The production of fruit comes from the demand of the market, Handan has become a large city with a population of more than one million, and its urban population is basically the same as that of Luoyang, because when both sides calculate, they must count the nearby residential areas. Handan was naturally fair, as they built a variety of functional zones to make their city look well-organized from the start. The same is true for Luoyang.

Such a large city with a population of one million people needs a lot of food, as well as a variety of vegetables. And the amount is staggering. Due to the season, the supply of fruit is not very stable. But canned fruit can meet this demand to the greatest extent. The demand for such a city of one million people is very high.

This naturally stimulates their further development, and then a large number of fruits appear in front of others, but before that, there had never been specialized fruit production. Farmers, the countryside just see fruit as a sideline, not the main business. However, under the regulation of the market, some of them began to actively become their main business, and the money they earned was not much less than simply planting grain, on the contrary, many people also made a fortune.

In the suburbs of Handan, there are special vegetable greenhouses. They use larger glass, of course. The glass is not of the best kind, tinkering, and it also requires the use of iron frames. It costs quite a bit. However, they can produce a variety of vegetables on a large scale in winter, which can meet the needs of Handan to the greatest extent, and it is said that some of them are exported to Luoyang quickly. Because the emperor also did not have fresh vegetables to eat. Winter becomes a situation of food scarcity.

Agriculture is not only becoming more specialized, but also the large-scale intensive cultivation of wheat, beans, and corn has brought about a rapid increase. At the same time, urbanization requires more diverse food.

They don't just need to be well-fed, they need to be well-fed. This requires a wide variety of ingredients. In many areas of Jizhou, farms, chickens and ducks, as well as a large amount of edible pork have been established. sheep in order to meet people's demand for meat. Some also breed cattle and deer. Because their meat quality is better.

And these are just the first levels. There is also the second level, the processing of food. Meat is not easy to preserve for a long time, in addition to making jerky, they also need to make more canned food, canned food was only military food in the early days, many food military factories began to transform into civilian factories, they either sell technology, or large-scale acquisition and production and resale. There are a lot of people who sell to them, Luoyang, the capital division, is a big market, and there is also the Black Mountain Army in the north, and their leader is very greedy. The most important food can be kept for a long time, knowing that being stationed on the top of the hill is very unbearable.

Food processing plants are made in such a situation.

In order to encourage production, the Republican Army sold shares in many military food factories to attract private capital to join, and the military only had to adopt competitive procurement. Because their products are starting to multiply. It can meet their various needs. However, canned food still stays in glass, and ceramic cans, and there is still no big breakthrough in preservation materials.

After all, this can maximize cost savings, which is a very beneficial outcome for them.

The factories of the Republican Army are quietly undergoing some changes, they started from simply accepting military orders in the past, and gradually transformed into accepting civilian orders, and then striving for military orders, because fighting for military orders can bring greater profits, as well as propaganda, the types of food began to become more, although the number of factories in this period was much smaller than at the beginning, but most of them became small and medium-sized enterprises with certain strength, so that some enterprises can meet their military needs to the greatest extent, as well as the needs of civilian food. That's where they have the most advantage.

And in terms of large factories. The number of civilian orders received by the military factories began to increase, and at the same time, some workshops split off and became a separate enterprise, and the purpose of the military factories in doing so was mainly to revitalize their assets, obtain working capital, and at the same time reduce their own burden.

For example, wheelbarrow hubs, the current production of horse-drawn carriages, the demand for wheelbarrow hubs has been greatly reduced, but they still have a certain production in remote areas, if large factories continue to produce, not only time-consuming, but also occupy workshop production man-hours. At the same time, they handed over this business to some small factories, or split into related departments, so that their situation is much better, because their situation can meet their needs to the greatest extent. Improve the competitiveness of enterprises.

In order to get these orders and maintain the vitality of enterprises, some small enterprises have to develop other markets, such as the vast southern region, Sili, Qingzhou, Youzhou and other places. These areas simply cannot afford to buy large livestock such as cattle and horses, and at the same time, the local traffic situation is very unoptimistic. Unfortunately, their ox wheels are made of wood, which is expensive and difficult to make. It takes a professional carpenter to make it. Not only that, but the service life is also extremely limited, and it is difficult to guarantee that the situation of their use can become favorable, but the wheels produced by the Republican Army, although the price is two percent high, but the service life can be increased more than twice, the load capacity has increased a lot, strong, durable, if you calculate in the long run, they still use such wheels, of course. They also had to buy bearings separately, because without such a thing, their factories simply could not be active.

Not only agriculture is improving, but also industry is improving, and the vitality of enterprises is increasing, and the purpose of mergers is to increase the competitiveness of enterprises. Because the days of relying solely on military orders are over. If you want to develop more and better, you have to respond to more new situations. In short, the situation for the IRA is getting a little better.

The factory has such a foundation, and Shangwu still needs to fight for some.

"If the trading company is expanded, it would be better to be able to accept some military orders, and we can meet their logistical supply needs, so that our situation can also be better." Shang Wu said.

"Dong Zhuo's army has a lot of problems, but the biggest problem is their logistical supply, not only the local generals don't pay attention to such a problem, but the new army of the imperial court in Xiyuan will not notice such a problem, but if they have money, we can do this, and at the same time we can stimulate our factories to produce." Jia Xu said.

Jia Xu obviously saw the benefits of helping the local warlords, and the military order, although the civilian order is very meaningful, is a kind of market demand, but this cannot meet the needs of some large enterprises, and the growth of civilian demand is a slow process, not all at once. And the IRA's own military orders are also slowly decreasing, because the IRA cannot fight all the time. In that case, it will pose a great threat to their economy and cause a very unbalanced development, and such a development will lead to a very unfavorable situation in their situation, and if you want to change such a situation, you must have a completely new kind of development.

Other regions, as well as the military orders of the warlords, could obviously meet such a need of the IRA, and if necessary, the IRA could also send certain military supplies to the designated area, which would also stimulate the development of the IRA's transportation industry. This is a rare situation.

"Such an order is not easy to fight for at the beginning, after all, some local military generals are under great criticism, they are under more pressure, coupled with the opposition of their Emperor Majesty, the situation may not be very favorable to us at first, but we still need to do such a thing, after all, this is still very important to us." Shang Wu said.

"Yes, I very much agree with this, after all, it is difficult to find such a result in such a situation, and if it were not for the fact that we need such a situation, we would not have noticed such a point at all." Jia Xu said.

"For example, to win Dong Zhuo's order, you need to pay a certain amount of financial support, otherwise, they simply don't have the ability to buy so many goods, such a large number of goods will crush all their behaviors at once, and we must not let them continue to do so." Shang Wu said.

It is difficult to secure such an order. First of all, they have to make the other side pay a lot of risk to seek cooperation, borrowing money ** a large amount of military supplies.

The second is that the military order must be able to see such an effect as soon as possible, which requires the third point, the time for the delivery of materials must be fast, and the effect can be seen quickly, because only by doing so, can they compete with the imperial court. Otherwise, they are the second rebel, but this is a bit difficult for the Republican Army, which is the risk after borrowing money. How to benefit, how to recoup more benefits.

No profit can not afford to be early. Now that they see that they can make money, they need to become feasible in some situations like this. The specific mode of operation, they also need specific operation, because only with the correct operation, the Hungry Tiger Army can win more military orders.

Overseas military orders are very important to the Republican Army, because this is an important measure to accelerate and speed up their industrial development, Shang Wu is very aware of the importance of these stimulus, when the military is transferred to the civilian market, the loss of too many military orders is very large on the profits of the enterprise, as well as the influence. If you get it, you can stimulate their benefits.
