The increase in factories and the management of personnel made the previous system outdated, and in order to manage more effectively, the factories under the name of Lu Liang were integrated into two groups - Ziqiang Light Industry Group and Ziqiang Heavy Industry Group. The light industry group includes all light industry enterprises such as cotton yarn mills and flour mills, all of which adopt the enterprise name of "self-improvement", vertical management, and all the middle and high-level are served by gene people, and there are currently more than 50,000 workers. The heavy industry group needs more workers, 20,000 have already arrived, and training is underway, but the most urgent one is the cement plant.

The cement base needed for the construction of the plant has been in short supply, and now the road problem is on the table again. Rainwater has made dirt roads impassable, and the movement of people and the transportation of materials and goods have made narrow roads very congested, and roads have become a major constraint on development. The construction of the railway will not be carried out until the steel plant is put into operation, and it is too late to build concrete roads.

The steel base provides unprecedented convenience, as long as the personnel can keep up, a large number of factories can start, but the construction of the factory, the commissioning of the machine, the training of personnel all take time, the construction of the cement plant is completed, and the installation and commissioning of the machine is in full swing. Time is running out, and a large number of workers have already begun to carry out the pre-repair work of the road. Most of the routes are carried out along the original road, which can save the construction time to the greatest extent, otherwise the route planning, the purchase of land along the road, and the coordination of relocation can last for a long time.

Huizhou has become a whirlpool that attracts workers, and a large number of laborers have spontaneously run to this side, and the lucrative treatment has spread throughout Guangdong and not far away in Fujian, Jiangxi and other places. Coupled with the recruitment team, more than 100,000 workers worked on roads, factories and other places in less than a month. Fortunately, factories such as cotton mills generated a lot of profits, and a lot of grain was harvested from the land, which was enough to feed these workers.

The first batch of cement was produced, and it was immediately used on the leveled road, and the sand and gravel needed for the construction of the road could not be provided by the base alone, and Lvliang issued an investment announcement, and the local squires spontaneously set up a number of collection yards to provide enough raw materials for road construction. This simple concrete road could not bear much load, but it was enough for this era, and the goods were transported by horse-drawn carriages, and the carrying capacity was very small.

The construction is in full swing, the road from Haifeng to Huizhou and then to Guangzhou is the first to be built, Wu Shimin contacted the prefect of Huizhou and issued a document to repair the road in the name of the government, so that the government does not spend a penny to get political achievements in vain, or the gray road, which is rare in the Qing Dynasty, that is, it can only be seen in a big city like Shanghai, and look, we also have it.

"It's time to start!" Early in the morning, rag-clad workers emerged from the tents next to the road construction site, and after hearing the foreman's shout, they gathered in groups to receive their morning food. A half-sized boy was holding a broken bowl and munching on rice.

"I said Xianjiang, you kid give me a slow meal, starve to death!" A young man named Xianjiang pulled out the rice in the bowl in a few bites, looked up and said to the middle-aged man with a wrinkled face: "Uncle, let's eat rice every day?" ”

"It's in the morning, there's another meal at noon, there's another meal after work in the afternoon, tsk, the meal in the evening is meaty, you kid follow my uncle and I out to work is a blessing, in my hometown, that is, a big family only three meals a day, it's better to eat well here!"

Xianjiang's surname is Wang, in his hometown, I heard that the village's Wang Lao Er works in Huizhou, and he mixes well, he mails silver dollars to his home every month, and the family is very envious, so he drove Xianjiang who has nothing to do all day long, Wang Lao Er is Xianjiang's uncle, after introduction, I didn't expect people to really accept it, and his uncle is a group, this is the first day of work.

"Xianjiang, when you are working, you are sharp, do you see those people? They are overseers, but they don't beat people, but if they cheat and cheat, they will definitely be discovered, and when the time comes, the deduction of wages will be light, and they will be kicked out if they commit three crimes in a row. ”

"I know, uncle, don't worry, I have the strength, if it weren't for the lack of land at home, I wouldn't be wandering around all day." Xianjiang nodded, he couldn't be lazy for the sake of those three meals of white rice.

