Chapter 160: Explosive Development
Chapter 160: Explosive Development
In order to avoid chaos and increase everyone's confidence, in just one day, Ye Tan ordered the Tiger Army to publish various laws and regulations. For example, the Labor Law, the Customs and Taxation Law, the Criminal Law, and so on. In addition, the yamen was simplified into a comprehensive office, which was managed by the military and handled daily affairs. Re-register household registration information and personal property.
As soon as the regulations were announced, many wealthy people who were hiding were really relieved and walked out of their homes. However, fearing that their property would be confiscated, many people chose to sell it to the LTTE at a fair price when they registered.
But it was said that Puhai, the recruitment notice of 50,000 people had just been posted, and it was overfulfilled in less than an hour. A large number of people with yellow faces and thin muscles kept coming from other places. After learning the news of the full crowd, the dead skin stayed and was reluctant to leave. For this reason, the recruitment quota had to be raised to 200,000.
Attracted by an annual salary of 50 to 450 taels of silver, plus a year-end bonus, and the secret investigation data of the dragon's teeth, Ye Tan recruited more than 3,200 cashiers (the head of the stall is equivalent to the manager, and the guy is equivalent to the business manager or deputy) in just half a day. Overnight, Puhai International Bank used the 30 tons of gold as the purchase savings fund in Songjiang Mansion, Taicang Mansion and Puhai Province, and Ye Tan temporarily added 50 tons of gold and 10 million silver dollars to open 100 branches in a row. The various money banks and ticket numbers that know the origin of the bank, just the piles of flowers deposited in Puhai International Bank in various places, there are 5 million taels of silver.
Ye Tan printed 400 million red plastic banknotes of various denominations early in the morning, of which the 100 yuan denomination, the paper is the battleship Puhai, the back is a white clams shell, and there is a golden pearl pattern inside. The face value of 50 yuan is the battleship Jinmen on paper, and the back is an albino sperm whale pattern. The face value of 20 yuan is a wooden 3,000-ton battleship on paper, and the back is a locomotive locomotive front pattern. The face value of 10 yuan, the paper is a 1,000-ton wooden battleship, and the back is a rubber tree pattern. The face value of 5 yuan, the paper is the Pujiang wharf, and the back is a luminous light bulb pattern. With a face value of 1 yuan, the paper surface is a textile machine, and the back is a sewing machine pattern. 10 points of face value, the paper surface is raw silk, and the back is a foreign fire pattern. One cent of face value, the paper is tea, and the back is the pattern of the old walled city. One dollar note is exchanged for one tael of silver. One dollar note is exchanged for 1.5 silver dollars. Not only is it numbered, but it also has a special anti-counterfeiting mark.
In order to quickly establish a reputation, show their strong strength, and promote banknotes. Ye Tan's temporary head office in Puhai deliberately built a golden wall in a corner of the hall. 80 tons of gold were piled up there, which put a lot of money on the bank. Out of fear of the LTTE, they did not dare to act rashly. Coupled with the purchase list given by the Tigers, they were both painful and happy.
Carefully calculated, plus the seized funds, Ye Tan's principal position also has 105 million taels of silver, plus pile flowers, 110 million taels. Quadrupling the total amount of banknotes, plus tax guarantees, is a hundred times stronger than Hu Xueyan's trick of ten jars and seven lids.
After seeing the economic strength of the Tigers, the Great Grain Stores in Songjiang and Taicang Provinces, which were on the sidelines, contacted through intermediaries and expressed their willingness to sell grain.
For these grain stores, Ye Tan already knew where they came from, and it was the Cao Gang who stood behind them. The Cao Gang is complicated internally, and for Ye Tan, it is a time bomb. However, now Ye Tan still has to use the Cao Gang to transport grain. Moreover, they have at least hundreds of thousands of stones of rice in their hands, which is a much-needed material in front of them. Therefore, for the Cao Gang, Ye Tan is watching his actions and listening to his words.
Puhai belongs to the economic center demarcated by Ye Tan early on. Just last year, there was a Sulun yarn factory in Suzhou, which used a steam engine to drive a 38.7 kilowatt DC generator to generate electricity for lighting. Therefore, the construction of thermal power plants has become Ye Tan's most urgent task at present.
The dragon tooth agents who were lurking early in the morning had already excavated a large number of stone materials on Jintang Island, fired a large number of red bricks in Zhenhai, and purchased a large amount of materials and land, such as coal and wood, as well as lime, etc., just waiting for Ye Tan to arrive.
So, as soon as the workers got their hands on it, they were taken to the town of Gaohu (patriotic) in the southwest and the school garden in the west, where they began to build power plants and warehouses.
At the same time, the locomotives of the trains, as well as five or six 200,000-kilowatt DC generator sets, were unloaded from the battleship Pujiang and pulled directly to the Tilan Bridge.
