Chapter 242: Huge procurement plan

In less than two hours, more than 40,000 prisoners of war were killed. There are corpses all over the highway. The shape of death is strange. These are all masterpieces of artillery, and the wide variety of shells makes the death result become strange.

The casualties of the Qin army were about 1,000, mainly concentrated on the 5,000 prisoners of war, and Tu Sui's gun regiment killed two people. One person was seriously injured and countless minor injuries. The main casualties were the stubborn prisoners of war who rose up to resist at the last breath. Caused a kind of casualties that died together. As for the entire Musketeer regiment, most of the soldiers burned out 120 rounds of bullets.

Shang Wen originally opposed such equipment bullets. Because, according to the situation in Europe at that time, sixty rounds of ammunition were equipped as standard. However, the soldiers of the Qin Army have always eaten more, and Tu Sui also meant the same. As a result, every soldier of the Qin Army was equipped with two to three bullet belts without exception, a full 120 rounds of bullets.

The cavalry troops who intercepted and killed everywhere also returned with loads of heads on their horses. The two commanders began to sit down and discuss the handling of prisoners of war. There are not many prisoners left. Except for the dead, severely injured, those who have been shot and disabled, only a small part of them can move. This number is 30,000. The number is still huge.

The two armies can no longer control, especially Tu Sui's musket regiment. Ammunition is scarce. Before dark, each Qin Army soldier only had 30 rounds of ammunition, which was the last ammunition of the Qin Army. The situation is very tricky. In desperation, the two chose the easiest way. That is to dispose of these prisoners of war in batches. Pit kill.

The tragedy happened that night. One hundred thousand people disappeared out of thin air. Qin Jun thought this was a punishment for them. The **** night did not end until dawn.

When the tragedy happened, Qin State vigorously launched a huge war material procurement plan.

The funds raised from the sale of treasury bonds far exceeded Shang Wen's imagination. The raised funds amounted to more than 730,000 gold. To this end, Shangwen also specially adjusted the denomination of printed bonds. Large-denomination bonds in units of gold, printed in five colors, appeared. These bonds are sold to wealthy businessmen from six countries. At the same time, it also began to produce small-denomination bonds with two-color printing. Shang Wen didn't know why there was a small denomination.

Shangwen immediately started investigating and learned that these large denominations were mainly purchased by businessmen from six countries. Their purpose is also very clear, that is, land. The main directions of Qin's land expansion this time were north and west. They think that foreign land is an opportunity to make a fortune, so they buy in large quantities.

And the appearance of small denominations. It is a sign of great progress. Many people in Qin bought bonds out of patriots. Land is also their actual demand. However, due to the long distance, it is impossible to move from home to home, and Qin State began to set up large-scale factories to recruit workers, and they naturally entered the factory.

The exchange has been unable to start. First of all, the Qin State Factory, especially the arsenal, needs a lot of bronze, iron and other metals. After these coins are recovered, they have begun to turn into guns. At the same time, the age limit is added, and the age limit set by Shangwen is two years. Two years have not arrived. The exchange is not justified. As a result, this kind of marketable bond becomes currency and circulates. People's credit for Qin is still very high.

But soon a problem came out. That is the denomination of the bonds. The denominations of the bonds are very large, and the minimum is one and a half. One and a half two is a big number. Therefore, people also need a smaller currency unit to meet the circulation needs.

Shangwen only released it in response to this situation. Dividing this smallest unit of bonds is mainly to satisfy people's purchases. In a sense, these bonds have begun to replace the original currency. Become paper money circulating in the economy.

Shang Wen really didn't expect it. This move can turn into banknotes circulation so quickly. Shangwen also thought about issuing banknotes to recover a large amount of bonds after the war. But now it seems. Bonds have realized the function of paper money ahead of time. It has to be said that this is a new innovation. It is a manifestation of the progress of the times.

Due to the bonds, a large number of factories have started. The people have begun to have a strong desire to buy. But the abundance of commodities is still relatively low. It's ok. There is also a war to stimulate.

Shangwen's first job now is to draw up a huge procurement plan. This plan includes. One million muskets. A thousand artillery pieces. The number of artillery may increase. Because, judging from the current situation of use. Especially in the students' study, Wang Ben taught cannon doctrine, and emphasized the importance of artillery, based on this. Shang Wen added five hundred floating artillery in the back to prevent unexpected needs.

At the same time, there are a lot of bedclothes, especially winter clothes. This requires the purchase of a large amount of goose feathers, duck feathers, and other winter clothing fillers. There is leather. Shang Wen really didn't expect it. In ancient times, down jackets have appeared. Shang Wen also wanted to invent. However, this is obviously unnecessary.

Then there are a lot of food and medicine. Already horse vehicles. These figures must be drawn up. Then, conduct bidding production. If you want to equip it, it will take a month. At the same time, recruits must be trained. Shang Wen didn't know how to fight this battle this month.

Li Si's plant construction speed is the slowest one. Others have been rebuilt from their original houses. But Li Si slowly, looking for someone to choose a room. The selection of personnel is extremely slow.

Li You, Li Si's eldest son. Seeing his father behave like this. Very anxious. In the past few days, Li You patrolled the market every day. Get different news. He inquired. Wang Jian’s factory has begun to take shape and was able to produce muskets yesterday. Even Zhao Gao, who was next to Wang Shang, was allowed to build a textile factory. This textile factory uses animal power as its power source and can produce blended fabrics on a large scale. All this was provided by Da Qin's right-hand side.

And his own father. But because of political disagreements, they refused to contact.

Li You that is anxious. I think my father is a bit pedantic in this action. Some are stubborn, no matter how they persuade, they just don't agree to speed up the construction of the factory.

Li You helpless. I had to do it alone without telling my father. However, technical issues require special advice from Shangwen. So Li asked for advice from above. Helpless Shang Wen is too busy. These few days have been busy without orders. However, Shangwen specifically explained. For technical issues, everything is transferred at a very low cost of technology patents. Meng Yi also handled it quickly.

Thus, the Li's Armory was formally established.