The construction site that stretches for more than ten miles is full of laborers carrying tools, Wang Laoer's group is responsible for digging the drainage ditches on both sides, the road surface has been leveled, compacted with a large roller, I heard that this is not good, waiting for the ash to be mixed with sand and gravel, and the ash road is built. Wang Lao Er has never heard of this kind of thing, and he has seen a lot of knowledge in the past two months of work, and many words are the first time he has heard of them.

Xianjiang was soft and tender, and at first he used his strength to exert his strength, but slowly his stamina was insufficient, and he bent over and worked hard to plow the land, for fear that he would be fined by the overseer if there was a problem. He cherishes this hard-won job very much, and if he can also send money home, it will be a great honor!

"Hey, boy!" Xianjiang heard the voice in his ears, raised his head to look, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, it turned out to be an overseer wearing dark green clothes! Is he not satisfied with his performance and wants to deduct money?

"I, I" Xianjiang trembled his lips and couldn't speak, he was too nervous, and he hadn't seen anything in the world.

"This master, this kid just came out to do it, and he is not skilled, don't worry, I'll clean him up when I go back, please raise your noble hand!" Wang Lao Er hurriedly came over to plead, an old face was full of flattering smiles, if his nephew was fined on the first day of work, where would he put his face when he returned to his hometown!

"Wang Lao Er, I know you, I was the supervisor of your group during the construction of the flour mill plant, right?"

"Yes, yes, sir, you still recognize me!"

This overseer is a genetic person, and the organization of tens of thousands of laborers is all under the responsibility of genetic people, and hundreds of genetic managers walk on the construction site.

"Wang Er, don't worry, I just want to chat with this little brother and see what scares you." Wang Lao Er laughed twice, and the gene man turned his head to Xianjiang and said, "Little brother, what's your name?" It's not an easy job, isn't it? ”

Xianjiang was still a little afraid of life, Wang Lao Er patted him on the head, and Xianjiang replied: "Master, my name is Wang Xianjiang, this work is no more tiring than the farm work at home, I just started to be fierce, don't worry, I will ease it after a while." ”

Lu Kai handed Xianjiang a piece of synthetic food, which was produced by the base and provided to genetic people for consumption, and the taste was much stronger than the ordinary one. Wang Lao Er knew this kind of packaging, and he had eaten it for a few days when he first came, and he couldn't forget the taste for the rest of his life, so he hurriedly signaled Xianjiang to take it. Looking at Lu Kai, who got up and walked away, Wang Lao Er whispered to Xianjiang: "You kid is blessed, even the overseer is kind to you, hurry up and taste it, and work immediately after eating!" People are good to us, and we can't be ungrateful! Xianjiang nodded vigorously, this was the first friendliness he had gained since entering society, and it was extremely precious.

With the commissioning of the cement plant, the construction of the road became faster and faster, and by September the road had been extended to a distance of 100 kilometers from the city of Guangzhou. There is a lot of rain at this time, which is not suitable for road construction, otherwise the progress of the project can be accelerated. With more and more workers in the factories and construction sites, plus tenants working on the land, a total of more than 150,000 people entered Lü Liang's sphere of influence, and these people were all under contract, so to speak, Lü Liang controlled their life and death. Of course, Lu Liang will never spoil these people, but will take these people as his foundation. Soldiers, workers, and peasants all undergo intermittent cultural studies, and are grouped and managed according to the rules of the army, so to speak, and they are used as reserves. Lü Liang's goal is to create an orderly, rigorous, and industrious race of his own people, making them disciplined, obedient, and team spirit.

This task is an important part of the rise of the nation, and its difficulty is no less than the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is even much higher. Thousands of years of feudal history have made this nation rotten in its bones, all rotten and useless things, Lu Liang believes that the nations of this world have advantages and inferiorities, and the best nation is undoubtedly the German nation, so the template for transformation is the German nation. If you want to build this kind of national character, you must know those decadent things from the bones, and spiritual transformation is the most difficult.
