Chapter 456: Only Higher and Not Highest
One of the branches of the General Food Factory is the instant noodle factory.
Zhou Dahe, the director of the factory, is leading nearly 3,000 workers in the factory to make the newly developed instant noodles day and night.
This is the political task assigned by the sixth young master's letter. The delicate process of how to make instant noodles and two boxes of ready-made products were also delivered.
Zhou Dahe was the first person to read through the books and develop the first bowl of instant noodles by himself, and according to the reward mechanism, he became the first director of the instant noodle factory after passing the political examination and confirming that there was no problem with his family background.
I heard that whoever can be the first to develop instant noodles can be the factory director and become the leader of 3,000 people, but Zhou Dahe didn't believe it. But when he really did it and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, he was extremely excited at this moment, and at the same time, his admiration for the sixth young master was like a surging river.
I don't know when it started, there is a legend in the Red Embedded City, saying that the sixth young master is a god descended from the heavens, and was sent by the gods to save the toiling masses and change the world. Otherwise, why could the Sixth Young Master always come up with all kinds of new things that they had never heard of before, and they couldn't even think of?
The ancients were originally very superstitious, mostly without culture, and were most easily used by people with intentions, and Yang Chendong did get a lot of good things that are said to be unthinkable to smart people, just like all kinds of advanced guns guarding Xiaoliuqiu Island. After these facts, there were more and more believers in this kind of legend, so much so that the high-level officials of the Yang family who first released these rumors recognized this statement.
Instant noodles are based on such legends. Of course, this is also the credit of Okura, when the bags of instant noodles were opened, put in hot water and eaten by everyone, everyone was full of praise and admiration. At that moment, the high-level decided to immediately rush to produce these things, which can not only replace food to solve people's stomach food and clothing, but also put it into the army, and it is also an excellent military material, which will play a vital role in solving the problem of soldiers' rations.
With the help of some books that Yang Chendong found in Okura, the methods of making instant noodles were soon listed in detail, and then there were more complex manufacturing machines. Once a batch of machines is available, it will greatly speed up the emergence of finished instant noodles. And these jobs were thrown to the blacksmiths of the arsenal.
After nearly half a year of various tests, the first batch of machines finally left the factory and were distributed to the instant noodle factory, Zhou Dahe and his more than 3,000 employees were excited to shed tears, they knew that their opportunity to perform had come.
The wheat, oil and other materials that had been prepared were taken out, and with the machine assembly line, the first batch of homemade instant noodles was finally completed.
Although the manufacture of this batch of instant noodles is very tortuous because of this and that problem, and the machine will be forced to stop from time to time, as long as the first step is taken, I believe that it will not be long before a more suitable second set of assembly lines will appear, and then the third and fourth sets... Eventually, instant noodles will become widespread and become an important part of the general food factory.
......
The changes in the Red Embedded City, every few days, the latest news will be sent to Yang Chendong. If a deviation from the orbit is detected, it will be corrected immediately, and then the information will be transmitted to Xiaoliuqiu Island at a very fast speed.
After two years of development, the Security Bureau has long been different. Their tentacles have already involved all places, even many countries, and the monthly funding alone has expanded to as much as 3 million taels.
With so much money spent, even if such a huge organization is handed over to Nanming or Beiming, they will be financially unable to bear it at first, which is why the Security Bureau has actually surpassed Jinyiwei and Dongchang in many aspects.
Of course, three million taels a month seems like a lot, but when you know that the number of internal and external personnel of the Security Bureau combined has reached 50,000, you are not so surprised. In other words, when it comes to individuals, it's only tens of thousands of taels of silver a month. You must know that in order to find out useful information, these people spend absolutely hugely, often just a casual little information, if you want to get him first, I am afraid that I don't know how much money will be spent in the early stage, and how much time will it take.
In this regard, Yang Chendong has no intention of reducing the amount at all, and even in his eyes, the development of the Security Bureau is not strong enough, his goal is the whole world, and this has just touched Asia and a small part of Europe, and this result naturally cannot satisfy him.
It is also conceivable that once one day, when you really go out, the Security Bureau will definitely be the group of people who will always be in the front, and when you arrive in a new country and a new environment, the cost will really be huge at that time.
