Throne of Vientiane Civilization

"How about this, you produce the design drawings, and if the research and development is successful and mass production is required, all the raw materials for the firearms will be paid for by you. Under this premise, every time our Dazhou firearms factory manufactures two firearms, Give you a handful."

Peter thought for a moment after hearing this.

[Da Zhou contributes his own efforts and is responsible for R\u0026D and production. I provide the design drawings and raw materials. I don’t need to worry about anything else. The firearms produced are half and half, so I won’t lose anything. 】

Obviously, this division method is acceptable to Peter. For him, the design drawing itself is just a matter of drawing a few strokes. He has no sense of loss at all. After rounding, the actual expenditure is only one raw material.

But then, Peter realized another problem...

"Wait a minute, His Majesty Emperor Zhou, where are the bullets?"

He may not be very bright when it comes to other things, but before coming here, he played with guns. What's the use of just having a gun? You still need bullets! At the same time, anyone with some common sense should know that the bullet consumption of gun-wielding troops is the most important!

At this moment, Peter looked over, and Zhou Xu smiled even more.

"I can provide five bullets with each gun, but if you want more bullets, you have to buy them from me. After all, in this era, gunpowder is still very valuable."

"..."

Five bullets? What a waste! By then it won’t be enough to train the soldiers!

Peter wanted to curse, but in the end he endured it.

The main reason is that he can't beat him. Peter is essentially a martial artist and doesn't have much ability in literary fighting. As long as he can beat him, he won't be able to tolerate this!

"Then Your Majesty, Emperor Zhou, how can I buy this bullet?"

"You can use various resources to purchase, but there are too many types of resources. At the same time, I don't know what resources you have in hand. You can make a list later to facilitate pricing."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xu's voice paused.

"Of course, in addition to resources, you can also use population, or labor force."

Peter frowned visibly when he heard this.

Although he has no political acumen, he also knows that he made his fortune by deceiving the slaves, and the slave owners are their biggest enemies.

Under this premise, if he changes his identity and becomes a slave owner who sells slaves, wouldn't it be self-destructive?

At this moment, looking at Peter's expression, Zhou Xu knew what the other person was thinking.

Obviously, this Peter is not stupid.

But since he raised this matter, he was obviously well prepared.

"Please rest assured, what I want is not slaves, but labor force. You can tell them that this is equivalent to an immigration. They are just moving from the Smith Republic to live in our country."

While talking, Zhou Xu smiled.

"I believe that compared to the Smith Republic, which is internally unstable, has partisan struggles, and discriminates against each other, many people will be willing to come to our country and become citizens of our country."

This was a bit heartbreaking, but after thinking about it for a moment, Peter had to admit that what the other party said was reasonable.

Peter hadn't made up his mind yet, but he decided to confirm the specific price first.

“How many rounds of ammunition can one labor force exchange?”

Zhou Xu raised a finger.

"One hundred rounds of ammunition for a young adult. Older people don't need it. As for children, it's not unacceptable, but the price has to come down. Children have ten rounds of ammunition each."

"!!"

Peter's facial muscles twitched fiercely, and he almost couldn't hold it back and swore, but in the end he only dared to do it in his heart.

[Why the hell don’t you go and grab it? 】

However, from Zhou Xu's perspective, Peter's expression management really needs to be strengthened.

Although he didn't say it directly, those words were basically written on his face.

"You can think about it from another angle. Nowadays, the Rakshasa Republicans have a large population, but the resources at hand are limited. Most of the domestic resources are controlled by the Smith Party headed by Fisher. The daily life of the Rakshasa Republicans headed by you is definitely Struggle."

"If this problem cannot be solved, over time, the people below will inevitably become dissatisfied, and in the end, your reputation will be damaged."

"Under this premise, your Excellency will send people to our Dazhou. While reducing the pressure on your own resources, you can also obtain bullets. It is simply killing two birds with one stone."

"..."

Well, Peter had to admit, he was a little convinced.

The biggest problem and advantage of their Rakshasa Republican Party is the same, that is, there are too many people, and the limited resources are gradually unable to be used. As a result, he, the leader of the party, does not live a comfortable life.

If he could take this opportunity to exchange people for ammunition, it would indeed be a win-win deal for him.

Just when Peter was thinking this, Zhou Xu spoke again...

"Oh, by the way, if you are willing to pay this group of people in advance, then I can add five more bullets for a young adult, but not for a child."

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

The ready-made young adults are now sent to their territory in Dazhou. Even if they are a little malnourished and have poor physical fitness, they can be transformed into the labor force immediately. Children do not have this advantage, and their priority is not high. It is completely incidental.

I have to say that Peter was indeed moved.

The most important thing is that this move is not actually a loss for Peter.

As mentioned before, he now has too many people and not enough resources. If he gives this part of the population away early, he can save resources early. Under this premise, each person can add five more bullets.

Five bullets are not much for one person, but one hundred is five hundred, and one thousand is five thousand!

Once the number of heads is added up, it is very considerable.

After such a rough calculation, Peter suddenly felt that if he didn't take advantage of this, he would lose 100 million!

"Okay! I'll do it when I get back!"

This matter is essentially suspected of selling slaves, so there is no way to hand it over to any of his departments to do it. He still has to do it himself to fool people.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Zhou Xu smiled and stretched out his hand to Peter.

When the two hands were shaken, looking at Zhou Xu in front of him, Peter suddenly felt that his whole person became high-spirited.

He felt that his time had finally come!

Look at it now, he can already talk and laugh with big guys like Zhou Huang!

After that, Peter did not hesitate and drew the remaining design drawings on the spot. After Zhou Xu confirmed and accepted them, he turned around and left with a smile on his face, which made Fisher, who was waiting outside, anxious.

[Peter, this bastard, smiled so brightly? What did they talk about? ]

With this thought in mind, Fisher glared at him fiercely and hurried into Zhou Xu's office. The first sentence he said was...

"Your Majesty, you must not believe the nonsense of Peter, that bastard!"

"..."
