"How many armored vehicles can Gewufang build? How much does each armored vehicle cost? If you want to build a logistics network covering Liyang, it won't be possible with just a few or dozens of vehicles." Chao Shen stared at Gu Chen closely.
, and everyone’s expressions turned stern when they heard this.
Yunqi heavy machinery has always been famous for being expensive. Since armored vehicles are such a sacred object, the cost of establishing a logistics fleet should not skyrocket. Is it possible for Liyang Mansion, which has an empty treasury, to afford it?
"Don't worry, I've also considered this. From the beginning, the armored car was designed for mass production, and the structure was greatly simplified. Except for the core engine, which requires a fusion caster to manufacture, the other components are at the level of ordinary caged cars.
It can be processed, so the cost won’t be too high.”
Compared to everyone who was worried, Gu Chen answered confidently.
"Currently, Gewufang has established a mass production system for armored vehicles, and there are more than ten samples in the warehouse that can be used at any time. If the current workshop group is fully put into production, it can produce approximately fifteen armored vehicles per week, and the annual output is estimated
With more than 400 vehicles, it should be enough to support Liyang's logistics system."
"Four hundred vehicles..."
There were gasps in the policy room.
Yunqi Heavy Machinery was originally an unattainable sacred object to Liyang Mansion. The sight of Gewufang building armored cars running all over the streets of Liyang undoubtedly had a great impact on everyone's common sense. However, Supervisor Chao Shen had also seen large-scale
It is not difficult to accept the Fang Zaoyong. After thinking about it for a while, I raised new questions.
"Even if they can be mass-produced, armored vehicles are of great importance. Even if Liyang Mansion takes the lead in building a logistics fleet, there won't be enough energy left to maintain these armored vehicles, right?"
"The structure of the armored car is designed to be very solid, and its use is not much different from that of a caged car. In fact, these days when Gewufang drives all over Liyang, there are only two or three repairs that need to be made, and they are all small things that ordinary craftsmen can handle.
Question." Gu Chen waved his hand. "If you have concerns, it doesn't matter if you use the rental form at the beginning."
"Lease? What is the law of leasing?" This topic attracted the attention of the middle-aged scribe.
"Well, specifically, the ownership of the armored vehicles is vested in Gewufang, and then Gewufang enters into a lease contract with Liyang Mansion. Gewufang is responsible for the maintenance of armored cars and recruitment of crews, etc. As long as Liyang Mansion pays rent, it can be free
Dispatch the transportation capacity of the train group." Gu Chen talked about the follow-up idea of popularizing armored vehicles.
"I remember that Liyang Mansion once borrowed a private pack team to transport supplies, and it felt similar to that. Of course, the actual operation will be more complicated than the pack team. Gewufang has already made plans in this regard, and the deputy director of my home office is currently making preparations for it.
Affairs."
"Oh, is His Royal Highness also involved in this matter..."
"In that case, leasing and buying are actually the same."
"Gewuge, do you really want to popularize heavy machinery in Liyang..."
Wu Zhen's name caused a commotion among the retainers, who whispered among themselves.
It is no secret that Princess Wu serves as the vice-president of Gewufang. Thanks to this, Gewufang is regarded as a member of the family by the Liyang Mansion. From proposing the idea of establishing a logistics network, to implementing the plan for the mass production of armored vehicles, to Wu Zhen
After the name was announced, everyone seemed to be listening to fantasy from beginning to end, and for the first time they had a real sense of the executability of the proposal of the Juvenile Supervision Department.
"Well, if you rent it, you don't need to make a separate budget, it can be put into use immediately..."
In fact, Li Ru, the minister, has begun to consider the plan of using Gewufang to provide transportation capacity.
"Being able to carry goods several times as efficiently as a pack team will also be very convenient in transporting materials. To stabilize people's livelihood, we must first make up for the supplies that are lacking in the market in the near future... Remember that some communities in the northwest can produce iron and salt, but the problem is the distance...
"
The minister, Li Ru, lay on the map to study the route and tried to recall the information in his mind.
It can be said that the Liyang Kingdom is the largest among the twelve vassal states. Although its manufacturing industry is far behind the Central Plains, it is not lacking in materials related to people's livelihood and the country. Its proximity to the Southern Barbarians has brought Liyang abundant products, such as Kinojina
Generally speaking, almost all the communities that have taken root in Liyang have special products. Unfortunately, they are hindered by the vast territory and wild monsters along the way, so the exchange of materials between the communities can only be carried out in a very small amount.
The general direction of establishing a logistics network to promote the economy is correct, but for Liyang at present, the most important thing is to solve the problem of lack of people's livelihood materials in the market after the sanctions of the princes. Relying on the excellent transportation capacity of armored vehicles, it can quickly travel from surrounding settlements
When transporting supplies, how to set up routes is a big problem.
"By the way, I want to give this to you."
Looking at the middle-aged scribe who was almost leaning against the map, Gu Chen took out a manual as if remembering it.
"This is?"
"This records the population, specialties, etc. of all the settlements on the map."
"What!?"
Gu Chen said it easily, but Li Ru, who reached out to take it, almost dropped the catalog with a shaking hand.
"Population and specialties? All colonies?"
Li Ru's hands were shaking as he held the catalog, and the officials around him also showed expressions of shock.
For any vassal state, understanding its own situation is the basis for formulating any national policy. Although it is easy to say, for Liyang, which is vast and sparsely populated, it is actually extremely difficult to simply grasp the correct number and location of domestic settlements and towns.
things.
Needless to say, the map Gu Chen brought, coupled with this directory recording the details of all the settlements in Liyang, was like lifting the fog that had shrouded Zichen Pavilion for a long time, and for the first time, he could clearly see his own territory!
Even if you don’t consider establishing a logistics network, it has indescribable value in governing the country!
Such a valuable object, but the Young Supervisor Division presented it so simply?
This time no one was able to speak. Everyone looked at the Young Supervisor Si as if they were looking at gods in the sky.
"Well, I only did a rough survey due to limited time, but it should be able to be used as a reference."
Gu Chen frowned and looked around, feeling a little uncomfortable with the suddenly quiet scene in front of him.
"...Bring me the report! I'm requesting a report for additional supplies these days!"
Under the bewildered attention of the Young Supervisor, the first person to come to his senses was the minister Li Ru. This veteran retainer who was in charge of Liyang's government affairs no longer had the usual demeanor of a scribe who was calm and unfazed by favors and humiliations. His face turned red.
Almost punching and kicking, he urged the clerks next to him to bring in the report sent to Zichen Pavilion.
After the clerk and others rushed to bring the report, the assistant minister Li Ru plunged into the map.
"As expected, we should dispatch iron and salt first... What? Is there any copper in that place!?"
"Yes, you can replenish most of the supplies by following this route...wait, it only takes three days to go back and forth?"
The middle-aged scribe immersed himself in studying the catalog and frequently let out sighs that were rare before. The heat radiating from the minister's body infected everyone, and the bosses of each company crowded around the map and began to discuss the policy of utilizing armored vehicles for logistics.
