In the important roads in Baotou, patrol battalions and militia recruitment notices were almost full. Baotou is now much more lively than before. Although it is not as prosperous as the industrial zone, it has become much more prosperous because of the arrival of a large number of workers and migrant workers in other places. The villages built first have allowed more and more people to live in, and the city scope of Baotou has also begun to increase.

During this period, a factory has added a factory, Baoken Company, flour mill, brick mill, cement mill, highway company, and even something that is sour and alkaline. In short, more and more novel things have appeared in Baotou, especially recently, there are many more foreigners in Baotou.

The arrival of more than 1,400 foreigners allowed the people of Baotou to see a diorama. This is a real diorama. In Baotou, perhaps during the season of skin acquisition, they would meet one or two foreigners, some Russians, and some were just foreign companies, and they came directly to buy it. However, in most cases, those who came to buy were compradors from all over the country, most of which were European and Americans. Their hair was red, yellow, and brown. In short, there were all kinds of strange things. By the way, there were hundreds of families. This was a real foreign woman. This was a different scenery for the closed Baotou.

Almost every day, in front of the dormitory where foreigners live, a large number of people gather to watch the fun. The reason why the excitement is called lively is that it is more because it has never been seen before. More than 1,000 foreigners, when they see it, have one nose and two eyes. Apart from different appearances and different words, there is nothing else.

Except for occasionally going out on the streets, foreigners speak Chinese half-baked and talking with Baotou people, the rest of their time is mostly spent in factories, which Mr. Yang built several new factories. Thanks to these foreigners, this is how smoothly it is. These elderly people in Baotou have spread all over the place. For the construction of industries, Mr. Yang, who is most of the factories, has a high status in Baotou. Even ordinary people know that after Mr. Yang comes to Baotou, they have a good life.

The impact caused by thousands of foreigners. Just disappeared in Baotou, another wave started to retract troops. The militia and patrol battalions recruited 1,000 people from outside, and the patrol battalions had 700 people, totaling 1,700 people.

The recruitment location was in Baoken Company, but the name was the Yellow River Patrol Battalion and the Baotou Militia. There were a series of treatments behind it. It was said that this treatment was good, but people's thinking was that good men were not soldiers, and this was no exception in Baotou. It was almost deserted, and no soldiers were recruited for several consecutive days.

There are many different opinions among the people. After all, the leader is Baoken Company. It is also the so-called Young Master Yang. In the past six months, Baotou has undergone earth-shaking changes, and various mechanical factories. To a certain extent, it is easy for Baotou people to make money, and some people are dissatisfied with the tenants. Although they rely on the divert of Baoken Company, highway companies, and other factories, only a part of the solution is solved. Even if labor-for-relief is used, it is impossible to solve them all. The remaining few people can only rely on the future, and the continuous expansion of factories and the use of personnel will gradually increase.

To be a soldier, in a sense, it is also a road. Yang Yuanzhao's conditions for these soldiers were not bad, but the few registrations prove that people still have wait-and-see or even confusion about this.

He could not force them to join the army, so Liu Shu had no choice but to find Yang Yuanzhao to solve the problem. Yang Yuanzhao did not expect that the recruitment of soldiers was highly rewarded and would be the one who responded to them. You should know that although the militia was not a formal army, the military pay was not high, and it was only about 7 yuan per month, which was beyond the standards of all militias. Even if it was an enlightened militia leader, it would not exceed 2 silver dollars in this era.

In Yang Yuanzhao's imagination, the militia was divided into military pay and physical goods. The monthly sufficient rice and flour, as well as a little meat, were worth about 10 yuan, which was 17 yuan in total. These were all clearly listed items.

Liu Shu is a capable official and can manage the Baoken Company and many of his companies in an orderly manner, which shows his ability. It is certain that there is also publicity in this regard. It cannot attract people even if 17 yuan is not attractive. I am afraid that it is still a concern about joining the army. After thinking about it for a while, he casually said: "Turn recruiting soldiers into recruiting workers!"

"Recruiting?" Liu Shu was stunned for a moment and said in a hurry: "Yuan Zhao cannot speak without trust, this must not be done!"

It has been more than half a year since we arrived in this era, and it is November soon. Yang Yuanzhao has already understood this era. In this era, the word "credit" is still very useful, especially for businessmen. The word "trust" is enough to make people climb to the top from poverty and white. The same word will also make those who have wealthy wealth extremely poor. The word "trust" is definitely a long sword hanging on the forehead of every business, unless the result is too tempting and there are very few people who are treacherous.

"Of course I recruit ordinary workers. As for the army, choose from the workers!" Yang Yuanzhao said casually.

Yang Yuanzhao's meaning is very clear. To a certain extent, soldiers converted by workers are more likely to enter the state. After all, these workers have been trained and trained in queues for two months. Later, they have been working. In terms of cooperation and cooperation, they are much better than ordinary farmers. The most important thing is that many workers still barely understand some commonly used Chinese characters.

This is something that has been implemented in the factory. If you know 500 Chinese characters, you can get 15 kilograms of white flour every month. This regulation, from the first Baokening Company to the current cement factory and cotton textile factory, is the same. Although this ratio is very low, many workers have given up, and the direct temptation is still very effective. Most workers at least know their own names and the commonly used simple Chinese characters. 50-100 are the norm, and more than 500 are also present. Now it is only recorded in Baotou, with 2,500 people. This ratio is really not low.

Such a person can be regarded as a military officer in this era. You should know that most of the lower-level officers have certain management skills, can understand orders, and can draw maps and execute military orders by the way. This is even more perfect. These are all 50 basic Chinese characters based on reading and literacy. Plus, they are guessed and guessed, so it should be fine.

