Chapter 149 - Expansion of the cement plant
After glaring at Yang Feifei viciously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhang Yun reluctantly found that he seemed to be really happy!
didn't want to be embarrassed in the Chongxiao Palace, Zhang Yun greeted Tie Niu, and followed him to the factory area, especially about the amount of cement reserves, Zhang Yun wanted to talk to Tie Niu......
Waited until the warehouse where the cement was stored...... Zhang Yun looked at the almost endless finished cement, turned his head, and said to Tie Niu: "How many tons of product cement are here?" ”
"If you build a standard cement road that is 3.5 meters wide and six inches thick, how far can you build the cement that has been stored?"
Seeing that Zhang Yun talked about what he was best at, Tie Niu said with some interest: "Lord Qiyu, the cement currently stored should be able to build a standard 3.5-meter-wide by six-inch thick road of about five or six thousand kilometers, of course, this has to be done on the plains, and of course the mountains have to be calculated separately." ”
"Unfortunately, there are many mountains in the eight southern provinces, so this number needs to be reduced by at least about 30%, not to mention that the roads between provinces must be at least two-way eight-lane!"
"And it still has to be able to run tractors in both directions and eight lanes, so the reserves of these cements are really a drop in ......the bucket compared to the road network of the eight southern provinces."
Tie Niu's words made Zhang Yun silent, but he didn't stay silent for long, Zhang Yun raised his head again and said to Tie Niu: "If we start building a new cement factory now, will we be able to catch up with the progress of the project?" Won't slow you down? ”
Zhang Yun's words were like a bolt of lightning, exploding in Tie Niu's mind!
After being stunned for a moment, Tie Niu patted his head and said: "My subordinates were also blinded by lard before, and they never thought of expanding the cement factory......
"To know the formula of cement, my subordinates have known it for a long time, and there is no shortage of skilled cement factory workers, and the most important thing is limestone, an important raw material for cement, which has mines on Hainan Island."
"So Master Hou, this idea of yours, we have the foundation to realize it!"
Compared with Tie Niu, who was a little excited, Zhang Yun could still keep his calm, and said to Tie Niu: "You don't need to be so excited at the moment, how big is that limestone mine, you still need to send someone to survey it immediately." ”
"Of course, if the result of the survey is that we can fully undertake our road construction plan, then it is never too late for you to get excited!"
For Zhang Yun's beating, Tie Niu looked a little disappreciative and said: "Limestone is everywhere in the country, not just a specialty of Hainan, so now there is no power to stop us from expanding the cement factory!" ”
"Master Hou, don't worry, his subordinates can immediately start building a cement road in Liangguang, of course, the premise is Chen Gui, he won't pull his hind legs......"
Seeing that Tie Niu was a little excited, Zhang Yun nodded, and after expressing his approval of his plan, he left the factory area......
As soon as Zhang Yun returned to Chongxiao Palace, he immediately asked the guards to summon Chen Gui over, since the cement problem has been solved, then the only thing that restricts the road construction plan is money.
Zhang Yun didn't want anyone to drag him back, so he wanted to knock Chen Gui at this time.
didn't let Zhang Yun wait long, Chen Gui quickly responded to the call, and after seeing the ceremony, Zhang Yun gave him a seat, for such an important minister, on the surface, Zhang Yun still has to give enough respect!
For Zhang Yun's courtesy, Chen Gui was naturally grateful, and after the guard served tea, Zhang Yun directly asked straight to the point: "For a while, Ben Hou didn't check the accounts,"
"How much money do you have in our current accounts, and as for the inheritance tax, have you continued to implement it? These are all things Ben Hou wants to know......"
Seeing Zhang Yun talking about business, Chen Gui also put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "Don't talk about those copper coins or anything, just talk about this silver coin, in the inventory at the end of April, it shows that all the current silver coins, all combined, have exceeded 3.7 billion." ”
"As far as my subordinates know, the current taxes of the Manchu court, all combined, are only tens of millions of taels of silver, so our inventory of silver coins can already be worth the national taxes of the Manchu court for decades!"
"As for the issue of inheritance tax, except for a very few places with inconvenient transportation, which have not been implemented, in the vast majority of prefectures and counties, it has been resolutely enforced......
