Chapter 336 Military Outsourcing (6)

Chen Fei did not say what happened later. In fact, this kind of industry directly managed and operated by the country must have many disadvantages. This is that being an official and being a businessman is different. If and if an official is an official, it is not suitable for technological innovation. If from the perspective of China's science and technology, although China actually claims to be ahead of the West, from the perspective of policies and systems, China is actually not suitable for technological development. First of all, if the government directly operates the industry, advanced technology is very difficult to develop. Because if the R&D fails, those officials are afraid of taking responsibility, so they will not have the motivation to develop new technologies, which will prevent technology from developing. However, merchants are different. In order to obtain profits, ordinary merchants must find ways to increase productivity, increase output, and increase product added value. This is the way to promote science.

So if the officials of the court have been letting these smelting workshops personally, the technology of steel smelting will probably progress very slowly and even cannot be improved at all. This is why the bureaucrats do not think about developing technology at all. They just think about when they can be promoted. It is better to count on merchants to promote technology than to rely on them!

"Dr. Chen Fei, what about those winter clothes? Have you started giving birth?" Li Jing asked.

Chen Fei then replied: "General Li, I am still preparing for this batch of winter clothes. I don't plan to produce it by our craftsmen themselves, I plan to outsource it and let private businessmen with capital produce it. In this way, ∮, ww▲w. It not only improves efficiency, but also allows the people to gain certain benefits. After all, if we produce it ourselves, the final result is that the longer we are, and we may not be able to complete the task."

"Okay, I don't care about that much. You have to make enough winter clothes, otherwise I will never end up with you!" Li Jing said.

Li Jing had already known that he would serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Turks in a year, so the first thing he was concerned about was the issue of winter clothing. If there were not enough winter clothing, the Tang army would not be able to fight in winter. So Li Jing had to worry about winter clothing first. Other weapons could be lined up behind, but winter clothing must be included. If there were no winter clothing, the soldiers could not withstand the power of heavy snow in winter and would have been frozen to death. Therefore, winter clothing must be prepared. If there were no winter clothing, this war would definitely not be launched.

When Chen Fei heard Li Jing's urging, he immediately took the initiative to release another news about winter clothing outsourcing. Chen Fei began to actively ask merchants to help design winter clothing, and once Chen Fei adopted it, he would be able to obtain production rights, and then the government purchased a large amount of money.

In fact, this is just a technical bidding, allowing those merchants to design some winter clothes and then hand them over to Chen Fei for review. Finally, Chen Fei purchased a lot of them. Chen Fei actually found that the winter clothes of the original army were very poor in warming, but they were actually some thick linens. These linens actually had very poor warming effects and were difficult to keep warm. Therefore, Chen Fei did not want soldiers to wear this old style of winter clothes to go to the battlefield at that time. So Chen Fei took the initiative to ask those merchants to design some winter clothes, and then choose the design styles of these winter clothes for himself, and then choose some suitable styles for purchasing.

"Have you heard that? This time the court is going to purchase winter clothes for the soldiers, a total of 300,000 pieces!" "Is that true? I heard that the court will distribute winter clothes to soldiers this year, which is the court's care for soldiers. This time the winter clothes will be purchased from us, the private ones, instead of being produced by military equipment. In this way, we can make a lot of money!" "Hmph, the court finally understood that their winter clothes were old and their production speed was slow. How could it be good? Now the soldiers' winter clothes are worse than those of ordinary people."...

If you want to say who knows the best of the industries run by the government, it is merchants. Of course they are very clear about the industries run by the government. So they don’t really like the quality of the textile workshops in the imperial court. However, they are now attracted by the imperial court’s purchase of winter clothes. Because this is 300,000 winter clothes, even if you can only eat tens of thousands of pieces. That is a huge benefit. The order of winter clothes of tens of thousands is enough to make the merchants eat a lot. Now there are 300,000 winter clothes. If you can get them, you will definitely be full of energy and may become a tycoon in the textile industry from now on.

Don’t overestimate the productivity of ancient times. In ancient times, it was already a super tycoon of the textile industry in ancient times. The market demand and productivity in ancient times were incomparable to later generations. Therefore, many people hope to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit, so that their business can get better and better. After all, such a large profit can give them the opportunity to re-expand and stimulate them to continue to develop.

In fact, what Chen Fei wanted was to stimulate the economy to a certain extent and make business development better through this method. If everything was produced by craftsmen within his own, it would not have the effect of stimulating the economy at all, and it would waste a lot of money. As a later generation, Chen Fei could not know why countries became poorer the more they fought in ancient times? In fact, the root cause was the impact of ancient economic thinking. In ancient times, it was due to the backward economic model compared to later generations, which made them poorer the greater the war.

But many people don’t know that war can still get richer and richer. This Northern Expedition to the Turks, although it consumed a lot of materials for war, if it was in the past, it could only consume without output. But now if Chen Fei outsourced to these merchants, these merchants would recruit employees to produce again, which could drive employment from clothes and then drive the demand for mulberry and hemp. Finally, the arms drive the demand for wood can drive employment for many people. Even merchants have to pay taxes. Merchants can take the opportunity to expand the scale, and after the scale is expanded, they will pay more taxes. Therefore, although the war costs a lot, these will flow back part of the tax, and then expand part of the tax after the war. Finally, the war occupied the population of the territory, and a part can be obtained by expanding the commercial market. Overall, this war is actually a feast of gluttons, but ancient people became poorer the more they fought. This situation really made Chen Fei speechless.
