I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 260, How to bring together the best talents

At this time, Zhen An comforted the crowd and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Now the army of Commander Lei Gongqu has defeated Huangfu Song steadily, and has now reached Changping County. This war will soon end, and Commander Lei Gongqu will surely Will win!"

Zhen An didn't even know what was going on in this world. He had a good relationship with Mr. Lei before, but he was a big man after all, and deep down he still hoped that the big man would completely put down the domestic rebellion.

But this time the warning order made Zhen An fully understand that although he considered himself a big man, the big men and other officials and lords thought so, and instead regarded them as fat pigs, and slaughtered those who were short of money.

Now he should be thankful that most of the family property has already opened a textile factory. This time, Zhen An only lost some of the goods in some shops and caravans in Dahan.

But unfortunately, because of the loss of his caravan, and now no one dares to do business in Dahan, this is equivalent to Zhen An losing the entire market of Dahan. Very fatal, it can be said that all the business routes of these businessmen were cut off by the big man at once!

Wei Chang said angrily: "I came to Bingzhou this time to find Lei Gong Qu Shuai to help me avenge me. As long as Lei Gong Qu Shuai can help me avenge me, I can donate all my family property!"

And the guard often looked at Zhen An and said, "I heard that senior is familiar with Shuai Lei Gongqu, can I ask senior to introduce you, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Wei Chang also opened a small textile factory here in Bingzhou. It has been developing well these years, because there are more and more rattan armored troops, and because of the explosion of the textile industry and other industries, the wealth of the entire Bingzhou is growing rapidly. The upper distribution is relatively equal, and the consumption power of the tens of millions of the Rattan Armor Army is higher than that of the entire Han Dynasty. It can be said that Bingzhou itself is a huge cloth consumer market.

As long as you have the capital to open a textile factory, you can basically pay back the capital in 3-4 years. At the beginning, Wei Chang also took all his savings over the years to Mayi to open a textile factory because he saw that the textile industry in Mayi was making money. As luck would have it, all his property in Dahan had been confiscated, but he still had a considerable fortune in Bingzhou.

But Zhen An didn't want to introduce him to Lei Gong, he was not familiar with Wei Chang, who knew what he said was true, Lei Gong was the commander of the Tengjia Army, if Wei Chang was an assassin, he would not have committed suicide by recommending him Not to mention that he has been able to make such a big business all these years, thanks to Lei Gong Qushuai, he doesn't want to introduce his thighs to other businessmen just because of this!
Zhen An immediately said: "Now that Commander Lei Gongqu is fighting in Youzhou, there is time to meet us little people! Besides, merchants like this old man have only met Mr. Lei Gongqu for a few times, so what qualifications do they have to recommend people to Mr. Lei Gongqu! "

Although Wei Chang is miserable, Zhen An doesn't want to ask for trouble, and now Wei Chang is a huge source of trouble in Zhen An's eyes!

Wei Chang heard Zhen An's refusal and expressed his understanding, so he didn't bother Zhen An anymore, but planned to think of other ways!

However, this time the high order has awakened the merchants in Bingzhou. They don’t want to be slaughtered like fat pigs like the rest of Dahan’s colleagues. The best way is to help the Tengjia Army defeat Dahan, or they, the merchants, will lose their last piece. Xanadu.

Zhen An said to everyone at this time: "If this war does not end, it will be a disaster for us businessmen, and if the big man wins, it will be a disaster among disasters for us. I think Lei Gongqu Shuai must be short of money and food now, how about We donated a sum of money and food to Lei Gong Qu Shuai, and let Qu Shuai see our contribution to the Fujia Army, so that we and the Fujia Army can be regarded as our own people, and Lei Gong Qu Shuai has always been the one who takes care of his own people the most !"

The others thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only way. Donating some money and food could strengthen the power of the Rattan Armored Army and allow them to defeat the Han army. Let their family be ruined!Don't practice crooked ways like this in Bingzhou!
And this is why Zhen An summoned them, to find a thigh for everyone to hug!

