Everything is ready, 3,000 workers temporarily act as construction workers, and the construction materials pulled out of the base are continuously piled up a few miles away from the base through a truck, if it is not for the lack of production capacity of the base, more trucks can be produced, and there is also a fear of being seen This kind of thing that is ahead of the times, so it is transported at night.

Under the command of the genetic people, the workers built factories, fences, dormitories, canteens and warehouses respectively, and Mr. Wu was still very generous on the land, setting aside a piece of wasteland of hundreds of acres. In less than ten days, the factory was already in shape, and as the machine was shipped, the gene people began to install and debug the machine and train the workers.

The cotton yarn factory was going very smoothly, and Lu Liang asked Lu Yi to sit there and arrange production in the base. Over time, the production capacity of the base has been expanded, and the number of mining vehicles has been increased to ten, temporarily meeting the current needs.

"Chief, at present, the base produces ten high-grade genetic people, who are responsible for the operation of the base and the operation of the cotton yarn factory; 100 Gene Man Sergeants, responsible for the defense of the base; There are 200 genetic workers, who are responsible for the operation of the entire base. There are 10 mining vehicles, which can collect 1,500 tons of seabed minerals per day, which is enough for the current needs. The weapons and equipment and military uniforms and other materials produced by the base have been equipped with the guard company, five steam engines and 500 textile machines have also been produced, and in terms of cotton yarn materials, the base provides cotton extracted and synthesized from seawater, and when the cotton yarn mill is put into operation, it will be transported there for processing. "The one who made the report was Gene Man No. 3, and Lu Liang named him Lu San. The role of the incubator of the steel base has already begun to be played, and with advanced technology, equipment and sufficient raw materials, the factories established by themselves outside will soon produce large quantities of manufactured goods.

The affairs of the factory are on the right track, so the affairs of the army have entered the scope of consideration of Lu Liang. He knew that there was such a thing as group training in this era, and the group training created Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and other feudal officials, and finally formed the freak of Beiyang warlords. Now Lü Liang also wants to use this name to build his own military force, but the name has been changed to the Escort Corps.

Haifeng has its own regimental training team, which is single-handedly arranged by the Wu family, and the leader of the regimental training is a nephew of the Wu family, less than 100 people, but everyone has a gun, but it is a backward rear-loading rifle, which is a step worse than Mauser 98. Lu Liang selected 100 young men from among the workers as the first batch of escort members, and conducted training according to the establishment of the infantry company. The training was carried out in secret, and Lu Liang didn't want others to see the training methods of the base, so ten genetic instructors were drawn out of the guard company to train the members of the escort team. Once loyalty is assured, guns are issued and shooting training is conducted.

Le Fei is a nearby villager, seventeen years old, with a family of five, guarding two acres of thin fields and struggling to survive. Originally, it was not unacceptable for the family to let Le Fei go to the city to eat, or go to Nanyang. Before he started, just in time for Master Wu to recruit workers, with the attitude of giving it a try, Le Fei signed up and followed the six people from the same village to work together to the cotton yarn factory, built a house for a few days, and posted a notice on the wall at the door to recruit the escort team, two silver dollars a month, food and housing, who wouldn't want such a good thing? They all rushed to sign up, and finally Le Fei was successfully admitted, and then packed up and came to the foot of a mountain. This is the wasteland that Lu Liang bought from Wu Shimin, and it is full of rubble and cannot be cultivated at all. In order to make up for the mistake of recruiting workers, Wu Shimin took the initiative to sell it to Lu Liang at a reduced price.

The simple walls and barracks in the camp were built, and as soon as they were cleaned up in the barracks, before they could greet the people around them, Le Fei heard a hurried whistle. Lu Liang stood at the front, looking at the team of his army.

"Assemble, assemble!"

"You are the first members of the escort team of the cotton mill, you are trained here, and everything you have belongs to me - Captain Lu Liang! Your wages are paid by me, and your food and food are mine. Do you understand? Announce the rules here, and if you can't stand it, you can leave now! There was no movement, and the instructor continued: "There are only three rules here, one, obey orders!" Second, obey orders! Three, still obey orders! Here you have to obey the orders of our instructors in everything, and if there is a violator, the salary will be deducted, and if you violate it three times, you will leave the convoy, understand? ”

"Understood." The sound of a sparse puller rang out.

