"Are you an orphan?" Mo Li teased Shang Wen and asked.

"Hey, it's not funny at all." Shang Wen saw that Mo Li actually made a joke of himself.Shangwen became serious instead.

"I just know some science and apply it. I have a lot of research in weapon manufacturing. It's a pity. The environment and equipment here don't allow me much room for development, but I know how to make these weapons." Shangwen said sincerely.

Hearing this, Elder Mo frowned.

"That's right. These gunpowder weapons were indeed invented by me. There are weapons that are more powerful than the flintlock guns held by these people. Although weapons are improving, Qin is also making progress. I think this is a historical necessity. Shangwen explained according to his own logical thinking.

"In my opinion, if the side with better weapons has more advanced technology, then they must be advanced, or in other words, able to adapt to this society. This is a historical need and a progress of the times." Shang Wen said .

"Is this also the reason why the prime minister wanted Qin?" Elder Mo asked.

"Well. Maybe it is, but I think it may be that history has killed Qin. So many countries, why did Qin fall, but after going through many battles, I have also participated in some wars. The Qin army fought against the Huns I participated in it when I was in China, and the weapons I invented killed and wounded many people. I also participated in many wars. For example, the war between Qi State and Yan State. In the war, many people died. They died because of the weapons I invented. At this time, he seemed very self-blaming, but Shang Wen spoke up on his own.

"I feel terrified. I originally thought that these weapons could be used against the enemy. But maybe I was too cowardly. Or, I can't tell what it is. In short, it's very contradictory." Shang Wen explained, waving his arms.

"I am a weapon developer, and I am very fanatical and obsessed with developing weapons and pursuing interests." Shang Wen said.

"Because I know what I need. Therefore, I am obsessed with these things. However, I myself am afraid of killing, but I am also engaged in a killing business, inventing weapons, and pursuing interests. This is very contradictory. Really contradictory. I often I will calm down and think about it. Whether it is Huns, Hu people, or people from the Western Regions, people from Yan State, Zhao State, Qi State or Chu State.” Shang Wen said uncontrollably.

"They're all using their weapons to kill each other desperately. When I see the killing, sometimes I'm confused. Frightened. Lost." Shang Wen said to Mo Lao like a mentally ill patient.But Mo Lao couldn't understand the young man in front of him.Mo Li on the side listened to Shang Wen telling her pain.

Mr. Mo could only listen to Shang Wen's narration silently, because he couldn't interrupt at all, and there were many things that Mr. Mo couldn't understand.

In the Western Regions of Qin State, King Qin felt chills on his back after inspecting the border smuggling trade on the spot. He asked Meng Tian to send a telegram to Meng Yi to inform Meng Yi of what happened here.However, the King of Qin believes that further investigation should be carried out to see how far the border smuggling trade has developed.So he quickly sent people to investigate, from southern Xinjiang to northern Xinjiang.Even in the Qiang area.King Qin really wanted to know how extensive the smuggling trade was at the border of Qin State.

In Xianyang, Qin State, the marketing department of Li's Arms Company was having heated discussions.

"Weapons are easy to solve. Field artillery is not powerful enough for tough battles. We can export large-caliber mortars to solve the problem. Moreover, these mortars will rust when left on. These things are waste products to us." A weapons marketing manager said.

"If necessary, we can also export some machine guns to the Zhao people. But the problem is not weapons. The crux of the problem is, what does the Zhao people pay for? Is it a stone?" said the weapons market manager.

"I am the representative of the weapons market in the Zhao area." A middle-aged man stood up and said.

"The current civil strife in the Zhao country is a good time for us to sell our weapons. Wherever there is war, our weapons are needed wherever there is, and our market is there," said the Zhao country marketing manager.

"We sell weapons to Zhao Guo, and let them pay on credit. As long as they sign the purchase contract, we can get the money we want with the contract. Isn't this a good thing?" Zhao Guo Marketing Manager Said.

"As Manager Li said, our weapons are rusted in our own weapon warehouse. We might as well sell them to the Zhao people and let the Zhao people beat themselves." The marketing manager of the Zhao country said.

"Yes, our weapons can be rusted in our own weapon warehouse, but don't forget. Zhao Guoren has not paid the last sum of money, and now he has to buy weapons again. This is another payment in arrears, We are a weapon company, and we are an enterprise." Manager Wang looked at the other party.

"It is also a commercial organization. What do our commercial organizations gather together? To make money, these weapons require costs to manufacture, and we need to purchase raw materials. We need to hire workers, then manufacture finished products, and then sell the finished products to merchants. Only at this time can we get The money, the money is our capital, the blood of our business organization. Without blood, we can’t transfer it. If a lot of foreign debts cannot be collected, our funds can’t be returned. Then the next purchase of raw materials, and The wages of the workers will not be able to be paid. At that time, I am afraid that those funds cannot be recovered, and we will go bankrupt. Zhao Guoren, don’t have to pay this money, we just go bankrupt.” The manager Wang said Said politely.

After all this is said.The marketing manager of Zhao Guo District stopped talking.Obviously, if foreign debts are defaulted, Qin's arms enterprises will not be able to operate.

"No one will bear such a risk. Business is risky. Of course we can see the money we make, but we can only complete the transaction with the money in our hands. The order is empty, and no one pays in the end. This kind of business , who dares to do it?" Manager Wang shouted loudly.

Everyone present fell silent.Everyone present understands that Zhao's business is very attractive, because Zhao's nobles from all over the country are pacifying the miners' riots in the mining area. The combat power is extremely unbalanced. Although the noble army has an advantage in terms of infantry weapons, it is helpless in terms of tactics, plus training and combat experience.Zhao Guo's noble army can't fight against the opponent at all.In this way, the pacification of the riots cannot proceed.

