A large crowd of people is walking along the road with small bags, and from time to time, a few families will walk into the western-style buildings on the side, looking for their own room.

It's just that I don't know how many people poured in this time, even if dozens of people disappear every minute, the flow of people still has no tendency to subside. There was even a traffic jam on several roads with a large number of people, and a large group of people crowded there could not move, and if it weren't for the fact that at least hundreds of security guards were in charge of guiding them, I am afraid that there would have been a large-scale stampede.

"Huh, I don't know what the top of the road thinks, it's so difficult that I don't know if the road should come in batches..."

Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, a sturdy security guard gasped, and after speaking, he took two steps forward and helped a man in his 30s push a cart full of objects.

The guy next to him didn't say anything, but the expression of approval on his face was clear.

At this time, the axle of a cart in the flow of people suddenly broke, and the slow things piled up on it suddenly spilled on the ground.

Seeing this scene, I scolded in my heart 'bad luck', the two security guards and a few other companions just now hurriedly stepped forward to help the owner of the cart move things to the side of the road first—————— they must have no choice but to break the axle, and the first task now is not to let things block the road.

In fact, there are 'traffic jams' on other roads, simply because it happens from time to time.

A family in front of the dumped cart looked back after the cart was overturned, and the face of the sturdy man at the head suddenly showed a happy expression. After all, it was someone else who broke the car anyway, not him.

"Come, work harder, you'll be there a little ahead...", after saying to his daughter-in-law and daughter. The man pushed his arms forward hard.

Hearing the man's words, the middle-aged woman next to him and a 13 or 4-year-old girl also hurriedly exerted their strength from both sides of the cart, with the help of these two people, although the cart was also full of things, but the speed of implementation was much faster than just now.

After about a few minutes, the family of three finally stopped in front of a western-style building.

"It's right here..."Wiping the sweat from his face, the man said to the mother and daughter. This was the last time I came...", he pushed the cart in the direction of the door of the unit, and there were several carts parked there in the direction of the door. It looks like they do.

After lifting the canvas that was originally covering the cart, the man held something from above and led the mother and daughter to the direction of the second floor.

By the time they got to the door of a house. The door was open, and someone was already busy inside.

"These are the future neighbors, so you can be polite next...", whispering to the mother and daughter, the man nodded politely to the few people who were busy in the corridor. Those few people also hurriedly nodded back.

Walked to the doorway of a room. The man took out the key from his pocket and opened the room.

In front of them was a room of just over ten square meters, empty and almost empty except for the electric light overhead.

"Master, isn't this a little small..."Looking at the room in front of her, the middle-aged woman frowned slightly and said softly.

Seeing her mother say this, the girl also nodded hurriedly. "yes, Dad. That's just enough room for a bed, where do I live..."

After all, she is already a big girl in her 10s. It's impossible to sleep in the same bed with your parents anymore.

Hearing the words of the mother, the man scratched his head, in fact, he also felt that this house was a bit small, but after all, it was a place to live in the future. And the people in the company also said that as long as they didn't leave the company, then this house would be directly transferred to their name when they retired and become something that belonged to them, so the man had no choice but to speak. "It's a little smaller, but it's still good, at least it's not like when I lived in the village, where I was bitten by mosquitoes every night, and you see..." It's so bright, you don't need to light an oil lamp like you did in the village, and there are toilets and kitchens outside..."

Looking at the electric light overhead, the mother and daughter finally nodded with satisfaction/

But...

"Having said all that, where the hell am I sleeping..."

Glancing at the man who had not said the key point for a long time, the girl said helplessly.

Hearing his daughter ask, the man who couldn't hide it was a little embarrassed. "This—" he said, pointing in the direction of the small 'closet' inside the wall.

In the direction of the wall, there is a recessed one, which is mainly used to store some things, similar to a small warehouse. However, if you put a wooden board in it, you can barely sleep in one person, and if you squeeze it, you can sleep three of them.

Seeing that it would be her place of residence in the future, several black lines suddenly appeared on the girl's forehead.

Although the girl was tempted to turn around and leave, she stayed in the end because her father had made a condition that she could not refuse.

"Go to school..."

There are several schools in the city for the children of workers, and if girls live here, they will be able to go directly to school in the future, if not...

Of course, you can, but you need to walk for more than two hours first.

Because of this relationship, the girl had to succumb to the last thing.

This kind of thing is still happening in many parts of the city at the moment, of course, not everyone is similar here, after all, even if the son is counted, few families will be willing to 'get used to' their daughter.

However, no matter who you are, there is a great deal of resistance to this kind of room allocation.

After all, no matter how bad the living was in the past, they never lived in the closet, but in the end, they still gave in, because in this era, few children can disobey their parents.

————————————————————

As more and more families moved into the city, the population of the city soon surpassed that of the county seat not far away. Because many families have moved into the new city. The county seat has even become much more desolate, and even the people around Wuhu call this 'living area' a new city, and the original county seat an old city.

