After Shang Yan finished speaking, he looked at the old man anxiously. He didn't have a bottom in his heart: would the old man agree?

It was the equipment of 10,000 cavalrymen, not a small number.

10,000 war horses can not be done with a little money, or a huge amount of money. And what about saddles, stirrups, halters, bridles, and other equipment?

And fodder for 10,000 horses? Horses, like people, have to eat.

Before the war horse goes to the battlefield, it is necessary to use concentrate feed to recuperate. If you are lucky enough to survive the battlefield, you have to give it fodder to eat. All of this requires money, not just words. Labor also costs money? Thou shalt feed them that mow the grass and carry it.

Next is the weapons of 10,000 people, and the armor on the soldiers is also a lot of money. Especially for weapons, the quality of bronze objects should not be too bad. But at that time, copper and other metal utensils were all old and expensive.

10,000 cavalry, the Qin State has already successfully trained. There are already men, but there is a shortage of weapons and horses. The grain and grass of 10,000 cavalry, the Qin State also prepared.

For Shang Ying, equipping 10,000 cavalry is a huge amount of money, which is an astronomical amount. Not only that, Qin Xiaogong also thinks that this is a huge amount of money.

Even the magnates of the Qin State felt that they couldn't take it out. Although they are nobles of the Qin State and are very rich, in the face of national disasters, their property is also being consumed.

It is precisely for this reason that the whole Qin State has engaged in a fundraising operation. Everyone contributed to make up the money. Outcome! He also raised more than a dozen boxes of jade, jewelry, jewelry and the like. Just a dozen boxes are far from enough to equip 10,000 horses.

For the nobles! Jade, jewelry, and the like are only worth a penny when you have money and want it, and not a penny when you don't need it or don't like it.

Shang Ying was not sure in his heart: Can the old man help with this?

According to Bai Mei, as long as he speaks, his father will definitely agree. Isn't it 10,000 horses, 10,000 people's armor and weapons?

My dad is Baekyu! The world's giant businessmen, gathering the world's wealth in one, what is the equipment of 10,000 cavalry? Even the equipment of 100,000 cavalry is also at hand.

Shang Ying thought: Bai Mei was comforting him.

How is that possible? Not to mention whether you have this ability, can you equip 10,000 cavalry? Even if there is, you have to think about it!

Not to mention that you are a son-in-law, you are a son, such a large investment, the old man also has to weigh it. Let alone! You are a son-in-law! A son-in-law who hasn't met yet.

Furthermore! This 10,000 pieces of equipment were used to attack his home country, Wei.

Bai Mei stood aside with her son in her arms, and also looked at her father with an anxious face. Under Shang Ying's interpretation, she didn't count in her heart, I don't know if my father can agree?

Oh, yes! That's not a small amount! If it was a small amount, my father might have given it to me as a dowry. Can this?

The surrounding guards, listening to Shang Ying's words, were expressionless one by one. Especially the guards who often followed Bai Gui's side, they saw Bai Guanren talk about a lot of business. It's a common thing.

"Ten thousand?" Bai Gui listened, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I thought: My son-in-law, I thought you wanted me to equip you with 100,000 troops at once. Originally! Just 10,000?

No problem! It's like Lao Tzu marrying his daughter.

But! On the surface, he remained silent.

said: "Equipping 10,000 cavalry is not a problem, you must first prepare the money you have prepared for me, and I will send you 10,000 horses first." Weapons and armor can only be transported from the state of Chu. At the checkpoints along the way, you Qin and Chu discussed through the relationship between countries.

Horse! You sent people to the northern border, and I sent people to the border, and your cavalry went to one man and one horse. I don't need to say much about how to do it. As long as you don't attract the attention of the Yiqu people and the northern nomads, that's it.

Other than that! I'll also give you a batch of iron weapons. If it's good! Let's negotiate the price! I am a businessman, in business, value for money, everything is costly. Even with interest, if it's not cost-effective, I won't sell it. ”

Before coming, Linquan Castle developed a number of iron Changge, sabers and other weapons. Other than that! Iron wheels were also developed.

Iron wheels are more wear-resistant than copper wheels and are not easy to break.

To whom will these iron weapons be sold? There is no need to ask, it is naturally sold to the Qin State.

Only by making the Qin State strong can history be changed. Furthermore! The son-in-law Shang Ying is an official in the Qin State, if you don't sell it to your son-in-law, who will you sell it to?

To make war money, who will sell to whom, that is not Bai Gui's personality.

Whoever wants to sell to whom will only cause chaos in the world. That's it! It wasn't Baekyu's original intention.

"Daddy!" Shang Ying changed his tone and shouted, "Iron weapons? ”

"We found a mine that is harder than copper, but also tougher than copper, less prone to breakage, and is a substitute for copper."

"This?"

Shang Ying really doesn't know much about this aspect. But! When I heard that it was a substitute for copper, I was very happy.

It's high-tech! If our Qin State has a new type of weapons and equipment, coupled with the combat effectiveness of our army, then! The odds are even greater.

"Daddy! I promise! It must be monopolized at a price that you are satisfied with! Our Qin family bought it! ”

Shang Ying thought to himself: As long as you can win the battle, money is not a problem. Just like King Wei Hui! The wealth of others is the wealth of our Qin State.

"I'm only going to sell it to you!" Bai Gui said with a smile.

"Daddy!" Shang Ying left his seat, knelt in front of Bai Gui, and thanked, "Thank you!" On behalf of Qin Gong, I thank you! On behalf of the people of Qin, I thank you! Thank you on behalf of humanity as well! Sell it to me! Let the world end the war as soon as possible, so that the people and mankind can live happily ever after......"

"Bang Bang!" Shang Ying kowtowed to the ground and made a sound of "bang".

"Good! Hehehe! Bai Gyu laughed.

After Shang Ying got up, he sat back in his seat, picked up his wine glass, and saluted the old man's wine.

"Good!" Bai Gui readily agreed, and drank all the wine in the cup.

The big thing is basically settled, next! Bai Gui discussed the details with Shang Ying.

If the Qin state wanted to develop, it had to trade. Or rather! You have to be in contact with the outside world. And the current situation is that the gate to the east is blocked by Wei and Korea.

If the eastern gate cannot be opened, the Qin State will never be able to develop.

To the south, is the state of Chu. If you completely rely on the Chu State, you will also be controlled by others and will be manipulated by the Chu people. The king of Chu tells you about his relatives, but the courtiers and other people below Chu don't necessarily talk to you about his kinship, and they will take care of you when it's time to handle it.

To the west, northwest or north, there are ethnic minorities such as Yiqu. It is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the place is deserted and inhabited. People still want to come to you to buy supplies, where are the supplies you need?

So! If the Qin State wants to develop, it must open the eastern gate.
