322 wants to make war money
"Look at the good things you've done. Now the profits of the arsenal are falling every day. You've also canceled so many orders at this time. This arsenal is running out of steam. Yingyu shouted at Shang Wen. And Shang Wen looked at Yingyu's menacing expression with an innocent face.
"If you have something to say, speak slowly." Shang Wen reassured.
"I can't tell you slowly. The stock fell to forty and a half taels today. Did you know or not? Tell you about this nerd. You still have 30% of the shares. The stock went down, and there was no benefit to you. Yingyu warned Shang Wen.
"You sit down. Listen to me explain slowly. Good no good. Shang Wen pressed Yingyu to sit on the sofa.
"Honestly, this question. I also have a headache. Shang Wen said truthfully.
"You mean, there's no way around you?" Yingyu asked.
"Yes. Difficult. "Shang Wen thinks about something. The arsenal was transformed. Research and development of new weapons. For example, the latching mechanism. But this requires industrial support. Especially steel. Obviously, this can't be done. I'm busy fighting a war right now. It's not separated at all.
Well, since it can't be transformed. We have to look for other markets. But this also involves a diplomatic dispute. Shang Wen is very clear. When we develop trade with six countries. The arms trade is undoubtedly the hottest. Especially after the exercises. are clearly informed that there is an intention to buy. But actually. Now the state of Qin is given priority to satisfying its own country.
Now the major arsenals are able to start research all at once. That is, they have already fulfilled the vast majority of orders. Just between one and two months. These orders are basically completed. But what do you do after that? The only need for arms is the army. So they began to squeeze their heads to fight for orders from the military. And Yingyu did not adjust in time. As a result, it is now the factory that is least able to compete for orders in the hands of the military.
But from the perspective of the entire arms market. The market in the Qin State is undoubtedly the most competitive. The orders of the military are becoming more and more demanding. The Army, in particular, is full of tricks. For a moment such a cannon. For a while, I want such a weapon that can shoot a large number of bullets at once. There is only one demand side. On the supply side, there are five. The competition is getting tougher. And in the Kanto region. A musket is almost sky-high. The market is extremely vast. Shangwen wanted to open up this market for a long time. But it is difficult to deal with diplomatic provisions. Especially once both countries export weapons, triggering a diplomatic crisis, and then the army will jointly attack the Qin state, which is going to war against the other country with all its might. The military pressure on the Qin State will be very great. Shang Wen, the prime minister, is not dereliction of duty or dereliction of duty. It's that they don't have the ability to control. Shang Wen is also anxious about this. It was not known how the provision should be drafted.
Now Yingyu is brought up because of the matter of the arsenal. Shang Wen can only say this method.
"Say it." Yingyu has clearly lost her patience.
"Open up the arms market share of the six countries. This is the only way. Shang Wen said calmly.
"Sold to six countries. It's easy to do. Yingyu said.
"Easy to do. Easy to do. I did it a long time ago. The problem lies in diplomacy. Both warring sides sell arms to each other. First of all, it's not the attitude of both sides to your perception. It's just a moral issue. That's enough for you. Shang Wen said with a worried face.
"Nerd, I know you have a way. Hurry up and want to dry. Yingyu got up and walked to Shang Wen's side. Holding Shang Wen's shoulder, he said.
"The arms trade is different from other trades. First of all, his special attributes determine that he cannot sell to two opponents. Moreover, the diplomatic strategy adopted by the Qin State now is non-alignment. ”
"Bell." There was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" Shangwen asked.
"My lord, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom outside asks to see you." One of the guards said.
"Tell him I'm not there. I went out on patrol. Shang Wen said.
"Whoa." The guard agreed.
"See. Why do the envoys of Yan State run every day. It is because they urgently need this weapon. Now there is a great demand. The supply is very small. It's all about this damn diplomatic issue. Shang Wen said with a headache. Qin could not explicitly support one of the six states. Otherwise, several other countries will move towards union. If you support a swallow country. provoked the other five-nation coalition forces. The Qin army is more than worth the loss, and it is not in line with its own interests.
"It's a real problem." Yingyu said thoughtfully.
"Isn't it? I'm worried about that, too. Shang Wen said.
"There's a way, though. It is nothing but moral condemnation. However, it is possible to bypass the diplomatic and legal provisions between countries. Shang Wen looked at the table and said.
"How? Say it quickly, say it quickly. Yingyu asked eagerly.
"The first is that the state of Qin must let go of the law on the possession of weapons. Then, in accordance with this article, arms smuggling can be initiated. Shang Wen said.
"Possession of weapons, smuggling?" Yingyu said incomprehensibly.
"It's about allowing all civilians to own guns. Then in this way, the civilian market of the Qin State will be liberalized. In this way, there are more domestic guns. The need is particularly high in the six countries. Some people who are brave will definitely take guns and buy them in six countries. But this Qin State does not allow it. It is also taxed. So, this counts as smuggling. Shang Wen explained simply and vaguely. Because of something. Yingyu won't understand.
"Yes. I know. Then you can do it quickly. What are you doing in a daze? Yingyu urged.
"It can't be. Your father disagreed. And this is the most traditional legal provision. I can't imagine it. I can break through that law. Shang Wen said.
The state of Qin forbade infighting, and also forbade individuals to possess weapons. And this article was set in the era of Shang Jun. Arguably. It's a very long history. It's hard to break through if you want to. Large-scale flow of weapons. It was also not conducive to the rule of the King of Qin. In the case of harm to self-interest. King Qin will definitely make a choice.
"Otherwise, let's talk about it together. Tell me about the relationship. I beseech my father, the King. It really doesn't work. I will give some money to my father. Yingyu actually thought of bribing her father. This guy's head is simply used to being nurtured by merchant society. In order to achieve their own interests. Unexpectedly, by any means.
"You think it's possible. I think. Shang Wen shook his head.
"How do you know if you don't give it a try. Walk. Let's go to my father, the King. Yingyu pulled Shang Wen up as she spoke.
"I'm not going. At the very least, I have to draw up a draft. Shang Wen was really afraid of violating this in his heart.
"Are you scared? The timid and scared. I, Yingyu, really misjudged you. Yingyu said dissatisfied.
"Me." Shang Wen wanted to explain.
"Let's go." Yingyu pulled Shang Wen up from the chair.