But Wei Chang was not reconciled, he looked at the crowd and said, "Don't tell me everyone is planning to watch Dong Zhuo slaughter us but remain indifferent!"

The other businessmen looked at Wei Chang strangely, wondering if he was crazy. Dong Zhuo was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Although they were rich, their status in the Han Dynasty was not high. Do you really intend to take revenge on the prime minister of a country?
Many people looked at Wei Chang with mocking eyes!
Someone else persuaded: "A mantis arm can't be used as a cart. Compared with Dong Zhuo butcher, I am that mantis. Even if we put all our strength together, we can't compare with the strength of Dong Zhuo's carriage. Brother Wei, let's take it easy, big man." We can also take root in Bingzhou if we are not welcome in other places. Lei Gongqu Shuai not only does not discriminate against us, but also helps us to build a family business. It is better to do business in Bingzhou than to be a cow in the family, and take our hard-earned money. The money is squandered on those masters!"

Zhang Fu looked at the crowd unconvinced and shouted: "What's wrong with the prime minister! He bullies people like this, a man is a man, he must have revenge and revenge! Brother Wei and Dong Zhuo have a deep hatred, killing Dong Zhuo is a man." What should be done!"

Then he looked at everyone with disdain and said: "How will Dong Zhuo deal with us and other merchants today? If we don't come back with revenge, will there be anyone in the world who will look up to us?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Fu with strange expressions. This is a countryman who came from there. Don't they have a good reputation among the big men? Who in the world thinks highly of them!Did he have some misunderstanding about the status of a businessman?

Even if they are rich, according to the law, they are the last of the four peoples, and their status is higher than that of servants!
Of course, there will definitely be some conflicts with the law in the actual situation. The actual situation is that they are a little higher than the two mud-legged classes of workers and peasants. The workers and peasants are two mud-legged classes, but at critical moments, they are used as pigs to kill!

Just like Dong Zhuo massacred them this time, basically no one in the court helped them speak up. On the political map of the big man, their status is about zero.

But Zhang Fu continued: "Let's see why Dong Zhuo didn't dare to bully the nobles. When he became the prime minister, he kept licking the nobles, but the Yuan family didn't like him at all. They directly rebelled against Dong Zhuo, and later defeated Yuan Shao. The Yuan Shu brothers dare not do anything to them! Isn't it because they have power and soldiers in their hands, and they have the final say on the world of big men!"

"Why didn't Dong Zhuo take down the people of the big Han this time? Could it be that they are kind-hearted? If they were so kind-hearted, they wouldn't have forced the Yellow Turban Army to rebel. The people in the Central Plains didn't rebel in those years, so it wasn't because they were punished by the court. forced."

"But why didn't they dare to turn the people back this time? It wasn't because the nobles and nobles in the Central Plains massacred hundreds of nobles and nobles half a year ago, and they were afraid of becoming officials. The killing of the Yellow Turban Army let them know that the common people are not good. Bullying, now they don’t dare to bully the people to death!”

"The reason why we merchants are slaughtered by Dong Zhuo now is not because Dong Zhuo thinks we are easy to bully. Even if he kills our whole family, we can't take revenge on him!"

"If we don't want to be killed by Dong Zhuo, we have to take revenge on him, and let Dong Zhuo, the big man's dog officials, know that I am not so easy to bully merchants. If we don't take revenge on Dong Zhuo, the dog officials, they will be short of money next time They will still slaughter the fat pigs among us!"

Everyone looked at Zhang Fu in surprise, many people didn't know him, but his tone was as loud as the sky, Dong Zhuo is the prime minister of a big man, one person is under ten thousand people.Is it that they can take revenge?With such a loud tone, who does he think he is!

Only Zhen An, old friends of the Tengjia Army, knew who Zhang Fu was. He was one of the top 10 textile giants in the private sector of the Tengjia Army!

Zhang Fu was originally a member of the Tengjia Army. After seeing the textile industry making money, he contacted his relatives and friends to jointly build a small textile factory, a workshop-style textile factory with only a few textile machines!

