"How? Are these prisoners of war still able to get along?" Wang Zhao asked Mengda.

"Yes. Very possible. With these prisoners of war, our project is progressing very fast. I think soon, we can have a railway directly to the border." Meng Da said with a smile.

"Well. Complete as soon as possible. The railway is what we need. The military is of great significance." Wang Zhao, as the main person in charge of Wang Ben's main business affairs, came to actively discuss this matter with Meng Da.

"This is natural." Mengda nodded and said.

"I have a question. I want to ask you business elites." Wang Zhao said with a smile at this time.

"Just kidding. How could we be business elites." Meng Da said modestly.

"No. You can really do this." Wang Zhao said.

"You have unique views in the business field. We are just soldiers and are not suitable for business at all. Compared with what you do, we are still far behind." Wang Zhao said.

"That's it." Meng Da is no longer humble, he knows that Wang Zhao must have specific things to say. There must be a big business opportunity in this one. This kind of business opportunity may be fleeting and it is best to seize it.

"I think Brother Meng also knows that we are mainly responsible for the Western Regions. There are many countries in the Western Regions. Judging from the latest situation, these countries are mainly Yueshi people, Tocharians, and the biggest ones. Sabbath. We do business with these countries, but we don't know what kind of business we can make the most profit?" At this time, Wang Zhao asked for advice.

"This is mainly a matter of commercial trade. Trade, generally speaking, is to provide our most advantageous products. The other party provides their most advantageous products. If not, they can have gold. I heard that the Shahman state has its own jewelry. I think we can start in this regard." Meng Da suggested.

"But, we don't know what can be done?" Wang Zhao said worriedly.

"Actually, General, this is very simple. As long as we control the railway, we can solve many problems. As for what kind of products we buy, we can see how others do it. We don't necessarily have to be ahead of others. For example, arms business, others It can be done, and the general can also do it. No matter how others do it, they can't do the arms business." Meng Da said at this time. Meng Da suddenly realized. The greatest benefit of railways is not to build railways. The most important thing is the operation of the railway. With the operation of the railway, especially the increase in transportation volume, it will have a great impact on the efficiency of the railway. After understanding this, Mengda began to encourage Wang Zhao to actively participate in the business.

"I still don't understand this. We can also do arms business, but we can't do too much. We must know that we are soldiers. If the soldiers are too involved in border trade, it will be very unfavorable to us. After all, we are soldiers." Zhao said, shaking his head.

"You can also do other businesses, such as tea and sugar, which are all consumer goods. In addition, there are materials such as cement and pig iron, and then various processed products." Meng Da said.

"I'm afraid the general doesn't understand yet." Meng Da stepped forward and said.

"For example, this glass mirror is very common in our country of Qin, but when placed in the Western Regions, I heard that the Yueshi people can sell a small piece of glass mirror for the value of three gems. If we can transport these materials in large quantities to The Western Regions, it must not be long before the entire Western Regions' treasures will be moved to us." Meng Da said with a smile.

"Yes. That's right. The countries in the Western Regions need a lot of things. Recently, a report came from the front line that the Tocharians had fought against the Yueshi people because of our products from the Qin Kingdom. As for what the fight was like. , We are not clear enough, but one thing is clear, it is caused by our products. Yue people made a lot of money from it, and the Tocharians are jealous of this kind of business, they also want to make a fortune from it. But the people of the Yue family seem to disagree. This creates a big conflict between the two sides." Wang Zhao said.

"General, so to speak, our Qin products are very popular." Meng Da said with a smile.

"Yes. If we can provide more goods, not only to the Yueshi people, but also to the Tocharians, I think it won’t take long for our goods to be sold to the Parthian nation. I heard that there are a lot of gold, silver and jewellery in the Shaanxi State. As a result, their wealth will be moved to our Qin State." Wang Zhao said.

"In this case, the railway will be expanded. Not only this, I have a small suggestion." Meng Da suggested at this time.

"Oh. Please speak." Wang Zhao said with interest.

"The countries of the Western Regions not only have a large amount of gold and silver, but also have a sufficient population. If these populations can be sold to our country, Qin will have sufficient labor. With sufficient labor, this railway can be built. Farther, and where the railway is expanded, there will be enough labor to use. In this way, they don't have to worry about gold and silver matters." Meng Da said with a smile.

