The last stop after the meal is the dispatch center, which is equivalent to the finished product display center of the entire workshop city and is also the hub of the entire workshop city.
The criss-crossing water and land transportation lines all converge at the dispatch center. Looking at the complicated lines, they feel orderly.
The dispatch center of Gongfang City is now fully managed by Xue Xiang.
It's strange. When Zhao Xi asked Xue Xiang to come over temporarily, the so-called dispatch was temporary. The main purpose was to deal with the food shortage.
It's been a long time since this happened, and no one in the court thought of it.
As for Xue Xiang, he prefers to work here. Not to mention Qingxiang, the key is that he can learn a lot of new knowledge from here.
Originally, he thought that in the entire dynasty, he was definitely the best in terms of wealth, or the way of merchants.
After arriving here and getting in touch with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's team, he realized that he was in for a big deal.
Not to mention His Highness, even Li Jie and Su Song, including Lu Gongzhu and others who were not good at this, could casually express a few opinions that he did not understand.
More importantly, he discovered that the wealth generated by this workshop city is comparable to the annual income of the country. The finished products produced by this workshop city represent the future development direction of the country...
If you want to have a place in the future court, apart from your qualifications, you can only work in the team of His Highness the Crown Prince.
There are not just one or two Sansi Duzhi in the imperial court. No one cares if there are more or less.
It seems that it is good for everyone to lose a colleague who is good at this. In the whole court, there is a missing official who can arrange errands.
Or maybe no one cares, and they are just so confused anyway...
If it weren't for the dispatch center that needed his explanation, Xue Xiang would have deliberately avoided this visit. He really didn't want anyone to notice it.
I've been hiding all morning, but now I can't escape.
He is not a core figure in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's team. Although they have communicated and cherished each other, they have finally integrated into each other.
I haven't communicated with His Highness the Crown Prince because of my assignment. It's not appropriate. If I make a request, I don't know what His Highness will think.
Quite confusing.
He was not a Jinshi, otherwise he wouldn't be so entangled.
"The dispatch center has temporary storage warehouses for all workshops. At every hour of the day, the dispatch center's handymen will divide the orders by lines and assign them to each temporary storage warehouse, so that they can know the amount of goods shipped in each direction."
"The dispatch center's shipments are divided into four lines, namely southeast, northwest, and southeast. In the entire transportation system, there are transfer stations at the borders of different states, counties, and counties."
"If the layout of the rail network between China and North Korea is completed, all transfer stations will be located near the rail stations."
From the temporary storage warehouse to the shipping point, the entire process is introduced in detail.
Fortunately, no one asked about my title or assignment.
"Your Majesty, all ministers and ministers, since today's shipment has not been completed, I would like to take a leave of absence for the time being..."
"Wait a minute..."
Damn it! Xue Xiang regrets it! If he had known earlier, he would have told His Highness the Crown Prince that he could have just reported illness today and would not have faced such a situation.
If he mentioned his mission in this environment, it would be like going to court, and there would be no room for relaxation.
"Zizheng, how much armaments are being shipped now?"
Let me go! I was so scared to ask this.
"Returning to your Majesty, since the training of the Guard Battalion, Workshop City has shipped 71,518 pieces of armor..."
If it were earlier, Xue Xiang would only say: There are more than 70,000 tools, but not here. All data reports in Gongfang City include vague words such as probability, how much, and so on.
If it is inaccurate once, one month's salary will be deducted.
Although Xue Xiang does not receive a salary from Gongfang City, he does enjoy subsidies from Gongfang City.
"Seventy-one thousand five hundred and eighteen muskets, two hundred and eighty-five squatting tiger cannons, and one hundred and eighty-nine thousand, three hundred and sixty-one gunpowder shells were shipped. Ten base quantities of gunpowder were also shipped."
"Among them, 40% are from the Western Army, 30% from the Hebei Road, 20% from the Hedong Road, and 10% from the remaining military prefectures. They will basically be shipped according to the number of trained recruits."
These numbers are in my head. At the end of each day, there will be a summary of the shipped goods.
The forbidden army was originally a bunch of bad guys, but in the workshop city, all of them adhered to it very strictly, not only literate, but also dabbled in numeracy.
Xue Xiang thought that His Highness was training him, but it was not the case. The so-called Xiangjun were refugees, and there were many destitute students among them, and there were also many smart people.
Not surprising, with a base of nearly 100,000 people, no matter what, we can still select available people.
Just like the saying in the guard camp: Even if it is rotten wood, it must be carved into flowers in the guard camp.
"Xue Zizheng, will you send me as the third division commander?"
Alas, it’s still here.
"Replying to my husband, that's right."
"There are many kinds of barter in Gongfang City, and the transaction volume is very large. The court really needs to station branch officials in Gongfang City."
"From today onwards, Xue Zizheng takes office as the full-time governor of Gongfang City... Your Majesty, how good is this?"
Is this an expression of goodwill? It's not like the old rich man. He should think that Xue Xiang has a place to be useful here.
"good!"
This word "good" really made Xue Xiang feel ecstatic.
It finally made sense.
Whether it is a visit, a browse, or simply a gain of experience, there is always an end.
Even though the women were still in high spirits, the carriage back still took them back.
Tonight should be a lively night, and the entire Bianliang should be discussing everything about Gongfang City.
These are all visible to the outside and are non-core.
In the entire system, the guard camp should be the research and development center of later generations, and the workshop city is the manufacturing base.
Everything that can be visited and discussed is something you want people to know.
Zhao Xi knew very well what was going on in the imperial court and what was going on with the courtiers.
"Xi'er..."
Queen Cao couldn't remember how long it had been, and the inner garden had been in such a dilapidated state.
Several proposals for repairs were blocked by the ministers and ministers.
Now that I have money in my inner garden, and seeing how exquisite the workshop city is, some thoughts that were originally extinguished have been stirred up.
After seeing the Workshop City, no one dislikes that kind of environment, even the Queen is no exception.
But talking about repairing the inner garden to her son... Empress Cao was still a little embarrassed.
"Third brother, in today's inner garden, there will always be some surprises when there is wind, rain, frost and snow..."
Haha... Zhao Xi really wanted to laugh. Isn't it because this workshop city puts so much pressure on people? So much so that his family even hides what they say.
It’s true! At least today, or in the near future, the shock of Workshop City is hard to dissipate.
"The inner garden is being renovated and will be synchronized with the palace."
"Is the court going to build a public house?"
"After today's trip, can the courtiers still see the public servants in the court?"
Fu Bi did not let Zhao Xi speculate on his ministers with malicious intentions. The problem was that this was what they did, and it had nothing to do with whether they speculated or not.
Part of the supplies for the forbidden army were solved, finally allowing the court to spend more on armaments.
During this time of food shortage, the court had some money, and a new army of 70,000 to 80,000 troops had been equipped.
Therefore, it would be strange if these courtiers did not want to repair the palace.
When the dispatch center asked about armaments, Zhao Xi never thought that they were worrying about armaments, but rather preparing for the next deduction of armament expenditures.
