Then Zhao Kaizi told him about the attack on Qin Wu's caravan. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and then combined with Zhao Lin's thoughts, Zhao Kaizi boldly thought of being able to do slave trade.

The Qin army can't count on it, so it also counts on those merchants to be armed. But the merchant armament requires a great deal of interest to mobilize, and it is very difficult to mobilize them without such an interest. But if there is a great interest, these merchant armies are easily mobilized.

Moreover, there was a large demand market for slaves, especially the railway demand of the Qin State, and these slaves were mainly used to build railways. The railroad companies would be more than willing to offer good pay, and not only that, but slaves could also spur a larger trade to go on. Come to think of it. Zhao Kaizi had no reason to wait any longer. He decided to do it.

Just when Zhao Kaizi set his sights on the slave trade. The Wang Benbu in southern Xinjiang also began to notice this problem.

"Sir, the prisoners of war we provided this time have made us pay a fortune. Such a deal and a good deal. Wang Zhao said to Wang Ben with a smile.

"Hmm. It is true that we made about 10,000 gold at once, but compared with those big businessmen, we still have a big gap. Although Wang Ben feels that he still doesn't make enough.

"Sir, I think that the main ones who have captured this time are not many prisoners of war, after all, there are only about 1,000 people, and if we can catch more prisoners of war, maybe our situation can change a lot. After all, the slave trade was very prosperous before, and at that time, there were many prisoners of war. Of course. The more wars fought, the more prisoners of war were captured. Wang Zhao said.

"I know this, and I know it." Wang Ben sat down and said. Then he waved his hand and motioned for Wang Zhao to sit down.

"However, you and I know what the current situation is." Wang Ben said.

"There are fewer and fewer places where there is a war. And it is impossible for the Qin State to continue to fight like this. Therefore, the matter of war still cannot solve the problem. We managed to get a prisoner of war this time, but next time. There is no war to fight, there are simply not enough prisoners of war, and without prisoners of war there are no slaves, and naturally we will not make much money. Wang Ben said helplessly.

"Sir. If we want to talk about this war, we don't have it here, but we have it elsewhere. Like what. Wang Zhao paused.

"Let's talk about it." Wang Ben waved his hand and said.

"My suggestion is that we don't have a war here, but the Yueshi people do. Moreover, the Yueshi people are close to the rest of the country, as well as the Tocharians mentioned in the recent message, as well as the Wusun people, these people are a good source of slaves, as long as we give a certain amount of material and financial support, I think they will definitely send these people to us as slaves. Then let's sell it again, and those railroad companies will definitely want it. Even if we add some money, they can do it. Wang Zhao said.

"Hmm. You're right. Wang Ben said.

In this way, we have found another way to make money. It seems that our trading company is definitely going to make a lot of money this year. Wang Ben said with a smile.

"That's for sure, sir." Wang Zhao said with a smile.

"Hmm. Well, just do it. It's up to you to take care of this matter. Wang Ben patted Wang Zhao on the shoulder and said.

"This must be done. Sir. Wang Zhao said and saluted, and then Wang Ben waved his hand and let the other party go down.

With the development of border trade, the Qin State has been in a trade surplus, a large number of goods exported to the countries of the Western Regions, the Yueshi people, the Dawan people, the Tocharian people, the rest people, they are all very interested in the goods produced by the Qin State, and the market response is very good. As a result, a large amount of wealth from various countries continued to pour into Qin, and with the accumulation of Qin's wealth, countries had a large shortage of money supply, and if they could not find good commodities to replace the original gold, they would face the dilemma of having no money to use.

Fortunately, at this time, the Qin people rethought the slave trade, which was actually the demand for slaves caused by the severe shortage of labor in the Qin State. Against this backdrop, the resumption of the slave trade has become an inevitable trend.

In the southwestern border of the Qin State, the border defense line of the Qin army is also quietly changing.

"Our division, why are you so unlucky, you can't make money at all when you come to such a place and such a place, you look at the divisions in the Western Regions who have made a fortune and their hands are weak." A bearded soldier sat in the trench dissatisfied, waving his letter.

"What's wrong. Old Five. Just then, a lieutenant officer came over and asked.

"Sir." The fifth child stood up and saluted.

"Sit down, there is no chief here, everyone is a brother." The lieutenant officer said with a wave of his arm.

