Chapter 268: Orders Soar
The war in Europe has intensified and has spread to West Asia. In order to ensure safety, a large number of people had to be moved into the city to live temporarily.
The problem is that people can come in, but crops cannot. Large areas of crop failure, some plundered by Maudun's army, and most of them uncultivated, were too common in Europe to be eradicated.
No one cultivates food crops, and the result is food shortage. The food reserves of the empires are taken out for emergencies, but they are a drop in the bucket. It is simply not possible to meet the needs of a large number of people.
For this reason, the order fell into the hands of the Qin Empire in the West Asia City, and the continuous quantity, all of a sudden, the Qin Empire was also unable to deliver grain, food and other materials to the West Asia City.
Kui Che ran in and said: "My lord, countries need a lot of food, clothing, meat products, dairy products and other materials, and the price has risen by 10%, but it cannot be supplied for the time being. ”
To be honest, Ye Tong didn't expect that the situation would change like this. Originally, I thought it was just an internal war between Europeans and West Asians, so that the Qin Empire was really good at making money.
Now that Maudon has stepped in, the situation has changed. There is a food shortage in the whole European country, the supply is certain, and everyone loves to make money!
"Lao Kuai, leave Mr. Wu Shi to stay here, I'm afraid the two of us are going home!"
"Lord, what do you mean?"
Hehe!
"What do you mean, aren't you going to have a lot of food orders coming up? The next step will definitely increase, the war in Europe will not stop in a day or two, it is estimated that there is a process, let's go back and arrange it. Continue to organize the production of large quantities of goods for the people of Europe! ”
In fact, during the war years, the most profitable thing was not arms, but materials. After all, no matter how large the amount of arms is, there is a certain amount, and the lack of materials must be procured.
"Okay!"
"Lao Kuai, listening to your tone, it seems that you don't want to go home!"
"Lord, don't be funny! Who wouldn't want to go home early! ”
"By the way, how did that oil go after it was extracted?"
"My lord, after the advent of oil exploitation, the smelter was also built. Now it is a daily shipment of crude oil to the Empire, as well as smelted diesel and gasoline. The by-products were left behind, and roads were built, leaving nothing behind. ”
The purpose of occupying the city of West Asia is to extract oil, otherwise who will go all the way to West Asia to build the city if they are full.
There is no way, the demand for Imperial oil is getting bigger and bigger, and a large amount of oil has to be transported to the Empire from the southern continent and southern islands every day to meet the needs of the Imperial smelter.
The extraction of oil in West Asia has alleviated the situation of oil shortage in the empire, and oil resources, in fact, are not only smelted from diesel, gasoline and other materials, but also important chemical raw materials.
Not to mention anything else, plastic products are inseparable from oil, and the light textile industry is inseparable from oil. With the development of the economy of the Qin Empire, the demand for fiber products is increasing, and the demand for oil will definitely increase.
"Not bad! Really good! ”
"My lord, how long do you say the war in Europe will last?"
"Huh? It's really hard to predict, after all, there are more than 2 million iron horsemen under Maoton's command, and if it is increased, the fire pit in Europe will continue to spread, and the war will not be extinguished in a few years. ”
"Great!"
"Lao Kuai, the people of Europe are living in dire straits, how can you say that it is too good?"
Hehe!
"My lord, the longer the war in Europe, the more money we can make."
Burst!
Ye Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Where have we built the railway? What is the situation of the railway from Chang'an to the western border? ”
"I heard that it has been opened to traffic, and there are only hundreds of kilometers left that have not been opened to traffic."
Once the Chang'an-Western Railway was opened, the Qin Empire's supplies would be able to be transported in large quantities, and the demand would be met without the need to travel by water.
However, the railroad could only meet the needs of rest, but Rathi and Rome could not guarantee it, and they had to take the sea route. Once the cross-border traffic is opened, the situation is complicated.
Not to mention, the people of Anxi certainly did not want the railway to lead directly to their territory, and no one was worried about a large-scale sneak attack by the Qin army. In fact, it was a superfluous worry, and the Qin army did not think about annexing and resting at all.
"Then let's leave tomorrow!"
"Alright! Arrange the work of the lowly position. ”
The next day, Ye Tong and Kuaiche returned to the empire by airship with their internal guards. Stopping and stopping along the way, we arrived in Chang'an two days later.
When you arrive in Chang'an, the changes are really big, and the streets are full of cars. The buses have also been replaced with internal combustion engines, which no longer emit smoke.
When I returned to the General's Mansion, I saw Yu Ji and Xu Cheng at home, hugging each other, before sitting down to talk.
Originally, I thought that I would go home and rest for a few days, and then call someone to come and have a meal together. However, no one was willing to wait at all, and starting the afternoon of the next day, the little sister of the cabinet, Xiao He, Qin Hui, Cao Shen, Zhang Liang, Cheng Yu and others rushed to the general's mansion one after another.
After the little sister came in, she immediately teased when she saw Ye Tong: "General, why are you unhappy to see Miss Ben!" ”
Hehe!
