The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Since the telescope began to become popular in the army.Therefore, many civilian versions with poor quality began to flow into the market.The reason why a large number of telescopes can be produced is mainly due to the two new products newly listed on the futures market. Jing fine salt and coarse salt. Jing fine salt is used for folk consumption.In the Warring States Period, and all subsequent dynasties.Edible salt has always been a profitable industry.Yingyu didn't notice this relatively traditional industry at first, and only discovered this problem when she accompanied Shangwen to the street.As a result, the new variety of salt was soon launched.

But with the expansion of the Qin State, some inland lakes in the northwest were discovered.People began to find table salt in these inland saltwater lakes.But a lot of coarse salt comes out during the extraction.These coarse salts contain large amounts of sodium carbonate as well as other salts.Although only two of them are used, they are still of great value.Sodium carbonate, for example, is much more expensive than table salt.Thus, salt was initially divided. Jing fine salt is specially called edible salt.Coarse salt became synonymous with early industrial salt.However, the ability to extract sodium carbonate from these crude salts is still very limited, so some people began to use their brains to research and develop other things.

It is also with the help of futures that Qin has a large number of glass and mirrors.Glass is no longer exclusive to the Wang family.Started to enter the homes of ordinary people.Some students who were keenly interested in astronomy began to imitate Shangwen's astronomical telescope.At the same time, some surveying retired officers, non-commissioned officers, and land officials also began to accept sextants.According to latitude and longitude, draw some preliminary maps.These Shangwen didn't care.This is what he needs.Because these things involve a wide range.Dedicated talent needs to be mobilized to explore.

in the field of electromagnetism.Qin State began to manufacture compass on a large scale.With the excellent sealing properties of glass.A large number of compass arrows were manufactured.But the priority is not the army.But a large number of security trade armed personnel.They need a compass for direction.But large magnets cannot be manufactured.Because, there is still a lack of natural insulating materials such as resin.Resin is extremely expensive.This thing is only available in the royal family or the minister's family.Even wealthy businessmen have only a small piece.Therefore, this also leads to the fact that the magnet can only be made very small.Can't do big.This seriously hinders the development of electromagnetism.There was, however, one major advance in electricity.Through unintentional experiments, Bai Ai discovered a brand new metal, zinc.There are a large number of lead-zinc mines in China.In particular, it is Qin State, and the newly occupied Eastern Mongolia and other places.

The appearance of zinc makes the battery go a step further.At the same time, hydrogen can be produced quickly.This is currently the main source of hydrogen in the development and improvement of glass and new airships.

In terms of gunpowder.Black powder is still the mainstream gunpowder.The slow progress of new gunpowder was largely due to the enormous power of the new explosives.It explodes at every turn, mainly nitroglycerin.Therefore, many people are unwilling to study.In addition, there is a lack of a fiber that can be nitrated.cotton.If this problem is to be solved, it must have a great relationship with Mesopotamia and India.Otherwise, smokeless gunpowder still cannot break through.

In fact, Shangwen has already started planning, sailing is currently the most effective and fastest way to obtain cotton.By sailing, you can quickly reach India and the Mesopotamia.If it passes through land, Qin must do its best to conquer, and it will be no problem.But where is the motivation to fight?Is it just for cotton.Huaxia has better silk fabrics than cotton.Obviously, cotton isn't very powerful.

Just when Qin was busy drawing new maps and exploring the mysteries of the universe, Shang Wen was very happy when a person came.It is not so much a person as a group of people.

After receiving Shang Wen's invitation letter, Xiao He brought Liu Ji and others to Qin State to seek a better future.The invitation letter was sent by Shangwen himself.So, when the guard notified Shang Wen of this invitation letter.Shangwen received them very warmly.

Because the place is too narrow and tense.Shangwen had no choice but to invite Xiao He and others to a restaurant in the city for a talk.

