"Oh, Xu Lie, what you said is true?" Hearing that there were still two things to do, Yan Qiutang asked excitedly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"But what I want to tell you is that women must be at least 18 years old to join the army, which is the same age as men join the army; Before the age of eighteen, you must study hard! Xu Lie's "but" immediately extinguished Yan Qiutang's newly ignited hope.

"Xu Lie, you lie! Woo...... "Sure enough, as soon as Xu Lie's finished speaking, Yan Qiutang scolded and ran away crying.

Xu Lie watched Yan Qiutang run into the distance without speaking. This, it seems that it is difficult to persuade anything. Although some of Xu Lie's concepts have also changed, and Yan Qiutang has become more beautiful, no matter what, it is impossible for Xu Lie to say anything before the other party turns eighteen.

"South, there's news you need to pay attention to." Back home, Xu De reminded.

"What's the news?" Xu Lie asked rhetorically. Perhaps, the cheap dad is not very good in the military, but in terms of government affairs and knowing people, Xu Lie is really not as good as his father.

"Lu Xiang came back and said that the counties you are planning to expand are a little loosened in the hearts of the counties."

"That's a good thing." Xu Lie said.

"But this is Lu Xiang's credit." Xu De said.

"Hehe, as long as it's his credit, I won't lose his credit." Xu Lie was basically not too worried about a businessman like Lu Xiang. Chang Kaishen was disgraced by the Kong and Song families, and that was because Chang Kaishen didn't understand the business operation model at all. As a person who holds political power and military power, he was kidnapped by two businessmen, which shows that his wisdom is really limited! Even if you want to be kidnapped, you have to be like Mississippian.

"In the south, there are some things that should be more than one mind. So as not to cause a monopoly of the family, and then it will hurt the feelings. Xu De continued to persuade.

"Dad, do you know how much wealth Lu Xiang's family has?" Xu Lie thought about it, but decided to open the eyes of the cheap dad.

"It is estimated that it will be no less than 1 million taels of silver."

"What about the others we work with?"

"Others...... It is estimated to be a little weaker than the Lu family. ”

"Then do you think their strength will have an impact on us?"

"This ...... Maybe not now, but who knows what the future will bring? ”

"Dad, do you know why I only chose a few families of the Lu family to cooperate?" Xu Lie decided to get on the right track.

"This ...... It seems that they supported us first. ”

"That's right, Dad, they supported us first, so they tied it to our chariots, but if they don't want to tie it to our chariots one day and want to fly alone, then they can't get any benefit from our Mengshan army. Dad, you can think about it, I don't even look at Cixi, do I care about a few businessmen? Moreover, I believe that it will not be long before we, the Mengshan Army, will be able to do business with foreigners and sell our goods to the whole world. ”

"By the way, South, when you talk about foreigners, the last time the Rhine people came to talk to you, it seemed that they broke up unhappily, they won't come to retaliate, right?" Speaking of which, this cheap dad really cares about Xu Lie's career.

"Hehe, if the Rhine sends warships, I may still be a little afraid, but to say that in this Mengyin Mountain, their army is afraid that it is not the opponent of our Mengshan Army." Xu Lie said confidently.

"That's good, that's good." Regarding military matters, Xu De naturally believes in his son.

Originally, Xu Lie decided to "teleport" back to the Laiwu battlefield after having dinner at home, but what Xu De said reminded him that there are some things that must be done in advance, so he found Wang Qinian again, and he is about to occupy a few counties. For some people who have a level and ability, and Mengshanjun especially wants to stay, the work must be even more advanced, and it is best to "kidnap" their families to Mengyin, of course, amicably.

"Commander, there's good news, I decided to wait until the end of this operation to tell you, but since you've already set up for it, I'll tell you now." Wang Qinian said suddenly after Xu Lie finished speaking.

"Where?" Xu Lie told Wang Qinian a lot of things, if he just said it in general terms, he really didn't know what kind of news it was.

"In terms of talent. Our people, from Hanyang Ordnance Industry and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, contacted some people who were willing to come to Mengshan. Among them, there are 6 senior technicians, 17 general technicians, and as for ordinary workers, there are about 70 people. ”

"Oh, great, how can so many people want to come?" Xu Lie was excited, but after the excitement, there were questions.

"Well, Commander, that's funny to say. The two major factories, the bureaucratic system, they believe in foreign engineers and technicians, and do not believe in Chinese technicians, the same technology, Chinese technicians can only get one-sixth of the salary of foreign technicians, which also causes the families of these technicians to be very poor, and there is a phenomenon that the families of senior technicians cannot open the pot, and we are not short of money, commander! ”

"You're not going to make random wishes to them, are you?" Xu Lie has a detailed plan for the introduction of senior talents, and who earns what money cannot be messed up. Because once the chaos comes, it will not be easy to introduce talents in the future.

"Commander, how can I make a wish? The senior technician you mentioned was treated as a company commander, and my people just said that they would be paid 10 taels of silver per month, which made those people so excited that they were about to come to Mengyin immediately. ”

Hearing this, Xu Lie was silent. In the Dragon Kingdom, Shinong industry and commerce are its traditions, and those who work and do business have always had a low status. Even in the original time and space, the status of businessmen has been improved, but the status of workers is still very low, although the slogan raises its political status very high, but in essence, it is just a person who can only work hard in a certain position, that is, a kind of propaganda in the rain or shine "screw spirit", you can only nail there, other things, you can't take care of it, and it won't ask you to take care of it. Not to mention the technician who works, even if it is a professor in a university, it is difficult to speak in school.

"Commander, is there something wrong?" Wang Qinian saw that Xu Lie didn't speak, and asked a little nervously.

"There's nothing wrong with that, you're doing a great job." Xu Lie thought about the salary treatment of the Mengshan Army, 1 tael of recruits, 2 taels of auxiliaries, 3 taels of regular soldiers, 6 taels of squad leaders, 10 taels of platoon commanders, 20 taels of company commanders, 40 taels of battalion commanders, and 80 taels of regiment commanders...... Speaking of which, this salary is really not high, but why is it so attractive to Mao?

This treatment is indeed not high, because Xu Lie looked at this problem from the very developed conditions of industry and commerce in the original time and space.

For example, at this time, 3 taels of silver, even in Jiangnan, can only buy 2 quintals, that is, about 240 catties of rice, this amount, according to the price of the original time and space, is equivalent to seven or eight hundred soft sister coins, and even a jobless homeless person who has reached the age of 60 is not as good as the social security fund, but in this era, it is actually the monthly salary of a regular soldier.
