538 The Price You Can Bear
Before he reached the top, Liu Can had some relationship with his ancestors and Liu Gongquan, there were almost no places where he really used the influence of the Liu family in Hedong.
He is better than Liu Gongquan's grandson, and his personal practical ability is completely outstanding.
Although he was not an engineer, Liu Can was knowledgeable and willing to understand various categories in industrial production activities.
So, he probably knew what was happening in his mind when he took a casual look at the street-facing factories in Anren County.
"Boss, it's still quite messy and small here."
"There is no way to go. He built the cement plant near Tianyuan Mountain, not because he didn't know that the cement plant would reduce transportation costs, but safety first."
"Safe? Afraid of explosion?"
"It's not about production safety, but about survival safety. Once you are surrounded, these bottles and jars have to be dismantled and moved. It's not easy to save some money. Don't think that the Cheng family can only pay tens of millions of dollars to support a few decent factories. All bulk industrial products are heavy assets, long-term investment and long-term maintenance, and the profits are limited."
Liu Can raised his hand and pointed to a large-scale building like a large bunk bed, "I saw that shack is not ordinary, right? It was a tin plating workshop. Look at the next door, it is a board processing workshop. I looked at it and there was a tempering process."
“??????”
"You, when you go to Qianzhong, you must understand it carefully. The "Working Party" is an extremely progressive organization with a bit of the taste of Wuhan back then."
Nodded, Liu Can, who was satisfied with the whiskers, said again, "If nothing unexpected happens, at least in Anren County, you can produce and process tin-plated cans by yourself."
"can?"
"It's canned food. meat, vegetables, fruits, pickled products, oils..."
As if you know several families, the old man Liu Can twitched his fingers, "It was all for long-term combat preparations. If necessary, it was also hard currency."
"hard currency?"
"Is gold and silver a hard currency?"
"yes."
"But these days, when you go to Feidong and Huainan, what can you buy if you get a hundred kilograms of gold? But if there is a can, I'm afraid that not everything can be exchanged."
Hungry, Liu Can has experienced it.
Liu Can just heard of famine, but never felt it.
But last year, he really saw how crazy the people who fled the famine were, and this was still the case when he had not yet entered the disaster area.
In the past three hundred years of the founding of the country, except for the particularly bad records when Emperor Taiwu was reigning, the most ruthless year of disaster since the Zhenguan era was the first year two and three years.
But even so, it came through smoothly, and the Turks were destroyed in the sixth year of Zhenguan.
However, in recent years, Liu Can has simply felt magical. Any year that is in the early Zhenguan Era is afraid that no matter how disobeyed Emperor Wen, he will not be able to withstand such a devastating blow.
Fortunately, there are a lot of video accumulation, and there are also a large number of factories that can process and produce various civilian products and necessities.
Liu Can further deeply realized that factories, industry and industrial production activities are important support for humans to resist disasters.
However, it is obviously not possible to have industrial capabilities alone.
He actually quietly calculated the calculations. According to the production capacity of Jianghuai Province, Shandong Province, and Jiangdong Province, and the production capacity of several developed cities, it is enough to ensure a smooth passage of the famine in the "central core area".
But not.
In the last step, there were major deviations in the distribution process of industrial output.
Why?
Liu Can understand.
He did not gain the glory of Liu Gongquan when he was a teenager. His grandfather Liu Gongqi and Liu Gongquan were just brothers, and they were far behind.
After becoming famous, whether intentionally or not, Liu Gongquan's halo blessing allowed him to enjoy the convenience of "Hedong Liu Family".
So much so that he almost forgot that he was not the descendant of Liu Gongquan. If he had not made a fortune, he would have been almost the same as those victims in Jianghuai Province.
Who dares to say that there is no descendant of the "Yangzhou Wei Family" there? Maybe Wei Zheng's direct descendant is among them.
For high-ranking and big players, sooner or later, they have to distinguish between high and low, and between high and low.
When did you start to regard yourself as noble?
Liu Can was very ashamed, but he was extremely happy to see that this small place in Anren County flourished and stubbornly created various simple factories.
But there is a little regret. Maybe it was that we should have slightly intercepted Changsha’s high-quality equipment. In this case, Wang Jiao would have to save more effort, right?
This young man, yes.
"Their stamping workshop is still too primitive, and even more decent steel cannot be supplied."
"I heard that there is a stamping workshop in Daliyu Reservoir, which is under the control of Nanchang."
"I'm afraid that the 'Jingnan Army' has nothing left behind."
How could Feng Fu, who was almost writing his independence on his face, let alone those heavy equipment be spared?
The assembly industry is the guarantee of the continuous production capacity of advanced ordnance.
Even under certain circumstances, it is much more important than personnel.
The four major industrial ministries have numbers for how many important equipment there are in the entire empire. In the past, even spare parts should not be left overseas.
The absolute advantage of the Empire's suppression of the rebels is one of them.
But now, the equilibrium is broken.
"As long as the court's finances have not improved significantly this year, it is inevitable that 'blow more points' will bloom."
“Bloom more than one point?”
"Massive military production, I guess as long as it is a strong industrial province, I will play a few new tricks. However, this may be a good thing for the "People's Party."
"This...a good thing? Boss, Guangzhou is Nandu. If you really start construction at a loss, the output per day will be equivalent to that of a year here."
"Feng Fu is a businessman's mind after all, and he will not invest hard. What he wants is profit. The Jingnan Army itself is a tool for him to pursue monopoly profits. Although he is so imposing now, as long as he stops, it will be the beginning of the internal stolen goods. At that time, the fierceness of his cause will be the result of the collapse. Of course, if the central government is worse, it will be no big problem."
“…”
"Do you know that after the transformation to military use, there is actually no profit? Because the guns and cannons do not increase profits. If you don't fight, there is nothing. But as long as you throw a rat and avoid weapons, and then enter the stage of mutual deterrence, these investments, as long as they are military use, are dead debts. The cost is too high. Not to mention Feng Fu, even the empire, can't afford it."
"Well? Boss, what you mean... can you afford it here?"
"That's sure."
Liu Can smiled, "Did you see the eyes of those thin but energetic locals? That is the eyes that are about to be killed and turn over. As long as they can turn over, their Chairman Wang said they would be crushed to pieces, and they would go on one after another. This cost is much higher than any dead debt."
