Chapter 90 The Three Purposes of the Western Regions Trade Route

Qin Jian recorded that each piece of armor was 1,344 yuan, and Qin Law often appeared in the property punishment of one shield and two armor, if it was two armor, it was equivalent to one year's salary for punishing the mercenary.

According to Yingyu's plan, the light cavalry had a saber, a bow and arrow, a crossbow with a range of 40 or 50 meters, as well as a steel helmet and a face bag, plus the three treasures of horse harness, how many thousand yuan did each light cavalry have?

However, once the equipment is out, the speed of the gallop is faster than that of the enemy, and if you can't win, you can't catch up.

When fighting, the sword is sharper, and one knife can break the opponent's copper knife, how can this fight? It was completely unilateral.

Heavy cavalry, holding a double-edged Tang Mo knife with a hilt as long as a zhang, a rattan armor and a steel helmet, slaughtered into the enemy camp like a wolf into a flock.

A one-foot-long Mo knife?! A single knife can slash a horse's head.

With great strength, combined with horse speed and knife strength, a single knife can split a horse in half.

Coupled with the lightweight rattan armor, it is simply invulnerable.

It's just that this equipment is extremely difficult to build.

Taking rattan armor as an example, the tough rattan needs to be soaked in water for half a month, but it is dried for three days, and then soaked in oil for a year and then taken out to dry, and finally coated with tung oil.

The biggest disadvantage is that it is afraid of fire and flammable, but pushing the grassland is like a god possessing the body.

As for the heavily armored charioters, they are completely steel fortresses. The detachable chariot is flanked by plough-like blades and equipped with long-range heavy crossbows, which are completely a torrent of steel when they gallop.

Why was the caravan so heavily armed?

It's not for aggression, it's to show the prestige of Great Qin, it's more about deterrence!

Aren't you afraid that the enemy will learn? Without the popularization of iron-smelting technology, it would not be possible to build it by looking at the real thing!

……

When Yingyu roughly depicted the equipment of the field brigade, the ministers were stunned.

It's like a pack of wolves entering the flock!

Even if the other party is a little more powerful, it is nothing more than a hyena pack.

In addition, Yingyu put forward the wonderful guerrilla tactics of the Protector Field Brigade: the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase after the sixteen-character policy, which made Meng Tian even more stunned.

You're ...... Do you want to face it?

has been unilaterally tortured and killed, but he is not brave enough to be a horseman, it is terrifying to think about!

This is simply the Go-kyu of sports warfare.

"As for equipping General Mengda with 30,000 field brigades, there is no problem technically......"

Yingyu Qingyue's voice rang out, "However, the biggest bottleneck is steel production.

Although there is a steel smelting technique, the output cannot keep up. When the disaster relief in South Korea is calmed down and the South Korean subway is rich in mineral resources, I plan to build a steel mill in South Korea.

With a large amount of steel and 30,000 field army equipment pushing across the steppe, it was only a matter of time.

More importantly, agriculture is booming, production has doubled, and steel has been banned.

Only when the plough, all kinds of cantuman, shovels, hoes and other agricultural tools are popularized and the efficiency of farming is greatly improved, can agriculture be promoted to a higher level. ”

Li Si instantly understood the key, and stepped forward to suggest: "Your Majesty, the old minister heard it, steel is the foundation that pushes Daqin to a higher level?!"

Once the relief of the 100,000 elite soldiers who went to Han and Zhao is over, half of them can be transferred to the steel mill on the spot. ”

The Spring and Autumn Period, although it is called the Iron Age, the level of iron smelting was extremely backward, and it was not until the Han Dynasty that there was a leap.

"Draw up a show!" Ying Zheng is simply neat.

"No!"

……

Ying Zheng's interest was undiminished, and he continued: "I have heard many times about Yu'er's Western Regions trade route plan, can there be a general blueprint? With such a large investment, how can we ensure that the Central Plains and other things are profitable? ”

"Father, there are three major purposes for opening up the trade routes in the Western Regions.

"First of all, the two sides are communicating with each other.

