Qin Xiaogong also tasted the sweetness for the first time: the sweetness of making war money.

Although nearly 20,000 people were lost, the wealth that could be gained was far more than that.

The Qin State beheaded nearly 100,000 people in Wei and Korea, and seized more than 100,000 weapons and equipment. In addition, there are grains, baggage and other substances. Additional! It's the newly expanded land and the people of that land.

To know! Population is the overall national strength.

In this era of cold weapons, labor is the primary productive force and the source of wealth creation. Having a population and land means that the overall national strength is strong.

In the era of cold weapons, the normal ratio was: 10,000 enemies killed, 3,000 self-losses.

The Qin State lost nearly 20,000 people in this war, which can be regarded as strong. Or rather! It's kind of tough. If you lose both, others lose 100,000, and you lose 100,000 as well. So! From then on, the state of Qin will be in ruins.

After returning from the front line, Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying went to the smelting factory non-stop to check the weapon casting.

After the war, Qin Xiaogong was very uneasy and went to the two places in person. The first place to go is the border with Wei. He's worried! King Wei Hui will not give up and suffer in vain.

To know! Who is King Wei Hui? He is a man who has never suffered losses, and he started his fortune by making war money.

And now! The Qin State reversed itself and made a war fortune on their Wei State.

As you can imagine! How King Wei Hui roared!

Although the land was not lost, tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of troops were lost, as well as other supplies.

So! Sooner or later, King Wei Hui will take revenge on Qin.

The current King of Wei Hui is facing several battlefields and has not yet had time to deal with the Qin State. As long as he has time, with his bird nature, he will definitely come to revenge.

So! Qin Xiaogong was very worried. I had to go to the border line in person to check the defense situation, the deployment of troops, and see if there were any loopholes.

After inspecting the border with Wei, he went to the newly expanded land to see the progress of the "land reform" work and the spread of the law. Other than that! Reassure the local people and win people's hearts.

You guys me! Life is guaranteed to be good! Eat some rice! As long as you work hard, you can also get corresponding rewards!

After such a long time of casting, the weapons were basically cast. Right now! The cutting edge is being sharpened.

Newly cast weapons have no cutting edges, and the cutting edges are polished manually.

In the era of cold weapons, there was no machine grinder, and everything relied on manual labor. The cast blanks are transported to the grinding factory, where workers take whetstones and polish them. Or! Rub your hands on the whetstone and polish it back and forth.

In general, it is a "water mill". When polishing, it is necessary to water, one is that the polishing speed will be fast. Two! Can not be annealed. Annealing will change the hardness of the cutting edge.

"Hmmm! Very good! Seeing the mountains of rough weapons, Qin Xiaogong was very satisfied.

"Lord! All the copper has been cast into weapons, and it may take a long time to polish it! Shang Ying said on the side.

"It's all cast?"

"Yes!"

"That?" Qin Xiaogong asked, "How many teams can be equipped?" ”

"Plus the captured ones, they can probably equip more than 200,000, less than 300,000!"

"Oh?"

"If there is a loss?" Shang Ying wanted to speak and stopped.

That means: if you lose the battle, you will lose as many people as you lose your equipment.

"This? It's still not enough! Qin Xiaogong sighed.

"Yes!"

"But! Thanks to him anyway! We're going to cash in right away and give him the rest of the money! Be honest. That's the only way! He'll be willing to help next time! Qin Xiaogong instructed.

"But?" Shang Ying frowned and sighed, "The east gate we opened is closed again!" Offended Wei and Korea, our trade route was cut off again. ”

"This?"

"Last time, most of the materials shipped out were bribed to the Wei State. We just brought in supplies, but we didn't have much material for him? We? ”

Qin Xiaogong was also very helpless, and said: "Then let's move from Chu Guoyun!" Ship as much as you can! Cash in early. Otherwise! The amount is huge, and the nobles of the Qin State may have to think of a bad idea! When the time comes! We have lost our help, and we will be passive again. ”

"Yes!" Shang Ying hurriedly agreed.

"So be it! We try to give him as much as possible! Raise money again and let the nobles take out jewelry, jade, jewelry, etc., and give them to him! These things! You can make money with him! ”

"Lord!" Shang Ying said: "We have already done a fundraiser last time, how much can we raise this time?" ”

Shang Ying means: Do the nobles still have treasures at home?

Qin Xiaogong looked at Shang Ying and said with a smile: "These nobles, they have a lot of treasures in their family!" It's just reluctant to take it out. Or otherwise? We're not fundraising! We do a charity sale! ”

"Charity bazaar?"

"It is the state that exchanges with them with materials and allows them to take out the treasures of the family. And then! Let's pay off these treasures to the white officials. ”

"This!"

"That's it! I'm in charge of this event! You just have to keep yourself busy! When I get it, you can send it over! ”

"Send it over?"

"Give you a few days off! Hehehe! Qin Xiaogong looked at Shang Ying and smiled.

Qin Xiaogong means: jewelry and jade are small in size and easy to transport.

It was very inconvenient and the cycle was very long to transport supplies from the state of Chu to Bai Gui. So! He wanted Shang Ying to send these treasures to the side of Kunshan, and Shang Ying's wife Bai Mei transferred them to Bai Gui.

When the baby arrives at Bai Mei, it is equivalent to handing it over to Bai Gui. As long as the guards give Bai Gui a letter, it is equivalent to delivery.

"Thank you, Lord!" Shang Ying said politely.

"Thank me for what? It's me who should thank you! Thank you, my father-in-law, Bai Guanren! Hush! Speaking of this, Qin Xiaogong became nervous and looked around.

I am used to talking to Shang Ying, but I didn't pay attention to the occasion today. He was very worried: he had leaked Shang Ying's secret.

The marriage between Shang Ying and Bai Mei is unknown to outsiders. Bai Gui is Shang Ying's father-in-law, and no outsiders know about it. Baimei lives in seclusion in Kunshan, and no outsiders know about it.

This is no joke! If anyone knows that Shang Ying has a secret wife and a fat son, he won't go to Kunshan to find it?

If you knew that Shang Ying's father-in-law was a white official, there would only be more people who wanted to make up their minds.

Seriously! If it weren't for Shang Ying's father-in-law, Qin Xiaogong would have been tempted by these materials provided by Bai Gui!

In the face of wealth! No one is exempt from vulgarity!

But! For the sake of long-term planning, Qin Xiaogong had to fulfill his promise. The white officials have helped them so much Qin State, they can't be ungrateful and short-sighted.

Furthermore! People didn't look at your Qin Xiaogong's face to help you Qin Guo. But! For the sake of my son-in-law Shang Ying, I helped!
