Chapter 69 Eight million consumption feast, two months of rapid speed
Xu Kuang could only hold the first Mushroom Ridge Development Conference and collectively discuss how to spend the six million gold coins.
"How to spend it, let's talk about it?".
A group of people looked at each other, six million gold coins, they had never seen so much money before.
This time it was York who stood up first.
"I can claim one million gold coins, all the construction of Mushroom Ridge has started, and one million gold coins is just enough."
Xu Kuangcai waved his hand boldly and said to York:
"Given, one million gold coins, remember to write a spending plan of no less than 100,000 words and give it to me, which must include construction plans, cost control, cost estimates, and premium presets, understand?".
York's face immediately showed an expression that was more ugly than crying.
A crowd of people couldn't laugh or cry.
Xin Jian stood up and said:
"The army has now expanded to more than 7,000 people, and the monthly military salary is more than 35,000 gold coins, not counting their daily food, consumables ordering, material rotation, weapon ordering, etc., all counting, it will cost more than 100,000 gold coins per month, I think we can claim two months' military salary first, that is, 200,000. There is also a pension for disabled soldiers, because some people choose to settle monthly, so we think we can also claim 100,000 gold coins in this regard. ”。
Xu Kuang nodded, and agreed.
The head of the arsenal said:
"I want to claim 100,000 gold coins and study the rocket artillery ......."
Xu Kuanggang wanted to refute, saying that he had a mature plan here, but he thought about it and said:
"Go ahead, I still have a mature plan here, you take into account the mature plan, our research has just started, don't worry about failure, failure is success, there is no success without failure, you must calm down and use your imagination ......."
Xu Kuang talked for a long time, but he only felt that his mouth was dry.
Finally he looked at Jenny and asked:
"Jenny, don't you have anything to say?".
Jenny stood up and said to Xu Kuang:
"I still have more than two million payments in my hand, do you still need money here?"
Xu Kuang: ......
Others: ......
York subconsciously asked:
"So we're not going to spend six million, but eight million, right?"
……
Xu Kuang ordered the factory to expand the production line and make lathes to the best of his ability, to see if he could make a batch of lathes specially used for rough cutting.
Hathaway reported a problem, saying that the power was running low.
Only then did Xu Kuang realize that the original electricity was no longer enough, and now it is even more insufficient as soon as production is expanded in all aspects.
Xu Kuang opened the mall and found the power plant, the drawings of the thermal power plant need 100 points, and the physical product needs 2000 points, Xu Kuang chose the drawings.
Xu Kuang exchanged a bunch of drawings and handed them to York, who said to York:
"Your burden is heavy again, build the power plant as soon as possible, understand?".
York sighed, scratched his head, which was already bald, and asked:
"Young master, is it too late for me to go back to be a soldier now?"
Xu Kuang smiled bitterly:
"Get out of here and build a house.".
York sat down dejectedly.
All in all, after a whole day of the conference, there was no way to spend the eight million gold coins......
……
Three days later
The people who went to the nearby geological exploration finally came back, and before they could drink a saliva, they were pulled to their office by Xu Kuang.
They brought back a bombshell news, there is oil nearby!
Xu Kuang hurriedly asked:
"Where's the oil?".
A person in charge of geological exploration said to Xu Kuang:
"The oil is just a little north of Orange Town."
Xu Kuang suddenly stood up from his chair and asked:
"Are you telling the truth?"
The person in charge said to Xu Kuang:
"It's true, it's absolutely true!".
Xu Kuang took out thousands of gold coins from the storage ring, and he didn't have time to count them, so he directly handed them over to this group of people.
"You've worked hard, take this money and go rest."
The group of people looked at Xu Kuang's handwriting in amazement, and they didn't know what to say.
Xu Kuang hurriedly convened a military meeting.
Two conferences were held in three days, which made everyone a little unbearable.
Xu Kuang looked at everyone and said:
"Everyone, don't worry about running out of gold coins, we can spend all our gold coins, and we can bring ourselves a steady stream of gold coins."
The crowd pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Xu Kuangdao:
"We have discovered oil, and as long as the oil is extracted, we will be able to make more things, but the oil is in Xiangcheng Town, and we can't go to Xiangcheng Town now, so we can only make a plan."
