Chapter 115 Building the Foundation of the Chemical Industry
After June, it was already the beginning of July, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, sitting on the chair under the big tree in the yard, Jiang Wei was half-lying on the chair enjoying the fan next to the maid holding a fan to fan him.
At the same time, an extremely beautiful woman washed the grapes in a basin of cold water, and then gently peeled off the grape skin with her slender fingers and fed Jiang Wei to eat.
Jiang Wei was eating grapes, and his lips accidentally touched the fingers of the beautiful woman, only to see that her face was red, don't turn her face.
At present, two months have passed since the Dugu family's extermination case, and the voices of the people are basically no longer heard, and the case has been stuck in a dead end. Jiang Wei also had a rare relaxation and experienced the corrupt life of what is called feudal society.
It's just that the extremely beautiful woman in front of him, since listening to her life experience, has made him feel a little complicated. This woman is Dugu Qianyi, if you want to let her go, I don't feel at ease. If you want to say that you want to kill your mouth, there is no reason at all. And this woman has been behaving very well since she became his personal maid, and he also deliberately asked Liu Qingru to spy on her for a while, and she didn't do anything bad.
can even be said to be very intimate to him, and he is very thoughtful in all aspects, plus Dugu Qianyi is really beautiful, when she thinks of extinguishing her mouth, she feels a little violent.
In the afternoon, after experiencing the corrupt life, Li Wenan agreed to come to Jiang's mansion.
"Childe."
Li Wen has been running around recently, and his main task is to recruit orphans, which makes him look a lot darker and lose a lot of weight.
Jiang Wei felt a little moved, Li Wen has been running outside for himself, working hard. But apart from a few of them, Jiang Wei didn't feel at ease to hand over the matter to others.
"It's been hard for a while, let's rest for two days first."
Li Wen grinned,
"Whatever Childe says, helping Childe do things means helping me do things for myself and helping the village. This is not a bitter thing, but working in the field is much more bitter than this. ”
Jiang Wei shook his head with a wry smile, and for a while he didn't know that he had nothing to refute him.
"In that case, I don't dare say anything. You can do it yourself, you can enjoy it when you have time, you look at Li De, you know how to enjoy, now you are getting along with a woman from a big family in Chang'an City, listen to him, you may be getting married recently. ”
Li Wen listened and gritted his teeth, in terms of age, he was two years older than Li De, and he was already twenty years old this year.
"Let's get down to business,"
Jiang Wei put down the teacup and waved his hand, Dugu Qianyi and a few maids saw it, nodded and retreated. When he walked away, Jiang Wei asked,
"What's wrong with the orphans being recruited now?"
"Childe, there aren't many orphans recruited now."
Li Wen sorted out his words, and then said them one by one.
"Mainly for the sake of concealment, we gave up many chances. At present, only 238 orphans have been enrolled, and if these are not taken into account, it is estimated that 7 or 800 orphans can be recruited. ”
Jiang Wei nodded, there are quite a few of them. In this flood, because of the influx of refugees into Chang'an, there was an opportunity to recruit so many orphans.
"You've done a great job, be careful. It's better not to, and not let others find out. ”
After speaking, Jiang Wei thought about it for a while, and continued,
"This time, don't take in orphans first, just help me manage the affairs of the valley, but don't stop the drills of these orphans, you have to keep up with the meat, don't worry about money, and ideological work, let Li Tong do it well."
With the income of coke and glass, Jiang Wei's family now has an income of nearly 1,000 yuan every day, and he has saved more than 30,000 yuan. The supply of more than 200 orphans is not a big problem.
After explaining Li Wen, Jiang Wei called Li Wu and Li Qing over again. After seeing Li Wu, Jiang Wei took him into the study, and waited for the maid to walk away before he spoke,
"Leave the matter of distributing porridge to Li Erwa, there is one thing I need you to help me do."
Seeing that he was so cautious, Li Wu also had some doubts in his heart, and he didn't understand what made him so cautious.
"Childe, what's the matter?"
"I need you to go to Minzhou."
Minzhou, which is later Fujian, is very close to Liuqiu. After recruiting people in Fujian, they can be sent directly to Fujian.
"After you go there, you start to recruit workers, mainly to recruit people and send them to Liuqiu, but you don't directly use the sign of recruiting people to Liuqiu, you find an excuse first. Recruit 500 people for the time being, and when the recruitment is full, remember not to go directly, I will arrange someone to send you there at that time. ”
Li Wu understood what Jiang Wei meant, but he was just looking for excuses, he thought about it for a while, and he couldn't think of any excuses. I can't help but smile bitterly,
"Childe, I'm stupid, I can't think of any good excuses. Just tell me and I'll do what you tell me. ”
Jiang Wei glanced at Li Wu helplessly, this person doesn't like to use his brain, but his execution is still very good.
"In this way, you can say that the land is cultivated, and the salary is 500 per person."
Li Wu thought about it,
"Childe, isn't 500 a bit too high?"
"Then 400."
Li Wu nodded at this time, but he still felt that it was a little high.
Before Li Wu left, Li Qing followed closely.
For Li Qing, Jiang Wei is still very relieved, after all, he is a veteran, and there is no need to talk about execution. The task he gave Li Qing was also the heaviest.
The main thing is to carry out surveys of convective areas and eliminate hazards. If there are still people in Liuqiu, and the other party is less than a thousand people, they will be recovered by force and used as slaves. If there are more than 2,000 people, let's slow down for the time being.
At present, the fire system has also made 10 pieces, with more than 50 iron warheads and 10 phosgene iron warheads.
This time, he decided to ask Li Qing to bring all the fifty-two young people who had been trained about the same, including ten fire commanders, as well as ten phosgene iron warheads and ten TNT iron warheads.
As for the sword, it is not easy to bring it over. I can only let them watch it when the time comes.
As a veteran, Li Qing is familiar with these things, so much so that he doesn't feel anything. And now the fifty-two teenagers have been trained for more than a month, although they are not very proficient, but they also have some accurate skills.
It's just that Jiang Wei feels that the progress of this fire system is too slow. If this continues, how many can be built in a year? Thirty or forty are estimated to be the sky.
This has to be fully equipped, so it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?
Jiang Wei thought about it and felt that it was time to get the steam engine out. But first of all, we have to occupy Liuqiu, and then when the time comes, we can build factories on top of it, build machine tools, and steam engines. The foundation of the chemical industry is truly built.
But at present, there are still some difficulties in making a practical steam engine. The main thing is the craftsmen, and they can't reach the level of the Ministry of Industry.
In the end, out of helplessness, Jiang Wei could only hand over part of it to his uncle and let the Ministry of Industry do it.