In desperation, the nobles of the State of Zhao pinned their hopes on the advanced weapons of the State of Qin. Originally, they thought that they could solve the battle by purchasing a batch of artillery, but the ensuing battle showed that it was not so easy.As a result, the nobles were a little disappointed, but the pacification of the riots still needs to continue, and at this time the people of Qin State will then sell them a batch of different artillery.But the nobles of the Zhao state were unable to continue to pay for these weapons.They hoped that after the riots were put down, they would take down the mining area and use a large amount of coal mines to compensate for the losses, but Qin's weapons company was very concerned, and they did not get the first tranche of funds.Next, who will know if they will be able to pay the second tranche of funds, you know, the funds can only be paid after the mine is taken.Coupled with the operation of the enterprise, there will also be great risks.Qin's weapon company is very concerned.

On the one hand, Qin Guo really wanted to swallow this order, because they still had a large amount of inventory in their hands to digest, and Zhao Guoren also needed this weapon, but on the other hand, Zhao Guoren could not pay for the weapon. The two sides formed a stalemate.The people of Qin State have weapons, and the people of Zhao State need weapons, but one can’t get money for it, and the other can’t pay the other party, so the two sides are at a stalemate.

The southern part of Qi State, where the guerrillas are active.

"Hey, go ahead and see if there is a convoy. Hurry up." A guerrilla leader gave an order to his subordinates.

"Sir, there are no more convoys from the Chu army recently. The number of convoys is getting smaller and smaller. Now our guerrillas are everywhere, attacking everywhere. How dare the Chu people come out." The subordinate said dissatisfied.

"Go quickly and see if there is a convoy. If you don't grab some, you won't be able to get rid of it." The guerrilla officer cursed loudly.

"Yes, sir." The subordinate left reluctantly.

But the logistics supply line of the entire Chu army has been completely cut off by the rapidly expanding guerrillas.The already weak and tense Chu army's logistics supply line has been unable to provide more logistics supplies to the front line, and the entire Chu army has fallen into a state of stagnation in logistics supplies.

In this situation.The Chu army's logistics personnel began to curl up to avoid the opponent's powerful stone.

"The current situation is very bad for us." A Chu army general said.This is a forward barracks for the Chu army's logistics supplies.

"It's all Qi people outside. I don't know when these Qi people got up so many people at once." said an officer with a mustache.

"Anyway, the situation for you and me is not good. We only have more than 2000 people in our hands. Those Qi people, let alone tens of thousands, rushed here all at once. How can we fight? I don't know what the higher-ups think." The general said worriedly.

"Yesterday, some of the scouts we went out to search came back, but most of them couldn't come back," the Chu army officer said.

"It seems that they have come to our side. Strengthen the defense. If you and I can keep the rent, it is considered good. Fortunately, we have stockpiled some supplies here, and we can last for a while. If we can't, you and I will also Just." The general of the Chu Army said pessimistically.

"General. I'm going to dig a ditch right now." The officer said and left immediately.

"Hurry up, dig deeper." Outside the camp of the Chu army, the soldiers of the Chu army were mobilized, and they began to continuously strengthen the defense of the trenches. Some Qi guerrillas had no attack convoy, and a small group of troops attacked them.And if the Chu army retreats, they will be caught in the attack of the guerrillas. In that case, they will be more passive, so the Chu army will stand by and wait for help.

Because the defense is unshakable.They firmly believed that the weapons of the guerrillas in Qi State were backward and they could not attack them at all.As long as they stick to it, they will be able to get reinforcements from Chu State, and in that case, their situation will be resolved.

With the rapid reduction of the Chu army convoy.The guerrillas have been unable to obtain the supplies of the Chu army. As a result, the situation of the guerrillas is in a bad situation, because the reason why the Qi guerrillas can grow rapidly is largely due to the logistics of the Chu army. Supplies, now the Chu army does not supply supplies.The Qi guerrillas also felt uneasy.

"Damn it, the Chu army is curled up, we're going to starve to death." A guerrilla complained.

"If we don't come out again, we will starve to death." One of the subordinates then complained.

The situation of the guerrillas is like this, the Chu army is huddled, the guerrillas are active, and the two temporarily enter a state of persistence.

However, the nobles of Chu State are not feeling well now.

"Money, money, money, money is everywhere." A Chu nobleman shouted loudly.

"When can I not have money?" the noble said annoyed.

It takes money to build forts, and to make up for lost merchant ships, cargo ships also need money.During the war in Qi State in the north, the nobles also suffered a big deficit. If this continues, the situation of the nobles will be very bad.

"My lord, it's the time of spring, and we need more money." A counselor stepped forward and whispered.

"Oh." The nobleman sighed.

"The war in the Qi Kingdom is not over yet, and my family's wealth is almost wiped out." The nobleman sighed.

"Think of a way, tax more. Those untouchables. There is still a bit of oil and water." The nobleman thought for a while.I can't move my property, and I can't provide more money.Although the business is very profitable.But the cost is also high.Recently, in order to build a fort.A large amount of money is urgently needed to buy artillery, and the money for artillery has not been collected yet.Now that has the money to support other places.After thinking about it, the nobles decided to continue to levy and increase taxes on the Chu people in their fiefdoms, and the money will be settled from here.

"My lord, do this".The counselor looked at the nobleman worriedly.

"Is it not possible?" The nobleman looked at the counselor dissatisfied, but in desperation, the counselor had no choice but to do so.