The completion of Wuhu New Town has attracted the attention of many people. Especially after some reporters entered the city to take pictures, it caused a sensation across the country.

If it was in the past, such a big move, even if Yan Shao 'made' a lot of 'friends' in the imperial court, I'm afraid there would be some trouble. After all, no matter how confused the Qing court was, it was not so confused as to allow others to build a private city.

But now because of the matter of the Baolu Movement, the Qing court has no time to take care of other things. What's more, Yan Shao is not easy to mess with. Today's Yushi Group has 70,000 or 80,000 employees, not counting some people who rely on the group to eat, such as some agricultural workers who are responsible for planting at the planting base. Due to the poor mobility, they are usually 'temporary workers', and if you count these people, the entire group will give at least more than 100,000 people. Millions can't stop it. And this is already equivalent to one-thirtieth of the population of Anhui.

If Yan Shao is moved at this juncture, the Qing court will only trigger another volcano in the end, so the Qing court can only pretend not to know about this matter. Of course, it was only temporary, and many people in the upper echelons of the Qing court felt that Yan Shao had crossed the line a little, and they also felt that it was time to knock down this businessman.

But now Sichuan and Huguang are making a lot of trouble, so these people plan to wait until the things over there are settled, just. I'm afraid they don't have this opportunity anymore...

After the time entered June, it was determined that the Qing court was iron-hearted this time. The Sichuan-Han Railway Company held an emergency meeting and decided to immediately organize the Baolu Comrades Association, which was announced on the second day of the meeting.

Sichuan Women's Baolu Comrades Association, Chongqing Baolu Comrades Association and various states, counties, townships, towns, streets, and groups Baolu Comrades Branches have been established one after another, with hundreds of thousands of members.

After the establishment of the Baolu Comrade Association, the president was Pu Dianjun and the vice president was Luo Lun. It is divided into four units, namely the General Affairs Unit, the Clerical Unit, the Communication Unit, and the Lobbying Unit. The conference temporarily motioned, and all the participants went to the governor's yamen to petition Wang Wenwen and asked for a substitute.

Listening to the shouts outside, Wang Wenwen smiled bitterly.

The matter is so big, of course it is impossible for him to continue to hide in the yamen.

"Go, prepare for me..."After putting down the manuscript in his hand, Wang Wenwen got up and said to the servant.

"But, sir, outside—" Hearing that Wang Wenwen was about to leave the court, the servant suddenly became a little worried. After all, there are so many people outside, if he really goes out, who knows what will happen to Lu Dao.

However, seeing the servant's appearance, Wang Wenwen just shook his head and said. "I'm the governor of Sichuan, I won't go out, should I let the imperial court appoint another governor to come and go for me..."

The situation in Sichuan is very special, such as Anhui and other provinces, basically there are both governors and governors, but Sichuan is only the governor and no governor. This means, of course, that there is no one to allocate power, but it also means that if something happens, the governor alone will have to bear it.

Hearing Wang Wenwen say this, the servant knew that he couldn't dissuade him, so he could only call a few maids to help Wang Wenwen change his clothes. Outside, after getting the news that Wang Wenwen was going out, the soldiers guarding the yamen hurriedly told Pu Dianjun and others who were waiting outside and asked them to wait a little.

In fact, even these soldiers are actually oriented to the Baolu Comrade Association, after all, they are all from Sichuan, and it is impossible not to pay attention to their families, and most importantly—————— many of them have also been forcibly apportioned stocks.

Now that the imperial court has taken over the railway, they have lost all their money like everyone else.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Wang Wenwen did not have much time to prepare, and in a few minutes, he simply put on the official uniform and walked out.

As a famous god in Anhui, Pu Dianjun of course couldn't have known Wang Wenwen, so when they saw Wang Wenwen coming out of the yamen, Pu Dianjun and they hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord Governor!"

Looking at Pu Dianjun and the others standing in front of him, Wang Wenwen sighed deeply and stopped what they were going to say next.

"I know the intention of your visit this time, please believe it. As long as it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, I will fight for it no matter what. ”

Hearing Wang Wenwen say this, Pu Dianjun and their hearts were also relieved.

To Wang Wenwen. Pu Dianjun still understands them, although he is not a particularly honest official, but he is never ambiguous in major matters, so he is quite prestigious in Sichuan.

In fact, Wang Wenwen did not lie to Pu Dianjun and them.

After persuading Pu Dianjun and them to retreat, Wang Wenwen immediately went to the court to strictly participate in the sheng to declare the loss of the right of way and the right of the country, and demanded that the crime of deceiving the king and misleading the country be punished. And please punish yourself for "equal crimes" and "thank you for your prosperity".