Xiao He walked westward from Peidi to Shou, and entered the border of Qin State from Shoujing.King Zhao of Qin State? Qiao Yu book faded? Zhuo? Zhuo emu フ agent Shun?? Territory.Then, they passed through Wuguan and entered Hanzhong, and from Hanzhong they entered Guanzhong.This took nearly a month.After entering Guanzhong, they slowed down.Because, at this time, Guanzhong has changed a lot.First of all, they saw a field being cultivated by a group of northern nomads, while those farmers were leisurely riding horses and wandering around with shotguns.The gun order in Guanzhong has been revised once.Allows farm hosts to have a certain number of guns in order to manage large numbers of slaves.

At this time, they also changed to the four-wheeled carriage of Qin State, because the four-wheeled carriage was impassable when they came, so they had to change, anyway, the money is worth the money.They don't feel bad either.From their point of view, it makes sense.

They stayed in an inn, and the food and drink were quite different from those in Chu State.And there is a lot of meat, and the price is very cheap.Xiao He and the others opened their eyes.And it's beef.This made Fan Kuai, who had been slaughtering dogs since he was a child, feel a little unbalanced.Beef is not something you can eat casually.But here in Qin State, ordinary shopkeepers are enough.It makes them believe.It is the right way to come to Qin to seek a future.

Until they saw the prime minister of Qin with their own eyes, they even forgot to salute.The reason is that the clothes worn by the prime ministers of the state of Qin are very different from those of the officials and lords of the state of Chu.If it wasn't for the self-introduction, Liu Ji would almost have thought he was an ordinary street boy.

Shangwen was not surprised either.He was busy greeting and arranging room and board for the bit entering the city.Once entering Xianyang City.These people were all bluffed.

439 There Are Many Opportunities

Xiao He and his party.They didn't dare to blink their eyes, and they used all the organs they could perceive.

What I saw was a dazzling array of products.What I listen to is the Merlot played by the phonograph, and what I smell is the aroma of different street foods.Xiao He and his party gave up taking the car as soon as they entered the city gate. They wanted to walk all the way to see the changes in Qin State. Shang Wen also knew that this group of people were talents, so they guided and followed them all the way. After all, they still didn't know some traffic rules.

Several people walked on the sidewalk.

"Brother, look quickly, that store is really interesting, it doesn't even have a window." Fan Kuai shouted loudly.His cry immediately elicited bursts of laughter.If the surrounding Xianyang people looked at the outfits of the group, they would know that they were people who had just arrived from the Six Kingdoms.

"Keep your voice down. Don't shout loudly." Liu Ji was embarrassed by the people around him.The clothes of the people of Qin are bright and bright.People's shoes are all leather.Look at their group again.Master Xiao is still reasonable, he is a scholar, and the second Cao Shen who joined in halfway is also counted.The rest of them are just like beggars.This made Liu Ji feel inferior all of a sudden.Fortunately, Shang Wen didn't care, and shook hands kindly when they met for the first time.I still introduce them from time to time.

"It's nothing, it's a display window, which is specially used to display goods. For example, the clothing store is to display the clothes for everyone to see. Then enter the store for consumption." Shang Wen explained.

"I don't know much." Liu Ji scolded.

Shangwen smiled slightly.

"En. Brother, have you smelled it? It smells so good." Lu Wan stepped forward and said.

Liu Ji sniffed hard with his nose.

"Well, that's right, it's fragrant, and it still smells like pear." Liu Ji said after smelling it.

"Rogue!" Two stylishly dressed women walking in front cursed back.The fragrance emanates from them.

All of a sudden, the face of this group of people was lost.Liu Ji's face suddenly became dull.

"Oh. Just here." Everyone follow me.Shangwen didn't bother to look at which restaurant, so he ordered a random restaurant to ease the embarrassing atmosphere just now.

Shang Wen asked for a large private room.

Shang Wen handed over the menu to Xiao He to order.There are more and more people in Qin who can read and write, and the Xianyang area has become popular.Among the group of people, there are probably not many who know how to read.Ordering food has obviously become a difficult problem, and this is the first time they have encountered such a way of ordering food.Seeing this situation, Shangwen clicked casually.

"Everyone is new to Qin, do you have any plans?" Shang Wen asked.

