At Yingkou Wharf, after unloading all the machinery and equipment, the three cargo ships from Germany did not leave immediately. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In John's words, since the three freighters have arrived, they can't go back empty.

There is no doubt that John was waiting for the autumn harvest and returned to Germany with the grain from the Liaodong Army to deduct the equipment payment.

After knowing what the Germans were thinking, Yang Xingguo's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Zhou Zhongju to give the Germans the grain stored by the Japanese captured in Fengcheng.

Anyway, now that the autumn harvest is less than half a month away, food is no longer a problem for the Liaodong Army.

Rather than keeping the grain in reserve, it is better to deduct it from the Germans and store new grain when it is harvested.

After Yang Xingguo's order was issued, the hundreds of grain trucks that had just finished transporting equipment were busy again.

Carts full of grain continuously sent grain from Liaozhong to Yingkou Wharf and loaded onto German freighters.

At this moment, Yingkou Wharf woke up again, and Huang Xing, who came back from the south, arrived.

After following Huang Xing off the ship, although Mo Wenchang looked tired, he was still attracted by the three freighters docked at the dock.

Seeing the busy scene at the wharf, Mo Wenchang was shocked, and immediately sighed to Huang Xing beside him: "Director Huang, those ships are the most advanced cargo ships in Germany, and they are absolutely invisible to the general wharf. Our Liaodong Army still has business with the Germans? ”

"I don't know the specifics, after all, I've been away for a month. However, judging from the pier, it should be true! ”

As more and more people began to disembark, the already lively dock suddenly poured in thousands of people, and it became even more lively.

Facing the busy dock in front of them, many people had a shocked and excited expression on their faces.

Because, the picture in front of them has already told them that Liaodong is not as desolate as they imagined. Here, they may be able to achieve their dreams and revenge.

Especially when they saw the golden waves formed by patches of ripe rice outside the city, and the corn groves formed by patches of corn stalks, and they could hardly see the edges. They are even more certain that this is the best place for them to take revenge.

As for the merchants who came to investigate, they saw the scene of the imminent harvest outside the city, and then saw the slightly deserted streets inside the city. They knew right away. Huang Xing told them the truth.

With little to no commercial base, as long as there is a bumper harvest of grain outside the city, there will be plenty of business opportunities here.

Whoever is bold and the first to come to Liaodong will be the first to be the first in this cup. It is also the biggest benefit.

When Huang Xing led everyone into Yingkou County, Yang Xingguo, who got the news, also happened to rush to Yingkou.

Seeing the dense crowd of people behind Huang Xing, Yang Xingguo knew that with the addition of these talents, the Liao Dongjun would definitely enter a new stage of rapid development.

In addition to being happy, he did not forget the hero of this incident, and immediately walked up to Huang Xing, and said with emotion: "Director Huang, thank you for your hard work...... There are these talents that you brought back. Our strength will definitely get stronger and stronger. ”

"It can only be said that I am fortunate not to be dishonored......" Huang Xing replied with a humble face.

As he spoke, Huang Xing handed a few rosters to Yang Xingguo.

Taking advantage of the time when Yang Xingguo was looking through the roster, Huang Xing briefly introduced: "Commander, on this trip to Hubei, we have dug up a total of 309 technicians from the Hanyang Gun Factory and Iron Factory, including the families of some technicians, a total of 672 people......

"Originally, we could only dig up 200 technicians, but after listening to the various conditions we offered, the 200 technicians who exchanged their weapons from Zhang Zhidong took the initiative to go back and persuade their colleagues, and in the end there were 109 more people......

"In addition, we have recruited 184 talents from all walks of life in Hubei. Including their families, a total of 499 people. ”

"The last hundred or so people are businessmen and business representatives who came to Liaodong with me and are preparing to inspect Liaodong......"

After quickly scanning the roster in his hand, the smile on Yang Xingguo's face became even stronger.