"The voice is too quiet, and a hundred copper coins will be deducted for all! Answer again! ”

"Got it!" The voice shook the sky, it turned out that the money would be deducted, it turned out that the instructor's power was so big! In the future, we must be careful, not a single copper coin can be less! Le Fei Xindao.

"Now I announce the training plan, get up at 6 o'clock in the morning every day, cross the country for five kilometers, have breakfast at half past seven, train in a queue at eight o'clock, have lunch at 12 o'clock at noon, conduct tactical training in the afternoon, have dinner at six o'clock, study culture at night, and go to bed at nine o'clock!"

My obedient can't be idle for a minute, and three meals a day, this Captain Lu Liang is really rich, he has eaten twice a day since he was a child, and sometimes only one meal is thin. You also have to learn culture! God, God is not thin on me, I can finally learn culture, there is a cultural person in the same village, isn't it also a cultural person! It's nice to be here!

Le Fei's affection for this place only lasted for one day, and he felt the price of three meals a day and learning culture - standing in a queue! "Bang" kicked on Le Fei's leg, do you know what is in the queue? Le Fei really didn't know, but he didn't dare to talk back, for fear of deducting money! Turn left! "Bang" is another kick! The quilt should be folded neatly, flat square, side octagonal, flies go up to split, mosquitoes go up to slip! "What is a split?" "Bang" the question, first of all, "Report to the instructor!" "Yes, report to the instructor, what do you mean by split?" "Bang" Le Fei was kicked a word horse, "See, this is a split!" ”

Oh my God, the instructor is so ruthless, Le Fei feels that he can't hold on anymore, running and cross-country or something, it's okay to say, it's just that countless rules cost people's lives. Fortunately, I ate well to keep myself going, the food was really good, the rice was enough, there was a meal of meat a day, and a happy life began.

"Chief, news has come from the cotton mill that the first cotton cloth is about to come out."

"Let's go, let's see!"

After nearly a month of construction, the cotton yarn factory should be preliminarily completed, and the workers will enter their posts after training and start production under the guidance of genetic people. Before Lu Liang arrived at the factory, he heard a huge cheer from inside, and when he entered, he found Wu Shimin holding a cotton cloth with tears in his eyes.

Others can't understand Wu Shimin's feelings, how much he has suffered and how much he has lost in the process of dealing with foreign businessmen! It's all because I can't master the production process, I can only passively accept the price of foreigners, and now I finally have my own cotton cloth!

"Lu Liang, look at it, it's real cotton, not hand-spun cotton, not foreigners' cotton, it's cotton we weave by machine!" Lu Liang invited Wu Shimin to the office and poured the tea leaves, Wu Shimin took a sip before he recovered, and said with a smile: "Let Mr. Lu laugh, the old man was rude just now." ”

"Old man, happily the time is still behind, our cotton yarn factory was initially established, the workers are not skilled, the machine is not well run-in, there are too few skilled workers, and the machine is too small, the output of cotton cloth that can be produced is not very much. Only 500 looms have been installed, and only one steam engine is enough to ensure operation, and only 35,000 spindles. As far as I know, the scale of Hubei weaving layout, which was established a few years ago, is several times larger than ours. When I buy enough machines and set up night schools for the workers to train, then we will have a very high level of output. At that time, we will add more machines, expand production, and control the sales of cotton cloth in the whole of Guangdong. ”

Wu Shimin knew that the situation was difficult to achieve, but he was still excited by what Lu Liang said, and now he completely believed in Lu Liang, and the entire factory did not invest a penny, and left the land, which made him a little uneasy.

"Is it inappropriate to divide 55 into 5 percent? The decay is only out of the land, and it is a little inappropriate to account for half of the shares. ”

"If you say it's good, it won't be changed, the old man will just wait to count the money! By the way, old man, our factory needs a name, and please name it after Mr. Wu. ”

Wu Shimin hurriedly waved his hand, and in the end, the old man couldn't shirk it, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you call it Ziqiang Cotton Textile Factory?" ”