When Liu Shu heard this, he frowned and said, "Choose among workers? Isn't this even worse? Most workers have more salary than 17!"

"It's okay. According to the original salary standards, the daily subsidies will be the same. By the way, I have been in the army for five years. If everything is qualified, I can retire and the salary standards will be increased by one level!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly: "This amount of money can be withdrawn directly from me, without having to leave the accounts of the militia or the contracting company!"

This sentence is clearly stated. What is Liu Shu’s dissatisfaction? Perhaps, for most workers, becoming a soldier is still a difficult thing to decide. On the basis of the original, there was an additional 10 yuan subsidy, or a subsidy of flour, rice and meat. This is what every household needs. It can be taken out casually. It can also be replaced with a foreign country. This temptation is great. Not to mention retirement in five years, you can still get a higher salary. This is a pie that will never fall in the sky. Liu Shu can even foresee how many people are willing to join the army.

In fact, when Liu Shu announced the standards among many factories in Baotou, many people signed up, which also affected the people who were still hesitating before, because Liu Shu exerted Yang Yuanzhao's orders again. Even ordinary people, as long as they were five years later, qualified retired soldiers could become factory workers. This really shocked everyone.

Baotou factories were all established under the construction of Yang Yuanzhao. How good the workers are treated is, this is something that every discerning person can see. Therefore, as long as there is a factory recruiting workers, no matter what they do, they will definitely be fully recruited. Everyone who becomes a worker will be treated well in all aspects. One person’s salary will definitely support the whole family.

A good man does not serve as a soldier, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this era, especially the old-style army, who eats empty wages and drinks blood. In the army, officers do not regard soldiers as humans, and they will not know how to die when they die. Therefore, when Baotou recruits soldiers, even when Liu Shu, the head of Baoken Company, recruits soldiers, based on his thoughts, no one dares to come, because he is afraid that he will not get the money and lose his life in vain.

But now it is different. With Yang Yuanzhao's endorsement, he recruited directly from the factory. After he was discharged from the army, he would raise his salary first level. Ordinary people could join the factory to work. Factory workers have much higher awareness of Yang Yuanzhao than ordinary farmers. Half a year ago, they lived and what life they live now. I didn't know that this militia was led by Yang Yuanzhao. Now I know that even the salary is included. Who doesn't know that, not to mention the increase in the first level of salary in 5 years, nor to mention the monthly subsidy of 10 yuan, just say that they are grateful to Yang Yuanzhao, and it's okay to be a soldier.

Suddenly, there were many applicants, and 1,000 places were not enough. When the news came to Yang Yuanzhao's side, Yang Yuanzhao didn't care. He waved his hand and directly added 2,000 places. One sheep was also driven, two sheep were also driven, and three sheep were also trained. Feng Yuxiang's 500 people had trained more than 1,000 people. The militia was even more in charge. No one would come to investigate how many militia people were. In this way, most militias were not full. As long as you were not blatant, it would be fine. As long as you can afford to raise a militia of 3,000 people, you can be careful, and there is no problem.

In this way, the quota of 3,000 people was also selected from the best. Other people also saw the key points among the enthusiastic workers and signed up. Suddenly, the quota reached 4:1, and a total of 12,000 people signed up.

Among them, Liu Shu also did some things. The workers basically chose non-technical workers. Baotou has a very thin foundation now. Technical workers recruited from other places, including apprentices who follow technical workers, are rarely determined unless necessary, and recruited some ordinary hard-working workers. In this way, there are only 1,200 workers in the 3,000 quota, and the rest are much stricter. In terms of height, strength, and even flexibility, a few are literate people. In this way, it took three or four days to choose 3,000 people, all of which have reached certain standards of strength and physical fitness.

The military camp will not need the original one. Even if the barracks are built in the future, they will be stationed at most with more than 1,000 people. They can be used as the headquarters of the militia. A little elite force, plus the officers' level of the patrol battalion, will be stationed here. In addition, near the mountainside, about 5 kilometers, I found a place of land and built a larger military camp. As the general garrison of the militia, civil engineering has been started. The current militia is only basic training for the time being.

To be honest, 3,000 people suddenly scared Wang Jinming. He didn't expect that Brother Yuan Zhao was a veteran who broke the rules. The militia with a fixed quota expanded to 3,000 people and 500 people. He was also a real 700 combat soldiers. In addition to the 100 people who were the backbone and basic non-commissioned officers of the militia, they were used for training, the rest were stuffed into the patrol team.

3,000 people are roughly the standard. In terms of the number of soldiers under his command, Wang Jinming even surpassed Feng Yuxiang to a certain extent. However, at this time, Wang Jinming could no longer think much. He was in charge of everything for 3,000 people. Although Baotou was responsible for the logistics work, whether it was guns, ammunition, clothes and bedding, or even personal belongings and toiletries, Baotou was responsible for it, but more than 3,000 people were simply a mess. If it weren't for more than 100 people helping and his old subordinates were at any time, they would really not be able to deal with it.

Fortunately, he barely trained people together and started the initial training. Wang Jinming was from the old army. He started as a soldier in his teenage years and participated in dozens of battles of all sizes and sizes, and almost accumulated merit to his current position. In the past few years, he has been training for recruits, and even he has trained directly in the company.

When the soldiers of Baotou were all new soldiers, they had never even touched the gun. They had seen too many clumsy guns. They needed to train well to get rid of their original character and to meet the current standards of soldiers, it would take at least six or seven months of rigorous training. By the way, take them out to fight a few battles and see blood.
