"What's the name of the mobility device under your feet?"

Li Jing asked.

Although Fan Jingjing is also an earl, Fan Jingjing really can't feel her majesty.

"Bicycles, why do you think they're amazing? It's just a convenient tool for movement, and it's much slower than the horse's speed, only a quarter of the horse's speed.

On the battlefield, many times you have to pursue speed to be able to catch up with the enemy, and there is no way to defeat the enemy. Forget it, I won't talk about it......"

Fan Jingjing found that she almost missed her mouth again, and hurriedly blocked the signal with her mouth, Li Jing didn't care too much about further things, the bicycle in front of her was already very magical in their eyes, if it could be made in large quantities, then their army would be able to move quickly.

If the cost of bicycles is low and can be universally popularized, then the speed of people's movement will become faster.

It can be seen that the speed is at least twice as fast as walking.

When people can walk farther away, you can see that it has a very big function, because people can go farther to work, so that when they move the layout, there will be a lot of wasteland that will not be wasteland anymore.

There are too few people now, but these people gather together to pursue safety, but when they work, they have to open up a place that people can find nearby, and there is no way to go farther, which is also a problem for people, but if there is a bicycle, the circle of life can become larger.

What's more, in the army, if this bicycle is modified a little, they can push and pull some goods. People not only don't have to walk when walking, but also can carry more items, you must know that the army has to carry items when walking, it takes very hard work, but pulling a truck to walk does not require so much strength, at most it can spend a third of the strength, every time you reduce your strength, you can spend an extra point of energy in the forward transportation, and then you have more strength to fight.

At the very least, the speed of going to the battlefield can be reduced, so that those who are attacked and advanced in front will not be so fast, and you must know that every time something happens, it will take a long time to rush over.

It was very painful for them every time, because before they arrived, the people in it had to suffer all kinds of suffering, even a lot of people.

In Datang, it is very normal to die hundreds, tens of thousands, of people because of a war.

But the population wants to be cultivated, but it is very difficult, the population, the population of the Tang Zhenguan period is the most lacking is the population, because leading troops to fight also need people, don't think that the government military system can meet the needs of the war, and there are many times there must be some additional soldiers to supplement.

Next, Li Jing's questions revolved around the bicycle, and Li Jing's wife, who seemed to have an understanding of the battlefield, added questions from time to time.

Fan Jingjing turned back a lot of questions, but the questions that were too professional were no longer for Fan Jingjing to answer.

Although she started the bicycle thing, it was all the people in the Fan family manor whose heads had been liberated, so Fan Jingjing told Li Jing that it was better to let the employees of the workshop explain it for them.

Fan Jingjing knew that what should not be said, they could also promise not to say it, and if they said it, it would be similar to a dead father.

"It will delay the work of these experts, and you must know that these people can make these bicycles, and the credit is in all generations.

It's not good to delay their work, and we need these very much in the army, can we send them to the army, we won't let them go to the battlefield, we just need them to make these bicycles. ”

Li Jing obviously also knows the habits of these craftsmen, they will not teach them casually, and when they are in the army, they can observe the whole process, and they don't believe that other craftsmen can't learn it, and there is no way to crack it.

"Fan Jingjing, when it comes to our bicycles, we have patent rights.

Our Fan family manor has paid for it, the whole workshop is an assembly line, and these workers have already received orders from our store, so they have to wait in line for a long time!

We've all paid to make orders, and when we get to the army, they can't get that much money, it's a loss for them. ”

Fan Jingjing really has no way to accept the method of serving the country and the people in this era, as if it involves the royal family and the imperial court, so she should provide very great help for the country and the people, and she is a good patriotic citizen.

But in Fan Jingjing's heart, although the country and the nation are very important, the country and the nation should not meet the needs of their own lives, see how much they have left, and then invest in the help of the country and the nation.

After all, her life must be maintained, and she is also a member of the people.

What's more, now her life is not only to maintain her own life, but also to take care of the owners of the Fan family manor, she can take the owners of the Fan family manor to the battlefield, but let her put her intellectual property rights into the country...... But it is impossible to provide it for free, because everything requires a cost, and it is a waste of life to invest in the big self, and Fan Jingjing does not have this sentiment.

If there is more, it can be invested, but in the case of insufficient production, how can she invest?

Due to the lack of production, Fan Jingjing has not yet begun mass production, in fact, although the Fan family manor is a slow consumption, but the usefulness of this thing is actually very large, many merchants have actually placed orders, because all the things developed by Fan Jingjing are used in the Fan family manor, as long as the businessmen come to the Fan family manor to go around, they will rarely not be attracted by the goods and even daily necessities in the Fan family manor.

There is a special foreign commerce department in the Fan family manor, which specializes in selling things.

The Fan family manor is now a big machine, and the big machine is now gradually running fluently, gradually running in, and pulling these people away is a big blow to the Fan family manor.

In addition to their daily work, they also have to plow the fields and study, and they are very busy every day.

Although many people join the Fan family manor every day, the Fan family manor already has its own life and production model, so these people will be pulled in for training step by step, and these people will soon be dead set on the Fan family manor because they enjoy the life of the Fan family manor.

Sending these people to the army will give them a feeling of abandonment.

"I can't give up my hired workers and send them out, my employees have a contract with me and are assigned to work in your army, and they are also our employees, unless they are willing to abandon the Fan family manor and work in the army.

The salary of our employees is very high, higher than that of all the workshops in Datang, but the money you give is not as high as the salary of our employees, how can we send it over, that is not a loss-making business?

Of course, bicycles are also large objects, and it would be best if they could be produced locally, but it seems a bit of a problem for us to get the money in the money army.

If we can't give it in advance, we can't send someone.

