Chapter 2311: The Seventh Division of the Ministry of Household, helping the weak and resisting the strong(2/2)
Through many battles in Hebei, Youzhou, Jingbei, Sizhou, Yongzhou, etc., Daqin seized as many as one million military equipment. In addition to the equipment that was reduced by 300,000, Daqin's discarded equipment alone amounted to as many as 1.33 million.
Ten thousand.
Ye Qingmei went to the West this time and took away enough inventory to equip an army of 400,000 people, and now he has to sell it to Moton and Dorgon for another 200,000 yuan, which means that half of these abandoned equipment has been disposed of.
The remaining discarded equipment can be almost completely disposed of after Ye Qingmei returns and makes her second and third voyage to the West.
"If all the 1.3 million pieces of equipment are sold out, won't there be nothing left to sell? And Daqin will also lose a major financial income. This is absolutely unacceptable."
After thinking about this, Ying Hao's eyes fell on Song Yingxing and asked: "Song Yingxing, you are in charge of the Ordnance Department. If the craftsmen of our Daqin go all out to build equipment, what will the production capacity be in a year?"
Song Yingxing stood up decisively and answered directly without thinking: "Your Majesty, if there is no shortage of raw materials, the total number of craftsmen in Da Qin is 120,000, and we can build the equipment of an army of 500,000 in one year."
"Half a million?"
Ying Hao looked thoughtful, and then said seriously: "It's not enough. The Ministry of Industry's output needs to continue to expand. You have one year to recruit the number of craftsmen to 150,000, and allocate 50,000 craftsmen to create the castrated version."
Inferior equipment, specially designed for external sale."
It is naturally impossible to sell the equipment of Da Qin's army to the outside world. After all, if Da Qin's equipment needs to be at the forefront, it may give up the big cake of arms sales, so it can only make some castrated versions of inferior goods to make money.
Other countries definitely cannot do this. After all, their own production capacity is somewhat limited. Only Daqin, which has overcapacity, can do this.
After Song Yingxing heard what Ying Hao said, he couldn't help but look embarrassed. After all, craftsmen are different from soldiers. They need to master skills in quantity. To train 30,000 qualified craftsmen in one year is a bit of a heavy task.
"What, are you sleepy?" Ying Hao asked with a faint smile.
Song Yingxing's thoughts were seen through, and he suddenly became excited, and then gritted his teeth and said: "No, Weichen will definitely complete the task."
