In fact, terms like "proxy war" and "outsourcing" just sound new, but the content is not new. .access: I think China has a long history. From the Yin Shang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, it has accumulated four thousand years of political and military accumulation. There are countless cases of "outsourcing" and "agent war" in the past dynasties, so Liu Wenbin's statement is not an invention. , so even Zhao Jue, including Meng Shu, can no longer understand it.
It must be said that the conditions of the Sakhalin people headed by Mao Geng are not too harsh. After all, the payment for weapons and equipment is to be paid in advance, which is not even as good as the loan conditions. The court should have taken a big advantage. Meng Shu even thought in his heart, it would be best if you, Sakhalin Island and Jin Bing, can't help me, and I can't do anything to you. The two sides will fight each other, the snipe and the clam will fight, and then the fisherman of the Song Dynasty will benefit.
"However, Meng Shu's authorization was limited, and the matter was so serious that he had to ask the imperial court for instructions. But the distance between Sakhalin Island and Lin'an can be said to be very long. Every time I go back and forth, I will ask for instructions and reports before making decisions. A month or two has passed. Is this really going to delay the fighter plane? This further demonstrates the benefits of the telegraph machine. If the telegraph machine really has the legendary magical power of sending messages thousands of miles away, wouldn't it be possible to notify the court quickly? If the court is efficient, it can take up to seven or eight days to make a decision. When the heavenly soldiers marched westward, Sakhalin Island also launched a war against the Jin soldiers at the same time. The Song Dynasty would be in an invincible position.
Whether the telegraph message was just a legend or not aroused Meng Shu's strong interest. Of course, Zhao Huan also expressed his strong desire to verify it. Mao Geng was very happy. The demonstration of Xindao telegram transmission and reception had been arranged a long time ago. So, Zhao Wei, Lu Jiuyuan and Meng Shu were surprised by the magical demonstration of telegraph transmission. After watching the demonstration After that, the three of them were all thinking that once this mythical telegraph machine was put into use in the Song Dynasty, it might really, as the "Hatang" people said, really cause countless subversive changes in the military and politics. Change.
After some discussion, the Song Dynasty delegation felt that the imperial court must possess an artifact like the telegraph machine no matter what. As for the price of 3,000 guan, there is no need to worry about it. 100 units may not be enough. 3,000 guan is just 3,000 guan! The key is to deliver the goods quickly, preferably in time for the Western Expedition, so that we can be more confident in attacking Dali. However, the Mao Group keeps claiming that the production capacity of telegraph machines is limited. The Mao Group usually charges an expedited fee for rush work. Do not raise the price on the spot. If you add an expedited fee of 20% to 30%, it may be too much. Recognize it with your nose.
In the end, after the revised purchase order, telegraph machines were ranked at the forefront. As for the item, it was naturally purchased as military materials. After all, the military purchase money Lu Jiuyuan could use was limited. After some adjustments, the number of orders for compressed biscuits and other items increased significantly. The amount of money saved could be used to purchase telegraph machines, but the amount of military spending was limited. In desperation, Lu Jiuyuan had no choice but to set the first batch of purchase quantity of telegraph machines at 50 units. Of course Mao Geng will not increase the price, but the training fee will still be charged.
The sales promotion was very effective, but the public still felt that it was not satisfactory. According to the new order, if approved by the court, an advance payment of 1.8 million guan can be obtained. As a popular person in front of Zhao Dun, Meng Shu was quite sensible and knew that Sakhalin had to offer some benefits to the anti-golden beard. Therefore, with Meng Shu's participation, Lu Jiuyuan, the arms procurement boss, agreed to be the first An advance payment of 600,000 yuan is required, and subsequent payments must be approved by the court.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? into the previous 2 million strings of zero-rated arms orders, it is not bad to receive more than 2.6 million strings in one fell swoop. Of course, the previous expectations of the Travelers were higher. They originally hoped to collect more than 4.5 million yuan. The reason why they set the price so high was because they had settled accounts for the Song Dynasty court. In the past three years of the Song Dynasty, Taiwan alone The increase in tax revenue is considerable. Taiwan's sugar industry alone can provide the Song Dynasty with a tax revenue of 600,000 yuan a year. In another year, the tax revenue from the sugar industry may be in the millions. .