Give it afterwards and we may not get the money. ”

Fan Jingjing said the truth, and it was all about money, however, in the Tang Dynasty, people have not been blinded by the rules of Confucius and Mencius like later generations, and they are still reasonable.

Li Jing's face turned red, he knew that the money and food in the army were not so easy to get, and it would take a certain amount of time to get the payment from all countries, and it would be normal to delay it for ten days and half a month.

Even when the military makes payments, it often drags on for a long time, and for some relatively small businessmen, the money that has been delayed for so long will basically go out of business.

But from Li Jing's point of view, Fan's Manor doesn't seem to be a very small production unit, but he also knows that Fan's Manor is now constantly getting money, and then using this money to produce and expand, so Fanjiazhuang people don't seem to have too much money, and the food is also distributed quickly, after all, many unemployed vagrants, or people who can't get food, crowd Fanjia Town.

The population of Fanjia Town is now increasing. But it also solved the food problem of many people, and the imperial court didn't also take advantage of this opportunity to let these people work for relief, but if these people arrived at the Fan family manor, Fan Jiazhen might find a job to stay, but in the imperial court's work for relief, they still have to go home when the time comes, and it rains.

For the Tang Dynasty, being able to cultivate enough grain is the foundation of the country, and the reason why commerce cannot be developed is because people have no way to solve the problem of food.

And why all the people in the Tang Dynasty want to suppress people on the land instead of engaging in commerce, it is because if there is not enough food, even if they are engaged in commerce, they will not be able to feed people, and the imperial court also knows the importance of food, and does everything possible to tie people to food.

Because there is not enough food, the price of food will rise, and in the end only some people will be able to know, and the people who work, as long as the land belongs to them, will not become poorer anymore, but will be able to eat their stomachs, because then the food grown in the land will also become more expensive.

But no matter what, without food, people will starve, there will be no way to grow, so there is no way to increase taxes, and there will be no way to do more, basically it is a chicken-and-egg problem.

In any case, these problems are common, so the imperial court attaches great importance to the problem of grain growth, but now because of the immediate danger, it is necessary to exclude external troubles, so that the able-bodied people are pulled to the battlefield, and these people are pulled to the battlefield, and often have to let the imperial court send more food to feed, but they will produce less food, and the tax will also be reduced.

How to make the war less loss, and make the war more efficient, is a problem that all the generals of the Tang Dynasty need to consider, Li Jing is a civil and military all-round talent among all the generals, not to mention that the Red Whisk Girl is also one of the important chivalrous women, the war Their idea is that they must protect the Tang Dynasty from the invasion of foreign enemies, and if they want to protect the Tang Dynasty from the invasion of foreign enemies, the best way is to fight out, sweep the vicinity, and make them surrender.

As for meritorious service and extending the family business, Li Jing has basically done it now.

Due to the influence of Red Boy's TV data, Fan Jingjing always wanted to ask Li Jing, how many children do you have in your family, in fact, Li Jing is lying down.

For Li Jing, how could he give up bicycles, and the production problems that Fan Jingjing said were not a problem in his eyes, he would be a supervisor, there were a lot of people with production capacity, as long as they told them the production method, they could make bicycles in large quantities.

You must know that the military craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, and the ability of craftsmen is also very strong, if these powerful craftsmen are allowed to produce these products, they will be produced faster than the Fan family manor, so he is very angry that Fan Jingjing refuses to take out the bicycle.

So Li Jing decided to go back and make a small report to the emperor, after all, although Li Jing is a general, there is no way for Fan Jingjing to take out what she has, and only the emperor has a way to make others spit out the benefits she has, and only the emperor has a way to compensate Fan Jingjing.

After all, in what way did Li Jing himself compensate?

Although Li Jing is considered a rich man, Li Jing also has to support a lot of people, and he does not have too many assets.

The needs of thousands of people are very scary.

Although Li Jing's assets are very high, no matter how high the assets are, he feels that the value of the bicycle is actually higher than his assets.

"I'll go back to see the emperor and let the emperor deal with it!"

Li Jing thought for a moment and said.

"Wouldn't you be going too far?"

Fan Jingjing also knew what kind of person Emperor Li Shimin was, and as for being a good thing, the emperor took it for granted that it was his own.

Fan Jingjing feels sorry for the various intellectual property rights fees she paid for the bicycle, and now the money has not been returned! It seems that it will have to be produced in large quantities before the emperor orders it, but the iron chains are not so quickly produced.

Compared with the workshop, the workshop of the ginger blacksmith is still too small, and the craftsmanship is not good. It's the assembly line that is worth learning.

If the method of the assembly line is passed on to the workshop, the production capacity will be more than ten times.

The production capacity of the Datang generals is very strong, you must know that there are a lot of Datang soldiers, and almost all the armed equipment is produced by the generals.

Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl left, and at this time, Fan Jingjing was a little dumbfounded, and suddenly turned to Fan Qi and asked:

"What the hell are the two of them here for? Probably not here to talk about bicycles, right? ”

"Maybe it's to see the scenery of the Fan family manor, within a radius of 100 miles, I think the scenery of the Fan family manor is the best, unless it is the garden in the rich and noble's house, but the garden in the rich and noble house is spent a lot of money to fiddle out, but it is not a place to live."

After Fan Qi lived here for a while, she gradually identified with the Fan Family Manor, so she felt that she could breathe fresh air in the Fan Family Manor.

Fan Qi didn't know that Fan Jingjing had always pursued the quality of life very much, although there were many workshops in the Fan family's manor, none of them were polluting workshops, they were polluting workshops, and they would be driven away by Fan Jingjing to find a place where no one lived nearby.

It's just that the workers in the workshop are harder, they have to run a long distance, fortunately, there are bicycles. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Cantang", pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
