Chapter 52 52 New Transactions
Just when Tang Mo felt good about himself and felt that his handsome smile could charm thousands of girls, there was no class today, and You Lin, a young girl who was helping in the factory, hurried over.
"Principal! Mr. Tiger is back!" The little girl felt a little unnatural and stood in front of Tang Mo and said in a voice that was only slightly louder than the machine next to her.
"Oh? Let him sort the things first and send them to the corresponding warehouse. I'll go to him after a while." Tang Mo gave the order casually without taking it seriously.
"You...you'd better come and take a look..." The little girl did not turn around and leave like before, but reminded Tang Modao with some hesitation.
Tang Mo looked at the little girl and felt that things were not that simple, so he stood up, patted the dust on his palms, and said to Roger: "I'll go take a look! I'll leave this to you."
When he walked out of the workshop, Weiss followed him. He stayed by Tang Mo's side, doing what a bodyguard should do responsibly.
The two people walked to the gate of the factory and saw Tiger leading soldiers to carry things down from the carriage.
What makes Tang Mo a little unbelievable is that there are too many Beiling civilians helping to move things, so many that it makes people's scalp numb.
He quickly walked up to Tiger who was arranging soldiers to get familiar with the place and led people to move things to the corresponding warehouse, and patted Tiger on the shoulder.
“Sir!” When he saw Tang Mo, Tiger’s face clearly showed a look of joy. He pointed proudly at the convoy that was unloading the goods, and showed off to Tang Mo: "I brought you everything you asked for!"
As he spoke, he introduced: "Look over there, those seven carts are all made of Beiling leather! Boar bristles! The Earl has collected a lot for you!"
Then he pointed to the other side, pointing to the lively crowd of beggars who were picking up luggage from the carriage, and said to Tang Mo: "Look! Look here! Those are all workers! In order to support your expansion of the workshop, The earl sold one of his workshops and sent all the workers there to you!"
"Have they all been delivered to me?" Tang Mo was so frightened that he immediately asked.
"That's not all! Our eldest lady, we have deliberately found a group of craftsmen for you. Some are blacksmiths and some are apprentices. In short, they are all very valuable people who can directly participate in production." Tiger said with no idea of his own pride.
He pointed further away: "Their family members have all followed. I told you the rules here, and many craftsmen are willing to come. Everyone wants to work here. I only know now that you build dormitories." What a brilliant strategy!”
"Family members, family members are here too?" Tang Mo looked at Tiger with a dumbfounded look, feeling that he was simply sent by God to play with him to death.
"Isn't it! There are more than 700 craftsmen here, including relatives and children, there are almost more than 1,600! With so many people, you can be directly promoted to a workshop!" Tiger felt Tang Mo's stunned expression. Must be so happy.
In fact, Tang Mo was worried that he had admitted so many people at once! He really has no food to feed so many people.
As a result, just when he was stunned and frowning, Tiger said something that made him collapse even more.
"Well, Lord Earl heard that you were running a school and supported you with two teachers... Moreover, he felt that your idea was right. Education is the top priority for development, so he decided to invest in your school." Tiger said , and took out a contract.
Spreading out the contract, Tiger continued to say to Tang Mo: "Your Majesty, the Count, is prepared to pay 300 gold coins, ahem... in five installments, to inject capital into your school, and to send... 300 students to your school."
"You're kidding." Tang Mo didn't plan to accept 2,000 people at once. He knew what the scale of 2,000 people was!
That’s close to the population of a village! Total population! The monthly cost of eating horse chews is almost enough for a person to go bankrupt.
What's more, he has no way to expand his income in a short period of time. Under such circumstances, it is obviously irrational to raise so many workers for nothing.
Things obviously did not develop in the direction that Tang Mo hoped for, because what he wanted most was elite workers and a large amount of supplies, as well as currency that he could use to buy things at will.
But the reality is that Tang Mo hopes to eat a watermelon, and the earl is planning to take a cart full of apples to make up for it...
"No kidding! More than two thousand people! I've been exhausted all the way! You don't know, if I had only led the convoy, I would have been back yesterday." Tiger twisted his neck and looked serious. Said like this.