Xu Kuang snorted coldly:
"Although we took the initiative in this operation, we will not fall behind in the moral fault of benevolence.
His bitter gourd ridge lord Frio colluded with Viscount Bai Hua in an attempt to rob my property, and if I don't destroy him, heaven will not tolerate it!
Baron Victor, Lord of Orange, killed my father, and I am at odds with his hatred! Do not worry about any obstacles, for I declare that our army will be expanded to 20,000 men before the winter. ”。
Zhuge Duan looked at Xu Kuang in amazement and asked:
"But 20,000 people...... It's beyond the limits set by the kingdom. ”。
Xu Kuang nodded, and he said to Zhuge Duan:
"So there are 10,000 people from the tax office, the tax police who are responsible for collecting taxes."
All:......
Zhang Dameow whispered:
"Is it a violation of heaven for those who collect taxes, and they want to use 10,000 people to collect taxes ......?"
Everyone heard Zhang Dameow's muttering, including Xu Kuang.
Xu Kuang pointed at Zhang Da Meow and said to him:
"Since you have an opinion, then the chief of this tax police is you."
Zhang Da Meow looked at Xu Kuang in amazement, he didn't understand why Xu Kuang would let him be this chief.
Xu Kuang didn't explain, but continued:
"You remember one thing, and that is that we are now in a state of imminent war, don't think that we can make peace with our opponents, it's impossible, understand?"
Everyone stood up in unison and said to Xu Kuang:
"Understood!".
"Adjourned!".
Several military commanders stayed, and they needed to discuss with Xu Kuang about increasing the funds.
In the end, Xu Kuang waved his hand, and another 600,000 gold coins were thrown.
Zhuge Duan took a deep breath and sighed:
"My lord, I've been here for more than three months, and it's changed almost every day."
Xu Kuang smiled:
"Really? I just hate that it doesn't get fast enough, it's not strong enough! ”。
Zhuge Duan immediately heard Xu Kuang's displeasure.
He asked:
"Is the lord still worried about the affairs of Viscount Shirabirch?".
Xu Kuang sighed, and he asked:
"Mr. Zhuge , what do you think of this human kingdom?"
Zhuge Duan thought for a long time and said:
"It's rotten.".
Xu Kuang didn't ask why it was rotten, he knew that Zhuge Duan would answer:
"The society is declining, the king is mediocre, above the temple, the rotten wood is the official, the city fox is the rat, and the fly camp is the dog. Gaomen Jiuchi Meat Forest, the people are hungry for thousands of miles, they are easy to eat, the lives are miserable, the people are not happy, this country is rotten. ”。
Xu Kuang sighed, although he knew that these things were true, but from Mr. Zhuge 's mouth, it was really different.
Zhuge Duan put away his emotions and asked quite professionally:
"Why does the lord ask me these words?".
Xu Kuang smiled:
"I just saw the more than six million funds we made and thought of the system of this kingdom, to be honest, I am also a vested interest, but I don't want to do this."
Zhuge Duan asked:
"What is the Lord's intention?"
Xu Kuang sighed, and he said to Zhuge Duan:
"My plan is in three steps, the first step is to overthrow the king, smash the aristocratic class, and re-establish power; The second step is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the third step is to make everyone equal. ”。
When Xu Kuang said the words equality for all, Zhuge Duan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhuge Duan thought for a moment and asked:
"How long does the lord think it will take to complete this?"
Xu Kuang sighed and said to Xu Kuang:
"I don't know, and I probably never will, this is a wizarding world after all, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to see this in my lifetime. But I know that as long as I live, I will continue to do it. ”。
Zhuge Duan pounced, knelt on the ground, and said to Xu Kuang:
"The Lord is righteous! From now on, I am willing to smear the liver and brain of the Lord and participate in the righteous deed! ”。
Xu Kuang hurriedly helped Zhuge Duan up and said to Zhuge Duan:
"What if what we do is likely to be wrong?".
Zhuge Duandao:
"No regrets in dying!".
Xu Kuang was also infected, he held Zhuge Duan's hand tightly, and said to Zhuge Duan:
"No regrets in dying!".
