In Baotou all over the main road, the patrol battalion and the militia recruitment notice is almost full, now Baotou, than before a lot of lively, although not as prosperous as the industrial zone, but because of a large number of workers and migrant workers to come, become much more prosperous, the first few villages, let more and more people live in, Baotou's urban range, also began to increase.

During this period of time, a factory plus a factory, a reclamation company, a flour mill, a brick factory, a cement factory, a highway company, and even something acidic and alkaline, in short, more and more novelties appeared in Baotou, especially recently, Baotou has a lot of foreigners.

More than 1,400 foreigners stationed, so that the people of Baotou, see a diorama, this is a real diorama, in Baotou, maybe in the season of leather purchase, will see one or two foreigners, some are Russians, some, simply foreign people, directly come to buy, but in most cases, come to buy compradors from all over the country, 1400 people, most of them are European and American, their hair is of all colors, red, yellow, brown, in short, there are hundreds of family members, This is a real foreign woman, which is a different scenery for the closed Baotou.

Almost every day, in front of the dormitory where foreigners live, a large number of people gather to watch the excitement. The reason why the excitement is called lively is more that I have never seen it, more than 1,000 foreigners, in the case of seeing too much, that is, one nose and two eyes, except for the difference in appearance, different speech, nothing else.

Foreigners except for the occasional street, speaking half-baked Chinese, communicating with Baotou people, the rest of the time, mostly stay in the factory, Young Master Yang built several new factories, thanks to these foreigners, this is the smooth operation, these old people in Baotou have spread all over, for the construction of industry, most of the factory Young Master Yang, in Baotou status is very high, even ordinary people, also know that after Young Master Yang came to Baotou, they lived a good life.

The influence caused by thousands of foreigners has just disappeared in Baotou, and another wave has set off again, Baotou actually began to recruit soldiers, militia regiments and patrol battalions, the militia recruited 1,000 people, the patrol battalion was 700 people, a total of 1,700 people.

The location of the recruitment is in the Baoken company, but the name is the Yellow River patrol battalion and the Baotou militia, followed by a series of treatment, to say, this treatment is good, but people's thinking has always been that good men are not soldiers, which is no exception in Baotou, almost a lot of people, a few soldiers have not been recruited for several days.

In the folk is a matter of opinion, after all, the leader is the Baoken company, is also the so-called Yang Young Master led, in the past six months, Baotou has undergone earth-shaking changes, all kinds of machinery factories, a certain process dù above, so that Baotou people make money easy, there are also dissatisfied, most of those tenants, although relying on the reclamation company, highway company, and other factories of the diversion, but only part of the solution, even if it is for work, it is impossible to solve all of them, the remaining small number of people, can only rely on the future, the continuous expansion of the factory, for the gradual increase in the use of personnel to solve.

Being a soldier, in a sense, is also a way, and Yang Yuanzhao's conditions for these soldiers are not bad, but the few sign-ups prove that people are still waiting and seeing, and even doubtful.

Can't force them to be soldiers, Liu Shu had no choice, so he had to find Yang Yuanzhao to solve it, for the recruitment received a cold reception, Yang Yuanzhao didn't expect that the recruitment of rich remuneration, the respondents should talk, you know, although the militia is not a formal army, the military salary is not high, only about 7 yuan per month, which is already beyond the standard of all militia groups, even if it is the leader of the militia group, in this era, it will not exceed 2 silver dollars.

In Yang Yuanzhao's expectation, the militia is divided into military salaries and in-kind, a sufficient amount of rice and noodles per month, and a little meat, which is almost worth 10 yuan, adding up to 17 yuan, these are all clearly listed items.

