If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"
<...Standardization is the most fundamental aspect of management, and the ancient Chinese were certainly aware of this concept.
Since Zhao Huan has spoken, let's state all the key points to avoid Chen Gui taking a wrong turn.
Actually, assembly line production wasn't invented until the 20th century by Fokker Motors.
Assembly line production has greatly improved factory production efficiency, changed the form of human enterprises, and is a milestone development.
The Song Dynasty lacked automation, but its management model could be directly adopted.
Not only was Chen Gui stunned, but Tang Ke, who was standing to the side, also fell into thought.
"First, make me one hundred muskets. No matter how much manpower and resources it takes, I need to have the muskets by mid-July. Han Shizhong's army must have one hundred musketeers by mid-July and begin training!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Huan was wealthy and powerful; he no longer worried about the national treasury's finances, as he had plenty of money.
He plundered almost all the big landowners and merchants in the south who were within his reach.
Moreover, in the second year of the Jingkang era, Prince Kang's maritime revenue doubled compared to the first year of the Jingkang era, and the issuance of paper money also went very smoothly.
The recapture of Jiaozhi led to an increase in grain production in the Song Dynasty, prompting banks to print 5 million strings of cash in one go.
Tang Ke had already raised the money and was planning to invest it in mulberry planting and silk production.
With the financial crisis easing slightly and money available, the natural next step is to expand the military.
Han Shizhong's army has been reorganized and now numbers over 50,000, and its equipment has also been modernized.
What does Zhao Huan need next?
It's a warhorse!
Only by eliminating the Tanguts can horses be produced on a large scale!
Therefore, Zhao Huan will inevitably lead a personal expedition to the northwest within two years.
He believes that in the next two years, with the economic and cultural shackles within the Song Dynasty being lifted, the Song Dynasty's national strength will experience another phase of improvement.