It's a pity that these are not what the Qing court wants, so when Wang Wenwen is looking forward to it. He only waited for the will of dismissal, and he was replaced by Zhao Erfeng.

After taking over Wang Wenwen's position, Zhao Erfeng also had a headache.

Because like Wang Wenwen, he also believes that 'it is extremely normal for the people of Sichuan to fight for the road'. And on the one hand, enlighten the people. On the one hand, he pleaded with the cabinet to "plan for a change of policy", and later impeached Sheng Xuanhuai and asked the court to investigate and punish Sheng Xuanhuai.

However, the Qing court did not let him do the same thing as Wang Wenwen, so soon the Qing court ordered Zhao Erfeng to suppress the Baolu movement that was taking place in Sichuan...

————————————————————

The more lively the affairs in Sichuan, the more the Qing court's popular support was lost.

At this time, Sichuan had a population of more than 50 million and was the largest province in the country. The Qing court's nationalization of the railways was tantamount to losing one-eighth of the popular support in one fell swoop—————— not counting Huguang and other provinces.

However, things are lively on the Sichuan side, and Yan Shao's side is just as lively.

After Zhao Erfeng took over Wang Wenwen's position. The time has entered July, summer. A hot season.

However, it is probably the group's factories that are even hotter than others, especially the cotton textile mill and the automobile factory. Although there was a lot of trouble in Huguang and Sichuan, this incident did not have much impact on Yan Shao's business, especially the business of the automobile factory.

After entering July, the four assembly lines assembled by Yan Shao required the institute have all been put into use. Counting the original assembly line, the entire car can produce at least 12,300 'raindrop' cars per month.

In addition, after the four assembly lines were put into use, the number of employees in the entire automobile plant reached more than 6,000.

12,300,000 vehicles per month, more than 100,000 vehicles a year...

This figure is equivalent to 4 to 50% of the annual automobile production in the United States, and the American automobile industry at this time has more than 60,000 people, which is simply a miracle

(To be clear, the premise here is not an exaggeration at all, because historically in 1914, 13,000 workers at Ford Motor Company produced 260,720 cars, while 66,350 workers at other car companies in the United States produced 286,770 cars.) Each Ford worker produces an average of 20 cars a year, nearly five times more than the average 4.3 cars per year for workers at other companies. By 1923, Ford accounted for 57 percent of the U.S. auto market, and every minute a freshly assembled car drove out of the gates of a Ford factory. ）

Today, more than 10,000 cars are produced by car factories every month, most of which are sold in the United States and Europe, and a small part are sold locally—————— which has been somewhat affected.

However, some of them were sold to Japan by Yan Shao.

He did this in order to suppress and even destroy Japan's fledgling auto industry, which, unlike China, has a considerable number of talented workers in an industrialized country. So in 1904, the first automobile factory appeared in Japan, and the founder of Japan's automobile manufacturing industry was Shintaro Yoshida.

In 1904, he founded the Tokyo Automobile Factory, and three years later he built the first domestically produced gasoline car, the Taikoo Li No. 1, and many automobile factories appeared in Japan.

Yan Shao is well aware of the importance of the automobile manufacturing industry, so he does not mind some suppression of Japan's automobile manufacturing industry when production allows.

Of the more than 10,000 cars produced by the factory each year, about 500 are sold locally, 10,000 are sold to Europe and the United States, and the remaining 1,000 or so are all sold to Japan, which is more than the annual production in Japan.

Although the labor cost in Japan is lower than in China, it is a manual work, and the cost cannot be less than 2,000 US dollars, or more than 5,000 yen, no matter how low it is. Therefore, the price of only 1500 yen 'raindrop' car is still very attractive to the Japanese, plus the performance will not be too inferior, just landed in the Japanese market has been sold out, some Japanese foreign companies feel that there is a profit and even take the initiative to find Yan Shao, hoping to be able to act as an agent, completely forgetting who killed them so badly.

It is not surprising that the Japanese are originally a very contradictory nation, and in terms of unity, they are at the forefront even in the world, but if they talk about infighting, there are probably few who can compare with them, such as the extremely classic struggle between the army and the navy, even at the most critical juncture...

Seeing that there are huge profits, it is natural that a few Japanese foreign companies will come together, after all, no one will be disgusted with money. And with so many Japanese foreign companies as guides, Yan Shao also took advantage of the trend to increase the export of cars to Japan.

It is difficult to say which of the two has a greater weight in Yan Shao's heart, whether it is to conquer the European and American markets or destroy the Japanese auto industry. But with the increasing output of the automobile factory almost every day, Yan Shao does not need to make a choice.

Moreover, the optimized car models and assembly lines of the research institute have also entered the end, and only after the completion of the new assembly line will be assembled 5 new assembly lines, and the original 5 assembly lines will be upgraded, and the production capacity of the automobile factory can reach about 300,000 units per Chinese New Year's Eve...
