Chapter 338

The last is the textile industry, which is also an important embodiment of industrialization.There is nothing to say about this business. The Chinese people have been able to weave since a long time ago, and by the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it had developed to a very high level.

Fang Qiang is also very concerned about the textile industry, so he has ordered people to try to improve the loom. If successful, the textile industry in the entire territory will enter a stage of great development.

This morning, the leaders of the rebel army gathered together for a meeting. In fact, such a meeting has become a routine, and it will be held every five days. Most of Fang Qiang will attend, and even if he does not attend, he will leave an order Let Li Shanchang announce.

In the conference room of the Marshal's Mansion, the long table was full of people, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, these three were military representatives, Du Lu and Zhao Dashuan represented the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Zhiyuan was in charge of administration, Li Aimin represented the Ministry of Agriculture, Shen Wansan Represents a business group.

Speaking of Shen Wansan, there is a small episode. At this time, he is far from that wealthy businessman. When Fang Qiang found him, this guy was begging on the street. Unlike others, Fang Qiang knew Shen Wansan The ability, this guy is simply a business genius, as long as he is given time, he can create an incredible business miracle.Therefore, Fang Qiang decided to reuse him.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. When Shen Wansan met Fang Qiang, everything about him changed!Fang Qiang directly appointed him as the Minister of Finance, mainly in charge of money, and all business-related matters are also in his charge!
Shen Wansan did not disappoint Fang Qiang's expectations. In just half a month, he sorted out all the workshops in the territory. At the same time, he also put forward many unique insights. They all had to applaud.

"stand up!"

After Fang Qiang arrived, everyone separated from each other, saluted and sat down, and the meeting officially started.Fang Qiang swept his eyes across the crowd, and finally stopped on Shen Wansan's face.

"Little San, you have always been in charge of the territory's finances. Tell me, how has our income been this month?"

Shen Wansan did not expect that the commander-in-chief would be the first to point to him. He was a little excited besides being nervous, but he quickly controlled his emotions. After getting up, he nodded slightly to everyone and said, "Master, All industries in the territory have very good prospects. In your words, they are excellent assets, so the goods we produce are also very popular. However, there are many wastes in the territory, and there are many places where money is used. Only when there is a deficit, it is a deficit!"

"Yeah!" Fang Qiang nodded, with the same neutral expression on his face. It's normal to have a deficit. The territory needs to be built, built ships, raised troops, and made weapons. Everything needs to be done. When money is used, it is all spent like water!So it is not surprising that there is a deficit.

"Little San, you don't need to be nervous. It's perfectly normal to have a deficit. Let me tell you the details, and let's take a closer look..."

"It's Marshal!" Shen Wansan took out a stack of materials from his arms and began to make a detailed report: "Marshal, we have earned a total of 50 taels of silver this month, of which 20 taels were used to buy grain. It took 400 taels to buy various materials, and another 17 taels to pay workers and sergeants..."

Shen Wansan reported one by one, and Fang Qiang just listened quietly. There was no problem with other expenses, but the purchase of grain puzzled him a little. He had already introduced two kinds of potatoes and corn. High-yielding crops, why is there still not enough food?

Thinking of this, Fang Qiang turned his attention to Li Aimin, Minister of Agriculture, "Old Li, you have always been in charge of farming. Can you tell me why there is such a big shortage of food?"

"My man is so handsome..." Li Aimin began to cry as soon as he came up, "The two crops you brought have already been planted. Even if they can really produce high yields, we have to wait until after the autumn harvest! There are a total of 70 in the territory. Open your mouth and wait for food! Besides, there are a large number of refugees coming from all directions every day, no matter how much food we have, we can’t eat enough! You issued a strict order again, you must open warehouses to release food, so besides buying food There is no other way!"

"Oh, I see!"

Fang Qiang finally understood, no wonder the food in the territory was not enough to eat, it turned out that the potatoes and corn hadn't been harvested yet!
In fact, it’s no wonder that Fang Qiang has no sense of time. He always runs between the earth and the Wulin Continent. Due to the existence of the time ratio, he has spent a lot of days for no reason, so he thinks that the potatoes should be harvested, but The reality is that they have only just been planted!

In this way, there is no need to worry too much. Fang Qiang did a rough calculation. The cultivated land under his control is not much, but if it is fully cultivated, it will be no problem to feed 100 million people!If all potatoes and corn were planted, this number would be multiplied.

Then the matter of buying food from outside is temporary, and there is no need to worry at all!
The matter of the Ministry of Agriculture came to an end for the time being, and then Fang Qiang turned his attention to the military.So he opened his mouth and said to Xu Da: "Brother Xu, I heard that Liuhe is not peaceful recently? What's going on? Tell everyone in detail..."

"Marshal Qi..." Xu Da got up and clasped his fists and said, "Zhang Shicheng's team revived after Tuotuo retreated. Two days ago, 2 people were sent to attack Liuhe, and they will eventually retreat!"

"Okay! Brother Xu is mighty!"

Fang Qiang's words were sincere admiration. He knew the situation in Liuhe very well. There was only one division there. Xu Dan's ability to repel 2 people was really a great achievement!
Although he was appreciated by Fang Qiang, Xu Da's face was not happy. He bowed deeply to Fang Qiang, and then said: "Commander, our territory has expanded, and 5 troops seem to be a bit stretched." , the final general requests conscription!"

"conscription?"

Fang Qiang raised his eyebrows, his heart moved, and Xu Da's proposal just touched his heart.However, his business is getting bigger and bigger, and the matter of conscription can no longer be resolved by one person.

Fang Qiang cast his eyes on Shen Wansan and Li Aimin, and then asked slightly: "You have heard what General Xu said, what exactly does it mean, you two feel free to speak!"

Shen Wansan said: "Marshal, although our finances are in deficit, we still have some wealth. If you recruit 5 troops, you can barely do it. If there are more, it will be unsustainable!"

"Okay!" Fang Qiang nodded, then turned his gaze to Li Aimin, "Minister Li, what do you mean?"

Li Aimin's face turned into a bitter melon in an instant, only to hear his very reluctant Fang Qiang say: "Marshal, I understand General Xu's desire to conscript soldiers, but our Ministry of Agriculture has no extra food for the new soldiers." Salary is paid, so..."

Li Aimin didn't say what was going on, but Fang Qiang could tell that he was not in favor of conscription.
