"Do you think that's possible?" Zhao Deming asked in disbelief. He was www.biquge.info commander of the fifth fortress established by the Zhao State on the plateau. As the commander of Fort Five, his duty was to hold his ground. But he got a telegram from home. The domestic telegram had him recruit some of the mountain Qiang people here as their reinforcements. He was very perplexed by such an order.

"Sir, I think we should believe the above thoughts, maybe let's catch some mountain Qiang people and go back." His adjutant, Lieutenant Ma Quan, said so.

"Damn, you're talking about captured slaves, not soldiers, and the people we capture are going to fight. Instead of going to work. Zhao Deming said with some annoyance. He was very annoyed by such an order. Because he's here to be the commander of the defense. He had originally wanted to come here to do some business with these mountain Qiang people and prepare for his retirement, and he had just taken up the post of major commander of this company. His future is bleak, and he can only hope to do some business to amass some money. Then honorably retire, go back to do some business and so on.

However, his superiors always gave him some inexplicable orders. He felt that it was difficult for him to finish.

"Sir, we can give it a try, capture the slaves, and solve the problem of soldiers. We do this every day, and I think we can solve this problem by providing a part of the troops. Ma Quan said at this time.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Deming asked patiently.

"I mean, sir, we can take those slaves. to top up. Ma Quan said at this time.

"Charge?" Zhao Deming asked.

"Yes, sir, that's all there is to do, I really can't think of any other way to do it." Ma Quan said.

"Yes. Well, maybe you're right. Zhao Deming said.

"At present, the best income we have obtained here is these slaves, we can make very little money, and most of the profits go into the hands of the Qin people." Zhao Deming said indignantly. The first business that Zhao Deming came here to do was the slave business, and he was different from the people in Ping'an Fort. The people of Ping'an Fort all went to catch slaves by themselves, which caused the people around Ping'an Fort to hate them very much. In this regard, Zhao Deming accepted the suggestion of his adjutant Ma Quan, and took pacification measures, taking advantage of the peace of trade and their exchange. Rifles were exchanged for slaves, or various goods for slaves, and he also set up a bazaar not far from his fortress. He was used to exchange slaves for his needs, but his business was limited to the slave trade. Some important household items became the patent of the Qin people, and the Qin people used them in exchange for things they thought they liked, such as women, fine sheepskins, or other precious furs. And he himself can only do such a business occasionally.

"We didn't make much money, and now we have to give these slaves to the top. I was really annoyed. Zhao Deming thought about it himself and said.

"You'd better think about whether we have any other business possibilities. I don't want to be in my own position and not be able to do anything. Zhao Deming said angrily.

"This, sir, I think it's actually good to do this, we can bring in some goods from the people of Qin, if we are soldiers, these people need to pay military salaries, we can use their military salaries instead, this is better than the slave trade, the population of this place is not a struggle, and the slave trade does not benefit much." Ma Quanquan said.

"But doing this kind of business needs the support of the people of the Qin State, and besides, can you be sure that we can give them enough military salaries?" Zhao Deming asked.

"We can give it a try, and we can make a lot more money by trading things in this way, but it will be very slow. And the profits are unstable. Ma Quan said.

"Well, just do as you say. You'd better get this done as soon as possible. If it does, it will be of great help to our business. Zhao Deming nodded and said.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the mountainous Qiang people are located, is extremely difficult to develop here because of its special geographical environment, and it seems that everything has to pay a great price to complete a thing, which makes the Zhao Jun stationed here extremely troubled, because they are not worried about the garrison life here. It's about how to start their own business in such a barren land and earn enough for their decommissioning. It is impossible to count on their poor salaries to give them a good nourishment. This also made Zhao Jun think hard to make money. For the orders of their superiors, they try to get the profit they want from it.

In the headquarters of Qinguo Xianyang Wenyan Bank.

"I know about the project." Yingyu said to Xiao He.

"This project is a government project, and if it is done, with the help of the government, we may get the right to trade in the entire southern part of the Western Regions. This is a very big tempting condition. Yingyu said.

"However, at present, our funds are somewhat insufficient, not only because of these, but also some of the risks that we are worth noting, in the southern part of the Western Regions, we don't know how much development value, the risk of development, these places are uncontrollable places, the impact on us is very large, and now the bank's capital is getting tighter and tighter, in this case, we can't have too much money into that place." Yingyu said worriedly.

"Yes. Chairman, I think we can arrange, or examine this direction, at least in the future, we can use it as a reference project. Xiao He said.

"Yes. If that's the case, we can still do this, after all, the cost is not very much, and we may be able to afford some of this kind of money. The chairman said.

"Yes. You can do this to see if there is any value in doing it, although it is one of the government's children, but we also have to pay attention to some special circumstances. Yingyu said. For the development of the southern part of the Western Regions, Yingyu believes that the current Wenyang Bank has to consider some risks, especially in the case of very tight funds, if there is a lack of funds, it will cause very serious consequences, and in the face of such risks, it is better to avoid these risks as soon as possible. That's what Yingyu intended, and they were a for-profit business organization.
