"Zou Hong, don't worry, the difficulties are temporary, soon the financial situation will improve, Taidang County's measures to absorb displaced people are extremely successful, the initial investment may be larger, but the return is also great, you don't keep your eyes on the peasants' little taxes, use your brains in other places to invigorate the economy, there are many ways"

Su Jun paused and continued:

"When the peasants have money in their hands, where will they spend it? Not all of them have to be spent in our Taidang County. As long as the money is circulated, there will be more and more, and you can introduce some good policies to stimulate the consumption of the people of Taidang County, don't worry that they will hide the money at home and not use it. ”

Su Jun wanted to popularize some market economy knowledge for his right-hand man, but as soon as he saw the looks of the two of them, he gave up, and just heard the word consumption, these two people were at a loss.

Su Jun nodded at Zou Youlin, and saw that although Zou Youlin's face looked better, he was still in a heavy state, and couldn't help but smile and said:

"Okay, okay, let's tell you the truth, I'm ready to let the artisan battalion also do a little business, make some extra money for Taidang County, there are tens of thousands of craftsmen in our artisan camp, and they have developed a lot of good things, but their daily consumption is not small, and they can't make money, they should let them feed themselves, not only to support themselves, but also to bring us the greatest benefits."

Su Jun's words were earth-shattering, Yan Qinghua had never heard Su Jun talk before, and he knew the inside story of the craftsman camp, some of the things developed there were top secrets in Taidang County, how could they be sold?

"By all means, Master Su, although there are some things in the craftsman camp that can make money, but the most valuable thing is the weapons they developed, once these things are sold, our Taidang County will no longer take advantage of weapons and equipment, although this can get some money to solve our current economic problems, but doing so is tantamount to digging our own graves, drinking water to quench our thirst, and in the future we will be able to lift stones and shoot ourselves in the foot."

In a hurry, Yan Qinghua was a little speechless, and said in her heart, even if we are too poor to eat, we can at least pick up these weapons to rob our neighbors and barbarians, but if we give these sharp weapons to others, then it will be ourselves who will suffer from them in turn!

Su Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously, "Don't be afraid, we can sell it, and we want to sell the best, the most expensive, and the most profitable things, for example, I believe that the other princes and kings see such good things, even if we shout a sky-high price, they will rush to buy it." ”

This time, even Zou Youlin didn't do it, although he was so poor that he was about to go crazy, but this kind of killing chickens and eggs was absolutely not something to do, seeing that Su Jun didn't seem to be joking, he also said anxiously:

"Master Su, I can think of another way to raise money for the money problem, but these treasures developed in our craftsman's camp Gada can never be sold."

Su Jun raised his head and said proudly: "You don't understand this, listen to me explain it to you slowly."

"Why do we want to sell the best?" Su Jun asked Zou Hong and Yan Qinghua with a smile.

Both of them shook their heads in confusion, and at the same time, their expressions were still stubbornly opposed.

"Like the mechanical crossbow that Ma Deheng just made that can fire hundreds of arrows in a row, do you think the craftsmen of the five vassal states can imitate it now?"

Su Jun asked mysteriously.

Yan Qinghua thought for a while and said: "The structure of the organ crossbow is extremely complicated, but the background of the major princes and kings is stronger than that of our Jinxi Six Kingdoms, so they have more skilled technicians, as long as they are given enough time, they should be able to figure out his principle and structure, but it is difficult to imitate it, because they don't have the refined iron and Jingao ore to make powerful springs, and the Jingao mine is better to say, but the kind of steel you said, Su Ye, other countries absolutely don't have it." ”

Su Jun slapped his face and said with a smile:

"That's right, that's right, and the fine iron we use to make the mechanical crossbow is not an ordinary ordinary product, Li Yongchang divided the steel he got out into grades, the ordinary one is used to make knives and guns and other weapons, and the better one is used to make armor-piercing arrows, armor-piercing crossbows, only the best, strength, toughness has reached a very high standard of steel is used to make this kind of powerful pressure spring, since others don't have this material, then even if we figure out the structure of the repeater?"

Su Jun paused, drank his saliva and continued:

"Even if the other princes and kings have money and skilled craftsmen, can they make them? The answer is no, none of them can make it. But once they use this kind of thing, they will rely more on these things, what should they do? Buy, buy from whom, buy from us. This is our exclusive monopoly, and if the relationship is not good, we won't sell it to him."

Su Jun smiled proudly: "So, what we want to keep secret is not the repeater, but this kind of powerful steel." As long as the other princes and kings can't research strong steel, they can only rely on us. The price, of course, must be set high, and they can't afford to buy too much large-scale equipment, and this kind of repeater has a service life, so what should I do?

It doesn't matter, we can provide maintenance services, of course, this is also a charge, a higher charge is acceptable to others, after all, it is a treasure bought at a high price, how can it be used for a few years to let him be damaged? Sell the goods to them once, collect the money once, and continue to charge maintenance fees every year after repayment, maintenance fees, of course, are not cheap, this is a profitable business."

"Do compound pulley bows sell or not? Of course it sells."

Su Jun spread his hands and continued:

"Can other countries pull a tightrope string? Of course, you can't pull it out, you can only buy it from us, the steel wire strings don't have to be installed too well for them, and they have to collapse after a year and a half, but even so, they have to be used more than the leather strings, at least they don't have to be afraid of rain and humidity, so that the leather strings can't be used, and they have to buy from us if they collapse. ”

Yan Qinghua and Zou Hong are not extremely smart people, especially Yan Qinghua, how smart she is, it is definitely a little thorough, Su Jun has said this, how can she still not understand, the two glanced at each other, Yan Qinghua took the lead and said:

"Although the pulley of the composite pulley bow is not worth the money, it is that it breaks quickly, and other people may imitate this thing, but we can state to the buyer in advance that our pulley is used with the steel wire string, if you do not use our special pulley, it will speed up the damage of the steel wire string, well, as for how to say and publicize it, I believe Zou Youlin will also have a lot of ways."

Su Jun laughed and said in a loud voice.

"It's not my chief thinker, my brain is active, that's what I think, why should you be afraid that they will use these things against us in the future? If we really need to fight them in the future, will we still sell them to them? Oops, no, we fought a few battles, the string broke, I didn't have to change it, the crossbow was broken, I didn't have to buy it, they still fart, wash the neck and wait for us to cut it"

Su Jun smiled treacherously, with a lewd look on his face, his eyes shining, and he yearned for it.
