Chapter 254: The Proving Ground of Blood and Fire
The development of Beiping City, this must be the order of Emperor Wu to build, otherwise there are too many families to say that even those ordinary people will be jealous.
2,000 a month, more than 20,000 a year, and 30,000 operating numbers.
How much was a treasury in the first year of the year?
There is no doubt that it is definitely not a lot, tens of millions of taels of treasury input is the big head, and the treasury input in this year will definitely not be high, and at this time they don't have much other input, most of them rely on taxes, Li Hang also understands this, so many times they are trying to make money first.
Not to mention that it is just a way to make money, which is very particular.
One of the main reasons why business is despised today is the issue of taxation.
What is the big problem with taxes?
The most important issue of taxation is not a simple one.
At this time, the reason why Li Hang wants to vigorously develop this kind of business, does not shy away from the so-called businessman is a cheap business, most of the big families want money, but they want to make money crookedly, as if this Ying Yun is the same, they all want money, but when they really want money, they will tilt their heads to make money, why?
Because they don't want others to find out that they are in business.
After all, the real reason why there are no businesses and no treachery in these years is because logistics has not risen.
After the establishment of the logistics system that can be received in the whole country in three days, not to mention that anything is rare, even if it is on the other side of the ocean, you add some freight, and some people buy it on behalf of others.
But in ancient times, it was completely different, not only did not there be a good logistics system, but the cost was too high.
"To build this kind of military fortress is not only to have enough water transport capacity, but also to have strategic capital, you must know that this place in Beiping City is not only full of capacity, but also able to radiate and effectively supplement other places, as long as this place continues to have the families of soldiers moving in, this city will become the largest source of troops in the north. When the time comes, the border army guarding the frontier is guarding the family. Li Hang said while analyzing.
In fact, in history, such as the legendary Yang family general, as well as many famous families of famous generals guarding the border gates, are actually this kind of routine.
Ying Yun, who was drinking tea, didn't speak, but he secretly called it bad in his heart. This approach is very powerful, but it is easy for people to criticize it for supporting the army and respecting itself.
"It's not all!" Li Hang said as he continued to point to the border section on the map.
"The frontier is also the best testing ground for tactics and weapons, and there have always been wars or low-intensity conflicts at the border gates, and this kind of conflict is the best tactical testing ground, such as the experiments and trial tactics of your new army, you can find your own shortcomings through this low-intensity conflict, and take advantage of this opportunity to train troops by the way. The same weapons are the same. ”
This practice is actually very common. You see that the countries of the Imperial Age will start selling a lot of weapons everywhere.
On the one hand, it is to make money and make more money to develop new weapons, or to sell some surplus weapons for upgrading, and there is another very important reason, that is, to be a weapon testing site.
For example, the Gatling machine gun in Japan's civil war, and the ships of China and Japan in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, all of them are the technological crystallization of the war equipment of various countries, but in fact they are all test sites used by various countries to conduct wars.
What is the experimental method?
Sell weapons to you and use your war and blood to validate his design ideas and design ideas.
For example, the collision angle of the Qing army and navy, such as various other immature concepts.
That's the benefit of technology leadership.
It's impossible for you to imitate this weapon anyway, so they can do it with confidence.
At that time, as long as he can refine the steel, he can sell all the deteriorated weapons to other countries, or sell them to those families and let them colonize overseas.
The proceeds from the sale of this weapon can also be used to upgrade the weapons of soldiers, especially the pro-army in the hands of the Emperor.
"The military fortress also has a very important role, that is, as a nail rooted here, no matter how the battle situation changes, Beiping City can become a nail rooted here, stop the enemy, prevent it from passing, and then transport it from the rear with a passionate army!"
After Li Hang finished speaking, he pointed to the location of Tianjin Port at this time.
"I am going to build a wharf in this place, and I am also going to build a fishing village, and at the same time reserve navigation and shipbuilding talents, even if something happens in the north, the soldiers of Jinling City can come over in half a month, as long as the sea passage is opened, the security of the north can be easily solved. As long as the problem of troop projection is solved, even if they have any problems and attack here, we can still mobilize a large army to fight them in a short time, how long can the people on the grassland last? As long as it's not an avalanche-like rout, we can fight back! ”
The most important thing in dealing with this kind of country that feeds war with war is not to coax it!
Just like Japan at the beginning, tighten their belts to fight, the purpose is to get reparations from Daqingguo.
With the reparations, he can develop more things, get more armies, and then fight deeper.
It is estimated that some of those who have been in power in these years also understand this truth, but there will always be people who do this kind of thing because of various interests, let go of the development of those nomadic herds, and give them land and compensation.
Shaking his head, Ying Yun smiled wryly and waved his hand. "Li Hang, it's better to be careful about this kind of thing, if I really recruit troops at this time, it is estimated that they will attack me with their own dignity, especially my second uncle, if he really wants to attack me, I estimate that my father will be very uncomfortable."
Uncomfortable is for sure, this kind of royal competition is absolutely cruel.
"Don't worry, at this time, you don't need to simply arm the new army, or even send weapons to your imperial grandfather, although this forging method is a secret, but at this time, you can directly send this weapon in batches and batches, not to mention your father at that time, even your imperial grandfather will be impressed by you." At this time, as long as there is enough money to buy some coal ore, you can rely on this coal ore to increase steel production, and as long as the coking coal production is completed, it will be easy to do.
"As for those people's worries, or rumors. As long as you can send a large number of advanced weapons and equipment to the army under His Majesty's control, who dares to doubt you, even if someone doubts, I also have accounts here, how much a workshop can produce in a year, how much material comes in a month, this can be calculated, the rumors are not terrible, but these are not terrible. Li Hang didn't continue, but chose to take out another picture.
The construction of Beijing City, the Forbidden City, can actually be regarded as another kind of inner city.
Li Hang naturally couldn't come up with this kind of magnificent city construction, but he had to come up with the design drawings of the fortifications.
"It's a kind of blueprint for a defensive wall, with a winch for lifting things, and a place for archers to shoot arrows, but also for those below to throw rolling wood and boiling water. As long as you make a slight improvement on the original basis, the defense of the city wall can be increased exponentially. ”
