"Everyone, work hard, I bought five pigs and killed them for everyone at dinner." Standing on the construction site, Yan Guang shouted loudly to the workers on the construction site.

"Thank you, boss."

"The boss is a good person!"

Yan Guang's decision was quickly met with an enthusiastic response from the workers, because this was the thirtieth pig that Yan Guang had killed, so the workers working on the construction site were not afraid of Yan Guang deceiving them.

"The salary is paid on time, the food is managed, and the pig is killed every once in a while, such a boss is really hard to find..."

"yes..."

Yan Guang just smiled at the lamentation of the workers on the construction site and turned around to talk to a few newly recruited accountants about going to Shanghai to buy machinery.

Making money, minimizing costs, and maximizing benefits is the way of thinking of businessmen, but although Yan Guang's current identity is a businessman, the ultimate goal is revolution, if he wantonly exploits workers for the sake of such a little profit, then even if he takes the lead in conquering Chengdu after the Wuchang Uprising, I am afraid that he will be bombarded by the revolutionaries and the party members in Chengdu and Chongqing.

On the other hand, if just a little money can be exchanged for good reviews, then even if it can only bring a little effect to his revolution, it is worth it, and in this era, the gentry with good reviews can easily move even the government, which is of great benefit to him before the revolution in the late Qing Dynasty.

"After the factory is built, you two will go to Shanghai with me, so that we can buy the machine back and start work." As he spoke, he said to a few other accountants. "A few of you are in charge of recruitment, remember, only the literate are admitted, don't you understand?" This is something that Yan Guang takes for granted...

"Boss..."One of the accountants was a little embarrassed. There are very few women who are literate, and even fewer who can read and work out, can this condition be changed? ”

"This..."Yan Guang patted his head, forgetting that there are few female surnames who study in this era. In this way, the literate female workers will have nine yuan a month, and the illiterate will have six yuan a month, so let's just recruit how many you can recruit. ”

"Understood." The accountant nodded, although he felt that the salary was a bit too high, but since the money belonged to the boss, then the boss was willing to order as much as he wanted, anyway, even if he lost it, it had nothing to do with him.

Yan Guang nodded with satisfaction. "When Zhang Jian built a factory in Nantong, the salary given to those female workers was only one or two dimes per day, and even five yuan a month may not be able to earn five yuan. The salary of six yuan is only a little worse than the level of the new army, and the salary of nine yuan is a cut above the new army, so Yan Guang is not worried about not being able to recruit people.

"That's right." Yan Guang turned his head towards the last two accountants. "You go and contact the cotton supplier, let them get ready first, and when we come back from Shanghai, we will send the cotton over."

"Is it too early?" Looking at the factory that had not yet been built, the accountant hesitated.

"It's okay, it's better than buying it now."

"Understood." Anyway, now that the factory is almost built, and the salary has been paid to him for two months in advance, he is not afraid of Yan Guang playing with him.

――――――――――

A week later, the last factory was built. After Yan Guang dismissed most of the workers, he left only ten young workers who were literate and able-bodied, and each of them had five yuan a month to work as security guards.

Although this salary is a little lower than that of the soldiers of the New Army, they do not have to train every day like the soldiers of the New Army, and there is no danger, so these ten young people stayed.

Their task is also very simple, that is, to guard the currently empty factory, not to let people tear down the doors and windows, and wait until Yan Guang returns from Shanghai with the machine.

The next day, when everything was ready, Yan Guang took two accountants and two of the security guards who could use guns from Chengdu to Yucheng by horse-drawn carriage, and then booked tickets for the passenger ferry at the dock in Yucheng, intending to go to Wuhan by water.

When he saw the passenger ship at the dock in Yucheng, the first thing Yan Guang did was to find a place to vomit for a while.

At this time, Yan Guang felt that he was really related to the ship, and when he crossed into this world, it was because of the shipwreck, the original owner of the body hung up, and after five months of recuperation, in order to make money, he took a passenger ferry across the Atlantic, and after a few days, he bought stocks and had to take a boat to cross the Atlantic, and then he had to cross the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco back to China...

After returning to China, because of the thief's heart but not the courage of the thief, he did not dare to talk about life with those technical workers who were both virtuous and artistic, and as a result, he had to take a boat to Wuhan without recuperating for a few days, and then take a boat from Wuhan to Yucheng.

Now that the land has been bought, the formalities have been completed, and the factory has been built, I have to take a thousand-mile long march from Chongqing as the starting point...

Seeing the boss vomiting there, the two accountants and the two security guards who were acting as bodyguards were startled, thinking that the boss had some kind of illness to do this, but they didn't know that their boss was just allergic to boats.

After boarding the ship, the two accountants and two bodyguards enjoyed the scenery outside, while Yan Guang was lying in the cabin, and Yan Guang was not interested in the scenery at all.

It took four or five days for the passenger ship to arrive in Wuhan.

"It's still the same crowded as before..."Although he had just left Wuhan not long ago, Yan Guang still let out such a feeling.

I bought a ticket to Shanghai in Wuhan, and after learning that there was a ship the next day, Yan Guang took four people to the hotel to book a room, intending to rest and recuperate.

By the afternoon of the next day, Yan Guang and the other four had eaten something and boarded a passenger ship bound for Shanghai. When boarding the passenger ship, Yan Guang found that the passenger ship seemed to be the one he took when he came to Wuhan from Shanghai.

"What a coincidence..."Just as Yan Guang stood there and sighed, he didn't know that there were actually only a few passenger ships on the Yangtze River during this period, so even if he happened to catch up, it was nothing.

This passenger ferry is better than the passenger ** who came to Wuhan from Chongqing, so Yan Guang booked a six-person room, and also booked the vacant bed, after all, he had to be careful with more than half of his property.

Although there were very few pirates in those days, and there were even fewer bandits, and the two shell guns he wore were not vegetarians, it seemed to him that it was okay to be careful.

And it turns out that there is nothing wrong with being careful...
