Lu Chao quietly looked at the latest issue of Dahan Weekly. Sitting opposite him was the smuggling merchant Guo Yun. Of course, his identity is no longer a secret in Lu Chao. ￠￡ For this spy from the Dahan National Security Bureau, Lu Chao could tolerate him entering the house. In Gou Yi's opinion, this is indeed an incredible thing.

This issue of the newspaper is a special report on the celebration of the Han Dynasty. "The cost of the celebration alone costs 500,000 taels of silver. You are so generous." Lu Chao said a little sourly.

"The General may not have noticed the contents of the previous newspapers." Guo Yun smiled and pointed to the stack of newspapers he had just brought over. "In fact, the court did not pay a penny for this celebration. The cost of selling naming rights and advertising spaces is not only enough to cover the cost of this time, but also a great savings."

"Oh?" Lu Chao turned the newspaper below, glanced at it, and smiled, "Gao Yuan is really good at plundering. Are these businessmen willing to spend the money of this sucker?"

Guo Yun's eyes flipped over, "This is not a plunder. For us big men, as long as you pay the full tax and fee according to regulations, no one dares to blackmail these merchants. This is a business, you are willing to do so."

"This is really strange. I just spend so much money to put a card there?" Lu Chao said sarcastically, "Can he put this card be able to take his business to a higher level?"

"That's the reason." Guo Yun nodded: "In our Dahan, free trade is encouraged. There are many competitive company workshops in an industry. If you don't try every means to let people know your company and your workshop, who will buy your products? Even Wu's Wine Industry, the leader of our domestic wine industry, is facing considerable challenges now, let alone other industries. This is very different from Daqin."

"What's the difference?" Lu Chao felt a little unhappy when he heard Guo Yun's pride in his words. "Why give an example?"

Guo Yun smiled: "General, let me take the military industry that you are most familiar with, for example. For example, the Great Qin can also produce it now. Although the quality is not as good as that of our Great Han, in the Great Qin, the one who produces the Imperial Banner is an official craftsmanship camp. Regardless of whether it is good or not, no matter how much it is, it is the industry of the imperial court, right? But in our Great Han, these military weapons have been privatized, and the bosses have been thinking about how to reduce costs while ensuring quality. Because the reason is very simple, only if you have good quality will the military want it. If all the people participating are of the same quality, it will naturally depend on who has the lower price. In the words of our King, there will be progress only with competition. Therefore, in addition to maintaining quality and reducing costs, our Great Han's military workshops must also find ways to find some new products to attract the attention of the military, otherwise, you will just wait to go bankrupt!"

Lu Chao gritted his teeth and frowned. The reason is very simple, and he could explain it clearly, but there is no way to do this in Qin State. Even in the area under his control, it is impossible to open the arms to the people for production. Isn’t that the world turmoil?

"The same amount of Taoism is promoted. In Dahan, there are many people doing this in every field. So whoever has new technology will naturally make a fortune, who can reduce costs, and who can naturally occupy the market. If everyone is similar, it depends on whose product can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When everyone wants to buy such things, your products will naturally appear in their minds. Therefore, this advertisement is naturally indispensable." Guo Yun smiled and said: "Like Cangzhou Maritime Transportation Company, in the past, the prefectures and counties in the inland areas were not very familiar with what they did, but now he spent a lot of money to buy the naming rights of the celebration, and his reputation became resounding across the country in an instant. That's the truth."

"This shipping company is very profitable?" Lu Chao asked.

"Of course, gold is everywhere overseas. Once our fleet goes, it's not easy to pick it up!" Guo Yun replied casually. As soon as he said that, he suddenly realized something and immediately closed his mouth tightly.

Lu Chao smiled and didn't continue talking about this issue. He didn't have the ability to think about the navy's problem at all. Even if he poked anything out of this guy's mouth, it would be useless.

"I need gunpowder. I need the grenades you produce." 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 great pressure to smuggle these ordinary weapons to you, especially from the military. Commander Xu, opposite you, has written to the king many times, strongly demanding that this action of raising tigers be stopped. Therefore, we cannot meet your request for these two types of weapons you are asking for now. Even if our National Security Bureau dares to do it, we cannot pass the military level. You must be very clear that without the secret cooperation of the senior military leaders, we cannot transport even a crossbow arrow."

