He is the generalissimo of Yanyun Army, and the hundreds of thousands of brothers under his command are also under his command, and he must not favor one over the other.

If such a large amount of military expenditure is allocated to this newly established army, which is only a few hundred people, I am afraid that it will cause great criticism among the brothers.

So it's better to throw this hot potato into the hands of the boss, and when all these troubles are solved, and Long Xiaowei does have a certain combat effectiveness, it is not too late for him to pick up the ready-made ones......

That's how chicken thieves are.

Of course, Xiao Chen knew what Xiao Sheng was thinking and understood his difficulties, but he also knew that the establishment of Long Xiangwei was of epoch-making significance to the future military development of Yanyun, so even if he smashed the pot and sold iron, he must give his full support!

But I really can't agree to your request for fifty cars......

Because we only have one sample car in Yanyun County, and there are all kinds of shortcomings, and there are many technical problems that need to be improved.

If you want to mass produce, it will take a year and a half at the earliest, and the manufacturing cost of this thing is too high, so let's go back and talk to Xiuping, and strive to deliver ten cars to you next year, you can use it first......

The musket can't meet your requirements, you have to know that it is ancient times, how many years has the musket been invented?

Our Yanyun County is currently leading the world level, but it is only at this level, you can't ask the madmen to make eighty-one bars, right? That's not realistic!

So you Haibo also have to overcome this temporarily, the car will have, the Bayi bar will have, everything will have.

But because of the constraints, everything should not be rushed.

As for mortars, I don't know much about them, so you can go back and talk to the Xiuping madman Fuhai and them......

"Boss, I have an idea...... "Li Haibo said.

"You'd better not even think about it, it's not going to work." Before Li Haibo could speak, Xiao Chen had already guessed what he wanted to say.

"Why?" Li Haibo was still not convinced, "We didn't cross very successfully last time, and we brought back a lot of things, I think we can find another time and space vortex to go back, find a way to get some weapons and equipment, if necessary, move an entire arsenal over!" ”

"Hai Bo, you think about the matter of crossing too simply, that space-time vortex is very unstable, every time we enter is actually a great adventure, and the time travel in it is random, I don't know which era we will travel to? Last time, we were lucky......" Xiao Chen said.

"Even if it's an adventure, I think it's worth it!" Li Haibo said, "At most, it's useless to return?" ”

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back, as the so-called things are only three, and my luck will not always be so good, Jack warned me that if I travel through the time and space vortex many times, something may happen that even he can't predict......" This is a very serious warning.

"Okay then, but if you cross over next time, Boss, be sure to take me with you." Li Haibo had to dispel this idea for the time being, "By the way, boss, how much silver can you come up with now?" ”

"How much do you need?" Xiao Chen frowned.

"In the early days, I think one million taels can barely support it for a while." Li Haibo opened his mouth widely.

"How much?" Xiao Chen was taken aback, "Haibo, didn't you just come here and don't know how much a tael of silver is worth now?" ”

"Let's get the basics." Li Haibo said, "But boss, you must know that training and raising soldiers are very expensive, Long Xiang has just been established, and it is necessary to establish a base, a training ground, purchase equipment, equipment, and ......."

In addition, he wanted to set up an independent arsenal and a field hospital......

Li Haibo said that this is only what he can think of at present, and there will definitely be more in the future, boss, you must know that we are building a modern mobile force, so it must be all modern from the beginning.

The existing five hundred people are far from enough, such a few people do not have any combat effectiveness at all, they are just the backbone of the future Long Xiangwei.

My idea is to train a fully formed modern field division within three to five years! In terms of scale, there are at least 15,000 logistics personnel......

Is an upfront investment of one million taels too much?

It's really not much, 10 million taels is not much!

In fact, Xiao Chen's original intention was to want Li Haibo to set up a small-scale special operations force first, probably a regiment, or a reinforced battalion, but he didn't expect Li Haibo to have such big ambitions, no wonder the car asked for fifty cars as soon as he opened his mouth......

The idea is good, and Xiao Chen also supports it, but the strength does not allow it, my brother Haibo, don't you think I am rich?

"Didn't we get a lot of treasures out of the shipwreck? I see that those sold are worth millions of taels of silver. Li Haibo reminded Xiao Chen not to forget that we had a great harvest from the last crossing.

"What do you kid still think about?" Xiao Chen grinned, "I didn't even think about it, it was confiscated by the old man, and it was difficult to deduct a penny from that old man's hand, and I thought that he didn't approve of us establishing this Long Xiangwei, so I was afraid that if I asked him, I would not come up with the silver." ”

Mainly because of the last battle between Ross and Dongying, although Yanyun County won a big victory, it also cost a huge amount of money, and after Gao Juli recovered, he still needed a large amount of silver from Yanyun County to help and rebuild...... Xiao Chen didn't know the specific amount, but it was estimated that it would be at least 20 million taels!

There are many infrastructure projects in Yanyun County this year, the Shunfeng Changshan Highway was just completed last year, and the canal began to be dug again this year, and the silver went straight to the sea like flowing water......

The old man is also short of money now, and he can't wait to break a penny in half and spend it, otherwise he won't rob them of the shipwreck treasure, and asking him for silver at this time is tantamount to scolding.

Xiao Chen originally had some silver in his hand, but he spent all of it on the wedding for Yuntian and Xiangqin, and it cost him more than 100,000 taels of silver just to buy a small mansion for them in Changshan!

He originally wanted to buy a bigger one for the two of them, but when he inquired, he learned that the three-in, three-out house with a good location would cost hundreds of thousands of taels......

When did the housing prices in Changshan Prefecture become so high! This is simply higher than the housing prices in Fengyang City.

I think when they first came, a few thousand taels could buy a pretty good mansion.

But who would have thought that only four years later, the price would directly increase by dozens or hundreds of times, and I knew that I would buy a house with money in my pocket at that time......

So much so that now there is nowhere to get money in a hurry, it seems that I can only pit my brothers, but in other words, these brothers around Xiao Chen basically don't have any money, they are all working-class moonlight clans, from the fat people to the past, they are all poor eggs, except for my own sister......

My sister-in-law Ling'er didn't know that she was about to come into disaster, and she was reading a letter with Chiba Ling, Li Zhixian, and Shenzhao Sachiko Xin Jier in the house, and she didn't know what to discuss?

When they saw Xiao Chen and Li Haibo coming in, they all shut up.
