Since Su Jin's affairs have been arranged, Liu Ximing turned his head to Su Yan after speaking, I don't know what this younger brother has to do, it has been almost a month from Fucheng to the village, and he hasn't talked to him carefully.

Seeing this, Su Yan hurriedly bowed down and said: "My lord, I don't like to learn like my brother, so I have no hope of starting a career, and I used to be in Hanzhong, mainly responsible for taking care of the shops in the house and other things, helping my brother prosper the family business." ”

Haha, someone sent pillows when he was really sleepy, once the textile workshop in Liujia Village opened, he would soon face the problem of sales, Liu Ximing himself was lacking in skills, and most of the other people in the family had not been in contact with business affairs, so he was worried that he could not find someone to be in charge.

But how capable is Su Yan?

Su Jin saw Liu Ximing looking at him, and immediately made a guarantee: "Don't worry, the foolish brother used to keep the house in order, and only then did he have the heart to focus on the scientific examination, and the lord will know it as soon as he tries it." ”

"Hahaha, okay, I don't know much about this business, let's try it, and when we go back, we will build a new commercial house at home, specializing in external sales and other things, and then let Zhiding be an assistant first."

"Thank you for your appreciation," the Su brothers thanked in unison.

The addition of two key talents made Liu Ximing a little excited, and he simply didn't plan to read the book, and pulled Su Jin to carefully inquire about some of the situations among the thieves.

Although the tigers in the mountains can only be regarded as small people among the thieves, these thieves and bandits also know how to communicate with each other, so Su Jin does have some information that is more useful to Liu Ximing, such as where there are bandits in Shunqing Mansion, and there are seven or eight bandits in northeast Sichuan.

In particular, Su Jin's experiences in various places gave Liu Ximing an intuitive understanding of the situation in this era, and the three of them talked freely for half a night, which made Liu Ximing feel like he was empty in the middle of the night.

Although the Su brothers were effective, they could not be promoted, but on the second day, Liu Ximing still asked Liu Xihe to try his best to vacate a single dormitory for Su Jin's family, so as to win people's hearts.

On the other hand, on the side of Liujia Village, after the whole village meeting was held, each house rushed to do various projects according to the division of labor, and there were now 7 or 800 strong men in the village, and it took only three days to complete the burial of the fallen soldiers and other affairs under full mobilization.

"Raise the gun"

"Shooting"

Four miles west of Liujia Village, under the hills of Liujia Village is the location of the cemetery selected by Liu Xihe, which is surrounded by mountains and lush trees, which is an excellent place for feng shui.

At this time, Shao Rong led the musket team to stand in front of dozens of coffins and fired their guns in greeting according to the pre-rehearsed process.

"Bang", "Bang"

Clear gunfire resounded through the valley.

Liu Ximing stood solemnly with more than 3,000 people in the village, watching Yu Yongkai read the list of dead people one by one, Li Biao and others immediately stepped forward to carry the coffin into the burial.

"Although the martyrs die, the souls of the heroes are always there"

Liu Ximing raised his head, and all the Longxiang guards shouted loudly, and the sad voice made the hearts of everyone present sour.

Although the whole ceremony is not long, but this kind of respect for heroes, the scene of remembering heroes is deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in Liujia Village, joining the Longxiang guard not only has a high salary during life, but also has a variety of mourning guarantees after death, and most people are beginning to be proud of joining Longxiang.

"Next, commend the meritorious personnel...... Shao Rong, You Gao, Liu Hui, Jiang Shen, Wu Meng, Jiao Shan...... Waiting for 61 people to come out, in view of your outstanding performance, I will award you the title of German character. Yuan Song, Qu An, Ma Zheng, Qi Yang...... Waiting for 54 people to come out, in view of your outstanding performance, I will award you the title of Baozi. ”

With the increase in the number of Long Xiang, Liu Ximing no longer gives each new member a ranking, but replaces it with a reward and recognition, so that as long as the name is known, you can know whether this person has made meritorious service or not, and it is the first batch to join the Liu family, and the effect is really good from the current situation.

Shao Rong, who should be called Shao Derong in the future, took the newly made battle medal from Liu Ximing's hand with red eyes, beat his chest with his right hand and saluted: "Thank you, second brother"

"Work hard"

Wu Meng and the other three were expelled from the team because of laziness before, and he was ashamed and brave in this battle, so he was specially allowed to return to the team by Liu Ximing, and he was also among the awardees, and he was even more choked up at this time: "Second brother, I ...... it"

Liu Ximing put his arms around his shoulders, asked him to turn around and face the audience and said: "Wu Demeng, Jiao Deshan, and Hu Deling were expelled from the team because of their mistakes before, but they were able to correct them in time and come forward at a critical moment. ”

Shao Derong, You Degao and others took the lead in applauding in the audience, and Wu Demeng and the other three couldn't help crying.