"Here, let's listen to Mr. Xiao...Old Xiao." Liu Ji felt that there should be some changes in the title, so he immediately changed his words.

"You're older than me, why not call you big brother." Shangwen took the initiative to call him closer.

"My lord, this, this can't be done." Xiao He, Liu Ji and others dared not call him that.

"It doesn't matter. In Qin State, there is no difference between being an official and an ordinary occupation. Besides, I have issued a decree. In Qin State, all occupations are equal. I haven't improved the title or anything. But it will take time. Everyone They are all treated as equals. It's nothing." Shang Wen said.

"We government officials, sometimes, are not as good as those peddlers on the street. They earn more money a year than those of us who rely on the government for a living. We just barely make ends meet." Shang Wen took the initiative to introduce road.

Everyone present was shocked.They cannot accept this fact.Everyone knows the benefits of being an official, and everyone rushes to be an official.In the state of Qin, the officials were the poorest.This surprised them.

"So, when you come to Qin State, I don't recommend you to become officials. Because being an official in Qin State is the service department. To put it bluntly, it is the receiving department. I have issued repeated orders. Zheng fu officials have no right to criticize civilians. The attitude must be maintained The quality of service." Although Shangwen used a lot of words that he didn't understand.But the core is clear. The Zheng Fu department is the worst option.

In fact, this is true. Shangwen, who freely indulges in commercial development, has pushed a large number of social elites into the society.As for the government department, it is often the choice of some stable people who don't want to fight in the fierce competition environment.

At this time, the food came.Shang Wen signaled that he could give a seat casually.

"I don't know, my lord, what do you think we will do when we arrive in Qin?" Xiao He asked.

"Brother Xiao, why don't you call me Mr. Sir. That's what you call me when you're working. Now it's private time." Shangwen further drew the relationship closer.

"I dare not take this." Xiao He declined.

"Otherwise, everyone should address you as Mr." Shang Wen just finished speaking.Everyone looked at each other.The term "Mr." is the patent of scholars and learned people.Xiao He can use it.But they felt a little overwhelmed.

"Actually, sir, many people can use it. Let's do whatever you want," Shang Wen said.

"Then I, Fan Kui, am not Mr. Fan." Fan Kui said happily.After hearing this, Liu Ji said to himself "Mr. Liu." This was the first time they used the title "Mr."

"Mr. Xiao, let's get back to the topic. As you can see, Qin State is developing very fast now, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, and people are being employed everywhere. Qin State has established many public schools, and those students only need to learn a little bit of knowledge , was immediately snatched away by the merchants. The employment has reached this point. Especially those talents, many merchants try their best to win them over. I believe in the talents of the position. They must also be the ones who are recruited." Shang Wen said.

"I heard about Mr. Xiao's talent from the ambassador to Chu State. So, I invited Mr. Xiao to come to Qin State to develop." Shang Wen paused.

"Mr. Qin, what can we do?" Liu Ji asked anxiously.

"Well, everyone's majors are different. I just provide some suggestions for reference. Mr. Xiao can work in the bank. It is the core and vital department of Qin State. I can write a letter of recommendation. Mr. Liu, Mr. Fan, Mr. Lu. I It is suggested that you participate in security and armed personnel of trading companies. Now many people are rushing in. Because that is the fastest way to make a fortune. After you have money, you can buy a large piece of land in the newly established state and hire some man, buy a lot of slaves...

"Shang Wen hasn't finished yet.

Liu Ji and others said loudly: "This is a good idea, let's do it. We are all farmers, so this will work."

The crowd nodded.

"If you have some capital, you can do other things. Opportunities are everywhere in Qin State. As long as you don't break the law, you can do anything. The boundary of the law is within the boundary of Qin State. Outside the boundary, the law can only restrain people." Shang Wen Said.

This is a revelation.It depends on how Liu Ji understands it.

440 The talent I introduced to you

"In addition, the personal trophies you get can also get a lot of money." Shang Wen said.

"The spoils?" Liu Ji asked.