Fortunately, there are various new factories in the Red Embedded City, and every day there will be ships from the shore to send out the novel goods, and a huge amount of silver taels are also sent back to the island every day, which is where Yang Chendong's confidence lies in daring to invest heavy money.
This is the advantage of monopoly, when the things in the Red City become unique, when the goods they produce are in short supply, the pricing power is completely in their own hands. According to Yang Chendong's instructions, people of foreign tribes do not earn money in vain, only higher, not the highest.
It is precisely with such instructions that there are a number of powerful people in the upper echelons of various countries, so that high-end products have been continuously taken out and consumed, without worrying about the time when they cannot be sold.
Developed communication has developed advantages, and resting on its laurels also has its advantages. Just like now, because the communication of various countries is too difficult, the Red City has naturally risen, and it has been developing almost in a few days, and many drawbacks have also been revealed, the most important point is that the population is too small.
The territory of Xiaoliuqiu Island is quite sufficient, at least now there is only a population of less than one million, which is still a lot of people who have recently been robbed to send to the island, even so, compared with the population of Taiwan in later generations is more than 20 million, now it is not even one-twentieth, you can imagine how big and rich it is.
Because of this, there is a large amount of land that needs to be developed and valued. Although there is still the First Shang Dynasty in the north and has not been completely wiped out, most of the territory on the island has been owned by the Yang family, which makes their population shortage too large.
During this period of time, in the process of dealing with the Yellow Bandit Army, whether it was a prisoner or some people of the Ming Dynasty, they had moved a lot, but it was only a hundred thousand people when they were full, and the gap was still too big and too big compared to the gap.
The Ming Dynasty was still at its peak, at least the people were not completely disappointed in them, and in such a situation, it was obviously unrealistic to want them to leave their homeland and go to the island. Under the general trend, you can't force others to do this, otherwise, once Nan Ming discovers his intentions, who knows what the consequences will be?
After thinking about it, in order to solve the population problem on Xiaoliuqiu Island, Yang Chendong set his sights on the alien race.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
History has proven him right to some extent. But if it's just a use, it's nothing, if they are obedient and reformed, and accept the influence of Han culture, it won't be hopeless, on the contrary, if you don't want to give face, then Yang Chendong also minds making more slaves less, and some dirty work is just right to be done, isn't it beautiful.
With such thoughts, Yang Chendong's first goal naturally fell on the body of Jiaozhi Kingdom, this repeated villain, once Hermes-Epitek is strong, they will be people with their tails between their legs, once Hermes-Epitek becomes weak, they are like poisonous snakes in the dark, come up and bite it, it is really annoying.
It has long been said that Yang Chendong's strategy for foreign races is to fight directly, fight the crippled and abolished, and then disrupt it again after destroying the country. This may seem cruel, let alone humanitarian, but in the long run, why not be a solution?
Labor pains can be exchanged for long-term peace and stability, no matter how you look at it, it is also cost-effective. As for why others didn't do it at this point, maybe it's just that everyone doesn't have the ability to do it, or maybe the time has passed too long, and there will be too many immutables. But all of this is nothing in Yang Chendong's eyes, he has a big warehouse, and everything is enough.
Kuang Ye's secret fold has been sent to Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.
For the compromise written, Jiaozhi sent a killer, Yang Chendong's wife was attacked, and then Zhongdang Gong reached an agreement with King Min to send troops to deal with the Jiaozhi army, Zhu Qizhen was naturally full of praise.
In any case, Zhu Qizhen was also the monarch of the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, the war with King Min is just his own business, even if the Miao people are involved, it is nothing, after all, the Miao people and the Han people have been integrated for many years, and they are also a member of the Ming Dynasty, but what are you Jiaozhi? What's it like to be a part of this?
I have always been dissatisfied in my heart, but there is really no way, now that it is okay, Yang Chendong took the initiative to stand up and deal with them, and the only thing he had out of was those unusable ships and some iron and iron in Sujiang Mansion, no matter how you look at it, it is worth it.
After all, if there is no Yang Chendong to make a move, who knows if Songjiang will be able to hold it in the future, and the things placed there are likely to become the trophies of the Minwang family.