Turning his head to Xiao Wenchang, the director of the arsenal, he asked, "Director Xiao." If you go to Hubei, you will be asked to check Director Huang. I want to know what the level of these mechanics is and whether they can operate the relevant equipment independently. ”

"No problem......" Xiao Wenchang replied without thinking.

"There are more than 300 technicians, all of whom are more than two years old."

"Good ......," Yang Xingguo replied with a satisfied face.

"More than 300 technicians, one person with two apprentices. That's thousands...... Director Xiao, if I hand over all these 1,000 people to you, can you guarantee that the ironworks, steelworks, power plants, gunpowder factories, and your arsenal are all running......

Xiao Wenchang thought for a while and replied: "I still need three thousand ordinary workers to ensure that all the factories are fully moving......," Yang Xingguo nodded and affirmed: "Yes, I will recruit ordinary workers for you in our controlled area now, and the salary will be distributed according to half of the salary of ordinary soldiers, three taels of silver per month, there should be many young and strong people rushing to become workers......

Xiao Wenchang still didn't answer immediately, and after thinking about it, he continued: "Commander, even if there are people and all the equipment in the factory is running, I don't dare to guarantee the production capacity in the first few months. Whether it is a mechanic or an ordinary worker, it takes time to adapt to the new equipment, and the new equipment also needs time to run in before it can be produced at full power. “

Yang Xingguo thought about it and replied: "Yes, the equipment installation and running-in, including the adaptation of the technician, I will give you three months......"

At this time, Xiao Wenchang continued: "One last question? ”

"Raw materials, from the beginning of equipment running-in, several major factories need a lot of raw materials, especially iron ore and coal mines. The commander must ensure an adequate supply of all raw materials so that I can guarantee the capacity of these factories......"

Yang Xingguo also didn't hesitate for too long before replying: "I can guarantee you this...... During the equipment run-in period, the logistics department of the headquarters will provide you with raw materials. After the official start of production, there will be merchants who will directly supply you with various raw materials......"

After speaking, Yang Xingguo continued: "Now, all the equipment of several factories has been put in place, and the Germans have also sent several engineers to assist us in installing the equipment. ”

"You take your men back to the arsenal immediately, and while you arrange these new mechanics and their families, you arm the equipment and ......"

"When I return to the headquarters, I will ask the deputy commander to send you another 10,000 taels of silver, which will be specially used to arrange for these newly arrived mechanics and their families."

"Three months, I hope that after three months, these factories you manage will be profitable, not only will they no longer need the financial resources of the headquarters, but they will also be able to provide funds to the headquarters......"

As soon as Xiao Wenchang left, more than 1,000 people immediately lost more than half.

At this time, Yang Xingguo had already shifted his attention to Huang Xing.

"Director Huang, you have worked hard during this time. However, now is not the time to rest. My idea is that you take the talents you have recruited from Hubei back to the headquarters and decide on their distribution with the deputy commander according to their ability and willingness. After 10 days, everyone has their own position......"

"As for me, I am responsible for accompanying those dozens of businessmen and representatives, and finding a way to keep them all so that they are willing to come to me to invest in Liaodong......"

After Huang Xing left with the people, there were only more than fifty businessmen and representatives headed by a middle-aged man left in front of Yang Xingguo.

After Yang Xingguo walked in front of everyone, he said very cheerfully: "Hello everyone, I am Yang Xingguo, commander of the Liaodong Army, and in the next few days, I will accompany you to inspect Liaodong." Let everyone know that our Director Huang did not deceive everyone, there are business opportunities everywhere in Liaodong, as long as everyone is willing to come, you can earn Dabi Dabi's silver."

The appearance of Yang Xingguo has already made these people very excited, after all, Yang Xingguo has been rumored to be a god in the Guannai, and he is completely a national hero.

And in front of him, Yang Xingguo not only appeared, but also accompanied everyone to inspect in the next few days, which made dozens of people even more excited. (To be continued.) )
