Chapter 370: Lack of money

Han Zhao's father and son had arrived in Jiangling, and Li Chu immediately became the shopkeeper and handed over the government affairs of the entire Jiangling City to Han Zhao. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At the same time, Li Han was appointed as the governor of the Gangneung region, temporarily taking over the military arrangements and appointments of the entire Gangneung and Xiangyang regions, and Lu Junyi stayed in Gangneung, temporarily serving as Li Han's deputy general, and was responsible for the security of the Gangneung area and the suppression of bandits around Gangneung.

Suppressing bandits is to suppress some bandits and bandits in the mountains.

Now that Jiangling has been returned to the Qilin Army, then this kind of bandits can no longer be used under this rule, after Wang Qing beat Jiangling, he only cared about expanding his territory, and some bandits on this territory took advantage of this opportunity to rise and grow, which Li Chu did not want to see.

At the same time, Yang Zhi was appointed as the commander of the Western Army, commanding the Qilin Army, Liangshan Army, Mo Army, and Yingshui Army, and went west to destroy Wang Qing's main force in Xizhen.

Be sure to capture Wang Qing alive.

Li Chu returned to Rufen Town.

After defeating Gangneung, his role was used up, and he was not needed for some of the things that followed.

Mainly to the west of Gangneung, there are mountains and rivers, not only mountains but also many rivers, and the road is very difficult, even more difficult than that of Yanchang County.

Li Bai once had a poem, Shu Road is difficult, Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky.

Although the Shu Road in his poem refers to the road in the direction of Chang'an entering Shu, the road from Jiangling to Shu is not the same?

The terrain on both sides is similar, and it is very difficult to walk.

The Leopard 1 tank is a medium-sized tank, and in this case, there is no place to walk there, and it plays a very little role.

Now that Xiangyang and Jiangling have been laid, in order to strengthen the control of these two places, this oil road must be built, even if the oil road is not built, but this cement road must be built.

Now less than one-tenth of the oil road project has been built, and the engineering team of the system is repairing the road in the Nanyang area, and it seems that it will take a long time to repair the road here.

When he returned to Rufen Town, Li Chu also went to these places to take a look.

The results are very satisfying.

Since the beginning of the recruitment of road repair apprentices, there are a lot of registrations, except for the beginning of a little rusty, this short period of time has been following the road repair factory team to learn, but also learned a lot of things, Li Chu arrived here when this side is very lively.

There is no urgency in the road, we can only wait for this group of apprentices to graduate, and then so many people can form several engineering teams, and the speed and plan of this team to build roads in the future will be much faster.

After returning to Rufen Town, Li Chu immediately summoned the two brothers Shi Tianyi and Su Qing and Su Mu.

In the government, Li Chu mentioned to them the plan of a government-run factory.

In the last lottery, Li Chu got together a lot of industrial bases, as well as some ingredient recipes.

The formula of cement and glass can go down to the people and let the private businessmen operate.

Especially the glass, you can put it down with confidence.

As for cement, because this thing can play a very huge role in military warfare, although it is intended to be delegated to the people, but considering that the military and the Qilin Army have not yet grown, this matter is still discussed and run officially.

The official office is the official investment of the Kirin Army to build a factory for production, and there are strict specifications for the sales object and use.

Cement is good for glass, but what worries Li Chu the most is the steelmaking plant, lathes and drawings.

In this lottery, the system gave Li Chu the firmest basic industry of the empire.

Steelworks can only be run by the government.

The problem is that there is a very huge problem that bothers Li Chu.

That is, there is no money......

This money is not a custom coin.

but money, gold, silver, and small flats.

Li Chu's capital was only able to rise by collecting the savings of some big families in Xiangcheng County for a hundred years, but now it is different, the territory is bigger, the army is more, and the money is spending day by day, but in fact, the income is very low.

The biggest expense is military spending.

Originally, the Qilin Army only had 10,000 soldiers, and the expenses were enough.

But now it is different, with the Liangshan Army and the Yingshui Army, some of Wang Qing's troops will be invested in the Qilin Army in the future.

That's not the point.

The key is that the salary of the Qilin Army is very high.

Ordinary soldiers 3-4 times a month.

And the Liangshan Army and the Yingshui Army, the soldiers of the imperial court were originally mixed with the thieves of Liangshan in Song Jiangyuan, and the salaries they took were similar to the soldiers of the imperial court before, but now they have joined the Qilin Army.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, this salary must be raised.

It's not the same as the Kirin Army, but it can't be too different.

And now, to build factories, this is also a sum of money.

Although the factory is pumped into the system, labor is still a huge expense and consumption.

Where do metal minerals come from?

Mining, there is a mine map, who will mine?

And to set up a factory to build glass to buy, it is also too late.

If it was okay a month or two earlier, if he came like this now, his capital return and profitability rate would not be able to catch up with the development speed of the Qilin Army.

The two brothers, Su Qin and Su Mu, are now the commercial leaders of the Qilin Army.

Therefore, Li Chu could only ask them to discuss this matter with Shi Tianyi.

Li Chu also said about the drawings and the factory, and it is still the same set to the outside world, which is the latest equipment made by Lumen.

The key is to build a walk-behind tractor, which is a big project.

This has to be done, and then the entire territory of the Qilin Army can be half-passed.

At the same time, if a tractor is built here, the price of other engines in the custom system will also be lowered, and then car engines, motorcycle engines, and even aero engines and the like will be expected to be customized.

Not only the engine, but also the impact of this tractor in other aspects.

Anyway, as long as you build an engine, you unlock a lot of new custom items, and then reduce the price of a lot of custom items.

At the same time, it is also a great promotion for the development of the Qilin Army.

But there's no money.

"Lord, why don't we fake the tax?" This is what Su Mu proposed.

Raising taxes?

"Nope."

Before Li Chu could speak, Shi Tianyi and Su Qing took the lead in vetoing this proposal.

Shi Tianyi is because increasing taxes is increasing the burden on the people, while Su Qing feels ashamed, he is a businessman, and he is engaged in business to the point of raising taxes, which is simply a shame.

However, with the current situation of the Qilin Army, it is indeed difficult to get such a large sum of money for a while.

Money, Su Qing is not difficult.

The difficulty is how to get this money in a short time, and this is the biggest problem.

"The lord can open up some privileges for private fundraising, I think some businessmen should be very interested in this."

In the end, Su Qing had to come up with such a bad idea. (To be continued.) )
