No matter where he goes, Lao Tzu is like a firefly in a dark environment, so bright and outstanding.

Chen Zijian sat on the "BMW", these days in the past few days, the people who carried materials in Dianbai County have come back one after another, and Zhangjia Village has become lively, think about it, more than 100,000 people are concentrated in a small place, can it not be lively.

With the example of the people of Maoming County, the more than 40,000 people who were arrested in Dianbai County quickly settled down without danger to their lives, and with three full meals a day, people's hearts quickly settled down. Among the tens of thousands of people arrested, except for more than 3,000 children under the age of ten who cannot work, everyone else is capable of working, and now those people are gathered together, and there is no work for the time being. Chen Zijian is very relieved about this, not to mention tens of thousands of people, and another 100,000 is not enough for him to use.

For example, at present, Zhangdian Highway has been planned, from Zhangjia Village to Dianbai County, and road construction in this era is a manpower-consuming project, not afraid of many people.

There is also the matter of the railway, it is too troublesome to transport iron from Shayuan Town by manpower, Chen Zijian plans to build a horsepower railway, the steam train does not need to think about it for the time being, but the horsepower railway is a good choice, with the horsepower railway, the iron can be sent here more quickly.

These projects require a lot of human resources, so don't look at the fact that there are many people now, but it is not enough for Chen Zijian to squander, but the most important thing now is to solve the problem of oil, with oil, can make canned fish. So as to solve the food problem in Zhangjia Village.

Riding a horse and soon arrived at the barracks, Chen Zijian threw the horse rope to the volunteers on duty. "Call Li Hu Niusheng over."

Nonsense, the chief is here, can't you let the chief go to see them.

Li Hu Niusheng, Zhang Yu, and Zhang Lin came over and saluted Chen Zijian, this is the rule in the barracks, and the subordinates salute the superiors, which is much better than seeing the Shangguan kneel when the Ming Dynasty sees the Shangguan.

Li Hu: "Chief, what are your orders?" ”

Chen Zijian: "Let's go, take you to see the new military camp, there will be no need here in the future." ”

The current barracks, there are more than 5,000 volunteers, it seems very crowded, Chen Zijian wanted to move away early in the morning, but at least there is no suitable place, now that the barracks have been built, of course we have to go over and see.

The new barracks could accommodate one army of volunteers, and the number of one army was eighteen thousand seven hundred and fifty.

The management of the volunteers was very chaotic before, for example, due to the lack of accommodation for the volunteers, the volunteers recruited from Zhangjia Village could go home to live at night, as a professional soldier, this is not good, before due to the poor conditions, Chen Zijian didn't care, but with the expansion of the scale of the volunteers, it is necessary to establish new regulations, the so-called no rules are not a circle.

Chen Zijian wants to build the volunteers into professional soldiers, the previous free-range method can not adapt to the new changes, soon, Chen Zijian wants to set up a volunteer army of more than 10,000 people, and new positions will be established, such as Li Xi Li Hu and them, the volunteers called them differently before, platoon commanders, captains and so on. This chaotic pattern needs to change, and the completion of the construction of new military camps is an opportunity.

The new barracks is located five miles away from Zhangjia Village, the cement road has been paved, and the barracks have been built, but there are no volunteers stationed in the barracks, and only a small number of policemen are on duty at the gate, which is particularly deserted.

Seeing Chen Zijian bring someone over on horseback, the first person was the chief, and the policeman on duty came to open the door for him and invited him in.

The barracks covers an area of about four square meters, surrounded by wooden fences, with Chen Zijian's manpower and financial resources, the barracks are enclosed with bricks, and the walls are built three or four meters high, not without this ability, but Chen Zijian did not do this, but the simplest wooden fence was simply enclosed in a circle, why did he do this.

Chen Zijian's idea is that if the volunteers really need to use the wall as the last line of defense, such a volunteer army has actually been abolished, and whether there is a wall or not has little impact is actually not great, and the role of the volunteers is that they will always be a sharp knife-like existence, and they will only continue to fight foreign wars, and will not do defensive battles.

I found a barracks casually, pushed open the door and went in, and Li Hu and a few others followed, and they were also the first time to the new barracks.

Li Hu saw the bed and asked strangely, "Chief, what is this and what is it for?" ”

Chen Zijian: "Don't you see this? I usually tell you to read more books but don't listen. "I just like this kind of high-IQ crushing, and when I meet my subordinates and ask why, Chen Zijian likes to reprimand the other party for not learning and not knowing, and completely ignores the fact that Li Hu has not read a book.

