The impact of iron and steel mills on the people of Guangxi, the influence of textile factories on the people of Guangxi, the impact of silk reeling factories on the people of Guangxi, the influence of cigarette factories and sugar mills on the people of Guangxi......

In Liangping, a place where grassroots farmers can't see it at all, the huge Guangxi province is already undergoing tremendous changes. Especially the eastern part of Guangxi, especially Liuzhou!

How many young adults are there in Liuzhou Mansion, which has a population of less than 500,000? Lakh? Or 150,000? How many young adults have been taken away by Qin Jun's series of actions over the years?

In just one industrial park outside the city, the number of workers now exceeds 10,000. The scale of textile factories and silk reeling factories, which are reversed in three or two shifts a day, and people are resting and stopping, is no longer the 10,000 spindles that started at the beginning. For example, the silk reeling factory, which has been pushed into the market for public offering, has expanded its capital four times in the past two years, reaching more than 30,000 spindles, and the number of workers in its factory alone has exceeded 2,000. Although there are a small number of female and child laborers, most of them are men.

More than 70 percent of the 10,000 workers in the entire Liuzhou Industrial Park are locals of Liuzhou Prefecture, and 90 percent of them are young and middle-aged. Counting the Liuzhou people in the Hongji Coal Mine, the number of Chinese in the latter has now exceeded the 30,000 mark. Of course, not all of them are laborers in the coal mines, but four or five thousand of them are the families of the laborers, some of them have planted grain and vegetables around Hongji City, some people have started small businesses, and Hongji Port also needs a large number of people, one-third of whom are from Liuzhou.

In addition to the industrial park, Hongji City, and Hongji Port, the other foundations of the Qin army are except for the old people from Hanzhong. The people of Liuzhou belong to the backbone of the latecomer group, the steel plant, the Shilu mining area, and the Qinzhou port. As well as the personnel and laborers recruited for the construction of railways and the erection of electric wires, a large number of Liuzhou people have appeared. The president said that in the past three years, Qin Jun has relied on industry to absorb at least 20,000 young people from Liuzhou!

How many young people are there in Liuzhou? 20,000 were dropped at once, and almost all of the 20,000 originally came from the countryside, which had a fatal impact on the original social structure of the entire rural area of Liuzhou.

From the perspective of Zhenning Town, that is, the land rent had to be reduced, and a large number of young laborers had to be outflowed, so that the number of tenants under the landlord was reduced, and the remaining tenants had to expand the area of land rented for farming. The lives of the people at the bottom of society have become better!

Although among the people at the bottom of Liuzhou. Like Zhenning Town, the power of the gentry and the power of the clan are still indestructible. However, 20,000 young adults can radiate at least 200,000 people, and because of the sudden rise of Liuzhou's commerce, the influence brought by it has made the Qin army deeply rooted in the entire Liuzhou.

In other regions, although the influence of the Qin army is not as strong as in Liuzhou, it is definitely not to be underestimated. In the entire Qin army industry, the scale of the labor force of 780,000 people has an impact on the whole province of Guangxi. It can be clearly seen from some of the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Department from the yamen of the political envoy and the yamen of the governor. In the past three years, the recovery of Guangxi's people's livelihood has been very fast. The reason for this is that the Qin army's industrial construction absorbed tens of thousands of displaced people in Guangxi, and the social benefits generated by 70,000 or 80,000 labor jobs brought too much convenience to Li Futai and others.

You must know that there are only about 4 million people in Guangxi today. The population is less than one-tenth of that of later generations. Of course, Guangxi's current agricultural development is far inferior to the 70 to 80 million mu of cultivated land in later generations. But at least 40 million acres of arable land are there, right? The per capita arable land is there. No matter how much of this land was in the hands of the landlord class, the land in the hands of the landlord class was always distributed to tenants for rent. At a time when the proportion of exploitation is roughly maintained at the red line of 60%. Judging from the situation of Guangxi's agriculture growing twice a year, the common people can still survive.

After the war subsided. Guangxi's resource population is on the fast track to self-recovery. Now with the emergence of the Qin military industry, it will add a propeller to the recovery of Guangxi's economy and people's livelihood.

It can be said that if outsiders look at the Qin army's series of Westernization movements in Guangxi Province from the perspective of the Westernization Movement, they will be perfect and a good medicine for today's China. Liu Xian will not be such a novice, the same thing will be promoted in Guangxi, where the economy is weak, and in the economically developed Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong, then two completely different results will be obtained.

Compared with the benefits of Qin Jun's foreign affairs in the eyes of the bigwigs outside, Liu Xian attaches more importance to the influence of these industries in Guangxi. Although the main force was still recruits from Hanzhong, he was very satisfied with the results of open recruitment in Guangxi Province and Hainan Island. During the one-month recruitment period of recruits in the two places, a total of more than 5,000 young and strong people took the initiative to join the army, including more than 1,000 people in Liuzhou Prefecture alone.

Soldiers, take the initiative to join the army. If you want to know whether the people of a place support a force or not, what could be simpler and clearer?

