Heavy Industry Empire

Ask for flowers, ask for collections.The site of the cement factory was selected. At the foot of this mountain, except for the land occupied by the road construction committee, the rest are barren mountains and wilderness.Back at the base, Liu Tianling immediately started to fight the drought. He originally planned to collect all the important buildings in the base, as well as the fire pumps of the factories in the industrial park. If you set fire, then there is no water pump to put out the fire, so you have to use the base of the Red Police Barracks for production, which saves money. One ton of steel and several hundred catties of copper produced a total of 500 diesel water pumps.The water hose is naturally used as a fire hose, and each pump is equipped with a [-]-meter hose.

After staying up all night, Liu Tianling's eyes couldn't bear it when it was almost dawn, so he fell asleep casually in the manufacturing workshop of the barracks.At dawn, a resounding wake-up call sounded in the militia soldiers' camp.Liu Tianling rubbed his eyes and came to the playground.

"Get me the second company commander."

"Yes." The speed of the guards was still very fast, and they quickly called Huawei.

"Assemble your team, choose a hundred new recruits, each in groups of two, take our diesel water pumps, and go to water the villagers." Liu Tianling ordered.

"What, did I hear you right? The machine gun company is helping the fellow water the fields?"

"That's right, I brought my fellows with me when I watered the ground, and I also had a flag." On the flag was written Lunan Militia, Drought Resistant and Seedling Protection.

Huawei was very puzzled and stammered, "What, commander, I'm not disobedient. I just don't understand why we are asked to water the fields with machine guns, and how much do we charge for an acre of land?"

Liu Tianling shook his head: "If you don't charge money, even if you draw 100 people, I will take the guards out to help water the fields. Now is the time when corn is growing. If the drought dies, the people's autumn grain production will be greatly reduced. .”

"If you don't charge money, you will lose money." Hua Wei said.

At this time, Jia Cai also got up, changed into a clean gown, and said with a smile: "If you don't charge money, you will definitely lose money, but this is only a short-term loss. In the long run, it will be a huge profit."

Huawei shook his head, not understanding.Liu Tianling smiled and said, "This is a military order, you just have to carry it out."

"Yes." Hua Wei took the military order and went to execute it.

Liu Tianling also began to prepare. The guards brought [-] water pumps to the Fengmao area where irrigation was most needed. There were hilly land and barren land.

"Everyone is separated, where are we going?" Chai Fei asked.

In the end, there were still two diesel pumps and more than ten hoses left.Liu Tianling said: "Don't forget that we still have unofficial militia members in Zaoli Village. Since they are militia members, we must take care of them and come over to water them."

Before reaching the entrance of the village, there was a gun tower on the left and right sides of the road, and the people on it shouted: "What are you doing, stop, and pass the name." , it is natural to ask.

"It's the head of the Lunan militia group, Liu, who came to help the villagers water the land." Luo Kebian rode over and said, waving the big flag in his hand.

"Hey, it turns out that Captain Liu, come in quickly, we'll report right away." The man said and led everyone into the village. Now Erniang Liu has also built a large thatched house in the woods at the entrance of the village. temporary resting place.

A moment later, Liu Erniang clasped her trouser legs, wore a pair of sandals, and her feet were still covered with mud. She clasped her fist at Liu Tianling from a long distance: "I'm sorry, Captain Liu. I was just watering the ground by the river."

"Hehe, it's a good thing to irrigate the land to fight drought. Today, I specially brought two water pumps to help everyone irrigate the land."

"Where is the water pump?" Several Zaoli Village team members looked around, seemingly looking for a water pump.

"Here, these two are." Liu Tianling pointed to the two small water pumps under his feet.

Liu Erniang laughed after seeing it: "Haha, the waterwheel built in our village in Hebei is as high as a two-story building. What's the use of such a small water pump?"

"No, no. You can't just compare the size. It depends on the endurance and the power. Don't look at it as small, but it's strong, fierce, and it's pouring on the ground."

Naturally, everyone didn't believe it. They had never heard of a water pump.At that time, most of the farming was dependent on the sky for food, without pesticides and fertilizers, and even high-yield grains such as corn could only produce four to five hundred catties per mu.If it can be poured once, the people will naturally be happy.

Five or six soldiers from the riverside guards hurriedly adjusted the water pump, the suction pipe was connected to the water, and the discharge pipe led to the ground.Everyone was waiting to see the fun, Liu Tianling said: "Everyone, look out, I'm going to start, and you will see a water hose leading to the ground in a while." He took the key and turned it on on the diesel engine, bang Bang bang bang, the diesel engine made a slight noise and turned quickly.Exhale, the suction pipe sucked up a lot of water.

"Look, look, look, the plumbing unit is up." Everyone said in amazement.

A large stream of water also sprayed out from the outlet pipe and flowed into the ditch on the edge of the ground.

"There's water, there's water. There's a lot of water," shouted the man on the edge of the ground.

