In mid-September, Zhang Shusheng finally finished his work and returned to Lishuping with more than a dozen people, including Zou Shuming and his wife, among whom there were even two down-and-out foreigners who were picked up in the tavern.

After Zhang Shusheng took out a photo of standing in front of Xiaoqingshan Machinery Factory and a few foreigners, and after promising a high salary, the two drunkards who were already extremely curious about Lishuping handed in their resignations the next day and ran away.

In addition, during this trip to Kunming, he paid more attention to two things. The first is that the strength needs to be strengthened, and the second is that the money is not enough.

Why can the gangsters be so arrogant, because they have guns. Why can't they be arrogant when they meet themselves? Because their fists are bigger. But what if you encounter a larger scale of bandits, or even Tang Jiyao? Can you still be invincible?

It was necessary to expand the militia again, and one particularly important thing was to contact Kenneth, who was far away in the United States, and asked him to find a way to purchase a batch of strategic reserve weapons, including 20 Maxim heavy machine guns, 10 German-made or French-made mortars, two 75mm German-made or American-made mountain guns, and supporting bullets and shells.

The First World War became more and more fierce, and the procurement of weapons could only go through Kenneth or the group of Bund merchants, and even the German Shidelmann had temporarily cut off contact. And like heavy machine guns and mortars, they cannot be produced by themselves for the time being, so they can only be bought first and then rebuilt.

As for the money, it depends on the existing means of making money and the next chemical supplies and penicillin.

As soon as he returned to the militia and settled down this batch of newly recruited talents, Zhang Shusheng hurriedly convened a meeting of the responsible persons in a small area. Wu Tiejun and Chen Jun of the militia group; Sun Changqing, Sun Laixi, Shusheng Company; Luo Feng of the Special Investigation Department of the People's League!

"Let's talk about the situation in the past ten days. This person has a concern, and after leaving for a few days, he is really not at ease. Zhang Shusheng banged on the table and looked at his henchmen.

"As for Shusheng, the military factory is preparing to achieve small-scale production later this month, and the main problem is that there is a serious shortage of skilled workers and qualified steel. It is estimated that at the beginning of the monthly output, the number of Huaxia rifles and 300 grenades can reach more than 200, and the defective rate is relatively high. The mine production arranged by the manager has been completed by the engineers led by Huffman engineers according to the drawings and the technical staff has completed the optimization design, and the trial production will start next month. Hydropower stations and garment factories are basically the same. The chemical plant is expected to produce the first batch of finished products next month, and the manager will have to personally review the products. ”

In Sun Changqing's mouth, the good news continues. Although the production is low, at the current level, the savings of a year may not be enough for a skirmish, but it is still stronger than before.

"In terms of machinery factories, several small motorcycles bought back from Shanghai last month, through the engine drawings and dismantling and comparison experiments provided by the manager, by foreign engineers, the two simplest motorcycle engines were trial-produced, both of which ended in failure. The main thing is that the steel required for the engine is not up to par. Next month, the steelmaking plant will be renovated for the surname. It is expected that there will be no breakthrough within the year. ”

What Sun Laixi said is also in Zhang Shusheng's estimation. Although the engines of motorcycles in this period were simpler, they could not be made in three days and two ends. The trial production is completely possible, and the militia has its own steel-making plant, its own thousand-ton hydraulic press, and its own machinery factory.

Wu Tiejun nodded, opened the file,

"Every training of the militia is carried out in accordance with the regulations, and the training of live ammunition shooting has been strengthened. The main additional task is the training of village guards in each village, and it is expected that in three months qualified personnel will be selected into the militia reserves.

A few days ago, the Dian army stationed in Huize sent a staff officer to present the award, which was known to the investigation department, and the relationship between the mayor of the town office was opened, and he and Chen Jun, the representative of the militia group, received the award. The regimental commander was awarded the rank of colonel of the Yunnan Army and Civilian Regiment. ”

Luo Feng: "That staff officer still wants to come to Xiaoqingshan to inspect it, but we naturally can't let him come according to the regiment commander's wishes." The mayor of the town has been completely bought, and he got drunk with a drink, and he can be regarded as blocking back. However, it is more difficult to say whether there will be a second time in the future. Hopefully the other party is just curious. ”

For these situations, in the final analysis, they are both issues of development and strength, Zhang Shusheng nodded, took out a copy of the company plan and the militia plan that he wrote when he went out, and read: "Now I announce, first, the most important work of Shusheng Company is to increase the output of chemical products and prepare for the construction of universities and hospitals. Second, the work of the militia is mainly based on training, and the existing reserve of the militia must be doubled, which must be completed within this year, so as to prepare for the expansion of the third battalion of the militia next year. ”

"Yes!" The people answered.

Zhang Shusheng left the two of them alone, and first met with Wu Tiejun alone, "You take out some of the militia soldiers, cooperate with Zou Shuming, who I brought back from Kunming, and build a new factory in the mountains near the river in the west according to the requirements above." Remember, build according to the requirements above. Half of the factory buildings are mainly in the belly of the mountain or underground structure, and half are mainly above-ground buildings near the river. ”

"Yes, to ensure that the task is completed according to the specifications. The boys of the militia were tired of digging too many canals, so this time let them dig holes. Wu Tiejun took the task and retreated, and when he saw Luo Feng nodding at him and walked in, he was also puzzled by what this former comrade-in-arms was now in charge of the investigation department.

