The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

The situation Fan Zeng said was what happened to the Chu aristocrats in expanding their plantations abroad.

There are indeed a large number of unowned lands overseas. Many of these unowned lands are fertile land and good plantations with a good climate. For example, in the Mekong Delta, there are three nobles of Chu State who have established a large amount of rice planting there. In the garden, the rice produced can reach three crops a year, which greatly solves the food problem.

However, the expansion of the plantation has not been smooth sailing. It can be said that over time, some hidden problems have been exposed, such as the harassment of local indigenous people. With the emigration of these foreign Chu people, the locals coveted their food, or the conflicts between different races. The private armies of the nobles took some radical measures to further aggravate the contradictions between the indigenous people and the plantations. This kind of contradiction kept being fed back to Fan Zeng, which made Fan Zeng very annoyed.

Because the local aboriginals are tribes, they hide in the dense jungles. They are familiar with the local geography and climate. The Chu people feel that there is to establish a plantation. They did not start large-scale cooperation with the local aboriginals at the beginning. Fight, and the opponent is just harassment, and there is no large-scale frontal conflict.

"It's fine if it's a head-on conflict." Fan Zeng put down the telegram in his hand and said. If it is a frontal conflict, it will be very beneficial to Chu State. In this way, they can solve the problem at one time. The flintlock gun armed by the Chu militia can exert great power in frontal combat, but if you don’t listen to the harassment Fighting, on the contrary, was extremely detrimental to them, because the people of Chu were not willing to see the long-term consumption, which required continuous investment in their extremely limited manpower and material resources. This is a kind of detrimental consumption, and Chu people don't want to see it.

Faced with such a consumption, plantation owners have sent telegrams requesting that they send troops to destroy the local indigenous people. But no one came to pay for such a military expense. Fan Zeng thinks. This is a serious economic problem, and the existence of this economic problem has seriously affected the next development of Chu State.

In the telegram. Just mentioned the development dilemma of such a plantation.

Wang's Plantation, this is a relatively small-scale plantation, they only have more than a thousand people, they set up in today's Thailand area. The local climate is very suitable for planting rice, so they cultivated a lot of rice, the harvest looks good, but the local indigenous people think they are unfriendly, so they continue to destroy the local rice, which will damage the planting The harvest of the garden, so more than 1,000 people formed a firearm team of more than 100 people, they kept patrolling, but in fact, there are less than 20 people as the main force. Under such circumstances, they still can’t satisfy them. The patrolling economy of the huge plantation is still harassed by the local indigenous people. And as the harassment of the Musketeers and the indigenous people continue to clash, some people have already sacrificed, and then the conflict is likely to escalate further, which is not a good phenomenon. And this is definitely not what they want to see, but it has already happened and there is no way to stop it.

Fan Zeng pondered this question quietly. He needs to integrate all the situations to solve this problem.

The Palace of the Prime Minister of the State of Qin.

"Zhao Guo, South Korea is getting more and more technology, do we take some measures?" Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Moreover, with the further opening of technology, there are more and more talents studying abroad in Zhao Guo and South Korea. In the future, more scientific and technical talents may flow out. I am worried that our technological advantages will gradually follow. As time passed, we were overtaken. In that case, our situation would be very bad." Meng Yi said worriedly. Meng Yi held a report. The report pointed out that in the previous quarter, Qin Guonet had flowed out more than 500 related technology patents, in addition to more than 700 scientific and technical talents. This has to make Meng Yi worry that Qin's technological advantages are greatly worried.

"Don't worry, as long as the State of Qin doesn't fight war and maintains such a good development trend, there will definitely be huge benefits." Shang Wen said without worry. Because Qin continues to maintain the leading position of this kind of science and technology.

"Yeah. It's just that I'm a little worried." Meng Yi said.

"You can see what kind of technology we are selling, and our technical reserves are quite large. We don't have to worry too much about what will happen." Shang Wen said.

"The technologies we sell are all about comparing some low-end technologies. For example, steel technology is considered to be. But in terms of special steel, Zhao Guo cannot catch up with us. In addition, in terms of processing and manufacturing technology, Zhao Guo cannot yet be large-scale. Manufacturing related machine tools and equipment is a major disaster for them. Not only that, cement, high-grade cement, Zhao Guo can not produce. Looking at South Korea, they seem to be leading in shipbuilding. But they are still unable to fully manufacture iron armored ships. The amount of iron used is still very limited. This is not only a technical problem, but also a financial problem. They seem to be not very interested in iron welding technology. This makes it difficult for them. Further expansion." Shang Wen said.

"In terms of steam engines, although South Korea has in-depth research, their research only stays on the research side. They can only manufacture small, low-power steam engines. This requires the advancement of the overall level of a country. They can only introduce this. Because their talents restrict them from introducing higher technologies, on the contrary, we in Qin State cannot continue to retain such technologies. The reason is simple, because processing will severely restrict our technological development, and labor costs will become higher and higher. , And there is no technical content, the competitiveness in the market will be seriously reduced, this is an extremely serious mistake." Shang Wen said.

"According to what you said, I feel that there is some truth." Meng Yi said.

"It's just that I am worried that our technology will be further lost, such as the loss of key technologies. I am worried about this." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Yeah. You are right, but we must also consider that only the outflow of technology can bring huge benefits to the State of Qin. Without such outflow, the State of Qin would have no sense of existence to maintain its technological advantage. Why is it currently? The development of Qin State is so weak, especially in technological development, because of the sluggish demand, if the situation does not change, it is difficult to make such a choice." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
