In the blink of an eye, it was May, and the political turmoil caused by the Song case slowly subsided as Zhou Wei analyzed. Many people even have the illusion that peace has come, but Wang Zhenyu doesn't see it that way, he is still vigorously preparing for war.

After the completion of the living quarters, a small community and a small area, after simple renovation, the Anjiang Administration Bureau in charge of Chen Quzhen began to divide the houses according to the units. For the first time, young male and female workers lived in such a high house, looking east and west, tossing and turning all night without falling asleep, and the next day they all went to work with red eyes.

The cement of the Jingzhou Cement Factory found a big buyer, a Danish foreign firm in Shanghai, but the person who asked for the goods was an American named Wellington, which is also an old customer of Liu Hongsheng.

Wellington is also very practical, friendship is friendship, business is business. The requirements are all on the contract, written clearly in black and white.

Cement 170 kg a barrel for $1 per barrel (so cheap?) The silver dollar is only 2.2 yuan. The total annual demand is 5 million barrels, or $5 million. In addition, the waterway from Jingzhou to Shanghai must be responsible for the Xiangxi Development Company, after all, the situation in China is very unstable now, and foreigners are not in harmony with you!

Fortunately, Wang Zhenyu can't help it, he has a shipping company himself, the scale is very large, in the Yangtze River waterway, I dare not say that it is the first, that is also the top three. In addition, this shipping company is flying the British flag, in other words, even Yuan Shikai would not dare to send troops to intercept the ship. So the problem of shipping is not a problem, and Wellington has also expressed its willingness to pay for this part of the freight.

This is almost 850,000 tons of cement, and the rest can be sold in China, and the Luyang plant can almost be launched, after all, there are more places that need cement in the future, and 2 million tons is really nothing.

However, at the time of settlement, Wang Zhenyu insisted on paying in US dollars, joking, the price of silver would fall at any time, and the US dollar would be hard currency at that time. Wellington is also very happy, because now that the First World War has not broken out, the international settlement is still in pounds, and he is of course happy that someone is willing to accept US dollars, and he can save a lot of fees. For such a haode supplier, Wellington waved his pen, and the contract was signed for three years, and the payment was made every three months. Pagoda cement is going to the international market, and Cheng Zufu also bowed to the north for this reason: "Your Excellency, you have a spirit in the sky, and you should be gratified." (Wang Zhenyu sweats, Lao Tzu sells cement, and closes Zhang Zhidong for half a dime) Anjiang Yarn Factory had some problems, and Rong Desheng personally came to Ye Zuwen and Wang Zhenyu: "Dashuai, my eldest brother has sent a telegram, and the scale of our 150,000 spindles in this yarn factory is almost the same, and it can't be expanded." ”

Wang Zhenyu was surprised and asked, "Weishenme?" ”

Rong Desheng was not impatient, and analyzed one by one: "The eldest brother said that the cotton he can receive can only ensure this yield, and now Nantong is also running a yarn factory, and it is indeed difficult to expand the source of raw materials." And if we blindly expand to 480,000 ingots according to the original jihua, once the supply of raw materials is not available, it will be tens of thousands of mouths waiting to eat, and Dashuai has to guard against it. ”

Wang Zhenyu shook his head and said: "It is still according to the original Jihua to build a factory, raw materials are indeed a big problem, but I have entrusted Huabi Bank to come forward and purchase cotton from overseas for us, basically in the next ten years, this channel will be very stable." ”

Rong Desheng was shocked: "Dashuai can't, now continue to press jihua, at the latest next January will be fully put into production, this imported cotton is not cheap, shipping costs, tariffs are almost calculated, the cost of producing a box will be doubled to 130 yuan, but the price of our box of yarn in the market is only sold to 156 yuan, this profit is easy to go wrong, and then there are so many people who consume this." Dashuai, think twice. ”

These businessmen know that if they calculate the small accounts in front of them, as soon as the war breaks out in the future, won't Lao Tzu's market come out? Don't say 156 yuan a box, 260 yuan a box can be sold, what are you afraid of?

However, we have to convince this small businessman at the moment, otherwise the Rong brothers really think that they will be in trouble if they leave, Wang Zhenyu can only patiently explain: "Don't worry, these goods will be sold to Europe, so don't worry about the market." ”

Hearing such an explanation, although Rong Desheng was skeptical, he didn't know how to persuade again, so he could only sigh and keep silent.

Wang Zhenyu continued: "Lao Rong, there is another problem, 4,800 new machines, you will recruit 6,000 workers, it's too picky." Don't think I don't know, the treatment you give to workers is only eight yuan a month, which is not as good as Lao Tzu's recruits. Since the labor cost is so low, you should recruit more, anyway, it is a female worker, come to three shifts, and then people will stop for maintenance, and stop for four days a month for maintenance, right? 10,000 people, you have to recruit me full, or you will give me this treatment for fifteen yuan. ”

Rong Desheng was so angry that he ran away: "Yes, Dashuai, you are the major shareholder, and you all listen to you, but do you know how many people there are in Hongjiang, 30,000, my Dashuai, where do you let me recruit 10,000 people, and now I have only recruited 2,500 people." ”

Wang Zhenyu patted his head: "Oh, I was negligent and forgot to mention it to you, just next door, over there in Xuefeng Mountain, there are more laborers in Baoqing Mansion, go and recruit it." There are many people and few places, if you have food and shelter, there are still eight oceans a month, and it is estimated that it will be full soon. ”

Rong Desheng heard it, there is such a place?