Everyone ran over one after another. When Liu Erniang came over, she saw that the water in the water belt was gushing out, and the waves were blooming.

"It's amazing. There is such a machine. The leader made it there."

"Bought from abroad, this machine produces [-] tons of water per hour and can irrigate dozens of acres of land a day. Our ancestors built waterwheels before others, but they did not develop in modern times. Now they have built waterwheels. We have forgotten to develop all kinds of advanced machines." Liu Tianling said.

Liu Erniang was confused and didn't know what the head of the group was talking about: "I often hear people say that the fast guns and machine guns we use are all made by foreign devils with big noses, and even the small noses on the east side are amazing. Why are you behind?"

Liu Tianling sighed. This is a true portrayal. In 1926, the land of China was in chaos, and the development of warlord melee was slow. "Did you see those children in the river? What are they doing? Fishing and swimming. Foreign children have been in school for several years when they are their age. If they are not educated, they will fall behind."

A villager next to him said: "The head of the group is too right. Small vendors who sell things without culture are deceiving people."

The crowd turned on another water pump to water the land to fight the drought.

Liu Erniang thought thoughtfully, and said, "Even if I suffer from being uneducated, otherwise I wouldn't be living in a small ravine. I have an idea, do you know if it's feasible?"

"Just say something, it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong."

"I think the head of the group still has some spare money. Why don't we use some to build a few schools? The militia doesn't need to spend too much. Even if they take the lead, the people in the villages are also donating some. So the schools won't be built?"

Liu Tianling said: "The school is easy to build, and I am not bad at the money. But the key is that there are no good teachers. Most of the local teachers are half a bottle of water, and they can teach something. I was thinking about how to train a group of teachers first. That's the root."

"I have a cousin, Fang Yuhan, who is studying at a university in Beiping as a teacher. She just graduated this year. That kind of knowledge should be in the past. She just graduated this year."

Liu Tianling was overjoyed: "It's so good, write a letter to call her back, the salary is not a problem, I will pay her a salary higher than that in Beiping."

Liu Erniang shook her head: "They don't care about money, what they are chasing is ideals, let me write a letter and try."

This trip was not in vain. If it is possible to recruit a college student from Beiping to train some teachers, it will not be a problem.

Liu Tianling checked the defense of Zaoli Village again. There were four blockhouses at the entrance of the village, and there was a low stone wall about two meters high.At present, Liu Erniang has trained 60 people, with a total of more than 50 rifles and two light machine guns.The people and folks in several nearby villages also greeted each other, and they advanced and retreated together, and met the enemy together when bandits came.

Jia Cai, who had been following around Liu Tianling without expressing his opinion, suddenly became agitated: "Leader, I was wrong. I originally wanted to do exaggerated publicity for the leader, but now it seems that there is no need for it. I just need to tell the leader truthfully. , it is enough to write down the deeds of the militia, and I propose to start a newspaper immediately."

"Running a newspaper? Our place is a bit small." Liu Tianling was taken aback. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about running a newspaper, but that there was only such a small base in such a small town, so where would the newspaper be distributed.

"No, no. Although a town is small, there are more than 3 people. There are always a few literate people in each village. Our newspapers are distributed for free. At the same time, we can publish some of our advertisements, such as job recruitment. , Such as new product releases, etc. Printing one issue a week, [-] copies per issue is enough.”

Liu Tianling is so sweaty, I didn't expect someone like Kong Yiji to distribute newspapers for free and make money from advertising fees. I really don't know how this person's brain grows. Could it be that he also traveled through time.

"If you want to do it, do it well, give it a good name, design it, and leave this matter to you, let's start."

When Liu Tianling was busy watering the land to fight the drought and recruiting troops for training, the mayor of Sang Village, Duan Xuewen, was at the mayor's mansion. The mayor, Duan Xuewen, was wearing silk clothes, and a maid was next to him to help fan the wind. Mrs. Duan was sitting opposite, she was not very old, she looked 37 or [-] years old.

"Hey, I didn't expect it. I originally planned to form a militia to fight against Sang Erquan's militia, but I didn't expect it." Duan Xuewen took a sip of water gracefully and put it on the table.

"Didn't expect anything?" Mrs. Duan asked.

"At first, I thought that this Liu Tianling could gather seven or eighty people and thirty or fifty guns, and it would be enough to help me maintain peace. Who knew that he was so capable, and he was not the one who planned to open more than a dozen factories in one go. Ordinary people, look at his fast gun, I asked, only Germany has it, maybe this kid has connections in Germany."

"He has connections. He's amazing. What's the point of you being the mayor?" Madam sighed.

"No, no, this Liu Tianling is really amazing. Not only does he open a factory, but he also plans to build a school and a hospital. Maybe he can make a difference in his career. I plan to help him with all my strength. I am only 38 years old, and I am a good person to make contributions. At that time, it would be good if I could assist him." Duan Xuewen said.
