The first workshop, can accommodate 300 sets of 50 cotton spindles spinning machine at the same time, the number of cotton spindles up to 15,000 spindles, is the design, the largest plant, now, 300 spinning machines have been basically in place, the plant has a prototype, it is estimated that up to half a month later, the first batch of workers, as well as spinning machines, will be stationed, cotton spinning mills, will be at an astonishing speed, after planning and recruitment, only half a month to put into production, which is a miracle in China.

Zhang Jian's cotton textile factory, he from the project to the first strand of cotton yarn released, it took more than 2 years, from the moving diagram to the trial production, it took a year, Baotou, the reason, there is such a speed, on the one hand, is from scientific management, sufficient funds, on the other hand, from Yang Yuanzhao has already brought back this batch of spinning looms, you know, any machine in this era, there are batches, from the beginning of the order, to the production, almost half a year, although, the import is second-hand, But after Yang Yuanzhao's modification, under the advanced power and design, his power far exceeds the spinning machine of this era, and it is based on this that everyone is very convinced.

China is not short of money, even the Qing Dynasty, which has reached the brink of collapse, and the Ming Dynasty of that year, several wars and massacres in the early days of the Qing Dynasty, almost astronomical amounts of gold and silver, and most of them, accompanied by the death of people, and forever buried in the ground, in the news of later generations. It's not often to see someone in the backyard. Or is there gold or silver dug up from the earth?

China's development over thousands of years. It has become a habit to store and keep it for the back, and according to later generations, it is the lack of liquidity of money, modern commerce, and modern finance, so that money can flow and money can make money. is the real direction of development, and like the landlords in feudal society, money is placed there, stored, this is the biggest drawback, not liquid money, can only be called money, not only will not appreciate, but also depreciate.

This time the cotton mill. It was also a temptation for Yang Yuanzhao, who wanted to know how much wealth the Jin merchants, who were so rich that rivaled the country, how much wealth they had. Therefore, the price of the machine has become the price of international practice. After this time. Yang Yuanzhao began to realize that China's folk. How rich is it, mobilize these forces. It is what he should do to unite these people who have great influence in all aspects of society to form a class and form a real community of interests.

After thinking about it, he still made the plan to see how much strength the Jin merchants could have, and these money-making light industries might become the foundation of Baotou, and then, he went to guide the people who made money to continue to invest in heavy industry, and they could also rely on light industry to train a group of industrial workers.

The plan is to do batch after batch, but for the time being, or to shelve, first, the investment in the cotton mill, a certain process, so that most of the Jin merchants' working capital is here, if you want new investment, you must introduce new forces, the eight Jin merchants are here, other famous Jin merchants, have not come forward, did not notice that it is definitely impossible, which means that there is a contradiction between them, rash introduction, maybe, will offend the current family.

Perhaps, when the textile factory produces certain benefits, take out one or two to test the water, Yang Yuanzhao was thinking in his heart, Da Han came in, and quietly said a few words in Yang Yuanzhao's ear, and then, Yang Yuanzhao's face was happy, and he said loudly: "Where is he?" ”

"It's been arranged in the reception room!" Da Han said respectfully.

With a word of approval, Yang Yuanzhao did not stop, and came to the reception room in three steps and two steps, there was a young man in ordinary clothes, but the edge in his bones made people recognize him at a glance, he was a soldier.

"Brother Jin Ming, why are you here all of a sudden!"

"I just went to Xi'an on business, and I came by the way!" Wang Jinming said with a smile.

When he came back, he selected forty or fifty people from the recruited peasants who were strong and obedient, and sent them to Feng Yuxiang.

After returning from Shanghai, Yang Yuanzhao not only asked Harpy to cash in the arms, all of them were brand new rifles, but also distributed at least 100 base ammunition, enough for a unit to train for several years, even if it was a high-intensity battle, it could fight several times.

After Feng Yuxiang returned to Beijing, he relied on money to open the way, obtained the position of the camp management belt, and also had a good location, the northeast is sparsely populated, in Shanxi, has been going to the west exit, to the northeast, is to break through the east of the country, the land is sparsely populated, there are many horse bandits and raccoon dogs, so that the bandits in the northeast are simply as many as a cow's hair, Beiyang enters the northeast, all the teams are not stationed in one place, they are dispersed separately, and the money opens the way, Feng Yuxiang not only can take away about 100 backbones, but also has a regular army of 200 people over there, which is not the old foundation of Beiyang, but it is much stronger than all of them from scratch.