Liu Shu is a capable official, and he can manage the reclamation company and many of his companies in an orderly manner, which shows his ability, and there must be publicity in this regard, 17 yuan can't attract people, I'm afraid I still have concerns about being a soldier, after thinking for a while, he said casually: "Turn recruitment into recruitment!" ”

"Recruitment?" Liu Shu was stunned for a moment, and said in a hurry: "Yuan Zhao can't be said and untrustworthy, this must not be!" ”

It has been more than half a year since I came to this era, and it will be November soon, Yang Yuanzhao has an understanding of this era, in this era, the word credit is still very useful, especially for businessmen, a letter word, enough to make people climb to the peak from a poor and white, the same word, will also make the family rich and destitute, the word Xinyi, is definitely a long sword hanging on the head of every businessman, unless the result is too tempting, treacherous, very few.

"Of course, I recruit ordinary workers, and as for the army, I will choose from among the workers!" Yang Yuanzhao said casually.

Yang Yuanzhao's meaning is very clear, from a certain process, the soldiers transformed by workers are easier to enter the state, after all, these workers have been trained, queue training for two months, and then have been working, in cooperation and cooperation, far stronger than ordinary peasants, the most important thing is that many workers still barely know some commonly used Chinese characters.

This is in the factory, has been vigorously promoted, know 500 Chinese characters, you can receive 15 catties of white noodles per month, this regulation, from the first reclamation company, to the current cement factory, cotton textile factory, are the same, although the proportion is very low, many workers have given up, direct inducement is still very effective, most of the workers at least their own name, as well as commonly used simple Chinese characters, 50-100 is the norm, more than 500 also appeared, Now it is only recorded in Baotou, and there are already 2,500 people, which is really not low.

Such a character, in this era, can already be called an officer's preparation, you know, most of the low-level officers, have a certain management ability, can understand orders, by the way can draw maps, carry out military orders, then it is more perfect, these are all on the basis of reading and literacy, 50 basic Chinese characters, plus even guessing, to do this, it should be no problem.

When Liu Shu heard this, he frowned and said, "Pick among the workers? Isn't it even worse, most of the workers, their wages are more than 17! ”

"This doesn't matter, according to the original salary standard, the daily subsidy is still the same, by the way, after five years in the army, if you are qualified, you can retire, and the salary standard will be increased by one level!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly: "This amount of money can be withdrawn directly from me, without going through the accounts of the militia or the reclamation company!" ”

This sentence is clear, Liu Shu still has something to disagree with, perhaps, for most workers, being a soldier is still a difficult thing to decide, on the original basis, there is an additional subsidy of 10 yuan, or flour, rice, meat and the same subsidy, which is what every family needs, take it out casually, and you can also exchange it for cash, this temptation is great, not to mention retiring after 5 years, you can also increase your salary by one level, this is a pie in the sky that will not fall, Liu Shu can even foresee, How many people will be willing to join the army.

In fact, when Liu Shu announced the standard in many factories in Baotou, many people signed up, and it also affected the people who were still hesitant before, because Liu Shu gave full play to Yang Yuanzhao's order, even ordinary people, as long as it is 5 years later, qualified retired soldiers can become factory workers, which really shocked everyone.

The factories in Baotou were all established under the construction of Yang Yuanzhao, and how good the treatment of the workers is, this is something that every discerning person can see, so as long as there is a factory to recruit workers, no matter what they do, they will definitely be able to recruit them, and everyone who becomes a worker is treated well in all aspects, and a person's salary is absolutely no problem to feed a family.

Good men are not soldiers, this is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this era, especially in the old-style army, eating empty salaries, drinking soldiers' blood, in the army, officers do not treat soldiers as human beings, and they don't know how to die when the time comes. Therefore, when the recruitment of troops in Baotou began, even Liu Shu, the person in charge of the same Baoken company, recruited troops, based on the ideas in his heart, no one dared to come, because he was afraid that he would not be able to get the money and lose his life in vain.

