630 The Avengers(1/2)
"Shu Jia didn't play beautifully, but he was very stable."
"It's better if you can win. If you can win easily, it's better, but unfortunately there is no such condition."
Looking at Guo Wei who was chatting around, Wang Jiao put down his work and said directly, "Why did you come here again this time? Tell me, what else is missing."
"Can you give me 40 heavy machine guns? Another 20,000 bullets."
“…”
After being silent for a while, Wang Jiao said, "Do you think I know the magic? Forty heavy machine guns, there are still seventeen or eighteen heavy machine guns left in the logistics warehouse, and half of them are renovated. Do you think machine gun bullets are easy to smuggle?"
"Didn't it meant that it could be made..."
"Yes, it won't be far."
When Wang Jiao saw him asking him for money and equipment, he was extremely immense. Before Guo Wei came, Zhao Yiqian also helped people come and ask for money. He said that it was a reservoir in four counties in Xiangdong. As long as ten or eight more were built, the arable land area would increase at least 50,000 mu.
The chest was shaking loudly, as if migrant workers were drinking the northwest wind when they went to the construction site, and they did not need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.
Nowadays, the conditions are gradually improving. Although there is no need to be a luxury, the basic conditions for houses to shelter from the wind and rain must be provided. In fact, within the scope of the notice of the "Working Party", the bamboo and wood processing industry has the largest number of workers.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all useful, including bamboo shoots, bamboo strips, bamboo poles, bamboo leaves...
It can be used from dietary fiber to mushroom cultivation.
The most common houses currently are bamboo, wood, brick and stilt houses, not for the sake of good looks, but for ensuring that they are not flooded.
The problem of flooding cannot be solved once and for all. Nowadays, everything you do depends on God’s appreciation.
If God doesn’t give him face, then the consequences will be Jianghuai Province.
Therefore, the large tiled houses in low-lying or hilly areas are beautiful, but they take up too much building materials and it is easy to cause heavy rain to collapse the walls and houses.
It is also considered comprehensively that the current private housing paradigm has been established.
It is not a slap in the head, nor is it a fixed aesthetic, it is purely to use limited resources on the blade.
At present, the "Working Party" can not produce many industrial products. The food processing industry and textile industry can actually make money.
The total size of silkworm farmers is already quite considerable, and the total amount of silk reels can be compared with that of a state in Jiangdong Province.
Tea processing and export in Chaling County is accompanied by raw silk.
The unit yield is not as good as that of Jiangdong, because local silkworms do not eat mulberry leaves every day, but also lettuce leaves.
Lettuce is processed into dried vegetables, and the skin is used to ferment the fat fields. In addition to humans, leaves can also be eaten by pigs and silkworms.
The raw silk production of a silkworm is about one-third of that of Suzhou, and the price is also low, but it is already a very good high-value-added product.
After walking on the jiao Cang Line, all the wealthy households in the prefectures and counties along the way were willing to buy. This market is quite abnormal, but the total volume is very considerable.
After all, it is due to human nature. Those rich families in the places, or bandits inherited from the ancestral trees, do not want to wear brocade robes. Jiaozhou kapok is also a high-end product, but not only the price is expensive, but ordinary people cannot afford it, and the texture is not as good as silk. However, Susi is a top luxury product. It is not impossible to pay for this money, but it hurts.
So "Xiang Silk" became one of the few substitutes, and along the Jiaocang Line, "Xiang Silk" does have its own brand, called "Xiang Silk".
The people responsible for this are mainly local cadres promoted from the grassroots level of the "Five Gun Team".
Those who have fought at the grassroots level dare to fight, dare to think, so they all have a heart to become bigger and stronger. Looking for Wang Jiao to ask for money to expand reproduction, it is an instinct to continue.
Even if Wang Jiao was not found, the "Xiangsi Rural Cooperative" in the four counties in Xiangdong increased by more than 300 a year.
However, Wang Jiao did not become a cash cow because of the "Acacia Card", so he was brainless.
There is a limit to this thing. It is impossible to continue to expand by relying on the "Jiang Cang Line". If you want to expand the scale, the land, labor and funds occupied will be even larger.
Basically, Wang Jiao is very careful and doesn’t want to shuttle easily, but he is really hard to put his strength there.
It is not an important technological breakthrough or technical breakthrough, money, things, and people, and you can save money and not give it.
Zhao Yiqian asked him for a reservoir, and Guo Wei asked him for a heavy machine gun. These are all levels of giving or not giving.
Now that Guo Wei spoke, it was obvious that he was under pressure, but he was not at the verge of life and death. So Wang Jiao didn't plan to give him four to Guo Wei, let alone forty heavy machine guns.
"I want to fight if I can't go far. Recently, there is no movement in the 'Changshan Road' in Quzhou. Jiangdong must have made a big move, so I have to be on guard."
"There is no gun, bullets, I can give you some."
"What do I want bullets? I want guns."
"One hundred thousand hairs."
"How many times should I send you beggars?"
"One hundred thousand hairs."
Wang Jiao picked up the teacup and spoke in a calm tone. "The copper smelting plant finally started. The technicians and engineers who escaped from Nanchang have built some equipment from Shicheng Steel Plant through relationships. There is still a breakthrough in mold processing. Now there is no need to worry about shell shells. The quality of fixed-mounted gunpowder is a bit poor, and the range is not as good as Wuhan goods, but the output is considerable."
