Chapter 631： Sell armaments
The grain import subsidy program issued by Dahua was immediately supported by the Chamber of Commerce.
A single businessman may only consider personal interests, but some large chambers of commerce will consider it from a strategic level.
They also realized that by importing more food, more labor can be liberated.
In this way, there will be more workers, and their labor costs can be reduced.
Many factories and businessmen are still lacking workers.
It is rare that the court issued a decree to take care of their merchant class, and they are also actively promoting it.
They began to arrange manpower to go to Annan, Siam (Thailand) and India, which are the most important places for grain production.
Places like Siam Annan belong to tropical regions, and the food is cooked three times a year.
As for India, the vast Ganges Plain is the Tianfu Plain that the whole world is jealous of.
The goods that Dahua brought were mainly weapons, supplemented by other porcelain and cloth.
At this time, Annan is experiencing the Ruan-Zheng War, so the demand for weapons is far greater than other luxury goods.
The north of Annan is controlled by the Zheng family, while the south is controlled by the Ruan family. Both sides want to destroy each other and unify Annan.
This battle has been fought for almost 20 years. If there is no external interference, according to the original historical process, they will have to fight for more than a hundred years.
This Dahua businessman didn't care about why Ruan and Zheng had a grievance. They only cared about their interests.
The fleet carrying a large number of weapons arrived in Haiphong City. The ordinary merchants carried steel knives and armor, while the official carried 3,000 flintlocks.
Whether it is steel knives or armor, they are very popular in Annan because steel knives are durable.
Annan’s humidity is heavy, and there is a lot of water vapor in the air. Iron products are very easy to rust.
An ordinary iron knife can no longer be used due to rust within a few months.
The steel knives, which are not easy to rust, naturally became the favorite of Annan's army.
What is more popular is the armor with outstanding protection ability.
In the era of cold weapons, an army without armor encounters an army equipped with armor, and basically can only escape by speed.
If you have to fight hard, you will often die very miserably.
Because one side only needs to guard against a few parts of the neck and face, while the other side has weaknesses all over his body.
However, armor is also useful in the cold weapon era.
When encountering a gun, everything in the armor is clouded.
Although the accuracy of the flintlock is poor, the power of this thing is really great.
Shooting at the armor within fifty meters can penetrate 2.5mm armor. If it is within 30 meters, the armor of three millimeters can't stop the impact of the musket.
The thickness of the armor during this period was basically between 1.2 and 2.6 millimeters, and rarely reached three millimeters.
More than three millimeters, the weight of a set of armor is at least more than fifty catties.
Putting on this kind of armor, soldiers don't even say it's fighting, even ordinary marching can't do it.
When encountering such an army, you can keep a distance from the opponent, and then wantonly molested until the opponent is exhausted.
"Who owns this batch, we requisitioned it."
As soon as the cargo on the ship was unloaded, Zheng's army came over and tried to take the arrogantly.
As for spending money to buy, this is too difficult for them.
During the war, whether it was the army or the civilians, the court collectively lacked money, as if all of the wealth disappeared all at once.
This is mainly because people dare not spend too much money in troubled times, and business is not so prosperous.
"It's my Dahua, you can get money or food in exchange if you want."
Zhou Kang, the owner of this batch of weapons, said with disdain, the Dahua behind him was his confidence. It is not the first time that he has come to Nanyang to do business. No one has dared to deal with Dahua merchants.
"According to the latest regulations, you are prohibited goods and I have the right to confiscate them."
Said the leading officer.
"Try it. If you dare to accept my cargo today, Dahua's warship will be able to drive here tomorrow."
Zhou Kangnian didn't mean to be afraid at all, and it was naturally not a good thing to dare to do arms business.
Even, most arms dealers are in a strong position when buying and selling.
Because the people who buy their weapons are generally weaker countries.
Seeing that Zhou Kang was so arrogant, the man hated Zhou Kang and stabbed Zhou Kang to death with a single knife, but he didn't dare.
If a diplomatic incident was really made and Dahua's warship was drawn over, he could not bear the consequences.
At this moment, a higher-ranking officer came to round the field.
"what happened?"
Li Yuansheng asked.
The subordinate jiligulu talked a lot, and Li Yuansheng said to Zhou Kanglian: "We're asking for your batch of goods. Let's make a price."
"The price is easy to negotiate. In the south, the steel knife is four taels of silver, and the armor is twenty taels. General, if you are willing to establish a long-term trade relationship with us, I can give you a 10% discount."
Zhou Kangnian proposed to mention the Nguyen dynasty in the south, meaning that if you find it too expensive, I will sell it to the south.
If Zhou Kangnian really dared to reload these weapons to the south, then Li Yuansheng would probably stop them desperately.
In the north, they will never allow these weapons to fall into the hands of Nguyen Thi in the south.
"Yes, give us the goods first, and we will pay the money after a while."
Li Yuansheng said.
However, Zhou Kang shook his head and said that he would pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and he would not owe any credit.
"Don't toast or drink fine wine, believe it or not, even if we **** your equipment, you Dahua can't help us. Don't think we haven't fought the Central Plains, we are not afraid."
The general threatened again.
What he said is also the truth. When Annan left the Ming Dynasty, he resisted the attack of Ming Dynasty, which proved that their broken terrain is difficult to invade.
Yes, they can win, all relying on terrain.
Compared with real combat power, they couldn't even beat Daming.
To fight against the current Dahua, is simply a dream.
But now that Dahua wants to beat them, there is no need to go over the mountains and ridges, go directly by water, and land the soldiers when they encounter coastal defense.
At that time, they will be safe to defend.
"Speaking of these ruthless words has no effect. I have time to raise money or raise food. I will stay here for three or four days at most. If I can't find a strong buyer, then I can only choose to leave."
Zhou Kangnian reminded that he was not interested in spending time with the other party.
His words made the people on Annan's side very upset, but Li Yuansheng was pressed, and no one dared to mess around.
"Then please rest in Haiphong for a few more days, and I will find a way to raise money."
Li Yuansheng is also helpless, he needs to take the country into consideration, otherwise he can really grab it.
And now, he can only think of other ways.
