"Since you all think so, then ask him to report to the military camp."
There is no need to think about how to explain to the two elders about Chuanwu, Zhu Chuanwen can accept Chuanwu and enter the military camp.
Chuanwu's brain is not good, he can't eat with his brain, his temper is not peaceful enough, and he doesn't have the patience to work hard to farm.
He only had a fairly strong body, and the conditions of Lao Zhu's family made it impossible for Chuanwu to do hard labor.
If you don't want to keep Chuanwu at home and treat him like a waste like the Eight Banners disciples who subjugated the country, the only way out is to become a soldier.
"Bang...what is it called? He doesn't even come home now, how can I ask him to go? You send some people into the mountain and catch that bastard back to me." Zhu Kaishan slapped the table with a loud bang, and he was so angry.
He was so big that his face turned red.
"You still need to send people into the mountains to 'invite' him. Is he really just stuck in the woods without even going home for supplies?"
Even after hearing that Chuanwu would not go home, Zhu Chuanwen did not expect that Chuanwu would leave home so completely this time.
Even after entering the mountains, eating and drinking are not a big problem.
It is also because of modern firearms that people in modern times have certain protection when they go into the woods.
With only the ammunition he took with him when he left home, Chuanwu could not run rampant in the woods for long.
There is no ammunition replenishment. For safety reasons, you can only use it sparingly.
If Chuanwu just hopes to hunt with a trap, it is possible that he will go hungry.
"Chuanwen, Chuanwu hasn't been home for a month." Mrs. Zhu Wei explained to Zhu Chuanwen.
"If you don't come back, you won't come back." Zhu Chuanwen didn't quite understand Chuanwu's stubbornness, and he didn't think it had any backbone: "Father, mother, are we raising a fool in our family?"
Zhu Chuanwen couldn't help but complain that some people really let the landlord's "silly son" live a good life and insist on becoming a refugee in the mountains.
"Then I'll leave the 'silly boy' to you. I don't want to take care of it anymore." Zhu Kaishan waved his hands and said with a tired look.
"Sigh." Mrs. Zhu Wei didn't say anything, just sighed, holding her forehead with her hand and obviously having a headache. She might be reflecting on herself, how she raised her son to be like this.
"Okay, if you don't want to take care of it, just leave it alone. I will send people to catch him when I have time." After agreeing, Zhu Chuanwen continued: "Where is Chuanjie, why is he not at home?"
"After living in the arsenal and you not at home, how dare he ignore things in the factory."
After listening to Zhu Kaishan's words, Zhu Chuanwen felt a lot of comfort.
There are people in the family who are unwilling to work with me, and there are people who are incapable and want to cause trouble, but there is always someone who has limited abilities and is willing to help me.
"Fortunately, there is someone who can save my worries. I'll go check on Chuanjie first. The arsenal will be put to great use soon. It won't work if it can't be put into production yet."
"What's going on? Weren't you not so anxious before?" Although Zhu Kaishan is most willing to live a stable life, he is not unconcerned about Zhu Chuanwen's affairs.
"It's nothing. Just after this trip, I found that our strength is still a little weak. At this point, we can defend the territory with manpower, but it is too far behind to open up."
After going out for a while, Zhu Chuanwen changed his mind a little bit.
Although the elite soldier route can be taken, a certain number is still necessary.
Although Zhu Chuanwen himself knew that the strength in his hands was not weak.
One thousand of his own men are totally worthy compared to the three to five thousand men of ordinary warlords.
If commanded properly, it is not impossible to defeat thousands of people.
However, without sufficient support, it will be difficult for Zhu Chuanwen to obtain the political status he deserves.
There is only a militia group of more than a thousand people, but no one can easily gather tens of thousands of people. The strength of a division sounds intimidating.
"Brother, you are back."
"How about it? Is the rifle ready for mass production?"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhu Chuanwen asked Chuanjie about business.
Due to the lack of talent, it is somewhat difficult to design firearms yourself.
Therefore, Zhu Chuanwen followed the same path as other domestic arsenals, directly copying foreign ready-made designs.
According to the current industrial status of the country, we definitely cannot pursue high-end and sophisticated products.
Simplicity, solid leather and durability are the most realistic pursuits at present.
After considering the power, it is not difficult to choose which type.
It was Zhu Chuanwen’s favorite product before, the Mosingana rifle.
This is also a classic rifle that was active in World War I and World War II and has not been eliminated for decades.
