Chapter 18 Steady Development

The Guangnan Patrol Battalion was vigorously carrying out the great cause of suppressing bandits, but their commander Xiao Mubai returned to Zhaojia Village, Zhulin Town, with personal guards and two pipe belts, Yan Weidong and Mo Chunlin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is said that people should pay attention to dressing for a day and two heads, and today's Zhaojiacun is exactly the answer to this sentence. Countless wastelands that had previously existed have now been redeveloped; Formerly low hills and dry riverbeds, they have now been converted to flat land; The old low-rise adobe houses and thatched huts are gone, replaced by small brick houses built of bricks fired in brick kilns; In the past, Dun Dun was a family that ate bran and drank thin, but now he has become a rich family with surplus food.

Not only that, in order to cope with the expanding demand for factories, mines and school construction, many villagers have also invested in the construction of many cement factories, brick kiln factories, tile kiln factories and so on with the help of Xiao Mubai. Among the factories built by the villagers, there are many brick and tile factories that seem to have a particularly low technical content. Because of the adoption of seemingly simple practical technologies such as explosives to open mountains, small machinery assisted excavation, mechanical mixing, one-time billet formation, converter production, etc., the brick and tile factory, which has greatly improved its production technology, not only provided bricks for the factory built by Xiao Mubai under the work of three shifts at cheap labor costs, but also sold the surplus to the people around Zhulin Town at an appropriate price.

When Xiao Mubai walked into the village, at the west end of the village, on a construction site near the river and the mountain, the construction team was in full swing. The ground has been dug up, and there are dozens of large and small pits more than one person deep, all of which are the foundations of the new school, and people are pouring cement and steel bars on the construction site, and pressing large stones that are extremely hard.

"When, when, when......"

"One, two; One, two"

Groups of stone-carrying workers kept picking up large stones from the wagons and then carrying them to the foundation pit to tamp the foundation. The whole construction site, except for the sound of hammerhammers, is mixed with the sound of workers shouting trumpets, which seems to be extremely busy.

Since entering the territory of Zhulin Town, Yan Weidong and Mo Chunlin began to be shocked by the endless crowd and a busy scene on the road, and now after waiting for Zhaojia Village, and then seeing the factories and factories, the two of them can stuff eggs with their big open mouths. Although I had heard that the Commander had opened a lot of factories in private, I didn't expect it to be such a method.

After a few people came to Zhaojia Village, it was already dark, so they came to Xiao Mubai's house. And when they heard the news of Xiao Mubai's return, Zhao Mingchuan, Chang Er and several other acquaintances also came to visit.

"Mu Bai, you're finally back, it's been half a year, it's rare!" From afar, Zhao Mingchuan's voice came.

Seeing this, Xiao Mubai also smiled heartily and said, "Mingchuan, come in, I just came back, and I haven't had time to see you yet." I would like to introduce you to two friends, this is Yan Weidong, the pipe band of the Baoning Patrol Battalion, and this is Mo Chunlin, the pipe band of the Fuzhou Patrol Battalion. ”

"Luck, luck!" Zhao Mingchuan smiled and arched his hand towards the two.

Yan Weidong and Mo Chunlin next to them naturally didn't dare to hold it up, so they hurriedly returned the salute.

In this way, after a few people walked into the lobby with a smile, Zhao Mingchuan, as the chief butler, first began to report to Xiao Mubai on the development of all aspects after the year. After a year of precipitation, Zhao Mingchuan is no longer the somewhat cynical young man he was at the beginning, under Xiao Mubai's constant hearing and eyes, his whole person began to become elegant and subtle.

Listening to Zhao Mingchuan's report, Xiao Mubai sometimes frowned and shook his head, and sometimes nodded with a smile, which made Yan Weidong and Mo Chunlin, who were watching from the side, suspicious. The reports of Zhao Mingchuan and Chang Er did not avoid Yan Weidong and Mo Chunlin at all, and both of them understood in their hearts that this was the reason why the Lord Commander regarded himself as a confidant. At this moment, listening to the string of numbers read out of Zhao Mingchuan's mouth, although the two of them had no expression on their faces, they were really shocked in their hearts. As the commander, it's really not as simple as it seems!

