"Young master, this is really a timely rain."

Lin Family Grange, looking at the war materials transported back by the soldiers of the Ning Army, Uncle Zhang smiled from ear to ear.

Lin Feng accompanied Lin Mu's eyes reflectively, although he didn't understand, he understood that these things were definitely high-quality.

"How's the recruitment of construction workers? How are the workers of the military workshop recruited? ”

It took Lin Mu two days to go down the river, and when he came back, it took him six days, and he was in a hurry on the boat, and he was most concerned about these two things.

"Young master, after the news of Jin Bing's southward movement spread in Jiangning, Jiangning City was in turmoil, and those who should have fled fled were all trying to figure out how to survive, so many poor people who did not entangled themselves in the south and fled south found our Lin family, hoping to join our Lin family's factory, and there were also some who wanted to join the Ning army, so the recruitment of construction and military workshop workers was very smooth." Uncle Zhang was both happy and sad.

I am glad that at this time workers are cheap and easy to recruit, and I am sad that troubled times are coming, and human life is like a mustard.

Lin Mu nodded when he heard this, in the face of an existential crisis, people's instinct is to hide from the wind and rain with their backs against the big trees.

His Ning army was at least in response to the imperial court's call, and it was an armed force, so it was natural that there would be poor people who could not escape.

"There's good news." Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "What kind of requirements do they have?" ”

"It's not a requirement, as long as the family can eat enough." Zhang Bo said: "If Jin Bing calls, eating will be a problem, and who would dare to make any excessive demands." ”

"It's not difficult, you tell them that it's not a problem to follow the Lin family to eat and dress warmly." Lin Mu didn't pretend to be big, and now at this time, the lower the treatment of the workers, the better, after all, the silver should be used on the blade.

"Yes, boy." Uncle Zhang answered yes.

When the two were talking, Lin Qing, Lin Yang and the backbone generals of the Ning army arrived, Lin Mu asked Shan Hu to supervise the transportation of materials, and took everyone to the mansion in the middle of the grange, from now on they will have an overall operation.

Sitting down on the main seat, Lin Mu asked everyone to sit down, and he said: "Now that we have all the materials for building Wubao and forging muskets, we will all move from tomorrow, and today I will assign the next plans and tasks." ”

Everyone nodded slightly, waiting for Lin Mu's next words.

"Second uncle, third uncle, you are still in charge of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, preparing salaries and grain and grass for Ning Jun."

Lin Qing and Lin Yang nodded.

Lin Mu looked at Lin Feng: "Now that the military factory needs all the things it needs, temporarily stop smelting steel, let everyone devote themselves to the production of muskets and artillery, and at the same time set up an ordnance school in the military factory to select some excellent craftsmen to learn firearms knowledge." ”

"Yes." Lin Feng looked excited.

"Lu Zhen, Lin Rui, you are responsible for the training of the Ning army, but at the same time, you must also pay attention to the training of generals, so at the same time as the training, a military academy was established to teach generals all kinds of battle tactics."

"Yes, Captain." The two of them responded at the same time, and an infantry drill had convinced the two, and now they were looking forward to the military academy even more.

Looking at Zhang Yang, Lin Mu said: "The rest of the construction team can only be handed over to you, but don't be afraid, the construction team will also set up a school to learn some architectural knowledge." ”

Scratching his head, he said with a hippie smile: "Young master, I can't do anything else, I can only do some chores, and the small one guarantees to build Wubao strongly." ”

Lin Mu nodded, and then he discussed the details of many things with everyone, and then let everyone disperse.

The next day, Zhang Bo led 8,000 strong people to the Grange, Lin Mu organized 3,000 people into the construction team according to the specialties registered when the 8,000 people registered, 2,000 people into the military factory, and the remaining 3,000 people were added to the Ning army, expanding the Ning army to 8,000 people.

After assigning the recruited workers, Lin Mu immediately ordered them to set up their own schools, and he first took the drawings to the construction team that Zhang Yang was in charge of.

"Now the thing in front of you is called cement, and you can mix sand to bond the bricks together, and you will use it to build the Ulburg......"

In the school are the foremen of the construction team selected by Lin Mu, and these people have experience in building houses.

In front of them, Lin Mu showed how to mix cement and sand and how to mix them at the same time, and then used bricks to build a simple wall.

Introducing the materials, Lin Mu continued: "Now your task is not only to build Wubao, but also to be responsible for the construction of the building of the military factory, which is the workshop and the drawings of Wubao. ”

Lin Mu hung the drawings on the wall, pointed to the structure on the drawings and explained to the crowd, telling them how to build them.

"Young Master, is the six-meter-high city wall enough?" Zhang Yang was a little worried, "The city wall of Jiangning City is twelve meters. ”

"Let's focus on attacking, and we don't hide in Urbao for the New Year." Lin Mu said with a smile, the real purpose of his construction of Wubao was not to prevent the Jin people from attacking the city, but to hide the military factory and all kinds of materials, so that his military factory would not be destroyed in the first place in the war.

At that time, a steady supply of firearms was assured.

Zhang Yang scratched his head with a smile and continued to listen to Lin Mu's explanation, and in an hour, they basically had a plan about the Wubao to be built, and they also understood what to do.

"The Lin family caustic soda factory in the city is burning green bricks at the same time, you go there to transport the bricks back, and use this material to build the factory and Wubao." Lin Mu finally said.

Zhang Yang stood up at this time, and said to the foreman in the school in the tone of a boss: "The three of you are responsible for building the building of the military factory, one of you will give you three hundred people, and the rest will be in charge of Wubao." ”

Lin Mu was very satisfied with Zhang Yang's distribution, the current military factory needs a small plant, nine hundred people are enough, after all, only one floor will be built.

After explaining a little more, Lin Mu went to find Lin Feng, compared to the construction team, the matter of the military factory is more complicated.

In order to keep secrets, he needs workers in the military factories not to move freely and to sign confidentiality contracts, and if he can't do that, he doesn't need such workers.

"How many people want to stay?" Lin Mu asked, life in a military factory is destined to be boring.

"Eight hundred people have gone, and there are still 1,200 left, and with the blacksmiths and their apprentices I have recruited, there are now 1,800 people." Lin Feng was in a bad mood, and he was naturally not happy when he left eight hundred people at once.

Lin Mu said: "Don't be afraid, 1,800 people are more than enough, have you picked out the backbone of the team?" ”

"Picked out." Lin Feng pointed to the fifty people behind him.

Lin Mu was very satisfied, and he was ready to adopt an assembly line to produce Mini rifles, which required a process and a division of the process.

In addition to the Mini rifle, the military factory also has an important task to produce all kinds of artillery, which is the bulk of the military factory.
