If it weren't for the fact that his physical condition had improved a lot under the influence of the Qi and Blood Pill, Xia Yan would have suffered another wave of cerebral congestion.
But this time Xia Yan calmed down and began to analyze.
This is definitely not a bad thing!
Yes, there are indeed more troops, but many of them are people from foreign countries!
Whether it is ancient times or modern times, everyone knows one truth, that is, people who are not of my race must have different minds.
Putting thousands of foreigners in your own army is undoubtedly a huge powder keg.
This powder keg might have been fine in peacetime.
But in times of war like now, one careless move may very well lead to the loss of everything.
Isn’t what I need a powder keg like this?
To put it bluntly, this group of people have no objections, but they will definitely not wholeheartedly contribute to Daxia!
When it comes to the real moment of life and death, each one of them will definitely run faster than a rabbit!
Good thing!
Xia Yan, who wanted to understand everything, immediately showed a happy smile, the more such troops, the better!
It is best to allocate all resources to this group of troops without combat effectiveness. This will not only increase the combat effectiveness, but also consume a lot of manpower and material resources.
"Yuan Shangshu!"
"I'm here!"
"Starting from today, we must do our best to increase the supply of Huazi, so that each of our soldiers can have Huazi to smoke. The daily quota for each person must reach thirty pieces a day!"
"Hiss! Such luxury!"
Yuan Liyang's eyes flashed, and his old face was full of envy.
If he were several dozen years younger, Yuan Liyang would also want to report to the army right now.
Thirty huazi a day, but I don’t even have this share!
But in an instant, his face turned solemn.
Xia Yan has given himself a death order, and he needs to complete this matter as quickly as possible.
There are 20,000 people, and each person's share is thirty huazi, which means that 600,000 huazi will be produced in one day.
And this is just for now. The number of troops is increasing from hundreds to a thousand every day. This is undoubtedly another huge test.
With such a huge production volume, a few workers in the production workshop would have their hands cramped trying to roll cigarettes.
But he also knows that logistics is the number one priority in the military.
Don’t say anything anymore, let’s get started!
"Your Majesty, I'm leaving!"
Xia Yan nodded and asked subconsciously: "What are you going to do?"
"Roll up cigarettes!"
Yuan Liyang didn't say anything, just dropped this sentence and ran away in despair.
With more than 600,000 Huazi per day, I need to recruit a lot of people!
Soon, notices began to be posted everywhere in the square in Nanling Imperial City.
The content of the notice is very simple, it is to recruit Juan Huazi.
The threshold for recruitment is very low. As long as you can move your hands, you can be hired even if you can't walk.
The rewards you can get are also very generous. As long as you come here to Juan Huazi for four hours a day, you can get 50 Wen in rewards.
If the husband of a woman who comes here is serving in the army, she can receive free food and accommodation at the Ministry of Household Affairs.
As soon as such benefits came out, the square exploded.
You must know that many families only earn three or four taels a year, which is about one hundred cents per day.
Most of the people who came to apply for Juan Huazi were women.
These women rarely have the opportunity to make money at home. Now such an opportunity can allow them to earn about half of their family's income. How can they refuse it?
They wanted to go to Juan Huazi, but they refused at first.
But what can be done? The Ministry of Finance has given too much!
Later, such policies of the Ministry of Household Affairs also led to a large number of women applying for Juan Huazi.
The officials under the Ministry of Household Affairs are also very lenient with incoming people. Basically, they will just go through if there are no problems.
On the other side, Yuan Liyang was sweating profusely and directing everyone.
"Come on, come on, add a table here too! Put a table over there too!"
Huazi Factory wants to increase its production capacity, and expansion is inevitable. Many things must be purchased temporarily, and the Huazi forage ordered from the private sector also needs to be increased in large quantities.
Fortunately, the fodder required for making Huazi is still very common in Daxia. Not to mention 600,000 fodder per day, even 6 million fodder is not a big problem.
The speed on both sides was very fast. Just after Xia Yan expressed the need to increase the production of Huazi in the morning, most of the personnel and equipment were in place within an afternoon.
When the court went to court on the second day, Yuan Liyang was the first to stand up and start reporting.
It can be seen that he was busy all night yesterday, and now he still has two huge dark circles under his eyes.
In order to improve, he came to the center of the court and took a deep breath of Huazi. After feeling refreshed, he began to report.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, a total of 600 female workers were recruited yesterday and more than 300 pieces of equipment were added. It is expected that Huazi's output will increase rapidly today!"
After hearing Yuan Liyang's words, everyone became energetic.
"Hey, if you want me to say it, I still have to take the initiative from Old Yuan. If you can handle things so beautifully in just one afternoon, wouldn't it mean that our son will be found in the future too!"
"Yes, yes, Old Yuan did a good job this time. Your Majesty, I think you should reward him with two hundred and a few bucks so that he can go back and smoke as much as he can!"
"Yes, six hundred people and three hundred equipment are not a small amount. It must have taken a lot of effort to complete it in one afternoon!"
Listening to the rainbow farts of a group of old men, Yuan Liyang was also in a state of excitement, and he almost flew up when he was puffing away at the clouds.
Unlike before, Xia Yan was very happy this time after hearing Yuan Liyang's words.
"Yuan Shangshu, you have done a very good job. Huazi's increase in production is a national plan and must not be delayed. But what kind of equipment are the more than 300 pieces of equipment you have added?"
"Uh, table."
"...It's okay, it's more convenient to have a table with Juan Huazi."
"Yes, we are rushing to make chairs today, and all female workers need to balance work and rest."
Hearing this, Xia Yan nodded heavily, "That's great!"
Then, as if he had thought of something, he continued to say to Yuan Liyang: "By the way, Yuan Shangshu has done a good job in recruiting people this time. He will reward Hua Zi with three hundred sticks. You can smoke more when you return."
"okay!"
Seeing Yuan Liyang as excited as a monkey, a group of old men looked on with envy.
This is three hundred flower seeds. You won’t be able to become an immortal after drawing them!
Soon, as Yuan Liyang retreated, another old man came out.
This old man was also one of Xia Yan's first seven court masters, and his name was Xu Jing.
Xu Jing's position is Minister of the Ministry of War, and his rank has reached the second level. In the past, when there were no Zhuge Liang and others, he was only slightly lower than Zhu Ming.
It's just that because the Daxia Dynasty has always been relatively weak, the presence of this Minister of War has not been very high.
It was also thanks to his expedition to the Yu Kingdom that he had a rare opportunity to perform. This chapter has been completed!
