After walking around this circle, it was already evening, which shows the scale of the Xiaopang Group. Han Yi, Su Dingfang, and Yang Sixun came to Tong Er's office and sat down.

This office is more magnificent than Brother Xiong's office in Chang'an, because the workshop is big, so everything is big.

After a while, Tong Er walked in with a few maids carrying three trays.

"Brother Xiaoyi, this is the meal you want."

"Put it down."

"Yes."

Tong Er immediately ordered the maid to put down the tray, and Han Yi, Su Dingfang, and Yang Sixun each put a tray in front of them.

But I saw that there was a rectangular wooden box on top of the tray, and it was covered, so I didn't know what it was.

"By the way, what are Chubby and Ono doing?"

Han Yi asked suddenly.

Tong Er smiled: "Brother Fat and Brother Ono communicated with our chef here in the kitchen, oh, Brother Fat also let me tell you that he ate over there." ”

"This foodie."

Han Yi shook his head and smiled, and said again: "Okay, you go down." ”

"Yes."

After Tong Er and the others retreated, Han Yi said to Li Ji and Yang Sixun: "Two, this is the standard food I prepared for our soldiers, you can taste it and give some evaluation, because this has not been finalized yet." ”

Su Dingfang and Yang Sixun glanced at each other, and then uncovered the wooden cover, and bursts of aroma suddenly came to their noses.

There are eight kinds of dishes alone, including cured meat, pickled vegetables, seaweed soup, and some small fat vegetables, although there are many types, but the amount is relatively small, each is only a little bit, but the two staple foods are very large, namely seaweed rice balls and small fat cakes.

Su Dingfang was stunned for a while, and said, "You mean, our army can eat these on the battlefield?" "It's almost time to live a well-off life.

Han Yi said with a smile: "Of course it's not so rich, there are two set meals in it, one is based on small fat cakes, and the other is based on rice balls, I take half of each, and the portion is so much." ”

Yang Sixun said: "But it's still incredible. ”

Han Yi smiled: "Let's try it first." ”

The three of them picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

This Su Dingfang has eaten a lot of hardship, and he is not pampered, but he eats with relish. Although Yang Sixun is from an aristocratic background and is pampered, but the little fat vegetables are used by people to trade, they are not delicious, and they can't be sold, the more he eats, the more surprised he becomes, where is this military ration.

"Delicious! Delicious! ”

Su Dingfang praised again and again, "Especially this little fat cake, it looks similar to Hu cake, but it is much more delicious, and there are dried fruits in it, which is really delicious." ”

Yang Sixun also said: "This seaweed soup is so fresh!" ”

Soon, the three of them finished eating, because it was not a big meal, just a bento.

Han Yi wiped his mouth, put down the veil, and asked, "What do you two think?" ”

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "If the front-line soldiers can eat this kind of meal, then our army will be invincible." "It's impeccable for them.

Han Yi smiled and said: "General Su has won the award, I am only an auxiliary, and it depends on the general if I am invincible!" ”

Yang Sixun couldn't believe it: "Han Shangshu, is this true?" Can the front-line soldiers really eat this kind of food? ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course, the little fat cakes and pickles are for the soldiers to carry at any time, and the rice balls and seaweed soup are eaten after the army is stationed." ”

Yang Sixun shook his head and said: "But I still don't understand, since ancient times, marching and fighting, if this grain and grass can keep up, the soldiers are not hungry, it is already good, and the same is true for my Datang, but it has only been a few years, and I can eat this kind of food, and our Datang's national strength has not grown so fast." ”

He was very discouraged, because he had also been a grain officer, and how to change someone was completely different, which really hurt his self-esteem.

Su Dingfang also frowned and said, "This is really incomprehensible." ”

Neither of them could understand why, although Datang's national strength was growing rapidly, it was impossible to reach this point!

