While various companies were working hard for rubber tires, the redemption agreement for prisoners of war was finally signed.
According to this agreement, Fatel will redeem one thousand people immediately, and two thousand people every year thereafter, for a total of five years to complete the redemption of all captives.
"Fater made the worst choice." Wang Qi shook his head as he looked at the agreement sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Li Xiang asked.
"It's indeed a good thing from the perspective of the enemy and ourselves, but as it is now, we can't count on them to deal with the demons."
It is not appropriate to redeem prisoners in batches at any time and anywhere. Even if you are short of money, you can choose to wait for redemption every three years. Such redemption in batches will cause a very obvious sense of fragmentation at the military level, and how will the soldiers be able to use their lives.
In this way, as an enemy country, Wang Qi knew that Fatel's army was vulnerable. No matter how well it was trained and armed, if the military's morale was not working, its combat effectiveness would first be reduced by two. If the individual combat effectiveness did not exceed ten, the reduction of two would equal a reduction in overall combat effectiveness of one hundred. Year.
Therefore, for the defense of Fatal, only its high-end combat power can be considered.
Everything has two sides. Fatel's inability to manage the army also means that the possibility of the two sides forming a temporary military alliance against the demons is further reduced. This kind of army that actively creates gaps in the ranks of soldiers does not dare to think carefully about its internal style. I am afraid that my army will be led astray.
As for the reason for wanting an alliance, it's not the old problem, population.
With the development of industry, the division of labor has become thinner, and the population has become increasingly insufficient. The annual income of more than 50,000 adults is not enough to be divided among all walks of life, and a large number of foreign workers have to be introduced.
Foreign workers often choose to naturalize after working for a period of time and have a certain language foundation. However, this is only a small difference in labor costs. It only means that the business owners earn less. It has nothing to do with Wang Qi. It will take many years for their descendants to be useful. .

After the incident in Pettus City, the eastern gate of the Moist Forest was opened, and more lords faced the threat of the demons. Even if they stopped fighting each other, the population loss would accelerate. However, there will be a delay of at least more than a year for these populations to be reflected in the kingdom's production, including adapting to the environment and literacy.
Population determines the scale of the military, and the limitations of the military scale affect the overall combat effectiveness. Therefore, they want allies with combat effectiveness, even temporary allies with their own hidden agendas.
Fatel's choice was disappointing, and now the only hope is the Kingdom of Ongi.
The basic land and population conditions, as well as the economic and military capabilities of the Ongji Kingdom are not as good as those of Fatel. The advantage is that due to the geographical environment, trade on the road is relatively blocked, there are more herdsmen in the territory, and the folk customs are more pure.
But there is still a long way to go before these advantages can be transformed into combat effectiveness. In particular, the Wengji Kingdom's local dominance is relatively poor, making Wang Qi not sure where to start.
"Ah! The chef said he bought some beef from Wengji."
Wang Qi: "???"
"They have a little bitch!"
"Isn't this strange? There is no restriction on the sale of live Xiaoqiang." Wang Qi was interested in Xiaoqiang himself, "Why did the chef buy Weng Ji's Xiaoqiang? Could it be that the taste in our country is worse?"
"I don't know, I'll ask."
"Don't ask, just ask the chef to prepare two pieces of roasted Xiaoqiang for us to try tonight."
"Roasted? What Weng Ji sells is dried meat."
"Then just stew and cook less." Wang Qi was a little afraid of Xiaoqiang, who was really in the shadow of Elena's hometown.
After moving to a dark place, Xiaoqiang had a professional place to raise them, and the moldy smell improved a lot, but Wang Qi still rarely touched them.
However, Li Xiang suddenly mentioned Xiaoqiang, which reminded Wang Qi of one thing, the insect nest.
Wang Qi did an anatomical comparison of Xiaoqiang and the reptiles in the insect nest in Elena's hometown, and judged that they should be a family, but he never confirmed this with Solaris.
If there is really a connection, is it possible to cultivate several insect nests to block the road?
...Forget it, it’s better not to.
The evolution of insects requires the ghosts created by Solaris as food, which means they need to continuously release host nuclei. She did not do those weird things in the exile. In theory, extracting the sap from the Royal Court Tree can have the same effect. , but the price feels a bit high.
The most important task of Wangtingshu and other outposts now is to ensure basic calories and trace elements, which is also the magic weapon for the kingdom to attract foreign populations. If cultivating Xiaoqiang interrupts the population growth rate, it will really outweigh the gains and losses.
No matter how much Xiaoqiang evolves, he is still an uncontrolled worm nest and cannot make strategic or tactical maneuvers.