"That's there! You are now the prime minister of the empire, in control of an empire, who dares to show you a face! ”
"General, don't be funny! Others don't know, don't you know your own people either? ”
"Little sister, to be honest, you did a really good job! Much better than General Ben expected. ”
It has been three months since Xiao Taimei took office, and she has not only rectified the problem of work style in the officialdom, but also adjusted some economic development and avoided large-scale blind expansion of reproduction, which has indeed played an important role.
Hee-hee!
"Thanks for the compliment!"
"It's really a very good job, and General Ben never tells lies. Good is good, bad is bad, there is no need to cover people's eyes and ears. ”
"General, the main thing is that you are in West Asia City, helping the empire get a large number of orders, not only orders for the arms business, but also more civilian products. The rise of the empire is really inseparable from the support of generals. ”
Opening up ocean trade was the first policy to be formulated. Even if Ye Tong doesn't go, there will be others who will. Sooner or later, ocean trade will be launched, which Ye Tong believes. Ye Tong will not take all the credit on himself.
"Little sister! Wars raged in Europe and West Asia, and more than 2 million iron horsemen were killed in Europe, making the whole of Europe a mess.
At present, the countries of Europe and West Asia have ordered large quantities of food, grain, dairy products and other products from the empire. This is a great opportunity, and General Ben feels that the Cabinet should immediately work out the rules accordingly. ”
"General, do you mean that this war in Europe will last for a long time?"
"That's right! After all, more than 2 million iron horsemen are not easy to fight, although we have sold a large number of arms to European countries, but all of them are obsolete goods, and it is difficult to pose a threat to Maudun. ”
Hee-hee!
"General, that old ghost of Maodun, I'm afraid he wants to fight the empire, right?"
is really worthy of being a top concubine, and her IQ is really high. All of a sudden, it is possible that Maudun may take revenge on the Empire. Who let the Empire beat Maudon so badly.
"It's possible, after all, our hatred with Maudun is really great. There is no doubt that it is really possible to make a comeback. However, the Qin army could not solve the problem with the saber in Mao Dun's hand, and if he wanted to fight back the carbine, he must have strength. ”
"General, what kind of policies should the cabinet formulate to support the development of enterprises? After all, there are not many such opportunities, and once you miss them, it is really difficult to make a fortune! ”
Hehe!
"What Europeans are most in need of is food, and the last thing that the empire lacks is food. The cabinet should issue an export standard for all kinds of food, but in fact, there is no standard. It can't be as strict as the products sold in the empire, and the implementation can be considered as appropriate. However, it must be clearly stated and marked that it is an export product and cannot be sold in China, and it will be severely punished once it is found. ”
The food safety and drug safety of the Qin Empire are very strict, once the bottom line is touched, the sincere family is ruined, and no one dares to touch the bottom line.
It was under such strictness that the safety of food and medicine in the empire was guaranteed. Black-hearted businessmen, manufacturers, unscrupulous businessmen, etc., were all thrown into civilized schools. Not only did the main person in charge throw it in, but his property was confiscated, and his family members were also sanctioned.
"General, once it is released, the safety of the medicines and food sold by the empire cannot be guaranteed, do you really want to open it?"
Indeed, the Cabinet was worried that that would happen.
"It should not be a big problem, the key is to supervise in place, so that the food and drug supervision often inspects and supervises the manufacturers, and verifies the stores, and once it happens, sanctions will be imposed immediately."
"Okay!"
Ye Tong took the employment information, handed it to the little sister and said, "Take a look first, this is the next order just now, most of them are food, medicine, grain and other materials." ”
Yes!
"That's a lot!"
Not only is the number of orders amazing, but also the variety.
Hehe!
"Little sister, this is just the beginning, what a lot! As the war in Europe progresses, the demand for materials will increase significantly. Although the empire is not short of food, it must do a good job of encouraging agricultural production to ensure that the price of grain in the empire is stable. ”
The little sister nodded, looked through it again, and found that there was an item of arms, which shocked the little sister so much that her mouth was wide open, and she couldn't close it for a long time.
The order is really big!
For front-loading flintlock pistols alone, 2 million with 1 billion rounds of ammunition were ordered throughout Europe; 5,000 75-mm guns with 1,000,000 shells.
The battleships are mainly ordered by the Niu Niu family, and other countries have not ordered them for the time being. After all, the Niu Niu family was not harmed by the Maudun Iron Cavalry, and they were the ones who buried their wealth.
"General, with so many munitions, can the empire's production capacity really keep up?"
Hehe!
"Industrial products, as much as you want, is nothing more than a matter of adding a few production lines. Besides, when the people of Europe can produce flintlock pistols, we can make a lot of money by selling the production line. ”
"Alright! General, is there anything else the cabinet needs to help with, apart from formulating some policies and sending relevant investigators? ”
"Publicity! Let the imperial news media do a lot of propaganda and tell the people what is going on in Europe? Anticipate the timing of the war so that the people can adjust the industrial structure. In particular, it is necessary to report and forecast the products that are needed in Europe. ”
"Okay!"
