readx; readx; In less than five days, Zheng Tao sent a good .lā that the Russian Far Eastern Military District had agreed to purchase canned food and spirits from the Northeast

However, Zheng Tao far underestimated Lao Maozi's appetite. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the price unchanged, the command of the Far Eastern Military District directly took 20% of the proceeds.

Seeing that Zheng Tao kept a calm face and did not speak, Colonel Yuri also knew that for the Liaodong Army, the benefits of Yicheng were likely to be benefits.

Thinking that the generals in the headquarters who had a share were not nobles that he could offend, Colonel Yuri could only grit his teeth and say, "Minister Zheng, I can't help it." I know that your Liaodong Army will definitely suffer a lot of losses in this division, so I have decided to give up the completed division! ”

Zheng Tao looked gloomy on the surface, but after listening to Yuri's decision, his face looked a lot better, but in fact, Zheng Tao was already happy in his heart.

As vice minister of economic affairs, Zheng Tao knows better than anyone the cost of canned food and soju.

Although the price of canned meat is more than half the price of raw meat, the real cost is less than half of the selling price. On the one hand, the reason why it is so cheap is that the beef and mutton in the canning factory are purchased from Mongolian herders. It was already three or four percent cheaper than the market. On the other hand, because of the large amount of starch and seasoning in the canned meat, only half of the expensive meat products in a can of canned meat are used, and the rest is all cheap starch.

As for shochu, that's even less to say.

The raw materials for making shochu are all the cheapest coarse grains in the three northeastern provinces, and the cost is less than 40% of the selling price.

Even if Lao Maozi took away two and a half percent of the income, the remaining seventy and a half percent of the income could still be earned by the Liaodong Army

Large sums of silver. dudu1;

Seeing the heartache on Yuri's face because of the half-percent of the profits, Zheng Tao pretended to be embarrassed and replied: "Yes, as long as we don't lose money, I hope Colonel Yuri will report your needs as soon as possible, and I will arrange production and send things over as soon as possible." ”

Back in Fengtian, Zheng Tao reported the results of Lao Maozi's two-and-a-half percent of the income to Yang Xingguo. Although Yang Xingguo was angry, he scolded Lao Maozi for being insatiable. But in my heart, like Zheng Tao at that time, I was happy.

Although the income of twenty and a half accounted for half of all his profits, the remaining half of the profits were enough for the Liaodong army to earn a large amount of silver.

"Minister Zheng, from now on, all the processing plants directly managed by the government will be under your control, and I will greet you Minister Yan after I go down." Yang Xingguo, who looked satisfied, ordered decisively in order to make Yan Bing more relaxed.

Zheng Tao's eyes lit up, and he replied excitedly: "Commander Xie trusts, and I, Zheng Tao, promise to live up to the commander's high expectations." ”

Yang Xingguo nodded and continued: "Well, after going back, expand the production scale of oil mills, distilleries, and canning factories as soon as possible. ”

"The oil mill will not say much, the autumn harvest is coming, this year's soybean grain production in the three northeastern provinces must be much more than the original, my idea is to squeeze all the soybeans into soybean oil and then sell them, so that you can make more money."

"Canned food and soju can now meet the needs of Lao Maozi's Far Eastern Military Region. When these two things are transmitted to Lao Maozi's other military regions and the country, the demand will definitely increase several times. Anyway, the cans and shochu are all put away, so you can expand your production from now on and stock up on everything you can't sell. ”

At this time, good news also came from mid-week, and the Mauser rifles produced by the arsenal working overtime had been reequipped with nearly three main divisions.

Nearly 30,000 rifles that were eliminated found a market in just one month.

As for the money from selling rifles, he was thrown into the rifle factory in the middle of the week before he could cover the heat and continue to produce rifles. dudu2;

In the blink of an eye, four or five months have passed since Yang Xingguo took office as the governor of the three northeastern provinces.

During this time, the forbidden army of the two towns of the imperial court was directly expanded to five towns, and a pro-army of one town was specially formed to equip the most sophisticated weapons bought by the imperial court.

Because Yuan Shikai's spies planted in the forbidden army were wiped out by the imperial court, and most of them took refuge in the imperial court, plus the forbidden army was composed of elites who were loyal to the imperial court from the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners, a total of 60,000 elites were loyal to the imperial court.

Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army, because of the money from immigrants, plus the taxes of Anhui, Henan, and Shandong provinces, were all withheld by the Beiyang Army to expand the army.

The Beiyang Army not only restored the establishment of the Nine Towns Army, but also formed six mixed associations and two heavy artillery associations.

Although this expansion of the army immediately emptied Yuan Shikai's family foundation, Yuan Shikai was very happy.

The Nine Towns Army was stationed in the three provinces, plus six mixed associations to help defend the places. As long as the Nine Towns Army completes its training and the timing is right, the Nine Towns Army, which is deployed on the border of the three provinces, will be able to expand to the surrounding areas immediately.

In this way, the territory occupied by the Beiyang Army can at least change from the current three provinces to six provinces. More territory means more sources of income, and having silver means that you can expand more armies and then build more territory.

Yuan Shikai, who knows this very well, swept away the decadence of a few months ago, and was confident in his future again.

In this case, several feudal officials in the south also seemed to smell the smell of war, and the imperial court, like the Beiyang Army, began to expand the army on a large scale, so that they could have more foothold in the troubled times in the future.

And the large number of water rifles eliminated by the Liaodong Army were sold so quickly because of the large-scale expansion of the army by these feudal officials, and exchanged for a large amount of silver urgently needed by the Liaodong Army. dudu3;

Diametrically opposed to Kannai was the Liaodong Army, which had already controlled the entire three northeastern provinces.

With the completion of the reorganization of the four main forces, Yang Xingguo directly took out a large amount of ammunition for everyone to train, run in with each other, and improve their combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Not only that, Yang Xingguo also gave a lot of silver to Huang Xing, so that Huang Xing could supervise the counties and cities to resume production and reduce the trauma caused by the war to the three northeastern provinces.

At this time, the three northeastern provinces ushered in the autumn harvest that everyone in the Liaodong Army was concerned about.

In the entire three northeastern provinces, the most important thing for Yang Xingguo is Liaodong.

After half a month, Yang Xingguo finally received Huang Xing's happy and excited summary results.

Liaodong, which was first developed by the Liaodong Army, had an astonishing average grain yield of two and a half quintals, and according to the rule that the Jiangdong Army's tax rate was 20 percent and no more than 40 catties of grain, one acre of land was a tax of 40 catties of grain.

Nearly 20 million mu of land has been planted in Liaodong alone, which means that the three northeastern provinces alone can receive 8 million quintals of grain taxes.

If you exchange them for silver, it will be nearly twenty million taels of silver.

You know, this is just a Liaodong.
