Su Dinghe was originally the largest grain seller in Suzhou City, when the prefect and Wu Hao led the troops to forcibly invite him to the prefect's yamen, and asked Su Dinghe to join the government-run enterprise, Su Dinghe was a hundred unwilling in his heart, and felt that Li Hongfei wanted to seek his family business.

It wasn't until later that Su Dinghe learned from an official in the yamen who had a good relationship with him that this Li Menghui not only had Shang Fang's sword in his hand, but also the holy edict, and even the promise of the new Ministry of Commerce was also a fact.

At this time, Su Dinghe finally understood that Li Hongfei did not deceive them, plus Zhou Furen, Cao Hong and other business tycoons took the lead in joining the government-run enterprise.

Because other industries are mainly volume, the more things are sold, the more money they make, so these merchants, since joining the government-run enterprises and having orders from the government, have made a lot of money.

But Su Dinghe didn't get any benefits except for getting one, from the eight-rank sesame official, but kept losing money.

Food is different from other materials, especially in this year of famine, even if the grain is multiplied several times, there is no worry about buying and selling.

However, because it is a government-run enterprise, as a result, Li Hongfei placed an order, and Su Dinghe's family's grain became a military supply, not to mention that the price dropped to a very low level, and the grain in stock was also drastically reduced day by day.

Looking at several other grain stores, making a lot of money, listening to the insinuation and ridicule of his peers, Su Dinghe once wanted to give up the foundation of Suzhou and go to other places to develop, and the hatred for Li Hongfei in his heart is increasing day by day.

However, just three months ago, Su Dinghe's resentment completely dissipated, and he even wanted to treat Li Hongfei as a reborn parent.

In just a few months, Su Dinghe has made such a big change because of a bowl of instant noodles..........

Instant noodles are also considered food, and even when they were first invented, they were once set as marching rations by those officials of the Ministry of Commerce, and if it were not for the boycott of merchants from other provinces, Li Hongfei would not have been willing to put it into the private market so early.

Now because of the export of instant noodles, in just a few months, it has helped Su Dinghe earn a lot of cash, which is several times more than the income from selling rice before.

This is not the end, because Su Dinghe's food factory is about to prepare for all kinds of canned food, it is not difficult to imagine that the convenience of canned food, as well as the storage characteristics, will become the most sought-after food for people going to sea, and it will also become another money-making weapon in Su Dinghe's hands.

In order to cater to Li Hongfei and earn more money in the future, Su Dinghe has recently learned to be a real court official and began to learn to care about national affairs.

"Lao Su said this, as if we don't care about the world's major affairs, Master Li has also said before, everyone's division of labor is different, just like farmers farming, workers work, we businessmen, in addition to making money, more to earn military expenses for the imperial court, we are not good at war, but to raise military funds for the imperial court, to resist foreign humiliation, can also be regarded as solving problems for the imperial court. Instead of making nonsense all day long to those literati and doing nothing, it is better to be practical, and I, Cao Hong, will take out the profits of the match factory for three months to buy 5,000 flintlock pistols for our Suzhou New Army. ”

The people present are all human spirits, and at the same time, suppressing the opponent has long been perfected, Cao Hong first counted Su Dinghe, and then expressed his stance with practical actions.

The most practical way for businessmen to care about national affairs is to donate generously to raise money for the expansion of the imperial court, which was what Su Dinghe meant before.

It's just that he tried to shoot Li Hongfei's fart, but it turned out to be self-defeating, and Cao Hong seized the opportunity.

The three-month profit of the match factory, excluding the dividends to Li Hongfei and Song Yingxing, can have about 20,000 taels of silver, and the cost of a flintlock pistol is about three taels and five yuan.

20,000 taels of silver, just enough to buy 5,000 flintlock pistols.

As businessmen, there is not much else, that is, there is a lot of money, and they cannot interfere in the war on the front line, but they can use practical actions to support the army on the front line.

What's more, now the whole Jiangnan knows that Li Hongfei has made a military order to the emperor, and in terms of economy, according to the current momentum, there is no need to worry at all, the most important thing is in the military aspect.

In the military aspect, the military quality of soldiers is a major factor, and weaponry is an even more important factor.

The businessmen gained great benefits from the reform, and neither the government-run enterprises nor the private businessmen wanted to return to their original appearance after three years, so during this time, the businessmen in Suzhou were intentionally or unintentionally helping Li Hongfei in military training.

However, the things purchased by the Suzhou New Army were not only relatively cheap in price, but also did not dare to be sloppy in terms of quality, and the businessmen could not help but tie up their interests with Li Hongfei's Soviet Army.

"The food factory has been making canned food recently, and I can't spare much money, but I, Su Dinghe, hereby guarantee that the grain of the new army in Suzhou will be at cost price and will not make a penny."

Looking at the businessmen one by one, taking the opportunity to donate money, Su Dinghe was not far behind, and he was a killer as soon as he came up.

Since there is a food factory, Su Dinghe no longer looks down on the little money of food, so he simply goes back and forth, wins Li Hongfei's favor, and paves the way for the promotion of canned food in the near future.

As long as Li Hongfei can loosen his mouth, take out 20 percent of the canned food output, and export it overseas, he Su Dinghe will make a lot of money.

"Okay, okay, this one by one is the same as a fundraising conference, Suzhou's army, its own imperial court to raise soldiers, if you really have the heart, it is better to invest some money to repair several official roads in Suzhou. In this way, it not only benefits the local people, but also saves a lot of convenience for the future mobilization of the army. Li Hongfei refused everyone's fundraising.

The army belongs to the imperial court, and let a group of businessmen pay for the army, and this matter has a bad impact, although it has always been done like this before, but now that the yamen is not short of money, Li Hongfei does not need to owe this favor.

However, it is feasible to build bridges and pave roads.

Today's official roads are all loess roads, and when it rains, there are potholes everywhere, and the army artillery is heavy, and it is difficult to quickly transport it to the front line.

If it is a cold weapon unit, it is fine, but Li Hongfei's subordinates belong to an all-firearms unit, which is more dependent on logistics, even if these businessmen do not build roads, Li Hongfei plans to let the yamen pay for it.
