Chapter 362

"Sir, although we have no objection to the three rules and are willing to cooperate with the court to create this new type of weapons and harness, we only equipped with 10,000 pawns. I am afraid that we will not succeed in purge Henan!" A very insightful merchant was obviously not overwhelmed by the rewards and money collection, and asked the most concerning things.

It’s easy to say that the horse harness and weapons are built. If this battle is not won, then no matter how rewards are, you may not be able to make a fortune after spending money and hard work. The emperor even blamed the merchant for not winning the battle in anger, and was chopped up and found a place to cry.

"Don't worry, the new weapon and horse harness sample messenger has been brought. Just in the yard behind, you can see at a glance that there are also various weapons and horse harness drawing lists, and they will be distributed to you later. Please follow me to the backyard to see first. If you have any doubts, you can not participate. The county government will not force you!" After Jiang Beiting finished speaking, he took a group of people to the backyard with the messenger to watch a sample of a war horse that had been equipped.

A neatly-clad horse was in the backyard. The craftsmen who accompanied him carefully explained the saddle, stirrup, and horseshoe to dozens of merchants in detail. At the same time, they arranged a fully armed soldier to run a few laps in the yard, and also demonstrated the new steel big sword and saber.

"Hiss~~" Looking at the soldiers riding on the horse, flexibly wielding their swords to slash left and right, and easily cutting off several wooden stakes as thick as calves, a group of merchants instantly took a deep breath, and at the same time they all had a new understanding of this new type of horse harness and weapons.

"Sure enough, Mr. Fan did not bully me. This is indeed a major event that has never happened in the ages!" a merchant whispered in surprise.

"As Mr. Fan said, this is the time when my merchants turn over. I will go to Mr. Fan's mansion to discuss a detailed countermeasure!" said an old man.

"Yes, things are urgent. In four months, 10,000 sets of horse harnesses and weapons will be made from scratch. Although it is difficult, we must work together to complete it. As Mr. Fan said, the success or failure of our merchants is here." Several merchants next to him nodded with serious expressions.

Half an hour later, dozens of merchants came out of the county magistrate's office with a thick picture and text-based equipment production manual and a contract template for participating in the creation of pawn equipment. Then they all gathered at the office and whispered to wait.

"Fan Yang, your Fan family has a great reputation in the business world of the Qin Dynasty and is known as a business leader. Therefore, you must take the lead in setting an example in this matter. The county government and the county under Nanyang will cooperate fully in the construction of horse-dressing equipment. Taxes are exempted. Although you need to call and prepare for the craftsmen and slaves yourself, I can dispatch all the prisoners in Nanyang County to you to assist in mining and transportation... As long as you do this matter, I will definitely help you win the position of a central policeman at that time!"

"Mr. Magistrate said this seriously?" Fan Yan's excited beard and eyebrows were shaking.

"I am keeping my word, but according to the contract, you must prepare the food consumed by the prisoners and the tools for mining. For safety plans, I will discuss with the county magistrate. At that time, I will dispatch soldiers to help guard the guards. Everything is based on completing the equipment of the horse and horse. The more you complete, the greater the benefits you will get. Of course, I am also benefiting in the performance assessment!" Jiang Beiting nodded and said.

"Don't worry, as long as the county magistrate and county magistrate support, even if you lose money this time, I will definitely urge fellow businessmen in Nanyang to speed up the completion of the task!" Fan Yong bowed excitedly.

"Okay, go and come to me in time if you have any questions!"

"The people of the grass retreat!" Fan Yong left the government office after showing his favor. All the merchants outside rushed up and asked excitedly, "Old Fan, what else did the county magistrate say?"

Fan Yong waved his sleeves and said excitedly: "Let's go to my house to discuss carefully."

So all the merchants got on the carriage and followed Fan Yong, and entered the Fan Manor all the way. They sat down in a living room. Although the room was dozens of feet in size, so many people suddenly rushed in, and they suddenly seemed narrow and crowded. They sat down separately in a noisy manner. After the servant presented incense tea, Fan Yong dispersed all the unrelated personnel. The servant closed the door. The sound of the room slowly calmed down. Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Fan Yong.

"Everyone knows what happened today, but in fact, the incident was written to notify me a few days ago. So a few days ago, I discussed things with several business colleagues in advance. Now the matter is clear, so I no longer hide it. In fact, the construction of horse-dressing equipment this time is a peerless opportunity for Qinghe to change our status and status for our merchants. Cheng Ze was proud. From then on, merchants can also get the same status as all people, and even become officials and gentry in the future, but not..." Fan Yong's eyes swept across everyone in the room, and his voice became serious and low, "If not, my merchants will definitely become untouchables from now on and will never turn over."

"Fan... Mr. Fan, do you say... this mission was won by Qinghehou for us?" A middle-aged businessman asked with a red face and stuttering.

"Not bad!" Fan Yong nodded and stood up, his eyes eager and excited, "Qinghe Hou once told me: No country is stable without agriculture, no business is rich. Although we merchants pursue capital and profit, we must be clean and honest, do things openly and honestly, do not restrain, do not engage in fraud, emphasize integrity, benevolence and righteousness, respect etiquette and virtue, and be able to bear the word "gentleman". At that time, Qin State carried out Wei Yang's laws, value agriculture and suppress business, regarded benevolence and etiquette like lice, and regarded the wind of gentlemen like poisonous snakes, and severe laws destroyed our inheritance of Chinese etiquette. Now that the Qin Dynasty unified the world, no one has ever told a gentleman that he was a gentleman. , and above the court, there are disciples like Li Si, who uphold the power of the state. If it weren't for the Marquis of Qinghe, when will we become a merchant have a day to turn around? So... this mission is successful or not! In order to ensure the smooth success of this mission, the Huaxia Money House will raise 10 million yuan to build horse harnesses and weapons. If you are willing to participate, you can sign a loan contract with the money house, with interest reduced by half, and the term is one year. During this year, we must gather manpower and material resources to build a huge equipment supply base in Nanyang County..."

