In these days, many engineers have come from Hanyang Arsenal, Shanghai Arsenal, Tianjin Ordnance Factory, etc., which has also made Han Linchun's arsenal bigger and bigger.

Han Linchun pointed to the branch on the drawing and said, "The No. 1 Arsenal in the North now covers an area of 10 square kilometers, but in the future plan, the total area will reach 60 square kilometers. Now the workshops put into production include grenade production workshop, bullet production workshop, rifle production workshop, mold production workshop, gunpowder configuration workshop, 75 mm field gun production workshop, gun maintenance workshop, and technician training workshop. In fact, what really took shape was the production of molds, the manufacture of grenade handles and rifle handles, the grenade production workshop, and the gunpowder dispensing workshop. The rest is being commissioned, and small quantities of production are fine, but it will take two years for real large-scale production. ”

"Why? The Japanese don't really help us? Wang Maoru asked.

Han Linchun hurriedly said: "No, the Japanese are very serious, but we lack mature workers, especially in the gunpowder workshop, and the work of preparing gunpowder is not something that can be done by expanding workers." ”

Wang Maoru nodded, his natural way, the preparation of gunpowder, which is a dangerous process, careful more important than anything else, asked, "How many workers are there now?" ”

"There are 1,600 ordinary workers, there are 320 mature workers, there are 61 engineers, and there are 27 Japanese specialists." Han Linchun introduced, "The output of hand grenades, if the raw materials are sufficient, will reach 6,000 per day. ”

Wang Maoru immediately became happy and said, "You can match a brigade in five days." A month down...... The six brigades have all been allocated in two months, okay, good, the General Office of Han has a way. By the way, you're doing assembly work, right? ”

"Xiu Shuai also knows about assembly operations?" Han Linchun thought that his method was very novel, and he finally formulated the assembly line operation method after inspecting several major factories in the United States. I didn't expect the Overseer to know.

Wang Maoru laughed and said: "Before I became a soldier, I was a good hand in business, and the assembly line operation method in the United States was good. How could I not know. ”

After a round of inspection, Wang Maoru was very satisfied with the current development, and he didn't rest long after returning to the Overseer's Mansion. Governor Tang Shaoyi came. Wang Maoru respectfully invited Tang Shaoyi to take a seat, Tang Shaoyi was not too polite, sat on the sofa on the side, and then said, it turned out that Wang Maoru formulated the election, when he stayed in Heilongjiang last year, Wang Maoru had promised the people and gentry of Heilongjiang Province that they would re-elect parliamentarians this year, and now it is time to prepare. Wang Maoru slapped the table and said, "Yes, this matter is thanks to my uncle's reminder." ”

Tang Shaoyi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is not what I thought of. It was someone else who thought of it, and came to remind me that I was coming, but how is the number of members of the council determined? Will the Heilongjiang legislators sent to the National Assembly recall the re-election? ”

Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "There's no need, don't cut off their lives." Besides, they can't affect us. In this way, in the 53 counties of the six prefectures of Heilongjiang, there is a number of councillors in counties with less than 10,000 people, and if there are more than 10,000 people, the provincial councilors will be selected according to 10,000 to one, and the councilors will choose later. Members of parliament then vote for governor. Uncle, Heilongjiang is in ruins, and Uncle Lao is more attentive. During the election period, it is strictly forbidden to cheat on the ballots, and only adult men over the age of 16 have one vote on the ballots, and if the votes of the legislators exceed the votes of the voters, then our first attempt at democracy will be the biggest joke in the world. ”

Tang Shaoyi said excitedly: "Absolutely not, Xiusheng rest assured, in order to achieve democracy, I, Tang Shaochuan, will not hesitate to put the old bones on the line." So he took his leave and went back to the provincial government. Seeing that the dream of American-style democracy in his heart is gradually being realized, how can he not be excited to invest, this is his long-cherished wish that he has pursued for many years, but it has not been realized in Yuan Shikai, nor has it been realized in Sun Yat-sen, but he has let a junior of a Beiyang warlord give him the opportunity to create a zào to realize. Tang Shaoyi represents the intellectuals of the late Qing Dynasty who pursued nothing more than the strength of the country, and after witnessing the humiliation of foreigners by the Manchu government, these intellectuals sought various ways to pursue the strength of the country.

Tang Shaoyi, Liang Qichao, Kang Youwei, Song Jiaoren, Zhang Qian, Liang Shiyi, Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen, Duan Qirui, Yang Du, Zhang Taiyan, etc., all hope that the country will be strong, but the path they choose is different, and their personal ideas are different. Some people believe that the reason why China is not strong is because of the system, and if it realizes a democratic system, it will definitely be strong. Others agree that there is a problem with the system, but believe that a constitutional monarchy is more in line with China's national conditions, and that China should follow Japan's lead. Some people believe that a strong military is the foundation of a strong country, while others believe that a strong economy will make a strong country strong, and of course, some people believe that ideological enlightenment is the fundamental factor for a strong country.

In history, some officials who write history will either exaggerate or slander the achievements of these people, but they will not allow them to be objectively evaluated, and even arbitrarily revise history. They treat history as a bitch like him, and they love to do whatever they want, which is indeed shameless enough, even if they are bitches themselves, they still treat others as fools.

