Jia Xu frowned slightly.

"Lord, selling weapons to foreign countries will cause certain hidden dangers to national security. I do not recommend selling weapons and equipment to foreign countries.

Since the Peacock, Parthian, Roman and other empires are so powerful, we must be more careful and control them as much as possible."

Jia Xu said.

Qin Qi felt very relieved after hearing this. Jia Xu was right to consider it, and it was definitely for the safety of the Central Plains Empire.

Unlike some sycophants who blindly please, regardless of the interests of the country and the nation, and only seek temporary convenience.

Jia Xu not only has a high IQ, but also a very high emotional intelligence. He is very good at talking, making people feel comfortable listening to him, and will not make people feel disgusted.

Loyal minister and treacherous minister are actually the same word. It depends on how the person in charge uses it and how he makes up his mind.

If a famous king has many treacherous ministers around him, it will not have any impact. Otherwise, the harm of one treacherous minister will destroy the country and the family.

"Mr. Wenhe, we used to sell weapons and equipment into two levels, and we did make a lot of money.

The next step can also be implemented to the outside world. Just divide the weapons and equipment into several more levels and list those that can be sold.

Those are prohibited for sale to the outside world. Due to the use of steam engines in our Central Plains region, heat/weapons have appeared.

Sooner or later, cold weapons will be eliminated. This is an inevitable trend that no one can stop or stop, just like the wheel of history.

Whether people accept it or not, the wheels will still roll forward and crush all old things to pieces."

Qin Qi said.

"We use commercial means to sell cold weapons with poor performance or weapons that have been eliminated by the Xiakou Army.

One is to make money from the other party, and the other is to make the other party have a dependent mentality and stop working hard to develop new technologies.

The third is to let the major empires continue to fight to the death. It is better to fight to the death and be afraid of being injured. We can watch the show on the side."

Qin Qi said.

Selling weapons and equipment is definitely the most profitable thing. Think about the beautiful countries in future generations that sell advanced weapons to foreign countries every year.

Military/arms dealers make a lot of money.

Who cares that selling weapons will bring a lot of instability to society, let alone how many people will die.

As long as there is no war within the country, it does not matter if there is a war in other countries. The people who die are the people of other countries.

"My lord, you are worried that the Western Region is too large to be controlled and prone to rebellion and the like."

Jia Xu said.

Qin Qi nodded.

"There are indeed concerns in this regard. After all, the roads in the Western Region are in terrible condition, and it is not easy to build them.

It will cost a lot of money. We have no way to solve it in the short term. When the country becomes strong in the future,

Only when you are wealthy can you consider building various high-grade highways. Nowadays, the population in the Western Region is sparsely populated.

Even if roads to various places are built, their value is not high and it is really not cost-effective. Let’s take over the Western Region.

We can only build a few main roads first, and it will take a long time to build other branch roads. The roads are impassable.

Local control is prone to various problems. In addition, it is far away from the Central Plains, and it takes time to mobilize troops and horses."

Qin Qi said.

Jia Xu nodded.

After picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Jia Xu put down the wine glass.

"Lord, it seems that the distance of our transmitter has reached a new breakthrough. I heard that it has now reached five hundred miles.

It is entirely possible to set up a dispatching and receiving station in one place, so that any situation can be reported to the Central Plains area in a timely manner.

Besides, with the advancement of technology, the distance between sending and receiving messages will become farther and farther, so we don’t have to worry about local safety at all.

Having an artifact like a transceiver is not only beneficial to the military, but also beneficial to local control."

Jia Xu said.

Hahaha!

Qin Qi laughed loudly.

Come!

Take one!

Bang!

Qin Qi's wine glass touched Jia Xu's gently.

"Mr. Wenhe, things like transceivers have a greater future for civilian use. Don't just think about the military.

In terms of local control, in fact, once dispatching and receiving stations are built in various parts of the Central Plains, they can be opened to the people.

Spend some money and send it anywhere you want. Especially for urgent matters, it won't waste time.

It will not delay business opportunities. Mr. Wenhe, imagine what the situation will be like by then and how much role it can play."

Qin Qi said.

"Mr. Wenhe, after taking the Wusun Kingdom, stay in Luoyang for a while and have a good rest. I want to take the caravan to the Western World.

Transport silk, ceramics, cosmetics, clothes, tea and various daily necessities produced in the Central Plains to West Asia for trade.

If conditions permit, spend money to buy a dock and a piece of land on the land in West Asia, and then build a large trading center.

It is a hub specifically for merchants from the Central Plains to transport things for sale to the Western world. In that case, we can adopt a business model,

Earn back the gold coins from the Roman Empire and other countries in the West. I heard that the Roman Empire alone had as many as 100 million gold coins flowing out a year.

Whether it is the Mauryan Empire, the Parthian Empire or the Roman Empire, these empires have very rich heritage and have a large amount of gold coins stored in them.

To put it simply, these empires have plundered foreign countries and robbed a lot of wealth for thousands of years, and they are really rich!"

Qin Qi said.

What!

One hundred million gold coins!

Jia Xu was extremely surprised when he heard this!

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that those empires would be so wealthy.

So rich!

"My Lord, why are those empires so rich? Our Han Dynasty has been established for a long time, so why do we feel that compared with those empires, we are just poor!"

Jia Xu said.

hehe!

"Mr. Wenhe, there are several reasons for this: First, our Central Plains region is not rich in gold.

The emperor often regarded brass as gold to reward his ministers. To put it bluntly, it was not worth much, it was just a pile of rotten copper and scrap iron.

Second, the Central Plains dynasty was not good at plundering and robbing, and felt that it was not in line with humane principles and emphasized courtesy and reciprocity.

The vassal country paid tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty one tael of silver, and the emperor had to give away ten taels of silver, so that the emperor would have face.

Therefore, for a long time, the Central Plains dynasty treated its vassal states not by collecting tribute, but instead becoming a burden to the country.

The major Western empires are not like this. They have always followed Conglin's law and plundered wantonly and robbed other countries of their wealth.

Gold and silver. After thousands of years of this, those empires have indeed grabbed a lot of gold and silver."

Qin Qi said.

Jia Xu nodded.

"My lord, if it weren't for you becoming an official, our Central Plains dynasty still wouldn't be able to change its pedantic behavior.

They will not annihilate the grassland people and keep them captive after they are captured. How can the country bear it?

Now, let’s throw them into a civilized school and let them undergo transformation and learn various skills.

Contribute to the development of the empire. In the past, we talked to the prairie people about kindness and reason all day long, but the prairie people simply ignored us.

You say what you want, go your own way. Now, we must be ruthless when dealing with the enemy, and we will do nothing if we don't take action. Once we do, we will beat him to death, and we will beat him to the point where he cannot stand up."

Jia Xu said.

Not easy!

After years of inducement, officials in Xiakou were made aware of the truth and completely changed their attitude towards foreign policy.

It can be said that Qin Qi introduced advanced ideas and advanced ways of thinking, and officials in the Central Plains region will not handle affairs with dogmatism.

The status and treatment of special craftsmen and soldiers have been greatly improved, bringing fundamental changes to the Central Plains region.