"In this way, we can make a fortune on the railway again." Wang Zhao said happily.

"It's really exciting to chat with you. You can make a lot of money at every turn. I never thought of this before." Wang Zhao said happily.

"General, this is the same with me. Working with the general, we can make more money." Meng Da said with a smile.

"In that case, we can cooperate happily." Wang Zhao smiled and stretched out his hand and said Meng Da also smiled.

On the islands of Southeast Asia. A Korean merchant ship is anchored in a harbor not far away, and on the shore, there is a fortress built by Koreans temporarily.

"Hurry up, you little Nanyang people." A Korean sailor urged with a bayonet musket. Teams of small Nanyang people were strung up with ropes and escorted to the fort.

"Little Island is Little Island. The people caught are such little people. The skin is still dark." Zhang Feng said while biting a piece of tropical fruit. He is the captain of the merchant ship "Enterprise". His main task is to transport goods. He didn't know what kind of goods he was transporting, and sometimes he brought some valuable things.

"What are you doing with so many small Nanyang people? These people are useless at all." Zhang Feng said, taking a bite of the fruit and asked Wei Dong on the side. He is a Patriotic. However, he became a Korean citizen because South Korea’s business tax is very low and it is able to do such a big business, so Weidong is willing to come here to do business.

"What do you know? You know how to eat." Wei Dong said angrily. Then bowed his head and proceeded to calculate his own account books. He sketched with a pencil while counting the numbers. Then turned the page excitedly.

"You are greedy, don't know how much money you will make this year?" Zhang Feng said while looking at the other party's account book.

"You don't understand. Don't look at these islands, but there are more Nanyang people here. With such Nanyang people, you can ship to Queen Island, or you can make a lot of money in Central Plains. Now they are developing, and there are a lot of slaves needed, and these are good slaves." Wei Dong said.

"Oh. It seems that you are going to make a lot of money." Zhang Feng said jealously.

"Sure, I have to look at my account books every day, and all you see are nautical charts, or just eating these fruits, our time is different." Wei Dong said.

"I eat fruit, I am a vitamin supplement, do you know." Zhang Feng said.

"When sailing, you won’t get septicaemia. The best way to prevent this terrible disease is to supplement vitamins and eat continuously to survive. If you don’t survive, you won’t make more money. Money." Zhang Feng said.

"Yes. You are right, very right." Wei Dong said.

"But that's the end. You may set sail in a few days." Wei Dong said.

"What's wrong? What kind of goods are you transporting?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Yes. Deliver a batch of goods to Queen's Island." Wei Dong stopped the pen in his hand and said.

"What kind of product?" Zhang Feng was concerned.

"It is these Nanyang people, just transport them to Queen Island." Wei Dong said.

"No luck. These Nanyang people are stinking dead. And many people will die. Give them food and drink. I won't do it. I would rather transport wood than these Nanyang people." Zhang Feng said angrily. To. The so-called Little Island is actually the island of Java today. The indigenous people on the island did not know these Koreans at all, and they were quickly defeated in front of the sharp weapons of the Koreans. So they were soon captured by the Koreans and thrown into the fortress, which was actually a place where slaves were detained. When slaves stock a certain number of people, they will be transported to Queen Island, and then transported to the mainland via Queen Island, or sold to the Chu colonies along the way, where Chu people need these obedient Nanyang people very much.

It may take a long time to develop minerals in Nanyang. It requires a lot of technological accumulation. Koreans do not have such technological accumulation, but they quickly found another kind of resource. This kind of resource is human resources. There is a lack of slaves in various places, and the slave trade has always been flourishing. After discovering these Nanyangites, Korean merchants were smart enough to turn these Nanyangites into a commodity and sell them to the north.

"Don't do it. These Nanyang people are very annoyed, you don't know. They are still sick. If I didn't find out in time and throw them into the sea to feed the sharks, I'm afraid the people in the boat would be over." Zhang Feng complained. .

"I know. I allow you to kill some people, as long as you can transport most of them to Queen Island." Wei Dong said with a smile.

"Don't do it, these Nanyang people are stinking to death. Those who transported a boat, my boat was destroyed." Zhang Feng continued.
