Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 176 Industrial Pillars

Liu Wu frowned at everyone's reaction. Knowing that their time was too short now, there was no time to verify this technology, so he interrupted others who wanted to question.

"Don't get entangled in this matter, and don't follow the rules of the old man, let alone the so-called mature and prudent words. For this kind of thing, we must dare to try and make mistakes."

“We must not get stuck in a rut and think that this uncertain technology will not work.”

"Don't forget what we do!"

"Since the two of them have discovered this technology, even if it is uncertain, we must support them in verifying it."

Having said this, Liu Wu glanced at the two of them and said: "I have approved to give you a military camp in Territory No. [-] to verify this technology. The output of this camp can be compared with other military camps to see. What is this technology like and can it increase production?”

"If this technology is real, it will be a good thing for countless living people. If it doesn't work, then try other methods and continue to study the technology."

With Liu Wu's decisive decision, such a dispute was temporarily suppressed by him.

At the same time, Liu Wu once again refreshed everyone's thoughts.

In fact, sometimes it's not that the mind is not firm, but that there are many temptations, or there are too many chores and worries, and Liu Wu needs to be reminded from time to time to prevent them from going astray.

At the same time, when Liu Wu reminds others, it is also a process of self-alertness and thinking.

Similarly, in this case, if he goes astray, others will remind him.

This is a mutually reinforcing process. Many colleagues remind each other and can always move forward.

So after Liu Wu made his decision, he continued:

"Let's start delegating personnel from now on. After all, chores such as land preparation still need to be done in advance. As for the problem of decentralizing personnel and insufficient manpower, everyone needs to overcome it and find more suitable alternatives."

"After all, we can't go there again and again and expect to gather a lot of manpower to complete our plans."

"Although we will provide food, it is essentially the same as corvee labor, not any worse."

"And if everyone gets used to this kind of thing, it will encourage unhealthy trends and laziness, which is wrong."

Speaking of which, Liu Wu's mind suddenly moved and he said:

"So, I have decided on one thing for the time being, and that is to allow many people to start families and start businesses here as soon as possible. Nowadays, there are more men than women in our territory, and the population structure is extremely imbalanced, which can easily cause many unnecessary things."

"Therefore, we need to pay attention to finding wives for many bachelors."

"Not only that, before finding a wife, whether they are bachelors in rescue camps or refugee camps, it is best to implement military management and implement a military reclamation plan."

"However, this needs to set a tone, that is, these military reclamation personnel must be disbanded within three years. In other words, do everything possible to find wives for them within three years."

Wow.....

As soon as Liu Wu said this, everyone was in an uproar.

Good guy, this is a long-term plan!

But before they could ask any questions, Liu Wu patted the table and said:

"The specific regulations will be worked out in detail after the spring plowing meeting. Now we will continue to solve the spring plowing issues. Now, does anyone have any questions?"

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately stood up.

This person is none other than Huang Biehe, also known as Minglou, a student in charge of making military weapons and agricultural equipment.

Just listen to Huang Biehe ask: "The Great Sacrifice Wine, now after three months of land reclamation, the agricultural equipment is seriously worn out, and we don't have much iron left to repair it."

Hearing this, Liu Wu looked at Shi Deshou.

Of course he knew everything about what Huang Biehe said, but now that there was insufficient money and food, he was barely able to meet everyone's needs, so he needed Shi Deshou's advice.

"Deshou, how are you doing with money and food now? Can you purchase a lot of supplies?"

When Shi Deshou heard this, he knew exactly what Liu Wu was talking about.

So he stood up and said: "The caravan is now barely able to maintain a balance of income and expenditure. It is unable to develop, let alone purchase supplies. Even the families of many soldiers do not have the strength to bring them back."

Hearing this, everyone was frowning. They didn't care too much or didn't participate in such business matters, but they also knew the importance of money.

Otherwise, Liu Wu wouldn't have been hiding from them all the time. This was all caused by lack of money.

As for raising money, they are all poor now and are collaborating with big gangs, which is not easy to do.

Moreover, their plans are still big and they need money and food support everywhere. Even if they use military control methods to maximize the supplies as much as possible, what is consumed is still consumed and cannot be replenished at all.

But Shi Deshou likes to breathe heavily, otherwise he wouldn't be able to scare Liu Wu all the time.

So after he raised this issue, a big turning point came.

"But, our money and food problem is about to be solved."

"Three months ago, we deployed many craftsmen to make salt from the sea."

"Now we have opened a salt field. Although it is not big, the total number of salt fields is only 11 acres. After this period of tedious experiments, we are now able to produce salt."

"It's just that this salt is not too clean, but in front of you it is white in color and has large particles. It can be regarded as coarse salt, and it barely meets the edible standards."

"That is to say, Dajijiu is not too satisfied with it and thinks that this kind of salt is very harmful, so it is still improving."

"However, after this period of improvement, the quality of these salts is getting better and better, and it is almost reaching the level of green salt."

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, this was a big deal, even Lu Shu was the same. He only knew that Shi Deshou was involved in making salt, but he didn't expect that he would improve the quality of salt so much.

So Lu Shu immediately asked: "Did De Shou bring some prepared salt?"

Shi Deshou nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes!"

After that, he took out a small bag and said, "Here is the salt that has just been developed in the past few days. You can take a look."

After saying that, the salt was handed into Lu Shu's hand.

Lu Shu took the salt and looked at it carefully, then tasted it gently, with a solemn look on his face and asked:

“How much of this salt is produced today?”

Shi Deshou replied: "According to calculations during this period, its output is enough to reach 73 stones of salt per day."

Everyone was shocked. This 73 shi of salt per day was equivalent to 1460 shi of grain!

If this salt is transported to the mainland for sale, one pound of salt can buy one stone of grain.

But now, just this small salt field can produce at least 50 shi of grain a year, which is too scary.

Even though they knew that salt was a hugely profitable industry, they never expected it to be such a huge profit!

For a moment, everyone was jealous. This small salt farm was the industrial pillar of their Han army!
