Chapter 480 Chapter 470 Chapter Seven

What Li Jing said was well-founded, but Su Xi was still very upset.

What the hell are you going to say.

What the hell are you going to say.

Can we talk about something realistic.

"Duke Wei, it's okay to tell the truth, can you say something useful?"

Su Xi couldn't stand it anymore. The night view of Chang'an is very beautiful, but who should share it with.

He felt that if he hugged Anyang, it would be nice to chat and watch the night scene here, but it would be unsightly with Li Jing, a bad old man.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is viewed with a bad old man, it will become unsightly.

This is Su Xi's perception.

"Young man, you can't be more patient."

Li Jing never expected that Su Xi would be so impatient, she didn't even have the heart to listen to him finish his speech.

"Duke Wei, I'm patient, but I'm very tired now. I just want to go home and eat something, and sleep with my wife in my arms."

There are no dreams and ideals at all, Su Xi just wants to live a down-to-earth life, and other messy things are useless.

Li Jing really wanted to call Su Xi dead with one mouthful, because a child cannot be taught.

"Well, I asked you here for one reason, I hope you can invent more firearms."

Li Jing honestly stated that his reason for coming was for the research and development of firearms.

"If you have nothing to do, go to the three provinces. There is no shortage of workers there. On the contrary, the front army lacks all kinds of advanced firearms."

Su Xi was silent. To be honest, logistics is very important.

As soon as the cannon rang, the gold was ten thousand taels.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence.

If you have hundreds of cannons on the front line, you will have to spend a lot of money on the rear.

And transporting shells and artillery was a logistical strain in itself.

If it weren't for the fact that Datang didn't lack cattle, horses and other livestock, and could rely on them for towing, purely relying on people, many places would be difficult to get through.

In addition to these, there are weapons such as rockets. Basically, it is no problem to say that it is difficult to handle.

Besides, even if the technology is split now, each person is only responsible for one piece, and some high-tech positions still need enough skilled workers for supervision and training.

"Wei Guogong, there is a shortage of people, and there is a shortage of middle-level and bottom-level staff."

Su Xi smiled bitterly.

Sometimes it's not that they don't work hard, it's that they really lack people.

"Now we have even absorbed some smart people among the slaves, and we are working hard to improve, but it is still useless, and there is a shortage of people everywhere."

Li Jing frowned, is there such a shortage of people?

Su Xi pointed at the flourishing world below, and said helplessly: "Why do you think they are so happy, and they spend money lavishly?
It is even possible that those merchants can earn enough money for ten days in one day today.

Do you know why? "

Facing Su Xi's questioning, Li Jing said he didn't know, he really didn't know.

Su Xi smiled wryly: "Now the biggest factor restricting economic development is ourselves."

Looking at the prosperity below, Su Xi sneered: "In our factory, there is no rest time at all. We commute to and from get off work on time every day, and we conduct literacy training, and those who are able to read can learn technology.

Most of them, apart from firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, have little other business, so that some factories have begun to negotiate with workers, pay a part of their wages, and customize clothes and household supplies for ordinary workers. "

Li Jing was completely dizzy, what kind of operation was this.

"Workers don't have time to go out and buy things.

No problem, it is uniformly customized by the factory, directly deducted from the salary, the price is slightly lower, and the common people can still have a part of their salary every month. "

There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of Su Xi's mouth.

The common people think that they have made a profit, but no, there is no profit at all. Many of them are benefits that the factory would have given out.

Chai, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea, what a company benefit.

Changing hands will blackmail the wages of the people, and sell them the benefits that were supposed to be paid.

This also reduces the pressure on material transfer.

There are many benefits.

Li Jing was stunned, completely unexpected that there were so many operations.

"These people are actually very rich, and they are willing to spend it."

Why is there a festival, and why did it start to suggest that factories have a holiday.

There is only one willing to let them spend the money they earn.

The factory owners are basically middle-level and high-level figures in Datang, and they have a lot of expenses at home. They are the only ones who don't need Su Xi to worry about not spending money, and they will spend money naturally.

They need to buy too many things, and their spending power far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Of course, the consumption power of ordinary people is even more astonishing.

"Wei Guogong, to be honest, military expenditure is now a large expenditure of Datang.

Not only the logistics, but also the pensions for the soldiers killed in battle, and the rewards after the victory. The salaries of the soldiers in normal times are scattered and added up. The military expenditure of the Tang Dynasty for a year is an astronomical figure. stare. "

Su Xi himself didn't want to go to the three provinces, but if he didn't go to the three provinces, he would be an ordinary Minister of the Ministry of War, and he would not have access to many secrets of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing expressed his understanding, and he understood Su Xi's difficulties.

"It's okay, there are us generals behind you, as long as you speak, we will help you."

Li Jing patted Su Xi on the shoulder, signaling him not to be afraid.

Su Xi opened her mouth, but still didn't tell Li Jing, in fact, you all just need to be honest, do more professional things, don't look for trouble, Su Xi can live well.

"But doesn't the Ministry of War itself have some industries? Are these outputs not enough?"

Li Jing remembered that the Tang military had a lot of messy industries. Aren't those industries quite valuable?

Su Xi shook her head and directly denied it.

"You think it is a valuable industry, if it can support those wounded soldiers who are discharged from the army and distribute some of the military's own benefits, it is not bad.

Military spending can't make up much at all, especially now that the country has money.

More is to fill the output directly into logistics.

Think for yourself how crazy Datang's current logistics supply is. "

Su Xi asked Li Jing to think about it for himself.

There is meat in the fried rice and fried noodles brought during the war, and it only needs to be mixed with hot water to have a full meal.

Once the army is stationed somewhere, the logistics will send some fruit and meat even if it explodes.

real chunks of meat,

For example, in the Western Regions and Central Asia, they directly eat meat and fruits all year round.

It seems inconspicuous, but if it is consumed in a day, it is also a scary number.

If it weren't for the big men in the rear, the countries they occupied were not bad, who could support an army of [-].

Li Jing thought about it for a while. Indeed, the current army is really well fed. As long as they don't go to war directly, they will basically have meat to eat.

There are even meat reserves in the army.

The meat that has been marinated, just throw it in when the fried rice is fried and fried noodles, and you can eat it.

Once the hot water is soaked, the fried noodles will be hot, and the meat will be softer after a while.

It doesn't sound like much, but this kind of logistics Li Jing said he saw it for the first time.

Occupy a country and allow soldiers to recruit some animals to kill and eat.

Li Jing was silent. Indeed, one of the three provinces had to be placed with a boss.
