"Eighth Young Master, it's our fortune to be able to come to Anping Village. Li Fu, on behalf of the 30,000 villagers of Anping Village, welcomes Eighth Young Master!”
The township head, Li Fu, a dozen gentry, and hundreds of onlookers bowed at the same time.
Yes.
Zhang Tianqi looked around and nodded with satisfaction. These people looked good. They should be able to eat and wear warm clothes.
He got off the horse and carried Zhang Jialing down. Then, he took a few steps forward and helped Li Fu up.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. I'll be stationed at Gongchang Ridge from now on.”
Long-term garrison?
Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces. They had come and were not leaving.
"Eighth Young Master, what factory are you going to invest in Gongchangling?" Li Fu asked curiously.”
" Steel factory, arsenal."
"Like the Fengtian Munitions Factory?"
"Yes."
Zhang Tian pointed at the mountains by the Tang River in the distance.""I want to build a large industrial zone in Wanfeng Valley one after another, mainly for smelting steel and producing weapons and ammunition. At that time, Anping will be planned to become a county town, and the population will become more and more dense.”
“……”
He was stunned.
This piece was so used that people didn't know what to say.
One had to know that Wanfeng Valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides. The area was about 600 hectares and 10,000 mu of land that could be developed.
"Eighth Young Master, this valley is filled with towering trees and barren rocks. It will be very difficult to raze it to the ground to build a house…"
Do I even need you to say that?
No matter how difficult it is, it can't stop me from using the system.
Zhang Tian nodded without a care."I know. Just take care of Anping Village. You don't have to worry about anything else."”
"Oh right, also help me spread the news now. Recruit a large number of mining workers. 30 yuan per month for adult men and 20 yuan for healthy women.”
"Eighth Young Master, isn't this salary a little too high?”
"It's not considered high."
In the past, he had read a piece of information.
Donghai in 1928, No. 2 stalk rice was 14 yuan per stone.
One bag of flour was 3.30 yuan, one catty of noodles was 0.07 yuan, one catty of pork was 0.28 yuan, one catty of cotton was 0.48 yuan, one load of coal was 0.14 yuan, one catty of kerosene was 0.06 yuan, one bar of soap was 0.05 yuan, one box of cigarettes was 0.036 yuan, one catty of tea was 0.23 yuan, one catty of live chicken was 0.37 yuan, one fresh egg was 0.027 yuan, one catty of soybean oil was 0.19 yuan, one catty of salt was 0.043 yuan, one catty of white sugar was 0.096 yuan, and one foot of fine cloth was 0.107 yuan.
A stone was 200 catties, and a bag of flour was 44 catties.
Thirty yuan was enough to buy food and other non-staple food for a family. This was the calculation of the price stability in recent years. Once a war broke out, the price would take off.
"There's no need to say anything else. Do as I say!”
After thinking about it, Zhang Tian looked at Zhang Jialing and continued,"Jialing, let Village Chief Li handle the recruitment, but the industrial zone still needs to recruit a group of guards. Write the flyers and I'll get Dynasty to send people to copy and distribute them.”
"Hmm…I'll write that we're recruiting factory guards. They'll receive a salary of 30 dollars a month. They'll need to be 18 - 28 years old, 1.68 meters tall, and have never smoked or fallen ill. Recruit as many as you can.”
"Make sure to note that the guards are only militia armed to escort supplies and protect the factory. They are not the army and will not participate in the war!”
Zhang Jialing, who was taking notes in a small notebook, quickly wrote them down.
"Brother Han Xing, aren't you recruiting workers?" she asked in surprise after Zhang Tian finished speaking.”
"I'll arrange that."
Zhang Tian replied perfunctorily and turned to Wang Chao.""Leave twenty people to protect Jialing. The rest of you, follow me to Wanfeng Valley.”
"Yes, sir!"
shua
"Jialing, the ten thousand yuan we brought here will be used to distribute flyers and accommodation.”
"Village Chief Li, please work harder and find a few hundred young people with agile legs to help me distribute flyers around.”
Li Fu was flattered. He bowed and said,"Eighth Young Master, you've made this old man lose his life. It's my honor to be able to share your burden. I'll definitely do what I've told you to do."”
"That's good. I won't mistreat you if you do it.”
"Yes, sir!"
………
The sun was setting.
Zhang Tian and more than 50 guards stood on top of a mountain and looked at the huge Wanfeng Valley not far away.
"Not bad, this place is in a good location.”
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, there was only one road to the east. The large mineral vein marked by the system was located in the western barren mountain. Moreover, it was very easy to mine this shallow and rich iron ore.
"System, how do you explain the sudden appearance of the steel factory and the arsenal?”
This question had troubled him for two days and he had not had the time to ask.
This was a steel factory with an annual output of two million tons. It took up a lot of space and could not be hidden at all.
There was also the Munitions Factory, which occupied a large area.
If he suddenly appeared, he would definitely attract countless people to surround him because this was completely a miracle.
"Ding! Host, don't worry! Have you heard of the term 'existence is reasonable'?"
"No, I haven't."
“…………”
The system, which had almost crashed, fell silent.
"Ding, it means that after the steel factory and the arsenal materialize, I will use a special method to make people accept that these are the results of your years of work.”
"But I'm only sixteen years old. How can such a huge industrial zone be completed in a year or two?”
What he said made sense!
Ding!" Thank you host for correcting this system's wrong perception. This time, I will use my special privilege to help you change the thinking of everyone in this world. Let them think that this industrial zone has always been built by you in secret. In the future, if they buy a factory, they will need you to build the factory and I will only sell the equipment.”
“……”
Change his mind?
[That's too far-fetched, but you're the system. You have the final say.]
"Alright, let's start…"