In the early stage, Ye Tan arrived at the time of the yo-ball, and a few dragon teeth handed over 20,000 rubber tree seeds to Ye Tan's hands. The rubber tree has been growing in the blue pupil space of the leaf sandalwood for a long time. At the beginning, the yield of a rubber tree was 2 catties, and with the passage of time, up to now, the yield of rubber trees has reached 6 catties. The raw rubber needed by Ye Tan has been hoarded about 30 tons.
Xiao Hong's arrival also brought more than 10 tons of red copper and 20 tons of ethylene plastic particles refined from petroleum to Ye Tan.
Together, these materials can be synthesized into a variety of plastic materials.
With the electric converter, the first batch of various types of cables and wires have been produced in the space of Ye Tan.
In view of the low-lying terrain in this area of Puhai, Ye Tan raised the foundation of all the factories built by more than 2 meters.
With the joint efforts of 200,000 people, it took only half a month to stand in Hongkou.
Spinning mills, textile mills, match factories, garment factories, furniture factories, quilt factories, dyeing and printing factories, printing factories, confectionery factories, biscuit factories, candied fruit factories, tangerine peel factories, barrel factories, electric light factories, timber factories, rubber factories, shoe factories...... These processing plants, which were relatively simple in technology, were soon put into production.
There are also concrete granite structure of Puhai International Bank Headquarters, Puhai International University, middle school, primary school, kindergarten, orphanage home, nursing home, provincial halls, Puhai Traditional Chinese and Western Hospital, Puhai Library, Puhai Pharmaceutical Factory, Puhai Arsenal, Puhai Brewery, Puhai Distillery, Puhai Hotel, Yuqingtang Chinese Medicine Pharmacy......
Paper mills, steel mills, thermal power plants, cement factories, tile factories, glass factories in Gaohu Town......
The wide highways and roads, as well as the railway, were slowly connected from Songjiang Mansion and Taicang Mansion to Puhai under the condition that Ye Tan was willing to invest his capital.
In short, the whole of Puhai has become a huge and busy construction site, like a winding clockwork, almost day and night. The more than 600 veterans, who had to train recruits and take on the duties of engineers, were so busy that they had little time to rest. Even these changes have to be filmed.
During this time, although Ye Tanren hid in the room of the Puhai, he was not idle at all.
The machinery needed for thermal power plants, steel plants, cement factories, tile factories, paper mills, printing plants, etc., the fifty or sixty thousand tons of steel sent by Xiao Hong and them were almost consumed by Ye Tan.
The happiest are the merchants, who keep scavenging for wood, coal, limestone, iron ore, tea, cotton, rice, wheat, raw silk, clay, and silica sand needed from all over the world...... Although the price is not high, the demand is huge. But many new bosses successfully dug the first pot of gold.
The whole Puhai is almost a change every day. Especially those foreigners and civilians who have not been restricted from moving, they are people who have enjoyed the benefits of the industrial revolution and have advanced vision, but after seeing Ye Tan's great initiative, they have to marvel at Ye Tan's strength and courage.
Ye Tan only announced the removal of their special rights and the prohibition of spreading the teachings. After a period of uncertainty, they began to come out of their homes and take an active part in the trading activities. Tea and porcelain, as well as new clothing and light bulbs, became their favorites. As for the leather shoes with rubber soles, there was no way, Ye Tan couldn't meet the local needs for the time being, so he simply refused their request. In order not to discourage their enthusiasm, Ye Tan promised to provide them with products after half a year.
Of course, there are some speculators with ill intentions, who from time to time want to take the opportunity to spy on the advanced equipment in the factory. In particular, the DC generator set driven by the locomotive of the train, as well as the artillery position of Liujiazui. It's a pity that the recruits trained by the instructors were blocked.
And these people have become the target of attention of the dragon's tooth agents.
At the end of the evening, Brother Mao, who was building a warehouse in the school garden, had just finished eating the oily rice with big fish and fat, burping, looking at the granite foundation more than 3 meters high, and couldn't help but recall the scene half a month ago. Who would have thought that it would be so nourishing now.
"Brother Mao, there is still half a month, and we will get you a salary of 3 taels of silver every month."
The eleven or twelve-year-old boy, whose face had begun to turn rosy, said with his eyes full of longing.
"Paparazzi, I heard that the conditions for recruiting soldiers in the Tigers are very strict, and I have heard people privately say that no one in the gang is wanted, just civilians who farm the land and work as coolies."
Brother Cat said a little unwillingly.
"Brother Mao, don't you have a good relationship with Su Jianhong, the leader of the Tiger Army? We can go and ask him for help. ”
The paparazzi felt that this trick had been tried in the past, so he said with some puzzlement.
