Chapter 4479 The opportunity to atone has arrived

Once there are appropriate profits, capital becomes bolder. If there is 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, it will become active; if there is 50% profit, it will take desperate risks; for 100% profit, it will dare to trample all human laws; there are With 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime and even risk being hanged.

This sentence comes from Das Kapital. Huge profits will make businessmen willing to take the risk of going to the gallows. If a business can make huge profits without going to the gallows, then I am afraid that few people will refuse this business. Cigarettes The huge profits that production can bring really startled Hei Wa. It reminded him of a certain small and micro enterprise in later generations. At that time, the tobacco company's annual profits were enough to cover the military expenditure of a big country.

Taking the financial statements for the first quarter, Heiwa read them three or four times. After making sure that the decimal point at the bottom of the number was correct, he raised his head and said to Gao Zhemin: "The planting plan in Shangnan County has been approved. In addition, let the tobacco factory send people. Go to other provinces to purchase high-quality tobacco leaves, focusing on Yunnan and Guizhou provinces..."

"We don't have enough machines and workers. The cigarette factory has been working in two shifts for two consecutive months. We can't produce anymore if we purchase raw materials..." Gao Zhemin complained. He also wanted to produce more and make more money.

Most of the new factories in Shangluo are jointly run by the government and businessmen. Only tobacco and chemicals are solely owned and operated by the government. The profits in this area belong to the government finance, the chemical industry has not yet achieved results, there are too many new factories, and the new policy is so intensive that it is very difficult to support it just by relying on its own fiscal taxes and the one million silver dollars allocated by the guards.

There are still two months left before the autumn taxes can be collected. Now tobacco can earn nearly half a million yuan in a quarter, and he wants to turn this golden lump into a golden mountain more than anyone else.

Hei Wa closed his eyes and sank into consciousness. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "The expansion is inevitable. I will figure out a way for the workers and equipment. You can arrange it first."

Gao Zhemin nodded and stood up to say goodbye, and Qin Weimin came in a moment later.

"The ICAC will send a working group to the tobacco factory to supervise it. The team will be replaced on March 1."

Money attracts people's hearts, so it is best to prevent or reduce the occurrence of certain bad things in the system from the beginning. After talking about the matter, Hei Wa rushed to the military camp outside the city without stopping. Today was the day when Zheng Manger suppressed the bandits and returned to the army.

Zhou Shouwa is Shangluo's biggest supporter. Heiwa's destruction of him does not mean that there will be no more bandits in Shangluo. During the vacuum period, many small hills took the opportunity to rise. In order to create a safe business environment and ensure the smooth flow of business routes and the peaceful living of the people. Bandits and bandits must be wiped out in the Shangluo area. Zheng Manger's security team happens to be all adapted from the bandits who originally surrendered. They use barbarians to control barbarians and use bandits to suppress bandits. Professional counterparts get twice the result with half the effort.

Zheng Mang'er is a lot darker, comparable to Hei Wa You. But the whole person's temperament is more sturdy and steady.

In the war room of the military camp, Hei Wa listened to the results of the bandit suppression.

"The whole territory has been basically cleared. I suggest stationing troops in some dangerous areas to prevent people from entering the mountains and setting up flags in the future." Zheng Manger handed over a map with circles marked with place names.

"Can."

Zheng Manger took a sip of herbal tea and continued: "Twenty-eight leaders were captured, and more than 300 of them, no casualties were recorded. The treasures seized, gold, silver, and grain are equivalent to about 10,000 silver dollars. How poor are the new bandits? The jingle.”

"That's my apology." Hei Wa smiled. The suppression of bandits began after the New Year. For almost five months, military expenditures exceeded this amount.

"No, the compensation is huge. Lao Niu looks at me now with a slumped face, as if I owe him. If I don't beg him again in the future, I really want to punch Gou Ri..."

The two looked at each other and laughed. Lao Niu, the logistics manager, was probably the most unpopular officer in the army. The two regiment commanders Wu Laoer and Wu Lao'er, as well as the battalion commanders below, had to be open about it every time they saw Hei Wa. A few words of insult to him secretly.

"It's not easy to be a rich man, and it's not easy for an old cow. Now our team of seven to eight thousand people relies on his calculations to make a living. Just now I saw that his hair has turned a lot white..."

After chatting for a while, Hei Wa pondered for a moment and said, "There is something I need to discuss with the boss in advance."

The tea cup in Zheng Manger's hand shook. Since entering Shangluo City last year, neither of them used their previous titles. She sat upright and said, "Second brother, you tell me."

"After the autumn harvest, the entire army will be reorganized and all soldiers above thirty-eight will be laid off. All officers at the platoon level and above will attend a crash course for officers for two months. Only those who pass the exam can assume their original positions..."

Hei Wa stared at him with burning eyes and said, "I need the support of the boss."

Zheng Manger looked down at the teacup without saying a word. According to the second brother's army reorganization method, other troops were fine, but his security group would not have a few soldiers left. Among all the teams, the security group had the most soldiers above thirty-eight, and those in fifty were There are quite a few.

Hei Wa also stared at the tea cup and sighed: "You also know that Shangluo is such a big land and cannot support an army of more than ten thousand people. The existing eight thousand soldiers are already very strenuous, but their combat effectiveness is not as good as our previous Hei Wa Artillery camp..."

"Second brother, stop talking. I support you in reorganizing the army. There is only one problem. What will happen to these soldiers after they are disbanded? If they are released to the countryside, I am worried that they will go up to the mountains and become bandits again..."

Hei Wa was shocked and said: "No, the expansion of the cigarette factory can accommodate most of them. The construction company has more labor shortages. There is no problem in placing these people."

Zheng Manger felt a little relieved and said, "How many cuts are you planning to make?"

"At least half."

"Four thousand? How can we defend Shangluo after you have laid off so many soldiers? I heard that Xi'an is not at peace and a war may start at any time. If Wu Xintian brings troops, can we resist it?"

Heiwa smiled and said, "The war in Xi'an has nothing to do with us. As for Wu Xintian, if he dares to come, I can deal with him again. Don't worry, the reduction of troops will not be completed immediately. We will reduce them in batches and replace them in batches, and strive to complete the replacement before the end of the year."

"Also, I plan to buy a batch of Yulin horses to form a cavalry battalion. Are you willing to be demoted to a battalion commander?"

"That's great. You know I love big horses and fast guns. If I do it, there's no point in the security team staying in the city..."

After sending Zheng Mang'er away, Heiwa sat at the table and continued his plan with a pen in his hand. Bai Ling came over to pour out the old tea, brewed a pot of new tea for him, sat next to him, and stared at him who was concentrating on the paper with her chin propped up.

"What are you looking at?" Heiwa asked without raising his head, with his five senses sensitive, writing without stopping.

"I was wondering why you want to build a special cavalry battalion. There are mountains and gullies everywhere in our place, and the role of cavalry is limited."

Heiwa didn't answer her, but took out a newspaper from the table and handed it to her, tapping one of the articles with his finger. Bai Ling read it three times while lying on the table, and suddenly looked up in surprise:

"You want to send troops..."

"Yes!"

Bai Ling didn't know what to say for a moment. When other warlords were still fighting for territory, this man's eyes had already passed the towering Qinling Mountains.

Hei Wa closed the notebook, looked at her and smiled: "Do you remember the words I wrote?"

Bai Ling blurted out: "The greatest heroes serve the country and the people!"