But what everyone didn't expect was that his action was appreciated by Lei Gong of the Rattan Armor Army. Lei Gong not only helped him lead the money shop, helped him buy textile machines and other machinery with loans, but also helped him contact many textile companies. Professional talents enable his textile factory to develop rapidly.

At that time, Xu Wei's idea was very simple. Since foreign merchants like Zhen An were not restricted from setting up factories, he couldn't allow the local members of the Tengjia Army to start factories now. After all, they are still their own people compared with Zhen An. , it doesn't make sense to support foreign businessmen instead of one's own people!

Moreover, Xu Wei's idea at the time was that with the Tengjia Army's own merchant group, it would be easier to control the merchants in the entire Bingzhou. After all, merchants can be regarded as his allies at this stage, and Xu Wei needs to unite to transform this feudal society. .

At the same time, he also uses the merchants of the Rattan Armored Army to transform the merchant class. At the very least, he can’t exploit people as cruelly as the first technological revolution, treating people as consumables, even children. If this kind of thing happens in The big man, the people of the big man will definitely rise up and rebel instead of being a bull for the capitalists!
And businessmen will definitely be driven into a situation of eternal doom by other people of the Han Dynasty. This is also the reason why the Chinese capital has sprouted twice but failed to bear fruit. The size of the Chinese Dynasty is too large, and the business model of the first technological revolution is difficult Finding enough is not to mention the market, but it will also force tens of millions of people in the country, making it impossible for this sprout to grow in a stable environment.

So Zhang Fu became one of Xu Wei's experimental subjects. He introduced the Huawei model to Zhang Fu, asked him to unite with ordinary people in the Rattan Armor Army, and asked them to produce people and textile machines. Everyone combined together to form a larger Large-scale textile factories improve labor efficiency and productivity, and the money earned is shared in secret proportions.

Under this model, Zhang Fu himself can control only a little more than 3000% of the shares. It can be said that it is a collective model. It is because of this expansion method that Zhang Fu was originally a family workshop, but suddenly Soaring to the sky, now Zhang Fu's factory has become a textile industry with more than 10 people, and even entered the top [-] private textile industries of the Rattan Army!

And this collective model also began to expand in the entire territory of the Fujika Army. Many tribes without money, through this method, everyone collected firewood and opened collective factories one by one!These factories became an important part of the Fujiko army's economy!

Dahan merchants have been educated since they were young that the status of merchants is low, and there are three views of no business and no adultery. When they grow up, they themselves recognize their low status. Of course they dare not resist when encountering things like Dong Zhuo, because they know that resistance can only bring Greater massacre!

But Zhang Fu is different, he is a businessman who was born and raised in the Fujia Army. There is no such thing as a difference in status in the territory of the Fujia Army, and there is no such thing as saying that everything is low-grade but only high-study.The highest status in the Fujika Army is the workers. The master craftsmen are not only comparable in status to the top of the Fujiko Army, but the wealth in their hands far exceeds that of other classes in the Fujiko Army.

Take Cai Qiao who improved the textile machine as an example. Because she improved the textile machine, the efficiency of the textile machine was increased by three times, and she became a master craftsman of the Rattan Armor Army. Not to mention, she can get a monthly salary of 3. There is also the patent fee. For every new type of textile machine in Bingzhou, 10% of the profit is her patent fee. This sum of money alone allows Cai Qiao to work on every machine without doing anything. There are millions of dollars in income every month, and tens of millions of dollars a year, which makes Cai Qiao the number one rich woman in the Vine Armor Army. Even in terms of wealth, Cai Qiao can also be ranked in the entire Vine Armor. The top [-] of the Armored Army!

No one in Bingzhou is envious of this money, even big businessmen like Zhen An are envious. Although they earn more money than Cai Qiao, they work hard and take care of everything to make money. She will still lose money, but Cai Qiao's patent is drought and flood guarantee. As long as someone uses a new type of loom, she will be given a penny. How can this not be enviable!
It can be said that the entire Rattan Army is envious and jealous of Cai Qiao, and many people even expressed dissatisfaction with Cai Qiao's high income. Although her contribution is large, it shouldn't be as big as [-] million yuan a year, right? A middle-level county in Dahan is just such an income.

