" Sir, if there's anything you need, just tell me."
Qin Ming smiled,"Why are you so happy?" Alright, now that we have stabilized the village, I plan to start expanding the army."
" Right now, we have 500 people in our army, one battalion. I plan to expand it to a regiment. Because we don't have heavy firepower like cannons, a regiment will temporarily be three infantry battalions."
"In other words, a regiment has about 1500 people, with appropriate addition or removal of special troops.
This was very realistic.
Because Qin Ming didn't have a cannon.
This was also the reason why the reinforced company only had 100 people at the start.
This was because the kitchen squad, artillery squad, and some communication squads did not have them.
The rest were all combat platoons.
At the mention of expanding the army, Lin Chang was delighted.
"Really? Sir, are we really going to expand the army?”。
"Are you just going to start recruiting soldiers?”。
This meant that they had started recruiting local soldiers.
Qin Ming nodded,"That's right. Although Li Maoshan in the county town is unlikely to attack the village, it's better to be prepared."
" Therefore, I plan to expand the army to a regiment. We have weapons and military supplies, and I plan to take a company of soldiers from your battalion to serve as officers for the other two battalions."
You don't have any objections, do you?"
Lin Chang didn't have any objections. On the contrary, he was very happy. After all, even if the army was expanded, wasn't the position of regiment commander still his?
Moreover, they were only sending out a company, not adding another.
It didn't affect the combat strength of his battalion at all.
"Of course I have no objections, sir. Who do you plan to appoint as the leader?”。
Lin Chang asked in embarrassment.
Lin Haiyang rolled his eyes at him.
Lin Haiyang didn't care about Lin Haiyang rolling his eyes. Lin Chang looked at Qin Ming.
However, Qin Ming didn't say it out loud. He was also a little nervous.
After all, Zhang Ming, Fei, and even the captain of the Heavy Firepower Company, Zhang He, were very suitable.
These people had the ability to command a division, an army, or even an entire army.
Chief Lin was more outstanding than them, but that was at a higher level. He was at the military level. There was a clear gap between him and them.
Qin Ming looked at Lin Chang.”。
Lin Chang pretended not to know,"This, Zhang Ming and Sun Fei are both pretty good, and they have the ability to command a regiment. Zhang He is in the heavy firepower company, and logically speaking, his position shouldn't be easily changed."
"Do you want Zhang Ming and Fei to choose one?”。
Qin Ming and Lin Haiyang looked at each other and laughed.
Qin Ming pointed at Lin Fan and smiled,"You, you, if you really don't want to be the leader, I'll let Zhang Ming and Fei be the leader."
As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, Lin Chang hurriedly said,"Of course not. Those two guys are really rebellious. They dared to fight me for the position of leader."
Hehe, Sir, I'm just being humble."
Looking at Chief Lin's silly smile, Qin Ming smiled and said,"You should be humble, but your personality is easy to make things worse."
Lin Haiyang held his stomach and held back his laughter for a long time.
Lin Changbai rolled his eyes at him." What are you laughing at? What does our military's internal affairs have to do with a government official like you?"
These two fellows might not like each other now.
Actually, it was because the two of them had a good relationship.
However, there were many things that had nothing to do with relationships. They could argue until their faces turned red.
This was also what Qin Ming was happy to see.
After all, they had to express their opinions and provide Qin Ming with a new idea.
It was another matter whether they adopted it or not.
The three of them made a detailed plan for what they would do in the military camp.
Lin Haiyang began to work on this matter after returning to the village.
Zhang Ming and Fei also received Lin Chang's order and started to recruit soldiers.
Lin Haiyang brought a squad of soldiers to Wang Youcai's house.
In the guest hall, Wang Youcai knew what Lin Haiyang meant.
He frowned.
" This, Mayor Lin, our Wang Family actually doesn't have much land on that piece of land. It's only about ten acres of land. We don't need you to redeem it. We can just give it to the town council."
" But the Zhang family has 80 Mu of land here. I'm afraid they won't let go so easily."
Wang Youcai didn't care about the dozen acres of land.
Although that place was indeed quite fertile.
However, it was worth it to exchange for Lin Haiyang's goodwill.
On the other hand, the Zhang family's 80 mu of land was almost half of their family's land. They would definitely not agree.
Lin Haiyang smiled and said,"I'll explain this to Mr. Zhang. Since you're so generous, it won't be good if we don't do something."
" Our plan is to set up some factories here, such as a match factory, fertilizer factory, and some textile factories. In the future, you can obtain the wholesale rights of the corresponding products from our factories."
Wang Youcai was stunned for a moment.
They thought that Lin Haiyang wanted to take the land for himself, but who knew that it was still useful.
Mayor Lin, opening a factory is a good thing, but it's not an easy thing to do in this year."
This old man's family also has a business in this area, but the cloth, matches, and other things we sell are all imported from the foreigners."
There are factories in this area in the country, but we don't have the chance to buy them. They don't lack them either."
" The cost of setting up a factory isn't a small sum.
Is what you said true?"
It wasn't that Wang Youcai was doubting him, but that anyone who could open a factory in this era wasn't someone ordinary people could do.
They needed skills, equipment, skilled workers, and most importantly, a background.
What did Lin Haiyang have?
Therefore, Wang Youcai wanted to persuade him out of goodwill.
However, Lin Haiyang waved his hand and said," It's been so long. Do you think I'm a person who talks big?”。
" Alright, this is the agency contract. Take a look. If there's no problem, you can sign it."
The assistant sitting next to Lin Haiyang took out a contract from his briefcase.
Wang Youcai didn't expect Lin Haiyang to be serious.
"Mayor Lin, do you really want to open a factory?”。
Wang Youcai still couldn't believe it.
It was mainly because all the people who had opened factories over the years had deep backgrounds.
If not, they would have been eaten up by the warlords long ago.
Moreover, the technology and machinery needed had to be bought from abroad.
This was not something a small town mayor could do.
Lin Haiyang also knew the current situation and didn't waste any time." Don't worry about this. Take a look at this contract. If there's no problem, we'll sign it."
"And won't you know if it's true or not?”。
You probably won't believe me no matter what I say now, right?"
Wang Youcai smiled awkwardly.
He really didn't believe it.
He picked up the contract in his hand and looked at it.
Fortunately, there weren't any overbearing clauses. Everything was quite normal.
After reading it a few times, he thought that he wouldn't lose out anyway. He signed the contract after a few swipes.