But now it's different, with Yang Yuanzhao's endorsement, recruited directly from the factory, after being discharged from the army, raise a level of wages, ordinary people, can join the factory to work, factory workers' awareness of Yang Yuanzhao is much higher than that of ordinary farmers, half a year ago, what kind of days they lived, what kind of days are they living now, I didn't know that this militia was led by Yang Yuanzhao, but now I know, even the salary is counted, who doesn't know, not to mention the salary increase after 5 years, not to mention the 10 yuan monthly non-staple food subsidy, Just say thank you to Yang Yuanzhao, it's no problem to be this soldier.

Suddenly, there were many applicants, 1000 places, it was not enough at all, the news came to Yang Yuanzhao's side, Yang Yuanzhao didn't care, he waved his hand, and directly added 2000 places, one sheep is also driving, two sheep are also driving, three sheep are also driving, Feng Yuxiang's scale of 500 people, more than 1000 people have been trained, and the militia is even more loose, no one will come to investigate, how many people are in the militia group, just like that, most of the militia is not satisfied, as long as you are not blatant, 3000 people's militia, As long as you can afford it and be careful, it's no problem at all.

In this way, the quota of 3,000 people is also the best of the best, and other people, also in the enthusiasm of the workers, saw the key, and also signed up, and all of a sudden, the quota reached 4:1, and 12,000 people signed up.

Among them, Liu Shu also did some things, workers basically choose non-skilled workers, Baotou is now very thin, recruited skilled workers from other places, including apprentices who follow skilled workers, unless necessary, rarely determine people, and recruit some ordinary hard-working workers, in this way, among the 3,000 people, there are only 1,200 workers, and the rest are much stricter, from height, strength, and even flexibility, a few are literate people, so that it took three or four days, Only then did 3,000 people be selected, all of whom had reached a certain standard of strength and physical qualities.

The barracks, no longer need the original one, that barracks, even if the barracks are established in the future, at most more than 1,000 people will be stationed, which can be used as the headquarters of the militia group, a little elite force, plus the officer layer of the patrol battalion, will be stationed here, and in the vicinity, about 5 kilometers of the mountainside, found a piece of land, built a more large-scale barracks, as the general station of the militia regiment, civil engineering has been started, and the current militia is only basic training for the time being.

To tell the truth, 3,000 people, all of a sudden scared Wang Jinming, he didn't expect that Brother Yuan Zhao was a veteran of breaking the rules, the 1,000-person quota of the militia group suddenly expanded to 3,000 people, the 500-person patrol team, and the actual 700 soldiers, the personnel brought from the northeast, except for 100 people as the backbone of the militia and the basic non-commissioned officers for training, the rest were stuffed into the patrol team.

3,000 people, roughly a target standard, in terms of the number of soldiers under his command, Wang Jinming must be on the way, even more than Feng Yuxiang, but at this time, Wang Jinming has no way to think a lot, 3,000 people are in charge of everything, although it is said that the logistics work is all in charge of Baotou, whether it is guns and ammunition, or what clothes and bedding, and even personal belongings and toiletries, all are responsible for Baotou, but more than 3,000 people, it is simply a thousand things, if it is not for more than 100 people to help, There are also old subordinates who are ready to support, and I really can't deal with it.

Fortunately, he reluctantly trained people together and began the initial training, Wang Jinming is old in the army, starting from being a soldier in his teens, he has participated in dozens of battles and battles, and has almost risen to his current position.

These soldiers in Baotou, at a glance, are all new soldiers, they have never even touched the gun, he has seen too much of the clumsiness of the gun, he needs to train well, in order to be able to get rid of their original character, to be able to meet the standards of the current soldiers, it takes at least six or seven months of strict training, by the way, take them out to fight a few battles, see the blood.

But with the deepening of training, Wang Jinming found that it was really different, in ordinary training, some people accepted Cheng dù, far stronger than others, and soon, it was almost like a formal soldier, whether it was individual training or joint training, especially the latter, there was a look. asked who they were, and after knowing that they were workers, he immediately came to find Yang Yuanzhao, and the request was of course very simple, continue to call the workers over, such workers are born to be good embryos of soldiers, and they must be held in their hands.
