Yang Fan arranged the affairs for the autumn harvest, and then authorized the people from the Militia Department to organize a two-month military training after the autumn harvest. There are rules for these, so just follow them.
This militia training is open to both men and women, as long as they are over 15 years old and under 50 years old. Farmers train intensively for two months after the autumn harvest. The factory is in a special situation and has to work in three shifts to produce weapons and ammunition. The steel factory
Steel must be produced 24 hours a day. Production cannot be stopped. Two days every ten days are set aside to train the retired Fran machine guns, various types of general cannons, door guns, spear assassination and grenade throwing. This lasts for three months.
The reason why workers are provided with spears is because spears and lances are different.
The spear is the standard equipment of the army and requires long-term and rigorous training to use. The spear can be used when it is fired. The simplified civilian version of this thing is also called a spear. It can be used to throw enemies and can also assassinate.
These two weapons are both large, long pole weapons. They look very easy to confuse, but they are very different. They are two completely different things.
The gun has a red tassel, which is used to prevent the blood from flowing along the barrel of the gun when the enemy is assassinated, causing the hand to slip and unable to hold the gun. Spears generally do not have red tassels. The spear head is short and sharp, and is generally used for assassination. The spear head is relatively long.
The spear head is flat, like a short sword, and has a certain slashing function. The main techniques include picking, stabbing, chopping, chopping, etc.
The biggest difference between a gun and a spear is in use. The shaft of a spear is a soft ash wood pole, which is elastic. When using it, you need to use waist and wrist strength. The force starts from the heel and from the ground. Without professional and long-term training,
Not useful at all.
The shaft of the spear is hard and relies on physical strength. As long as the arm has strength, it can be used.
This is also a weapon suitable for militiamen. Yang Fan is not short of steel, and Erlunzi collected scrap axle steel and spring steel plates, so it is perfect to build a spear head for them.
At the same time, orders for material reserves were issued.
Xinghe supermarkets in Beijing and Zunhua have posted notices that in the past month, corn purchases have been allowed ten times the amount of grain. From next month, corn sales will be stopped for one year. If you want to buy, hurry up.
Xinghe Supermarket is ready to sell all the grain in the warehouse.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused panic.
In the past two years, the poor in Beijing have become accustomed to it. Each person can buy thirty kilograms of cornmeal or corn crumbs with their monthly grain budget. Many poor people currently rely on corn for their livelihood. Because so far, the price of rice has
The price has risen to five cents of silver per load. Even miscellaneous grains cost two cents of silver per load. Chen rice also costs three cents and five cents of silver.
Their average monthly salary is only two to three cents of silver. A few who are literate or can do accounting and accounting can earn three to five cents of silver.
They can no longer afford to eat at this price. Their wages are only enough to buy a load of grains.
This is the ration for the whole family. One hundred and twenty kilograms of miscellaneous grains. According to a family of five, one person weighs twenty-four kilograms. In this era without oil, water and non-staple food, people have a lot of food. If you are not full, you will not be able to do heavy work.
. Moreover, it is impossible to spend all the money on food.
At least they need to buy salt, eat vegetables, and buy clothes. If the elderly are sick, they need to see a doctor. It would be fine if they have their own shabby thatched cottage inherited from their ancestors, but if they don’t have a house, they have to rent a house. Then it will be even more difficult.
Since the opening of Xinghe Supermarket, according to the grain book, buying corn for one penny and three pounds is almost the same as getting it for free. In the past two years, no matter the external situation, whether it is floods, droughts, or soaring prices, this price is unbeatable. There has never been a price increase.
Pass.
The only restriction is that you must have a grain book before you can buy it. If you don’t have a grain book, you won’t be able to sell it.
In the food book, in addition to the monthly food stamps, there are also stamps for one pound of fat pork, cloth stamps for three feet of fine cotton and ten feet of burlap. This cloth stamp is the most cherished by the poor.
They are reluctant to use it, and usually they wait until the end of the year to use it intensively. Thirty-six feet of cloth with a width of two meters, and 120 feet of linen with a width of two meters. They can make new clothes for a family.
However, the sudden appearance of the notice alarmed everyone. The poor people did not know what had happened.
In recent years, people in and around the capital have had many job opportunities, and they have saved dozens of taels of silver.
Especially the railway community in Nancheng. This huge community with an area of four square kilometers is home to 100,000 families. The walls are one meter thick and five meters high, and are densely packed with six-story tube buildings.
Their men all go to other places to build railways, roads, bridges, and tunnels. Their families live here. There are hospitals, schools, post offices, Xinghe supermarkets, tailor shops, laundry shops, grocery stores, and businesses in this community.
The street... is simply a city within a city.
The railway community is located in the southeast corner of Nancheng, roughly the area south of today's Guangqumen Nei Street and outside the east wall of the Temple of Heaven.
At this time, this place was deserted. Although the southern half of this place was the location of Longtan Lake Park in later generations, in the late Ming Dynasty, it was just some ponds and wasteland.
Longxugou flows through this place, so it is named "Longtan Lake". It is an area where the ancient Gaoliang River passes through. It belongs to the Haihe River Basin, a tributary of the North Canal and a tributary of the Huihe River and a moat water system. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the outer city walls were dug and burned.
Bricks are formed by water accumulation in the kiln pit.
Yang Fan likes this place mainly because the land price is cheap. The grass here is deep and sparsely populated. The land is so cheap that it's like giving it away for free. Just like the poor demolition community in Beicheng, which was placed in the southwest corner. It is to reduce costs.
Now this little corner on the east side of the Temple of Heaven has become prosperous because of the families of railway workers. One hundred thousand households, that is, a population of 500,000 to 600,000. It is still a population with spending power.
Yang Fan built a tube tower with a total of 300,000 rooms on the northern half of the land. In the southern half, he planned to imitate later generations to dig up Longtan Lake and build a park.
This area has very bad Feng Shui, otherwise it would be very suitable to be developed into a waterfront villa area.
The corner of the South Second Ring Road is a famous Feng Shui problem in the Imperial City.
There are several buildings here, and there are always some problems that are difficult to explain. People in this era are more superstitious, and rich people will definitely not live here. So Yang Fan just planned to build it into a park.
Railway workers have high incomes because they work in the field, which is very hard. They are also at risk of encountering natural disasters, engineering injuries, bandits, wild animals, and climate disasters.
Moreover, it is strenuous physical labor. Therefore, their salary is basically no less than one tael of silver. They are also responsible for food and housing, are given four sets of clothes and shoes a year, and enjoy free medical care.
Their wages are paid to their accounts through Xinghe Bank. Their families can receive them through deposits and withdrawals in Beijing. Therefore, these people have spending power.
There are three gates in the southern part of Nancheng. The Yongding Gate is on the central axis in the middle. The You'an Gate is in the middle of the west. But the Zuo'an Gate on the left is really close to the east edge.
Now as soon as you enter Zuo'anmen Street, there are dense shops and businesses on both sides. All the way north to Liangguang Road. These shops are basically various convenience service shops opened by workers' families. Because the house and land belong to Yang Fan. He
Only rented to workers' families.
Even if other businessmen see business opportunities and want to do business, they can't rent a house.
