Cao Wenyao came to the noisy and lively market, and the cart of white silver quickly attracted the attention of the people, all of whom were frozen in place, swallowing saliva constantly.

Cao Wenyao only brought four or five family members over, but none of them dared to rob him.

Because several workers close to this place happened to be workers of Cao's weaving factory, and recognized the factory owner.

Several workers spontaneously walked over, separating the common people from rushing over to snatch the silver, and their mouths kept shouting.

"Sixth, hurry up, the master of the Cao factory is here."

"Shi Laosan, hurry up, don't mess around there."

"Anyone in overalls should come over here."

Lao Liu and Shi Lao San heard the shouting and came over to take a look, and saw a cart full of silver on the mule cart, they were stunned for a moment, and then quickly blocked in front of Cao Wenyao, separating the people.

All the workers who wore the work clothes of the various steam factories, whether they knew it or not, did not belong to the Cao Weaving Factory, and all of them spontaneously separated themselves from the common people.

There was everyone among the common people, and there was no shortage of lazy singles, who wanted to encourage the common people to rob the silver, and when they saw more than 20 workers spontaneously surrounding them, they could only give up this idea.

The status of the villagers who call themselves workers in their respective villages is getting higher and higher, and it is a very humiliating thing for anyone to marry a few workers at a wedding.

With the spontaneous partition of the workers, no one dared to rob.

Cao Wenyao didn't react to this situation at all, he still looked tepid, thinking that there were already tens of thousands of workers, most of whom were still strong laborers.

A word popped into my head.

Raise your arms and exhale.

Cao Wenyao drove the word out of his mind and let his relatives start recruiting.

Wearing a melon skin hat, he climbed on top of the mule cart, grabbed a heavy ingot of ten taels of silver, and shouted: "The workers' association is now recruiting village warriors, three taels of silver a month." ”

When the common people heard the words "Workers' Association", there was a lot of commotion, and it was not clear what the Workers' Association meant, but the Textile Association knew.

The textile association is the society established by all the weaving factories, and the workers' association must be the society established by all the steam factories.

If you join a workers' association, you can't become a worker.

The monthly money is as high as three taels of silver!

However, when they heard the word Xiangyong, the people hesitated, and the people couldn't be clearer about the life of the Ming military household.

There are also some widows of military families in the bazaar, who would still be working as prostitutes if it weren't for the potato flour and carding mills.

The common people wanted to become workers, but when they thought of the miserable days of the military households, they all flinched in fright, and none of them dared to walk over.

Cao Wenyao had long expected this situation, and he didn't force it, so he went back with a cart of silver.

Back at the White Round Mansion, Cao Wenyao first stored the silver in the exclusive treasury of the Self-Defense Department, and pushed his wheelchair to the Huishou Mansion to find Zhu Shun.

Zhu Shun was half-sitting and half-lying on the official hat chair, planning a strategic plan for next year, and when he saw Cao Wenyao coming in, he said one thing first: "The family has found a family affair for me, and Brother Cao must be present in two days." ”

Hearing that Zhu Shun was finally going to get married, Cao Wenyao's tepid face finally showed a smile: "Whose daughter?" ”

Zhu Shun pointed to Song Yingsheng, who had just come in, and said with a smile: "You also know, the youngest daughter of Old Lady Song." ”

Song Ying smiled gently, sat on the official hat chair, and slowly tasted tea.

The smile on Cao Wenyao's face became even stronger: "It's a good match, the youngest daughter of the Song family is a very famous scholarly woman in the capital, not only is she beautiful, but she is also very virtuous and virtuous." ”

With Cao Wenyao's temper, he never took the initiative to praise anyone, and today he made an exception for the youngest daughter of the Song family, it seems that this youngest daughter of the Song family has an excellent reputation.

Not only is it excellent, in the past two years, all the powerful children who have seen the youngest daughter of the Song family, which one is not shocking.

High-ranking officials, nobles, wealthy businessmen, and even a few matchmakers with royal children are about to break the threshold of the Song family.

Old man Song is old and has a daughter, and for his youngest daughter, he is regarded as the pearl of his palm, and he has never been willing to marry.

Who knew that Zhu Zhongren, an old couple outside the staff, had a trip and drank two cups of tea, and gave a lot of marriages that Xuanhe and powerful people had not resolved.

Zhu Shun himself has also seen the youngest daughter of the Song family, not only has he seen it, but he has also looked at it twice, because the little daughter of the Song family is really beautiful.

is very similar to the smash hit Hong Kong film beauties in the eighties and nineties, and they also have a virtuous and virtuous temperament unique to scholarly women.

Zhu Shun smiled, temporarily revealed the matter, and asked, "How is Xiangyong's recruitment?" ”

Cao Wenyao put away the smile on his face and replied tepidly: "The head of the meeting should have guessed the result, and no one was recruited." ”

Zhu Shun waved his hand and stopped Cao Wenyao from continuing to say: "Since this matter has been handed over to Brother Cao, Brother Cao has full authority to deal with it, I will only look at the results in half a month." ”

Cao Wenyao and Zhu Shun have been together for a long time, and the longer they get along, the more they are attracted by the charm of his temperament.

This time, it was actually a small temptation by Cao Wenyao to Zhu Shun, and the result was very satisfying to him, and he left here in a wheelchair.

How to recruit Xiang Yong, Cao Wenyao has already had a belly case.

If you are not prepared to recruit rural people, it will be difficult to form combat power in a short period of time, and it will take a lot of time to practice, and you will have to see blood.

A sergeant who has never seen blood and a sergeant who has seen blood are completely different things.

Second, the war awareness of the rural people is too poor, no matter how good the muskets and artillery are given to them, in the face of thousands of cavalry rushing to the Eight Banners, they will only cry and cry for their mother's rout.

The fear of Jiannu has long been engraved in his bones.

Cao Wenyao left the White Yuanfu and went to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, found the general judgment in charge of the accounts, the military craftsmen, the post delivery, and the horse herd, and asked for a document.

Fortunately, the prefect of Shuntianfu is his own person, and there are people in the court who are easy to handle, so the general judge issued the document on the spot.

The local squire recruited the township warriors and needed to be filed with the county government, and Cao Wenyao directly found the government because there were too many township warriors recruited, and the county government could not issue them.

In addition, this document also gave a cheap regulation, which allowed military households to be recruited as village warriors, but each military household needed to be offset by five taels of silver.

As a result, the Self-Defense Forces will have to spend more than 4,000 taels of silver a year, but it is still very cost-effective compared to the cost of training rural people.

Cao Wenyao is not only a factory owner, but also the leader of a large number of generals, with the help of these generals, it only took seven days to recruit all the villagers.

They were all teenagers over seven feet tall, and as long as they were given enough food and meat, it didn't take long for them to get stronger.

Especially the age, all of them are between sixteen and eighteen years old, and the teenagers of this time period have basically served in the frontier for several years and have seen blood.

The temperament is also the most energetic age, and the learning ability is also the best.

In this way, Chongzhen for six years.

The first armed force of the steam plant was officially established.