……

The matter of Wu Demeng and others was just a small episode of the award, and the whole ceremony ended quickly, and the issue of rewards for meritorious service personnel had also been announced, of course, if you want to get the money, you have to wait until the cotton cloth in the village is sold.

"I announce that from today onwards, Long Xiangqu will be upgraded to the Longxiang Regiment, and Yu Yongkai will be appointed as the ideological and political officer of the regiment, Mu Jingnan will be the deputy head of the regiment, Li Jingsi will be the judge of the regiment, Zhang Jingliang, Zheng Jingcai, and Shao Derong will be the chief of the qu, You Degao will be the chief of the recruit Qu, and Li Biao will be the chief of the pro-guard Tuntun ......"

There were 97 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18 among the thieves' captives, and in line with the idea of not wasting manpower, Liu Ximing first included these people in the recruit song, and then exempted from labor after being officially hired, which could be regarded as further loosening the restrictions on the thieves' prisoners.

With Liu Ximing to read out the new establishment and personnel changes one by one, everyone in the Longxiang group was surprised and happy, surprised by the people who respected the characters, and happy the people of the German generation.

The second batch of people who joined saw this scene were mostly happy, this reward, nearly half of them were given the German character ranking, and many teammates were promoted to the position of tun chief, captain and other positions, everyone suddenly felt that the second brother was really rewarded and punished, and the rumors in the past that the word respect was the second brother's henchman was self-defeating.

Liu Ximing laughed secretly in his heart, to say that he hadn't heard these rumors in the team was a lie, but for the sake of these people just unintentionally talking about it, and not deliberately spreading rumors, he didn't specifically investigate it.

He took this issue into consideration when rewarding merit this time, and specially promoted Shao Derong and You Degao, who were outstanding latecomers as a balance, and even the Baozi generation arranged some positions such as deputy captain and deputy tun chief, and the cohesion of the whole team was further enhanced.

After a few days of busy work, Liujia Village was finally freed from the follow-up affairs of the thieves, and the production and construction work in the village continued to be carried out steadily.

Due to the addition of more than 1,000 people, Liu Ximing's space has added 40 acres of land, but the yield of cotton per mu has also dropped to 9 stones per mu, so that 21 groups of textile threads can be added after a month, in line with the purpose of obtaining the maximum surplus value, Liu Ximing directly recruited 147 people from the labor team as reserve female workers, which happened to save wages.

"Aunt Wu, how is the start of work now?"

After the establishment of the textile workshop, there was an urgent need for management personnel, and because they were all female workers, Liu Ximing could not arrange men to manage them.

It happened that Aunt Wu had handled a lot of affairs properly as the director of the canteen for most of the year, and Liu Chen recommended her to her son to serve as the assistant of the textile workshop.

Aunt Wu's family helped Liu Ximing a lot when she started her family, and in addition to appointing her as the assistant of the textile workshop, Liu Ximing simply added her the title of deputy deacon of the workshop.

Now the Liu family's management personnel are divided into eight levels, and their salaries range from one or two to ten taels.

Of course, at present, although these managers have the titles of deacon and assistant, the highest ones such as Chen Yiding can get about three taels, and Aunt Wu, the deputy deacon, can get almost two taels and five yuan.

This is a high salary in the Meng Dynasty, Aunt Wu's family and Li Biao's two taels of salary per month, calculated to be able to get more than fifty taels a year, this is really something that I never dreamed of, her family can be said to be loyal to the Liu family.

"Erlang, at present, 57 of these production lines are already in operation, and they can produce 710 horses of cloth a day."

Liu's cloth because of the shuttle loom, each cloth width of five feet three inches, nearly 1.8 meters, of course, the corresponding length is also reduced to one zhang six inches, a piece of cloth about 10 square meters, than the Meng Dynasty cloth is twice as much, so it is called a big cloth.

Liu Ximing nodded, so that the output value of a day can be more than two hundred taels, but he is still concerned about another thing, so he turned his head and asked Chen Yiding, who was accompanying him: "Uncle, have the craftsmen in the workshop done a good job in the method of dyeing cloth mentioned before?" ”

"Oh, don't worry, there are dyers among the craftsmen recruited from the city last time, and we have already built a small dyeing workshop, why don't you go and see it now?" Chen Yiding, as a counselor of the workshop, was familiar with these things, and immediately replied to Liu Ximing.

Liu Ximing looked at the busy state of the textile workshop, and saw that there were no major problems to solve, so he nodded and led a group of people to detour to the dyeing workshop to check.