But Xu Wei rejected their proposals, and directly used Cai Qiao as a typical example, and continued to publicize Cai Qiao's deeds within the scope of the Rattan Armored Army. Through Cai Qiao's deeds, he told everyone that making technological inventions can make money, and even You can be the richest man, so that more and more people will enter the industry of craftsmen, so as to ensure the dominant position of workers, and ensure that the highest priority talents can enter the factory as workers.

Xu Wei came from modern times. He has experienced all kinds of things that come to his mind, and he knows that what he says is high status and what honor is false. The more he talks, the more he lacks.

Why did everyone want to be a star when Xu Wei came, because they can earn hundreds of millions a year, even more than most listed companies, even a 3-4 star can earn more than scientists and engineers There are many, so don't blame college students for playing tricks instead of being scientists.

Now Xu Wei also thinks the same way, that is, he wants to establish a scientist in the place of the Tengjia Army, and being an engineer is the most profitable, so that the best talents of the big man will engage in scientific research and invention!
Therefore, Zhang Fu and the others are not as cautious as the businessmen of the big man. They think that their current life is created by their own labor and wisdom. They want to become the next Cai Qiao, and more He is full of arrogance, he dares to do anything, he is not afraid of anything, he dares to change the face of the sun and the moon!

But there were more people who didn't know Zhang Fu, and they mocked: "We people have nothing but money. Dong Zhuo has hundreds of thousands of troops around him, and he can pinch us to death with just a finger. How can we get revenge?" them?

Zhang Fu said unconvinced: "There are always more solutions than difficulties. We really want to take revenge on Dong Zhuo. Let the world see the strength of our merchants. We will always find a way!"

"The easiest way is to provide goods to help Qu Shuai defeat Huangfusong and wipe out the 20 troops of the big man. We can only let Dong Zhuo know that we are responsible for this. Dong Zhuo will definitely regret it. He was the one who killed me back then .”

In addition, money in our hands is also the best weapon. The merchants of the big man have been killed by Dong Zhuo. Who would dare to do business with them? It can be said that the goods of the whole big man are already difficult to flow. The goods of the big men push up the prices of the big men, so that Huangfusong and his army can't get food, weapons, armor and various equipment, weaken the combat effectiveness of the Han army, and make the Han army lose the battle due to lack of logistics supplies. This is not the same as our revenge s method! "

Everyone else was thinking about it. According to Zhang Fu, they found that the money in their hands could really affect the outcome of this war. After discussing with Zhen An for a while, the big businessmen present finally decided that Zhen An Meet Zhang Baiqi on their behalf, put forward this idea, and unite with the Tengjia Army to destroy the logistics of the Han Army!
At the same time, Zhang Baiqi and Wang Ge in Taiyuan County were very busy. They are now the top leaders in commanding the military and political aspects of the entire Tengjia Army. The logistics supplies needed are even more massive. Another advantage of the Tengjia Army is that they have a large number of granaries in each county, so the transportation of grain and grass does not need Zhang Baiqi to handle it. The local granaries alone are enough to cope with the war.

But after winter comes, all armies have to prepare a lot of warming materials. If it is not Mayi, it is the largest textile machine center in Dahan. Wool cloth and woolen sweaters are the best winter clothes in winter. Looking for winter clothes is exhausting!

At this time, Wang Ge was holding a letter, and was very embarrassed for a while. He found Zhang Baiqi and said, "Wang Lei wants to lead an army of 5 to attack Beidi County!"

Han Sui kept harassing Shuofang County, Wang Lei became impatient, and wanted to conquer Beidi County and burn the flames of war to Xiliang!
Zhang Baiqi said angrily after hearing this: "This is absolutely impossible. Shuofang County is the weak area of ​​our Tengjia Army! If something happens to him, we will have no time to rescue him, and even if we conquer Xiliang, we will not be able to deal with the current battle situation." It hasn’t changed much, but it has lengthened our battle line and consumed our few logistics supplies! Now we are maintaining an army of hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is already difficult for us to maintain the Youzhou battlefield alone. He still wants to What a waste of our supplies! I will give him an order to severely condemn his behavior and let him stay in Shuofang County!"