It is rumored that the Wu clan animal husbandry, and the public, reprimanded and sold, asked for strange paintings, and offered the king of Rong from time to time. The king of Rong even repaid it, and with the livestock, the cattle used the grain to measure the horses and cattle.

In addition to cattle, sheep, horses, leather and other things, the introduction of various local grain medicine will also be introduced, which will greatly enrich the dietary range of Qianshou and solve the problem of grain production. ”

The development of human civilization has generally gone through several stages, such as gathering, fishing and hunting, nomadism, farming, industry and commerce, and industry and commerce are high-level civilizations.

In this era of heavy agriculture and suppression of business, Yingyu can only go with the flow and skillfully integrate various resources.

Just the exchange of crops will greatly benefit the people on both sides.

Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, and Dawan brought back alfalfa, which can be used as pasture grass and eaten by humans, and the rhizobia symbiotic in alfalfa roots can synthesize nitrogen, so planting alfalfa can also fertilize the field.

There are also sesame seeds, soybeans in the shape of pods like silkworms, carrots, cucumbers, garlic, coriander, grapes, pomegranates, walnuts, safflowers, and other crops for oil extraction.

"Secondly, militarily distant and close attacks.

The most powerful field brigade will not only show the national prestige of our Great Qin, but also deter Xiaoxiao from coveting our Great Qin border.

The tragic lesson of the land of Baiyue, the alarm bell rings for a long time!

The caravan is mixed with all kinds of dark piles, and countless ears and eyes are planted in various countries along the way, and they will be my Great Qin's clairvoyance and ears.

Ten years in advance, or espionage, or assassination, or rebellion, or infiltration.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles.

After ten years, we will double the territory of Great Qin in one fell swoop with the smallest cost. ”

"Color......

The ministers suddenly boiled with enthusiasm.

When it takes ten years to lurk and prepare and launch a general offensive, isn't it precisely locked and targeted?

How could it be possible to attack Baiyue, and more than half of the soldiers died of miasma?

"The purpose of war is not to kill people, but to surrender without a fight, to occupy the territory and resources of the other side, including the population."

"Third, we will spend ten years assimilating our surroundings and enlightening and educating our minds.

Not only trade, the establishment of envoys, but also intermarriage, so that the barbarians know the Great Qin, accept the civilization and culture of the Great Qin, and imperceptibly infiltrate.

We bring more advanced civilization and productive forces, and bring a better life, who are the people at the bottom mixed with? ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Zhou Qingchen, the sycophant, had bright eyes, and a smile could be stepped forward, "Panlongjun's hand can be described as a grass snake gray line, and the veins are thousands of miles.

I remember that Yingyu proposed the third five-year plan, and the territory would be doubled.

Now it seems that Gongziyu already has a blueprint in his chest.

We have iron horsemen, but we are domineering;

We have an advanced civilization, which is the royal road;

What's more, the layout is ten years in advance, and the so-called heavy sword has no edge, and it will kill with one blow.

Minister, it seems that ten years later, the surrounding countries of Great Qin and other countries will even be included in my Great Qin without bloodshed.

To create another Great Qin, its deeds far surpass those of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors! ”

"Long live Your Majesty......"

"Panlongjun ...... for 10,000 years"

The First Emperor Dayue: "Good." ”

……

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" Zhisu Nei Shi Ganluo stepped forward.

"Speak!"

"Since the trade route in the Western Regions has been set as a national policy, the various export materials of the trade route may be included in the agenda in advance, whether it is silk cloth, or pottery, or even many series of heavenly objects launched by Panlongjun."

"The Seiko Division is under the name of my internal history, and it must also be synchronized.

Regarding the operation of the Seiko Division, Yingyu only asked the minister for a piece of land for unified planning and the construction of a workshop, but did not apply for construction funds and forced labor.

It has been less than three days since the start of each workshop. Can you tell us about the progress of the various matters? ”

Ganluo, also a legendary figure, when he was 12 years old, he sent an envoy to Zhao and Yan, deceived five cities in Zhao State, and deceived eleven cities in Yan State to come and see.

