Chapter 946: Foreign Trade Model
"Of course we won!" The two generals said in unison.
Looking at the excitement of the kitten and Guo Jiuling, Qin Feng laughed: "Of course we win. Because we are taking big strides, and even if Qi people start reforming, they are just tiptoeing. How can they compare with us?"
"Your Majesty said it very well!"
"By the way, how is the situation with the queen?"
"Your Majesty, you are about to tell you about this." Guo Jiuling smiled and said, "A merchant ship came from Quanzhou and brought back the news about the Empress. Now the Empress is afraid that she has arrived in Shangjing City."
"Very good. Xi'er is carrying a lot of burdens on her shoulders when she goes to Shangjing. Min Ruoying may not be able to go back to Shangjing for a while. Xi'er has to cheer up those frightened civil and military officials of Chu, and to make them unite and reorganize their troops and rush to the front line of the anti-Qi Qi. Of course, they must also let the Chu State feel the kindness of our Ming Dynasty." Qin Feng smiled.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to sell our latest weapon to the Chu people?" The kitten frowned and said, "One day, we will start working for them. If these things fall into their hands, they will cause us trouble in the future."
"What's scary?" Qin Feng waved his hand: "We only walk one way of these weapons, that is, along the waterway to Quanzhou, and then send them to Jinghu. Only when the army goes to Jinghu can we get our weapons and equipment. Where is Jinghu in the future? It is the front line of fighting against Qi. Sending these things over and harvesting the lives of Qi's army. The more they are, the more powerful they will force the Qi people to mobilize more troops. Even, come to us for the same weapons."
The kitten smiled and said, "Then they are dreaming. We can sell it to Chu people, how can we sell it to Qi people?"
Qin Feng's eyebrows stood up, "Why not sell it? Of course, sell it! Do you know what business is the most profitable in this world? Monopolized business and monopoly arms business are even more profitable. When our weapons suffered a great loss in Jinghu, they will naturally turn to us to buy the same weapons."
"Why is this? The Chu people are weak now and are in-laws with me, Daming, and they are of great value. It is understandable to sell their weapons, but if we sell them to Qi people, aren't we causing trouble for ourselves?" The kitten changed color suddenly.
"Kitten, what weapons are we going to sell to them?" Qin Feng looked at the other party with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it's the latest crossbow machine, the rushing car, the thunder fire, these are all important weapons of the country!" Xiaomao said unwillingly. On the battlefield, these are all the existences of the Ming army crushing the enemy, but His Majesty was about to sell it to potential opponents, which made him misunderstand. In Xiaomao's opinion, the battle with Qi was only five or six years later.
"Yes, new crossbow machine, rushing car, thunder fire." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Then you say, can they imitate these things?"
The kitten shook his head: "I have discussed this matter carefully with the masters of Taiping City and Daye City. They cannot imitate it. First, the quality of iron and steelmaking with Qi Chu's technology is far from our level. Second, these weapons are precise in structure, and every small part in it, without high-quality steel, cannot be polished at all. Third, the craftsmen who polish these parts cannot be cultivated in a short time."
"That's right!" Qin Feng said: "They can't imitate it. But the more precise the weapon is, the faster it will be damaged. Just like a new crossbow machine, only a small part inside is broken, so this crossbow machine will not be used. For me, Daming, it's just a replacement part or a craftsman to repair it. But whether it's Qi or Chu, do they have parts to replace? Can anyone repair it?"
Hearing this, the kitten's eyes lit up.
"Whether the Qi army or the Chu people use such new weapons and see their power on the battlefield, will they still look down on the previous weapons? They will force their bosses to buy more of our weapons." Qin Feng half-closed his eyes, "Kitten, we have the final say in the price."
Guo Jiuling came over, "Your Majesty, this kind of takeaway weapon can also be used in small ways, so that the craftsmen can think of ways to use the materials. If these things are used for a while, they will suddenly break down."
Qin Feng looked at him, and the kitten looked at him, and then the three of them all started to laugh.
"Brave businessman!" Qin Feng pointed at Guo Jiuling.
"Blackhearted!" The kitten patted Guo Jiuling on the shoulder vigorously.
Although the two of them cursed, their expressions betrayed them.
"Is this matter done? Is it easy to deal with?" the kitten asked excitedly.
