I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

The expansion of personnel means that many supporting things have to keep up.

Luo Shixing pondered for a long time and said, "Why don't you... just set up a military factory? It's also under your command, supported by military expenses."

In fact, Luo Shixing had thought about this problem before. The military expenditure of the army could not be allocated by them all the time, and it was said before that the military expenditure should not go to the Ministry of Finance, so naturally the Ministry of Finance could not be allowed to pay for it now.

Then there needs to be a source of military expenses. Although Luo Shixing can afford it, it is unhealthy. If he is willing to raise it, will his successor be willing?

It's not like their alliance disbanded after he disappeared, so they always think about the future.

The military factory is a good way. The military factory does not necessarily only produce things for soldiers. They can also process some daily necessities and sell them to ordinary people.

In the later generations of flower growers, the military factories have almost been reformed, but as long as the predecessors are military factories, it means that the quality of the products of these factories can still be guaranteed.

From the perspective of future generations, the military factory model is actually a failure, but it is the only way to go now.

Sometimes Luo Shixing has to sigh with emotion, not really predicting the future can be done in one step, and doing things must be combined with the current situation. The model of later generations is good, but it is not suitable for the present.

Cheng Jingwei was also very interested in military factories, so he directly asked, "How do we do it?"

Luo Shixing said: "The workers in the military factory can put the soldiers' families first, especially the textile factories, it is best to be young ladies."

This can be regarded as providing employment opportunities for women, so that these women have the opportunity to come out.

Although everyone in the manor has something to do, most of the women still take care of the family and take care of the children, and they don't come out to work.

It's not that Luo Shixing thinks there's anything wrong with housewives, that's the rule of this era.

But he is also willing to give those women who want to be independent a chance, at least so that they will not want to be independent and have nowhere to turn.

Fortunately, the great defense of men and women in the Tang Dynasty was not as serious as in later generations, otherwise it would not be easy to do so.

Cheng Jingwei didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In the eyes of the people nowadays, silkworm raising and weaving are indeed women's jobs.

He just said: "The military uniform is only a short-term gap, and it doesn't need too many people."

Luo Shixing glanced at him: "Can't you make clothes for ordinary people? Make military uniforms when you need them, and ordinary clothes when you don't need them."

Originally, Luo Shixing thought that everyone's uniforms and the like would be made by the military factory, but thinking about it, Wang Yan had already organized people to make uniforms and everyone's uniforms for them before thinking about it.

There are also people who serve Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei, who only make clothes for them and don't care about anything else.

So recently both of them began to wear embroidery on their regular clothes.

As soon as Luo Shixing said that there was no need to be special, Wang Sui asked if he wanted to send all these people home.

Luo Shixing: ...

What else can he say?These little ladies who make clothes for them can earn a penny anyway, and if they rush home, they will have nothing at all.

Luo Shixing thought that when the military factory was built, the two sides would be merged sooner or later, and no one would try to make something special for me!

The start-up funds for the military factory were available, and Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei began to toss about this matter. In fact, the most difficult thing about building a factory was probably the equipment problem.

Everyone turned a blind eye to the "doing nothing" of these two people.

The bosses think that it is a very good thing to have a "boss" who learns to let go. Luo Shixing will not easily interfere with what they do. He will only intervene when making more important decisions, and leave the rest of the time to them.

This kind of work mode is very relaxed from top to bottom, and Luo Shixing doesn't have to do everything himself, he can do things he wants.

The establishment of the military textile factory has made many people curious. People are not interested in making military uniforms, but they are very interested in the upcoming ready-made clothing store.

Because Luo Shixing's uniforms are very special, they are modified Tang suits, but they are not so exaggerated. They just make the clothes more close-fitting, and the shoulder lines are more obvious. After wearing them, they feel more energetic.

As a result, many people in the manor also tried to make this style of clothes. It was good and effective, but they didn't know the point. Compared with the uniforms and uniforms of the alliance managers, there was always something wrong.

Now we want to open a clothing store, if it is not very expensive, many people want to buy a set back.

At first, both Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei felt that the clothing store might not do very well.

The people below have just got rid of poverty and have a little extra money in their hands, so they may not be so keen on buying clothes. More people may like to save their money, whether it is buying a house or renting more land. good.

Anyway, the alliance and the Ouluo people don't really distinguish each other now. Ale really set aside all the land suitable for farming of the Ouluo people. If anyone wants to rent it, they can rent it.

The only thing that is more troublesome is the payment of taxes, but because the recent construction of the county town is funded by the alliance, Ale really closed his eyes and simply asked Luo Shixing and others to contract the infrastructure of the entire Ouluo tribe, and then he kept part of the tax and paid most of it. to the union.

After solving this problem, everyone's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, and they rented and planted a lot of land within their ability, let alone spending a lot of money on clothes.

What they didn't expect was that on the day when the clothing store opened, many people went to the clothing store, and there was a long queue at the door of the clothing store!

Looking at the heat of the clothing store, Luo Shixing couldn't help but hold his face and asked, "Are they so idle? Why do they still join in the fun?"

