Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"Dong Zhuo's orders are still very large, and he has 50,000 shells, and in addition, there are 300 cannons. That's enough for him to sustain a larger battle. Shang Wu looked at the list submitted by Jia Xu and said.

"I can only say that Dong Zhuo may have gone towards such a purpose from the beginning. For something like that, he's happy to do something like that. Jia Xu said. The IRA also has 20,000 new flintlock firearms in its arsenal, which the IRA sold to Action at a discounted price, and they also need nearly 150,000 rounds of ammunition, which is only the first batch, and the second batch may exceed 200,000 rounds. How much profit is earned in the middle. Jia Xu didn't know, but these ammunition were enough for Dong Zhuo to fight a larger battle.

The amount of ammunition determines Dong Zhuo's ambition, which is his personal ambition.

"If they can produce it themselves, it's a lot of money?" Shang Wu said.

"Yes, it is said that the intention of the second batch is like this, the first batch just gave us a benefit, and we will cooperate with them in the production of the second batch of ammunition, Dong Zhuo has offered a lot of preferential conditions, and it seems unlikely that we will refuse such a condition." Jia Xu said.

Dong Zhuo knew very well that if he kept handing over the production of ammunition to the Republican Army, he would be very passive.

Guanzhong also established a corresponding ammunition workshop, but their productivity was far from meeting Dong Zhuo's needs, and his size could barely support a team of 3,000 people in a battle. Ammunition outnumbered more people, and a greater threat war was waged, and the production of ammunition had to be increased.

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo hopes that through the cooperation of the Republican Army, a new production line can be quickly established. Or rather, boosting such a production line solves the problem of ammunition. For the IRA, this meant the evolution of a way in which the export of goods was transformed into the export of capital.

The IRA only needs to invest capital and control some local factories, or build some factories of its own. They can solve such problems with some of their own circumstances, and it is obvious that such things are extremely cost-effective and accomplished.

"Agreeing to do so, although it may pose some threat to us, we note. Helping Dong Zhuo can help us expand the market on a larger scale. This is a great benefit for us, and we need it very much. Otherwise, many things will be very bad for us. Shang Wu actually agreed to do this, which is a kind of capital export after all, which can help them solve more practical problems. This kind of thing is very important to them.

"Well, I agree with that. However, on the other hand, I am worried about the consumption of materials. Jia Xu said and handed another list to Shang Wu.

"Food." Shang Wu took the list and didn't look at it yet.

"Yes, Dong Zhuo's order is crazy, it is estimated that we have to make more than 100,000 combat material rations, and this is only the first batch. On top of that, orders for canned meat are very large. I am afraid that such an order will push up the price of our grain. This is very bad for the people. Summer wheat is coming down. Basically, there is a surplus, if we only make such a batch of military rations for Dong Zhuo, how will we attack, the grain in Guanzhong will not be provided to us, and the agricultural production there is not too optimistic. Jia Xu said. Compared with the previous situation, Jia Xu is more concerned about this point. Because the quality of food directly determines the size of the army. The Republican Army is constantly improving the combat effectiveness of its troops, and the size of his army has decreased considerably. But if a large-scale mobilization takes place, the food problem is still not very optimistic.

"Well, we need to address more food issues, and there are many sources of food. Wheat is just one of them. Can we put some meat processing plants in the north, or some places close to the northern border, which import a lot of all kinds of meat? Canned food, or exported to the mainland, after all, we need more meat. Improving the structure of food is also one of the most important aspects of our work. ”

Shang Wu said.

"Well, that's right, I agree. This requires the cooperation of Hexi and the state, and in addition, there are more tax incentives, after all, without these, it is still difficult to do such a thing. Jia Xu suggested. These meat factories will change a lot in the future.

The Republican Army's supplies are doing well, but the proportion of meat among soldiers is still not too high during the war. In contrast, it was much higher than the imperial army, but the structure basically did not change much. This consumes more cereals than meat. The IRA needs more meat to do that.

The IRA has passed for some time. This level of improvement has been underway. But the effect is not too great. After all, meat is in great demand, but it is not easy to change.