After Tang Shaoyi left, the family banquet in the Overseer's Mansion was also held, and Wang Peng invited the master over for dinner.

The grade of this banquet is not high, Wang Maoru invested all his money in the army, his family is very frugal, and there are few people in his family, three ladies and a godsister, counting him, a total of five people, sitting around the round table to eat together, six dishes, three meats and three vegetables plus a soup. The two children were held aside by the maid and watched the parents eat with curiosity. The ancients paid attention to eating without saying anything, but Wang Maoru was a traveler, and the eldest lady Ulan Tuya was a Mongolian woman, although the jade and jade cicada were beautiful and enchanting, but the cultural Cheng was not very high, and they did not know this rule. But my godsister Misaki is very elegant, polite, wearing an aqua blue student uniform, as if a plain lily is waiting to be released, and she doesn't speak, and sits quietly. She can communicate with the jade cicada who doesn't like to talk from time to time, Wang Maoru gave him a maid named Chunzhi, standing aside with a pair of eyes ghostly and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master, you taste this fish." Yuzhuo diligently sandwiched a piece of fish meat and put it in Wang Maoru's bowl, and when he saw that his sister didn't speak, he said, "Sister, didn't you see Ye Dule and couldn't speak, did you?" ”

Over there, Ulan Tuya ignored others and ate by herself, she was still angry with Wang Maoru, she drunk herself that night and took her body, it was really a shame, the three conditions have not been completed, and she ignored Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru is also very helpless, this little girl has a big temper, although she married to the Overseer's Mansion, but except for being entangled with herself when she was in Hulun City, she didn't let herself enter the door when she lived in the Overseer's Mansion, which was really ......

The jade cicada said "um", looked at Wang Maoru, and whispered: "Master, this fish has no spines." ”

Wang Maoru also sandwiched a piece of fish meat for her, the jade cicada smiled slightly, seeing that the jade eyes looked at herself pitifully, the big eyes of the water spirit seemed to bully her, and quickly sandwiched a piece of fish meat for her, and a piece of fish meat for Ulan Tuya. Wang Maoru was depressed, there are too many wives, it's not good, is it too good for women, Zhang Zongchang has countless wives, how can you do it?

Seeing that Misaki was silent, she lowered her head and ate slowly, as if she was very inferior after coming, so she asked, "Misaki, is your middle good?" ”

"Very good, thank you brother for your concern."

"Well, let's do that, I'll arrange for you to be transferred to the provincial public No. 1 Senior High School, how about it?"

"Thank you, you're in charge."

Wang Maoru said helplessly: "Misaki, you are now my godsister, I will take care of you instead of your brother, what do you want, what do you want to say, you can tell me, don't be so foreign." ”

Misaki nodded in greeting and said, "I'm fine, but I miss my hometown a little bit." ”

"Huh? A taste of home? ”

"Yes." Wang Maoru was confused, "Homesick?" ”

"I'm a little homesick, but there's no one at home, I just miss the place where I grew up, there is a saying in China called the fox dies in the first hill, that's how it feels." Misaki said seriously.

Wang Maoru also wanted to go to Japan and bring back Tomoya Kawada's mother and son, but it was too dangerous. After eating, when he walked to the door, he suddenly said to Wei Dongling: "You go and call Li Muyu." ”

"Yes." Wei Dongling replied.

Wang Maoru stretched his waist and stood in the courtyard, and now the martial artist of the courtyard is Jin Shanzhao, the second apprentice of Li Beicang, with a group of orphans and dead soldiers adopted by Wang Maoru, each of whom is extremely loyal to Wang Maoru, and when he saw Jin Shanzhao teaching them to take a horse, he walked over and said with a smile: "Master Jin, how are these little rabbit cubs?" Root bones are good, right? ”

"Dashuai." Jin Shanzhao hurriedly said, "It's not bad, I have been practicing since I was a child, and my foundation is firmly laid." ”

"Enshuai!" The little guards shouted together.

"Well, don't be lazy." Wang Maoru nodded at them, and then asked, "By the way, Master Jin, they are good at martial arts, how is their marksmanship?" ”

Jin Shanzhao hurriedly said: "Dashuai, they haven't touched the gun yet. ”

"Haven't touched a gun?" Wang Maoru glanced at the rifles piled up in the corner, it was very strange, Jin Shanzhao hurriedly said: "The bones are not firmly rooted, I didn't let them use them, there are no bullets in there, just standing guard in the Overseer's Mansion, there are guards outside, there are guards cavalry, there are police stations outside, and the gendarmerie, if the assassins really enter the Overseer's Mansion, their children are useless, so I didn't let them practice for the time being." ”

Wang Maoru nodded, this is true, let these team members stand guard in their own Overseer Mansion, firstly, the children are young and it is easy to cultivate loyalty, and secondly, the children are young, and it is not easy to produce any messy things, especially if there are more wives and more maids and mothers, if they are replaced by adult guards, it may not be possible that there will be no personal affairs of the maids and guards, and it will be difficult to deal with them at that time. Besides, being young also has the advantage of being young, and it is easy to cultivate.
