Chapter 705 Delaying Your Own Development? ?
"My lord, there is something I don't understand...!"
"With so much money, why not use it to develop the economy of the country, but to help those poor and small countries to develop. Isn't this delaying the development of the country?"
"In this way, if other countries develop, will it pose a greater threat to Hanzhong?"
"After all, no matter which country it is, there has never been a precedent for helping other countries develop. With this kind of funds, the living standards of the citizens can be improved a lot."
"My lord, is this putting the cart before the horse...?"
In the past few days, the signing of agreements between Hanzhong Jiang Chen and other small countries has also been known to all the ministers in Hanzhong, and some people expressed joy.
What is gratifying is that the territory of Hanzhong has expanded several times invisibly, and it has mastered the territory of countless small countries at once, and it does not cost a single soldier.
They thought that Jiang Chen was resourceful, and he could make the small country surrender with his own deterrence, and make the people of Hanzhong raise their heads higher than usual.
They had a sense of honor in their hearts, which was brought to them by Jiang Chen. . . . . .
As they have more and more sense of belonging to Hanzhong, the people of Hanzhong have a stronger sense of attachment to Hanzhong than before.They are proud of their country.
This has rarely happened in the past. Only great emperors like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can give the people such a sense of honor.
But now, Jiang Chen, who has not yet unified the Central Plains, already possesses such power.
However, some ministers were puzzled by this. On this day, Pang De Company and Sima Wei came together, obviously wanting to ask about this matter.
It is also possible that they wanted to prevent Jiang Chen from making such a move. After all, there is only so much tax revenue in Hanzhong, if it is used to support other countries.
That will inevitably stagnate the development of the people in Hanzhong. No one is willing to do such a thankless thing.
But Jiang Chen did this, Pang De Company and Sima Wei felt that Jiang Chen might have his own reasons, so they wanted to collude with Jiang Chen.
In order to avoid any misunderstanding, let me explain first, if Jiang Chen's explanation satisfies them, they will naturally support Jiang Chen's decision.
After all, Sima Wei, as Jiang Chen's "personal mirror", of course has the responsibility to correct Jiang Chen's inappropriate behavior.
"You guys are here, sit down...!"
"I expected that you would come to me, sit down and listen to me slowly!"
Facing Sima Wei and the others' sudden attack, Jiang Chen seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and made a gesture of asking them to sit down with a smile on his face, without any anxiety in his eyes.
"Thank you my lord!"
"My lord, please clear up your doubts for the ministers!"
After Sima Wei and Mr. Pound sat down, Sima Wei spoke.
"This matter is actually very easy to understand!"
"If Hanzhong wants to develop, it may not be enough to rely on Hanzhong's resources alone...!"
"The reason why I want to cooperate with them is because they have many resources that we need in Hanzhong, such as iron ore, silver mine, gold mine, and oil fields."
Jiang Chen explained, and then continued:
"My purpose is very simple. I want to obtain all kinds of resources from their country at a low price and use them to develop the infrastructure in Hanzhong!"
"Just like the previous planting plans with various territories, they all have the same principle!"
"As long as the good resources of their country can be obtained, not only will the development of Hanzhong not be delayed, but even the economy of Hanzhong will be able to take off!"
"Therefore, you don't have to worry at all!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"What the lord said seems to make sense!"
"However, those small countries are far away from our Central Plains. Even if there are resources, it will not be so convenient to transport!"
"And the speed of the carriage is very slow. Under such circumstances, is there some."
Sima Wei raised his doubts.
"What Mr. De Cao said is true!"
"Moreover, many small countries in the Middle East have barren land and are located in desert areas. There is nothing but sand!"
"My lord, what is the benefit of cooperating with them?"
Mr. Pound next to him nodded and asked a little puzzled.
They all thought about a lot of problems before they felt that this matter was impossible, so they came here to look for Jiang Chen.
"Of course it is beneficial. Have you forgotten the black oil fields there?"
"That is of great benefit, and it is one of the most important war resources in the future. If we buy it at a low price now, it will definitely make us a lot of money in the future!"
Jiang Chen said confidently.
"What's the use of the black oil field?"
"Is it more important than food?"
Company Pound and Sima Wei looked at each other, and looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously.
They couldn't figure out why this kind of thing was so important. They had seen it before. After all, there were oil fields in China, and they hadn't been destroyed yet.
That kind of ghost thing, everyone would despise it extremely, who would care about that kind of thing?
And Jiang Chen said that they had a very important function, which made them extremely puzzled, they really couldn't figure out what else this thing could be used for.
"Of course it works, it's the most important fuel for the future!"
"Have you seen my iron bumps?"
"If they want to drive, they must use that fuel!"
"However, it cannot be used directly, and it needs to be filtered and purified. As long as those oil fields are bought, we will be able to stand invincible in the next few hundred years!"
"In the future, the carriages will eventually be replaced by those iron carriages!"
"They are fast. As long as the road is repaired, they can get there quickly, transport resources back, and support the development of Hanzhong!"
"Therefore, it is a lucrative business for Hanzhong!"
"How many people think that this business can't be done?"
Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Is this really a fuel?"
"That black sticky thing, can it really be made into fuel to drive iron cars?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Duke Pang De said tremblingly.
They also did not expect that this kind of thing that everyone in black dislikes would be such an important resource, and it would definitely be a resource for future wars.
If you can master it, wouldn't you control everything? ?
What price you want to sell in the future is up to you?
Thinking of this, several ministers also trembled. They felt that if it is really what Jiang Chen said, it is definitely not a century-old plan, but it must be a thousand-year plan.
"Yeah, it's really unbelievable!"