"Captain, the preparations for the first phase of the orphanage are almost complete. During this time, they are mainly taught some rules and improve their discipline. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and all aspects of the regulations are in accordance with the strict standards set by the regiment commander. ”

"Well, this matter must be grasped quickly, and there can be no mercy."

"Yes."

"I'll give you another month, and next month I'll attend the official opening ceremony of the orphanage in person."

"Yes!"

――――――――――――――

It has been almost a month since Zou Shuming came to Lishuping, and he has never felt so fulfilled.

Zou Shuming and his wife went to a simple courtyard, and every morning, he got up and had breakfast, and his wife went to Xiaoqingshan Junior High School and Junior Technical School to take foreign language classes, and he went straight to the mountain pass.

The col is not a wasteland, but a factory. A factory consisting of two parts, above ground and underground.

The underground part of the factory is a research institute with a unique design concept to build a clean and safe underground laboratory.

The part separated by a few hundred meters above ground is the factory, and compared to the core functional area of the underground part, this part of the ground is only a post-processing plant near the river.

Throughout the morning, Zou Shuming did not leave the construction site for half a step, following the soldiers and workers in front and back, strictly supervising the construction of the factory. He knew very well that although Zhang Tuan could buy such a detailed and even perfect underground laboratory design plan, the actual construction work still had to be supervised by an expert.

"Tree Ming, Tree Ming ......"

In the distance, a fashionably dressed woman came to the hot construction site with a food box.

Zou Shuming took off the helmet on his head, only to see that it was his wife Hua Yuwei who came.

"Didn't you tell me not to bring me food? You're already tired, I'll just eat with the workers. Zou Shuming motioned to his wife to wait for a while before greeting the workers who were about to have lunch and walked over to his wife.

"Then how can you do it, you have to do mental work in the future, and you must not lose nutrition. This is the old black chicken soup, which I bought from the village market. Although this place is remote, there are many things. Hua Yuwei didn't think Zou Shuming was dirty at all, but wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. Look at you, you're still an international student who has just returned to China, and now you're tired. ”

"Mmmm, my wife's craftsmanship is good." Zou Shuming washed his hands, sat on the building stones piled up by the river and ate them deliciously, looking at the river flowing in front of him, he never felt such motivation, and couldn't help but sigh: "Wife, Zhang Shusheng is really a talent." Not only is he rich, but he is also willing to spend, he is not at all like those Chinese people who are short-sighted. You don't know, today the underground laboratory is doing some of the initial installation of permanent equipment, and I even saw two original American equipment that is exactly the same as the one in the American laboratory. Also, yesterday I saw a microscope at his place, which I have never seen in the United States with greater accuracy. Perhaps, it was made in Germany. ”

"In school, too, there is a passion for learning in the eyes of those children every day, and I have never seen a more diligent and studious child than them. Some children have a high fever of 38 degrees and are still clamoring to come to school. ”

"Wife, you grew up abroad, and you don't have the most personal feelings about the situation at home. Eat well, dress well, and go to school. These are things that those children didn't dare to think about before. Now there is a so-called 'wronged boss' who is willing to provide them with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "Zou Shuming is an understanding person, in his opinion, maybe Zhang Shusheng's practices, in addition to patriotism and strength, are still to lay a solid foundation for himself as a warlord, but no matter how you calculate it, he is also a loss...... "Lishuping, we are here to the right place, here, it is really a magical little place."

Hua Yuwei smiled bitterly: "Who said it wasn't." I even think that these students have a stronger discipline than the Germans, and no one talks to them in class, and there are not even a few people who are distracted. In them, I felt a terrible power. They study all the time, during recess, and many of them are immersed in reading. ”

"You're wrong, my wife, this is a desire to change your fate. The courses they have to learn and catch up with in a year are several times that of foreign children. After eating, Zou Shuming put the lunch box and sighed. No way, I met Vice Principal Yan of the technical school once, and he was right, the children are too far behind, and they can't keep up with the progress of their regular learning. ”

"yes, but I'm sure they'll catch up, not in a year, but in a few years." Hua Yuwei suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Shuming, when you came, Head Zhang asked you to go there in the afternoon, saying that he wanted to show you something." ”

"Well, I'll go in the afternoon. Maybe it's the scientific and technological materials that Captain Zhang bought back from abroad, and a laboratory is always going to be built here. ”

Looking back at the unfinished construction site, Zou Shuming had an unprecedented desire in his eyes, who would have thought that in such a poor place where birds don't, there would be so many factories and powerful militia groups. After reading the design drawings given by Zhang Shusheng, he knew that under his auspices, Zhang Shusheng would actually build China's first near-modern cell and biological laboratory in ten years.

As a scholar, Zou Shuming understands better than anyone what this means for China, which is weak in science and technology. At least we should try to do our job well, so that China will not have to stop at the starting line forever, at least in the field of cell and biology.

Hua Yuwei turned her head sideways, and just saw the look in her husband's eyes, and was slightly surprised in her heart, why her husband's eyes were so similar to the children in the classroom.

"See what?"

"Hope!"