Han Yi smiled: "Didn't I say this, the key is the businessman." The merchants invested a lot of money, so the court had the spare time to improve the logistics. ”

Yang Sixun said: "But since this kind of practice is good, why has no one ever thought about it before?" ”

Han Yi shrugged and said, "Even if someone thought of it before, what if it happened? Without such a big workshop, you can't even satisfy the soldiers of the three armies with money! All this comes from the development of commerce, because the development of commerce has led to a shortage of manpower in the country, which has led to the opportunity for merchants to cooperate with the imperial court, and with the development of commerce, merchants are rich, and they have enough funds to buy food.

In addition, if it is done by the imperial court alone, the loss must be very large, because the food of the imperial court is public, and it is a little more to eat, and those grain officials will not rack their brains to think about how to save money, they only have one goal, that is, to arrive on time and complete the task. There was a lot of loss in transportation, and of course the soldiers had to shrink their clothes and diet. But if it is handed over to businessmen, they will calculate the cost very carefully, and try their best to save costs, and it is a group of businessmen, and this cost is shared, in fact, it is not much. And the court only needs to negotiate the price with them, how much grain you transport, how much I will give.

I have always thought that the imperial court does not need to take care of everything, as long as it encourages production and ensures that the market is big enough, what you want can be purchased directly, or in other words, directly ordered, why bother for this, and go to great lengths to requisition grain and grass from all over the country, it is too troublesome, let me do it, and I can't do it. ”

Yang Sixun shook his head and said: "No, no, this businessman always has to make money doing business, and the cost should be higher, if the court spends money to buy it, it will definitely not be cost-effective." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "But you have to include the freight, at the current price of grain, it is really a loss of how much is transported, merchants buy it on the spot, and the imperial court collects grain and grass from all over the country." Also, in the past, when we fought wars, the soldiers had nothing to gain, and the combat effectiveness certainly did not reach the limit. This money can make the devil grind, if you win the battle, give them bonuses, give them women, this combat power will definitely soar. However, as long as we can win the battle and occupy the resources and manpower of the other party, we can trade these to the merchants, which is to feed the war with war, of course, first of all, the business must be developed, so that the merchants have enough strength to trade with the imperial court. ”

Can you still play like this?

Su Dingfang and Yang Sixun really didn't expect that businessmen were helpful in war!

In fact, the most fundamental reason, Han Yi did not say, is that he fought in the past and occupied the territory of the other party, and the beneficiaries were the officials who ruled here, or the county king. It is estimated that the imperial court will not look down on this land, and will not tax it, and the Tang Dynasty rarely taxes foreigners, and it will be a tribute every year. But the key is that the officials did not pay anything in it, which is equivalent to the court giving it to them for nothing, you are self-sufficient, just don't trouble me, but Han Yi's approach is tantamount to depriving the officials of the interests of the local people, and taking this part of the benefits to trade with merchants, Goguryeo will be managed by merchants in the future, and the people here will serve the merchants.

If this account is calculated, the court and businessmen are all big winners, Han Yi doesn't say it thoroughly, and they can't think of this, so they always feel that this is a bit fake, they won't calculate this account, so if they make a fuss, the national strength seems to have risen dozens of times.

Han Yi said: "This is just the tip of the iceberg, there are still many workshops that are producing strategic materials for our army, such as the beauty of freedom, they are producing clothes, shoes and socks for soldiers, and so on." We can go back tomorrow and see what else you need. ”

"I'll have to check it out."

Yang Sixun felt that the things he had done before were the stupidest things in the world, and at the same time, he also thought that there was really nothing to go to the warehouse, and this was the key.

In the next few days, Han Yi and them went to inspect the beauty of freedom, the wooden workshop, the tooth workshop, and so on, each workshop is in full production, all of them are war materials, all the daily necessities of the soldiers of the three armies are in it, and the goods are piled up, because Han Yi has been preparing for this for a long time.

This is not a matter of accounting, but the improvement of productivity, the emergence of handicraft workshops, will improve productivity to a new realm, but before that, the sales of goods are scattered, only the people of Chang'an feel more profoundly, everyone does not care much, this time concentrated production, that really made Su Dingfang and their generals deeply feel the horror of this person's workshop, the previous family workshop is not the same.

