Shang Wen told Meng Tian about the plan during the meal, and Meng Tian did not ease up when he heard it. Because he didn't even think that things could be done this way. This time, not only can there be a fight, but there will also be money to be made. It's not a small amount of money. It's big money.

Meng Tian, in Shang Wen's words, is a cannon that goes off with ten thousand taels of gold.

Intensive preparations followed.

Shang Wen divided his subordinates into three groups. The first group has the largest number of people. Mainly procurement. The price can be a little higher, and the purchased things are varied, sulfur saltpeter charcoal, and some catkins. The price of a pound of catkins has been bought for three and a half taels. It's already a high price.

The second group is recruitment, which is divided into male and female workers. Male workers are mainly weapon builders. Female workers are mainly engaged in delicate work, such as grenade making. The salary is very favorable. Give one pound of corn a day, and then two and a half taels. Well done. If the quality is guaranteed, a contract shall be signed and a certain proportion of remuneration shall be given according to the quantity and quality. There is no limit to the number of people Shang Wen arranges, the more the better. But there must be a certain sense of responsibility. Otherwise, it won't be good to come in, so I'll send it away.

The third set is management. These people are to be under the direct management of Shangwen. Mainly demonstrate, supervise, manage, logistics and other affairs. Due to the relatively large number of people. Shang Wen transferred Meng Zhi directly to the hand. to participate in management.

After arranging these, Meng Tian hurriedly came in, and before the atmosphere eased, he said, "I have already done what you arranged." The King of Qin has already given the order. Give a large area on the north slope for you to use. Someone needs to send me a message, I have to choose soldiers. After saying that, Meng Tian turned around and left. Shangwen hasn't said anything else.

I'm still busy. But come to think of it, this is directly asking the royal family for silver to open an arsenal. The allocated military expenses can be directly transferred to their own pockets. When I told King Qin, I didn't say it at all.

Shang Wen is still so busy. In order to improve the efficiency of some productions, Shangwen had to install several additional steam engines. Then it's a matter of separating the drawings and improving them. I wanted to improve the rocket, but it seemed impossible. Time is tight. It can only be improved while producing.

Shang Wen finished the drawings. Just go to see the factory. The factory is not small. King Qin is interesting enough. The approved place is enough to fight with the Lantian camp. But there are no buildings, only meadows, woods. It's big enough, but there's nothing.

Shang Wen walked back and forth. I had to ask a few officers around me to call in the troops. Build a barracks according to the model of barracks. And it was assigned to the factory area. In this way, it was handed over to a general-like person of the Meng Jiajun to manage. These things. Shangwen believed he could finish it.

Then I came to the recruitment office in a hurry, good guy, I heard that the salary was good. The ones inside the city of Xianyang, those outside the city, and those in the surrounding counties and cities. All coming. As long as the hands are flexible, they are all recruited, and the treatment is too generous. These women are estimated to earn less than two and a half taels a week. A pound of corn. When Shang Wen heard the reaction, he realized that he was a little careless. Because, the remuneration given is already unusually high. But you can't go on like that. Forget it, just do it. Shang Wen ordered someone to arrange the vehicle. Transporting them to the North Slope. Meng Zhi will arrange for them to work. When leaving, I repeatedly asked my subordinates to come according to the plan of the factory. Don't transfer without permission.

Looking at the male workers again, the main thing is strength, and it is estimated that they are busy farming. Not many people came. But it's not less. The main thing is that it is well paid. Shang Wen saw that it was okay, and felt that these people had strength, mainly arranged in casting and other work. For some special craftsmen, such as carpenters, blacksmiths, and even some craftsmen who make potters and jewelry, they come. For these people, Shangwen treats them differently according to those who have work experience. Let them do management, or after learning, manage some heavy processes. I was busy with personnel in a hurry. Shang Wen went to look at the procurement again.

Procurement went terribly wrong. Soon the funds ran out. No funding, all this. It's hard to implement. There is no way. Shang Wen had to ask the king of Qin for silver. After all, purchases are not a small amount.

In the Qin Palace, the King of Qin was discussing spring ploughing with important ministers. Shang Wen asked to see him at this time. King Qin asked Zhao Gao to bring it in directly.

Shang Wen didn't go around the bend, and directly opened his mouth to ask for silver. King Qin looked a little helpless. I have never seen such a direct person as Shang Wen. King Qin was right when he thought about it. Without money, there is no material. There are no weapons. Batched. Shang Wen said at this time. There should be another financial director.

King Qin was also happy. Ask to find out and send someone to manage your finances. While supervising, it can be taken care of. That is, to be able to buy something. King Qin looked at the people around him. None of these ministers can be called. I just saw Zhao Gao. Arrange for Zhao Gao to manage these things.

Zhao Gao behaved very contrivedly. Shang Wen at least looked down on it. His mouth kept muttering, "King Qin's grace, I can't bear anything." "Shang Wen has a hundred in his heart, and a thousand are unwilling to cooperate with this big lady. The main thing is that there are some knots in my heart that I can't unravel. But the King of Qin insisted on this. There is no way.

Walked out of the Qin Palace. Zhao Gao hurriedly thanked Shangwen. Shang Wen was a little puzzled by this. But think about it, Zhao Gao's work ability is also quite strong. I arranged for him to go shopping. As for the amount of money. Shangwen takes that it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Funds give you a certain floating percentage. But there must be no quality problems. Zhao Gao hurriedly said, "Oh." "And give it up. Shang Wen wanted to say anything, but he didn't say it. I had to go on my own.

Return to your accommodation. Shang Wen began to eat, and it was already afternoon to eat. I'm done with it all. Shang Wencai thinks. A little tired. But think about having your own arsenal. And it was relieved. The war against the Xiongnu began. The giant chariot of the Qin State couldn't stop. Shang Wen believes. The King of Qin, who has received the benefits, will definitely use troops everywhere. Consumption of arms. It's definitely a big increase.

After eating. Shang Wen had to go to the arsenal to have a look. After all, the first day. Nothing is known.

Came to the Arsenal. There was no chaos like Shang Wen thought in his heart, and on the whole, it was relatively neat.

Take a look at it. The results are quite satisfactory. But there are still some problems. Like what. Some female workers are looking for speed. The quality is seriously unqualified. Such a mistake. Shang Wen absolutely does not allow it. Outright dismissal. There is also the fact that there are too many female workers. Shangwen directly eliminated a batch according to this method. But it's still too much. I had to leave it at that. But what is made is a part. There is no finished product. On the first day, uneven materials were the main reason.

There are many questions. Shang Wen felt that there should be a few people in charge of the work. Dig people. Dig people directly. Ask Sima Chang for someone. People are from official families. Whatever. This piece is about to burn the eyebrows. Besides, that wasn't for King Qin. Direct Dignitives. I really can't ask King Qin.
