Qin Chuan is wearing a crisp salt-gray uniform today, black shiny riding boots with slightly bulging breeches on the outside of his thighs, and the upright large-brimmed hat belt on his head, which makes Qin Chuan, who is not short in height, feel even taller and more powerful, coupled with the shoulders, cuffs, and glittering copper buttons on his clothes and a gold-plated copper cockade composed of a five-pointed gold star and a war knife and rifle on his hat, the whole person looks energetic and radiant.

After the establishment of Qinchuan's salt regiment, in order to facilitate the command, on the basis of the original factory protection team of more than 100 people, Qinchuan imitated the military establishment of later generations to rearrange the salt regiment.

The factory protection team was divided into two, and the tall and agile martial arts team members were organized into the guard company, with Shi Feng as the company commander. The rest were organized into a company, and the company commander had not yet been established, so Shi Feng would take it first. According to Qin Chuan's idea, there are twelve people in each class; Each platoon includes the chief and deputy platoon commanders plus one herald for 39 people; Each company has three platoons plus a cooking squad, a guard and herald squad, and a baggage squad, plus a principal and deputy company commander, two orderlies, a clerk, a division soldier, and a hygienist, and the whole company has a full strength of 160 people.

Qin Chuan planned to set up six combat companies within his salt regiment. The headquarters has set up a staff unit and a logistics unit, and the troops directly under the headquarters have four companies of guards, cavalry communications, reconnaissance, and baggage, plus a health team. The full strength of these units should be more than 1,800 men. Shi Feng had already recruited 900 people in Cangzhou and Jingxian according to Qin Chuan's requirements, all of whom were young men under the age of 20 who were about 1.8 meters tall and had some martial arts, but the manpower was still insufficient, so he hurriedly sent people to catch up with Du Baozhong and Li Yutian, who were recruited in the northeast, and asked them to recruit at least more than 800 people. In addition, buy another 200 war horses.

The requirements for recruiting soldiers in Qinchuan are that they must be tall, preferably above 1.8 meters, younger than 18 years old, their height can be appropriately lowered, their age cannot exceed 20 years old, they must be peasants and scholars, and no soldiers in the city will be recruited. This standard, Qin Chuan was specified in accordance with the recruitment standards of the Northwest Army of Houshi, and Qin Chuan, who was originally a little apprehensive, was not relieved until he saw these good boys brought back by Shi Feng. Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that the Chinese are the sick men of East Asia is pure nonsense, and he doesn't know what those green battalions and Huai army have in mind when they put so many good soldiers and do not recruit, but they have so many market scoundrels and smokers.

Since the official establishment of the Salt Group, Qin Chuan has officially worn his uniform.

Qin Chuan made some improvements to the uniforms of the Yan Regiment, the style of the uniforms was basically imitated from the uniforms of the Beiyang Army and the German Wehrmacht in World War II, the trousers of the chief and deputy company commanders and headquarters personnel in the Yan Regiment, as well as the cavalry communication company, were breeches, and officers above the company commander were issued with black riding boots. Although you can't get an epaulette or any military rank, the cockade is a must, and the cockade with a five-pointed star on the saber and rifle cross is designed by Qin Chuan himself. In addition, in order to have a clear logo and distinguish his salt regiment from the Huai army and the green battalion, Qin Chuan was reluctant to sew a small armband on the left arm of the salt regiment uniform according to the rules, and there was only a small word "salt" on the armband.

Originally, when they saw the outfit of Yan Ding standing guard in front of the factory, the foreigners who got off the sedan chair and the car were a little surprised, and when Qin Chuan came out, many of the foreigners in the large group couldn't help but let out a low exclamation, looking at Qin Chuan's eyes were shining.

Qin Chuan smiled and said to Sheng Xuanhuai, who was dressed in official uniform: "Lord Sheng, Brother Chu Bao, I am late to greet you, and I still look at Haihan." ”

These days, for the construction of the new factory in Qinchuan, Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Shiheng have come to visit every once in a while, and they have long been familiar with Qinchuan. The first batch of canned luncheon meat from the cannery, which had been produced three days earlier, was taken away by Sheng Xuanhuai and sent to the Yamen, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang trade, as well as the Beiyang Fleet and various Huai military barracks near Tianjin, as well as the foreign companies in the lease and the embassies of various countries in Dongjiaomin Lane in the capital. Qin Chuan snatched a small part and sent it to Ning Xingpu, asking him to sell it in Tianjin.

Sheng Xuanhuai is worthy of being known as the father of Chinese businessmen in later generations, the distribution means are self-taught, even Qin Chuan admires in his heart, after Sheng Xuanhuai such a toss, the Aurora brand canned food suddenly became famous, not only the news from everywhere is surprisingly good, in Tianjin Wei merchants from all over the country, as well as Tianjin Wei businessmen, and even the foreign managers and compradors in the concession, have been flocking to it since yesterday morning, some are blocking the door of the Aurora dyeing factory and shouting to see Qin Chuan, and some simply find the canning factory directly, Some well-informed people directly called Qin Chuan's living room, including Xiao William and Ye Ziqi.

Xiao William directly asked Qin Chuan for the overseas sales agency of Aurora brand canned food, but Ye Ziqi regretted it and repeatedly complained on the phone that Qin Chuan did not tell him the unique taste and shelf life of this Aurora brand canned food, which made him lose the opportunity to invest in such a money-making project.

Whether it is to buy shares, or to ask for any overseas agency rights, these are all easy to deal with, but these people blocking the door of the dyeing factory and canning factory are not easy to do, let Qin Chuan explain and persuade them in every possible way, telling them that the products of the canning factory are still only trial production, and the market is only to see the sales first, and there is no external sales yet.

But those businessmen just didn't leave, many people simply took out the silver tickets to make a reservation, and in the end, Qin Chuan had no choice but to ask Ye Xilai to accept the advance payment first. It was not until noon that the managers, compradors, and merchants of these foreign banks were sent away.

After the settlement of the advance payment received, the payment was 370,000 yuan, which is almost the output of the canning factory for two months. Sheng Xuanhuai was even more excited when he learned the news, not only immediately urged Qin Chuan to find Xiao William to add equipment, but also immediately sent someone to hand over a note to Wang Enmao, the magistrate of Tianjin.

Receiving Sheng Xuanhuai's note, Wang Enmao dared to hesitate, and immediately sent a large number of officials to guard both ends of the dyeing factory and the construction site, except for making it clear that he was going to the dyeing factory to pick up colored cloth, everything else looked like he came to pester and buy canned food, and he did not let it in, so that the later merchants and the Tianjin people who were anxious to taste the taste of this canned food were even more urgent, and the phone in the living room almost rang non-stop. In the past two days, in order to hide and be quiet, except for sleeping, Qin Chuan did not dare to stay in the small western-style building longer.

Today, Qin Chuan was discussing with Schneider how to improve the German-made canned food filling equipment to increase the output, and went to the slaughterhouse to discuss how to reasonably increase the slaughter volume and ensure the supply of raw materials for canned food. Qin Chuan, who was very busy, heard the report of Yan Ding on duty that Sheng Xuanhuai was coming, so he hurriedly came out to greet him.

It's just that he suddenly saw Sheng Xuanhuai bringing these many foreigners, although most of the foreigners Qin Chuan had never seen, but there were Xiao William and several managers of German foreign companies that he had seen in Lishunde that day, these people Qin Chuan remembered, seeing this formation, he thought that these people were here to order again, and he couldn't help but be startled again.

Qin Chuan thought to himself, these foreigners look pretentious when they look at them, if they also come to order, then I am afraid that within half a year, his sales in China will be gone.
