Chapter 339 - Outsourcing of Military Products (9)
Hearing Cui Xiuxiu say about this military outsourcing, Chen Fei immediately asked: "Are you like this with me for this military outsourcing?" ”
"Where do you want to go? Is the body of the eldest daughter of my Cui family worth such a small amount of money? Cui Xiuxiu said angrily.
Chen Fei sneered, because he obviously knew that the Cui family would not let the eldest daughter of the patriarch do such a thing for the sake of this money. And it seems that this Cui Xiuxiu is still interesting to herself, so she really does this kind of thing with herself. This also reassured Chen Fei a lot, as long as it wasn't the Cui family's deliberate calculation of himself, it was acceptable.
"Cui Xiuxiu, was Princess Wanchun assassinated by someone sent by your Cui family?" Chen Fei asked solemnly.
Cui Xiuxiu said with certainty: "No! Because I know you're going to hate me for the rest of my life if I do that, so I won't be so stupid. But I can help you investigate and see who is trying to assassinate Princess Wanchun. ”
"Did someone else in the Cui family do it, such as your uncle and second uncle, would they do it in order to retaliate against me?" Chen Fei asked.
Cui Xiuxiu immediately continued: "No, they are wrestling with their father now, so naturally they won't have time to find you unlucky." What's more, you are the one who has caused them to lose a lot, so even if they have a grudge, they are all coming to you, not Princess Wanchun. If they find Princess Wanchun, it is equivalent to breaking with Li Tang, so they will not be so stupid. ”
After hearing Cui Xiuxiu say this, Chen Fei was really relieved. But Chen Fei was still worried about what kind of organization this person who assassinated Princess Wanchun, and this invisible organization was the most terrifying. Because you can't know when and where they're going to give them a chiller, that's the biggest headache.
"Okay, since you said that there is something about the outsourcing of this military product, then what is your business?" Chen Fei asked.
Cui Xiuxiu continued: "My Xiuxiu Cloth Village wants to undertake the 300,000 winter clothes. ”
"You want to undertake 300,000 winter clothes?" Chen Fei asked.
Cui Xiuxiu said: "Yes, if you can undertake 300,000 pieces of winter clothes for this army." Then I am afraid that our Xiuxiu firm will definitely be able to become one of the few commercial houses in the country. When the time comes, it will definitely be the leader in the country in clothing and supplies, and the benefits obtained in this way will definitely be very huge. Therefore, I came to you on purpose, hoping that you can let my Xiuxiu firm be contracted. ”
Chen Feima smiled wryly, this Cui Xiuxiu is so ambitious, he has to bear 300,000 pieces of winter clothes at once, Chen Fei really doubts that he can eat it. And this is obviously cheating, Cui Xiuxiu said this to himself in private, that is obviously trying to use a private relationship to obtain this contracting right. But Chen Fei didn't expect that in the work he was preparing. Everything is handled in a business-like way. Chen Fei plans to see whose winter clothes have a better style and lower price to choose comprehensively. Of course, it won't be decided so casually, if you do this, wouldn't it make Chen Fei corrupt? Moreover, Cui Xiuxiu had this kind of relationship with herself, and then helped her obtain this contracting right, which is probably easy to think of the so-called "sex. corruption".
"I'm sure you've also inquired that this winter coat is something prepared for next year's Northern Expedition to the Turks, and it can't be decided so casually. If I give it to you, you won't be able to produce it in time. Or is your style unreasonable and can't achieve the effect of warmth, then what should I do? What will happen to the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line when the time comes, since I am the person in charge of ordnance. Then I am naturally responsible for them. So if you ask me to help you unprincipledly, then I can't do this! Chen Fei said solemnly.
Winter clothes are the most important thing for the Turkic army of the Northern Expedition next year, and winter clothes for winter combat are the most core. If Chen Fei had a problem with his winter clothes, it would freeze many soldiers. When the time comes, there will be no need for the enemy to charge. The soldiers who have been frozen to the ground are all about to die. At that time, his head had to fall off, so Chen Fei naturally couldn't think of helping Cui Xiuxiu unprincipledly. And Chen Fei also knew deeply in later generations that if a politician is unprincipled. Sooner or later, you're going to lose your head. Whether you are a person or an official, you must have a bottom line. This bottom line represents your final outcome. If Chen Fei handed over the contracting rights to Cui Xiuxiu without principle this time, then the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops in the end could not be guaranteed, then Chen Fei would really have to face the souls of hundreds of thousands of troops to ask for his life.
"Then you can find a way to let me increase production! Your ordnance supervisor didn't implement the so-called assembly line production, and our garment workshop can do the same. When the time comes, the assembly line production will be implemented, so won't we be able to produce it quickly, and finally be able to obtain the right to contract at the lowest price? Cui Xiuxiu said.
Chen Fei shook his head and said, "It's not just the production speed, but also the style and materials. We also have to look at the style, if it can provide the best warmth, that is the best. If the warmth is not good, then we will not use it. It is best to have a material that is light in weight and has a good warmth effect, and that is the best. And the best material in my eyes is cotton. But now in this year, a large amount of cotton is cultivated in the Central Plains, so we can't produce cotton clothes in large quantities. ”
The armies of later generations used cotton to make cotton clothes, but a large amount of cotton was planted in the Central Plains, which was a matter of the Song Dynasty. Now it's far from the Song Dynasty, that's still far away! At this time, cotton is used as cotton cloth, and cotton cloth is a high-end product! Even if you want to plant cotton temporarily, it's too late. So the cotton can't be counted on, Chen Fei also hopes to make some unique design styles, and then he can keep the soldiers warm as much as possible.
Cui Xiuxiu heard that Chen Fei was unwilling to help her for personal reasons, so she didn't know whether she should be happy or a little complaining, but since Chen Fei had no way, Cui Xiuxiu had nothing to do.
"Hey, the birds flying in the sky, they have a body of feathers, so they are naturally not afraid of the cold. But if people can grow a body of feathers, then we can not be afraid of the cold! But people don't have feathers! Cui Xiuxiu said.
Chen Fei suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, why didn't I think of it!" Xiuxiu, thanks to you for reminding me. Okay, let's go, follow me to the princess's mansion, I have a way to solve it! (To be continued......)
