There is no white lace-edged tablecloth, only a traditional blue batik floral cloth.

There are no goblets or red wine. There is only a jar of authentic Shandong Erguotou and a large bowl.

By the way, the guard also thoughtfully made a plate of peanuts.

Now there is only two taels of pork head, and then it is perfect.

Although it's awesome, it's going to be there.

Click a little bit and let your two loyal subordinates sit on one side of the Eight Immortals table.

"Warring will lead to death. This is the teaching of the saint, and what he said makes sense. But in fact, it doesn't necessarily make sense."

Xu Jie humbly asked for advice: "What do you think of the boss?"

"A war will perish. It means internal war. Everyone consumes their own strength in the end. Just in that sentence, the meat is rotten in the pot. But I think that our current Xinming is no less than another foreign war."

Xu Jie and Li Yue deeply agree with this point.

"Since it is a foreign war, according to my principle, this is a business. Our investment in this war is capital."

Then he pointed to the battlefield in full swing: "For example, now, every shell we have is a ten-yuan ocean. Every time we die a brother, it is a pension for the fifty oceans in the future. In Mr. Li Yue's calculation, it is a burning money."

Li Yue asked, "Isn't it?"

Wang Xuejun thought it was necessary and instilled in them his own ideas. In fact, it was the idea that a beautiful country in later generations would start wars everywhere.

This also gives the best vaccination for the group of people closest to him after seizing the entire Central Plains in the future.

"You only see the effort, but not the income. For example, this time we invested in shells and arms, and the lives of the soldiers, we will make a huge investment. But you never expected that as long as I win this Zhenjiang in this war, I will actually make a profit."

"Can you see?"

"Look at Zhenjiang, let's not talk about anything else, the Jinshan Wharf, which is opposite to us, called the Sisters Ferry. All materials transported from Jiangnan to the north have to pass here, either to the north, to the east, or to Sichuan. How much tax can this ferry bring to us in a year? I conservatively estimate that this one piece of income alone can make up for the consumption in our war."

With this explanation, the two people had to admit this economic principle.

"And what you think is the expense of an undermine pit, I'm even more opposed."

"That's all the expenses of our court's Ministry of Revenue. If it weren't for this huge war consumption, why would there be a hole of 3 million this year in our Ministry of Revenue?"

Wang Xuejun smiled and shook his head: "The current flowering bullet is no longer like in previous years. I asked me to pay and buy it from abroad. That is to kill one and lose 10 yuan. Now my military factory is enough to supply our army's needs."

“Is there any difference?”

"Of course there is a difference, but the same thing is, the meat is rotten in the pot.

The 10-yuan flowering bullet was purchased by the Ministry of Revenue from my factory. My profit was for each shell, and I made five-yuan dollars."

Hearing such profits, these two confidants couldn't help but exclaim, and Xu Jie sighed: "So let's say that we can kill 10,000 shells in this war and make 50,000 yuan in winter? No wonder the boss always says he has money."

Then he said to Li Yue: "I'll inform your fleet quickly and fight me, and fight with great enthusiasm."

"Xu Jie, you can't say that, because I have to pay 30% of the tax on the 50,000 yuan I earn, so this amount of funds is equivalent to returning to our treasury."

Li Yue was not ashamed of his regent's greed. "Then you still make more than three dollars in the ocean."

Wang Xuejun smiled and said, "Your statement is wrong. I have to pay workers in these three oceans. Based on the current wages, because multiple people cooperate, it is five cents per person."

Li Yue nodded.

"But, my factory employs tens of thousands of workers, which is equivalent to relocating tens of thousands of strong laborers for our entire Shandong and Xinming district, and supporting tens of thousands of families. With their wage income, society will be stable. Isn't this an intangible income?"

Li Yue thought about it for a while and finally nodded to admit this fact.

"When this worker got a generous wage, they supported the family and made the family peaceful and prosperous. Isn't this another invisible income?"

Li Yue clapped his hands: "That's true."

"However, this worker has to buy rice and noodles with this wage."

"Of course."

"Then in the transaction, the treasury collected another four cents of tax."

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect this.

"The merchant who sold the goods had to purchase the goods, so the treasury would collect another 4 cents of tax, and then wholesale it to his merchant, and also needed to purchase the goods, so he paid another 4 cents of tax to the treasury.

And that's not all. On the way to purchase goods, you need to hire manual transportation and various consumptions. But as long as there is a link of consumption, it will feed a group of people, and continue to generate consumption for this society, drive business prosperity, and let the treasury collect layer by layer of taxes again."

Li Yue and Xu Jie opened their mouths in surprise.

"I have calculated that 10 ocean shells can feed at least four classes of people invisibly. Half of the taxes and fees paid by these four classes will enter the treasury. The remaining 5 oceans can allow at least 20% of the people to live a prosperous life. Do you think I am burning money or making contributions to the country?"

Looking at the two people who were completely fucked: "Especially, I only used 5 yuan to recover Zhenjiang. Not only did I solve the dagger that was forced into my throat, Yangzhou City, but I could also collect taxes and recover the money in Zhenjiang City. So do you think our shells should be fired?"

After a long time, although his head had not turned around, the two of them nodded like a goose: "It's time to beat him."

"What are you waiting for? Why don't you notify Yu Minzhong and fire desperately?"

So Li Yue and Xu Jie jumped up and shouted: "For the prosperity and strength of Xinming, fire the fire-fire-"

In fact, in front of such a tragic battlefield, we are always talking about economy, especially when we always talk about price comparisons with the lives of soldiers. This is very inappropriate.

After looking at the soldiers who were still attacking the mountain, they had no direct results except for the death and injuries.

Coupled with such a long period of attack, the attacking troops were exhausted.

The slowdown in speed increases casualties.

So Wang Xuejun stood up and ordered the messenger behind him: "Let the team retreat and rest, and let the cannons by the river rest for a while."

With the sound of the suona sent by the soldiers behind, the cannons stopped. The soldiers retreated back to their starting positions like a tide.

After a brief cleanup of the number, the Xinming army lost 1,000 people in just this period of attack.

Sun Chuan, the chief of the fourth team of ten thousand men, ran to Wang Xuejun: "Why should we withdraw our troops? Just give me half an hour and I will take down this mountain. This was a failure."

Wang Xuejun picked up the wine bowl in front of him: "General Sun took a sip of wine and suppressed his anger. Your team has become the last of its strength. I will give you two more hours, and you can't take it down."

Sun Chuan tidied his neck, but eventually had to admit this fact.

Drink the wine in one sip: "Thank you for your reward, wait for me to rest for an hour before I attack again. I don't believe I can't take this small mountain."

Wang Xuejun smiled: "I don't have time to give the enemies on the mountain a rest."

Then he looked at the 50,000th captain who was eagerly watching him: "General Ren, in two quarters of an hour, the navy's cannon will continue to fire. I need you to carry the shells."

Ren Quanfei immediately answered the order: "Your Majesty is waiting for my good news."