Speaking of Taiwan's sugar industry, ever since Mao Geng invented the technology to mass-produce white sugar, Taiwan's white sugar has become a best-selling commodity. Subsequently, the arrival of a group of time-travelers has made the country that should have been in the Qing Dynasty Rock candy, which will only come out at that time, was released ahead of schedule.
Rock candy looks good and is extremely sweet. Naturally, the price has doubled, and it is also highly sought after in the market. However, it is worth mentioning that time travelers generally do not touch rock sugar, because today's Mao's rock sugar is not the green rock sugar of later generations. Mao's rock sugar needs to be added with alum polycrystals after being boiled with vegetable oil, and alum is Aluminum potassium sulfate, modern research has found that alum is harmful to human health, mainly reflected in the slow accumulation of the metal element aluminum in the human body. The aluminum in alum is difficult to be excreted after being absorbed by the body. Over time, aluminum accumulates in the brain. The more it accumulates, the more it accumulates and cannot be discharged, which will lead to damage to the brain and nerve cells, which may lead to symptoms such as brain atrophy and dementia.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? In short, the great development of Taiwan's sugar industry has first led to the great development of sugarcane planting industry.?Although the sugarcane planting industry has repeatedly expanded its production, it still cannot meet the needs of the sugar industry, thus stimulating the sugarcane planting industry to repeatedly expand its planting area. As a result, Taiwan's land was sold hotly, and the biggest beneficiary was of course the Song Dynasty court. The land sales collected money, and the sugar industry also collected taxes. In a year, the income from land sales including taxes and taxes went straight to 3 million yuan. go.
Therefore, just paying more than 2.6 million guan to Sakhalin Island is really nothing to today's Song Dynasty. It is more than enough for Taiwan's new income.
??Well, it should be said that more than 2.6 million is a lot, of which the profit should be 1.5 million. With this money, Sakhalin's confidence in fighting the Jin soldiers has improved a lot.
In addition to the order from the Song Dynasty court, Zhao Luan also came with the icing on the cake. Zhao Luan placed a long order in one breath, including 20 telegraph machines, tractors, and so on.
Zhao Luan can now be regarded as one of the biggest tycoons in the Song Dynasty. According to folklore, some people say that Mao Geng is the richest man in the Song Dynasty, while others say that Zhao Luan is the richest man in the Song Dynasty. Anyway, Zhao Luan is among the top three tycoons in the Song Dynasty. There is no doubt about wealth. As one of the top richest people in the world, future generations of rich people would often buy private jets worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Zhao Suan had money, so naturally he was rich. On the contrary, he was more generous than the Song Dynasty court.
It is said that the whale industry chain in Xiayi Island has brought Zhao Jue a lot of income. In addition, Zhao Jue holds a lot of blue chip stocks and has very abundant cash flow. Although Mao Geng has huge wealth, he is recognized by people in the industry as the wealthiest person. First, it is helpless that Mao Geng's front line is too long and there are too many things to do. It is not as difficult for Zhao Wei to take out a million dollars as he has a lot of cash. Because of this, Zhao Jue is very serious about building a railway on Xiayi Island.
Mao Geng also knew that on the one hand, the Beihai County King was indeed burning money, and on the other hand, it was also to support the war between Sakhalin Island and the Jin soldiers. However, building railways was also a technical job, and currently all travelers had a lot of money on hand. With so many things to do, it was impossible to go to Xiayi Island and concentrate on building the railway for Zhao Qian. Therefore, under Mao Geng¡¯s suggestion, Xiayi Island¡¯s railway plan became a segmented construction plan. According to this plan, from Zhaifang to Ishikari Bay seaside The railway will be built in three to five years. The first phase of construction is the city-circling railway in Zhifang. The transportation function of this city-circling railway is secondary, but its main function is for defense.
Lao Peng, a time traveler, has watched the movie "Liberation of Shijiazhuang". The armored vehicles of the Shijiazhuang defenders were throwing firepower back and forth on the railway around the city, just like a mobile bunker, which caused a lot of trouble to our army. Lao Peng was deeply impressed by this, so he suggested building such a ring railway in Dongrui Town. However, Ma Fen believed that spending money to build such a railway was not cost-effective. If you had the money, you might as well build more A few bunkers and one more soldier to train. Some people supported the project, while others opposed it, so it was shelved. Nothing else. The key was the lack of money.
