The research and development of a product requires the investment of manpower, material resources, and financial resources in the early stage, which are very huge, and it is also thanks to Chen Xiu's pharmacy that can raise a huge amount of money infinitely.

The training intensity of the 15th Brigade has been strengthened again, because the escort of the base has been handed over to the newly recruited soldiers. And these fighters, under Tang Ning's training, also began to take on their appearance.

The materials of the base are also constantly procured, and in Liuba County, the business is more than twice as prosperous as when Chen Xiu and the others first arrived. And Chen Xiu knew that this was because he was constantly throwing money.

Once this trend is broken on his side, this business will still return to its original appearance.

"Brother Chen." Commerce is prosperous, and the taxes in Liuba County have doubled compared to the original, which is what County Magistrate Li never expected, Chen Xiu is no longer in the military, and it has been announced in the newspaper last time, it was the order personally issued by the commander of the 15th Brigade of the Du, "Brother wants to thank you." ”

"County Magistrate Li is polite." Chen Xiu smiled, "It's just mutual benefit." ”

County Magistrate Li doesn't dare to offend Chen Xiu now, not to mention the troops in Chen Xiu's hands, just this arsenal has been valued by the high-level, so it's not something he can think of, "Brother Chen, in the past six months, the county's taxes have almost doubled, and there are more smiles on the faces of the people, not to mention that they are on the street now." ”

Chen Xiu nodded, he sprinkled millions of dollars out, every month, if this can't rise, then he really has no choice, "So County Magistrate Li is here today?" ”

"Oh, I want to discuss something with Brother Chen today." County Magistrate Li coughed, "In recent months, I heard that troops have been sent to the base to guard a caravan, and my wife and brother also want to make a share, I don't know what conditions are required to join?" ”

Chen Xiu raised his eyebrows, it turned out that he had taken a fancy to the caravan, and said, "You can just pay a certain fee every year." ”

"How much do I have to pay?"

"In this way, the first time you will be free with the team, and after the second time, you will get 10% of the net profit." Chen Xiu spoke.

"Issei?" County Magistrate Li thought about it and nodded, "It's okay, then I'll go back and talk to them." ”

"Okay." Chen Xiu nodded, "The next departure of the caravan should be in 5 days." ”

"Okay." County Magistrate Li nodded, expressed understanding, and then said goodbye and left.

Suddenly, Chen Xiu felt that he could take this opportunity to recruit businessmen from the people, their business was like a bodyguard in ancient times, but some people had guns, and the security had been greatly improved, and they themselves had created enough profits, plus others, it would increase this profit, after all, they would go if they went, and they would go to collect other people's money.

The first time it is free, it is to let others taste the sweetness, and the later charge is the normal operation.

Although China is now in wartime, there will be no shortage of merchants in all dynasties and generations, especially in today's China, which is full of all kinds of merchants from foreign countries, trying to dump their foreign goods in China, and then bring back all kinds of cheap raw materials and minerals from China.

For his own characteristic products, Chen Xiu felt that penicillin must be developed.

Although the European and American agency rights of drugs were given to Leo's company, Chen Xiu should still have to control the Chinese market, and even the Australian and Asian markets.

It's just that in Asia now, except for Japan, there may not be so much money to buy. If it is sold to Japan, Chen Xiu would rather not sell it.

However, all this will have to wait until penicillin can be produced in large quantities, and now, there is only a high-yielding strain, and the yield is really low. This is also the result of Chen Xiu's almost two months, even with the experience and guidance of later generations, it still took so much time, not to mention, the problem of high-yield strains has not been solved.

Chen Xiu took a blank notebook and began to list the current situation of the base and the things that needed to be completed in the future.

1. Mauser 98K rifles, general-purpose machine guns, and copper-clad steel bullets can be produced at the current rate;

2. The production of mortars can continue to recruit workers, and try to work in three shifts with full firepower;

3. Research on the production line of imitation Garand rifles;

4. Research and design of anti-tank guns;

5. Field artillery research and design design;

6. Penicillin high-yielding strains;

7. Research on the design of the synthesis process of hemostatic sensitivity (phenosulfonamide);

8. Increase the storage of various raw materials;

9. Dealing in firearms;

10. Pharmacy drug classification;

11. Practical training for special combat team fighters;

12. Actual combat exercises of the fighters of the base escort regiment;

……

After a series of lists, Chen Xiu felt that there were still a lot of things, the first one basically didn't need to be taken care of, and it was okay to continue according to the current state, but when it came to the second one, he had to start recruiting. The third can be handed over to Sark to continue to work, and the fourth and fifth are better to get the structural drawings of anti-tank guns and field guns, otherwise, it will take too long just to design or conceive, so it is best to send someone to the Gongxian Arsenal or apply directly to the top, even if it costs a certain price.

As for the problem of penicillin high-yielding strains, it has been troubled for two months, and ultraviolet lamps have been studied, but how to induce mutation is really difficult, and I crossed the river by feeling the stones. Chen Xiu only hopes that everything can develop in a good direction and not waste too much time, because he doesn't have much time to waste.

The Battle of Xuzhou is over.

Although it won a small victory in Taierzhuang, Xuzhou still lost it after all.

The devil is still moving west, and a small victory doesn't seem to have much effect on the devil's pace.

sighed slightly, for half a year, I probably sold 20,000 or 30,000 guns to the major anti-Japanese forces, but it is still not enough, plus the guns for the Central Army, the total number is only 60,000, 60,000 guns, and the troops that can be equipped are only a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Chinese army, and it is not enough, we have to expand production capacity.

Then, Chen Xiu wrote another item in the notebook to expand the current production capacity.

As for the practical training of the soldiers of the special combat team, this is what Chen Xiu has planned recently, and the soldiers of the special combat team have been about four months since they were formed, and in the past four months, Chen Xiu has frantically stuffed them with knowledge, and Li Yifeng has frantically trained their military qualities.

Of course, in addition to military salaries, Chen Xiu also plans to set up ideological and political education.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiu wrote down the content of ideological and political education in his notebook.

As for the goal of actual combat training, they are now in Hanzhong, and they can only practice with some bandits for the time being, and when the soldiers really master various skills, Chen Xiu will send them to the battlefield.
