"En." Shangwen nodded.

"What kind of cooperation do they want to achieve with us?" Shang Wen then asked.

"It's mainly factories, and there are also trade cooperation matters. The geographical location of Wei Guo and the others is very special, and there is a rush of traffic." Meng Yi said.

"Combined with their dense population, it is difficult for the State of Wei to solve its own problems when the land is reduced. According to my understanding of the State of Wei, the State of Wei, especially the provisional government of the State of Wei, lacks a lot of financial funds. If If they want to improve the current situation, they may only be able to encourage a large number of commercial trades in Wei State." Meng Yi said.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

"In what areas do you think Wei Guo has advantages?" Shang Wen asked.

"This, I think, they have a great advantage in terms of population." Meng Yi said.

"Currently, the land of Wei State is compressed to a very small size, but in such a place, there are still a large number of Wei State people living in such a narrow land." Meng Yi said.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

"When I was in South Korea, I learned that in South Korea, many factories are relocating or reopening. They are all located in Wei State. Because Wei State has a very obvious population advantage, many people want to eat. They will provide sufficient labor in a cheap way, such as those factories of blended fabrics, as well as sewing, shoemaking, leather, Korean factories are all moving in this direction, the reason is very simple, because the labor situation in Wei is very It's obvious." Meng Yi said.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

"Even our state of Qin is also gaining an advantage. Didn't we hire a large number of people from the state of Wei to build the railway in our state of Qin? The same is true for such things. The labor bureaucracy of the state of Wei is very obvious." Meng Yi said.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

"If Qin State set up a factory, what kind of factory do you think we should set up?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"I'm not sure about this, but maybe you should take a look at this." Said Meng Yi and submitted another report to Shang Wen.

"What is this?" Shang Wen asked.

"This is a report from the arsenal, which was submitted to Qin's Ministry of National Defense. The Ministry of National Defense doesn't know what to do with this matter, so they handed it over to me." Meng Yi said.

"This is a matter of bullets and flintlock assembly." Meng Yi said.

"Although Qin State can use machinery to complete the design of some rifles, we still cannot complete some steps that require human hands. For example, for those flintlock bullets, we can manufacture a large number of conical bullet caps, The bullets and grease paper are wrapped, and then the gunpowder is quickly added. But, wrapping, and oiling, and some other processes, we all need people, and flintlocks, flintlocks We can make a lot of barrels, triggers, Iron sears, springs, etc., but it still requires a lot of manpower to assemble." Meng Yi said.

"But what the current arsenal lacks in production is manpower, especially our arsenal employs manpower and the remuneration paid to them. The products produced and the remuneration paid to them can't make much money. Qin's salary level is too high .” Meng Yi said.

"They want to move all these things to other countries, such as South Korea, or Wei Guo?" Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi and asked.

"Yes. That's what they think. However, these things are produced by the Qin State. This requires the approval of the Ministry of National Defense, but the Ministry of National Defense is worried that this will make their situation not good, especially the loss of the interests of the arsenal. , and the existence of potential enemies. These are all things that the Ministry of National Defense should consider.” Meng Yi said.

"However, the production costs of our arsenal are piling up, and the profits are getting thinner," Shang Wen said.

"Yes, this is an indisputable fact." Meng Yi said.This is indeed a fact. Although it seems that Qin's arsenal is a high-salary or high-profit industry, in fact the products they produce do not have much competitive advantage.

In foreign countries, especially in countries like South Korea and Zhao, they rely on the imitation of handicraft workshops.They can also produce such muskets, but compared with the muskets produced by Qin State, Qin State has a price advantage, but it only has a price advantage.

The production process of the old-fashioned flintgun is not difficult. The Qin State can produce a lot as long as the assembly line operation is carried out, but the production cost is very high, especially the assembly, it is difficult to use machinery to replace it, especially in the assembly, bullets need a lot of female workers For production, male workers need to assemble the firearms. There are a lot of parts piled up, because these things can be produced in a standardized manner, but the assembly of firearms requires skilled workers. Even if they are given high salaries, they cannot assemble many.

The status of Qin State's current arsenal is very embarrassing, even though Qin State has been equipped with advanced bolt-back rifles.However, the trade products exported by Qin State are indeed flintlock rifles, which are modified valve rifles, and the price is also expensive.Transitional firearms are rarely equipped with fire caps, because the price of fire caps is too expensive.Many people can't accept it.Therefore, this kind of cheap and powerful flintlock has become a bestseller for the public, and all the arsenals in Qin State produce this kind of cheap goods.As more and more factories produced such muskets.Products are highly competitive and expensive to produce.Especially the artificial aspect.This greatly weakened the profitability of Qin's arsenal.