"All the gold adds up, plus a lot of gold mines that are being mined right now...... All combined, as of the end of April, it has reached more than 1,600 tons, as for those antiques and calligraphy and paintings! ”
"Because the Hou Ye asked for the construction of the museum, his subordinates have never disposed of them, nor have they calculated their value......
Looking at Chen Gui, who was a little proud after finishing speaking, Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel cold, and wanted to pour a basin of cold water on him, "Billions of silver dollars, it does seem like a lot, but don't forget!" ”
"The origin of these silver dollars, that is we swept away all the landlord class in the eight southern provinces to loot, in the next few years, we do not have such a chance, so we can only rely on ourselves, save it."
"If you spend it lavishly, Ben Hou will see how you cry when the time comes......"
"Coupled with the large-scale construction we are about to start, the salary of labor alone is enough to consume the billions of silver dollars that you are currently proud of, and it may not be enough!"
"As for the gold, it must not be touched lightly, so don't count on it!"
"Also, Ben Hou has already discussed all the road construction plans with Tie Niu just now, and the only restriction that hinders the road construction plan at present is silver."
"It can be said that as long as you don't lag behind in terms of money, then in the next year or two, the cement road will definitely be able to reach every town in the eight southern provinces......"
"And as long as the road is open, the problem that the inheritance tax you just mentioned cannot be implemented in a few places can also be well solved, after all, any bandit or bully, he can't withstand the hundreds of thousands of guns of our patriotic army."
"As long as the road is open, our army can quickly move quickly in every part of the eight southern provinces, so some people with dark thoughts, before they want to fight against the rule of the Patriotic Army, they always have to think about the army that can move quickly!"
"What's more, with the mass production of tractors, as long as the cement road network of the eight southern provinces is connected to every town, our army can really achieve a speed of 1,000 per day and 800 at night within the scope of the eight southern provinces......"
"So this silver problem, in the next year or two, Ben Hou will invest 12 points of attention, I hope you don't have a contemptuous heart, otherwise Yang Feifei will end up at that time...... I'm afraid it will fall on you. ”
Zhang Yun's bucket of cold water finally woke up Chen Gui, remembering that the reason why he came to serve in the Patriotic Army was also because Yang Feifei was in charge of the accounts...... There was a huge problem!
He was able to directly become the God of Wealth of the Patriotic Army from the position of the prefect of Guiyang.
If something goes wrong in the future, Zhang Yun will make such a move to himself and find someone to take over his finance and bank work...... This kind of thing, just thinking about Chen Gui makes me shudder!
In the process of managing the accounts, Yang Feifei made a major mistake, but he was able to get out of the way, but it doesn't mean that he can get out of the way!
Especially thinking of Zhang Yun's behavior towards some people, Chen Gui no longer had the slightest contempt at this moment, but felt some sweat flowing out of his back......
Chen Gui, who had changed his mentality, looked at Zhang Yun again, and he didn't have the ease just now, but felt that Zhang Yun's gaze seemed to reveal some kind of murderous aura!
After thinking about it, the current way to break the situation is to let Zhang Yun's eyes divert from his body......
Therefore, Chen Gui hurriedly swore to the sky and assured Zhang Yun: "Please rest assured, in the process of Lord Tieniu's road construction, his subordinates can guarantee that they will never pull their hind legs......
"Of course, for the commercial and other taxes that Hou Ye once said, his subordinates will definitely supervise the little rabbits below and try their best to complete them."
Speaking of this, Chen Gui paused, as if he had thought of something......
After organizing the language a little more, Chen Gui said again: "Just now, my subordinates talked about commercial law, but within the scope of our Patriotic Army, there are basically not many factories mentioned by Hou Ye, and we only rely on those few shops, and this commercial tax seems to be a bit dispensable......
Hearing Chen Gui talk about commercial taxation, a flash of inspiration seemed to flash in Zhang Yun's mind...... Therefore, he hurriedly knocked on the table with his fingers, and immediately interrupted Chen Gui's tirade!
Just after thinking about it, Zhang Yun found that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding before, and always wanted to rely on his own family to prosper this country, isn't this a fool's dream?
Looking back at the national development model of later generations, it seems that they all started from the Industrial Revolution, but all the factories under the current rule of the Patriotic Army belong to Zhang Yun alone......