"I need them." Lu Chao insisted: "Although I used some methods to pry several mature technicians from Maowei, the amount produced was insufficient. If I wanted to take down Xianyang City, I would definitely need a large number of such weapons, otherwise my army would be bleeding from the city of Xianyang without any progress. All I need is the amount needed to conquer Xianyang, and I think you should have a way."

"I can only go back and report to the superiors first. As for the result, I don't have hope. General Lu, I advise you to make plans early on for such weapons. It is better to be self-reliant than to ask others. I don't think the superiors will agree to sell you such weapons." Guo Yun said.

"The above may not approve it, but I believe you will definitely have a solution." Lu Chao winked, and Gou Yi, who was on the other hand, immediately walked over and placed a certificate of deposit from the Dahan Central People's Bank of China with a huge denomination in front of Guo Yun.

"This is an unnamed certificate of deposit. Anyone can withdraw money from any bank of your great man with this certificate of deposit." Gou Yi said: "Mr. Guo. This money is enough to allow you to live a life that ordinary people can't think of in the rest of your life."

Guo Yun smiled and gently pushed the certificate of deposit back, "General Lu, you don't buy these things, you are here to buy my Guo Yun's head. My salary is very rich, enough to allow my family and I to live a good life of food and clothing. I will report your affairs to the top. As for how to do it, it is not something I can make up my mind."

"No matter whether it is done or not, this order is yours." Lu Chao said with a smile: "It's my reward for transporting so much food and weapons for me in the past two years."

"You don't need to thank me. Actually, you know very well that I just did it on order. In my heart, I wish Daqin would be finished soon." Guo Yun stood up, "General, this is not feasible for us Dahan. Goodbye."

Leaving this sentence, Guo Yun left with his sleeves.

Gou Yi was extremely angry and held the hilt with his hands. "This bastard is really hateful, he is really ungrateful."

Lu Chao took a deep breath, "Is this the official of Han Dynasty? Gou Yi, aren't you always wondering why I like to chat with him?"

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

"It is true that it is a small character, but from his mouth, from these most ordinary things, I can draw the most real situation of the great man and some things that we cannot imagine, such as the celebration of the Han Dynasty this time. From our perspective, this is just the reason why Gao Yuan plundered the wealth of the people, but from this person's mouth, we get a completely different version."

"I am so happy with merit, I am so extravagant, and it is a sign of destruction of the country!" Gou Yi said viciously.

Lu Chao couldn't help laughing, "The Han businessman is really rich. He took out dozens of millions of silver, and his eyes were blinking. A message was published on this weekly newspaper. A complete set of weapons Gao Yuan used sold for more than one million taels of silver, which was also bought by the boss of this Cangzhou shipping company. It's amazing. Is shipping really so profitable?"

"General, what kind of shipping? These maritime merchants go out to rob!" Gou Yi whispered: "I got some news from Cangzhou. After these shipping companies went out to sea, they went to the land of those non-gold countries, burned, killed, looted, and used all the best, and then transported the robbed things back to the country. This is a robber. If you do business without a foundation, you will naturally be very rich."

"It cannot be said that there is no business. Those sea boats still have to invest a lot of money in it. Robbery is also risky, let alone so far away from their own country? Some time ago, the newspaper also published in the newspaper that the Han Dynasty obtained a piece of territory called Fusang overseas, and Gao Yuan classified it into four counties. Since it can become the county seat, the territory is not small." Lu Chao raised his head and closed his eyes, "The gap between us and the Han country is getting bigger and bigger."

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

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

"Yes!" Gou Yi nodded.

"Can you not be afraid? The Han Dynasty, my enemy is getting stronger and stronger, but fear does not mean that I dare not do it. Thinking about what Gao Yuan had at the time, he could have reached this point in more than ten years. I saw this person growing up. I still know how much talent he has? I can do it naturally, not to mention that my starting point is much higher than that before. What I need is just an opportunity."

"Of course the general can do it."

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

"General, the child we found is five or sixty-sixth-size to the eldest prince's appearance, and that woman was indeed dismissed from the eldest prince's womb. I have already arranged everything, and that woman knows what to do."

"Very good. I'm going to go out next, and this woman and the child will also go with me."

"Is the general going to meet someone?"