"Mr. Fan, the loan matter can certainly solve our urgent needs, but it is only ten thousand sets of pawn equipment, which is only a few million stones of money and grain. The investment is so huge that it is probably not worth the loss!" A businessman in his thirties stood up and said.

"Haha, do you really think there are only 10,000 sets of equipment?" A fat man in his forties could not help but sneer a few times.

"Isn't it?" The questioner looked puzzled.

"Young people, please use your brain more. My Great Qin is now armed with millions of armor. Your Majesty's ambition is far superior to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Last year, there was news that Xianyang wanted to conquer Lingnan, but now it suddenly changed its sect to attack the Huns in spring. The Huns are not just Henan, but there are thousands of miles of grasslands in Hebei. What's more, the Donghu, Qiang and Rong are all worried about harassing our Great Qin. These 10,000 sets of equipment are just appetizers. If these 10,000 sets of weapons and horse equipment can sweep the Huns in Henan, there will inevitably be 30,000 sets of 50,000 sets of equipment waiting to be built. If there is no sufficient preparation and no enough financial support, the share that falls in Nanyang will definitely be pitifully small. Even if you want to fight, you will have no chance. The merchants in the counties of Shangdang of Sanchuan are not fools." The fat man couldn't help but explain.

"Brother Fei said it is good, but after watching the performance of equipment samples and horse pawns today, I felt that this time His Majesty wiped out Henan would inevitably be a battle of destruction. I went to Henan to buy fur goods several times. Those Hun barbarians have seen many. Although they are barbaric and good at riding, they do not have stable mount equipment such as saddles and stirrups. They don't have simple saddles. They usually sit naked on the horse's back and grab the horse's hair and run, and most of them don't even have horse reins. The weapons are even simple, with wooden sticks and legs, and bows and arrows that are rough and chaotic. Look at the battle between their tribes, they are tied up a stone with ropes to attack each other, how to compare with our Great Qin pawns. Now with the new saddle stirrups, plus the advantages of sabers and big swords, I'm afraid that one fights ten, it will definitely be as refreshing as cutting melons and vegetables." A middle-aged businessman next to him echoed.

"However, Your Majesty will inevitably sweep the Huns this time. At that time, we will get hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses and mountains of fur from Henan as if we were picking up money, and of course there are slaves and grooms who are proficient in animal husbandry!" Another businessman also nodded.

"I heard that the Hun women were savage and difficult to tame. I was particularly interested. Then I would get eight or ten to come back to raise them in the mansion and have fun!" a businessman said lustfully.

"Haha, the Hun women have been hunting since childhood. They are strong in physique. Not to mention ten or eight, they are afraid that one of them will not be able to withstand it. What's more, I heard that they never take a bath, and the smell on their bodies is afraid that they will smudge you!"

"It's okay, I like the most interesting ones!"

"Hahahaha~" All kinds of happy laughter suddenly sounded in the room, and the atmosphere became relaxed immediately.

There is an extremely vulgar saying in Lao Ha hometown: Three men don’t talk about pussy, today’s sun will not set, and three women don’t talk about dicks, and today’s work cannot be done.

Therefore, in this room, and all of them are super rich businessmen, there are naturally many concubines in the family, but as the saying goes, eating a bowl and looking at the pot, in the era when Daqin was a weak sexual concept and treating women as slaves, discussing these topics in public is not a contemptible thing. On the contrary, everyone is very interested.

After a burst of laughter, the color on Fan's face slowly became colder: "Everyone, since we are all gathered at Fan to discuss plans today, I was also advised by the Hou of Qinghe to set an example and successfully create these ten thousand sets of pawn equipment. I don't care what the merchants in other counties do, but Nanyang must not make any mistakes. In order to accomplish this, I will also ignore the cost. You must give me a reply within two days. Anyone who participates must have staff in the factory within half a month.

After the preparations are completed, at the end of November, we must bring out qualified weapons and horse harnesses. By the end of February next spring, we will account for at least 30,000 sets of equipment in Nanyang. In addition, I will also spread this matter to the business leaders of various counties in the name of Fan to explain the interests. Friends, those who are willing to join hands with me to advance and retreat, please sign a contract of three rules. Then we will discuss the details and assign the tasks they should complete. Finally, we will work together to boost our merchants' status in Daqin!"

"Mr. Fan, since we have come, we have seen it, and we will definitely not give up. This is related to the interests of tens of thousands of merchants in the Qin Dynasty. We will fight for life and death, and even if we lose everything, we will do whatever we want!" Fatty Fei stood up and bowed, his tone was very heroic.

"Yes, please don't worry, Mr. Fan, I'll listen to your instructions!" More than a dozen businessmen, both old and young, stood up.

"We are going to advance and retreat with Fan Gong!" The remaining businessmen who were still hesitating were silent for a moment and all stood up. Whether they were coerced or really willing, under this situation, it was related to the merchant's future status and status. If they retreated, they probably wouldn't be able to survive in the business world in the future. In addition, there is a loan of 10 million yuan for Huaxia Money House as a guarantee. If they lose money, they will vomit blood first.
