Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Armed Forces

The thinking in Sino Continent is also roughly the same, but there are a few fantastic magic technologies.

"As Essien said, a highly skilled craftsman can make solid armor, sharp swords, and beautiful products." Aslan said with a smile.

This was his daily expression, but no one dared to interrupt Aslan in this state.

Because that would usher in the wrath of Aslan.

"From the point of view of future development, skilled craftsmen may promote the development of skills and increase productivity. For example, the Merlot army is now equipped with Merlot war crossbows! It is improved from the crossbow. You all say it is me. Improvement, but who am I? What background? You will not know, I understand the theoretical knowledge, but if you really bring the Merlot crossbow in front of me, I will not be able to improve it for a hundred years. This is a craftsman The importance of magic, magicians are not all-knowing and omnipotent, many things have to rely on the help of craftsmen to produce."

As a scholar, Wilson naturally understood what Aslan said, so it goes without saying that the future planning and development of Melo Town would require the assistance of artisans.

"In terms of economic benefits, how much do you think a craftsman with the skill of making knight armor can make for his lord a month?"

Aslan's words made Wilson and Essien's eyes widen.

If Aslan’s words in the previous paragraph were oppressing people with righteousness, then now he is oppressing people with naked Eli.

Not to mention the two of them, even the five big and three rough Gutgoode around them reacted.

"That's a big profit, how much is a set of armor worth! A dozen gold coins are considered to be less, and it is impossible to buy good knight armor without hundreds of gold coins."

Alfonso, the bandit leader, was more knowledgeable than the Goodgut brothers, and told what he knew.

"That's right, a set can sell so many gold coins, and it's not much to give an allowance of five gold coins to craftsmen a month."

In the conference room, Arthur, who was like a sculpture, rarely spoke once.

He really told the truth.

Wilson said with a constipated face: "I understand what the lord means. The so-called artisans are not only the bridgehead for future technological development, but also the most important source of economic products."

Facing Wilson's straightforward answer, Aslan's expression showed no abnormality.

"Essien, you can understand now that the more skilled people are cultivated, the more exquisite goods can be produced to buy, one after another, who earns more, and the wages of workers are borne by the factory, I The property under his name will be separated from the City Lord's Mansion, and completely separate from the City Lord's Mansion as a private property."

"The salaries of the workers are naturally the responsibility of the lord himself. This can increase the tax of the city lord's mansion every year, and solve the salary of a huge group of workers. What do you think?"

Arthur and other military representatives agreed to pass Aslan's proposal with both hands, and Essien was no exception.

In his eyes, the lord's property does not need to pay taxes, and the wages of the workers are also borne by the city lord's mansion. The lord is completely lying to make money. Now the lord is willing to pay taxes and pay wages for the workers, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

After all, this is a common problem of most lords in Sino Continent. Private property is tied to the territory. Once there is any accident in the industry, it will also lead to the decline of the territory's economy.

Only Wilson felt strange, but he didn't know where the problem was.

Aslan's combination of punches will greatly increase the enthusiasm of the workers. I believe that the factory's income will gradually increase in the future.

For Sino Continent, which is still under the slave exploitation system, Aslan's capitalist exploitation system is simply too advanced.

The substantive purpose of Aslan is to appropriate the surplus value produced by workers' labor free of charge. The essence of wages paid by capitalists to workers is the value or price of labor.

Compared with real slaves, the workers hired by Aslan are still slaves, but they are all slaves of money. Therefore, in addition to developing armaments, Aslan also develops various entertainment and consumption industries, so as to drive workers Go to work to make money, as long as workers go to work to make money, it is tantamount to making money for Aslan.

Since the establishment of the factory, the work efficiency of hired workers is several times that of slaves, which shows the charm of money. This is why Aslan wants to increase the treatment and salary of workers.

The craftsmen of big countries are part of it, and the driving force of interests is the important factor.

Many workers are even grateful to Aslan because of the 'high' salary.

"After the battle with the Kaimen Bandit Group, the lord decided to reorganize the army." Aslan said in a startling way.

Essien and Wilson belonged to the civil service system, and they didn't know much about it, so they sat upright, wanting to hear what Aslan was going to say. As for the military representatives, they had already got the news, and they looked at Aslan nervously. orchid.

"From now on, the army will be divided into corps, regiments, brigades, squadrons, squads, and squads." Aslan took out the plan he had prepared in advance and began to read.

The reason for choosing this kind of organization is very simple, because it is similar to the existing military organization of the countries in Sino Continent. They are also mainly large, medium and small teams, and above them are the thousand-man team and the ten-thousand-man team.

Such an army organization is too chaotic for Aslan's comprehensive army, and it is not easy to command the troops. Aslan does not like the scene where the main general dies and the whole army is defeated.

Therefore, it is imperative to improve the establishment and complete the officer system. In case of that war, high-level officers were assassinated, and low-level officers could quickly take over the army and fight to the last drop of blood.

"Each infantry squad has ten people, four infantry squads form a small squadron, and four squadrons make up a squadron, and so on. We operate in small groups on weekdays, and in wartime, the highest officer will be in charge." Aslan passed the document on to everyone. look.

"Squad leader's salary is 15 silver coins at the 23rd level, small captain's 21st level salary is 25 silver coins, squadron leader's 19th level salary is 35 silver coins, team leader's 17th level salary is 45 silver coins, each team has There is one vice-captain, and the salary of the vice-captain is one level lower than that of the captain." Aslan's voice continued.

Wilson's scalp tingled when he heard that, he was not feeling well.

"My lord, in this way, the number of officers will be too many. This will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary expenses for the army."

As soon as Wilson finished speaking, Gut immediately jumped up.

As the chief of the recruit unit, many soldiers are trained by him now, and he is the most staunch supporter of the military representatives. This kind of matter related to the vital interests of the army is not only for Gut, but also for Arthur and Gawain. this attitude.
