However, the fact that capital export is a trend cannot be changed. This is still powerless to change. South Korea’s economy is to some extent more advantageous than Zhao’s. Their geographical location is superior and the population is relatively dense. It is very important to set up some specialized labor-intensive industries. It is suitable, and they are facing the market of Qi State and the market of Chu State with huge potential, but Zhao State is facing huge challenges. Shang Wen has some headaches about this issue.

551 Factories and Farms

These are economic issues that are very difficult to deal with because Shangwen is not a graduate of an economics major. For economic issues, Shangwen can only rely on history rather than the economy itself.

In desperation, Shangwen discussed with Meng Yi, who was struggling to solve the economic problem, how to solve the current problem

But Meng Yi pointed out to Shangwen some problems that Shangwen did not see

With the influx of a large number of new labor forces into Qin's factories, there is still some accumulation of light industrial goods, but only accumulation. As the war between Qi and Yan unfolds, this situation will ease somewhat.

In addition, according to the security situation of Qin State, there are many ethnic minorities around Qin State. Qin State cannot blindly use force, which is very troublesome for diplomacy and intelligence development. Feng Quji made such a request that his people cannot enter these small or nomadic countries. Spying intelligence within the ethnic group is not only a language problem, but also more troublesome. The two sides have always been in a state of hostility. Qin can use force to destroy them, but it needs to pay a certain price, and dealing with these ethnic minorities will consume a large part of Qin's energy. The situation of Qin's garrison has become somewhat out of balance because a large number of armed forces are gathering towards Qin's border

Yao Jia put forward his own view. His view is to take advantage of Qin's huge domestic productivity to adopt a foreign policy of commodities.

His idea is very simple, that is, with the rapid increase of Qin's production capacity, some factories in Qin's country began to have a backlog of products. He thought that these products could be sold to these ethnic minorities. These ethnic minorities can use various resources in their hands to exchange. No, we can resort to war

Shang Wen synthesized some questions from various feedbacks. These questions are too difficult.

Shang Wen had to say this about the export of capital. This is not just a judicial and technical issue. Exporting equipment is a serious violation of the law.

Meng Yi also feels that things are a little more serious. Later, Qin will definitely experience the first crisis in a certain sector of the industry, mainly light industry.

Shangwen temporarily clarified this relationship with his scientific thinking, but after sorting it out, he found a major problem

First of all, Qin’s domestic light industry production, with the influx of a large number of labor forces, can produce a large number of leather shoes, leather bags, wool and linen blended fabrics. These are good materials for making clothes, and wool is also one of the important raw materials for a large number of blankets. There are a lot of them in the north. Sheep are no longer the supply of meat, but the main source of wool supply. At this time, people's demand is accelerating in winter. All major manufacturers are frantically processing these things.

But other things are burying some hidden dangers for the Qin State. For example, some capital exports to the Qin State have begun to suppress the shortage. It is probably inappropriate to say that Qin State has developed to this stage. The concentration of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises makes them urgent. I hope to release the capital in my hands to find the most profitable industry. South Korea has favorable conditions there, and the capital is willing to go there, but Qin is not willing to see it appear so soon.

The problem is not over here. Although it takes a certain amount of time from the establishment of factories to the production of goods, the emergence of these factories is enough to trigger a crisis in the production of these light industries in Qin.

As soon as these factories appear, the price is cheap first, and then they will quickly seize the original market of Qin State, the two major markets of Qi State and Chu State, which is not a small test for Qin State.

But there is also some good news. As the situation of Zhao Guo, South Korea and Yan Guo improved, they actively started trading with Qin Guo. If people have some money, they have a certain purchasing power for these products. This is the power of emerging markets.

Thinking of this, Shangwen thinks that instead of temporarily moving capital output to South Korea, it is better to put these light industries of Qin State in the north and west. Qin State will open up a new market there, but when this market is large enough, it can feed the domestic market. the power of these factory owners

But then a new problem arises and this problem is probably a big push for the abolition of the slave trade

If Qin State builds these factories to the west and north, there are some advantages in the area. There is a large amount of leather raw material land, but there is one biggest disadvantage. The market, where Qin State has no market at all.

The motivation for foreign wars is actually very simple. Capture slaves and rob a large amount of property. This is the driving force behind Qin’s primitive capital accumulation. Especially now that gold has been discovered in the west, Qin’s enterprises have begun to invest heavily in the west.

