After the first attempt failed, Lin Ziran did not continue to work hard for the second time. As a talent of the new era, he knew very well that many things cannot be achieved through hard work.
Sometimes there is no need to work hard at all, and success will come to you on its own.
Of course, there are very few opportunities for this kind of pie in the sky, so more often than not, you don’t have to work hard, but you have to let others work hard on your behalf.
As the saying goes, those in higher positions work hard on their minds, while those in lower positions work on their bodies.
Many kings, ministers and generals in history did this.
Lin Ziran also decided to do this, so after the first test failed, he asked Luo Mazi to find Boss Wang.
Boss Wang seems to be short, ugly and not very talented, but after all he has gone to a big city to see the world, worked as a mechanic in a big factory, and he still has money!
In Qingshan Town, he is considered short, ugly, rich, and a nice person. He often gives toys and candies to the children next door, and he is very popular with the female neighbor next door.
When he saw Lin Ziran, Boss Wang was still a little confused.
When Luo Mazi came to look for him, he only said that the Yingguan was looking for him. Boss Wang asked around on the road and knew that the Yingguan seemed to be messing around with some kerosene today.
Kerosene?
This thing has nothing to do with him.
Although he, Lao Wang, has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge, most of it is limited to mechanical aspects, and he has never been exposed to kerosene and the like.
But after meeting Lin Ziran, he realized why Lin Ziran had called him here and asked him to help get a lot of equipment.
but……
To put it bluntly, he is just a blacksmith. Who knows about these things? He immediately showed a troubled look: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to help, but I can't handle some of these things."
Lin Ziran didn't take it seriously. He actually didn't expect Boss Wang to do anything. He just asked him to build a distillation tower. Although his iron workshop was a bit broken, so were the few craftsmen under him.
I'm an old craftsman, so I can still do some knocking and other things.
As for other experimental equipment, he naturally purchased it from outside.
Lin Ziran worked hard all day today. Although he still failed to do it, he had helped the school girl before. He knew the basic theory and process. What he lacked was just the tools.
After asking Boss Wang to build the distillation tower, Lin Ziran did not stop. Instead, he asked people from Qingshan Trading Company to come over, and then made a purchase list for them, asking them to go to the county or other places to purchase the test equipment as soon as possible.
In addition, Lin Ziran also specially asked Qingshan Trading Company to find a bachelor who majored in science and engineering to come back and help him do experiments when they went to the county to purchase.
My theory is enough, but my practical ability is still a bit behind.
Besides, I am a man who stands at the top of the food chain. It is nothing to do experiments on my own. It is degrading.
After giving all the instructions, Lin Ziran completely forgot about the experiment and continued to torment his patrol camp.
In the city gate barracks, more than two hundred patrol battalion soldiers lined up, changing formations under the command of their leaders. After such a short period of training, these soldiers already looked like soldiers.
At least they were able to form a neat queue, and if they were asked to turn right, they would not turn left.
This makes Lin Ziran quite pleased!
This little thing may seem insignificant, but it's actually very important.
This queue may seem inconspicuous, but behind it it represents very important elements such as discipline and obedience to orders. These two points are the biggest difference between the army and ordinary people.
In addition to these, these young men who have just put down their hoes for about half a month are now able to reload proficiently. Of course, most people's reloading speed is not that fast and can reach two rounds per minute.
There are very few people.
But after all, the time is still short. If you practice slowly, the reloading speed will eventually increase.
As for the marksmanship, of course it's up to chance. Anyway, just aim at the approximate target and hit it. You can't expect them to be as good as some of the old bandits after only training for half a month.
The group of old bandits under Lin Ziran's command, if you ask them to fight tough battles, they will definitely turn around and run away as soon as you give the order, but hiding and shooting black guns will basically not be too bad.
When resisting the Guang'an rebel attack some time ago, Lin Ziran selected some thirty old bandits who used Mini rifles, and most of them had good marksmanship.
But Lin Ziran was very sure that if those old bandits and these new recruits were to line up to fight in the wild, those old bandits would definitely collapse before they could fight.
After the formation training was completed, Lin Ziran began to follow his ideas and promoted several of the people who had performed well in training in the past half month. As a kind of motivation, it was also to make the army more regular.
Wu Dajiang is one of them, and he is a more prominent one!
He knew a few words, and he was a typical farmer's boy. He didn't dare to say how honest he was, but he didn't cause trouble, trained hard, and obeyed orders. Lin Ziran had naturally taken notice of such a person early on.
Some time ago, he was appointed as the squad leader, but now Lin Ziran promoted him to be the deputy platoon leader of the first platoon.
"Dajiang, if you continue to work hard in the future, I'm still optimistic about you!" Lin Ziran left this sentence to Wu Dajiang.
It's just that Wu Dajiang is a bit dull and can only smile silly and grin.
If it was Luo Mazi, he would have been patting the horses wildly and talking about how powerful the master is, how awesome the master is, and then expressed his loyalty and died for the master.
And this Wu Dajiang can only smile stupidly!
Well, actually Wu Dajiang like this is the reason why he was promoted.
Among the more than 200 newly recruited people, it is not that there are not smart people, there are some, and many of them.
Within a few days of joining, several of them found out that the soldiers in the patrol camp they were working for were a bit obedient, and they even asked insinuating questions. As a result, they were kicked out of the patrol camp by Lin Ziran.
There are also some people who are smarter and have good military talents, but Lin Ziran is still useless.
There are only more than 200 people in this patrol camp. It is small in scale and newly established. If there are some tricksters in the beginning, the atmosphere of this patrol camp in the future can be imagined.
He didn't want to create a new group of bandits.
In fact, during this period, although he also dispatched more than a dozen confidant bandits to serve as platoon leaders, deputy platoon leaders and other backbones in the new army, Lin Ziran has always been strict with these bandits.
Don't bring the same old tricks to the patrol camp, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!
Although these confidant bandits couldn't understand why Lin Ziran insisted on letting them pretend to be stereotypical scholar-bureaucrats in the patrol camp, but since the boss said so, they could only do it.
However, even so, Lin Ziran was prepared to gradually transfer these old bandits away, and then promote a number of confidants from the more than 200 people, and then take over the positions of platoon leader and deputy platoon leader.
Wu Dajiang is just the first person in his plan.
In order to maintain the loyalty and ethos of the early stage, it was impossible for Lin Ziran to recruit some smart people, regardless of whether they were talented or not.
What he wants is an honest person, someone who listens to his orders from Lin Ziran, and he doesn’t want anyone else now!