Now Zhao Luan wants to invest in railways on Xiayi Island, so the city-circuit railway project has been revived. Sold to Zhao Li, the price of 15 kilograms/meter light rail is two rails per meter, and the actual cost is less than half. Therefore, the profit of Zhao Li¡¯s first-phase railway project, the Zhaifang Ring Railway, is enough for travelers to travel east The city-circling railway in Ruizhen still has a lot to be repaired. In this case, the Dongrui Ring Railway proposed by Lao Peng officially started construction.
It¡¯s really good to have someone like Zhao Suan pay the bill.
Despite this, the time-travelers are still not satisfied. The time-travel masters from later generations are more sophisticated than the others. Wang Feng expressed his opinion through telegrams on behalf of the Song Dynasty in starting a war against the Jin soldiers.
"Haha, you see, he is indeed the most stingy of all our time travellers. Wang Feng really dares to think about it, but I like it! Haha! The Song Dynasty outsourced the war to us, and we in turn outsourced the war. If the subcontracting method for the Wudigai and Jili Mi tribes can be successful, Wang Feng's method of subcontracting will save money and reduce risks. I think I might as well give it a try." Lin Li was the one who said this. As a farmer entrepreneur of later generations, although Lin Lishi is not as fussy as Wang Feng, controlling costs in everything is almost instinctive. Lin Lishi can come up with various ways to cut corners in production, so he feels that Wang Feng's Good idea.
It is said that after Ma Fen occupied Sakhalin Island, the Travelers have been collecting intelligence on the northeast of the Jin Kingdom on the other side through various channels. Since they have made a layout in advance, there is naturally no shortage of various intelligence on the Jin Kingdom.
Intelligence from the Jin Kingdom showed that the Wudigai tribe in the northeastern part of the Jin Kingdom had been rebelling for several years. The Jin soldiers repeatedly sent troops to quell the rebellion, but they were never able to completely extinguish the rebellion. Later, they simply didn't bother to do so. Troops were sent to suppress it. As long as the Wudigai tribe didn't cause too much trouble, the Jin Dynasty court would turn a blind eye and let the matter go. This is almost exactly the same as the Song Dynasty's restraint policy.
The Jili ¡®Mi¡¯ tribe further east also began to show signs of instability during the Jin Shizong period.Rebellions occurred from time to time, which was of course because the Jin people squeezed them too hard. In view of the fact that Jin Shizong had repeatedly failed to conquer Wudigai, he was even less willing to spend time on expeditions to the more distant Jili'Mi' tribe. Therefore, the two tribes of Wudigai and Jili'Mi' were basically in a state of laissez-faire. As long as there wasn't too much noise, the imperial court of the Great Jin Empire would pretend they didn't see it.
It can be seen that each family has its own unique sutra that is difficult to recite! Under the seemingly powerful Jin imperialism, there was actually no peace.
Wang Feng proposed to let the Wudigai and Jili people go to war with the Jin people. According to the appetite of the two tribes, it should not cost too much, or one or two hundred thousand yuan, plus some wire pulleys. The crossbow is enough to make these two tribesmen work hard for their lives.
It looks like it could really be used once.
Ma Fen smiled and said:
"You can do this! It's good to give the Wudigai and Jili fans some sweeteners and let them fight against the Jin soldiers, even if it means harassment." When Ma Fen said this, his smile froze and he turned And Zhengse said: "However, we are not contractors after all. When we accept war projects from the Song Dynasty, we still have to pay attention to quality. Unscrupulous contractors like the later generations do nothing but make money by doing two or three guarantees." , we can't do this. This will not only damage the brand, but also endanger the safety of Sakhalin itself. Therefore, in my opinion, we have to do the core part of this war project ourselves. As for the auxiliary projects, we can subcontract them to Wudecai and Jili 'mi' these two groups."
The people present here laughed again.
After some joking among the people, an anti-Jin plan was announced. Soon, the Jin people fell into trouble one after another. ¡ª¡ª32133+dsuaahhh+27446489¡ª¡ª>
