I’m The King Chapter 1267: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (one hundred and fifty-seven) Yingchuan of Tan Feng
Yingchuan County City, General Mansion.
Tan Feng finished reading the latest issue of Dahan Daily, put down the newspaper silently, and walked to the window. A group of workers were busy on the school ground outside. The ground level of the entire yard will be re-leveled, a new type of building Not long ago, the materials were officially introduced into Yingchuan by Han merchants, and they were immediately loved by officials and common people alike.
This building material is called cement. As for why it is called this name, there are rumors that it was given by the king of Han himself, who used this latest building material to pour the ground. The road is not only flat but also strong. More importantly, the speed is extremely strange, like this In this kind of weather, after pouring in the morning, you can race horses on it in the afternoon. Although the school yard in General Tan Feng's Mansion is large, but at this speed, it can be completed in one morning.
&;pig;pig;island;novelwww.zhuzhu＋;Han Kingdom’s ingenious skills are endless, and this cement is said to be the process of building the east-west traffic artery by Guo Quan, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Han Dynasty. It was invented under the circumstances, and now in the territory of Han, this kind of cement workshop has sprung up like mushrooms, but no matter how many workshops there are, it should not be able to meet the huge demand in the whole country. The teams waited outside the various workshops. As soon as the cement is in stock, it will be shipped away immediately.
Yingshui and Yingchuan are separated by a river. In the past few years, the two sides have been hostile politically and confronted militaryly, but economically, with the acquiescence of both sides, it has been surprisingly lively. No, it turned these two confrontational military centers into a distribution center for commodity trade between the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Seeing that Tan Feng was silent, a middle-aged man in a green shirt and long beard walked up to Tan Feng behind him, and said with a smile: "This thing invented by the Han people is convenient for us. The most feared thing in other places is the rain. It is muddy, but in the city of Yingchuan, it is refreshing. General Tan has a broad mind, which has created the prosperity of Yingchuan, which is really impressive!"
Tan Feng smiled slightly. "Mr. Zhao, don't you think the Han people are scary? Don't you just see these things for convenience? What I see is their great role in the military."
The person called Mr. Zhao smiled and said nothing.
"This kind of thing called cement can be used to build roads, and naturally it can also be used to build cities and forts. I also heard that in the territory of Han, this kind of cement can already be mixed with steel, and the construction can be as high as several thousand. A ten-meter building. All the bridges in their territory are also being remodeled with this new construction method." Tan Feng said with a sigh.
"Of course this Zhao knows that our Dachu has just paid a large sum of patent royalties to Han through a businessman and bought the formula of this cement. Soon, our Dachu will also produce this new type of cement. Materials. Why didn’t you buy from them?” Mr. Zhao laughed.
"Do you think it is necessary for me to buy this patent? I am so close to Yingshui. If you want anything, just buy it from them, pay a large amount of patent fees to get this thing, and then build a factory and build a workshop. I might as well use this money to pay the soldiers more salaries. Make a few more steel knives, spears and arrows!" Tan Feng shook his head with a smile.
"Understand, understand!" Mr. Zhao said with a smile: "But we are very different. This kind of new technology, as long as you can buy it with money, of course you can buy it."
"Mr. Zhao has never thought about it. Why are the Han people willing to sell it?" Tan Feng asked: "They are willing to sell it, which means they don't care about this thing. Even if you use this to build the city and strengthen the city's defense force, they still have confidence. Hit and break it, so they are willing to use this thing to make money. If the Han Dynasty really sells everything, why don’t they sell their iron and steel smelting technology? I think if the Han people are willing to sell it If so, even if you call out a sky-high price, your country must be flocking to it!"
Mr. Zhao's complexion changed slightly, and he said after a while: "Something is better than nothing. Mr. Tan found out after thinking about it. The production cost of this thing in Han Dynasty is extremely low, but when sold, it is several times the profit! "
Tan Feng nodded, "Has your country noticed this problem in the past two years?"
"Of course, we are not fools. Over the past few years, our trade deficit with Han has been staggering. What does this mean? It shows that a large amount of wealth in our country is flowing to Han. The only thing Da Chu still has profit for Han is silk weaving and grain, not to mention grain, the profit of silk weaving is also declining year by year.”
The two turned around, walked to the table and sat down. Tan Feng lifted the teapot and filled their cups with fragrant tea. He seemed to ask casually: "I heard that the Jiangnan area of your country seems Not too peaceful!"
Mr. Zhao chuckled, "It's surprising that General Tan is still distracted by the affairs of our country in the face of the mighty army of the Han Dynasty. Our Dachu territory is vast, and it's not surprising that there are some troublesome people, but they are all Scabies is a small disease, not worth mentioning. You don’t even need to use the army. You only need local force to maintain law and order. It made General Tan laugh at it. Compared with the chaos in Shu County in your country, it is really a dog meat. !”
