Mr. Liang reported on the progress of fundraising. All funds are as follows: The territory¡¯s own funds include the realizable part. Tian Wan; Heqi Chamber of Commerce has no large expenditures this month. The total working capital is over RMB 10,000, which is RMB 10,000 more than Chen Gong originally expected. However, considering that Qian Xixi needs to leave a small amount of funds to maintain the basic operations of the chamber of commerce. The actual available funds should not be more than four million; the war horses of the Taran tribe and the Shaodang Qiang are all in place. Calculated based on the average price of each war horse, which is four gold per day. This high-grade war horse is worth about 10,000 yuan, and the extra 10,000 yuan from Shaodangqiang has been put in place. The two foreign tribes actually joined hands to invest 20,000 yuan, which is the highest position. Because the time to find a buyer is too tight, and Fengxiang only accepts cash payment, some forces who are interested in buying are in a dilemma. Currently, nearly one-third of the war horses have not yet found a home. The Heqi Chamber of Commerce is trying its best to find potential buyers. Qian Xixi has received a death order and will definitely sell all the war horses before the deadline expires; Dragon Club, Fire Cloud City, Maple Leaf City and Liaodong's Fat Dragon Baby The allies are still trying to find ways to raise more funds at this time. They estimate that there is still a big gap between the fundraising figures and the actual arrival figures. These beloved allies are trustworthy, and it is only a matter of time before the funds arrive. Among the allies, Invincible City was the first to have all its funds in place. Relying on the fact that there were not many financing channels, the three plans were completed in one fell swoop. All he could do was stay aside and cheer for his friends; Finally, it was Tian Wanjin that A Niu borrowed from Cao Cao and Kong Rong. "Including the unpaid and expected parts, the total amount is about 10,000 yuan. The goal of 10 million yuan is still a long way away, and the situation is not optimistic." Sun Liang reported with a sullen face. He had been worried about fundraising. He is young and has a few strands of silver in his eyes. ¡°In terms of production, is there any room to increase the output of high-value commodities?¡± A Niu asked again. "We upgraded the equipment center to a high level yesterday. The upgrade and construction cost a total of tens of thousands of dollars. We think it is worth the money. After the upgrade, the maximum number of stores that the equipment center can accommodate has been increased from 6 to 3, which has greatly increased the equipment center's production capacity. More than 50%! Only one carpentry shop and tailor shop are preserved, and the other seven shops are all blacksmith shops. Those shops gather all the middle and high-level blacksmiths in the Qingzhou territory. At the same time, the subordinates are responsible for the production direction of the shops in the equipment center. Temporary adjustments have been made: "One store produces broken army suits to supply foreigners, and the other six stores are fully engaged in producing the more profitable Rhubarb Crossbow, so that the Advanced Equipment Center can maximize profits in the short term. However, because the time is too short, it is difficult to realize the benefits of the increased production capacity of the equipment center. In terms of output, the maximum increase in revenue before the deadline is 10,000. " "Other than that, there are no major changes. The production capacity of Baihua Wine has long been saturated, and Fengxiang Chair is subject to limited demand. Neither of these two major specialties will be able to make breakthroughs in the near future, especially for ordinary industries. Basically, internal capacity improvements can only go so far. "Sun Liang said with regret. "The additional income of more than 10,000 yuan is quite good. Wait, what did you mean by upgrading the equipment center just now? " Sun Liang explained: "That's it. The Lord took out some sundries from the safe some time ago, saying that you are often away from the territory and asked your subordinates to keep them for you. If there is anything that can be used, you can use it in time to avoid putting it in the safe and forgetting it. After the decision to raise funds was made, my subordinates took the time to check the items again and found one that could be used now. The Lord obtained an "Intermediate Building Upgrade Blueprint" during the Yellow Turban Campaign. After discussing with Mr. Pang, his subordinates directly upgraded the equipment center. " A Niu couldn't help but feel ashamed. The blueprint had been sealed in the safe for several years. Since he had not found a suitable target for its use in the early stage, the primary equipment center was only upgraded to the intermediate level when it was upgraded to the first-level capital city. A Niu has basically already I forgot about it in Maizi Slope. Fortunately, A Niu cleaned up the safe a few days ago and Sun Liang worked hard to prevent the blueprint from being buried. It was undoubtedly the best choice. ! The huge funding gap and the approaching deadline and the efforts of small and hostile forces have put Fengxiang City's fundraising under great pressure. A Niu is fully aware of the seriousness of the situation and the city owner dare not be careless. With the persuasion of Pang Tong and others, A Niu finally agreed to use the fundraising method that he had been unwilling to use easily before to raise funds among Fengxiang villagers! The wealth of Fengxiang people is almost the same. Good at fighting is equally famous. Both represent Fengxiang's strength and achievements in a certain field. After continuous improvement and reform, Fengxiang's salary system has become more and more attractive. Its strong and diversified profitability not only ensures Fengxiang's military success. Continuous investment in , scientific research, education, people's livelihood and other fields also ensures the normal operation of the salary system. To be honest, the proud residents of Fengxiang City are jealous of the generous benefits that the territory provides to the villagers month, car??. This caused Fengxiang villagers to reduce some necessary expenditures. A large part of the huge profits obtained by the territory through manufacturing and commercial channels flowed into the private sector in the form of salary, and the villagers' pockets became increasingly bulging. Hiding wealth among the people is not an empty talk in Fengxiang City! Sun Liang and others had long suggested that a certain city lord take drastic measures to tap the potential internally, but A Niu, who was a little paranoid in this regard, always believed that this method would disturb the people and should be done only as a last resort. A Niu did not want to have a good reputation over the years. Down the drain. However, as external fundraising pressure increased, Aniu had to change his original intention. Facing the biggest economic crisis in history, Fengxiang City finally appealed to the villagers for donations. This was the first time a certain city owner took over Fengxiang, and A Niu hoped it would also be the last time. Pang Tong said somewhat rejoicing: "The news that my lord may serve as the Prime Minister of Qi has been leaked by someone who is interested. The villagers will soon get the news. It is unrealistic to hide it any longer. However, this is good. Fundraising within the territory will become a matter of course." , those people could be regarded as unintentionally helping our city. A Niu still did not dare to neglect, and said to Sun Liang, Pang Tong and others: "Because the amount is huge, and we need to find a way to repay the foreign debt in the future, we will start from the villagers." The money you borrow may have to be paid back later. Let¡¯s discuss it carefully first. Let¡¯s see how to better explain to the villagers to avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary turmoil. At noon, Sun Liang announced the fate of the territory to the mayors of the affiliated territories, the commanders of each army, and representatives of various industries. Fengxiang formally announced to the villagers The act of asking for help is tantamount to indirectly confirming the rumors that "A Niu may serve as the Prime Minister of Qi". The villagers were very excited. People quickly transferred their enthusiasm to donations. Near the water tower, the first month, including the administrative center, the administrative center, the intelligence center, the prison, and the gate, the first to raise the donation. From the below of the deputy city owner Sun Liang, none of them were exceptions. The army soon followed. As soon as the situation was explained, the bustling military camp in the past quickly became deserted. The soldiers left one after another. When they returned to the military camp again, they brought with them the salaries they had saved. "Once when the Yellow Turbans invaded, my brothers suffered heavy casualties. My lord blocked a shot for a soldier at the entrance of the village. My lord may have forgotten that incident. But I always remember it because I am that soldier. This man is the same as Sima. The eyes of Gao Shun, a contemporary of Hengshang and a veteran who had survived hundreds of battles, did not leave the military camp. His home was here. The leader strode back to his house and took out a heavy package after a while. In front of the officials, he turned around and left without saying a word. Although everyone knew that Gao Shun, who was trapped in the camp and had a very high salary, was alone and had no bad habits, probably had some wealth, but after counting the amount, he was responsible for keeping accounts and records. The official was still shocked and couldn't recover for a long time, "General Gao never spends money? . If the enthusiastic donations from civil servants and the military with strong affiliations are not enough to explain A Niu's popularity in the territory, then the performance of ordinary Fengxiang villagers is surprising. "I know A Niu's temper well. From the day he arrived in Fengxiang Village, he has always shouldered all the difficult things alone. Over the years. This is the first time he has spoken to everyone. It seems that this time it is troublesome. Big. Now that Aniu is in trouble, I, Zhang Laoshi, will never stand by and watch. It would be a waste to leave this money there. Since Aniu needs it, let¡¯s use it first.¡± Fengxiang, who had been immersed in studying, appointed his elder Zhang Laoshi, walked out of the school tremblingly, and dug out an earthen jar from his yard. "I'm a rough guy, and I don't know how to talk about big things. I only know that after settling in Fengxiang, my children can go to school for free, and I can get subsidies from the territory for farming. My family has no worries about food and clothing, and the city lord doesn't let anyone else do it. If you bully us just because of this, I won¡¯t hesitate to donate my life, not to mention it¡¯s just some extraneous things!¡± A simple farmer. The vast majority of the villagers are just like the simple farmer. They have no beautiful words or sensational examples. They just silently express their attitude with practical actions, which is their unreserved support for the lord. On the coast of the East China Sea, the villagers of Dongzhu Town rushed to tell each other. To the east of Jiuli Mountain, the pharmacists in Baicao Town are racking their brains. From cities to towns, from shops to countryside, regardless of occupation, young or old, Fengxiang people are taking action! The Fengxiang people¡¯s love for a certain city lord and their loyalty to their territory once again made people stunned. A Niu did not stand up to express his inner gratitude to the villagers. There were some words that did not need to be said at all. A Niu has more important things at the moment. "