Unexpectedly, he was actually sharp and introverted, and he was also one of the nine Qings.

When Yingzheng was in charge of the government and took power from the hands of LΓΌ Buwei and Chang Poison, Qin's national policy was supplemented by diplomacy and military affairs, and the Ganluo vertical and horizontal skills of that year were less useful.

Over the years, it has been precipitated in the internal history of Zhisu, and it is in its prime, conscientious, and restrained like a heavy sword without a blade.

Yingyu's heart moved, this Ganluo can be called the youngest Zongheng family, and he is the best candidate to go to the Western Regions!

"It is rumored that Yingyu continues to summon big businessmen, and may continue to launch a series of strange tricks and tricks, which ones can be known to the father?" Ying Zheng asked sharply.

"Look at what my father said!"

Yingyu pouted and said, "In Xianyang, as long as my father wants to know, even if the rats in my house frolic a few times, my father will know it." ”

Then he looked around at everyone, "Due to the sudden natural disaster and Zhao Gao's prison escape, the rhythm was disrupted, but the advancement of various heavenly objects is under control."

Refined salt, simple clothes, kitchen iron pot series produced by Yidun's;

The production of strong wine, alcohol, bath soap series by Wu Rendi;

The production of furniture, harness and plough by the Gongyi clan, among which the three treasures of horse harness were the first to be satisfied with the military.

The production of cylinder cars, grinding discs and tea series by Baqing;

Zhuo's production of military series, mainly refined into steel Mo knife, sabre, and even agricultural firewood knife, machete series. ”

"Regarding the investment workshop and the helpers in the workshop, how did Gongziyu solve it?" Gan Luo asked, puzzled.

"As for the use of people's livelihood, I will only list refined salt, and the rest of the things are the same principle.

The construction of the workshop was thrown by the Yidun clan, the raw salt was purchased by the Yidun clan, and the wages of the mercenaries were paid by the Yidun clan......

The finished products obtained, Daqin left seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent was used as the income of the Yidun clan, and the Yidun clan only had the right to sell the refined salt of the three percent. ”

???

I saw that everyone was at a loss.

"Wow...... You're too cunning too. ”

Gan Luo reacted very quickly, rolled his eyes, and exclaimed, "I didn't get a single money from the imperial court, but I got seventy percent of the finished product?" Is the Yidun so stupid? ”

"That's the reason. This is wisdom and wisdom to create value! Yingyu half-tilted her head, looking proud.

Only then did everyone come to their senses and look incredulous.

"In this way, are you willing to do it? Can 30% of the finished product cover the cost? Feng Qu said in surprise.

"Of course not. Therefore, it must be combined with the border trade route to be effective. ”

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Yingyu continued to explain, "Set up a caravan to go straight to the Western Regions, after all, scarcity is expensive.

These things can only be profiteering if they are sold abroad.

Exchange the cattle, sheep, horses, leather, and other things needed to get back to Daqin, as well as the countries along the way. ”

The cooperation between Yingyu and Baqing, the water-powered cylinder car, the water-powered grinding plate, the flour pot helmet, and even the tea, the introduction of various artifacts is not a single point launch.

All of them are systematic combination plans, and systematic chain solutions are solved, and more importantly, they do not need to be funded by the imperial court, and are solved by borrowing the mode of commercial operation.

"Production, sales one-stop. The chariot of Daqin is once again full of vitality. ”

Yingyu said with a radiant look, "At the moment, it is like a precision machine, which begins to run slowly, once all links are smooth, this machine will run efficiently, and my Daqin will enter an era of rapid development." ”

"Seiko Division's production plan and the Western Regions trade route plan, do you think so?" Ying Zhengdao.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

……

"The minister thought that it was necessary not only to open trade routes, but also to establish envoys to the countries along the trade routes." Li Si stepped forward and added, "It is necessary to send important officials of the imperial court to the Western Regions along with the trade route to establish diplomatic relations!" ”

"Good!"

"After the spring planting ceremony, Yingyu will rush to Han and Zhao to assist in disaster relief."

