Chapter 1345: Han Banner World (Thirty-Five) Settlement of Accounts
Gao Yuan held the credentials presented by Wang Jian in his hand, shook his head and smiled at Jiang Jiaquan, who was sitting opposite him: "This Wang Jian is indeed an interesting person, sir, but he keeps his posture very low, and he thinks he is I am willing to pay tribute to my country every year and come to court every year, and I also promised to send my legitimate son to my great man as a pledge in the future. Hahaha, I still want to become a brotherhood with him!"
Jiang Jiaquan looked at Gao Yuan who was laughing and laughing, and said: "He may not have had any intention of becoming brothers with my big man before, but after joining my big man, the impact he received was far beyond his imagination. These few days Years ago, our country was in its early stages of development. All kinds of new technologies were invented one after another and quickly applied. The strength of the country was beyond his knowledge. With his current strength, even if he could barely form an alliance with us, As a nation of brothers, he has to worry about whether we will take advantage of him, but the meaning of being a vassal country is quite different. We can't attack and annex our subordinates for no reason, right? [Pig][Pig][Island ]Novel www.huhu.m This person is flexible and adaptable, and he is really a character. "
"Of course he is a figure, otherwise it would be impossible to build such a large foundation. Mr. Jiang, do you mean to conclude the agreement based on his credentials?" Gao Yuan asked.
"That's what I mean. You didn't think about annexing him. As you thought, the big man needs a sharp knife. There are some things that our country of etiquette cannot do. His newly established Da Qin still adheres to slavery, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it. "
"Da Qin Da Qin, why doesn't this sound so comfortable?" Gao Yuan shook his head and smiled.
"This is not to defeat the Great Qin. Wang Jian is also showing his feelings to you."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Your Majesty, Gao Quan from the Military Industry Bureau of the Ministry of Construction wants to see you." He Weiyuan stepped into the study and reported to Gao Yuan.
"Let him come in!" Gao Yuan said.
Gao Quan walked in with a worried look on his face. "I've met the king, I've met Mr. Jiang." After saluting the two of them in turn, Gao Quan looked at Gao Yuan and hesitated to speak.
"Gao Quan, didn't you come to see me for something? Why didn't you say anything when you came in?" Gao Yuan asked.
Gao Quan hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered up the courage: "Your Majesty, it is not my turn to intervene in military and national affairs, but yesterday I went back and thought about it, and I still felt that I should report my thoughts to the king."
"Well, as the director of the Military Industry Bureau, you are also a big man and important minister of mine. If you have anything to say, you can naturally come to me and tell me at any time. Just tell me. What's the matter?" Gao Yuan nodded and said.
"Kings,
What we showed to Wang Jian yesterday are the most advanced weapons of our Han Dynasty, which are extremely lethal. If these weapons are sold to Wang Jian in large quantities, I, I will be a little worried. In fact, we have a lot of old equipment that has been retired by the troops. Although it is old, compared to Wang Jian's department. It's already extremely good. If you look at the equipment of his personal guards, it's only at that level. "Gao Quan said.
Gao Yuan glanced at Jiang Jiaquan and turned around, "Director Gao, our most advanced equipment. What do you think are its characteristics?"
"The lethality is too great. Not to mention the latest arm crossbows and divine machine crossbows, we have not even equipped our troops with equipment such as grenades and artillery on a large scale! Now they are actually selling them to former enemies. This , If there is anything wrong with this, wouldn’t it make you unhappy?”
"It has huge lethality. This is a characteristic. Well, what about the others?"
"Others?" Gao Quan looked at Gao Yuan blankly.
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Let me add to you. In addition to their huge lethality, these weapons also have a very important feature, that is, they are delicate and easy to malfunction, right?"
Gao Quan blushed, "Yes, Your Majesty, there are too many parts to construct these weapons, and many parts are indeed easily damaged. This is my fault. After I go down, I will definitely work hard in this area and try to make them life span is extended.”
"It's not necessarily all bad." Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "Tell me, if we sell these weapons to Wang Jian, his soldiers will find that they are far more powerful than previous weapons when they are used. What will happen if we sell these weapons to Wang Jian?" What effect?"
"His soldiers will definitely like these weapons." Gao Quan said.
