Shengze paused, a rare moment of embarrassment flashed across his face, and sighed: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but... as long as I delay it for another month, it will be relieved."
The treasures left to him by his father didn't include much cash and gold. During this period, the expenditure on armaments and cold protection was dozens of times that of the Northern Hubei Army in previous years. Those things really couldn't last long.
As for those antique calligraphy and paintings, it is difficult to sell them now. It is better to find another way to deal with the money.
"Do you want to wait until our caravan sells thermal supplies to the six northwest states?" Shen Qingqian raised her eyebrows, obviously disapproving.
Shengze was helpless, "That's all we can do now."
Shen Qingqian was speechless, "Have you forgotten, we have more than just thermal supplies that can be sold for money."
Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the planting base. Take out whatever you want, don’t you get robbed?
After all, Shengze was not good at farming and did not focus on that aspect. The first thing that came to mind at this time was not the planting base. He frowned and said, "You mean gunpowder weapons?"
If you sell gunpowder weapons, you can quickly accumulate a lot of money, but... wouldn't that add trouble to yourself?
Shen Qingqian was stunned, she had forgotten about this.
After a while, Shen Qingqian organized the words in her heart, and when she spoke again, Shengze felt a sudden enlightenment.
"If this is the case, then I suggest that we can use bundled sales to sell some crop seeds in the planting base and weapons that have been eliminated by the Northern Hubei Army to other forces..."
Isn’t this what beautiful modern countries do? They sell the things they eliminate to other countries at high prices, provoking wars in other countries, and then they make profits from it.
Although it is a bit unreasonable, but now they want to use a small place like Northern Hubei to leverage the big cake of Dajin, so naturally they have to use some extraordinary means.
As soon as Shen Qingqian finished speaking, Shengze hugged her in his arms, and then he kissed her hard on the face.
"Qianqian, you are really my lucky star!" Shengze was a little excited, although he couldn't tell it on his face, "It just so happens that the Northern Hubei Army is going to change weapons this month. Mr. Qin feels sorry for those things that can no longer be used so soon. Shen My eldest brother also thinks it’s a waste, and now that you have given a solution, they will definitely be very happy when they find out.”
Mr. Qin and Shen Xiao worked together to develop a new weapon. It is a combination of cold weapons and hot weapons. The manufacturing process is not particularly complicated. It is more suitable for mass production than the previous one. Manufacturing started half a month ago. Yesterday he got The news is that 10,000 sets have been made.
At this rate, it will not be long before the entire 100,000-strong Northern Hubei Army is equipped.
Now that Shen Qingqian has come up with a solution to the old weapons, Mr. Qin and the others will no longer have to worry.
Shen Qingqian was a little confused by his sudden move. After regaining consciousness, she couldn't help but said with a smile: "You are just in the game, otherwise how could you not think of such a simple method?"
As long as they can always have higher-end equipment than the weapons they sell, they are not afraid that others will counterattack.
Historically, it was extremely rare for China to fight back like this. In the final analysis, it all depends on the vision and structure of the people in power. As long as the top people don't make mistakes, the people below will be fine no matter what.
At this moment, Xu Yang's calm voice came from outside, "Master, the imperial edict has arrived."
Shen Qingqian and Shengze looked at each other, is this coming?
