After returning to the base, Lu Yao immediately organized a standard battalion of 330 people. The first company was deployed in Neijiang, the second company was deployed in Huili Prefecture, and the third company stayed behind to protect the camp.
At the moment, he did not have any equipment. The equipment was still on the way. The Spanish army could not use those army equipment, but Lu Yao could use them. This was bought for him, but he would probably have to wait until early April.
However, for now, it was just the right time to recruit people first. Although Kuijun only gave Lu Yao the title of Commander Qian, which was an official position between battalion commander and regiment commander in modern times, Lu Yao did not care about him. He did it for the sake of military power. Otherwise, if weapons came in the future, he would just leave them there? It was not too realistic. One had to know that Lu Yao had bought equipment that could equip 100,000 people.
On February 19th, 1898, there were many stalls on the streets of Neijiang County and Huili State. There were long flagpoles beside them with beautiful pictures hanging on them. Xing Hai Company was hiring, regardless of gender. The monthly salary was two taels of silver, and food and accommodation were included.
There was also a stall next to it. Neijiang County, Huili Prefecture, Green Camp was recruiting soldiers. After passing the inspection, they would receive four taels of silver a month and five taels of silver on the same day.
This immediately caused a sensation. Two taels of silver a month was a huge sum of wealth. Therefore, all the stalls were surrounded by people, and they were all chattering and asking about something.
Fortunately, there were few people in Huili State. There were many people in Neijiang. However, Lu Yao and the others were not limited to recruiting people in these two places. They surrounded Chengdu, Ya 'an, Leshan, Yibin, Ziyang, Suining, and other places. They did not refuse anyone. As long as you signed up, you would be brought to a headquarters in each place. Even those who were not selected would be given 50 wen. This time, it was really boiling.
The entire Sichuan was in an uproar. Lu Yao's recruitment progress was also progressing at a rapid pace. In just one week, they had recruited 27682 workers and 5340 Green Camp soldiers. In other words, Lu Yao and the others had recruited more than 30,000 people in one week. This progress was really fast.
However, this was only after he had cleared the dungeon. Lu Yao had installed the base's own detection equipment in every place. Although the equipment was not enough, he would still use the all-terrain vehicle to carry out the detection in an emergency.
This kind of automatic detection device was mainly used to detect the physical condition of workers and soldiers, and to make a list of notes with Chang'e. This was the first time that big data had improved in this world.
However, the result was very bad. Most of the people in this era had some adverse effects. They were not tall, but there were no infectious diseases. This was beyond Lu Yao's estimation.
The recruitment process was still ongoing and would not stop. This job would continue because there would be more and more equipment in the future, and more and more workers would be needed. Therefore, early training was very important. Even if people waited for machines, they could not wait for machines. Time waited for no man.
After the physical examination, everyone would be given a bar of soap, a towel, toothpaste, toothbrush, and other things. As they were the first batch, they had to take on the heavy responsibility of construction, military training, and learning to read at night. The work was very heavy, but Lu Yao had no choice.
However, Lu Yao took out the subconscious learning machine in the base. Led by a professional Bio-Human, he began to learn various skills and cultural knowledge.
This busy work lasted until March. The machines ordered from the country finally arrived. The Bio-Humans in the base quickly started their work. What they needed the most now was the bedding factory, cement factory, brick factory, and so on. The things that Lu Yao and the others bought in the past could still last for a while, but they still felt happy from being able to produce blood.
Speaking of which, learning machines were old objects from the 23rd century. In the future, they were imbued with memories. However, Lu Yao and the others did not have the ability to produce such imbuing equipment. Even learning machines were made with tools and raw materials from the base with great difficulty.
A total of 20 of them had been built, and now, four of them were taken out. They were fully activated to instill all kinds of knowledge into these guys. Now, there was no longer any distinction between soldiers and workers. They were all construction workers.
Leveling the road, building houses, digging foundations, dredging rivers, transporting materials, and learning cultural knowledge under the illumination of kerosene lamps at night. Tell me, why are you so obedient?
Hmph, that was because Lu Yao had imprinted a "chip" on every worker he recruited. This was made from the materials of the base in the beginning. Now, only a small portion was left. These were the stronger versions. In the future, the ones he produced would only have a subconscious effect on those who had the chip.
Lu Yao was also doing this for stability. Otherwise, how could it be possible to stabilize 30,000 people with just 300 people? Moreover, if you asked them to do this, they probably wouldn't agree.
But this was good too. What did it feel like to have 30,000 people working together? In just a month, more than 10 factories of various sizes had been set up in Neijiang. Of course, these were all needed for production, such as towels, bedding, clothing, and various daily necessities, construction supplies. Of course, steel was not available, and those needed to be purchased.
For these things, Lu Yao even spent millions of taels of silver to buy 20 inland transport boats. After all, Neijiang had developed water transport, and it was close to Chongqing. The sugar industry here was also very developed, so transportation was very important. In addition, he himself needed a lot of supplies, so he bought so many transport boats at once.
It was a blow to the water transport in Sichuan and Chongqing. Although nothing had happened yet, there were undercurrents brewing in the dark. Lu Yao didn't care. It was already the end of March. The equipment from Europe had already entered the mainland and was currently being shipped to Sichuan. It was estimated that they would get the equipment and materials at the beginning of next month, so construction was the most important thing at the moment.
On April 8th, the first batch of supplies and firearms that Lu Yao had been waiting for finally arrived. There were all kinds of steel equipment, chemical equipment, 20,000 rifles, 1 million rounds of ammunition, 100 heavy machine guns, and 50 cannons. The team could finally be pulled together.
At this time, after one and a half months of intense construction, the employees 'dormitory area, the factory area, and the connecting roads were all in place.
Lu Yao waved his hand." Start the next plan!”
