"Dare you ask this strong man?" the man asked.

"This is our eldest brother, who is also the captain of the militia here and the sheriff. He is responsible for the security situation in this area. Damn it. Those gang of bandits don't even look at whose territory this is." A vulgar-looking man shouted loudly.

shouted.

"Haha. I'm sorry, this is my brother, Fan Kuai, I'm Liu Ji." Liu Ji said at this time.

"So much nagging," the man said.

"I'm here to investigate this horse bandit case. Guanzhong has already named me. A special FBI has been set up to investigate this case thoroughly." The man continued.

"Oh. So, very good. Very good." Liu Ji nodded.

"When you come here, the agents will eat and drink well. Come, let's drink." Liu Ji then picked up a bowl of wine and motioned for the other party to continue. The agents also had a bowl of wine and began to drink freely.

Regarding the investigation of this matter, the local magistrates in various states are aware of it, but they do not seem to be too accepting of it. However, since Guanzhong is only responsible for these matters, there has been no further change in the local security situation, although there are two powers.

There are some overlaps, but there is no intention of anyone being in charge of whom. This also makes the sheriffs in various places not much wary of the FBI agents. In their view, they just have their own official business.

It's just a matter, they don't interfere with the rest.

Qin State, Xianyang.

"This is Qin's locomotive production factory. Qin's main train locomotives are assembled here and come out of the workshop." Shang Wen and Meng Yi accompanied Li Mu to visit Qin's locomotive production factory.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

"How many locomotives like this can be produced here in a month?" Li Mu asked.

“Twelve units can be rolled off the assembly line in a month,” said the director of the motorcycle factory on the side.

"Twelve stations?" Li Mu asked after hearing this.

"Yes. Twelve. This number is not too much. The main reason is that the current demand in Qin is not very big and there are not many places to lay rails. Naturally, there are fewer locomotives. We cannot produce many at once." The factory director introduced.

.

"Oh." Li Mu nodded.

"So, how many units can be offline at most in a month?" Li Mu asked.

"Well, at most it's around twenty-seven or eighty-eight," the factory director said with a nod.

Li Mu nodded. For such an answer, Li Mu was surprised. The current production scale of Qin is less than half of its peak. Such a scale is already quite astonishing.

"These locomotives require a lot of parts. From strokes, gears, air pressure, seals, bearings, etc. These need to be produced by other factories and shipped to us, and then further processed and assembled." The factory director continued.

Naofumi just nodded.

"This is a complex production process. If you look at the entire process, it will take a lot of time. This is just a microcosm of Qin's standardized production process. As long as Prime Minister Li sees these, it is enough." Shang Wen introduced at the side.

road.

"Well, I dare to ask the Prime Minister, is this the same?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes. That's it. Although I know a lot myself, if it comes to specific production, I still can't figure out some things. This is called specialization in the industry. The difficulty of management lies in understanding, not being too detailed, and then

Organize manpower, arrange and plan these things." Naofumi said.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

"Take this motorcycle as an example. It requires thousands of parts to be assembled together to show its power," Naofumi said.

"But if you separate each one separately, it means nothing. Screws are screws, gears are gears, and some things are even useless. But these things need to be processed by various factories and finally assembled into a locomotive.

This is the production process." Naofumi introduced.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

"I still don't understand this. Can you explain it from a military perspective?" Li Mu asked.

"Well, let's take military production for example." Naofumi continued.

"An ordinary musket." Naofumi gave an example.

"Qin's musket production is separate. For example, the gun barrel is produced from the steel smelting factory. They make the barrel through a series of processes. It is then transported to the military factory. The military factory has many workshops. These workshops then

Process it, cut it, peel it, or do other processing, etc.," Naofumi said.

"It's just, transporting it back and forth like this." Li Mu said with some confusion.

"Is it bad if one factory produces all the products? Why, they should be separated." Li Mu then asked.

"It's naturally good to concentrate. But there are some reasons why it's impossible to concentrate." Naofumi said.

"It's better if the Prime Minister comes to this place, I'm afraid he will understand." Shang Wen said.

"Come with me." Naofumi said.

A random group of people came to the bank of Qin State.

