Chapter 386: Expand!
"Uncle...... This one is still being done.... As you know, there are a lot of displaced people coming to the camp every day to work.
Some of them are homeless herdsmen on the grassland, and some of them are wandering in Zhangjiakou from the south, and they also come here when they hear that the wages we are giving here are very high. ”
Ah Fu was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Zhao Ming's face was getting more and more ugly, he still hurriedly said,
"But I've already figured out that the total number of permanent residents in the camp is now as high as 150,000, and in the last two months alone, it has increased by nearly 60,000.
However, the number of people has begun to decline since this month, and it should be that the nearby migrant workers are almost exhausted. ”
"One hundred and fifty thousand?"
Hearing this number, Zhao Ming's face improved a lot, this number was something he didn't expect.
Generally, those who can come here to work know that most of them are manual work, and naturally they are young and strong laborers, and their age will not exceed forty or fifty years old.
These are reserve resources.
"What about the horses?" Zhao Ming continued to ask.
"About 30,000 horses, if they are used for war horses, only 8,000 can be drawn at most. The rest.... As you know, the camp is in dire need of capacity.
Now the mine is shipped out tons and tons of coal every day, and the sales channels on Brigade Commander Ren's side and Zhang's side have been opened.
In addition, the stallion must be bred, otherwise the expansion of the horse herd will also be affected. ”
Ah Fu's meaning Zhao Ming understood, it was nothing more than eight thousand was the upper limit.
Once the war horse is misappropriated too much, on the one hand, it will seriously affect the transportation capacity, and on the other hand, it will also affect the breeding.
If you breed, the war horse can't work too hard.
"Then continue to purchase, and tomorrow will start to issue notices, to buy horses, must be fat and strong, and the purchase price will be according to twenty oceans per horse.
In addition, I issued a notice on the work of workers, I give ten oceans every month, as long as the age is appropriate, can bear hardships and stand hard work, those who come will not refuse! ”
Zhao Ming made a decision directly.
Ah Fu was taken aback by this slap, and the whole person had a stress reaction, and now he was very afraid that his uncle would suddenly come here, because every time it meant that a lot of money was spent.
"Aunt..... Father.... Why don't we think about it again? I'm worried about the financial ......"
After following Zhao Ming for so long, Ah Fu gradually understood what his aunt wanted to do.
This is definitely not just the case of being a parent in one place, but the plan is very big.
But no matter how Huo Huo didn't do it.
"How much money is left in the treasury now?" Now a large amount of money is spilled out every month, and there is also a lot of hot money pouring in, Zhao Ming really doesn't know how much money there is in the treasury now.
"About seven million oceans...."
Ah Fu said, and hurriedly added, "But uncle, that's not how it is calculated, we have to pay about one million in interest every month.
Now that there is hot money pouring in, it is better to say that once there is no money coming in for several months, the capital chain will completely collapse.
In addition, once we recruit enough manpower, plus our monthly salary, wages, and the wear and tear of training ammunition.
Now alone, it has to spend nearly 200,000 oceans every month.
And as you said, the first batch of military uniforms is also being purchased, which is another big military expense.
If we continue like this, my uncle will be finished in less than half a year! ”
Ah Fu is really worried now, he used to have a smile on his face every day when a lot of money poured in every day.
Later, when he learned that he had to pay a large amount of interest every month, he never smiled again.
And laughed.
After doing it for a long time, the money had to be sent out.
However, the next moment, the words that his uncle said made him a little dumbfounded.
"Oh, so we can hold on for half a year? That's fine, just as I say, military uniforms should be procured.
In terms of military spending, they could not save money, and when they contacted their predecessors, they said that they had to purchase the next batch of arms.
These ammunition are really not disabled. ”
Zhao Ming waved his hand, and then took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.
For half a year, as long as he can continue to play for a month, he will not panic.
"By the way, did Lao Guo come over recently?" Zhao Ming directly skipped the previous topic and asked instead.
"Uncle, what did you say about Boss Guo?"
"Yes."
"Boss Guo arrived the day before yesterday, and he has been looking for you to drink, and he also brought a large number of armor that you wanted."
"Oh, the armor has been tested?"
"After that, according to what you said, we paid according to the high price."
"Hmmm! Yes, in the future on these injustices.... Partners, we can't be stingy, we must pretend to be atmospheric.
Also, how long have you been wearing this garment? ”
Saying that, Zhao Ming looked up and down Ah Fu's dress with some dissatisfaction.
This also made the originally confident Ah Fu a little unconfident.
He couldn't help but take a closer look at what he was wearing.
"Uncle, this is the new clothes I brought from Fengjiazhuang, they are still very new, and they have been worn for about half a year, and they are still being changed."
"No! Buy it for me again, spend a lot of money on the best fabrics, don't save me money!
You're my Minister of Finance, what's the matter with you wearing this?
Others who don't know think that we are poor and can't afford to wear new clothes and good clothes!
I lost this body, change it for the best! ”
Zhao Ming didn't give Ah Fu the possibility of refusing at all.
If you want to cheat money, how can you do it without a good outfit?
Not only does Ah Fu have to change, but he also has to change, and he has to buy a few more sets that will not be duplicated every day.
"Okay, you go down first, I'll let Lao Guo come over later, I have something to talk to him."
Zhao Ming waved his hand, and when Ah Fu left with some confusion, the door of the compartment was pushed in, and a beautiful figure walked out.
The person who came was none other than Tao Yan, naturally it was Tao Yan.
Since the gradual beginning of spring, Tao Yan's clothes have gradually returned to normal, and the light clothes during the day highlight her delicate figure to the fullest.
I don't know if it's because of her unique skin, maybe it's because she rarely goes out, her skin is still fair, but it's just a little drier than the woman in the Jiangnan water town.
It can't be helped, it's due to the geography here.
Rao is so, her skin is still the whitest here, even a few Mongolian prisoner of war women with Russian blood can't compare.
I saw her walking to the front with a teacup, and after changing a pot of tea for Zhao Ming, she retreated again.
Zhao Ming thought about letting the people around him cooperate in some government affairs, but Zhao Ming still didn't want the people next to him to do these things.
Regardless of whether this person is a wife or not, this thing is not allowed.
Don't look at some things that the ancients were very pedantic, but there is a certain saying about this matter, just like rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, it is taboo for close people, especially those who share the same bed, to help deal with affairs.
If it's okay to just do business, it's not okay to involve government affairs.