"It is true that we cannot always use the means of war to suppress the nomadic tribes of the north, in that case, the means will lead to higher costs, and if necessary, it is extremely advantageous to channel." Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. In addition to that, there are sweaters. If we are fighting in winter, we need fabrics such as sweaters and felt, which can solve a large part of our problems. Jia Xu said. Shang Wu nodded in agreement. Indeed, these are the things they need most. Without that, it would cause them a lot of trouble, and they definitely don't want to see such trouble.

Yanmen Pass. There are herds of cattle and sheep here. On the contrary, it becomes a great burden.

"You people from Yanmen. It's really good to be able to eat meat every day, or mutton. A young man from Hedong said excitedly. He's out on the go. Making money is secondary, and increasing your knowledge is what you should want most.

"Well, there's no way to do it. You Hedong people, you want skins. This sheep can't be killed if you don't kill it. It's too hard to keep these sheep up. Lao Chen said very honestly. He was in his early twenties, but he looked like a forty-year-old farmer. This is all the result of long-term exposure to the wind and sun.

"Why is that?" The young man from Hedong asked as he gulped down mutton. This stuff can't be eaten in Hedong.

"This is the border pass, and the nomadic tribes from the north are mostly cattle and sheep. The cattle are okay to talk about, they can be transported to the south, and the cattle are good-looking, but these sheep are not good. The quantity is large, no one can afford it, and the price is not easy to sell. If it's cheap, it's not cost-effective, and if it's expensive, it can't be sold. You don't usually eat much of this meat, let alone ordinary people. But you Hedong need leather for boots, you can't do it here. I can only make skins, and the skins are easy to make. But the problem is, cattle and sheep must be killed. As soon as the cattle and sheep were killed, the meat was not long enough. So, the usual stuff. The other party said.

"Oh. It's a pity. "After the Hedong guy ate a bite of meat. That said.

He felt that this was a big business opportunity, this meat was very cheap, processed and made into canned food, this thing, he had seen it when he was in Anyi, and if it was made, he could make a lot of money. He felt that he would soon find a way to make a fortune.

"Of course. Some people have made it jerky. But that thing, without a good mouth, you can't eat such a thing at all, it's too difficult. The man continued.

Canned food is the new food preservation technology, as well as biscuits, which greatly extend the storage time of food, and can alleviate the various adverse effects of hunger, in short, it is a very advantageous thing.

But it is a pity that the newly expanded areas in the north have not promoted such technology on a large scale, because some traditional ideas have limited the views of these people, which directly leads to the current unfavorable situation, and if this situation continues to operate, they will not get such a favorable situation. That's not a good thing for them.

Therefore, if you want to accomplish such things, you need more conditions to accomplish them, technology, capital, and opportunities. All conditions are indispensable.

Jingshi, Luoyang.

"It's finally out. It's finally out. Firefox patted his chest and said with some excitement.

Although she hadn't left the capital of Luoyang yet, she knew that she could finally leave this place of right and wrong.

The IRA lost an important source of palace intelligence. This made the intelligence services very unhappy, and in compensation, they would have Firefox placed in their intelligence analysis department. But it is clear that an analyst cannot compensate for their losses. It's a pity that this is an order.

The carriage moved slowly, and they needed to stay in Luoyang for a while before they could leave the city. This is the need to confuse the other person. None of this is something for Firefox to worry about.

"It's May now. I don't know if what was supposed to be postponed in history will be brought forward. Firefox said worriedly.

The contradiction between the eunuch group and the foreign relatives group has become irreconcilable, although the Empress Dowager He continues to reconcile, but this contradiction cannot be reconciled at all, and there must be one between the two. However, the historical outcome was very unexpected, and neither side achieved the desired result, but gave the local warlords a chance. Dong Zhuo is already on the way. The arrival of this evil star will bring great disasters to the city of Luoyang.

Firefox buried a lot of things brought from the palace before, there was no way, there were too many good things in the palace. If it is not well preserved, the future loss will be too great. Firefox believes that she is protecting cultural relics and avoiding the destruction of war, which is due to history.
