Chapter 110: A Little Change
"Reward Articles of Association?"
For Yan Shao, that is, the Double Dragon card still has some value, and it is better not to talk about what kind of hereditary fourth-class advisor and so on.
After all, no matter what, that Ssangyong brand is also a limited edition, and it can be regarded as an antique or something in a hundred years, in case one day future generations lose all the family business, it can still be sold for money. But what kind of fourth-class advisor? In a few years, the Qing Dynasty will be gone, and even if he has children, who will he find hereditary?
But then again, this "Reward Company Charter" is also a good thing for Yan Shao, after all, according to the above regulations, after investing more than eight million, Yan Shao has been able to get the top product to wearββββββ you must know that the Anhui Governor Chengxun in front of him is only a second-grade official, and his grade is one level lower than him.
Of course, this is only in name, after all, people are also the kind with real power, governing a province, and he, in addition to his head, has only one position as a first-class adviser to the Ministry of Commerce.
"I can't say that from now on, I will still call Mr. an adult..."After saying the "Articles of Association of the Reward Company", Chengxun smiled and arched his hand towards Yan Shao.
"What are you talking about..."
After some greetings, Yan Shao came out of the governor's yamen, and Chengxun had already promised to apply to Lu Shang, and strive to help Yan Shao apply for this head product as soon as possible.
In any case, this is also the top grade after all, one grade higher than the governor, and it can even be tied with the governor of Liangjiang. Even if he doesn't have real power, at least in front of ordinary sesame petty officials, this head product is still very effective.
And Yan Shao also reciprocated the favor. said that as long as Chengxun got this thing done, there would be some benefits afterwards.

After leaving the governor's yamen, Yan Shao did not stop in Anqing. Instead, they returned to Wuhu by boat. There's still a lot of work to do for him, but it's not the time to stay here.
However, when he left, he was not the only one on the passenger ship, but also about 300 female workers, which also made the passenger ship seem crowded.
"No way..."Huang Hao, who was in charge of this matter, smiled bitterly. This time, the shortage of factory workers is too great, but the factory, which has only more than 6,000 people, is almost 30,000 people shortage. Although the recruitment in Wuhu is going smoothly, there are only more than 100,000 people in Wuhu after all, unless all the women in Wuhu are arrested in the factory. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to meet the requirements of the factory, and we can only go to a few surrounding cities to try to recruit some, fortunately, our factory has a good reputation after the reform, so there are many female workers who apply for it. Otherwise, the problem will be really difficult to solve..."
Truly. There are more than 100,000 people in Wuhu, excluding the elderly and children who can't work, it is estimated that there are not many suitable women, and it is impossible for these women to all go to the factory to work, so Wuhu can only provide more than 10,000 laborers at most, and the rest can only go to Nanjing, Anqing and other big cities and some countryside to find.
If it weren't for the fact that after the reform, the reputation of Wuhu Textile Factory was quite good, I am afraid that the human aspect would be a really big problem for Yan Shao.
"yes," he said, looking at the women who were all piled up on the deck. Yan Shao also smiled bitterly, he was really afraid that the ship would sink because there were too many people on board. Fortunately, it was not until the ship sailed to Wuhu. There were no accidents, otherwise Yan Shao could only taste the third shipwreck after coming to this world, no, it was a shipwreck.
"However, I don't know how Elaline is now, everything should be going well..."Thinking of Elaline, Yan Shao also missed a little in his heart.
At this time, the cruise ship that Elano was on had already arrived in the Indian Ocean.
Because of her beautiful demeanor, Eleno attracted a lot of attention on the cruise, and some single men also came over to invite her to dinner or something, but in the end, these guys were rejected by Tang Li and others like fighting cocks, and even if a few could cross the line of fire, they were all politely rejected by Eleanor.
Even if she has left China, it does not mean that Eleno can be idle, at least not yet.
In the cabin, Elaline was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, translating a manuscript that Yan Shao had just finished coding before leaving. In fact, it was her first job and her job.
Some time ago, because she was busy with the company's affairs, Yan Shao's coding efficiency was seriously reduced, and even her translation efficiency also declined, of course, this also gave her more time to do other things, such as clothing, and then go to the garden to go shopping...
But just because she's idle doesn't mean it's the same on Tharris's side.
In fact, because of the reduced efficiency of codewords, Taris has sent telegrams to protest more than once. If Elaline hadn't returned to Marseille this time without a manuscript, one can imagine how ugly Tharris's face would have become.
