Li Sheng has not been involved in the production line for a long time. After all, after establishing a factory or something like that...
No, it should be said that after the Chengxi Academy in Chang'an was established, it had a group of skilled workers who were more useful than workers. Of course, I no longer needed to mess around with various things by myself every day, and instead was busy designing...
Therefore, Li Sheng made special arrangements for himself on this day. On the one hand, he handed over the design draft to Wu Meiniang and prepared for production... On the other hand, he also came to the factory to check out the situation, and...
Feel the industrial ecology of Datang!
After wandering around for a while, Li Sheng was in a very good mood.
Apart from anything else, at least everyone in this shipyard is very busy, whether they are ordinary shipwrights or "engineers" who are running around with small notebooks and college background. Obviously...
They all have what they want and have decided on this path.
If the goals are clear and the ideas are clear... then the prospects can be imagined.
Li Sheng thought to himself that with this energy, even in the world before he traveled, it was worth buying half a stock or something... Of course, Li Sheng would not buy a full position.
But when I looked back, I saw Wu Meiniang and Wei Ziyu both in a daze.
In terms of age, I am just in my early twenties... Wu Meiniang is similar in age to me, but she is still a little older. I really should call her sister.
And Wei Ziyu is several years older than herself, and Li Sheng's world view...or view of superiority and inferiority is of course very different from this era. Respecting people older than oneself is also a thinking instinct, which is different from Lao Li's.
Fighting...it's just a fight between gentlemen, and it has nothing to do with superiority or inferiority.
...So seeing these two "seniors" in a daze, Li Sheng felt a little different.
"You...are you practicing yoga here..."
Li Sheng inexplicably remembered that there seemed to be such a thing as meditation in yoga...
Wu Meiniang smiled quickly, "What did the young master say? We...are not waiting for the young master's orders."
"Oh... uh. Mei Niang, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot, what..."
Li Sheng scratched the back of his head and said, "The internal combustion engine is finished, but it needs to be put into production... Because it is a new model this time, we will not start commercial operation yet."
Although... the West Lake Industrial Zone is currently doing something shocking, that is, selling the most advanced internal combustion engine seagoing ships. Moreover, this was Li Sheng's idea.
However, this does not mean that Li Sheng is a fool who thinks that everyone is a good person, and he still has a strong point in his heart.
New models of technological products can be sold, but...
Of course, this "new model" can only be a new model for the market. As long as the product remains more competitive than other merchants, the real new model...
Of course, it still has to serve military purposes. But in this regard...
Li Sheng continued, "I won't be able to sell it for a while, and the imperial army will use it again. The cost... Mei Niang, please repair a book for me."
"Repair a letter?"
Wu Meiniang didn't react for a moment, and Wei Ziyu also looked at Li Sheng with some confusion, and then saw Li Sheng shrugging, "Of course I am repairing the book for Your Majesty, and asking him to give money to our industrial zone... After all, the green and yellow are not accepted, and it is a new model...
…It’s impossible to use a new model without spending money.”
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she nodded quickly, thought for a while and asked, "How much does it take for me to wake up? It's easy for me to think about it..."
Since it was a letter to the emperor and a ghostwriter for Li Sheng, Wu Meiniang had to ask clearly and make sure there were no mistakes in wording or anything else. However, Li Sheng then said, "Let me think about it, around two million guan... should be about the same."
.”
Wu Meiniang:......
As soon as the number came out, Wu Meiniang fell silent instantly, and even Wei Ziyu was shocked.
Although she has an extraordinary background, it is not that she has never seen the world... No, it should be said that she is also the most experienced among the young people of the Tang Dynasty. But when she heard the number of two million strings, she couldn't help but take a deep breath in shock.
tone.
"Really want so much? This..."
Wu Meiniang was a little frightened and couldn't help but ask again.
And this is what Wei Ziyu feels in his heart, this number simply... doesn't sound real!
Although he did not study the world and govern the country, he was not ignorant of world affairs. He also knew... what a huge number this number was. Wei Ziyu recalled it for a while and felt... His father talked about important court affairs, such as disaster relief and food issues.
, there are not so many...
But before Li Sheng could speak, Wu Meiniang added another surprising statement.
"Young master's shares in this industrial zone have only earned two million yuan in savings so far... this..."
Obviously, Wu Meiniang was a little confused about how to word her words...
For a while, I even felt that ghostwriting and editing such a book was a bit beyond my capabilities.
And Wei Ziyu was really about to faint. Even though she was the daughter of the prime minister, the number was too astonishing!
Then Li Sheng smiled and said,
"Do you think two million dollars is too much? Let's put it this way... It's not at all. I can get so much, and His Majesty will certainly get more. Besides... the value of industrial output exceeds the value of agricultural output. This
It is natural that the scale of currency becomes more and more exaggerated, after all..."
With that said, Li Sheng glanced at the busy scene inside the factory, then turned to look outside the factory in the distance, at the even busier ships and sailors on the dock... and then said with a leisurely smile,
"After all, this is what industrialization is like..."
…
Li Sheng's long words turned into a memorial and were sent to Chang'an to be imprisoned.
Then Li Erbai agreed with mixed emotions to approve the huge amount of national currency, and the factory worked day and night and started production non-stop...
Finally, in the night, the black lead clouds were sinking and suppressing the Hangzhou port in the black night.
Groups of special ships finally left quietly...
This time, Chai Shao led the soldiers of Zhongzuo and drove out almost all the warships!
Just for fear of damaging these special mysterious warships, the soldiers and generals of the Imperial Guard who came to sail the ship were all the most capable people, and the warships who came to escort the original Imperial Guard ships from the center and left were
, the staffing is not that good.
It is very strange to say that this time...
The ships built in the West Lake Industrial Zone were originally warships. However, when they went to sea for the first time, they were personally escorted by the general of the dynasty and brought with them a fleet of large ships... This was actually unreasonable. Chai Shao did not need it.
, from the principle that the military pursues cost-efficiency, it should not put on such a grand display.
But this time, Chai Shao could not convince himself not to be prepared.
When he first received the news from Li Sheng that there was a batch of new ships for him to receive, Chai Shao was not so excited, but after actually coming to learn about it a few days ago...
