I’m The King Chapter 1321: : Han Banner World (11) Jealousy

Lu Chao quietly looked at the latest issue of Dahan Weekly, and sitting opposite him was the smuggler Guo Yun. Of course, his identity is no secret in Lu Chao now. For this spy from the National Security Bureau of the Han Dynasty, Lu Chao could tolerate him entering the house. From Gou Yi's point of view, this is indeed an incredible thing.

This issue of the newspaper published a special report on the celebration of the Han Dynasty, "The celebration alone cost 500,000 taels of silver, you are really rich." Lu Chao said a little sourly.

"The general may not have noticed the contents of the previous issues of the newspaper." Guo Yun smiled and pointed to the stack of newspapers he just brought over, "Actually, this celebration costs the court one cent." No money has been paid, and the cost of selling the naming rights and advertising space is not only enough to cover the cost of this time, but also has a lot of savings."

"Oh?" Lu Chao flipped through the newspaper below, glanced twice, and said with a smile: "Gao Yuan is really good at searching, and these businessmen are willing to spend money from such a fool?"

Guo Yun rolled his eyes, "This is not a search. In our big man, as long as you pay the full amount of taxes and fees according to the regulations, no one would dare to go to these businessmen to blackmail them. .”

"This is really strange, spending so much money just to erect a sign there?" Lu Chao said sarcastically, "Will his business be improved by erecting this sign?"

"That's exactly the reason." Guo Yun nodded and said: "In our Dahan, free trade is encouraged. There are many competing company workshops in an industry. If you don't want to find ways to let people know about your company, you Who will buy your products? Even Wu’s Liquor Industry, the leader in our domestic wine industry, is facing a lot of challenges now, let alone other industries. This is very different in Daqin.”

"What's the difference?" Hearing the pride in Guo Yun's words, Lu Chao felt a little unhappy. "May I give you an example?"

Guo Yun smiled: "General, let me take the military industry that you are most familiar with, for example, arm tension. Now Daqin can also produce, although the quality is not as good as our Dahan's, but In Daqin, it was the official craftsman camp that was producing everything. No matter how good or bad it was, regardless of the cost, it was still the property of the imperial court, right? What I'm thinking about is how to reduce the cost under the premise of ensuring the quality. Because the reason is very simple, only if you have good quality, the military will want it. If all the people involved are of the same quality, it will naturally depend on who has the lower price. Yes. In the words of our great king, there is competition to make progress. Therefore, in addition to maintaining quality and reducing costs, our Dahan military workshop must try to come up with some new products to attract the attention of the military. Otherwise, you Just wait for it to go bankrupt!"

Lu Chao gritted his teeth and frowned. The reason is very simple, and it can be revealed as soon as you say it, but there is no way to do it in Qin State. Even in areas under their own control, it is impossible to open up ordnance to civilian production. Wouldn't the world be in chaos?

"When the same Taoism is spread, in Dahan, there are many people doing this in every field, so whoever has new technology will naturally make a fortune, and whoever can reduce costs will naturally occupy In the market, if everyone is similar, it depends on whose product can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When people want to buy this kind of thing, your product will naturally come to mind, so this advertisement is naturally essential Yes." Guo Yun said with a smile: "Like Cangzhou Shipping Company, the inland states and counties used to be not very familiar with what they do, but now he spent a lot of money to buy the naming rights of the celebration, and his name became famous all over the country in an instant. , that’s the reason.”

"Is this shipping company very profitable?" Lu Chao asked.

"Of course, overseas is full of gold. Once our fleet goes there, it's not just random picking!" Guo Yun replied smoothly. As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized something, and immediately closed his mouth tightly.

Lu Chao smiled, and didn't continue talking about this issue. Right now, he doesn't have the strength to think about the Navy's issue at all.

"I need gunpowder. I need the grenade you produced." Lu Chao threw away the newspaper in his hand and said to Guo Yun.

Guo Yun shook his head: "General Lu, I'm afraid I can't solve your request. To be honest, our National Security Bureau has been under a lot of pressure to smuggle these ordinary weapons to you, especially from the military. , Commander Xu, who is opposite you, has written to the king many times, strongly requesting to stop this kind of tiger-infesting action, so it is impossible for us to meet your request for the two types of weapons you are asking for now, even if our National Security Bureau If you dare to do it, you will not be able to pass the military's test. You must be very clear that without the secret cooperation of the high-level military, we would not be able to transport even a single crossbow."

