Chapter 579: Coercion and Temptation

If all the Han people had read the books, what would have become of the Han people?

If it was in the Song Dynasty, Lou Ban and others might jump up happily, but this is the Han Dynasty, scholars are not synonymous with weakness and incompetence, and many scholars in the Han Dynasty are able to draw swords and kill people, ride horses and shoot arrows, and because they have read books, they are resourceful, and they are more ruthless than one in battle.

Speaking of which, from Wei Huo to Xiliang Sanming, which one doesn't read?

Thinking of this, the people in the building team couldn't help but shudder.

Such a big man is terrible!

"Let's go, let's have breakfast."

This time, Lou Ban and the others were fortunate enough to experience the feeling of queuing in the cafeteria.

Seeing that Ma Qiang also followed the flow of people to get the tableware by himself, and then stood at the back of the line to line up, although Lou Ban and the others didn't understand, they also followed the line.

Ma Qiang looked back and said with a smile: "We also have such canteens in the schools under construction in Qingzhou and Jizhou, and the children also line up with tableware to eat, which can save expenses, and secondly, it is also conducive to promoting their unity and increasing discipline." ”

Lou Ban and the others don't understand how to eat a meal is so exquisite, and what discipline can be strengthened by eating.

But soon, they realized that something was not quite right.

In the cafeteria, although some of the people in line were talking back and forth, no one rushed to cut the line, and the line was very neat, so neat that it was not like preparing to eat, but preparing for war.

Is this discipline?

This kind of discipline is rare even in their army, they are all leaders of large tribes, and naturally know that the combat power of the army is directly proportional to discipline, that is to say, the people of the Red Star Battalion, as long as they have a little training, are a strong army.

According to what Ma Qiang said, Qingzhou and even Jizhou and Youzhou in the future will establish a school to let children study in the school from an early age, so won't all Han people become like Red Star Camp in the future?

Wouldn't the army of the Han people be as large as they were, anyway, there are the most Han people in the world, who can beat them?

The reason why the workers were the main force in the later Red Movement was because the workers had to cooperate in their daily work, so they already had basic organizational strength and discipline, and they could easily be organized into an army, which was not comparable to the peasants who were accustomed to working alone and were free and loose.

Don't underestimate these seemingly simple queues, until the era of lobster soldiers, the main combat method of the army was to line up, and then kill the enemy with their own weapons according to the command, that is, they would line up, and this soldier would be half trained.

Due to the large number of windows, the queue is actually very fast, Lou Ban and the others looked at Ma Qiang in front of the queue and ordered breakfast, and then did not make a fool of himself.

The breakfast at the Red Star Camp is still good, soy milk, fritters, steamed buns, steamed buns, pancakes, tofu brains, anyway, the traditional breakfast of later generations can be seen here.

When Ma Qiang sat down, he found that the breakfast ordered by Lou Ban and others was exactly the same as his own, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Everyone drank a lot last night, and they were already hungry in their stomachs, eating steamed buns filled with vegetables and meat, and the eyes of Lou Ban and others suddenly lit up.

This is much better than the Hu cakes they eat on weekdays, eat them in two bites, nibble on fritters, drink a mouthful of soy milk, life ~~ perfect!

While eating, Lou Ban looked at the Red Star Camp around him, and couldn't help but shake his head, what he Wuhuan Xian King ate was not as good as an ordinary person in the Red Star Camp.

The more Lou Ban thought about it, the more he felt that the gap between Wuhuan and Dahan was too big, and this gap was a kind of gap that people desperate and yearn for.

There is quite a feeling of watching the lighthouse in China in the eighties and nineties.

After breakfast, Ma Qiang did not immediately prepare for the meeting, but took them to the textile factory first.

In fact, Wuhuan people know that wool can be woven, but how to make this cost come down, so that wool does not have the unique smell of mutton fat after spinning is the key.

How to smell the cleaning step, Ma Qiang didn't show them, but took them directly to the textile workshop.

In a huge workshop, textile machines are creaking and squeaking under the operation of workers.

"This is called a multi-spindle hand-spinning machine, with this, a person can spin multiple yarns at the same time, and now what you see is a five-spindle version, that is, five spindles can be spun at a time, so that the production efficiency is greatly improved, and the potential of this spinning wheel is still very large, and it is expected that there will soon be a spinning machine that spins eight, ten or even more yarns at the same time." Ma Qiang smiled at Lou Ban and the others: "Your wool turned out to be too much, and we couldn't digest it, but with this thing, soon your wool will be so small that we will spin it in a few days!" ”

Nanlou and others understand what the impact of such a spinning machine on the wool industry is, wool, as long as there are more sheep, the problem is how to digest these wool, now it seems that no matter how much wool the Zhenbei Army has digested, then sheep raising will not make a fortune!

"But the wool is transported around, it's too troublesome, I plan to set up factories in your departments in the future, and weave directly in the local area, are you interested in joining a share?"

The eyes of several people in the difficult building are red, where is this into a share, this is simply dividing the money!

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, as long as there is someone to do business, how much is wool, how much is cashmere, how many times is this profit!

Thinking about it, a few people in Nanlou felt that their breathing was about to stagnate.

Nanlou wanted to continue to ask Ma Qiang about the details of the textile factory, but when he saw Ma Qiang raise his leg and leave, Lin Hai, who was accompanying him, smiled and said, "Several, please, it's time for us to go to the next place." ”

The lure is over, and it's time to coerce.

Hearing that Ma Qiang was leaving, several people in Nanlou were anxious.

Where are you going? This gold mountain thing... Oh... I almost forgot that this was someone else's territory.

Ma Qiang took them to the next place to visit - Hongxingying Iron and Steel Factory.

Hongxing Iron and Steel Plant, although the scale is now under the Yuyang Iron and Steel Plant, but it still produces more than 100 tons of steel per month, don't think it is less, Nanyang is a smelting county in the Han Dynasty, and the daily output of the largest iron-making furnace is only about one ton, and the steel output of the entire Han Dynasty is only 20,000 tons a year.

And Ma Qiang's two major steel plants in Hongxing and Yuyang now have a monthly output of more than 500 tons of steel, and the larger-scale Jixian Iron and Steel Plant and Handan Iron and Steel Plant are already in the planning, and when these two steel plants are completed, the annual output of the four major steel plants will exceed 30,000 tons, that is to say, just looking at the steel output, the output of the three states controlled by Ma Qiang is about to exceed the rest of the entire Dahan.

Therefore, in Ma Qiang's eyes, the Red Star Steel Plant is already a bit small.

But it is small in the eyes of Ma Qiang, in the eyes of Lou Ban and others, this is a miracle!