100 old Beiyang soldiers, let Feng Yuxiang go to the northeast, firmly grasp the situation, in one fell swoop became the battalion's undisputed pipe belt.

After Yang Yuanzhao stabilized Feng Yuxiang, he asked the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce to contact Feng Yuxiang, during which he sent a batch of materials and finances, and the Yang family also set up an office in the local area, with the local garrison, the Yang family also liked this kind of contact very much, in a sense, there was one more channel for purchase, and there was also one more channel for sales, with the protection of soldiers, and few people did not have long eyes.

The old foundation of 300 people, there is also a battalion of a full set of munitions, plus the young men sent by Baotou, as well as the progressive young people sent by the alliance, the quota of a reorganized battalion will come out immediately, and when the personnel are enough for 500, Feng Yuxiang immediately began the training, and in three months, he trained some soldiers of the old era into elite divisions, and also turned the peasants of this era into soldiers.

Among them, Yang Yuanzhao sent three arms and two property, Feng Yuxiang's no worries, the army quickly formed combat effectiveness, before, had been around the garrison Ma Fei was cleared, except for a few, unpredictable bandits, most of the fixed stronghold of bandits, one by one by him pulled out, not only obtained a lot of property, the most important thing is that a lot of soldiers, bandits are the best transformation soldiers, the premise is not to fight for evil, has not lost all conscience.

The continuous suppression of bandits not only increased the number of soldiers, but also made a large number of peasants willing to join the army after the bandits were exterminated, and the prestige gained in the local area made a large number of peasants willing to join the army, with enough money as a backing, plus the number of weapons was sufficient, Feng Yuxiang opened the door and kept recruiting, and now the total number of soldiers is not a full number of 550 people plus 200 people, but 1534 people, which is twice as much as the full number.

The reason for this is still due to Yang Yuanzhao, on the train, and in the long talk in Shanghai, Yang Yuanzhao specifically mentioned the important role of the gun, an arm, a force, if there is no gun, it is simply a source of water, a tree without roots, and it is easy to be affected by other strengths, so he built Feng Yuxiang to train soldiers in batches under the circumstances of choice, and rotate the soldiers with the militia and the people, so that the cost is a little larger, but once enough soldiers are obtained, it will be easier to expand in the future.

Continuous rotation, now, Feng Yuxiang has more than 1,500 soldiers, with the establishment of one of his battalions, almost doubled, in this case, there are more or less problems, the northeast is vast and sparsely populated, but the number of troops is limited, even if it is mixed with civilians and soldiers, it is more and more difficult to control.

Wang Jinming turned to Baotou this time, on the one hand, he hadn't seen Yang Yuanzhao for a long time, so he came to take a look, and on the other hand, he also wanted to ask what to do!

Hearing Wang Jinming say this, Yang Yuanzhao smiled and said, "Don't think about it, send it over, I am short of people here!" ”

"Send it over, Baotou here, there is no establishment here, let them be a worker for you!" Wang Jinming belongs to one of the few people who know that Yang Yuanzhao is developing here, the cement factory surpasses Qixin to become the first, and the Yang family has 10 trucks of cement transported to the northeast, which has been used by him in the barracks, more than twice the usual barracks, with a double-layer brick structure, the warmth performance in winter is excellent, even if the soil kang is not burned in winter, the house can also enter people, unlike other rooms, as long as there is no soil kang, I am afraid that the dripping water will freeze. In addition to the cement plant, other projects are one after another, and this little brother is really a powerful person who does big business.

"Of course it's not a worker, it's a soldier, what kind of establishment do you want, first in the name of the factory protection team, you can follow this in the future, I will send a group of people over, and send it over after training, the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, plus the support of Jin merchants, next year, it will be absolutely no problem to mix a local militia group, or, go further, get the qualification of a new army."

"Can you really qualify for the New Army?" Wang Jinming's eyes lit up, a new army qualification, this is definitely a huge temptation, nationwide, there are so many new troops, but those who can be qualified to apply, that is, the governors, but there is no one in Shanxi, this is an opportunity, besides, Baotou here, Yang Yuanzhao is definitely trustworthy, and it is a good choice to put the personnel here.
