After a period of sailing, the freighter finally sailed into the wharf in Yucheng.

Along the way, it can be said that the wind and waves were calm, and nothing happened, although there are reasons why the Manchu political axe and the British joined forces to fight the water bandits, but more importantly, except for Ruan Qi, an outlaw who was forced to be in a hurry, no water bandits had ever thought of moving a large ship on the Yangtze River, and now this group of water bandits was even more affected by the pond fish because of Ruan Qi. This means that Ruan Qi is dead, otherwise even if he is still alive, these water bandits who have been implicated by him will go to him to greet him cordially...

"Thank you!" When the freighter docked at the dock, Yan Guang thanked the captain on deck.

"You're welcome, it's nothing." The captain smiled and shook his head. "The rest of the journey is up to you, and my boat can't run on the shore."

"That's, if you can run on the shore, then it's troublesome..."Yan Guang also chuckled.

“？”

"Nothing..."

While the two of them were talking there, the first mate walked over.

"Captain, Yan, our men have already started unloading."

"Hmm." The captain nodded, then looked at his watch and turned to Yan Guangdao. "Yan, it's almost time for lunch, should we eat first?"

"That's fine, by the way, don't eat bread, I'll take you to the restaurant below to eat..."Yan Guang proposed, he was almost tired of eating bread on the boat during this time, and now that he finally got ashore, he naturally wanted to change his taste.

Although the captain and first mate are standard English, and bread has always been a delicacy, but since they have come to China, they naturally want to taste the legendary Sichuan cuisine, so they also agreed to Yan Guang's proposal.

After leaving Wang Er and a few of them to watch, Yan Guang left the dock with the captain and first mate.

Although Yan Guang moved around Chengdu after coming to Sichuan, he also lived in Yucheng for a few days, so he quickly took the captain and first mate to a restaurant where he had been. Unlike Yan Guang, who is already a little accustomed to Sichuan cuisine, the captain and first mate, who have never eaten Sichuan cuisine, have suffered a lot, and in the end they have to ask for some not so spicy meals to eat.

After the three of them have finished eating and drinking, it is estimated that it will not be long before they can have another lunch.

"Boss, they've almost finished unloading the machine, and it's estimated that it will be all unloaded in two hours."

Yan Guang nodded. "The next step is to transport the machine to Chengdu..."

Three hours later, all the machines on the freighter were finally removed from the ship. Yan Guang, on the other hand, rented a warehouse large enough at the dock and put all the machines in it.

The next day, the freighter left Yucheng after adding water and coal, and Yan Guang found a carriage and horse shop in Yucheng and signed a contract with the carriage and horse dealer.

After signing the contract, Yan Guang kept Wang Er and the two accountants. "Tomorrow you will go with the people of the carriage and horse, and I will take the carriage back to Chengdu first."

"Got it, boss." Wang Er and the two accountants nodded.

Although the contact these days is not very long, Yan Guang already trusts Wang Er more, so he is relieved to let him do it. Good marksmanship, good kung fu, and good people, if you want to talk about shortcomings, I'm afraid it's illiterate.

"When I go back to Chengdu, I'm looking for a teacher for him..."

Thinking so, Yan Guang took two bodyguards into the carriage, and after a whole day's journey, the three of them finally arrived in Chengdu.

After returning to the factory that was already his own, Yan Guang looked at the factory that he thought was very big but now felt a little small. "Well, I don't know if it's a miscalculation..."

Ten hectares of land is naturally big and boundless, but in order to build the factory earlier, it was only a small piece of land built on ten hectares of land, not much, but according to Yan Guang's calculations, it was enough to put down a machine of 100,000 silver dollars.

It's just that Yan Guang didn't expect that just because he killed those water bandits on the Yichang ship, he actually got three times the expected number. Of course, this is definitely a good thing, but at the moment it seems that the factory is absolutely not enough.

"Are you going to bring in those workers and then do the work?" At this time, after learning the news of Yan Guang's return, several accountants and security guards who were in charge of staying behind had already rushed out of the gate to greet him.

After talking to a few people, Yan Guang led them into the somewhat rudimentary office.

"How's the workers hiring?" After sitting in his place, Yan Guang asked the accountant who was in charge of recruitment.

"We have already recruited a total of 373 female workers, and we can come to work directly after we notify them." The accountant hesitated. "But only seventeen literate female workers you want me to recruit have been recruited, and all the rest are illiterate..."

"That's right," Yan Guang rubbed his temples. This is also something that can't be helped, after all, there are too few literate women in this era, forget it, seventeen is seventeen, it's better than not one at all..."Speaking of this, Yan Guang remembered those machines again, according to the current number of female workers, those machines will definitely not be able to open all of them, and even one-fifth of them can be driven is already very good. It seems that only a part of the machines can be sealed first, and then the more than 300 women workers will be recruiting new female workers.

But in this way, the problem of the venue is solved.

With that, Yan Guang turned his head to the accountant in charge of contacting the cotton supplier. "What about cotton?"

"If it's all ready, just notify the supplier and the cotton will be delivered immediately." The accountant hurriedly replied.

Yan Guang then turned his gaze to several security guards. "You should still have brothers who know each other, right?"

The security guards were a little puzzled, but nodded anyway.

"Then when you go back, ask if there is anyone willing to come to the factory as a security guard, the monthly salary is the same as yours is five oceans, but this time only ten people are recruited..."

And in the future, the scale of the factory will still be expanded, and I am afraid that it will be the scale of thousands of people at that time, and the security team of these twenty people will also be expanded to fifty or even one hundred people.

After ordering everything, Yan Guang entered the side room in the office with a tired body.

It is said to be a partial room, but in fact, it will be Yan Guang's bedroom for a period of time in the future, with a bed with a sofa and a desk. Although it is relatively as simple as Yan Guang's office, Yan Guang can't pay much attention to it in this special period.

Just a few days later, the convoy from Yucheng finally arrived in Chengdu, and when they came to the factory gate, it even caused a series of onlookers.

Of course, the convoy did not only attract onlookers from the people, but also the government of Chengdu...