Although Elano is not afraid of Tarys, he is the uncle who has taken care of her for many years, which makes it impossible for her to have a little free even on the cruise...
"I'm finally done with today's work..."Stretching out, Elainor, who had just finished translating more than 3,000 words, breathed a sigh of relief.
After neatly arranging the manuscript of the translated book, she also remembered Yan Shao, who was far away in China. "I don't know how that guy is doing now, it's probably the same as before, he's been pestering Carter all the time...", a hint of vinegar appeared in Elano's tone.
In a way, she guessed that it wasn't bad at all...
It's just that after stroking the earrings on the earrings with her hand, she was a little happy in her heart...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
After Elino left, the original Wuhu textile factory was renamed the first textile factory, 80,000 spindles and 2,000 looms have been put into use, which can basically meet the demand for cotton textiles in Wuhu and Anqing, and 8,000 female workers have also made the textile factory much more lively.
In addition, more than 20,000 spindles of Dachun Yarn Mill and several other Japanese-funded cotton mills in China have also dismantled their machines and sent them to Wuhu.
The Japanese side is also stepping up, but because of the distance and some emotional resistance, there are still some problems with speed. However, Yan Shao didn't care, after all, it was almost impossible to open all these machines in a short period of time, and it would be possible to save some warehouse space by delivering them late.
The recruitment of female workers is also very smooth, because of Yan Shao's good reputation, more than 10,000 people were recruited from Wuhu, Anqing, Nanjing and other places in just half a month.
With the experience, these women workers do not need to be trained by British technicians, but can be trained by the textile mills themselves, which also reduces a lot of trouble.
Of course, in addition to these, there are also quite a few troubles.
For example, the ash needed to build a factory.
More than 330,000 spindles and matching machinery and equipment are not a small number, but the area of the plant is quite terrifying. Coupled with the future flour mills, garment mills and safety razor mills, the ash required is no longer what the original ash mills can supply.
In the absence of a choice, Yan Shao could only buy some from foreign firms in Shanghai.
In addition, the cultivation base on the Jianghuai Plain has also begun to be cultivated.
Because of the bad times, landless peasants were everywhere, and recruitment was much smoother than the recruitment of female workers. It's just that winter is not far away at this time, and cotton can only be planted in April and May, so the problem of cotton in a short period of time still needs to be solved through outsourcing.
In fact, Yan Shao has already begun to consider whether to buy some fine staple cotton (upland cotton) from the United States, after all, Nantong's cotton production is limited, and it can no longer meet the terrifying demand of the Wuhu textile factory after counting the original Dasheng Yarn Factory.
In addition to being busy with these things, Yan Shao also sent a telegram to the Lihe Foreign Company in Shanghai, ordering 1,100 Type 1904 6.8mm Mauser rifles from the Foreign Company.
These are intended for the upcoming expansion of the patrol and guard teams, in addition to the expansion of the factory's existing security team. However, compared to the patrol team, they only have some batons to use.
For Lihe & Co., the more than 1,000 rifles are also a lot of business, plus there has been cooperation before. Therefore, after a little consideration, the newly arrived manager of the foreign bank agreed to this business.
After sending out the telegram, Yan Shao originally thought that he would have to wait at least a month or two before the ordered rifles could be delivered. What he didn't expect was that it didn't take long for him to wait for the telegram from Lihe Foreign Company.
In fact, it will be so soon, and it has a lot to do with himself.
When he ordered those rifles from the Lihe Foreign Company, he gave a lot of inspiration to the Lihe Foreign Company at that time. If this rifle is so suitable for the yellow race, why not promote it in China?
At this time, coupled with Chengxun's propaganda in Beijing and Zhangzhidong in Hubei, many people suddenly became interested in this new rifle.
Of course, due to the problem of funds, there is not a single governor who actually buys this rifle. However, in the private sector, there are many sporadic buyers who go to Lihe and foreign companies to buy, so there are a lot of stocks in Lihe foreign companies.
On the other hand, there were also some commanders of the new army or patrol battalions who bought some for their own guards at their own expense, and after receiving the recommendation of these people, the Qing government also began to consider copying this rifle.
Although the matter has not yet been determined, the imitation arsenal has been identified as the Guangdong Arsenal, the Hubei Hanyang Arsenal and the Sichuan Arsenal.
This can be regarded as a small change after Yan Shao came to this world...