But then again, there has never been such a precedent for privately run factories, let alone under the rule of the Manchu court, even in the relatively enlightened eight southern provinces!
All the landlord class, their eyes are almost entirely focused on the land, always want to buy more land for their family, pass it on to future generations, and never think of other ways out!
Aren't the landlords who wanted to betray themselves a few days ago and went to the north to seek refuge with Li Hongzhang also unsatisfied in the land, so they took the risk to betray themselves?
Thinking of the current territory of his own territory, especially near Sanya, there are at least thousands of elites in the landlord class.
The amount of gold and silver they brought from the north was definitely an astronomical amount, but Zhang Yun didn't have any land for them to buy and sell here, so their silver money must still exist in the cellar......
So is it possible to move them to invest in some light industrial plants?
For example, the garment industry is a one-stop shop, which includes spinning, weaving and so on!
Of course, there are some other factories, such as the expansion of the cement plant this time, to meet the transformation and hardening of roads above the level of towns in the eight southern provinces, Tie Niu alone will definitely not be able to do it.
Not to mention anything else, just the number of workers, if the iron bull wants to gather the total number of workers and train them, it will take a lot of effort and waste a lot of time!
Wouldn't it be good for Iron Bull to do other things with all this time?
Besides, all factories that do not involve the military are handed over to private individuals to operate, and Zhang Yun feels that he should get better results!
Because Zhang Yun has learned from the experience of later generations is that the production capacity and quality of all state-owned enterprises are definitely not comparable to those of private enterprises......
It's like eating a big pot of rice in the past, many people would go hungry, and even starved to death, but once the land was contracted to the households, although the poverty in various places was not fundamentally improved!
But since then, Zhang Yun has never heard of the news of starving people to death!
This is the root of human inferiority, the state is the state, and one's own is one's own, so it will become a well-known axiom that state-owned enterprises cannot compete with private enterprises.
Although this axiom may sound ridiculous, Zhang Yun does not intend to disobey it!
Moreover, the commercial tax that Chen Gui mentioned just now can only be really collected after private factories bloom everywhere, otherwise it will only rely on the commercial tax generated by those poor shops......
Zhang Yun thinks that maybe the people in the Ministry of Finance, if they don't rely on themselves to pay their salaries, they will even starve to death!
After figuring out all these questions, Zhang Yun said to Chen Gui with high interest: "Today you can be regarded as a great favor to Ben Hou, if it weren't for your reminder, Ben Hou would have almost drilled the tip of the bull's horns......
After Zhang Yun finished speaking, seeing that Chen Gui was a little inexplicable, and in a happy mood, Zhang Yun carefully explained to Chen Gui the method he had just thought of......
Of course, Chen Gui is a native of this world, and he doesn't have Zhang Yun's insight from the next one or two hundred years, so he doesn't understand why Zhang Yun is so excited.
But Chen Gui looked at Zhang Yun's current state, as if he had picked up a big gold mine, as a subordinate, he naturally didn't dare to go up and pour cold water!
After all, not everyone is Yang Feifei and dares to go against Zhang Yun, the lord, in any matter, so Chen Gui can only echo and laugh.
And Chen Gui's attitude made Zhang Yun have a misjudgment, that is, people in this era also support their own ideas......
There is no great resistance to investing the money in your family in a factory that has no income in a short period of time!
Therefore, Zhang Yun, who had a misunderstanding, let Chen Gui go down in an extremely happy mood, while Zhang Yun himself turned around and immediately ran to find Yang Qingxian, the leader of the family.
Zhang Yun wants Yang Qingxian to stand up and be the first person to eat crabs!
And when Zhang Yun hurriedly went to find Yang Qingxian, he didn't see that on the edge of Chongxiao Palace, Chen Gui looked at his back with sympathy......
Not to mention anything else, when Zhang Yun said that he wanted those landlords to take out the money and build the factory, Chen Gui felt that this method was unreliable!
Remembering to ask himself, Chen Gui felt that if he let himself take out his money and build those factories, he would definitely have to be dizzy before he would do it!
Of course, Zhang Yun was so excited at that time, Chen Gui asked himself if he was not the kind of person Yang Feifei, so naturally he didn't wash this bucket of cold water when Zhang Yun was very excited, after all, Mingzhe protects himself......
It is a basic skill that everyone should learn!