In the evening, I ate some beef from the grassland.
It can only be said that it is indeed different. Perhaps the herdsmen's breeding habits make the ventilation better. Not only does the grassland Xiaoqiang have no peculiar smell, but the fat also brings a very special and alien frankincense, which has a very bland taste.
No wonder some people import this stuff. If the price is not much different from that of mutton, it does have value for export to domestic sales.
…
The next day I went back to work and started having migraines again.
At the end of the new year, all settlement and summary work is in progress. Today, Wang Qi saw a disappointing figure - the total amount of sugar water sales.
One-third of the domestic enterprises are government-run or operated under official guidance. They are also the main lending channel of Phoenix Coin, which flows to the market and banks for redistribution in the form of wages.
On the other side of the lending channel is Wangting Procurement.
A large amount of food and cloth are purchased here, and the food is mainly crops and dried meat.
It is divided into two parts: the city warehouse and the royal court warehouse.
Neither warehouse has low-temperature storage. Wang Qi just uses the transpiration of the Wangting tree itself to ensure that the temperature of the warehouse is between 14 and 18 degrees, which is close to the temperature of the underground water source.
At this storage temperature, it is difficult to store dried meat for more than one year, so you need to keep buying it, and deliver the expired parts to local refugee agencies, schools, and administrative canteens twice a year.
The crops are slightly better, the reserves are larger, there is a renewal cycle every two years, and the destination is the same.
Obsidian Bank only does angel investment rounds for the time being, and few companies are as large as chemical plants, so its lending intensity is not worth mentioning compared to the previous ones.
These constitute all lending channels.
The repayment part is more ruthless. Since the industry has just started, and there is precise promotion from the king to the entire administrative system, outsiders can’t even copy it, and the previous production methods are already outdated. This results in the profit margins of various government-owned enterprises being quite high. .
In the iron and steel industry, the situation has improved after some shares were distributed, which is actually equivalent to three times the wages of workers. In addition, a small amount of profits from external raw materials are deducted, and the expenses for updating equipment and maintaining the factory are deducted. It also supports a large number of experimental work such as process research and development, and can basically maintain a balance of payments.
The situation in heavy industry is a bit more complicated.
Half of its production capacity is left-handed and right-handed, which means that the accounts are kept within the administrative system and there is no actual currency issuance and revenue, but the profit margin of the other part is a bit high.
Heavy industry is the real core system of industry. People in heavy industry will focus most of their energy on process improvement, including processing accuracy, process type, etc. It is the only organizational form that can produce high-quality production equipment, and its products are naturally It is extremely competitive. Not to mention that there are no similar factories outside. Even if there are a lot of them, Xincheng Heavy Industries can still sell its equipment at excessive profits by relying on higher processing accuracy.
The official guidance for heavy industry is to make small profits but quick turnover, and maintain a profit range of 10% to 30% for external equipment, but this is only the pricing of standard equipment. Designing production equipment according to the needs of enterprises is a mental and technical task, which is very time-consuming. With limited production capacity, companies waiting to buy non-standard equipment have to queue up, and they will take the initiative to increase prices.
In addition, the material value of the equipment itself is very high, and the profit becomes a bit huge when added together.
For example, among the sales of heavy industry to non-official and non-military enterprises this year, one order came from Fenggu Incandescent Lamp Factory.
The incandescent lamp factory used scattered equipment and conducted semi-manual and semi-mechanical production for nearly two years. After accumulating enough production experience and funds, it placed an order for fully automatic production with Heavy Industry.
The full automation of incandescent lamps is relatively simple, including glass melting, dropping, shaping, wick making, conductor shaping, wire winding, assembly, gas filling, sealing, etc. There are only less than twenty mechanical processing points in total, but the entire process is complete. Automatic mass production requires sorting workpieces in each link, which requires the use of sorting equipment such as vibrating disks.
Adding the total weight of 150 tons, cast iron, steel, etc., based on input materials and processing costs, the cost is about 2.2 yuan per kilogram, and the 30% gross profit quote is 430,000.
But in order to make money as early as possible, the lamp factory paid 50,000 yuan to the company in front of it to jump in line. It also spent an additional 70,000 yuan to speed up the process.
Heavy Industry will not refuse this money, because at least half will be used to pay bonuses.
But if Wang Qi calculates carefully from here, he will make a net profit of 100,000 from this order!
The two major manufacturers are relatively restrained and make a profit, but only a small amount, and the others can only be regarded as unfilial sons.
However, even if he is an unfilial son, his ability to collect money compared to the sugar water is not enough.