"Two thousand people!?" Tang Mo's eyebrows were dancing. Although he could accommodate almost two thousand people here, he definitely couldn't support two thousand people. These are two thousand people! He is not a philanthropist, is he crazy? Two thousand people to feed! What's more, with his current production capacity, if he can really eat two thousand people, the entire Wright Kingdom's weapons will come to purchase his Tang's K1 fast gun, which can barely support his Tang Mo's factory.
Tang Mo has a way to increase the production capacity of his factory. He also has countless new weapons that can be put into production and become flagship products. He can ensure that these weapons are the most advanced in the world.
But what he can't guarantee is how many customers will show up at a certain time, and he can't guarantee whether the weapons he produces will be sold in time after his production capacity is increased.
Before contacting a definite buyer, he did not have the courage to expand production capacity to a point beyond his control.
His previous expansion was based on investing in the Earl. His prediction that the Earl could win the Battle of Northridge was different from now.
In fact, Tang Mo has already increased production capacity to a level that he is now quite satisfied with. If he pulls it any higher, he will be asking for death.
"How should I feed these more than 2,000 people?" Tang Mo looked at Tiger with some annoyance and asked, "Not to mention providing accommodation for these people, just finding food for them, do you know how much money it costs? "
He continued without waiting for Tiger to answer: "The problem is, Bunas may not be able to buy so much grain in one breath..."
"You don't have to worry about this!" Tiger said with a smile: "Beiling's food reserves are still very sufficient. Because the earl attaches great importance to agricultural production and does not levy high taxes on farmers, our food has always been supplied to farmers." External sales.”
"Recently, the King targeted the Earl and purchased a large amount of food from other kingdoms and the Cyric Consortium, deliberately lowering the price of food in North Ridge, resulting in a large backlog of food." Tiger recited what Alice told him. Said: "So, the eldest lady has sent you the food directly..."
While he was speaking, more people and carriages poured into the yard. The scene was so noisy that the group of children who came to watch the excitement were a little scared.
They have never seen so many people at once. Although Bunas is a port city and very lively, it is rare for so many people to appear in the suburbs.
Tang Mo was relieved that there was enough food - he saw dozens of carriages belonging to Beiling, which may have been reserved for transporting troops and supplies. As a result, these carriages were taken out in advance and delivered a large amount of supplies to Tang Mo.
When Tang Mo took over Tiger's supply list and saw the numbers on it, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the dusty Tiger: "What is the count doing? He put all the supplies in reserve, Have they all been delivered to me?”
"No!" Tiger lowered his voice. After Weiss took a few steps back knowingly, he said to Tang Mo: "We robbed the Cyric Consortium's steel convoy..."
“…” Tang Mo looked at Tiger, who had always been honest, and almost reached out to see if he could pull off a human skin mask from his face. He really didn't know that this loyal soldier could actually commit murder and swindle goods.
"We didn't kill the guards because they were all ours. We made arrangements in advance, so we were able to send so many carriages here without anyone noticing." Tiger knew what Tang Mo was thinking and explained with a wry smile. Said: "The eyeliners we arranged for this have been exposed, so we can only do it once..."
"One time is enough, how many times do you want to do it?" Tang Mo laughed and patted Tiger on the shoulder: "When these convoys go back, they can take away another 170 newly made K1 guns! Our production speed is very fast! But the raw materials are also consumed very quickly.”
He motioned Tiger to follow him to a quieter corner, looked at the crowded crowd in the yard, and said: "But you have sent enough steel, so it will definitely not be possible to deliver more K1 guns on time." questionable."
"The earl has given enough things, much more than what he should pay for the goods! Now, can we talk? Lord earl...what exactly do you want to take from us?" The smile on Tang Mo's face became even more intense. Sheng asked unabashedly.
Tiger was a little nervous, because this time he did bring a request to buy more things—Miss Alice’s request.
This even includes the core machinery that Tang Mo uses to produce new weapons, the power system as big as a house: the steam engine.
According to Tiger and Fischereau's ideas, the steam engine is definitely the thing Tang Mo is least willing to sell. This is Tang Mo's capital and the core technology for his development. Purchasing such technology is provoking Tang Mo no matter what...
So, after careful consideration, he looked at Tang Mo and spoke with some difficulty, asking in a tentative tone: "I, we, we want... a steam engine."
