Shangwen met with Li You in a small clerk office. There is no way. Shangwen's office space is rented. Moreover, there is no budget in government expenditure to reserve a special fund for government offices. Even the rent was paid by Shang Wen himself, whoever let the prime minister open the mansion must work in his own home. Helpless. Shang Wen only rented such a farmhouse.

With the expansion of the intelligence of government agencies. There are more and more office staff. The space in the house is fully utilized. Even the yard has set up tents to handle some things. Can arrange such a small space. It is already very difficult.

After a few greetings between the two sides. Then enter the topic. Through conversation. Shangwen learned of Li Yuan's purpose. It turned out to be with the government's large-scale cuts in defense spending. Many military orders from the Army have been cancelled. Almost many military factories are in a half-open state. Li You's arsenal also encountered the same situation. Although his continuous-fire gun and continuous-fire revolver sold well. But after all, it is military orders that account for the bulk. such as. He assumed more than half of the military's six-tube Vulcan order. It is also inspired by this revolver gun to develop this revolver.

But now the military has cancelled orders on a large scale. This put these arsenals into trouble all of a sudden. Their order was cancelled. The product cannot be sold. And their products are very special. It is a weapon.

Compared with general merchandise. They are too special.

At one time, the directors of several arsenals wanted to smuggle weapons. They believe that their products definitely have a market. But Li You thinks. This matter should be resolved with the Prime Minister. because. If these weapons could be sold, the prime minister would have instructed them a long time ago. Instead of using smuggling as a sneaky way. Therefore. He took the initiative. Look for Shangwen to solve this problem.

"For the production problem you raised. The error lies with me. I am sorry for that." Shangwen thought this was another mistake of his own. Did not adjust the direction in time.

"This problem. This is how I solved it. Military factories can't live on military orders alone. In that case, your competitive pressure is great. The government's expenditure is also great. Both sides can't bear it. Especially now. All aspects of Qin State. All need money. It is impossible for the military to order a large amount of arms." Li You nodded his approval.

"So. We canceled a large number of military orders. Taking into account your interests and needs. We have added some policies. Even we have to legislate to establish a series of security and trading companies. These security trading companies have legal certificates for holding guns. They can take any military action outside the actual occupation area of ​​the Qin army. That means they need more advanced weapons. They are more closely organized and well-trained. The weapons are well equipped." Shang Wen waved. Li You clearly saw a huge market. The eyes suddenly brightened a lot.

"In this way. The military can reduce military personnel. Further cut expenditures. These veterans can have many choices. Of course. Entering a security company is also a good choice." Shang Wen changed the subject a bit.

"In order for these personnel to be safe. They must need a reliable and powerful weapon. For example, the revolver you developed is very good. If the cavalry uses it, it is powerful." Shang Wen said.

"My lord. I understand. Thank you, my lord for reminding." Li You stood up and said with his hands. When Shang Wen said these words. Li You's mind has been much broader. prior to. Li You's arsenal has received orders from the private sector. But these lists are very small. It wasn't until the war began that the number of orders began to rise rapidly. But compared with huge military orders. The number of private orders is still very small. Their proportion is not very large. This was quickly ignored by Li Youqi. but now. Accompanied by the end of military operations. And a large number of security companies have been established. Li You saw a business opportunity. He decided to develop the civilian market.

"Right. Does your factory make artillery?" Shang Wen asked.

"Artillery. This is also produced. But is this open to the outside world?" Li You asked.

"Of course. The security company allows artillery. However, there is another need. The Navy. We cut defense spending. But we don't think that all services will be reduced. This time it is mainly the Army. Part of the reduced spending will be invested in the Navy. The navy needs a lot of artillery. And the requirements are very strict. I hope you can pay attention to it." Shangwen said.

"Thank you, my lord, for reminding." Li You saluted.

"Oh. No. No. This is nothing. I just want to tell you. The market is a very important subject. His preferences. You need to think about it yourself. The government can help very little." Shang Wen explained the present with a liberal perspective. Everything that happened.

Li You nodded his understanding. Then the conversation between the two ended. The meaning of these conversations will be conveyed by Li You to other arsenals. Other arsenals will begin to divert attention. Fight for military orders. But we must also rely on the civilian market to feed ourselves. Simultaneously. Some of them started to pay attention to other industries. After all, they have huge processing technology.

They aimed at the railway. Train locomotive.

Shang Wen went to the printing factory. The issuance of banknotes requires strong anti-counterfeiting technology.

Just when Qin State was busy. The dynamics of the six countries of Kanto are very uncertain.

The first is South Korea's attitude. Zhao and Qi joined forces to fight Yan State to the west of Liaoning within a short period of time. The two countries carve up a large amount of land. This makes Han Wang Anyou lean towards the Zhao Qi alliance. Want to suppress Qin State through Zhao Qi alliance. After all, Qin's strength is too strong now. Especially the last exercise. It scared Korea. I thought Qin was going to destroy Korea. With the lesson from the last time. Han Wangan is more inclined to find a suitable ally against Qin. But this idea was opposed by all the ministers. But Han Wangan insisted on doing this. He also sent an envoy to Zhao to discuss the alliance between the three countries.

But all this is known by Princess Liu Yi. She knew that this couldn't dissuade Han Wangan's stupid behavior at all. If South Korea forms an alliance. Qin Guo would definitely not interfere. It is even possible to destroy Korea. Then a paper agreement in one's hands will become waste paper. Han Shu thinks this matter is very tricky. But in order to obstruct Han Wangan's actions. Han Shu decided to assassinate the South Korean envoy. Let this thing not happen. Simultaneously. She herself began to "liberate serfs" and mobilized all the 20,000 civilians in her fief. Give them a lot of money to enlist in the army. Go to Qin State to receive secret training. Those women and children were mobilized on a large scale to seek a way out of Qin. This is labor output. These are not enough. She will also actively develop trade with Qin. She established a larger trading company in Qin. where is it. She imports a large amount of goods that Qin can buy. From arms to perfume. She buys everything that the Six Nations does not have. Then transport to Wei, Zhao, Qi, and Chu. She needs money. Need money badly. for money. She had to do this.