Listening to Mr. Zhao's sarcasm, Tan Feng didn't take it seriously. He held the cup in his hands and rubbed it in his hands, "A single spark can start a prairie fire. Do you know who said this? Gaoyuan! Chaos is worrying, but Shu is far away, and it is not in the hearts of my Great Qin. Even if Shu County finally breaks through, it will not cause fatal harm to Da Qin. It is the scabies disease you just mentioned. If it breaks out, As far as Da Chu is concerned, I am afraid it is like a choke in the throat, like a glow in the back."
Mr. Zhao fell silent. In front of the person in front of him, he obviously couldn't hide it from him.
"General Tan is right, so we have taken precautions before they happen. We are confident that we can handle these domestic affairs, but the threat of the Han Dynasty makes us worry day and night. It is ridiculous that there are still some people in the country. Thinking that the world is peaceful, doing business with the Han country is very enjoyable, earning a lot of money, but they don’t know that for every penny they earn, the Han people earn at least five cents, and the Han people are nourishing themselves with our blood and sweat!" Mr. Zhao said without much admiration. "In a few years, the Han people are getting stronger and stronger, and we are getting weaker and weaker. If we don't make great efforts to innovate now, I'm afraid the country will perish in the future!"
"Mr. Zhao is a sensible person, but it's a pity that there are not many sensible people like you in Chu State. Although Huang Shoufu is a great talent, he is too cautious and refuses to do things that are not sure. Mrs. Qu Wei was threatened by the threat of the Han army, so he devoted himself to military training. He only wanted to train a large army that could rival the Han army. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. I don't know that there is no sure thing in this world, but if there is a 60 to 70% chance of winning, you can hit it with all your strength, and if you have a 40 to 50% chance, you can try to do it."
Hearing Tan Feng comment on his two domestic ministers, Mr. Zhao said with a smile: "Now even if we Da Chu is willing to join hands with Da Qin to send troops, I'm afraid you won't be able to do so. Let's not talk about the chaos in Shu County for now. The gap between King Shang and General Lu will not disappear for a day, I am afraid that a large-scale attack will be a joke!"
Tan Feng shook his head and remained silent, unwilling to discuss this topic366858/'>in depth.
Mr. Zhao obviously understood what Tan Feng was thinking, so he changed the topic, "However, General Tan has only been in Yichuan County for a few years, but the talent he has shown has impressed me a lot. Now Ying Regardless of military strength or financial strength, Chuan County is thriving, not losing to the Han people.”
"It's just picking up people's wisdom, I can't compare with lofty talents, but I'm a good scholar, but I'm not afraid of being ridiculed." Tan Feng put down his cup and said.
"You can learn it, but we Chu people can't learn it. After our country carefully evaluated Gao Yuan's policy, we finally decided to give up." Mr. Zhao sighed: "The national conditions are different, what can we do? Your country It is a time when the overlord has no choice but to attack. Our country does not have this kind of pain, so it is impossible to make up our minds. Moreover, Huang Shoufu asserted that the reform of your country may inevitably end in failure."
"Oh, Huang Shoufu is so sure?" Tan Feng was a little surprised, "Oranges grown in Huainan are tangerines, and those born in Huaibei are oranges. The two countries have different national conditions, political theories, and strategies. It is so unreasonable to insist on the same. Isn’t it the opposite? The reason why Gao Yuan succeeded is because he started from scratch. Whether it’s generals or officials under his command, most of them started from humble beginnings. However, the Han Dynasty has vigorously restricted land annexation from the very beginning. General Tan should see that, In the Han Kingdom, can there be local tycoons? There is a rule in the Han Dynasty that officials should not own more than 100 mu of land~IndoMTL.com~ This kind of rigid rule is only feasible in the Han Kingdom? But in the Han Dynasty There are quite a lot of businessmen whose family wealth is comparable to that of the enemy country, but the two are not the same. The Great Qin and my Great Chu are exactly the opposite. How can you learn from the strategy of the Han State? The success of Yingseed is also because the local Dahao here suffered heavy casualties in the war, and the remaining people were eliminated by the general with the method of thunder teaching. The old ones have gone, and the new ones have not risen. It’s hard to establish the current state of prosperity, but the place is prosperous, and there are more hands stretched out? Is the general already troubled now?”
Tan Feng let out a long sigh.
"The general is now supported by Fan Sui in the court, so I'm not afraid of them, but if Fan Sui's reforms fail, he will be the first to be the scapegoat. Then what will the general do? He can still stop those greedy people who are stretching out. Palm?" Mr. Zhao said slowly.
"Naturally, I can't stop it. I'm not from Qin, so I was already very suspicious. Fortunately, the king and Fan Shoufu trust each other very much, so I have today. If Fan Shoufu goes away, I'm afraid I will end up in danger."
"Has the general never considered the way out?" Mr. Zhao put the teacup on the table and made a light ding.
Tan Feng suddenly raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as a knife. (to be continued...)
