Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Shen Hao squinted, enjoying the moment, and began to review his rewards in his mind.

Last night, Shen Hao won over Leng Qingqiu, and he hasn't even seen the system's reward yet.

With so many rewards, Shen Hao became immune to them.

Shen Hao even turned off the system notification sounds because he found them annoying.

After sitting down, I remembered there was another reward.

129. This reward isn't good enough.

Congratulations, host, on successfully taking Leng Qingqiu as a concubine! You have made a great contribution to the continuation of your family line!

Rewards: 100,000 silver dollars, mastery of traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, one Chang Naichao (1/10) character fragment bronze treasure chest

Leng Qingqiu is blessed with good fortune, resulting in a tenfold critical hit and rewards.

[Rewards: 1 million silver dollars, a master calligrapher, a master painter, the summoned character Chang Naichao (from the Bright Sword universe), and ten bronze treasure chests]

After seeing the rewards, Shen Hao was somewhat surprised; what were the rewards?

Master calligraphers and master painters? What use are these things to us?

Chang Naichao? I am Chang Naichao, who is not good at running.

Li Yunlong captured the commander of the enemy's 7th Provisional Division during the Liberation War.

He was a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy and a high-achieving student who studied in Germany.

He possessed a wealth of military theoretical knowledge, but it was precisely because he applied this knowledge too rigidly that he suffered at the hands of Li Yunlong's unconventional approach.

This guy is absolutely qualified to be a military academy instructor.

However, 1 million silver dollars is not bad either. Yuan Fuzhen also received 1 million, and Yuan Shikai gave another 1.3 million, which together amounted to 3.3 million silver dollars.

You can equip yourself fully now.

However, I was somewhat disappointed that the system did not reward the military factory.

The investment in a military factory is an astronomical figure.

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about the military factories that Zhang Zuolin built in Northeast China.

The Northeast Military Industry covers an area of ​​over 3200 mu (approximately 280 hectares), with an investment of over 300 million silver dollars. The average annual investment is over 24 million silver dollars. It has nearly 10,000 sets of machinery and equipment, more than 1000 employees, and over 25,000 workers.

In addition to firearms, the Northeast military industry can also produce mortars, aircraft parts, bomb hoists, bomb mounts, and bomb droppers.

The products include machine gun engines, aviation instruments, aviation camera parts, aviation radio parts, as well as various other products such as grain, food, clothing, shoes, hats, tents, cooking pots, stoves, and iron barrels.

With this equipment, it can be said that they could crush all warlords.

Unfortunately, the veteran general refused to yield an inch of ground, while the young general refused to fire a single shot!

Shen Hao also plans to establish his own military factory, but he will start with assembly, which means importing parts from abroad and assembling them in China.

Once we're familiar with it, we can upgrade our independent research and development.

At that time, no country had imposed embargoes on its equipment.

We'll sell you whatever you want to buy.

In their view, the country is a treasure trove from which money can be made continuously.

Of course, to build a military factory, you first need steel mills and power plants, and these things cannot function without coal.

Fortunately, by the late Qing Dynasty, China was already able to produce and sell its own coal.

Most of them are (bdbd) good, coal costs four or five taels of silver per ton, which is about five silver dollars per ton.

That year, one tael of silver could only be exchanged for one silver dollar.

Coke is more expensive, at eight yuan per ton.

2.5 tons of pulverized coal.

The Hanyang Arsenal had an investment of nearly two million silver dollars and employed more than 1,200 workers.

'30 cigarettes per day, made in Hanyang'

The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau invested 540 million silver dollars in factory buildings and equipment, employed nearly 2800 workers of various kinds, and produced 300 to 600 pieces per month.

Roughly speaking, the ratio of workers to investment is about 1:2000. That is, if you want to build a factory with 100 workers, you need to invest 20 yuan.

Then the production capacity can produce three or four guns per day.

Upon careful calculation, Shen Hao realized that he was indeed quite poor.

If Shen Hao wants to build a military factory, he definitely needs to secure a province and completely control it. Otherwise, if someone else tries to reap the benefits right after he finishes building it, Shen Hao will be furious.

He was enjoying massage services from the women.

Shen Hao started a ten-pull gacha.

But Shen Hao hesitated again: should he draw ten bronze treasure chests or combine them into one silver treasure chest?

After thinking it over, Shen Hao decided to get ten bronze treasure chests instead.

What if I combine them into a silver treasure chest and find nothing inside? Wouldn't that be infuriating?

"Give me a deluxe ten-pull!"

The scene was familiar: a flash of golden light, and ten bronze chests opened one after another.

[Ding dong! Thank you for your patronage. Keep up the good work!]

[Ding dong! Thank you for your patronage. Keep up the good work!]

[Ding dong! Thank you for your patronage. Keep up the good work!]

The first three "thank you for your patronage" messages left Shen Hao speechless.

When the fourth person came out, Shen Hao felt much better.

[Ding-dong! Congratulations, host, you have won a radio station!]

[Ding dong! Congratulations, host, you have won 100 large goldfish!]

[Ding-dong! Congratulations, host, you've won a soap factory!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn a Senzu Bean (from the Dragon Ball world)]

[Ding dong! Congratulations, host, you have won one M3 6x30 telescope (with a mil-dot distance measuring device in the right eyepiece)]

[Ding dong! Congratulations, host, you have won a chestnut-colored Akhal-Teke horse!]

[Ding dong! Congratulations, host, you have won a box of melon grenades!]

After finishing his ten-pull, Shen Hao was somewhat disappointed.

The items I drew this time were far from satisfactory.

It's obvious that the chances of getting two "thank you for your patronage" messages last time and three this time are decreasing.

In other words, the next lottery draw could very well include four "thank you for your patronage" entries.

All the good stuff is gone.

The only good one is the Senzu Bean.

100 goldfish don't cost much; each goldfish costs around 550 yuan, so 100 of them would only cost 55,000 yuan.

However, something is better than nothing.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off combining them into a silver treasure chest.

Hu Xueli's mind was entirely on Shen Hao. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, she asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Shen Hao hadn't expected Hu Xueli to be so sensitive. He laughed and said, "It's nothing on my mind. It's just that you've been taking such good care of me that it feels like I'm dreaming."

“The master always teases us,” Bao Shuang laughed.

However, Shen Hao's words seemed to reassure the women, and they massaged them even more vigorously.

"Haha, I'm not lying, I really mean it."

“Master, it is our honor to serve you,” Tao Yingying said earnestly.

Sincerity is indeed a sure-fire weapon.

Looking into Tao Yingying's almond-shaped eyes, which sparkled with sincerity, Shen Hao pinched her cheek and said, "Good girl!"

"The master is biased, what about us?" Hu Xueli complained.

Clearly, Shen Hao was still not satisfied with only pinching Tao Yingying.

Shen Hao laughed and pinched each of their cheeks.

He then said, "Later this afternoon, can someone do me a favor?"
