Qin Feng looked at the various income and expenses and was very shocked. This expenditure was too huge. The repair of the airport had cost nearly a million dollars, and the daily food for the soldiers had cost almost 10,000 dollars. If this continued, they would sooner or later be empty.
"We have to earn money. How do we earn money?”
In the office, the regiment commanders were all confused. They were good at fighting wars, but earning money was nothing to them.
"Commander, us boors are paid by the army. Aren't you mocking us by asking us to earn money?”，He Yong said helplessly.
Qin Feng took a deep breath. Out of his regiment commanders, there was nothing to say about their loyalty in battle. However, Yuan Fei was the only one who was cultured enough. However, loyalty was sometimes compared to culture. Qin Feng would rather choose a loyal ordinary person than a cultured person full of ambition.
Seeing that his subordinates had no way to earn money, Qin Feng revealed his plan.
"Everyone, I'm sure everyone knows that the war is actually about the economy. The chairman doesn't care about us anymore.”
"First of all, we need to build a large scale factory. The factory will be built in the two mountains on Jasper Cliff Island. At the same time, we will also build the arsenal! It mainly produced bullets, shells, bombs, and torpedoes! The civilian factories produced some necessities to ensure that the 2.5 million people on the island had enough food and clothing!”
The group leaders looked at each other, feeling a little awkward."Commander, even among the people of Songhu, the most developed economy can only provide food and clothing for 70% of them. Some even starve to death every day. Our Jade Cliff Island is no exception.”
When Qin Feng heard this number, he was very shocked. He did not expect that there would be people starving to death in this era. However, thinking about it, it made sense. After all, to reach the level of food and clothing, it would only be achieved after New China.
Qin Feng was helpless. Jasper Cliff Island was considered big and had a lot of land. The key was that the climate was suitable. It was not a problem for the rice to ripen three times a year. How could there be people starving to death? At the very least, they could still fish by the sea and pick up the sea. There were also many wild fruits and coconuts. There would not be a situation of starvation at all.
"Everyone, the ocean resources of Jasper Cliff Island are so rich. Even if there is not enough food, there are enough fish in the sea.”
"Commander, you don't know that most people are not used to eating fish. Otherwise, why don't they go into the river to fish when famine occurs? Because there was no seasoning, the fishy smell of fish was too strong. No one liked to eat it!”，Yuan Fei explained.
Qin Feng suddenly understood why people didn't go into the river to fish during the famine. It was because there was no seasoning and the fishy smell was too strong.
"We can produce condiments for the Spicy Boiled Fish and build factories. We can build the necessary factories for food, clothing, and housing first. By then, we can make small profits and have high turnover.”
"Commander is right. If we can build factories and monopolize the business in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, we will set the price lower. While benefiting the people, we will also earn money!”，Yuan Fei explained.
Qin Feng was very excited. He said indifferently,"Then let's start with the civilian factories. The cement factory and soap factory are the easiest to set up. We'll build these two factories first.”
"Commander, Xu Wei is our logistics director. He's more suitable to manage the opening of the factory!”
"If the commander is willing to give this lowly one the task, this lowly one is willing to do it!" Xu Wei, the logistics director, stood up.”
Qin Feng thought for a moment. Xu Wei was in charge of logistics. To manage the matters of setting up a factory could be considered to be making the best use of people!
"Alright, Xu Wei, you can start building the cement factory, soap factory, tobacco factory, and salt factory now!”
Xu Wei nodded and took the plan that Qin Feng handed to him. He looked at the detailed location of the factory and the money used for the plan.
"Go to the financial director of the office, Shi Chen, and receive five million yuan. These are the funds for the factory. If you dare to take it, don't blame me for killing without blinking!”
Xu Wei looked at Qin Feng's eyes and shivered."This humble servant is right under your nose. How would I dare to be greedy?”
Qin Feng waved his hand. Regiment commanders, we've already cleared the bandits on the island. Tell us what you've learned from the battle!”
Duan Qiang thought for a moment and said,"Commander, there are two main points in a battle: Man, weapon! People were not afraid of death. With good weapons and equipment, coupled with proper tactics, they could be invincible!”
"Commander, I think that the artillery should bombard first, followed by the infantry and tanks. The effect is very good. Just like our defense of Haikou, we wiped out 15,000 bandits in four hours!”
"You are all right. I think that we have yet to unleash our full strength in this battle. Most importantly, the soldiers are not paid enough. Some company commanders and battalion commanders have privately deducted their salaries. We have already distributed the salaries according to the standards of the central army.”
Looking at Qin Feng, whose veins were bulging on his face, the regiment commanders lowered their heads. In their eyes, it was already common for them to deduct the army's pay. In the past, there were still people who ate empty pay.
He Yong slowly stood up and said softly,"Commander, I heard that the company commander and the battalion commander only deducted one yuan from each soldier. This kind of thing is common. There's no need to be so serious!”
