after all, there is a great demand from the Qin State in this regard. He knew that the railway company of the Qin State needed a large number of slaves to expand its manpower, and that the demand for this was greater than at any other time, and the demand for the railroad was considerable.
"In that case, we can't do anything about it." Li Zuoche shook his head and said regretfully. It was the best he could have come up with. Because the other party took the initiative to attack, if the other side bypassed its own defense line, so that the Zhao army could continue to increase the strength of the defense, and after cutting off the opponent's retreat, as long as an ambush was laid, it would definitely be able to capture a considerable number of Goguryeo people as prisoners of war, and these prisoners of war would be sold to the Qin people, which was definitely a fair price.
"It's not that there is no way, but the way is in the hands of the nobles of Zhao State." At this time, Li Mu said.
"What do you mean?" Li Zuoche has already given up.
"The nobles, the nobles still have some private soldiers in their hands, they can do such things, as long as we release the news and make them think it is profitable, in this case, they will actively do it. The captured slaves were sold to the Qin people, and the Qin people were also willing, and this matter must be let out. As for how to do it, that's our business. Li Mu thought about it and said with a smile.
"Hmm." Li Zuoche nodded. For such a result, it is already very good.
Yan Kingdom, a paper mill fifty miles north of Yandu. This paper mill was jointly established by the Qin and Yan people.
"You're the manager of this house?" A Yan State officer looked at the Qin people who came out of this paper mill and asked.
"Yes. I'm the manager here. I don't know sir. The manager asked, puzzled. He is a native of Qin, protected by Qin, Yan people can't catch them casually, and it is with this protection that his factory can be produced in Yan, and the paper produced here is mainly supplied to Zhao and Yan, and exported to Qin, because it is densely forested, it is mountainous, and there are rivers, and the biggest raw materials for papermaking are available. And the workers here are not well paid. Just opened a paper mill.
"We need your chlorine canisters. We will give you a very fair price, how many you have, we want it. That's when the officer spoke.
"Chlorine canister, what do you want that thing for, that thing is poisonous, and you don't bleach. This thing is very oxidizing?" The manager also wanted to further explain, after all, this thing is too toxic, he is afraid of death, that is, when he used it before, he repeatedly emphasized that he should not move at will. so as not to cause more damage.
"Don't care so much? All you have to do is sell us the canisters of chlorine. The officer said impatiently.
"This. It depends on the price you give? The manager nodded. He believes that this is nothing, chlorine gas, it is easy to make in the Qin State, and it can be obtained by dissolving the sodium chloride solution with direct current. Not only that, but the chlorine is relatively easy to compress and can be easily transported into cylinders. The bleaching effect is not bad. So a lot of paper mills use this stuff to bleach.
"On the basis of your cost price, add 50%. We will take as much as you have. The officer said.
"Good. It's for you. The manager nodded.
"We want it now." The officer said.
"Yes, did you bring the money?" The manager asked with a smile.
"It's easy to say." The officer said. Then the two went to see the goods, and then paid and withdrawd. And there were many such paper mills, and Yan Jun soon collected what they thought was enough chlorine canisters, about 10,000 bottles. After use, the jar is refunded with a significant jar deposit. It can be said that Yan Guo spends relatively little.
"I really don't know these Yan people, they're going crazy. What do you want so many canisters of chlorine for? A paper mill manager said to another on the second floor of a restaurant.
"Like, I'm crazy, too. This chlorine gas is too toxic. What do you want this thing for? Bleaching? Another factory director said curiously.
"Who knows, but I remember one thing, this Yan Kingdom seems to have released this poisonous gas before, you say, are they used to release poisonous gas?" The factory director at the beginning asked suspiciously.
"Yes, that's a possibility." Another factory director patted his head and said.
"Quick, let's go and telegraph about it." The factory director went downstairs in a hurry.
Xianyang, Qin State. Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion. Feng Zai submitted a report to Shang Wen. And this report is aimed at Yan Guo's large-scale purchase of chlorine canisters.
"Damn it. These Yan people thought of releasing poisonous gas, and the release of poisonous gas was almost addictive. Shang Wen said with some annoyance.
"We have resolutely opposed the use of chemical poison gas by the Yan people, but the other party still does it!" Shang Wen was extremely annoyed by the chemical gas, so Shang Wen resolutely asked Yan Guo to stop and prohibit the use of chemical gas, but the previous treaty, Meng Yi felt that it was a bit hasty and there were many loopholes.
"I think it seems that the Yan people will use these poisonous gases on the Goguryeo people, after all, their situation is very unoptimistic." Meng Yi looked at the report and said.
"You can't use it on anyone. You are not unaware of the dangers of chemical gases. Shang Wen said.
"However, in the last treaty, it was stipulated that the people of Yan and we of Qin were not allowed to use it in the Central Plains. But this time it was against the Goguryeo people, and they were not from the Central Plains. It is of an alien race, and such a treaty is not legally binding. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"Besides, our Qin State has such conditions, why don't we think about this matter specifically." Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and asked.
"You know, we also have some problems that are difficult to solve, and if we sign them, we are in trouble. But we're targeting a minority. Such use. In my opinion, it's not too much. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"I think it's excessive." Shang Wen said.
"I think it's better for the General Staff to think about it, after all, they are military experts." Meng Yi proposed.