Xu Kuang took a deep breath and said to Zhuge Duan:
"Let's continue to think about the next development strategy of Mushroom Ridge!"
Zhuge Duan also restrained his excitement and said to Xu Kuang:
"I understand!".
Xu Kuang nodded and said to Zhuge Duan:
"Sir, if we get the oil field, there will be no need for Xiangcheng Town to exist, and then all the people of Xiangcheng Town can move to Kugua Ridge to fill the personnel vacancy in Kugua Ridge."
Zhuge Duan nodded, and he said to Xu Kuang:
"I understand that two walls should be built near the oil field, high and low, the inner city is high, the outer city is low, the inner city is all the oil production equipment, and the outer city is where the oil extraction personnel live, how about it?".
Xu Kuang nodded and said to Zhuge Duan:
"Sir, this is a brilliant plan! I'm also going to build a road to connect the three places, what do you think? ”。
Zhuge Duandao:
"Very good!".
Xu Kuang nodded, and discussed some other things with Zhuge Duan.
……
It rained for two months, and the water in some places in Mushroom Ridge even reached the chest of adults, Xu Kuang calculated that there could even be more than 10,000 tons of big ships on Pearl Lake, of course, there didn't seem to be such a big ship in this world.
Wren is already laughing crazy, his dock has been doing a good business recently, and he can earn thousands of gold coins every month, although it can't be compared with Xu Kuang's business, but he is already very satisfied, and the funds he compensated Xu Kuang have all been made up, and he has made several times.
Wren also knew that the chiming bell was Xu Kuang's thing, but he didn't care anymore, he was ready to save money and get the most fashionable Mithril chiming bell at the moment, in Wren's opinion, there was hope for life.
In the past few months, Count Moriel sent people to transport tens of thousands of tons of iron ore, more than 100,000 tons of timber, and tens of thousands of tons of grain from the Pearl River, and Xu Kuang bought them all at a high price, spending millions of gold coins.
Although Moriel thought about cutting off contact, but the money was really fragrant, Moriel saw that the people of the territory had a full meal because of the sale of things, and it was not easy to cut off contact with Xu Kuang, so she could only turn a blind eye to Xu Kuang's illegal conscription.
In the past two months, Xu Kuang's army has expanded to more than 15,000 people, which is already the total strength of several surrounding lords.
Adhering to the concept of the supremacy of tactics, supplemented by the quality of soldiers, and supplemented by firepower output, he began to drastically transform the army.
Now Xu Kuang's 15,000 people have more than 50 M1 heavy machine guns, more than 100 MG42 general-purpose machine guns, and each team is equipped with an AK47.
In addition to having a little less artillery, Xu Kuang's firepower can already blow up these ordinary armies.
Xu Kuang took a deep breath, in the past few days, he has been constantly sending people to infiltrate the bitter gourd ridge, his main purpose now is to find out the strategic deployment of the bitter gourd ridge, and he is ready to attack the bitter gourd ridge at any time.
Xu Kuang sighed, he looked at the bitter gourd ridge below, he knew that in the next half a year, he would do a big thing.
Xu Kuang took a deep breath, his mood was a little complicated.
After a long time, Xu Kuang came back to his senses, he had been in this world for less than a year, and now he was already in a very high position, he didn't know what it meant to be a nobleman, so he had to do something meaningful with all his might.
Xu Kuang sighed, returned to his seat, and continued to work.
A day later, Xu Kuang received news from the scouts that Kugualing was currently frantically recruiting troops and horses, and offered much more favorable conditions than before.
Xu Kuang couldn't help but sneer, he knew that this was Frio couldn't sit still.
Xu Kuang sneered, and he said to his subordinates:
"Investigate and report again, remember, you must not let the other party find you, understand?".
The subordinate nodded and left the place.
Xu Kuang took a deep breath, and his mood was also a little excited, winning the bitter gourd ridge is equivalent to taking Xiangcheng Town, otherwise, even if he wins Xiangcheng Town, he can't manage it with confidence, and he doesn't know who to send to manage.
Xu Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, he wanted to find Zhuge Duan to catch up.
But Zhuge Duan is also very busy.
