is going to fight, and there is no military spending, which makes Tao Ying sad. Is it time for Chen Deng to enter the era of Chen Deng's rule in Xuzhou again? Tao Ying still clearly remembers that at that time, he had just occupied Pengcheng, and in order to expand his territory, he recruited troops to fight north to Xuzhou. Then Chen Deng also excused himself and said that he had no money, but fortunately he supported him.

However, it was a tragic price, and the reckless use of military force caused heavy losses to its own people, and thousands of people died of starvation, which made Tao Ying remember the principle of the rise of Xuzhou all his life. The rise of Xuzhou is not as good as Yanzhou and Jizhou, and the rise of Xuzhou should be people-oriented, and the people should be taken care of before talking about expanding the territory. Otherwise, the common people are like Yanzhou, living so poor, how can they develop in the future?

Therefore, this autumn and winter, Tao Ying's biggest problem is how to solve the problem of financial constraints. When he ran out of money, Tao Ying was always the first to think of the official head who was in charge of his foreign affairs and commerce department - Lu Su!

In the bustling Pengcheng Tao Mansion, in the study, as soon as the afterglow of the setting sun fell, Lu Su hurriedly walked into Tao Ying's study from the courtyard. Tao Ying was sitting in a rocking chair of his own design, reading a book intently. That book is a map of the Yingkou generation that has just been drawn, and this one has just been transmitted, although it has been drawn for a year.

Lu Su lifted the bead curtain and walked into the study, and bowed to Tao Ying, who hurriedly got up and asked Lu Su to excuse himself. There was a row of beautifully made stools in the study, and Lu Su knew that his young lord didn't have much of a shelf, so he just wanted to sit down on the stool, but Tao Ying pulled Lu Su over and let him sit on his chaise longue.

Lu Su lay down and shook it twice, not to mention that this rocking chair is really comfortable!

"Well, I invented this rocking chair in my spare time, let's lie down comfortably!"

Tao Ying introduced it as if he was selling a recliner, and said that this recliner is more comfortable in summer, that is, when the night comes, a thin blanket can be used as a bed to sleep on!

Lu Su also nodded and praised beside him, not to mention, his lord loves to invent, and he has invented a bunch of things, and there is really nothing that makes people feel novel!

"My lord, this chair is really unseen and unheard of! If this chair is spread out, it will definitely become a good product that the princes and generals will rush to buy! ”

Sure enough, it was an occupational disease of the Xuzhou General Commercial Bank, and after Lu Su saw this, the first thing he thought of was that if he was sold, he would definitely make a lot of money!

As soon as he mentioned that he could make money, Tao Ying said happily: "Okay, then I'll give you the production method later." After you go back, you gather skilled craftsmen to produce some and sell them for trial, the treasury has just been empty recently, and I am worried, I just don't know how long it will take to make enough money! ”

When it comes to the time for rocking chairs to make money, Lu Su thought for a while and said: "If you want to make money, you have to find a carpenter to make it first. There are very few people who want someone to make wooden chairs, and the price of furniture, tables and chairs is skyrocketing. Therefore, when it comes to earning money, I really dare not speculate! ”

Thinking about it, it seems that what Lu Su said makes sense. Now Xuzhou carpenter is a popular profession! Particularly high-level carpenters went to the shipyards of the military department, where they were responsible for the production of high-class steam engine warships. Pengcheng's plan within ten years is to make passenger ships all over every city in Xuzhou, and trains are about to appear, and carpenters are even more scarce at that time.

Although the Ministry of Government Affairs has set up a lot of carpenter crash courses, it still can't keep up with the needs of Xuzhou's great development. Therefore, if you really want to make money on this rocking chair thing, it will really become a problem.

Seeing that Tao Ying was a little disappointed, Lu Su next to him hurriedly offered another skill and said: "Naturally, there are no carpenters available in Xuzhou, but the lord, there are carpenters in Bohai County." Now Yuan Dagongzi is closest to our Xuzhou, the lord has set up so many factories in Bohai County, Bohai has become the most developed county in Jizhou, where there are also many talents, why don't the lord let Yuan Dagongzi help process and produce various things such as tables and chairs? ”

After Lu Su finished speaking, Tao Ying thought about it, too! Now it is like the former Soviet Union, developing the military industry every day, no one comes to produce tables and chairs, and now the furniture in Pengcheng has skyrocketed more than ten times, and the people are almost unable to sleep. Why don't you go to your best friend? In this way, not to mention that my friends make money, the key is that I will also make a lot of money! Moreover, if the wooden industry is popularized in Bohai, Bohai County will become the largest wooden processing base, and the era of furniture profiteering in Xuzhou will not come to an end?

I have contributed to the people again with this profile!

Lu Su really deserved to be Lu Su, and Tao Ying couldn't help but give Lu Su the first rocking chair. However, it will take at least half a year to set up a factory and recruit workers, and it will take at least half a year to set up various enterprises funded by the Xuzhou General Commercial Bank, which monopolizes the wood industry, and it will also be difficult to reduce prices. So Tao Ying made another decision in order to reduce his investment! Because I don't have much money in the first place, otherwise the treasury wouldn't be empty!

This decision is to encourage private investment in wooden enterprises, so that their own government-run price control, so that they can also make some money, more people produce, when the market in Pengcheng is satisfied, the price will naturally drop. And those private enterprises also have to pay taxes for themselves, and they can make money while sitting still, which is a pleasure to think about!

So Tao Ying handed over this matter to Lu Su, and in order to thank Lu Su for his contribution, this first private overseas enterprise was rewarded to the Lu family, and Lu Su was naturally pleasantly surprised after hearing it!

Although this can make money, Tao Ying thought about it, how to raise nearly one million taels of silver in one autumn and winter, it is really a problem. Tao Ying told Lu Su his thoughts, and Lu Su frowned after hearing this. This time the capital to go north is indeed much larger, but as long as Liaodong is captured, this military expenditure is still very worthwhile!

But no money is absolutely impossible, warships need coal, it takes money to transport coal, and soldiers need money to get military salaries. Dead in war need a pension, and wounded need medical expenses. And even if Liaodong is captured, the construction cost of Liaodong alone is far more than one million taels of silver. Tao Ying even wanted to open a silver ticket, anyway, Xuzhou's silver ticket had already circulated throughout Xuzhou, and it could even be used on Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Sun Ce's territory.

But once the silver ticket is printed, it will lead to the depreciation of the silver ticket, and when the price soars, he will face a credit crisis, which is far greater than the harm that Liaodong has given himself!

Seeing Tao Ying's sad face, Lu Su offered another skill, and after Lu Su finished speaking, Tao Ying fell into contemplation again......
