"Is this the idea of ​​Bangladesh?" Han Fa asked Huang Jian.

"No, no, this is definitely not the idea of ​​Bangladesh. In addition to importing a large number of artillery and muskets, they also need us to help them train the army. This is not only a Champa country, there are more The country, it seems, the translation is a little uncomfortable, it seems to be a unified. In our words, it is like a dynasty like Zhou Tianzi." Huang Jian explained. Because of the linguistic incompatibility, many vocabularies need to be invented. The merchants of Chu Kingdom only know some business languages, but they don’t understand specific and more diplomatic vocabulary.

"This. I think this problem is bigger." Han Fa nodded and said.

"In my understanding, Bangladesh and Champu are already big countries. But I didn't expect that there was a dynasty that governed them. If this is the case, the purpose of their imported large amounts of weapons is unclear. . Moreover, our understanding of them is very insufficient, which is extremely detrimental to us." Han Fa said.

"That’s why I told you Koreans. The Mengla people hope that we Chu people can provide them with more weapons, and the translator repeatedly mentioned the threat from the north. We don’t know what the threat from the north is. And we don’t know what kind of threat the north is coming from. In short, this is how things are, and it has become extremely complicated.” Huang Jian said.

Han Fa didn’t say anything, just frowned. He also couldn’t understand what kind of dynasty was in Zhanpu and Bangla. When they came, they didn’t know anything and suddenly accepted such a dynasty. Explosive news, to them, is simply incomprehensible information. Moreover, this dynasty seems to have to import a large number of weapons, the quantity may be very alarming, but he does not know what the other party wants to use these weapons for, if it is to deal with himself, how to deal with his own situation, the Koreans and Chu people add up I am afraid it is not as large as 1% of the population of the other party. With such superior forces, Koreans and Chu people can easily be driven off the sea by each other.

At the same time, he didn't know what the threat to the north was. Now there are many doubts that make them very confused. For example, the threat from the north, the dynasty, these are all things.

"I think we should gather more information at the moment to understand what this dynasty is and what is the threat to the north. If possible, we can only make a decision after we understand the situation. Otherwise, everything will cause a certain loss to us. "Han Fa said cautiously.

"Well, I will figure out these things, but there are a lot of things that we don't understand enough, what exactly does the other party want to do?" Huang Jian asked.

"I don't know either." Han Fa said with a shrug.

In fact, this dynasty is the Maurya Dynasty. The Maurya Dynasty unified the entire India, but they were scattered. The threat to the north comes from the invasion of the Yue people, and there are many problems within the Maurya Dynasty. Under such circumstances, the emergence of Korean Chu people makes this situation even more confusing and chaotic. In order to deal with this Case. The Maurya Dynasty decided to purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment to deal with the threat from the north, because the Yuezhi people's deterrence compared with the Korean Chu people, the Yuezhi people's threat was too great.

The purpose of the Koreans and Chu people is very simple to trade. They are willing to start a business, even the arms business, they can sell their own weapons. They like gold, slaves, women, and all kinds of things that they think are valuable. thing. In contrast, Yueshi people are more greedy. What they want is more slaves, city-states, land, and everything they want. They have directly threatened the rule of the Maurya Dynasty, but the Maurya Dynasty has nothing to do with these Yue people because they have fire-breathing pipes. Maybe they just understand now that this thing is called a musket, and this kind of musket, artillery things, Koreans, Chu people have, but they need gold to buy, other things are OK, but the quantity is a lot, this is the difference. This is a kind of request.

The Yue people are insatiable, they will take everything from the Peacock Dynasty, while the Korean Chu people only want gold. In contrast. The Maurya Dynasty had to like Koreans and Chu people. But for such a situation. Han Fa and Huang Jian, they don’t know at all. After all, they are more businessmen. It is difficult to know from the extremely limited information, or to understand such a situation, it is difficult for them to form such information. Effective judgment allows them to make a decision.

Chu State. Pengcheng.

"In this case, it's very good. Even if we have a colony between Bangladesh and Champa," Fan Zeng said after reading the telegram from South Korea.

"It's just, do we have to have our own telegraph system too. Our news comes from South Korea's Xinzheng, that is to say, South Korea has priority to get news faster than us." Chen Ping said with some dissatisfaction.

"I know this. But we don't have any way to solve this problem." Fan Zeng said to Chen Ping. This is indeed the case. The news from the Chu country needs to be forwarded by the South Korean government before the Chu government can get it. Under such circumstances, the Chu government is at the end of the information, that is, they cannot get the highest priority news. When the telegraph became popular, their speed of receiving information greatly put them in a disadvantageous state.

"This is indeed true. Our financial funds are very limited. If we lay such a cable line, and it is still a submarine cable, we need to spend a lot of money, but our country of Chu does not currently have this ability." Chen Ping said helplessly.

"Well, it is true. Not only that. The shipyard told us that if they want to build ships quickly, they need to make iron nails, and they need such equipment and a lot of iron. But what do we get from these things? Looking for places, the raw materials are lacking." Fan Zeng said to Chen Ping.

"The key is funds. Wuyue Shipyard's funds are extremely limited. If this continues, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold on for long. This is extremely unfavorable to us, and we can't wait like this. We must take some measures, otherwise, The situation will be very unfavorable to us." Fan Zeng said.

"But we can only do something in the stock market, otherwise, we can't do such a thing at all." Chen Ping said.
