Chapter Forty-Eight: Do You Think We're Playing Family?

In a short time, there were only 130 chasseur companies, and more than 20 were unwilling to train.

Scar said to the remaining more than 100 people: "Okay, the rest are willing to train and carry guns for adults, so the follow-up will be good, and after today's practice, there will be meat and wine!" ”

"Then invite the girls from the Yiqing Courtyard in the town!"

"Don't worry, you don't have to pay for it, adults are treated!"

When Scar talked about the treat, everyone laughed.

Because the 20 or so people who were unwilling to train looked weird, one of them even shouted: "Why don't you have our share!" ”

At this time, Scar looked back at those, and then said, "From now on, you are no longer our people, so naturally you don't have your share!" ”

Then he waved his hand: "Tie them all up!" ”

Suddenly, more than thirty heavily armed guards behind him quickly stepped forward!

When those people saw it, they immediately panicked, and some people muttered: "Scar, what do you want to do!" ”

"Don't come here!"

"Get out of the way, what do you want to do!"

"Let go of me!"

The soldiers of the guard are all from the patrol battalion, and they have no friendship with these old bandits, and the training they have received during this time is actually very simple, except for the basic tactical actions such as loading and shooting, the rest is all in formation, all kinds of obeying orders.

So they didn't care about these old bandits at all, and they stepped forward to tie up one person after another.

The old bandits shouted, but they didn't dare to resist, and the soldiers of the guards were all armed with muskets, and they were already loaded with bayonets, and if they dared to resist, they immediately came with a bayonet.

After tying everyone up, Scar came over: "You think we are playing at home, we can come and leave as much as we want, how can there be such a good thing in the world, since you don't want to work for adults, then I have to send you all to the construction team!" ”

What are you going to do with the construction team? Naturally, it's about building walls, digging ditches, and so on.

There were more than a dozen of Wang Jinqian's subordinates before, because they were unwilling to join Lin Ziran, and then they were thrown to the construction team.

And these people will join them.

After all, these people all know that Lin Ziran and their people are low, and letting them out and chew their tongues will bring trouble to Lin Ziran and them.

As for the killing of brains, the impact is not good, and now there is an urgent shortage of labor in the oil field, and it costs a lot to spend money to hire people, so it is better to simply use these people as coolies.

After sending these shouting bandits to the construction team as coolies, the rest of the chasseur company was much more honest.

Although the next parade training was still chaotic, at least no one deliberately made trouble.

Although it looks chaotic, it's just because I haven't been trained, I don't know how to line up at all, and even many people can't even tell the difference between left and right, and the soldiers in the previous patrol battalion are almost like this.

But after a period of training, the situation should improve a lot.

Scar's movements in the Chasseur Company, Lin Ziran was naturally clear, and even this was acquiesced or even hinted at by him.

Otherwise, Scar wouldn't have been able to do that.

The problem of the chaser company was initially solved, and Lin Ziran also directly incorporated this chaser company into the patrol battalion, so that counting the first company that had been trained, the second company and the third company that were still being trained, Lin Ziran had four infantry companies under his hands.

It's just that there seem to be a lot of people, but how much combat power there is, that's an unknown.

Anyway, except for the first company, which is relatively regular, the two musket companies and the chasseur company are all recruit units that can't even form a line.

The second and third companies did not even have muskets, so they could only hold a wooden stick for platoon training, taking turns to use a small number of muskets for loading exercises.

If this is dragged out to fight, it is estimated that it will collapse on its own halfway.

But even so, Lin Ziran was quite satisfied.

The hard work of the past few months has not been in vain, regardless of the combat effectiveness, but there are still six or seven hundred people under his hands.

The only trouble is the lack of money.

Although the production of kerosene has come up, and kerosene has been sold through the Qingshan Commercial Bank, the money from the sale of kerosene is often all spent before Lin Ziran even sees it.

This money needs to be used to buy equipment, refineries need to expand production, and oil fields also need to expand production, and the expansion of production requires equipment, and these equipment are not bargains, hundreds or thousands at every turn.

There are even some that are not available in the county seat or county town, and they can only be purchased in other places or even in the state town.

It's not enough to have equipment, you have to have someone to operate the equipment.

These are all technical personnel, Qingshan Town is a small place, and those who can be found have basically been found, but the gap is still very large.

In this regard, the only way to do this is to let Castle Peak Commercial Bank hire people elsewhere.

It is also very expensive to hire technicians, and if you want your family to go to the poor countryside Qingshan Town to work, not to mention the higher salary, you have to pay a settlement fee or something before you are willing to come to work.

The expansion of oil fields and refineries requires money, and the expansion of sales channels by Tsingshan Commercial Bank also requires a certain amount of money.

Kerosene has just begun to be sold in large quantities, and most of the money is used to purchase equipment and hire technicians.

In the end, Lin Ziran had no money to pay for the ordnance of Hongxiang Commercial Bank.

On December 10th, Lin Ziran saw Zhou Li again.

In fact, Lin Ziran didn't want to see him, this person went to Qingshan Town yesterday to ask to see him, but Lin Ziran excused himself not to see him, so he didn't see him.

But today Lin Ziran had to see him.

Because this goods have already been told to Luo Mazi, if the payment is not delivered, the people will have to pull back the ordnance that has been pulled to Qingshan Town.

The transaction between the two sides was originally to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, but in the past few days, Lin Ziran has been empty-handed, and he really can't make up the money of nearly 5,000 Hengyuan for this batch of goods.

It can only be delayed again and again!

However, although he said that he had no money in his pocket, Lin Ziran still saw him, and he couldn't let Zhou Lizhen pull the goods back.

As soon as Lin Ziran came out, Zhou Li hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord Lin, I can be regarded as seeing you!" ”

Zhou Li continued: "I said Lord Lin, we have made an appointment, this cash on delivery, one hand to pay and one hand to deliver, this goods have been delivered to Qingshan Town, but this money is ......."

Lin Ziran's face was flat, and he took a sip of tea and said: "Manager Zhou, you should also know, our town guard has just died recently, and this new town guard has not yet come, so something went wrong......

"Don't worry, this official is raising money these days, and there will be no shortage of you!"

Zhou Li said: "My lord, this caravan is outside, and the daily expenses are not small, and our small business firm can't afford to delay it for a few more days!" ”

When Lin Ziran heard this, he was also a little speechless!

Whoever asks you to transport an ordnance will build an armed caravan of more than 200 people......

More than 200 heavily armed guards, this cost can be low!

If Zhou Li knew Lin Ziran's thoughts, he would definitely have a look of contempt: If Lao Tzu hadn't come with more than two hundred armed guards, this batch of ordnance would have been swallowed by you a long time ago!

Not to mention, Lin Ziran really had this idea.

Just seeing their armed escort of more than 200 people dispelled this thought.

If you really do it, those half-baked recruits under your hands probably won't be able to do it!