After dealing with the affairs of Shuofang County, Zhang Baiqi said: "The weather is cold now, and Huangfusong used ice as a wall to hinder the attack of Qu Shuai's army. I am afraid that this year's offensive will be difficult to continue. We can only continue after the weather gets warmer." Attack, can other directions support Qu Shuai's main battlefield!"

The stalemate in the war is not only very difficult for the big men, but also for the rattan armored army. Although there are many rattan armored troops, they make a lot of money and spend a lot, and their savings are not too much. Due to the consumption of various logistics materials, it is now a bit difficult for the Tengjia Army to maintain the front line.That's why Zhang Baiqi wanted to end the war as soon as possible!
Wang Ge said: "Ban's City has already been defeated by Huang Long's big attack. I will order Huang Long to continue attacking Lingqiu, and then attack Zhuojun all the way, cutting off Huangfusong's back route, and completely encircling Huangfusong in Guangyang County. , as long as Huangfusong's main force is wiped out, the big man will not be able to resist our attack!"

Zhang Baiqi asked: "Wang Yong and the others haven't conquered Yuyang City yet. They have 5 elites in their hands. It can be said that most of the elites of our Tengjia Army are in their hands. How come they haven't conquered even a single Yuyang City?" !"

Back then they had high hopes for Wang Yong, that's why they equipped his army with half of the iron armor of the Rattan Armored Army. Unfortunately, they didn't expect that Huangfusong's support would be so fast. They hadn't conquered Yuyang County yet. Huangfusong's The [-] army has already supported the past.

But now even though Huangfusong is fighting fiercely in Changping, he has not mobilized the defenders of Yuyang. Not to mention, Huangfusong even recruited many troops from Youzhou to support Yuyang. Now there are 6 troops in Yuyang City. , and the ice wall made, the current Yuyang City can already be regarded as a natural danger.

Wang Ge could only smile bitterly and said, "It's too difficult to attack the city in this weather. Yuyang has become an ice city, and now everyone can't even wear iron armor. If we attack by force, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. It is difficult, we can only wait for the winter to pass before launching military operations!"

The weather is too cold, and the soldiers of the Rattan Armored Army can't even wear iron armor now, and their defensive power has also weakened. If they want to attack Yuyang under the circumstances that the right time and place are not advantageous, Wang Yong and his 5 troops will all be defeated. Light may not be able to conquer Yuyang City!

Zhang Baiqi thought for a while and said: "We can only rely on black powder, let the gunpowder workshop increase the production of black powder!"

Black gunpowder has always been the top secret of the Rattan Armor Army. To keep it secret, Xu Wei only taught 10 people how to make black gunpowder. These 10 people are treated as master-level craftsmen in the Rattan Armor Army, and their monthly salary is 10 yuan. This kind of good treatment ensures that they can make gunpowder with peace of mind.

At the same time, Xu Wei also arranged for thousands of people to be stationed around the gunpowder workshop, and arranged for people to closely monitor these craftsmen. Such strict monitoring prevented the spread of black gunpowder. Of course, this also made it difficult for Xu Wei to increase production. It took a few years. More than 1 catties of black powder were produced.

Of course, accidents were inevitable. Once Xu Wei didn't know whether he accidentally ignited an open flame or because of static electricity. The gunpowder workshop exploded, killing 5 craftsmen on the spot. No one in the army dared to let Xu Wei get close to the gunpowder workshop, so the output of the gunpowder workshop was very low.

But now that Huangfusong already has a very primitive black powder, Zhang Baiqi and the others feel that there is no need to keep it secret. Instead, they should take advantage of their black powder and use it in large quantities to obtain greater results. So now the rattan armor The army already has a black powder factory with dozens of people to make all kinds of black powder!
