In the afternoon, Li Xian began to arrange a series of things.
The first and most important thing is to officially announce to Anyang that I, Li Xian, am back.
Secondly, resuming production and continuing to recruit refugees were all matters that were left to Yan Ze'an.
Third, recruiting soldiers. This is something that goes without saying. Leave it to Beichen Yuqing.
Fourth, Fang Shijing will be solely responsible for the affairs of the Brilliant Star Group and resume production as soon as possible.
Fifth, scientific research cannot stop, and more scientific research projects must be accelerated. The Great Xia Kingdom has entered the countdown, and chaos has also entered the countdown!
Sixth, look for oil. To be more precise, try to look for it in Anyang and the surrounding areas. Of course, this world calls oil "underground turbid gas".
If you want to develop industry, you must have energy; but spirit stones are too expensive and too scarce. Even if they can be used to charge energy, the output is too low and the cost is too high.
Seventh, issue a recruitment order. In the past, Li Xian had not adjusted his mindset; now, Li Xian adjusted his mindset and personally issued a recruitment order. Those with both moral integrity and talent are given priority, and those with excellent talent are second. Those with moral integrity but no talent... No one is told, in fact, they are not used!
In other words, Li Xian first and clearly put forward the slogan of "appointing people based on their talents".
Needless to say, Li Xian's recruitment order aroused collective opposition from Anyang's current top leaders, including Xu Ren, Yan Ze'an, Beichen Yuqing, Fang Shijing, Yan Zhengqing, and Ling Zhifeng.
Of course we should employ people who are both virtuous and talented, but we should not employ people who are talented but not virtuous! Everyone opposed it very fiercely and decisively, and Li Xian was a little stunned. Are you guys really that excited
In the end, seeing that the reaction was too intense, Li Xian had to temporarily put aside the seventh item and prepare to discuss it later; what Anyang needs now is not more talents, but stability and development.
Then comes the matter of business, which is the foundation of Anyang's development.
The business affairs have gone through a circle, and now they all fall into Fang Shijing's hands. Li Xian personally told him a lot of things, such as agents, after-sales, dumping, etc., to continue; in addition, he is preparing to increase the arms business! This will be the big part of Anyang in the future!
At the beginning of industrial development, the textile industry was the most profitable; after the industry developed, arms were the most profitable!
The first batch of items allowed for sale included: a large number of cold weapons such as weapons and armor, crossbow beds and crossbow carts, locomotives, and artillery below 105 mm - for the time being, Anyang only had three calibers: 47 mm (aircraft secondary gun), 57 mm (armored vehicle), and 105 mm (aircraft main gun).
In addition, guns are not for sale! Don't underestimate guns, they are very technical. Guns are easy to hide and can easily backfire.
Most importantly, artillery shells are made of gunpowder, while gun bullets are made of explosives! Explosives need to be kept secret.
Oh, there are also the most primitive war weapons captured from the State of Cai. Li Xian is also planning to sell these as these antiques are no longer useful.
The ironclad ships will only be sold to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea for the time being in exchange for spirit stones. The rest will be ignored.
After sorting out all the things and making sure there was nothing missing, Li Xian asked Fang Shijing to exchange 300,000 taels of gold, silver, copper coins, etc., and sent a flying vehicle to the imperial mausoleum. This time, the wealth seized from defeating Zhongshan County was countless, and it can be said that half of Zhongshan County's wealth was packed up.
