"Are you a family?" The soldier in charge of recruiting the people looked up at Erwazi and the others, and from the few words he had learned before, he found that these people were all familiar, and they seemed to be close relatives, so the soldier asked tentatively.

"Yes, we are all one family." The second baby's uncle took the women of the family to recruit female workers to help, so the second uncle Xu Qing, who was the second in age, took the lead, and Xu Qing nodded a little resignedly, for fear that they would cancel some of their places because of this.

"That's right, because there may not be enough people to manage you in the future, so you need to nominate one person in your family to be responsible for leading them to work, and our person in charge will connect with the elected person for work, if you do a good job, you may get some rewards, as for what the reward is, I don't know what the reward is." Said the recruited soldier.

No way, manpower is currently the most scarce, especially those technical personnel. Wang Sirui has even recruited all those experienced masons, and as for the talents of architectural engineering, there is not one.

Who would have believed that it would take so much knowledge to build a house? Generally, relatives and friends come to help build a house in the house, so why is it so troublesome?

"Oh, so? Then let my eldest brother take the lead, he will take the woman of our family to the female worker, and I will let him come later. When Xu Qing heard this explanation, he instantly relieved his heart, and hurriedly handed over the job to his eldest brother, besides, no one else in this family is qualified to lead others except his eldest brother.

"You tell me when your eldest brother signed up, and I'll just mark it directly, and there will be a notice later." The soldier shook his head, there are so many people now, how can they have time to let him come over one by one to confirm?

Subsequently, Xu Qing told the soldier the time when the boss Xu Qiang signed up, and soon, another soldier found a copy from the thick roster, and after a while, he found Xu Qiang's name on it, and after confirming that the registered address was the same, he crossed out Xu Qiang's name on the roster, and then wrote Xu Qiang's name on the new roster, and marked it at the back.

"Okay, three days later, in the morning, we will gather here, you need to bring your own change of clothes, dishes and chopsticks for eating, and you don't need to bring anything else." After the soldier admonished, he called out to the next applicant.

When Xu Qing and the others came out of the crowd, it didn't take long for the eldest brother Xu Qiang to lead a dozen or so women in the family to walk back from the recruitment of female workers, and there were even more people talking and laughing in the group, with a thick surprise on their faces at the same time, it seems that they can't believe that there will be such a good thing until now?

"Big brother, it's been done here, how are you doing over there?" Xu Qing immediately greeted Xu Qiang and the others, and asked with a relaxed expression.

Anyway, they have already signed up successfully, and as for the female workers, it doesn't matter if they can succeed, it doesn't matter if they can't, anyway, the income in the family has really increased.

"It's the name that is reported, but the salary is a little low." Xu Qiang shook his head, in his opinion, although this treatment will definitely be a little lower than that of men, but this is too much worse, on average, it is good to be able to earn ten cents a day per person.

"They are mainly recruiting some female celebrity workers, it doesn't sound complicated, mainly to make clothes, shoes and hats or something, make a shirt and shoes for ten cents each, a pair of pants and hats for five cents each, when to do what, this is what they ask, we can't choose." Xu Qiang continued.

"Big brother, in fact, this is not bad, these mothers-in-law are also idle, they have nothing to do at home and can subsidize the family, less is nothing, let's do more work." Xu Qing explained.

This salary is indeed not high, and it can even be described as very low, a person to make a top, even if it is a skilled woman, it takes at least a day, and sometimes it will be wrong, as for the shoes, it is even more troublesome, but also to make the soles first, and then fine-grained, the family generally makes shoes in winter, and the time used is a whole winter, to make the shoes of everyone in the family, which shows how low the efficiency is.

"Also, it's better to have work than to be idle, let's go, let's go over there and wait for Xiaosi." Xu Qiang nodded, and his heart was a little more comfortable.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that after the official start of work, they found out that these women in the family made more money than their men.

Even in the back, even the children under the age of the family were pulled by the women to do some needlework, help them with their hands or something, and improve their efficiency as much as possible.

They thought that these women were going to get a piece of cloth and then go straight home to make clothes, and they had to cut the samples and everything by themselves.

But the facts after that showed them that they were overthinking.

The factories of the Qiao family and the Qiu family have fully absorbed the advanced production knowledge in Wang Sirui's mind, and now they use the two modes of assembly line and outsourcing processing.

