Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 72 There is no time when there is no shortage of money

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen thought he was rich. After all, he raised a wave of money, coupled with the proceeds from house raids, it was a large amount of original funds, reaching a scale of one million.

Subsequently, the output of the glass factory continued in a steady stream.If the newly added glass products are included this time, and the glass is produced through the mold pouring method, it is now estimated that there should be a net profit of 2 taels a month.After the scale increases in the future, even if the gross profit rate falls, the monthly profit will still increase.

It was precisely because of such confidence that Emperor Chongzhen told Zhou Yuji that money was not a problem, and he was indeed not lying.

However, on this day, he and Zhou Yuji went to the Military Bureau to find out the details, and after doing the calculation, Emperor Chongzhen was a little dumbfounded.

If you want to build a sophisticated ordnance, such as a blunderbuss, the crude ones only have a lifespan of about 30 rounds, and are easy to blow up, and the cost is about 2.3 taels; while the standard blunderbusses can reach a lifespan of about 3.8 rounds, each cost about [-] two.

Of course, this is still the previous price.In the 15 years since Chongzhen, it has risen to about 4 taels.And it is foreseeable that it will be more expensive in the future!

After the expansion, Zhou Yuji's department has tens of thousands of horses.

If half the men were musketeers, that would be 5000 men.Just for this item, the cost of the musket alone will cost 2 taels of silver.

Then it is estimated that if a musketeer scraps a musket according to training, then 5000 people will pay 4 taels of silver for muskets.

This is actually calculated according to the minimum limit. If it is a bird gun with a flintlock device, the cost will be even higher.

In addition, gunpowder, lead bullets, armor, knives, food, etc. for training musketeers also cost a lot of money.

Also, in Emperor Chongzhen's expectations, the more powerful the army, the better.At present, Zhou Yuji has only expanded to 1 people, and will continue to expand in the future.In addition to the troops of generals such as Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong, it would take at least 10 troops to truly obey his orders, isn't that too much?
Not counting rewards, it costs at least 40 a month to raise such an elite army!

However, the treasury's annual tax revenue is only about 200 million, and it may not be received yet.

Even if it can be received, it is less than 20 a month. There is no cost in other places, and it is not enough to just support the army.

The most important thing is that it is a troubled time right now, with wars and rebellions everywhere, and steel, gunpowder, food and other materials are basically getting more and more expensive.

In Emperor Chongzhen's original impression, the expenses of an army were basically just military pay.As for the ordnance, he originally thought that the cost was only about one-tenth of the cost.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen actually understood why the imperial army was so indiscriminate.

Even if he has money, he allocates funds for the army, but the result is only one-tenth of the fine ordnance.For this alone, they have to be exploited layer by layer by officials at all levels, and it is absolutely pitiful that they are actually in the hands of the army.

It's strange that such an army can fight!

The prerequisite for a strong army is to have money, enough money!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's head hurts.

Money, money……

I was short of money before, and I am still short of money now, and I think I will still be short of money in the future!

Why, if only there was a cornucopia!
No, one cornucopia is not enough, it is better to have ten or eight cornucopias!

I don't know when I will not be short of money!

Thinking of these, Emperor Chongzhen naturally thought of one person, and that was Liu Weichao.

And when encountering difficulties, he is now used to consulting with Liu Weichao.

Touching the mobile phone hanging on his chest with his hand, Emperor Chongzhen finally held back and decided to sort out today's affairs before asking Liu Weichao for advice in an orderly manner.

Thinking of this, he was also a little curious, wondering if Liu Weichao had developed any software?If he could help him make money earlier, he would have more energy to help himself!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen decided to find Concubine Tian Gui. Before asking Liu Weichao for help, it would be best if he could give Liu Weichao something.

Emperor Chongzhen understood this kind of human relationship.After all, he was not the kind of emperor who didn't have to think about others from birth.

…………

Besides, Liu Weichao received a message from Emperor Chongzhen early the next morning before he woke up.When he opened it, he saw various pictures of the suit he wanted.

"This efficiency is so fast!" Li Weichao had to sigh with emotion, and then carefully selected some photos, which basically included every part of the clothes, and left the small room after sorting them out.

Zhang Weijiang came back after he fell asleep last night, and today is Saturday again, so he was sure that Zhang Weijiang was still sleeping.

So Liu Weichao walked to the master bedroom and was about to knock on the door when he heard movement from inside.

After listening for a while, Liu Weichao couldn't help but shook his head, turned around and went back to do his own business first.

About an hour later, the door of the master bedroom opened, and Zhang Weijiang stretched and walked out.

Seeing Liu Weichao sitting on the sofa watching TV, he couldn't help being a little surprised and said: "It's true that the sun is coming out from the west. You are not working overtime on weekdays, no, you are working overtime when you are at work, and you are busy when you are not working." software, why are you free to watch TV now?”

Liu Weichao smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you!"

After he finished speaking, he added, "Have you finished talking on the phone early in the morning?"

"I still want to have sex again, but she was woken up by her mother!" Zhang Weijiang sat down on the sofa while talking, and asked, "What are you waiting for me?"

"If you want me to say, you two are so sticky, you might as well get married!" Liu Weichao suggested with a smile, and then said seriously, "Don't you want that outfit? I found a lot of detailed pictures and sent them to you for a look , see if you can make a set?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Weijiang was a little surprised, and quickly said, "Wait a minute, let me see."

After finishing speaking, he immediately stood up from the sofa, rushed into his room, and then walked out with his mobile phone in his hand while looking at it.

"Hey, it really is! It's the set I'm looking for!" Zhang Weijiang sat down on the sofa, and then said in surprise, "You really have it, and you can find so many detailed pictures, it's okay!"

"That's right, this kind of thing is not a problem for me!" Liu Weichao responded with a smile after hearing this.

Zhang Weijiang, who has always been chatty, didn't follow his words, but looked at the pictures seriously.

After a while, he raised his hand and patted Liu Weichao's knee, and said pleasantly: "Yes, it really helped me a lot. Now it's all over, Mingxiu's birthday gift will probably be settled!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, walked to his room, and said, "I'll go to the tailor right away and ask if it can be made and how long it will take to make it?"

When Liu Weichao heard this, he was waiting for this sentence, and quickly stood up and said, "Brother Zhang, I'll go with you!"
