Chapter 970

The gathering of the army made the discerning businessmen see huge business opportunities.

In several large camps with 10 people, all the officers and non-commissioned officers are high-income groups, and the recruits are about to become high-income groups. These people have very strong spending power.

The new army's barracks were soon filled with small merchants from all over the world, and even merchants from afar.

Sellers of fruit, snacks, clothes, steamed stuffed buns, steamed buns, stewed noodles, small merchants gather around.

When Yuzhu was shopping, he was surprised to find that the owner of Jiyuan also came to join in the fun.

In this day and age, there is no such thing as AIDS, but syphilis is rampant.

Syphilis, introduced to Europe from the Americas, once caused more than 1000 million deaths in Europe.Therefore, syphilis is also known as "the revenge of the American continent".

In the Qing Dynasty, syphilis was also called "Guangdong sore", implying that it was mainly spread in Guangdong.

In the absence of penicillin, syphilis is an incurable disease, and the mortality rate is astonishingly high.

Although Yu Zhongtang is lustful, he never touches Ji Nu. The root problem is that he is worried about contracting syphilis.

Yuzhu immediately ordered to seal up Ji Yuan and arrest people.

However, Jiyuan can be sealed up, but the physiological needs of officers and soldiers need to be addressed in an appropriate way.

After Yuzhu returned to the headquarters, he immediately started to do a major event, that is, the military wife joined the army.

Hearing that you can bring your wife to join the army, Lu Wu blinked and said, "Shan Zhang, if anyone above the platoon leader is a cooker, they can join the army. That means thousands of women and tens of thousands of children."

The truth is obvious, the [-] old and new troops are at least platoon leaders.If their family members all followed the army, their sons and daughters would definitely follow.

For such a large group, basic necessities of life are no small matter.

As for rice, you have to take it bite by bite, take your time, don't be in a hurry.

Yu Zhu nodded and said, "Well, let's tentatively decide to be an officer at the battalion management level, and he can bring his family to accompany the army. During the implementation, if problems are found, how about solving them in a timely manner?"

Lu Wu thought about it silently, and said with a smile, "Success. But, what about the recruits?"

"What should I do? I can only bear it for the time being." Yuzhu thought for a while, and then said, "The energy of the recruits cannot be too strong, and we must find ways to consume it."

Lu Wu understood immediately, and immediately stated: "Two trainings a day, changed to three trainings a day, and there will be cultural classes in the evening. Make sure they finish the day, put their heads on the pillow, and then they can dream."

Alas, the conditions are limited, and this is the only way for the time being.

The problem of family members accompanying the army is a worldwide problem. In addition to the huge economic cost problem, there is also the problem of the capacity of the station
The Eight Banners soldiers stationed in various places mainly rely on the way of building a full city, so that the Eight Banners soldiers can smoothly complete the problem of their families accompanying the army.

In the future, when the army goes south, the policy of accompanying the army can be rolled out in an all-round way.

Because, married women in this era, except for a few, are basically full-time housewives.

That is to say, no matter where the husband goes, the wife can take the children with him.

Later generations will be different.

For example, if the wife is a civil servant or a serious career editor in a place, and her husband is serving in a place B, at this time, it is almost impossible for the wife to resign and join the army.

Isn't the iron rice bowl fragrant?

The gathering of armies and merchants led to an increase in population, which quickly brought about a series of bad results.

First of all, the prices of vegetables, fruits, and meat began to soar.

Secondly, the supply of vegetables is gradually not in a hurry.

Again, dirty water flowed across the river and it stinks.

Meat is fine, because the farmers in the rural area of ​​Tianjin Wei have a good habit of raising pigs.

Farmers are usually reluctant to eat meat. During the Chinese New Year, they slaughter pigs and sell the lean parts for money. After the fat parts are refined, the oil residue is sprinkled with salt and slowly fried.

However, vegetables are really running out of supply.

These days, there are no large trucks with hundreds of tons, and no green passages on the expressway. The vegetables eaten by the army can only be counted on the nearby vegetable farmers to push the wheelbarrows to deliver the vegetables.

However, there are many officers and soldiers in the barracks, more than [-] people eat, and the supply of vegetables must be astronomical.

Yuzhu immediately called for Zhang Yuan, the old logistics chief of the army, and the head of the supply chain of the new army headquarters.

Zhang Yuan sighed and said: "Shanchang, you also know that there are only a few kinds of vegetables that can last for storage, for example, pumpkin, onion, white radish, carrot, taro, short-legged greens and potatoes. However, these vegetables There is almost no local production in Dagukou, so we can only send ships to other places to purchase. But the problem is that the climate at sea is extremely humid, and these vegetables are piled up in the cabin without ventilation at all. Usually, at least [-]% of the vegetables will rot when they arrive on the shore. above."

From the beginning of the new army, Zhang Yuan followed Yuzhu in logistics.

Up to now, more than ten years have passed, and Zhang Yuan has long been an expert in logistics.

Therefore, Yuzhu believes that the objective difficulties Zhang Yuan said must be true.