The First Emperor continued, "The envoy to the Western Regions first opened up trade routes and established envoys, who does Yingyu think will be sent? ”

According to Yingyu's plan, the Silk Road in the Western Regions first opened Kangju, Dawan, Dayueshi, Daxia, Anxi (now Yin Lang), Shenfu (now India) and other countries.

The ancient silk road of the past is full of historical sites.

There are the world-famous art treasure house - Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, the end of the Great Wall - Jiayuguan, Qinghai Bird Island, known as the "Kingdom of Birds", the picturesque "Plug on the Jiangnan", and the Turpan Basin, which is known as the hometown of singing and dancing and melons and fruits.

If it weren't for the disaster relief, and then rushed to Pei County to serve as the county commander, Yingyu would very much like to go to the Western Regions, see the exotic customs along the way, and appreciate the style and culture of the ancient country.

"Father! When Erchen heard about Mr. Ganluo, when he was twelve years old, he sent an envoy to Zhao Yan, used stratagems, surrendered his troops without a fight, and obtained more than a dozen cities for the Qin State. ”

Yingyu immediately looked at Ganluo, "Mr. Ganluo has been dormant for more than ten years now, he is in his prime, he is already a heavy sword without a blade, if he is clumsy, what kind of achievement will it be to double the territory of my Great Qin?" I wonder if Mr. Ganro is still ambitious? ”

Gan Luo smiled reservedly: "I thought that the world was unified, and there was no longer a need for the Zongheng family!" Then he said to the First Emperor, "Your Majesty, please send an envoy to the Western Regions, and you will not be dishonored!" ”

"Good!"

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and added, "Salt, iron, alcohol and other substances are all important weapons of the country, and the secret recipe must not be revealed.

Coordinated by Ganluo, increase silk, pottery, cloth and other things, and bring a caravan to the Western Regions, I want to let the blessing of Great Qin benefit the world!

At the same time, let the Great Qin Field Brigade be majestic and shock the world. ”

"No!"

Gan Luo Dao.

……

"Regarding Yingyu's proposal for the production and sales of various heavenly things, it is ingenious and wonderful."

The First Emperor said again, "The Doctor's Palace can be used as a classic eucalyptus study, and it can be used in various fields!" ”

"No!"

Zhou Qingchen and others.

"The spring planting ceremony, this is an opportunity to spread the world.

I hope that all kinds of heavenly objects, including clothing, food, housing and transportation, can be displayed to the people of Qianshou. ”

"No!"

Yingyu Road.

"Gan Luo obeys!" The First Emperor's Road.

"The minister is here!"

"The general history of the appointment of Ganluo and Daqin's envoy to the Western Regions, the envoy team is composed of three parts: the mission, the merchant group, and the field brigade, and the overall control of Ganluo, I will give you one month to prepare and set off for the Western Regions!"

"No!" Gan Luo stepped forward and said passionately, "Minister, you will not be dishonored!" ”

As a literati with feelings, who doesn't want to be famous in history? Wouldn't it be a great achievement to fool a few small countries into submission?

When the history of Su is governed for a lifetime, it will also be unknown to everyone.

……

"Father, the son has a play!" Fusu stepped forward and said.

"Speak!"

"Regarding the caravan of Great Qin, it should be centered on Xianyang, radiating the world, including the land of Nanyue. After all, the barbarian land must not only enlighten the mind and popularize civilization, but also import advanced Gezhi technology.

Fusu continued to say loudly, "The things displayed in the Spring Planting Ceremony are all lacking in South Vietnam.

Therefore, Erchen proposed that each of the three counties of South Vietnam should build a Seiko Division rudder workshop! ”

"Yes!"

Ying Zheng said, "After the spring planting ceremony, all the sons will leave Xianyang and rush to various places to sink and exercise, and the opportunity to meet will also be reduced, so hold a family banquet, right?!" The location is in ...... Ganquan Palace!

In addition to the rudder of the Seiko Division, you brothers can discuss how to control the miasma and how to manage the military reclamation! ”

"No!"

Yingyu reluctantly stepped forward.