"This is a bunk bed, which can allow two brothers to rest, and a room can arrange thirty brothers."

Zhang Lin was a little surprised, this kind of house is too clean, I don't know what things are used, the walls are white, it looks comfortable, and the room is spacious enough, more than enough for thirty people, he sighed that the chief is too good to his brother, living in such a house, even if it rains heavily outside, he is not afraid inside! In the past, only well-off families were qualified to build such houses.

Zhang Lin asked curiously, "Chief, how many houses have you built!" ”

Outside, he saw rows of houses in a row, and Zhang Lin and the others just entered one of them, and he was curious about how many such residences the chief had repaired.

Chen Zijian: "There aren't many, just a thousand!" ”

Li Hu and the others couldn't help but smack their tongues when they heard it, it's only a thousand, how much financial resources does this have!

Chen Zijian planned that the number of people stationed in the barracks was one army, that is, more than 18,000 people, and 1,000 such barracks could easily accommodate 30,000 people.

Chen Zijian has read the report, the final cost of such a barracks is fifteen taels of silver, the reason why it is so cheap is because of bricks and cement, with these two magic weapons, the cost of building such a barracks is not high at all.

Otherwise, why did Chen Zijian consume a lot of manpower to find a brick factory and a cement factory, and he didn't do anything that was not beneficial, and now the cost of a brick is already very cheap, two bricks for a penny, how much does it cost.

The price of cement is a little higher, because more manpower is needed, and at this time, the matter of crushing powder still depends on manpower, even so, the value of cement as a binder is much lower than that of traditional glutinous rice milk. After the use of brick cement, the cost of building a house is greatly reduced.

If there were no cheap bricks and cement, if we wanted to build a barracks of the scale of the current barracks, there would be no hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the final cost of the entire barracks would be less than 50,000 taels of silver. Well, the 50,000 silver doesn't include labor costs. It's just the cost of materials.

Because Chen Zijian asked the people to do things, the wages he gave were very high, far higher than those in other places, and in other places, if he found a person to do coolies, he could have 500 yuan a month, which was to break his head and scramble to do it, but Chen Zijian here, a month's salary is three taels of silver, including food and drink, such a salary is not such an easy thing to break the head and scramble.

Fortunately, Chen Zijian has no limit on recruiting manpower, as many as he wants, as long as he is willing to come over to do things, he will recruit them, otherwise because of the matter of three taels of silver per month, it is not a big deal to make a mistake.

Giving the people such a good wage, in Chen Zijian's words, is rich, capricious, and does not explain! Of course, Chen Zijian gave such a good salary, and the harvest was not nothing, that is, the people who were arrested by him would hug his thighs tightly, and if he had anything, the people rushed to do it, and it was not okay not to let him do it.

As for what bad things Chen Zijian is doing outside, rebelling or something, will the red-eyed people care about this! Even if Chen Zijian killed the officials and rebelled, the people did not hesitate to follow behind to support.

Chen Zijian reaped the support of the people by raising wages and giving away part of the war dividends to the people, and after the people had money, they would also promote the economic development of Zhangjia Village.

Because the people have a large amount of spare money in their hands, it will further promote economic development, and now the time is short, and this effect has not yet been obvious. But Zhangjiacun undoubtedly has a huge consumer market, which is being nurtured.

In fact, the development of Zhangjia Village is undoubtedly stepping on the corpses of landlords, big businessmen, and bureaucrats, Chen Zijian wiped out the rich, powerful and landed people in Maoming County and Dianbai County, and a large amount of property was concentrated in his hands.

Now the whole village of Zhangjia is united around Chen Zijian and moving forward, and a new force is irreversibly rolling forward, and in the process of rolling, a large number of low-level people are included, forming an avalanche state, and the landlord and gentry class who block the way are crushed into ashes.

With a few "high-level", after visiting the barracks.

Chen Zijian: "Li Hu, send a fast horse to transfer Li Xi back from Dianbai County." ”

After speaking, he took out his notebook, wrote the appointment order and handed it to Li Hu.

After transferring Li Shi back and concentrating all the volunteers, Chen Zijian wanted to readjust and stipulate the formal establishment of the volunteers.

Li Hu took the order, saluted and went to arrange things.