"Yes, I like it very much. If I like it, I will become dependent. But this kind of weapon is easy to damage. What should I do if it breaks? Then it has to be repaired, right? Who can repair it? Us. Then does Wang Jian have to ask us again? Buy these parts?" Gao Yuan spread his hands and said, "Gao Quan, you need to learn more about business. The Military Industry Bureau not only needs to manage the production of weapons for us, but also find ways to create benefits for the entire weapon. We can. It's cheaper, but for these repair parts, hey, you might as well order a higher price, right? The parts you get from the factory are all at wholesale prices, but when you sell them to Wangjian, you might as well sell them at a higher price, anyway. You will definitely buy it, right?”
Gao Quan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly realized, "The king is right. If he doesn't buy it, these weapons will become a pile of scrap metal. As long as he buys it, we can continue to create profits. If one day he If he turns against us, we won’t sell parts to him. These weapons will still be scrap metal. What a clever plan, Your Majesty.”
Gao Yuan laughed, remembering those 4S stores that sold cars in his previous life. They would dismantle the parts of the whole car and make a single engine, creating huge profits worth ten times the value of the whole car. He feels the same way now.
"The same is true for artillery! We can make the artillery cheaper, but the price of various types of ammunition may as well be higher. If a cannon is used carefully and maintained well, it can last ten or eight years, but ammunition is a consumable. Every shot is worth money. We must strongly encourage Wang Shen to use it. The more it is used, the more we earn!" Gao Yuan said.
"Yes, the king's teachings made me enlightened. That day we started fighting with them. We cut off his supply, and he will return to his current level. We will stop playing with him. Like a child. But Your Majesty, this Wang Shen is not a fool. He will definitely see this in the future. What if he goes back to imitate our weapons? "
"Is it so easy to imitate?" Gao Yuan didn't take it seriously. "Military industry is a systematic and large-scale project, involving the most basic industrial applications of a country. Wang Jian's current industrial level is zero, something that even Qin Chu can't do. , Can he do it? Even if he works hard for many years to reach our current level, do you think we will not make progress? Director Gao, we will still have to buy it. The military industry can't just make its own money, it has to find ways to make other people's money. It's hard to find an export account like Wang Jian, but we can't let him go easily. "
"The king is wise." Gao Quan was so impressed that he was the king. This truth is very simple, but he couldn't figure it out. The more expensive the weapons, the easier it is to rely on logistics. Wang Jian's army is better equipped. It's awesome. In fact, in the end, it is less of a threat to the big man, because he can't produce these weapons himself. Once the big man cuts off the supply to him, all these things in his hand will become fire sticks.
Gao Quan figured out the key to this problem, but Wang Jian definitely didn't. After getting the purchasing catalog and supply quantity given to him by the big man, he jumped three feet high with joy. Although the price was a bit expensive, overall He said he could still bear it. After getting these weapons, your troops can have a major change of equipment. With these powerful weapons, if the big man in black comes again, let him know what it means to beat a dog with a meat bun, and he will not worry about them coming to beat him in the future. , but to expand our territory and solve their problems.
"General, this is a huge amount of money. More than two-thirds of our annual tax revenue is spent on this." Huang Ming frowned tightly as he looked at the total transaction amount below.
"Don't be afraid. This is just the first big purchase. There won't be so many in the future." Wang Jian comforted him: "After we transport these weapons back, of course we can't pay for them all. Those below will have to spend money. Come and buy equipment for your own soldiers." Wang Jian has already made plans for the slave owners below. "The standing army is provided by the state, but these soldiers who belong to them have to spend their own money. money."
"I'm afraid some people don't want to spend it. "
"There is nothing to worry about. We are going to counterattack next. Those who are not willing to spend money to buy equipment at this time can just let them stay in their own manor and play. The territory they conquered, the proceeds captured, and the slaves, They don’t have to think about anything. Only those who have the courage to follow me out to fight will gain more. I believe that within a few times, these people will desperately come to buy these weapons from us.”
"I really can't figure out why the Han Dynasty is so generous? These are important military weapons!" Huang Ming shook his head, "The thoughts of the King of Han are really hard to figure out!"
"We already call ourselves a vassal state, and we have to take things too seriously. He has to show some attitude. What's more, if I lose, they Han will have to face the enemy directly. The life of the Han people is very precious, and the King of Han does not want to have too much. He is using us as a weapon. In this case, he has to pay something to get it. "
He looked at Huang Ming and said: "In the long run, our soldiers have been forging ahead and fighting non-stop, while the Han people will gradually degenerate in comfort. At that time, it will be our opportunity, Huang Ming , I said that our generation is just planting trees, and the next generation or the next generation is our opportunity, and we must take a longer-term view.” (To be continued...)