"Of course. When I knew that Your Majesty was about to sell weapons to them, I had discussed it with the masters." Guo Jiuling smiled proudly: "As Your Majesty said, the more precise the weapon, the easier it is to damage it. The craftsmen said that there is no need for much action. Just move your hands and feet on the most critical parts, which is enough to make a new crossbow machine a decoration."
"Your Majesty." The kitten looked up at Qin Feng: "This kind of weapon that has done tampering can never flow into our army."
"Of course, this is a takeaway model!" Qin Feng said naturally. "This is a big business that can bring us huge wealth. Xi'er went here, first of all, to convince the Chu people to buy our weapons at a high price. When the Qi people suffer losses under these weapons, they will naturally come to us. By the way, the quality of these first batch of weapons cannot be too poor, and they have to take care of it for a year or two."
"This is natural." The kitten nodded.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has also solved the problems of the Bai family by the way and sent them back to us." Guo Jiuling said happily. "Your Majesty, this is a report on related matters."
After taking the report from Guo Jiuling and browsing it in one glance, Qin Feng raised his eyebrows: "Xi'er doesn't take action, but it's a big hit when he takes action! By the way, have you settled this Ning Zefeng?"
"He and his family have been settled. Please rest assured that his every move cannot escape our eyes and ears, because he lives in Deer Lane."
When Qin Feng heard this place name, he couldn't help laughing, for nothing else, because Deer Lane was where the officers of the Eagle Nest lived. Where did Ning Zefeng be placed? It was not to put a lamb in the wolf's den.
"How to deal with this person? Ning Zeyuan will speak for himself in the future. This is still something that our Director of Maritime Affairs." Qin Feng said: "By the way, how about that Xiang Lian?"
When asked about Xiang Lian, Guo Jiuling's face turned a little bitter, "Your Majesty, this is a tough guy. At first I thought I had picked up a treasure, but I knew it was a stone in the pit."
"I haven't caught anything?" Qin Feng was a little surprised. The person who fell into the Eagle's Nest had not spit out anything yet. This was the first case.
Guo Jiuling shook his head bitterly, "This guy doesn't eat soft and hard. At first, I treated him as a guest. I was not stingy with fine wine, food and beauty, but this guy is good. He ate it all and turned his back on him. He talked endlessly about ordinary issues with him, but once he came into contact with the core issues, he would keep silent."
"Didn't you give him any trouble?" the kitten asked dissatisfiedly. "I still know some of your methods in the Eagle's Nest."
"Why haven't you tried it? You've tried everything. Xiang Lian has a trick. Once you torture, he will faint before he can do anything."
"Just pretending."
"No, I really fainted." Guo Jiuling shook his head, "It's still impossible to hide it from me. This is a science. To be honest, I really want to ask him about this science now. How did he practice successfully? This has a great effect on us cultivating our spies."
"Since that's the case, this person doesn't have to spend more effort." Qin Feng waved his hand, "Raising him first, maybe he can exchange him and Cao Hui for something in the future. In the past two years, there have been many people who have fallen into the hands of the Ghost Shadow of Qi. How can there be many ghost shadows like Xiang Lian be replaced with many people."
"If those people come back, the old minister dares not use them!" Guo Jiuling shook his head.
"Even if it can't be used, it's my Daming people. Even if it's for other Hawk Nest spies to see, it's worth it. It's a huge fortune! Being a spy is a business with your head in hand. To make these spies understand that the Ming Dynasty attaches importance to them. If they fail, they won't let it go, don't you?"
"Your Majesty's wise." Guo Jiuling was grateful for it. This was naturally a special thing for the condensation of the Eagle's Nest. Xiang Lian was not an ordinary person, and using him to exchange for an ordinary Eagle's Nest Spy would naturally suffer a great loss for the Ming Dynasty. However, the brothers below will inevitably be highly motivated and no longer regard going out to lurking as a fear of the way. "The old minister thanked His Majesty for his brothers."
"What's the thanks to this? Xiang Lian, who has no value, will get more Daming Ziming back. How can I make money in this business?" Qin Feng said with a smile. "By the way, when will Ning Zeyuan come back?"
"It should be soon. If the fleet collapses Baoqing, he will come to the capital to see His Majesty." Guo Jiuling said.