Cheng Jingwei looked at the list in his hand and said with a sigh: "It should not be for fun, but for real shopping. The clothes in the store are already sold out, so the shopkeeper asked them to pay a deposit in advance to place an order. Now... I guess they have to work overtime. "

Luo Shixing turned his head and warned him: "The four-hour working system can't be changed? If you really can't work overtime, remember to pay three times the monthly overtime pay!"

Cheng Jingwei thought about it for a while. If the calculation is based on three times the daily salary... the salary will be paid out a lot!

Forget it, let these people wait for overtime, anyway, everyone's enthusiasm is temporary.

Luo Shixing suddenly asked: "By the way, was there a soldier who was injured before and had to be discharged?"

Cheng Jingwei nodded: "Yes, two of them injured their hands, and they have been given pensions and retirement benefits."

These two also suffered back injuries, and their injuries were not serious, at least they wouldn't die, but they couldn't continue to fight with weapons. According to the regulations, they could only be discharged early.

Luo Shixing said: "In the future, such soldiers who are discharged due to injuries should be given priority in the military factory."

Luo Shixing still remembered that when he was studying history, he knew that these disabled soldiers would not have a good time even if they took the money to go home.

Their families will take the money away but don't care about it. Although some families will take care of it, but one less labor force and one more mouth will make life difficult for families who are not wealthy. In the end, many veterans commit suicide in the end.

That's why Luo Shixing felt that if a person is alive, he doesn't need to be given so much money, but he must be given an iron rice bowl, so that he can at least support himself without being forced to death by his family because of losing his labor force.

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei was silent for a moment before responding: "Okay."

It's not like those two soldiers with mild disabilities can't do things, such as guarding the gate of a military factory, or doing odd jobs.

They can't even hold weapons, and naturally they can't farm land, so life is very difficult.

When the two of them were discussing this, Xue Zhong, who was selected by them as the director of the military factory, carefully wrote a document asking whether to expand.

Luo Shixing rejected this proposal at the time and said: "Everyone's buying enthusiasm is for this period of time. After a period of time, everything that needs to be bought is almost bought, and sales will drop sharply, and then remain at a corresponding level. You have time to want to expand. Why don’t you think about making more clothes of other styles, such as children’s clothes.”

At present, the styles sold in clothing stores are very single, one for men and one for men, and they are the most basic without any patterns, only pure white and black.

If you want to maintain your purchasing power, you need to unlock new colors and new styles. Xue Zhong was one of Wang Zhen's favorites at the beginning. His family started in the cloth and silk business.

Oh, this one is not exiled, he is more unlucky, he led a group of merchants to Lingnan, and then walked to a place where wild animals live because he was not familiar with the terrain, the caravan suffered heavy losses, and in the end only Xue Zhong ran with his two buddies out.

After running out, I have nothing but to temporarily settle down in the local area. It is basically impossible to make money and go home.

Then he was brought to the manor by Cheng Jingwei. Wang Sui had been eyeing him before because he wanted to let him run an official cloth shop in the future.

It's a pity that Xue Zhong's culture class was not up to standard, so he had to wait until he needed it. As a result, Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei did it before he did it.

Xue Zhong didn't really want to expand at first, but he felt that clothes are selling so hot now, what if the higher-ups want to expand?He submitted the letter first, and if the higher-ups disagreed, there would be no loss. If they agreed, they would feel that he was capable.

The businessman's slickness is vividly reflected.

Luo Shixing didn't care that he was naughty, as long as he did a good job.

So by the time the market opened, the ready-to-wear store had already added three women's clothing and several children's clothing.

After Luo Shixing found out, he deeply felt that Xue Chong had grasped the key points of the market, and women and children's money was always the best money to earn.

The Baimu people have been inquiring about the news for a long time, but they only heard a little sporadic things about the alliance.

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei didn't care, but the bosses teamed up with Ale to conceal the news of the alliance thoroughly. After the Baimu clan got a lot of specious news, after analyzing it for a long time, Li Chun said decisively: "The Ouluo clan must definitely Here comes the master."

He didn't know what was going on with the alliance, but he knew from the fact that the opponent conquered these small tribes and also stationed troops.

At the same time, Li Chun was also a little embarrassed, why didn't he think of this method?

The ability to control these small tribes by stationing local troops will become even higher!

A priest sitting next to him suddenly said: "There are indeed masters there, at least as far as I know, at the beginning Alzhen sent people to go around, and when they came back, they brought many people, including the former prime minister. .”

After hearing this, Li Chun's expression was distorted, envious.

He also wants the prime minister to be an offering, so why can Ale really bring people there?

He thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure there is a prime minister?"

The old priest nodded: "It is true."

Li Chun said decisively: "Is their market opening soon? Let's go too!"

However, while others used to buy and sell goods, he used to pry corners!

The life of their Baimu tribe is much better than that of the Ouluo tribe. People go to high places and water flows to low places. It's really two different things if he can take people away and keep them!