"I heard that in the Western Regions, someone has started secretly smuggling artillery?" Shang Wen asked such a thing.

"Yes, there is such a thing, because the profit of muskets is too little. They thought of cannons. After all, the production of cannons can still be standardized, especially with the use of drilling technology, but the production of muskets is really exciting. Worried, the competitiveness is too great. Now many arsenals are considering whether to transfer these things to these countries." Meng Yi said.

"En. Yes. It can be developed through the patent protection of combustion technology and cooperation. It can be migrated to South Korea, Wei State, and Zhao State. Taking advantage of the current technical advantages, we can provide parts and let them To assemble on a large scale." Shang Wen said.

"That's it. It's fine." Shangwen said.

"It's just that this is a military industry." Meng Yi didn't expect Shang Wen to agree so quickly.

"Yes, this is military industry. They are not only military weapons, but also products. No product can be sold forever. The flint gun produced by Qin State was a very powerful weapon before, but now they are not good. Cheng If you buy antiques, give full play to their final value before they enter the museum. Approve such a plan. The production and assembly of these weapons will be relocated abroad, as long as we have more advanced weapons. These are for us It’s something that can be discarded, it’s just an outdated product.” Shang Wen said.

"It's just that, in this case, it will pose a great threat to our safety." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"Military industry is also an enterprise. As an enterprise, it needs to make profits and survive. If such projects with high costs and low profits are maintained for a long time, the competitiveness of enterprises in Qin State will drop a lot. In the future, when we do When there is a response that needs to be improved, I am afraid it will be too late, I think, this is what you don't want to see, right?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yes." Meng Yi nodded.

"So, we have to follow the trend to promote this matter. Anyway, we are blocking, and in the end others will want to do this matter. Intelligence, especially the wisdom of ordinary people, is very admired." Shang Wen further explained. .

"En." Meng Yi nodded.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

"Has Prime Minister Zhang been laid off?" Han Shu asked the imperial doctor sent.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhang's illness is fine." The imperial doctor replied.

"Oh?" Han Shu looked at the imperial doctor.

"Since there is no serious problem, why don't you go to court?" Han Shu asked.

"Could it be that it's not comfortable there, so you can't come?" Han Shu asked.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Prime Minister Zhang's illness is not due to external illnesses, but to his heart disease." The imperial doctor looked at Han Shu and said.

"Heart disease?" Han Shu asked.

"What's wrong with you? Tell me about it." Han Shu then asked.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Prime Minister Zhang did not want to go to court on purpose. I heard that Prime Minister Zhang and the king had some disagreements, so I called him sick." The imperial doctor replied.During this period, the Korean government broke out a thriving situation.Han Shu can accept different opinions. She actively learns from Qin Guo and commends those who dare to express their views. If they do not have their own opinions, Han Shu will reprimand the other party without reservation.

"Oh?" Han Shu looked at the imperial doctor.Regarding Zhang Liang's matter, Han Shu vaguely felt that she seemed to have done something wrong.The fact that Zhang Liang dared to do this shows that he really did something wrong.

"What have you heard?" Han Shu asked.

"I heard that Zhang Cheng is dissatisfied with the king's ban on finance, especially the securities. He hopes to attract the king's attention through this method." The imperial doctor said to Han Shu.

"Hmph, this finance is so dangerous, doesn't the widow know about it?" Han Shu said.

"The king is angry. I think that the prime minister also has good intentions. I think Qin has accumulated a lot of money by means of finance. At present, Qin's enterprises are getting bigger and bigger. This is a good way for South Korea to learn." The target." The imperial doctor continued.

"Okay. Okay. I understand. I understand what you mean. However, there are still many things that need to be paid attention to. If it is not handled well." Han Shu stood up a little annoyed.

"Don't discuss this matter anymore. Do your job well, that's it. You go down first." Han Shu waved at this time.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The imperial doctor nodded.And Han Shu began to walk around, she felt that Zhang Liang's ideas had never been wrong, so if she was right this time, wouldn't she have missed a good opportunity.

"If this is really the case, am I wrong?" Han Shu asked herself.