This proves that after production, if properly maintained, it can definitely still be used twenty years later.
"Brother, the accuracy is still a little lacking. Compared with the authentic Maozi products, the range is still much worse."
The problem with the range is that the machining accuracy is not enough. Domestic copycat products generally have this problem.
"They are not all authentic Maozi products. Most of Maozi's rifles are found in factories in other countries." The Maozi industry at this stage is not very good, so they designed this kind of firearm that is easy to process and produce.
model.
Even for this easy-to-produce model, if there is a large demand, Maozi will still place an order with a foreign factory: "Bring me a handful."
"Brother, let's go to the shooting range."
The military factory shooting range is of course a must.
This thing is not difficult at all. Just find an open space and measure the ruler, and it can be regarded as a standard.
"There is no error within two hundred meters. This gun is already good. Your hard work during this period has not been in vain. Although I know that the factory is still relatively difficult. Both machinery and workers are lacking in the factory, but you still have to produce me a gun as soon as possible.
Approved."
After giving it a try, Zhu Chuanwen still gave Chuanjie his approval.
Although the combat distance of a general rifle is about four to five hundred meters.
But the domestic situation cannot be compared with the international situation.
Two hundred meters ensures a good accuracy, and the rifle has enough practicality.
Outside the customs, as long as you don't match up with Maozi and Day, you can be crushed by equipment.
There is no problem in the initial use. After it is eliminated, you can buy and sell with confidence without fear of threatening yourself.
"Brother, our production capacity is limited now. We can only produce about a hundred pieces a month."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chuanjie replied with some embarrassment, this output is indeed not ideal.
For Zhu Chuanwen, with this output, it is really better to use the investment money to buy guns directly.
For tens of thousands of silver dollars, Zhu Chuanwen could buy thousands of guns.
But this is a breakthrough from scratch. With independent production capabilities, we will not be stuck by others.
As a result of the lack of self-production capabilities, in the following decades, foreigners from all walks of life regarded the land outside the customs as the best weapons dumping ground.
He keeps doing things on this base just to create greater benefits for himself.
"Stop working in the factory, go out more and recruit more engineers and workers. If it's hard for us Chinese to recruit, it's okay to temporarily recruit a few bad guys."
In fact, when the Manchus were waiting to die, it was not after they had not done anything and were beaten painfully by foreigners.
Many international students were also sent out one after another.
These international students not only brought the ideas of new democracy.
He also brought back a variety of advanced knowledge and experience.
So far, there are at least tens of thousands of students studying abroad under various government-sponsored and self-financing programs.
Although Haisu, Zhejiang and eastern Guangdong provinces have the largest number of international students.
But outside the customs was also the first territory to be opened up, and there were also a lot of international students.
Most of these people study majors such as machinery, shipbuilding, railways, mining, posts and telecommunications, agriculture, medicine, etc. that are urgently needed in the country.
Zhu Chuanwen is still very greedy for these people, and if he can recruit one of them, he will make a lot of money.
"Brother, what should I do if I leave the factory?"
"The factory is just like this now. I don't need you to keep an eye on it for the time being. I also want to open several other types of factories. You can't always be tied to one factory."
It's not easy for Lao Zhu's family to have such a useful person.
It would be a pity to just let Chuanjie manage such a small arsenal.
It means that the times are not right. If it were still the era of family affairs and Zhu Kaishan went out to conquer the country, Chuanjie would be the best person to help Zhu Chuanwen manage logistics.
"Brother, what kind of factory do you want to open? With just this arsenal, our family will not be able to survive."
"Don't worry, other factories will not be like arsenals, which are all inputs but no output...the products produced will continuously bring us profits."
In addition to helping with supply logistics, other factories, whether they are textile factories, chemical plants, or steel mills, profit is a very important aspect.
"Then I'll go to Bingcheng and stay there for a while, and then come back after the New Year."
Chuanjie is indeed very interested in business matters.
After being hit by Zhu Chuanwen's big cake, his blood immediately became hot and he couldn't help but want to take action immediately.
The nearest big city to Yuanbao Town is undoubtedly Bingcheng.
No matter what era you are in, if you want to recruit talents, you must go to a big city.
"Okay, I'll arrange some for you and arrange the fastest train for you."
Seeing Chuanjie's anger, Zhu Chuanwen said jokingly.
You can directly take the train from Yuanbao Town to Bingcheng. This section is not difficult to walk.
Otherwise, this season is really not that suitable for traveling outside.
