For nearly three months, Chu Tianyun had not returned to Quzhou City once. The rumors in Quzhou City were no longer a secret in the 11th Division.
Master Chu's concubine, Madam Wang, was pregnant. They did not know if it was a boy or a girl, but the pregnancy was confirmed.
The 11th Division was made up of Chu Yonglong's direct subordinates. If it wasn't for Chu Tianyun bringing the 1st Battalion out, he wouldn't even have the strength to raise an army.
Ever since Chu Tianyun had transmigrated, the identity of Chu Yonglong's adopted son had been stuck in his mind like a rock. Chu Yonglong had the strength of a division, while he only had the strength of a battalion. If they were to clash head-on, his chances of losing were close to 100%.
Therefore, he had to wait and see!
It was unknown whether the child in Madam Wang's stomach was a boy or a girl. If it was a girl, Chu Tianyun would be safe. This was also the reason why Chu Yonglong had recently executed all the people who had spread rumors. Most of them were done by Madam Wang.
Chu Yonglong didn't want to cut off his escape route before the outcome was clear.
The 300 men of the 1st Battalion were like the difference between heaven and earth from three months ago. The physical fitness of these 300 men had been greatly improved, and most importantly, they were all illiterate.
Another important point was that the accuracy of the soldiers 'shooting had also been greatly improved. After all, tens of thousands of bullets had been thrown in. If it did not improve, Chu Yonglong would really curse.
With Chu Tianyun's investment, the clothing factory at Shuiping Weir was also built. There were a total of 50 looms, and they worked overtime day and night. The elderly aunties in the village all entered the clothing factory. They were very agile. In a day, the clothing factory could produce about 100 sets. Due to the use of assembly lines and piece-by-piece production methods, the production speed was not just a little bit faster.
The main designs of the clothing factories were personally designed by Chu Tianyun, and they were very popular in Europe. At present, the few factories were still in a state of loss, and the initial investment had not yet been repaid.
However, there were also good things. At least the lives of the villagers were getting better day by day. They could get a decent salary by joining Chu Tianyun's factory.
The villagers of Shuiping Weir liked Chu Tianyun and the 1st Battalion more by the day. The 1st Battalion even took the initiative to take on the responsibility of defending Shuiping Weir. The guards of Shuiping Weir had been disbanded, and many of the strong young men in the village wanted to join the 1st Battalion. However, Chu Tianyun had never relented. The expansion of the army was a major matter, and the pros and cons of this had to be weighed carefully.
It was June in Zhejiang, and the weather was very hot. However, the horizontal weir was located in a mountainous area, surrounded by dense forests, so it was relatively cool.
Chu Tianyun and Song Feijian were introduced by the village chief to an old master who knew how to make bird guns in a nearby village.
The blueprint of the Hanyang brand was in the hands of an old master craftsman. To be precise, this was not the original Hanyang brand. Chu Tianyun had already processed some of the details. Compared to the original Hanyang brand, it was even more outstanding.
For example, it was faster to resupply the magazine.
"Master, do you have the confidence to make the rifle on this?”
Mr. Li was the best craftsman in the area, and he was the first person Chu Tianyun visited.
"Made in Hanyang! These days, Battalion Commander Chu's actions at Shuiping Weir have broadened the horizons of the older generation. To be honest, my old woman also works in Battalion Commander Chu's clothing factory!”
Chu Tianyun had not expected that the influence of the clothing factory would actually expand to this extent. It seemed that he was right to pay a high salary. Only when he saw the real benefits would the common people work with him. Otherwise, no matter how much reason you had, no one would support you even if you were a saint!
"Battalion Commander Chu, it isn't difficult to manufacture this Hanyang factory. Unfortunately, we are in a poor mountain valley, where can we find the advanced equipment and machines?”
Hearing this, Chu Tianyun was extremely happy. He was afraid that no one would know how to do it. As for the machine, he naturally had a way.
"Old Master, don't worry. I'll think of a way to deal with this machine. I'll just have to trouble you in the future. Don't decline. Tianyun only wants to contribute to the prosperity of this country!”
"Battalion Commander Chu is so young, but he has such great ambitions. It seems that the old fellows of our generation can't keep up with the situation!”
"If there's anything I can use, I naturally won't decline!”
"Don't worry, old master. If I invite you, I'll give you a very high reward. At least it'll be better than hunting in this forest!”
"Haha, that's great!"
Chu Tianyun and the others laughed and chatted for a while before leaving. Chu Tianyun then found a few masters who knew how to make bird guns and explained his intentions to them one by one.
On the way back, Song Feijian was very curious about the design blueprint of Hanyang.
"Battalion Commander, are you the reincarnation of an immortal from heaven? Not only do you have a factory, but you also know how to make guns and know so much strange knowledge? Is it really like what the villagers said? Is Battalion Commander the savior sent by heaven to save the horizontal weir?”
The more Song Feijian spoke, the more excited he became. His saliva was flying everywhere as if he was praising himself.
Chu Tianyun just smiled. He couldn't tell him that he had transmigrated from the 21st century and that he had an industrial mother machine with him.
Even if he said it, no one would believe him.
"I only know that I, Chu Tianyun, will let the people of Huaxia live a good life in this life. I will take back everything that was stolen by the foreign devils!”
Chu Tianyun seemed to be saying this to Song Feijian, but also to himself!
Song Feijian's eyes gradually became blurry. At this moment, he felt that his battalion commander was definitely someone who could do great things. It was definitely right to follow him.
