"Today, I was shocked!" Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said to Liu Weichao as soon as the call was connected.
When Liu Weichao heard this, he asked curiously: "What's the matter? What happened?"
But he was not very surprised. It had been Chongzhen for fifteen years, and there must have been a lot of bad things, either this or that, and it must have been mostly bad news!
Emperor Chongzhen waited for him to ask and quickly answered him: "I thought I was already rich, but today I summoned Zhou Yuji and found out that to build a strong army, the money spent is just like running water. I only have this little money."
, far from enough, alas!”
He was embarrassed to say "Give me another way to make money" right away, so he used this kind of opening statement to express his meaning tactfully.
This also shows that people's adaptability is still very strong. Because Emperor Chongzhen himself knew that his status as emperor was of no use to Liu Weichao in another world.
As a result, he naturally changed his way of speaking.
When Liu Weichao heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Of course, it's said that fighting means making money, so you must spend money like water! But don't worry, with me here, there are many ways to make money."
This was what Emperor Chongzhen wanted. He was very happy when he heard it, and he quickly said gratefully: "I knew you would help me!"
"Of course!" Liu Weichao smiled and said, "Now you help me and I help you. The two of us help each other. I help you strengthen the country and you help me start a business, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and said happily, "I will help you start a business, and you will help me strengthen the country!"
After he finished speaking, he asked a little embarrassedly: "What does starting a business mean? Does it make money?"
"Yes!" Liu Weichao replied after hearing this, "Entrepreneurship is to create your own business, which is to make money!"
After a pause, he obviously thought about it, and then continued to say to Emperor Chongzhen: "Let's talk to me in detail about the army, and I will make improvements based on your situation, so as not to
Just like last time, you can't understand what I told you, so it's unrealistic."
After finishing speaking, looking at Emperor Chongzhen's face, he didn't seem to be too surprised, so he explained to him: "I think it should reduce your costs, and maybe the quality will increase.
Once you do it, you can save a lot of money."
Emperor Chongzhen was reasonable when he heard it, and he also felt a little guilty. Like last time, he didn't understand this or that. As an emperor, he still has some self-respect.
The method Liu Weichao mentioned is an improvement on the basis of reality. It is definitely no problem. If you can understand it and save a lot of money, it will be equivalent to spending a lot of wasted money. In the future, the more troops there are, the more money will be saved.
more.
With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen quickly explained to Liu Weichao what he had encountered today, including the cost of ordnance and so on.
Emperor Chongzhen took the trouble to explain in detail armor, muskets, weapons, and even gunpowder, etc., until his mouth went dry.
After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen finally finished speaking, and finally asked expectantly: "What I want is sophisticated ordnance. Is there any way you can keep it sophisticated and save money at the same time?"
After Zhou Yuji explained to him, Emperor Chongzhen already knew the importance of sophisticated ordnance to the army, so he must ensure that the ordnance was excellent.
Another point is that in his point of view, he always feels that quality and saving money are in conflict with each other.
If someone told him that they could ensure excellent weapons and save money at the same time, he would definitely think that they were deceiving him.
However, there were too many things that surprised him in Liu Weichao's time. Therefore, he still had some expectations, thinking that Liu Weichao could solve the problem of having sophisticated ordnance and saving money at the same time.
After Liu Weichao listened, he immediately said with a smile: "Of course you can, your methods are too primitive. If you adopt automated assembly line operations or improve some measures, you can save a lot of money, and the production speed can be greatly improved."
Improvement!"
"What?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand very well when he heard it, because there were several concepts that he had never heard of and didn't understand. However, it did not prevent him from understanding Liu Weichao's general meaning. There was a way to get him here
Ordnance creation, faster, better and cheaper!
So, with surprise, he quickly asked: "What is automated assembly line operations?"
Emperor Chongzhen felt that this thing was a bit profound and the key.
After hearing this, Liu Weichao explained to Emperor Chongzhen: "It's an operation like running water. Everyone is only responsible for a part of it. Of course, you can't automate it in your time, but just changing this approach will definitely speed up the process."
It will also improve. I will tell you some necessary tools, and the speed will be faster. It is just a musket, and you have to build it for a month or two. This speed is really too slow!"
At this point, when Emperor Chongzhen asked, he continued: "For example, many of your power sources can be hydraulic, or simply steam power. Not only can the quality be improved, but the speed is also faster. Also, your steel-making method
, gunpowder production can be improved, and the cost can be reduced a lot. I don’t remember the details. I will look up the information later and send it to you."
Emperor Chongzhen was filled with joy after hearing this, and the harvest was beyond his expectation.
But when he thought of something, he became a little worried again, and quickly asked: "Do these cost money? Is it a lot? You haven't worked for several days, do you still have money?"
He himself was afraid of being poor and was very concerned about money. He was also worried that Liu Weichao would not make money, and if he had no money, it would be difficult to help him.
Liu Weichao laughed after hearing this, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Don't worry, I still have some savings, I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't spend much money."
Having said this, he took advantage of the situation and said: "By the way, I just want to find you too, and I have found another way for you to help me make money."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very happy. This kind of people who come and go is the best, so he quickly asked Liu Weichao and asked him to tell him how to make money. As long as he could help, he would definitely help.
Therefore, Liu Weichao also told Emperor Chongzhen about the jewelry. When Emperor Chongzhen heard that it was such a simple matter, he immediately agreed and promised that Liu Weichao would be satisfied.
In this way, both parties are looking forward to it, waiting for the other party to send them what they want the next day.
