Daqin Engineers

Shen Bing's first reaction was to find Yang Duanhe.

Since he was asked to form a navy, should he still need some operating funds?!

But then I thought about it and shook his head to dispel the thought.

This 300,000 yuan is not a small sum. In this era, a kilogram of rice is about 5 yuan, and a pair of breastplate is about 1344 yuan.Three hundred thousand dollars is enough to buy more than two hundred sets of breastplates.

If this were to go to Yang Duan and that request, he would definitely be dismissed on the grounds of "violating the law."

Then Shen Bing wondered if he could make the soldiers themselves.

This is a money-saving idea, because the soldiers are all labors that don't need money to pay the national salary, so these wages can be saved.

The problem is that this is armor.

If it is to make a basket, then forget it, just make a good one and just use it.

But weaving armor can have a certain degree of difficulty if you are not a familiar artist, and it also requires a special way of interlacing the warp and weft, especially the shape of the "hat helmet," "mask," and "armor" are not difficult.

These are not things that can be done just by relying on physical strength and time.

In case of unqualified compilation, life will be killed on the battlefield.

Moreover, this will waste a lot of training time for soldiers.

This is also undesirable.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either. Where can I find so much money for a while?

Then Shen Bing frowned and knew what he was going to do.

Thinking of Shen Bing without hesitation, he got up and walked towards the Bianhe River.

It was in the afternoon, and the navy soldiers were busy making and testing ships under the guidance of Cang and other artisans.

Wei Wei led several military officers to command and coordinate, and all of them were very busy.

All the soldiers greeted Shen Bing coming up.

When Wei Wei saw Shen Bing, he ran to meet him with a small step, and said:

"School lieutenant, the soldiers have already seen the skill of making Japanese ships."

"Most people can make wheeled warships in a day and a half."

Shen Bing’s point of attention was not here. He looked at the bark that had been cut on the ground by the river, and ordered:

"Collect these bark!"

Wei Wei answered and said:

"Don't worry, the captain, I will burn them all..."

Shen Bing interrupted Wei Wei's words:

"I didn't let you burn it, but it worked."

Wei Wei couldn't help being stunned when he heard it, what else could these barks do?

Shen Bing didn't explain, and beckoned Fatty to come over.

The fat man limped up, but with a blue nose and swollen face, he called "Master" in embarrassment.

Shen Bing asked puzzledly:

"What's wrong with you?"

Fatty's awkward answer:

"Disciple, this is a horse-riding injury..."

"But it doesn't matter, the apprentice can finally get on horseback!"

Shen Bing said "Oh".

Practicing horseback riding in the shape of a fat man...It's really hard for him.

But this is another matter. Shen Bing patted Fat Zitun's shoulder as encouragement, and then said:

"I'm asking you to buy some things, I don't know..."

Before Shen Bing finished speaking, Fatty Tun replied:

"Despite the master's orders, the disciple will definitely do everything for the master!"

Shen Bing let out an "um" and said after finishing his thoughts:

"Ten large wooden barrels, five-stone quicklime, ten steaming barrels, and some more fish nets."

"That's it for the time being."

"Also...can you pay on credit?"

Fatty patted his chest:

"Master, rest assured, if this little thing can't be done for the master, I am ashamed to trust the master."

Shen Bing nodded.

However, he was still a little worried that the fat man would be embarrassed, so he sent Ren and a few people to drive with the carriage, confessing that it was really impossible to use the carriage as a mortgage.

This soldier is really poor. Shen Bing's rewards such as food and fields are in his hometown, but now he can't get the money.

But having said that, when it comes to serving as a soldier outside, where money is needed, even being an official is no exception. Shen Bing is rare.

How could Shen Bing think that these things are really difficult for Fatty Tun, only two sticks of incense, I saw Fatty Tun called more than a dozen carriages in, and the servants moved the wooden barrels requested by Shen Bing into the barracks. Set it up.

A businessman in a Chinese suit was followed by the command.

Then Fatty Tun stepped forward and said to Shen Bing:

"Master, that businessman is called Tián."

"He heard the disciple talk about you being a captain in the army, no matter how the disciple refuses, he will follow..."

"Does the master see or not?"

Shen Bing glanced in the direction of the merchant, and saw that the merchant was obedient. Shen Bing did not dare to step forward, but he bowed in this direction after a long distance.

Shen Bing asked:

"Is it your friend?"

Fatty Tun answered:

"I have business dealings with my father."

"It was the apprentice who went to his credit. I didn't want to but caused trouble for the master."

Shen Bing wanted to send the good businessman back, but after thinking about it, he might be used in the future, so he nodded and said:

"Let him come over!"

The fat man replied, then turned around and beckoned to the businessman.

The businessman was overjoyed and walked forward quickly with both hands. He bowed in front of Shen Bing and said:

"Yun Zhen, see the school lieutenant!"

"Yun Tian has heard the name of the school lieutenant for a long time, uninvited to see the truth, and hope that the lieutenant will forgive him."

Shen Bing has some doubts:

"You know me?"

Yun Tian replied:

"The school lieutenant laughed. Since the school lieutenant made a waterwheel and turned over, Yun Qian has been familiar with the name of the school lieutenant and admires it."

"Don't be afraid that the school lieutenant will laugh at him, Yun Tian also made some spare money with waterwheels and dump trucks."

Shen Bing said, "Oh", this happened in Zhao State, and he didn't want to spread it to Wei State so soon.

But now, regardless of the state of Zhao or the state of Wei, it has become the state of Qin.

These businessmen, such as the clouds in front of them, probably have to find some backers in the army because of their low social status.

This is actually the ancient money rights transaction.

But it's just those wooden barrels... Then I underestimated my Shen Bing.

How to say it takes a few cars of gold and then a few beauties...especially the beauties, in order to bribe me to Shen Bing!

Thinking of Shen Bing, he smiled and said:

"These things are considered my Shen Bing owes you."

"I will pay you back the money I owe in a while."

Shen Bing originally thought that Yunqi would say a few words of kindness, such as not paying back. He didn't want that Yunqi but didn't say anything. He only responded and retired respectfully.

This actually aroused Shen Bing's interest.

So after Yun Tian left, Shen Bing asked Fatty Tun:

"Who is this Yuntian?"

Fatty Tun answered:

"Master, have you heard of Bai Gyu?"

"This Yuntian is Bai Gui's disciple."

After hearing this, Shen Bing realized that he seemed to be wrong to blame Yunqi.

Bai Kyu had heard that it was the representative of good businessmen during the Warring States Period.

The so-called good businessman is a conscientious businessman, and it is said that he is a disciple of Guiguzi, who can use the art of war learned in commercial transactions.

His conditions for accepting disciples are very harsh, and he must be satisfied in all aspects such as character, emotional quotient, and intelligence quotient.

Therefore, if this Yuntian is Bai Gui's disciple, it is likely that he is not the kind of person Shen Bing thought.

But this is set aside in advance.

Shen Bing waved his hands around and ordered:

"Gather the bark together!"