"Can you tell us the loan requirements?" Shangwen asked a manager at the reception.

"Okay, Prime Minister. If you need a loan, you need to have collateral. Based on different collaterals, and then based on the value of the collateral, we will make a certain value estimate. We are making a home loan. This process usually takes a month.

We need to investigate and make an estimate in about a while," the manager introduced.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

"This is the first time I have encountered such a thing." Li Mu nodded.

"Prime Minister, maybe you should understand." Naofumi said.

"The reason why some companies cannot be centralized or dispersed is because of funds. They can obtain funds through mortgages, but research fees, patent fees, and other expenses will make the cost suddenly very high.

In order to take it back, they can only produce one product individually and exclusively

, and some large companies cannot care about this aspect, mainly due to some production costs and technical problems that are difficult to solve, thus forming such a situation. However, once some large companies are formed, they will also form other

A financing channel. This channel is securities." Shangwen introduced.

"Please come with me." Naofumi continued.

Shangwen then walked out of the bank's business hall and came to Qin's securities trading hall. The street near the city wall has developed into the financial center of Qin. This street is full of important financial institutions of Qin. Therefore, it is very difficult to walk back and forth.

of convenience.

The trading floor was very lively, with many people trading continuously, and a lot of pieces of paper flying above the hall. Abandoned transactions were flying everywhere, and there were also many people staring at the jumping numbers on the big digital board.

Some people were silent and didn't say a word, while many others shouted. These people didn't care at all about Naofumi's arrival. What they cared about was the numbers, the beating numbers.

"It's too noisy here." Li Mu said loudly to Shang Wen.

"Haha." Naofumi smiled slightly.

"What are they doing?" Li Mu asked.

"Securities trading. What is traded is the company's stocks. These stocks are money." Shangwen answered loudly.

"What?" Li Mu asked loudly. He couldn't hear clearly because the sound was too confusing.

"Bai's Electric, fifteen gold. Can be traded." A plate next to him shouted loudly with a blushing face.

Then a trader made a gesture and nodded to start trading.

Seeing this situation, Li Mu knew that this was not a place for transactions, so he said loudly to Shang Wen.

"Let's come out and talk." Li Mu said loudly.

"Come out." Shang Wen probably didn't hear what Li Mu said clearly, so Li Mu pulled Shang Wen out of the trading floor.

"Huh." After coming out, Li Mu finally breathed out.

"It's such a mess here. I don't understand why the Prime Minister brought me here." Li Mu said in confusion.

"Because this is one of the richest places in Qin." Shangwen said.

"Has the Prime Minister seen the pieces of paper flying all over the sky?" Naofumi asked.

"If the orders that were closed at three o'clock today are counted, there will be a turnover of at least 800,000 to 1 million gold in a day." Naofumi said with a smile.

"Ah." Li Mu was frightened when he heard this.

"This, this is for one day?" Li Mu asked in disbelief.

"Yes. One day." Naofumi said.

"If the business is booming, it would be easy to reach 20 million gold here." Meng Yi replied with a smile.

"Oh my God." Li Mu couldn't believe it when he heard such words.

"And the tax generated here is more than 40,000 gold a day. This is just the stamp tax collected by the State of Qin." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Oh." Li Mu was very surprised.

"Those companies can get the funds they want through securities transactions. Then these funds can be invested in production again. And many people will come here to buy and sell stocks. In addition, here is the securities of Qin State, and next to it, there is Qin State

Commodity Futures Exchange, the trading there is even crazier. I think we’d better not go there." Naofumi said with a smile.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

"It's just that Li Mu still doesn't understand these things. Please sir, please clarify." Li Mu asked.

"This is the development of capital. Everything is capital, everything is currency, and everything is caused by money. When it is beneficial to everyone, everything must be done. Under the differentiation of capital, society has further divided labor.

This division of labor is like this. The closer you are to the center of capital, the faster the money will come in. And

The whole development is rapid. Qin State currently has many divisions of labor, such as agriculture, industry and commerce, finance, etc. These are all part of Qin State, but most of them have been differentiated. However, Zhao State has not yet been completely differentiated.

I suggest that the Prime Minister should read more books so that he can understand these things naturally." Naofumi said with a smile.