Today they went to the dock again, this dock is more than twice as large as that of Chang'an, and the ships built here are all going to go to sea.

"Han Shangshu, you have also seen that with such a large dock, it takes a lot of time for a ship, which is different from the ships in the Central Plains. And we not only have to build cargo ships, but also warships, and the requirements of this warship are even higher, if there is a little problem, Captain Dugu will have to train my people half to death. ”

Zou Fengchi, who just came today, said to Han Yi with a look of grievance.

Because Han Yi counted him down in front, the enemy has a thousand warships, and we only have one hundred and fifty ships, which is almost ten times worse, and your efficiency is also slow.

Han Yi snorted: "This requires you to innovate and try your best to improve efficiency, the supply of merchants can't keep up with the needs of customers, is it still the customer's fault, is there a business you do this?" If you can't do it, you tell me, I can change people! ”

Zou Fengchi hurriedly said: "Don't don't, it's --- it's my fault, please rest assured, I will definitely find a way to improve efficiency." ”

Han Yi said again: "You have to remember, this business is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, the friendship between us will only make me think of you first, think of you first, and give you a chance, but our friendship has not yet reached the point of husband and wife, each other is the only one of each other, if you are given a chance, if you don't do well, I will change people." ”

"Yes, yes, I know!" Zou Fengchi wiped his sweat and nodded straightly.

Han Yi said: "We can let workers go from soaking in water to building ships on land, so I believe we can still do better." ”

He is not joking, in fact, this is how the steam engine came out, no one deliberately invented it, any invention is based on demand, that is, because it cannot meet the needs of the market, so it continues to break through, scientists just deduce the principle. Businessmen are not satisfied with the status quo, businessmen must continue to innovate, this is also the characteristics of businessmen, businessmen who are content with the status quo, will be eliminated, this is the unchanging truth.

Su Dingfang, Yang Sixun and others on the side saw it, and gradually understood what Han Yi said, these are two completely different models. If the court does it, the court does not pay the wages, it is to conscript the people as labor, and how fast and good it is, it can only oppress and exploit, and the people who manage it can only be beaten with whips, not that he is ruthless, but that he only has a whip in his hand, which is why Emperor Yang of Sui built ships, and thousands of people died, but businessmen are different, you take my money, I am qualified to make requests, you can recruit more people, if you want to leave this money, you have to make a breakthrough in technology, you can do it yourself.

Several people came to a cargo ship that had just been launched, Su Dingfang stood on the deck, looking at such a huge cargo ship, and couldn't help but sigh: "How many carriages and manpower can this cargo ship withstand!" It's a pity that this shipping is difficult to coordinate with the land, and there are certain risks, otherwise, relying on this shipping can reduce a lot of burden for our army. ”

Han Yi Zhengse said: "I also talked about this problem with Sikong before, and I think it is still feasible." ”

Su Dingfang sighed and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Han Yi said: "If we can eliminate the opponent's sailors, then our warships will be able to sail along the Goguryeo coastline unimpeded, as long as we understand the coast of Goguryeo clearly in advance and set up several assembly points, our cargo ships can arrive near the assembly point first, as long as our army can occupy the assembly point, with smoke as a signal, our ships can arrive on time and supply grain and grass." ”

Yang Sixun frowned and said, "But now it's too late to send someone to find out the terrain." ”

Han Yi said: "I have already sent people, because Goguryeo still has trade contacts with our country, and merchants can help us." ”

Businessman again? Yang Sixun felt that he was not engaged in logistics, but in business, and the role of this businessman was far greater than he imagined, this was never done before, such a huge army, such an important battle, and even entrusted the most important grain and grass to the merchant, if it wasn't for the stone grain that had been transported to the warehouse, he would really stop Han Yi from doing this.

"Even so, I think it's too risky." Su Dingfang frowned and said: "Once we don't take the assembly point, our grain and grass will not be able to be helped, then our army will be in a dilemma, I think Goguryeo will definitely do its best to compete with us for this assembly point after learning all this." ”
