Chapter 218: Desperate Lack of Money
Chang Xun ignored Yuan Fang and looked at Yang Xing with anticipation, Yang Xing scratched his head: "You can discuss this with them, by the way, do you think they can do it?" Don't be detained on the road, it's miserable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Chang Xun nodded and said, "Nacheng, I'll ask later, they all have their own means, and they should be able to have a way." β
Chang Xun went out, Yuan Fang and Yang Xing discussed the matter of the military factory, Sang Rou and Jieyue also came over to join in the fun, Ouyang Xianxue, Huo Bingyan and Yu Jingqiu were guarding outside, chattering about the new military uniform, and there was a lot of warblers in and out of the hall.
After dinner, Chen Xin and Lei Hua came, first reported the movements of those businessmen, and as Yuan Fang expected, those businessmen showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the affairs of the military factory, especially the leader, who dominated the entire discussion process.
Wu Lun's attitude is very clear, the power supports Yang Xing, because the chamber of commerce industry is mostly related to the military industry, he decided to invest in most of the industry, and other businessmen are not lagging behind, and they have said that Yuan Fang will divide the workshops and craftsmen under his name into the name of the military factory, of course, these are converted according to the cost price, they know that once Yang Xing inherits the throne and ascends the throne, they will get more rewards for their efforts, fame and fortune.
Wu Lun is rigorous in his work, especially the first time he is more cautious in doing things for Yang Xing, before dinner, after statistics and calculations, the workshops and raw materials they put together add up, the productivity is not very ideal, the rest is good to say, the production of weapons and armor can recruit more craftsmen, the big deal is to spend more silver, but the matter of war horses is difficult to do, two of them are herdsmen from Beizhou, mainly selling horses, cattle and sheep, they have some horses in their hands, but the number is far less than 20,000, and, They had not been exposed to the training of military horses before, and they did not know how to start, which was a difficult problem.
Yang Xing felt that it was a bit unkind to let those businessmen solve so many things, and he also wanted to make a contribution, so he asked, "Do you have any solutions?" β
Chen Xin shook his head: "I know a few friends from the ranch, but they are official herdsmen, and they raise official horses, and there are not many of them, even if they are willing to help, they can't solve the problem." β
Yuan Fang raised his eyebrows: "Official pastor? What does it mean? β
Chen Xin knew that Yuan Fang and Yang Xing were both two hundred and five, and patiently explained: "The pasture is divided into official herding and military herding, as the name suggests, the official herd is to raise official horses, and the military herd is to raise military horses. β
Yuan Fang was puzzled and asked, "Is there any difference?" Aren't they all horses? β
Lei Hua pouted and said: "Doctor Yuan, you don't understand this, the official horse is a means of transportation, take the initiative to avoid danger, the military horse is different, as long as you get the order, no matter what is in front of you, you have to figure it out, you have to figure out the two kinds of horses, otherwise if you let the cavalry charge on the official horse, all stop before the enemy is near, then what kind of cavalry is it." β
Yuan Fang thought about the scene Lei Hua said, it was really like that, if the cavalry rushed to the front of the enemy and the horses kept calling and stagnating, then it was not cavalry, it was a fast mobile infantry riding over.
Yang Xing's weak proposal: "Why don't we buy it?" β
Yuan Fang looked at Chen Xin: "Can you buy it?" β
Chen Xin shook his head: "The military herdsmen belong to the empire, and the war horses raised also belong to the state, who dares to sell them secretly, especially so much, besides, even if we can buy them, we don't have so much money." β
Lei Hua added: "That is, I heard that a military horse costs more than ten or twenty taels of silver, ten thousand horses are more than one hundred thousand, and twenty thousand horses are three or four hundred thousand taels of silver. β
Yang Xing and Yuan Fang said in unison: "Damn, it's so expensive." β
Chen Xin smiled faintly: "Your Highness, when you spend money, you are still behind, military horses, equipment, consumption is not large, military salary is the most silver-consuming, Your Highness set up a pro-guard army, military salary per person per month is calculated at 500 Wen, a month will need 10,000 taels of silver, this is not counting the loss of horse feed and equipment, if you count it all, people eat horses and chew in a month, record the casualties or something, there is no two or three hundred thousand a year, don't even think about it." β
Yuan Fang and Yang Xing looked at each other, they had never thought about grabbing people and land before.
Yuan Fang scratched his head vigorously: "Do you want to release the guards in advance?" Let's continue to eat the military salary of the empire? β
Chen Xin gloated a little and said: "How is it possible, those female soldiers were transferred by His Royal Highness, do you think, can the people in the imperial capital still pay them?" It's good not to treat them as deserters, and there is no hope for military salaries. β
Yang Xing asked anxiously: "What about the others, such as Chang Xun's Tiger Roar Legion, as well as the Rock Legion and the Dongzhou Army?" Won't we have to figure out how to pay their military salaries? β
Chen Xin shook his head: "This is not going to happen, no matter what they say, they are also forming troops, and they are sticking to the front line in Dongzhou, especially the Dongzhou army, and they are still counting on them to work hard, if they don't do it, it will be difficult for Dongzhou to hold it." β
Yuan Fang pondered for a long time, sighed and said, "If it really doesn't work, don't want horses first, and the pro-guard army will be changed to infantry." β
Chen Xin reminded: "Your Highness has already spoken, if the order is changed, it will disappoint many people, and it will also have a great impact on Your Highness's reputation." β
Yuan Fang was anxious: "I said it at the time, but he didn't say it, I carried anything bad." β
Chen Xin shrugged: "We know this is your idea, but do others know?" In the end, doesn't it have to be blamed on His Highness? β
Yuan Fang squinted at Chen Xin: "Why do I think you seem to be here to find fault?" β
Chen Xin shrugged: "What I said is the truth. β
Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, and was speechless for a while. Yang Xing saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he played a round and said: "This matter is a bit difficult to do, so let's discuss it tomorrow." β
Chen Xin and Lei Hua got up and retired, the identities of the two of them were more embarrassing, the state army was sent back to various places, and there were only a few hundred people left, and one of them was a partial general and a subordinate general is now similar to the commander of the light pole.
Yuan Fang looked at Chen Xin's back thoughtfully, just now Chen Xin has been targeting himself in a weird way, Yuan Fang thought about it, he didn't seem to provoke this goods, but what Chen Xin said was the truth, and he had to think about how to solve the problem of silver.
Yuan Fang and Yang Xing thought about it for a long time, scratching their hearts and livers, thinking that their hair was about to turn white, but there was still no good way to get silver and let Yang Xing sell words? I used to think that Yang Xing's words were quite valuable, but when I compared it with that huge gap, I found that that that money was nothing. Let those businessmen out? It's too much, and there will be more in the future, and those guys can't afford to make money even if they start making money in their mother's womb.