After all, Yuzhu has seen the world and is much more knowledgeable than Zhang Yuan.

"Well, the people you send out to purchase can do this. The white radishes, peppers, etc. you bought can be directly added with salt to make pickles or pickles locally. In this way, ten boats Pickles, paired with two boats of fresh vegetables. Even if [-]% of the fresh vegetables are rotten, they can at least let the soldiers try something new, right?" When Yuzhu said this, he could only silently forget the probability of nitrite. in the back of the head.

In this day and age, who would be willing to throw away leftovers that cannot be eaten?As long as it is not broken, it must be eaten the next day.

In old Shanghai, there has always been a habit of soaking leftovers and leftovers in hot water until soft.

The root problem is that I am still poor and afraid, and I am reluctant to waste food.

Facing the current situation of lack of food and clothing, the problem of nitrite will definitely not be solved for a long time.

The top priority, the soldiers of the new army, must have vegetables to eat.

Otherwise, the training will be too hard, the supplements of various vitamins will not be replenished, and the food will not taste good, and sooner or later there will be resentment.

The management of the army is an extremely rigorous science. A slight mistake will affect the morale and morale of the army.

After Yuzhu finished giving orders, it was Zhang Yuan's turn to complain.

"Shan Zhang, don't you know that white radish, which used to cost three Wen a catty, has now risen to the level of eight Wen a catty. Also, the price of pork has also doubled and a half times, let alone Chinese cabbage. I said..." Zhang Yuan opened up the chatter box, nagging endlessly.

Yuzhu knew it well, and Zhang Yuan felt sorry for spending too much money.

That's right, with the same silver, you can only buy half of what it used to be, and it would hurt anyone to change it.

Because of Zhang Yuan's reminder, Yu Zhu thought of another fatal problem: too much money and local depreciation.

One hundred thousand troops are paid on the same day, and everyone has money in their pockets.

At this time, in the nearby market, or in the town, the circulation of silver is greater than the supply of materials, which will inevitably lead to a short-term depreciation process of the silver in the hands of soldiers.

In layman's terms, it is local inflation where silver is worthless!

After going back, Yuzhu sat down at the desk, thinking about revising the regulations.

For military pay, a small part is in cash, and most of it is changed into bank notes.

Please note that it is a silver ticket issued by the Universe Bank, not a military ticket issued by the New Army.

Historically, the military tickets issued by the army have no anchors, and they can be printed and spent casually, which is equivalent to blatant robbery.

It is different for the bank notes of the universe bank.

The total number of banknotes issued must correspond to the weight of the silver in stock.

From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, why did the value of paper money depreciate so much?
The root problem is that the imperial court is not trustworthy, and when it is short of money to spend, it opens up to print paper money.

In the pre-Ming period, Zhu Chongba's compulsory promotion of precious banknotes was actually sucking the blood of the people.By the Yongle period, the so-called Daming treasures had already been demoted to the point where Mom didn't even recognize them.

Yuzhu is well aware that the credit issue in the financial field is the core and the most critical issue.

If you want to use finance to absorb blood for a long time and maintain a good state of steady flow, the universe must be honest.

The iron law of honesty is: as many taels of silver as there are, we will issue a few taels of silver notes, and one tael cannot be printed more than one tael.

The British pound, on behalf of the British, has always been an international hard currency from the beginning of the British colonization of the world until the loss of world hegemony in World War II.

In the final analysis, even the previous British governments knew that once the credit of the pound collapsed, the UK would also be dying.

London has always been the top two financial trading centers, and the credit value of the pound is immeasurable!
What global capitalists value is the safe entry and exit of capital, and the protection of the rule of law once there is a problem with funds.

Credit is really more precious than gold!

Guanping silver can be cut into pieces of silver.However, the banknotes cannot be cut.

The soldiers took the bank notes and went to the merchants to spend, and the merchants must use cash for change.

Because they are worried that the banknotes will not be cashed in time, the merchants are not stupid, so they must go to the ticket number to cash out the cash as soon as possible.

Don't underestimate this cycle, as long as the merchant can exchange silver at any time, the silver ticket is equivalent to silver.

Hey, when the credit of banknotes is fully established, there is a basis for the issuance of banknotes.

The merchants of the Qing Dynasty did not understand the power of seigniorage, so how could Yuzhu not understand it?
Back then, when Yuzhu was preparing to build the Universe Bank, Kang Mazi and others didn't understand the mystery and mystery, and just watched Yuzhu make the Universe Bank bigger and stronger.

Hehe, if Kang Mazi found out that the ticket numbers blooming everywhere turned out to be blood-sucking ancestors, the coffin board might not be able to cover it, right?
If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

To fight a war is to fight logistics, and it is definitely not empty talk.

In modern warfare, due to the increasingly complex and diverse weapons and equipment, the logistical pressure is much greater than in ancient times!
The European countries at the same time were desperately building roads and trying every means to harden the road surface. The original purpose was to facilitate the transportation of various artillery.