In the midsummer of the second year of the Republic of China, Xuefeng Mountain, from Baoqing Mansion to the west of Hunan Province, thousands of Baoqing people gathered in groups with the dream of life, and hiked over Xuefeng Mountain to Anjiang to beg for a living, and all this was because of Wang Zhenyu's casual words......

June 1, International Children's Day, is not yet at this time. But it doesn't matter, looking at Ye Ziwen's belly for seven months, Wang Zhenyu decided to take Ye Ziwen to the living area to participate in the completion of the Anjiang Cinema, a cinema with ten three-story buildings and a total of more than 300 seats.

Mother Chen didn't want her daughter-in-law to be bumpy, saying that she was afraid that the accident would affect the child. Wang Zhenyu smiled and said It doesn't matter, I'm doing prenatal education.

Prenatal? What kind of thing is this, Chen was stunned for a moment, and his son took his daughter-in-law to the car and left.

The first film to be shown today is the four short films "The Queen Mother of the West", "Unfortunate Child", "Wapen Grievance" and "Stealing Roast Chicken" shot by Asia Film and Drama Company. For Wang Zhenyu, who is accustomed to watching blockbusters in later generations, this is all about something, but Ye Ziwen and other military and political dignitaries watch it with relish, it seems that the cultural life of this era is indeed too poor.

After returning home, Ye Ziwen also danced and talked to Chen about the fun of movies. Looking at his carefree wife, Wang Zhenyu's chest was full of happiness, and at the same time, he also secretly made up his mind that no matter what happened in the future, he would work hard to protect this happy home, even if it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

On June 20, the Xiangxi Auditorium was completed, the 20-meter-high Western-style auditorium is divided into three floors, of which the first and second floors are the auditorium, and the third floor is the auditorium. This Gothic building gives people a very solemn feeling, and the first time it was used was the first graduation ceremony of the Xiangxi Army Military Academy. As the boss of these officers, Wang Zhenyu came to the Xiangxi Auditorium to speak: "Young officers, I am proud and proud to have students and subordinates like you. From today onwards, you will be a qualified officer of the Xiangxi garrison, and whether you can be called excellent depends on your service performance. I will always pay attention to your growth and progress, and I hope that you will live up to the knowledge and opportunities that this military school has given you. In my opinion, if you want the country to be rich and the people strong, we must rely on you, you idealistic, moral, and ambitious young officers to fight for the motherland's tomorrow, I believe that you will be able to shoulder the mission entrusted to you by this history, and I firmly believe that you will use your wisdom and courage to lay a splendid Chinese ...... for this country, this nation, this era and your own destiny."

The applause lasted for a long time, and the officers were successfully instigated, and wealth and status were always the greatest motivation to tempt people to keep moving forward. As for the glorious mission of liberating all mankind, I will leave it to those who are truly revolutionaries.

Throughout July, Wang Zhenyu traveled to all units of the Xiangxi garrison, one by one to understand their existing problems and solve their difficulties.

Seeing that the commanders who were extremely respected by the officers were so amiable to sit and eat with their own little soldiers, and even go out to exercise and train together, the soldiers suddenly began to believe the words of those cadres of the Fuxing Society, and the soldiers of the great marshal are the most glorious existence in this society.

The first batch of 24 members of the Fuxing Society organized by Chen Shao, including his younger brothers Li Buyi and Zeng Qi, entered the Guards Brigade and various units of the recruit base to serve as instructors, giving lessons to the soldiers and brainwashing them, and propagating among them the great commander and the mythical commander.

On July 1, Wang Zhenyu personally met with two activists, Li Buyun and Zeng Qi. Li Buwei is a native of Changsha, Hunan, 26 years old this year, originally Jihua went to Japan to study, but Chen Shao persuaded him to Anjiang with a letter and applied for the military academy. Because he and Chen Shao are brothers, this time the Fuxing Society was formed, and he was naturally the first to be pulled on the thief ship.

Zeng Qi is a native of Longchang, Sichuan, 20 years old this year, he went to Anjiang by accident, because someone stole his wallet, he was going to go to Shanghai and he could only stop in Anjiang. I applied for the officer school for the sake of life, and it was really a strange fate.

And Li Buyun and Zeng Qi touted the handsome man in front of them among the soldiers every day during this time, and those who didn't know really thought that they were very familiar with Wang Dashuai. In fact, this is really the first time to meet, and the result of brainwashing for a long time is unknown, but it is a fact that they have successfully brainwashed themselves, and they were actually excited to tears when they saw Wang Zhenyu.

Wang Zhenyu sweated, don't cry, I'm not the third generation of Jin, not tear gas.

Wang Zhenyu talked to them very kindly about his own ideas, which are actually the set of National Socialism, but eliminated some of the radical things. Wang Zhenyu called this great nationalism and said that it still needs to be improved.

Then it was naturally Zeng Qi, and Li Buyi stood up and said that he must fight for this great nationalism for life. After the reception was over, Wang Zhenyu suddenly made a decision: "In this way, I plan to set up a nationalism research society in the military academy, Xiao Zeng and Xiao Li will go back to the military academy and cooperate with Chen Shao to get this research society up for me, and something must come out." ”

This is also inspiration, not long ago, Liu Guojun advocated becoming an industrial college, but this name is not well-known, and it cannot attract capable people. Wang Zhenyu immediately made a decision to establish the Xiangxi Industrial Research Institute, but as a result, Hou Debang and others were poached from Shanghai. This incident also made Wang Zhenyu realize that there is still a certain reason for the existence of the title party.