"I need them." Lu Chao insisted: "Although I used some methods to pry a few skilled technicians from Mao Wei, but the production is not enough, and if I want to take Xianyang City , I must need a large number of such weapons, otherwise my army will be **** rivers under the city of Xianyang without an inch of progress. All I need is the amount needed to conquer a battle in Xianyang, and I think you should have a way.”

"Well, I can only go back and report to my superiors first. As for the result, I don't have any hope. General Lu, for such a weapon, I advise you to make plans early. It is better to ask for help than to ask for help. I, I don't think the higher ups will agree to sell you such a weapon." Guo Yun said.

"The higher authorities may not approve it, but I believe you will have a solution." Lu Chao winked, and Gou Yi on the side immediately walked over and put a deposit certificate of the Central People's Bank of Dahan with a very large denomination In front of Guo Yun.

"This is an unregistered certificate of deposit. As long as anyone holds this certificate of deposit, they can withdraw money from any of your banks." Gou Yi said: "Mr. For the rest of your life, you will live a life that most people can't imagine."

Guo Yun smiled, and gently pushed the certificate of deposit back, "General Lu, your money is not for these things, but for my head, Guo Yun. My salary is very generous, enough Let me and my family live a life of adequate food and clothing, and I will report your affairs to the higher authorities, as for how to do it, it is not up to me to make up my mind."

"Whether it can be done or not, this order is yours." Lu Chao said with a smile, "Even if I reward you for bringing so much food and ordnance for me in the past two years."

"You don't need to thank me. In fact, you know very well that I am only following orders. In my heart, I wish that Daqin would be finished soon." Guo Yun stood up, "General, among us Dahan, this It won't work. Farewell."

Leaving this sentence behind, Guo Yun left in a huff.

Gou Yi was extremely angry, and he grabbed the handle of the knife heavily. "This **** is really hateful. He really doesn't know what's good."

Lu Chao took a deep breath, "Is this an official of the Han Dynasty? Gou Yi, haven't you been wondering why I like chatting with him?"

"Yeah, it's just a character after all." Gou Yi nodded.

"It's true that he is a small character, but from his mouth, and from these most common things, I can get the most real situation of the big man and the reasons for some things we can't imagine, such as This celebration of the Han Dynasty. From our point of view, this is just the reason for Gao Yuan to plunder the wealth of the people, but from this person, we get a completely different version."

"What a great success, extravagant extravagance, a harbinger of national subjugation!" Gou Yi said viciously.

Lu Chao couldn't help laughing, "The Han businessman is really rich. He even blinked his eyes when he took out tens of millions of silver. There is also a news published on this weekly newspaper, The whole set of weapons used by Gao Yuan was sold for more than one million taels of silver, and it was also bought by the boss of this Cangzhou shipping company, it’s amazing, is shipping really so profitable?"

"General, what is shipping? These sea merchants go out to rob!" Gou Yi whispered: "I got some news from Cangzhou. Going up, burning, killing, looting, doing everything possible, and then transporting the looted things back to the country, this is a robber, doing business without capital, and naturally very rich."

"It can't be said that it is a business without capital. Those sea-going ships still have to invest a lot of money in it. Robbery is also risky, let alone so far away from your own country? Some time ago, the newspaper also published a big man I got a piece of territory called Fusang overseas, and Gao Yuan divided it into four counties. Since it can become a county, the territory is not small." Lu Chao raised his head and closed his eyes, "The gap between us and Han is getting bigger and bigger. It's getting bigger."

"General, you..." Gou Yi looked at Lu Chao.

"Do you think I'm a little scared, a little timid?" Lu Chao said.

"Yes!" Gou Yi nodded ~IndoMTL.com~ Can you not be afraid? Han Guo, my enemy, is getting stronger and stronger, but I'm afraid it doesn't mean I don't dare to do it. I think Gao Yuan had something in the past. In more than ten years, he can achieve what he is today. This person is me. Looking at him growing up, do I still know how much talent he has? What he can do, I can naturally do it too, not to mention, my current starting point is much higher than his original one. All I need is an opportunity. "

"Of course the general can do it."

"By the way, how is the thing I asked you to do?"

"General, the child we found is five or six points similar in appearance to the prince, and the woman was indeed sent out from the prince's womb back then. I have already arranged everything. , that woman also knows what to do."

"Very well, I will go out next time, and this woman and child will also accompany me."

"Is the general going to meet someone?"

"Of course, I'm going to meet a very important person, so you follow me to meet him too." Lu Chao said with a smile. (to be continued...)