It can be said that the west and the north cannot be stable. Only war can speed up the primitive accumulation of capital in Qin, especially the issue of the slave trade. Many people got rich because of the slave trade, and the farmers did not allow the slave trade to be abolished. They have a lot of land in the fields. Slaves came to help them with their work and they couldn't imagine what would happen to their farms and ranches without the slave trade

But what the factory owners mean is that stabilizing the Qin State requires a stable condition to sell their products. They need local people to have purchasing power to buy their products so that they can make money. Expand production and sales of goods and then expand production.

However, the western issue and the northern issue obviously do not exist. Even if there is no market attraction to induce capital to export to the west and the north, these factories will still be pulled to South Korea.

Qin State needs a complete industrial system rather than a single industrial system, which is crucial to future development and one of the important reasons why Qin State can complete the unification

If you really want to move these factories, then you have to end the current situation of foreign wars and instead actively launch a certain peaceful trade strategy. However, if the problem is dealt with in this way, it will become more difficult. The surrounding areas are at war, except for the south, almost Qin. I have beaten all the neighbors and ethnic minorities all over the place. I am afraid that a deadlock has already been formed. At this time, a peaceful trade strategy is launched. I am afraid that Shang Wen thought about it and shook his head. Is it possible? Shang Wen thinks this is even a [-]% possibility You don’t even have xing, you hit someone, but at this time you have to do business with others

However, Shangwen still took up the pen to write out this seemingly stupid idea. He needs to see how much effort he can make in diplomacy and military affairs.

552 live valve gun in transition

Just when Shangwen and Meng Yi were discussing the solution to Qin's economic development nervously, Qin's marines brought a transitional gun

This gun is a transitional valve gun

The gun shooting competition in Qin State has led more and more people to participate in the research and development of new guns, especially the use of smokeless gunpowder, which makes people see the existence of powerful weapons, but in fact smokeless gunpowder has strict requirements on steel. The country can only produce such guns in a small amount. These guns can only be provided to some special people. For example, King Qin Wenyang and Princess Wenyang are special holders of these guns.

But another situation is that Qin's army is equipped with a large number of front-loading rifles, while the six countries are equipped with a lot of smoothbore guns. From a comprehensive view of various data, Qin currently conservatively estimates that it has more than 200 million guns, and this The numbers keep going up like crazy at 20 a month and that's a lot of arms spending and the arms factories keep busy

However, with the emergence of new technologies, especially the emergence of fixed ammunition, people are more and more satisfied with the front-loading guns in their hands. They need a simple musket that can be locked like a rotary rear pull type.

But that kind of musket is very expensive, so a middle-aged watchmaker named Bai Xin proposed his own modification method to the valve musket.

The valve musket is to modify the original large number of Lee-style rifles to change the front-loading muskets into breech-loading muskets to solve the current large-scale demand for breech-loading rifles.

The valve gun is actually a locking device. It is like a door that can be opened, so this rifle is called a valve rifle. There is a protrusion at the end of the valve door, which is used to get stuck with the gun body when the valve is closed.

The firing pin of the valve rifle is tilted so that it is placed in the valve, and after the trigger is pulled, the hammer rotates and strikes the firing pin. This modified shooting is very suitable for the current needs of Qin State. Qin people have long been dissatisfied with front-loading rifles. I don't want to use a lever-type shotgun, and I don't want to use a front-loading rifle, but now this design completely solves this demand. However, if it is placed in the long history, the appearance of the valve rifle is only a transitional type of gun, because it is Qin. State Iron and Steel has not yet met the increasingly large demand of the Qin State, so it came up with an emergency method on the spur of the moment

Baixin's trap door rifle was quickly favored by the Marine Corps, because the Marine Corps has a small number of only 6000 people, but they have to send more than 1000 people to maintain the security of Qin State in Yan State's Korean Concession. Few marines have a headache and the new rifles can't be fielded on a large scale, but now with the valve rifle, at least they can deal with the emergency

So Wang Ben quickly fell in love with this kind of rifle and refitted all the 65 rifles in reserve first. This is a big order for Bai Xin. When Bai Xin was excited, a news quickly stunned him. The army was listening. After talking about this kind of rifle, it is also required to modify and modify the total number of rifles to exceed [-]. Not only that, the defense forces of the Air Force have also begun to use this kind of rifle as their own standard rifle. Although the number is only [-], it is also a large enough market. Not only that, there are many After hearing about this kind of rifle, folks also began to ask him to modify it or pay a certain patent fee to modify the valve rifle by themselves.