"Sir." Lao Wu called out casually.

"Call me Brother Shen." Shen Wei sat down on the ammunition box as he spoke.

"Yes, Brother Shen." Old Five shouted.

"This place we're defending, there's nothing. Those mountain Qiang people are all cheap bones. Give them a little good, and they don't remember anything about you. Beat them, and they hid far away. We also have altitude sickness here. What a grandma's. It's not to fight, it's not to scold. It's really hot. The fifth said dissatisfiedly.

"Hmm. I also think it's a big deal about the situation you said. Shen Wei said dissatisfiedly. He graduated from the Qin State Chang'an Military Academy and was directly promoted to a second lieutenant officer, with a two-year probationary period, but it is better to have such a probationary period directly. After all, the number of Qin troops is not large now, but the number of officers who graduate every year is quite large. How could there be so many officer positions in the Qin army. However, the southwest defense line is special, perhaps because they have been on the defensive for a long time, and because of their special mission, the officers assigned here were directly promoted to second lieutenants, and Shen Wei led a reconnaissance team to draw a map of the vicinity because of his previous bravery, and attacked a tribe. Only then did he get promoted, although his rank went up. But he was still a platoon commander. The position did not rise much. Shen Wei also knows that if this continues. I'm afraid he may not have a chance to be promoted. Now he is thinking about what else he can do after quitting the military.

"That is, other teachers, their hands are weak when they get rich. Brother Shen, look at my brother's letter, they fought a battle in the Western Regions, captured slaves, and gave a lot of money, as well as the booty that those prisoners of war carried. It's damn good, it's enviable. In our place, if you kill it, you will kill it. This place is desperately poor. The booty, the are the same as the men. I don't have any thoughts. The old five grumbled.

"Hahahaha." Hear the whining of the old five. The onlookers laughed.

"Don't laugh yet. Let me tell you, people are in the Western Regions, and they are all tall women in the Western Regions, and we are here. With a woman like a man in your arms, you can still laugh. You don't know shame, our lives are over. If I had known this, I wouldn't have done it. went to the Western Regions to make a fortune. The fifth said unconvinced. Speaking of which, no one else could laugh either. After all, this is a fact. Defending such a place here, there is no oil and water at all. It made them very depressed. The special geography of this place makes them have to be suppressed here.

"You're grandma's. You mountain Qiang slave. Listen to what to listen to here. Dig a trench for Lao Tzu to roll over there, and be lazy like this again. Lao Tzu was shot. "At this time, Lao Wu saw a mountain slave who had been exchanged for laziness and did not dig a trench properly. Immediately grabbed a stone and threw it over.

"Alright. What is there to do with this slave. At this time, the sergeant on the side persuaded.

"You've put this slave too close. Aren't you afraid that they will run away? Shen Wei said with a frown at this time.

"Sir. These slaves have been tamed. It's okay. Besides. We have guns, they can't get far. A soldier on the side explained.

"This is not good, you have to take good care, if you run away, there will be chaos." Shen Wei said worriedly.

"Yes, sir." The soldier said. These mountain Qiang people were all exchanged for canned food by the Qin army. Generally speaking, prisoners of war have to be exchanged after the war, or they will become slaves, but with the trade with the Qin army, these prisoners of war have become goods in exchange for materials in the hands of the Qin army. In fact, the Qin army also needed some miscellaneous servants to do some trivial tasks, such as digging trenches or building roads, these things required labor, and the soldiers of the Qin army were unwilling to do it, such laborers could exchange a few cans for a prisoner of war, because the Qin army gave a relatively high salary. At the very least, the food should be good over there. Some prisoners of war were still willing to stay here.

"These prisoners of war should be handled carefully, if something happens, the above will investigate, if we don't have anything here, it's okay, but once something happens, we will decide that it will be difficult." Shen Wei said seriously.

"Yes, sir, we all know that. But it's a bit embarrassing that everyone spends their time here every day. The fifth squatted on the ground and said.

"Hmm. We really have to figure out how to stop spending like this. Shen Wei stood up and said.

"But this place is very poor. There is no money at all. There isn't much oil and water either. Lao Wu continued. Shen Wei nodded, then turned to look into the distance, but gradually he saw the mountain Qiang slaves digging trenches. Shen Wei suddenly thought of something.