Xiao Mubai naturally didn't know what Yan Weidong and Mo Chunlin were thinking, and he was thinking about it at this time. After a year of development, all the businesses under its umbrella have now made great progress.

In terms of industry, a small hydropower station was newly built, not only the original cement factory, quilt factory, etc., have been expanded, but also opened a lot of new canning factories, flour mills, oil mills, etc., Yunnan this place, all kinds of fruits are everywhere, and it is better to open a canning factory. Aside from these, the steel mill that Xiao Mubai watched the most has now reached the goal of producing 100,000 tons of steel per year, yes, the ordnance factory now produces 10,000 rounds of ammunition per day, and the daily production of Mauser 98 rifles has reached the level of fifty shots.

After two seasons of rice planting and harvesting, the average yield per mu reached a high yield of 400 kilograms, although it has not yet achieved the effect expected by Xiao Mubai, but it also made many farmers cry on the high grain pile, many old farmers even went to the field to sleep after the rice heading, so that they could see the harvest scene that they had never seen in their lives at any time. The two-season planting has not only solved the problem of food and clothing for several villages that were the first to plant new rice, but also completely driven the actions of surrounding and even farther villages. In this way, the same person also raised Xiao Mubai's personal prestige and prestige to a new height.

After waiting for Zhao Mingchuan's introduction, Xiao Mubai said: "Mingchuan, I have an idea, see if you can integrate these factories of ours into a large group company, so that it is more convenient to manage." ”

Zhao Mingchuan pondered for a moment, and after some thought, he said, "Well, your idea is good, I think it's okay." But what do you think it's a good name? After saying that, he laughed easily.

"Let's call it Huasheng. You are the president, as for the general manager and everything, you can manage the recruitment yourself, and I will not mix it. ”

"Well, I have a few suitable candidates here. The son-in-law of Mrs. Guo's family in the former village, named Guo Xudong, came back from abroad a year ago, and he opened the newly opened flour mill. ”

"Oh? If you have the opportunity, you have to know each other. Xiao Mubai didn't expect that there would be such a character in this realm.

"By the way, Mu Bai, there is something I almost forgot to tell you, a month ago, when Chang Er and they were on patrol, they caught a few suspicious people, and they didn't say anything when they asked, in order to avoid trouble, they are all imprisoned in Eagle's Beak Rock now, if you have time, go over and take a look!" Zhao Mingchuan told Xiao Mubai about something that he suddenly remembered.

Xiao Mubai nodded, indicating that after he knew, Zhao Mingchuan went home. It was already late at night after a few people finished chatting, and after letting Chen Chuan settle Yan Weidong and the two, Xiao Mubai also went to rest.

Early the next morning, Xiao Mubai remembered what Zhao Mingchuan had said, so he took Yan Weidong and a few people to Eagle's Beak Rock. He showed great interest in the few suspicious people that Zhao Mingchuan had said. In these years, the identities of people with suspicious deeds are nothing more than that.

Today's eagle's beak rock has changed the appearance of the cottage of the mountain bandits in the past. After half a year of construction of the Joint Defense Force, it has become an authentic military camp.

The buildings here are all designed by Xiao Mubai, modeled after the military camps of later generations, which makes people look neat and refreshing. The two-storey dormitory buildings are painted with red paint and neatly lined up in the shade of trees, the dormitories are all bunk steel beds, the roads are all cement roads, and the roads are green belts, and the entire barracks are built like parks. Yan Weidong and Mo Chunlin, who were watching, were envious, compared to here, the military camp of the patrol camp was simply a pig's nest.

Xiao Mubai walked on the cement road in the barracks with a few people, looking at the soldiers who shouted the trumpet and did not squint from time to time. At this time, Yan Weidong and the two of them looked at these soldiers with short hair, camouflage uniforms, and spears walking past them in a neat queue, and they felt pleasing to the eye no matter how they looked at it. On the contrary, I feel that among all the people, only the two of them are slightly embarrassed to have braided hair.