That is, the factory is only responsible for cutting and forming the cloth, and according to the production mode of the assembly line, a piece of cloth is put on, who cuts which piece, and how much cloth is cut.

The women, who are tasked with sewing the last piece of semi-finished product, will take it home and sew it together.

Even if it is purely handmade, without the help of industrial machines such as sewing machines, a skilled female worker can make at least two tops in one morning, and if you add the work at night, it is not a problem to make six or seven pieces a day.

Of course, this requires training, and the start date of the female workers is relatively late, because the factory in the city has not yet been built, the machinery and equipment are not in place, and more importantly, even the raw materials have not yet been shipped to the capital.

According to the ideal estimate, it would be good to be able to start work in a month. As for the machines, it will take at least three months to arrive, but it is clear that it is uncertain whether this batch will be the first to arrive.

Therefore, they must be fully prepared, so, with the help of Wang Sirui, they chose another relatively backward way to produce.

…………

At night, inside the barracks, it has become Wang Sirui's lair, and he has led troops into the capital several times, and Wang Sirui always chooses to live here.

Qiao Zhiyong, Qiu Shopkeeper, Wang Shuqi and Wu Yang sat on several chairs in Wang Sirui's office, and they came to report on the progress of today's day's work.

"The recruitment of female workers can be stopped for the time being, more than 700 people are enough. We must ensure their interests, and we can't just blindly pursue others for the sake of speed, and wait until this batch of military uniforms is completed, and then consider whether to expand the recruitment. Wang Sirui responded.

According to his prediction, a person can make at least three shirts, or five pants, and one pair of shoes a day. In this way, it will only take a month or two to make the military uniform he needs at present.

And by that time, these female workers will also be considered skilled workers, and it is also a good choice for them to continue to make military uniforms, although this is somewhat unfair to those who have not signed up, but what about absolute fairness in this world?

Since they didn't sign up in the first place, they should suffer the consequences of not signing up.

"I've already had the mold made, in order to speed up the production, can I train them in advance?" Qiao Zhiyong asked.

"It's up to you to decide." Wang Sirui didn't do everything himself, he just needed to grasp the general direction, and then looked at the other two and asked, "What about the two of you?" ”

"There are about 4,000 people who have signed up, and according to today's trend, I'm afraid more people will sign up tomorrow, and we only have less than 1,000 places left." Wu Yang said.

"We don't need to spend more money to do the same thing, you have to control the emotions of the people." Wang Sirui hesitated, but finally decided to go according to the plan.

According to Wang Sirui's prediction, a large industrial park will be established in the north of the city, which contains 30 independent factories of all sizes, and the plan for the construction of these factories is 3,000 people, and of the remaining 2,000 people, 1,000 of them will be used to repair the road, 500 people will be used for the transportation team, and 500 people will work in the brick and tile factory.

The demand for materials will be huge, and in order to save costs, they will have to fire their own bricks and tiles.

Fortunately, the Qiao family and the Qiu family were huge, and they easily found the production technology of the brick and tile factory and provided it to Wang Sirui for free.

"I've recruited about 2,000 recruits today, and tomorrow I plan to send more people to speed up the recruitment of new recruits and complete our plan as soon as possible." Wang Shuqi gave an overview of today's recruitment.

This time, their recruitment plan is 10,000 new soldiers, plus the more than 3,000 recruits previously recruited, these recruits will be added to the existing army to strengthen the overall strength of the Han army.

Although it will take a long time to fully become an army, for now, they can afford to wait. And even if someone rebels, with the current strength of more than 40,000 troops, it will still be able to block it for a while.

Wang Sirui nodded, and agreed with Wang Shuqi's approach, with Wang Sirui's current strength, he could recruit more recruits.

However, in this way, the combat effectiveness of the troops will inevitably be lost, and some of the gains will outweigh the losses, and a lot of money will be wasted.

The army is very expensive, and with the current more than 40,000 soldiers, it costs 200,000 taels of silver every month just for military salaries, plus food, drink, equipment, etc., 300,000 taels of silver a month is very easy, and it will be gone in the blink of an eye.

Of course, Wang Sirui didn't think about the reserve, but he needed to solve Beiyang before thinking about it. (To be continued.) )