Bai Xin couldn't imagine that a small invention he had accidentally encountered such a large order, which made him dare not even think about it. So he founded Bai's Gun Manufacturing in his middle age, recruited some workers from the bank to set up a factory, and transformed a large number of guns. military order

Not only that, he took the initiative to cooperate with Wenyang Military Factory to sell some orders in exchange for the other party's support in capital and technical equipment. Wenyang Investment Bank reached a business cooperation with Baixin in the form of investing in stocks.

This is a brand-new cooperation model, a healthy model for the healthy development of large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises This model of selling some distribution rights or other rights of products to gain opportunities for self-development provides Qin with an inherent advantage in economic development. This advantage cannot be learned by the six countries.

The significance of the valve rifle is not only here, but its significance lies in the fact that it will provide Qin with a huge advantage in the next war. The valve rifle modification work was carried out quite quickly. The Wenyang Military Factory began a large-scale modification of everything they received. Weapons and the full working time on the production schedule, first of all, they have to use the shortest time of about one month to modify the rifles in the hands of the Western Regions and give them two months of applicable time, and then there are modification needs from all over Qin.

At the same time as the modification, some military experts in the Qin State concentrated their energy on the research and development of metals and firearms. They hoped to develop new metals and new firearms to occupy the market, especially after the emergence of valve firearms, they noticed the improvement of weapons. speed up

Machine guns, quick-fire weapons, began to mention their schedules, and watchmakers began to become the main force in firearms research. Some watchmakers began to give up making watches and clocks. You must know that the watch industry in Qin State is a very remarkable industry. They can use ingenious machinery. The principle is to record the time, and there is a strong demand for this kind of time machine in various places. Even the Queen of South Korea loves it very much. She is the first country to order the implementation of the hour system in the whole country. In this way, South Korea is ahead of Qin State. Qin State is currently The time system is somewhat chaotic. Factories, railways, zheng fu, military schools, etc. use the hour system, but some small towns still use the hour system. This is mainly because some local economic development is fast and some local economic development is slow. South Korea can take advantage of the centralization of power. It's almost reached this point, but Qin is pushing the boat along with the flow and has not enforced it.

However, the addition of watchmakers began to bring muskets into the age of firearms, especially after the introduction of smokeless gunpowder, which made full preparations for the next faster machine guns. The premise is that Qin has to solve their biggest problem. China's weapons will suddenly rise to a new level. The emergence of machine guns will make a thorough summary of cold weapons, and the era of hot weapons will begin to divide their historical stages.

553 The Huns Beat the Huns

Please remember the URL of this site:.

The problem that the valve rifle is undergoing intensive transformation is still unresolved. At this time, Shangwen has a determination. That is to introduce a system of think tanks and consultants to help the country solve major decisions such as homeland security.

The situation is already clear. The development speed of Qin State has surpassed Shang Wen’s imagination. And the development speed is extremely fast. Many things are on the road to integration, development and refinement. The close cooperation after the social division of labor forces the country to It is necessary to make an operating system similar to that of a factory.

After a brief conversation between Shangwen and Meng Yi, Meng Yi was very similar to the same system. So he looked for newspapers to publish such news. Shangwen had a headache to solve this problem. He could only mark these problems one by one on the map. Then use idle imagination to compartmentalize the questions.

The economic issue seems to be nothing. But there is a line of interest behind it that you must effectively grasp. If you can’t grasp it, then the situation will become very bad. For this reason, Shangwen sent someone to find the relevant documents on the northern economy. He needs Find out what's going on in the north. Little things help him.

The Concession of Yan State is very prosperous. Many people started to trade. But the type of trade is still beneficial to Qin State. Yan State imports a large amount of arms, logistics supplies, and exports raw materials. High-quality wood, medicinal materials, fur, ginseng. Korean natives. And gold.

Shang Wen checked a report from the local governor of the concession. His report was very detailed. It even mentioned the local food prices and the salaries of Yan State employees. But this gave Shang Wen a bit of a headache. Such a large-scale continuous import will soon attract a large number of investors to enter the concession to set up factories. This is another typical case of capital export. Shang Wen does not want to see capital appearing on the mainland of other countries prematurely. Now not the right time yet.

The following materials are very boring. Most of them are related to the war. How many troops the Qin army dispatched? Where did they fight?

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin." While Shang Wen was looking at the documents, Wei Liao and Wang Jian hurried in with a copy of the battle report.

"Sir, take a look at this first." He said and handed it to Shang Wen.

"What is this?" Shangwen took the battle report and saw it. There was a strange text on it.

"The envoys of the Huns are coming to ask for peace," Wei Liao said.