In November, a team of 100 people mixed and matched in the fleet of the Nanyang Shipping Company and entered Shanghai. These people are the elite of the rest of the battle, under the control of Wang Qing, and now the Shanghai station is getting bigger and bigger, and the location is becoming more and more important. Liu Xian considered that the day of his army would not be a few years away, and he had to do his best to enrich Shanghai's strength.

Of the more than 3,000 retired troops, less than 700 were transferred back to Hanzhong, and the rest entered Hongji City and Shilu. Nominally, it is naturally used as a mine protection security! The recruits of the Qin army this year have reached 10,000 troops. Today's Qin Army, the Hanzhong Left-behind Regiment, the Qi Dalin Department on Hainan Island, as well as the Hongji City Department and Liu Xian Headquarters are all constantly expanding.

According to expectations, in the next two years, Hongji City needs to train the strength of two garrison regiments, led by Liu Zhuolai. Qi Dalin of Hainan Island is also going to send out the strength of two garrison regiments, and Zhang Zhongkui of Hanzhong is going to expand the headquarters from a garrison regiment to an integrated brigade. Of course, this will not require them to expand their forces openly and unabashedly, but to cover them up in many ways and change pillars!

Whether it is Qiongzhou Town or Hanzhong Town, it is not too easy to engage in the means of stealing beams and changing pillars. On the surface, it is only necessary to maintain the backbone of the establishment, and when the war comes, those veterans who have retired from the army, and the recruits who are willing to follow the Qin army all the way to the black, as soon as the troops are filled, a garrison regiment and an integrated brigade can be pulled out to see the battle. What Liu Xian asked them to do was to prepare the source of troops and make a good shelf!

During this period, Hanzhong was the top priority. Liu Xian Guangxi raised troops, and people would not be able to enter Hanzhong for a while, but this place was too important, and Liu Xian really didn't want to give up until the last resort. According to his estimates, if you want to hold this piece of land in Hanzhong, you need at least one integrated brigade. But that's just one at least, plus Liu Xian doesn't just think about defense, he also thinks about offense. Thinking that after perfecting the defense of Hanzhong, there would even be surplus troops to contain the Qing army in Sichuan or Hubei. In this case, the upper limit of the strength of Hanzhong is not a reorganized brigade! The new barracks at Qingshiguan will be the largest source of strength in Hanzhong.

And in Guangxi, which is under the jurisdiction of Liu Xian's headquarters, there must be a force of 20,000 troops on the surface. According to the Qin army system, it is an integrated brigade and a garrison regiment. Among them, the garrison regiment was led by the Zhou army, and the recruits recruited this time, Liu Xian allocated 3,000 people, plus the battalion of the Zhou army headquarters, which was combined. And Liu Xian's own integrated brigade is of course a complete artillery battalion.

The Qinnan Iron and Steel Plant has been fully put into production, a large number of steel products have rolled off the production line, and the arsenal prepared by Liu Xian has been fully opened as early as June. Because there were still a large number of foreign technicians in the factory, Liu Xian did not change the production process, that is, the assembly line operation method he invented to improve the work ability of the Qin army. Therefore, the production capacity of the Qin Army Gunpowder Bureau is not yet satisfactory to Liu Xian, and the breech rifles can only be produced about 1,500 a month, and the cost price is still more than 11 taels, which is one-third less than that of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but it is also at least 10 percent higher than that of foreign countries, and the scrap rate is also a bit high, not less than 10 percent. There are 250 revolvers, 12 breech-loading steel cannons of 3-inch caliber, bullets and shells are the smoothest, and more than 3 million copper-shelled bullets can be produced every month, and more than 10,000 shells are issued, with an extremely high pass rate. The arsenal can produce a maximum of six-inch, or 150-caliber guns. No matter how big it is, the cannon steel will not work. Of course, Liu Xian is not satisfied with this kind of production capacity, and it will take two years for Qin Jun to fully change his clothes, just to prevent the assembly line operation method from leaking, and he has been patient.

The only thing that pleased Liu Xian was that the research of the mortar was quite smooth, and samples were produced before the end of the year, and the test firing effect was also good, only the rigid connection between the gun body and the gun carriage had some flaws, as long as there were more improvements next year, this thing could be equipped into the troops.

Then there is the production of Gatling machine guns and the production of matching ammunition, Liu Xian used 3,000 taels of silver, and Maisheng Foreign Company communicated with them, purchased production qualifications from Gatling, and then imported production machinery from the United States to form a production line of Gatling guns and ammunition. It can produce at least 15 rounds and 200,000 rounds of ammunition per month, and if it is fully exerted, the production capacity of machine guns can be doubled, and the scale of ammunition will reach one million. It's just that Liu Xian doesn't need it yet.

What he is most eager for now is not only the foreign technicians in the factory, to teach the technology as soon as possible, and get out of his own way, but also to design and produce a light machine gun like a Madsen machine gun. It's a pity that Qin Jun's current R&D strength is really meager, and it is too ambitious to design a successful light machine gun on his own before the trainees return from Europe. Now Qin Jun just wants to design a breech gun of his own, but it takes many days to achieve nothing...... (To be continued......) R1292