"I'll also make preparations and go to Xia's house to inform Yushu."
After the excitement was over, Chuanjie immediately thought of his unmarried wife.
"If you want to go to the Xia family, I will go with you."
"Brother, what are you doing at Xia's house?"
"Yuanbao Town is so big, how can we develop it just by relying on our family? I'll go talk to Yushu's father and get the nearby merchants to work together."
As long as he controls the core people and horses, Zhu Chuanwen does not mind others taking part of the other benefits.
Such a large territory outside the customs cannot be developed simply by relying on Zhu Chuanwen's own funds.
We still have to rely on collective strength and the industries developed by these people.
When needed, he can still help Zhu Chuanwen and provide strength.
No matter where these people are close to.
When necessary, these people must "get close" to Zhu Chuanwen.
When someone has a gun in his hand, he can speak so harshly.
The next day, Zhu Chuanwen took Xian'er and Chuanjie to the town.
I followed Nawen out for more than a month, and of course I left Xian'er in the cold.
Now that there is a chance, Zhu Chuanwen still wants to spend more time with Xian'er.
Although there are new people, we cannot forget the old ones.
Originally Chuanwu, Zhu Chuanwen was the one left to take care of his parents and help guard the house.
But Chuanwu was unreliable, and he became a Xian'er who stayed with his parents and took care of them all the time. Zhu Chuanwen had to express this even more.
"Uncle Xia, this is some drink I brought back to you from Fengtian. It seemed quite rare, so I brought it to you."
It's rare, but it's not rare at all. It's just two cans of coffee.
Zhu Chuanwen asked Xia Yuanzhang to help him with something this time. He couldn't come to Xia's house empty-handed, so he brought two cans over.
"Zhuan Wen, you are still too polite. Come here and see what I, an old man, want to bring."
Xia Yuanzhang said with a smile.
But coffee is certainly not a novelty to Xia Yuanzhang.
Xia Yuanzhang, a traveling businessman, came into contact with these things earlier than the Zhu family.
The key is that this is something given by Zhu Chuanwen, the "man in charge" of Sanjiangkou, and it has a different meaning.
For a long time, others have given gifts to Zhu Chuanwen, and it depends on whether Zhu Chuanwen is willing to accept them, let alone give them to others.
"Uncle Xia, you are still in your prime, why are you talking about old age? Although Yuqing has been able to support the reputation of Chun Hesheng, but you are still young and strong, how can you only think about how to support your old age?"
After Chun Hesheng's business grew bigger and bigger, Xia Yuanzhang already felt a little satisfied.
It's hard to compare with other places, but at least in the Sanjiangkou area, Chun Hesheng is already a big business name.
In Yuanbao Town, Xia Yuanzhang is the absolute number one.
"Chuan Wen, I'm already this age, and it's time to enjoy life. Chun Hesheng is already in my hands, and it's developing like never before. Even if I close my eyes now, I can still be worthy of the ancestors of the Xia family.
.”
Xia Yuanzhang said proudly, he was in a state where he had no big goals and no pursuits.
There is nothing wrong with Xia Yuanzhang himself, it's just that he's been on a smooth journey, and it's easy to drift after no one suppresses him.
Even when Xia Yuanzhang went to Shandong to sell goods during the drought, he accompanied him once.
The property in Lushun City has been taken over by life. Losing all the property is considered a disaster.
But these two experiences were natural and man-made disasters, and Xia Yuanzhang did not feel that there was a problem with his abilities.
Eight years have passed, enough time for Xia Yuanzhang to get over these things and become proud.
"Uncle Xia, I have a big plan here. Do you want to listen to it? If you do this well, the descendants of the Xia family will always remember you?"
In fact, Zhu Chuanwen really wanted to complain about Xia Yuanzhang.
Chun Hesheng has been able to develop to its current scale mainly because Mr. Xia supported Zhu Chuanwen in the beginning.
It actually has little to do with Xia Yuanzhang. Another big shopkeeper with a standard level can still develop Chun Hesheng. This does not prove Xia Yuanzhang's ability.
But for the sake of the relationship between the two families, Zhu Chuanwen really didn't want to expose the truth and made fun of Xia Yuanzhang.
"Oh...there is something like this. Could you please explain it in detail?"
This immediately aroused Xia Yuanzhang's interest. With only these things in front of him, Xia Yuanzhang is pursuing only this now.
"Uncle Xia, what do you think we should set up a chamber of commerce and invite everyone who follows us."