"That's just a mass..."
When he heard something "produced very considerable", Guo Wei's ears automatically filtered the words "poor quality" and "inadequate range", and he became cheered up, "The times are developing and society is progressing. It is reasonable for excellent soldiers to get two hundred bullets per person, right?"
"You think I'm a fool? One soldier in the Central Army has only fifty bullets, and one soldier in the local army has only five bullets. You tell me two hundred bullets..."
"We are a progressive team, and of course we must have a progressive idea. If we can solve things with two hundred bullets, we don't need to fill our lives, right?"
"What you said makes sense, but large-scale production is not that easy. Recently, those people from the 'Mechanical Design Department' are thinking about developing a set of bullet machines, rather than the current semi-handicrafts. They told me that in theory, it is not a problem to produce tens of thousands of bullets a day, as long as the materials are enough."
Wang Jiao didn't understand these at all. He was confused and didn't know what "mold stretching" and "stamping technology" he was talking about when the masters from Nanchang told him.
Fortunately, these "devil" engineering dogs are quite realistic. They limit the construction period and task cycle for themselves. Only when they achieve the task goals will they ask Wang Jiao for funds again.
Money is not a problem.
At least it is not a problem at this time.
Because while producing bullets, copper coins can also be produced.
In addition to payment forms such as tickets, work points, physical items, etc., the first currency issued by the "Working Party" is copper coins.
Choosing copper coins instead of paper money is purely for the convenience of trading with "big customers" farther away. For example, if Shicheng Steel Factory is just a "exchange trade", the attractiveness is not lacking, but not that great.
In Hunan, which lacks copper, there are actually some small copper ores that are easy to mine and other metal ores associated with them, which gives Wang Jiao a room for weighing.
From mining to processing to deep processing, this is a large industrial chain. The jobs created are important, but not much.
In the long run, it is possible to form a set of own job skills training mechanisms that can be easily transplanted to other places without being confused and starting from scratch.
The engineering dogs in Nanchang and Changsha did not disappoint Wang Jiao's "selling the pot" behavior. Now Shu Jia can take his guards to fight trench wars in Yuezhou. The confidence is not only that a large number of people form migrant workers' transportation teams and excavation teams, but also that the "People's Party" has mastered a certain amount of capital for fighting attrition.
There is no way to control guns and cannons, but bullets can be controlled enough.
At present, the "bullet bureau" under the "Mechanical Design Department" has a normal production of 2,000 bullets per day. If you work in three shifts, as long as the logistics is not bad, there are 5,000 bullets per day. After counting, two million bullets a year are also a large number of major players in the entire Emperor Tang Dynasty.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to shift three. It is not that the workers are unwilling, but that the raw materials are unwilling, and gunpowder is unwilling...
The output of 50,000 or 60,000 bullets per month is the minimum output of the current "bullet bureau" and the ultimate output.
With the blockade of the Yangtze River, Wang Jiao could only seize the time to produce. The production accumulated by most of the year will be guaranteed for war in the next few months.
Of course, in addition to killing people, the bullet itself has another important feature, that is, in some areas, it is equivalent to the "revolutionary copper coins" issued by the "Working Party".
Using bullets to pay for some special goods can be said to be the norm in hot spots.
The production of drugs here in Hunan is subject to blockade and restrictions, so the source of the main drugs and medical devices is trade and smuggling.
Smuggling is one line, and trade is another line.
Because of the particularity of the "Working Party", trade has a higher risk than smuggling.
Smuggled customers are diverse, but trade customers are generally "innocent".
Usually, local governments or garrisons can obtain medicines and equipment from the court based on supplies and quotas, and then sell them in normal channels.
Regular channels will undoubtedly be subject to higher supervision.
Therefore, in order to complete these procedures, the necessary public relations expenses are already higher than the value of the medicine itself.
Before bullets could be mass-produced stably, Wangjiao mainly traded selectively through precious metals, minerals, silk, and food.
Because some local governments need food, while some local governments and bureaucrats want to catch up, they prefer precious metals. Some local governments are ambitious and have a certain industrial foundation, so they need industrial raw materials, such as metal minerals.
After having bullets, I dare not say that most local bureaucrats who have pursuits choose to pay with bullets, which is more attractive than copper coins and gold and silver.
In some special areas, if the officials have a batch of bullets in their hands, they can stabilize a batch of people, and obtain gold, silver, copper coins, ten times and twenty times the amount of trade with Wangjiao.
His condition is roughly the same as that of Guo Wei now.
Forty machine guns and twenty thousand bullets, this is an ideal demand.
There is no machine gun, and 20,000 bullets are not impossible.
Super doubled, 100,000 bullets, and that instantly it was full of expectations.
"One hundred thousand bullets...is OK."
Guo Wei thought about it for a while and immediately increased the price, "I want two thousand grenades, long-handled grenades. I may not be used up, just in case. If there is no big problem on the 'Changshan Road', I will go to Shangrao County to pull the grenade away."
"You have been floating recently and fooled me up on my head. Two thousand grenades are given to you, and I want to pull them away?"
"Make a military order!"
Guo Wei was anxious at that time. He was also for the cause of revolution, and the chairman did not support him properly.
"Don't talk to me about this. One hundred thousand bullets. If you want it, you need it. If you don't, get out."
To be continued...
