Chapter 613: Aircraft carriers
After Qin Xiaobai returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the first thing he did was to give full play to his role as a commander of the 5 scum and the fish leaping dragon gate after becoming a gold-level commander, personally commanding the soldiers and horses under his command and conducting a large-scale training of the Qin army.
The second thing is naturally that he loves the little money.
Today, Qin Xiaobai's three main sources of wealth are the tribute system and the sea and land Silk Road.
The most stable of these is undoubtedly the tribute Dafa.
With the huge attraction of eternal inheritance and the rest of the dynasty, the princes are very active in paying tribute, and there are still many princes who want to hug Qin Xiaobai's thigh, and it will be easier to do things after paying more tribute.
Therefore, the tribute that was supposed to be once a year has now been changed to once a month.
Basically, the total tribute paid by the princes every month can reach nearly 500,000 taels of gold, which is 5 million taels of gold a year.
Although the total amount of tribute will not fluctuate too much, it has allowed Qin Xiaobai to receive the payment in advance, and with working capital, many things will be easier to do, so it has also formed a big boost.
And the most unstable is the Maritime Silk Road.
Because the two brothers, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, have never done maritime trade, and they don't know that player merchants, especially foreign player merchants, are so treacherous and cunning, and they don't pay attention to discipline.
Therefore, when I started this transaction, I even lost some money and lost 300,000 taels of gold.
However, maritime trade, after all, is a golden road with the most room for development, and Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are from a commercial family, so after gradually becoming familiar with the business, they soon turned negative and began to make profits, this month not only made up for the deficit of 300,000 taels of gold, but also earned an extra 50,000 taels.
And this profit growth, is still in a straight line of rapid skyrocketing, I believe that in the near future, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang Brotherhood will be the coastal countries of the maritime trade. Make a golden road in the true sense of the word.
Finally, there is the Silk Road, which is both stable and profitable.
After all, the Silk Road has a systematic bonus effect, and there is Lu Buwei, the originator of commerce, to manage trade, so naturally it can't be earned anymore.
In just one month, Lü Buwei actually got back a million taels of gold for him, plus many treasures from the Western Regions.
In this way, Lü Buwei also said that this is just an appetizer to try the limelight first, and next month he will transport the materials produced in the golden territory, and the prefectures, divisions and other regions to carry out full trade. That number could be doubled even more.
This made Qin Xiaobai, who learned the news, happy and full of small money......
Although he had expected that the Silk Road would definitely make a lot of money, he didn't expect to earn it to this extent, and the doubling of one million gold is two million, which is not a windfall of stealing the treasury and stealing the imperial tomb, but a fixed income every month.
One can imagine what a huge fortune it will be once accumulated. It can be used to recruit and train as many soldiers and horses as many as it wants, and how many large-scale wars it can wag.
However, Qin Xiaobai has always been long, although he already has so much money. But I still want to earn more.
Since the goods currently circulating on the Silk Road are all manufactured in the Sili and Bingzhou regions, they can earn two million taels of gold, then if the entire thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty carry out trade on the Silk Road. How much should there be.
It is the most normal way to buy goods from other states and counties, but they are bought with money. Where is it better not to have money.
This doesn't cost money, so it's naturally a tribute to Dafa.
So Qin Xiaobai thought about connecting Dafa with the sea and land Silk Road, the three golden roads.
Let the princes no longer pay tribute of real money and silver, but instead pay tribute to silk, tea, pottery and other popular items on the Silk Road, as well as local products of various states and counties.
Then through the sea and land Silk Road, it was exported to overseas and the Western Regions, and then purchased treasures and materials from overseas and the Western Regions, and then took out a part of them, and went back to rank the princes, and rewarded them one by one according to the list before and after, so as to mobilize their enthusiasm.
In this way, the three golden roads will be connected into a line, resold with both hands, and recycled, and the effect will inevitably increase even more.
Thinking of this idea of making a lot of money, Qin Xiaobai suddenly couldn't sit still, so he immediately issued this decree to the princes.
And after this decree was issued, it received a very good response, and the princes unanimously praised it.
After all, although it is something of equal value, it is much easier to accept it than to let people pay tribute to goods than to take real money out of their pockets.
And Qin Xiaobai explained that he would take out the treasures of overseas and the Western Regions and reward all the princes, and the higher the tribute ranking, the more rewarding the princes.
Although what the princes want most is to inherit forever, but after all, it will be a long time later, compared to this empty future, it is still a little more real than the current small money......
Therefore, the princes naturally worked harder to pay tribute.
Seeing that the three golden paths were combined into one, Qin Xiaobai was overjoyed, and now he just had to sit back and wait for the benefits.
……
In addition to conducting large-scale military training internally and making a small amount of money, Qin Xiaobai is also extremely concerned about the external international situation, especially the dispute between Vietnam and Wanwan, which is crucial in the Huaxia region.
At this time, a month later, Wanwan and Vietnam had officially begun to fight, and it had entered a white-hot stage.
Although Vietnam was strong at this time with the might of destroying the country, in order to guard against the mainland of China, it still left most of its soldiers and horses on the mainland, so the actual combat power that could be dispatched was not much, and the actual combat power was weakened a lot.
Although Wanwan is small, it has the entire continent transfused blood for it, as if it has endless red and blue medicines, full of blood and blue in a state of full blood. Combat power increases rapidly.
Therefore, for a time, Vietnam not only did not swallow Taiwan, but Taiwan was able to defend and counterattack Vietnam.
Among them, it is worth mentioning that Wanwan has a very distinctive and outstanding tactic.
First, convert the deck of the massive King-class transport ship into an iron straight road, then unload all the cargo and load it onto the Divine Fire Raven.
In this way, air strikes on Vietnamese ships can always play a key role in naval operations, and even the weaker Vietnamese navy can be beaten to the head.
"I'm rubbing, isn't this an aircraft carrier?"
Qin Xiaobai couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and sincerely sighed that Wanwan really knew how to play.
Immediately, he was pleasantly surprised, because speaking of which, Wanwan had created a big move for him.
After all, whether it is a king-class transport ship or a divine fire crow, they are all specialties on his side.
The water war in Huaxia is not confirmed, but naval warfare has always been not very good at it.
But if this aircraft carrier can be developed into a scale and a group of aircraft carrier formations, then there will be no need to worry about naval battles in the future, and it will be a matter of minutes to push across the Japanese islands...... (To be continued.) )
