Chapter 36: The Ad Took Effect, Finally a 'Female Teacher' Came to Apply!
At this time, the entire Daqing City, around Zhang's industry, had already reached 45,000 workers!
In addition!
There were also nearly 10,000 bandits 'labor reformers' who had been captured!
Zhang Xue Ming also selected honest and hardworking strong laborers from among the workers.
He formed a police inspection brigade of 300 people!
This police force was a secondary armed force. Zhang Xue Ming did not equip them with Mosin-Nagant rifles, but instead provided them with 200 Hanyang-made rifles and 100 spears, batons, and Teng shields.
Now there were so many workers around Daqing, all of them were outsiders, and fights, petty thefts, and other incidents occurred from time to time!
The other day, two men quarreled over a woman, and it even resulted in a murder case.
It was fine that they killed someone, Daqing's coal mine was desperately short of manpower, so Zhang Xue Ming directly sent them to the black coal mine to be reformed through labor until they died.
However, he was really afraid that someone would burn down the newly built factory.
That would be a big deal.
In times of chaos, strict laws must be enforced.
This police brigade!
On the one hand, it was to supervise the safe operation of the city's factories.
On the other hand, it was to supervise the labor reformers!
With the expansion of production scale!
The number of labor reformers in the logging camp reached 1,000, and the quarry 3,000.
As for the underground coal mine with the highest death rate, there were more than 6,000 labor reformers.
They could produce 2,000 tons of raw coal every day.
The coal output was extremely high, but the casualties were also visible to the naked eye.
Almost every day, someone died of exhaustion or illness in the coal mine.
More than ten days ago, a section of the coal mine collapsed, and two work groups of labor reformers were completely wiped out.
This caused production capacity to drop to below 1,000 tons.
Moreover, the most important thing was that because Zhang Xue Ming's cavalry kept breaking mountains and destroying strongholds, all the bandit strongholds within a hundred miles of Daqing were cleared out!
Now, around Daqing, it seemed to have become a black hole for bandits.
No matter how famous the bandit was, once they came here, they would never return.
For a time.
Almost all the bandits on the road began to spread the word that Daqing was the Hall of Yama.
Whoever came would die!
However, the bandits were fewer, which made Zhang Xue Ming a little troubled.
"Why aren't any bandits coming to rob us?"
"These bandit labor reformers do the hardest work, and they don't even need to be paid, and if they die, they don't even get compensation!"
"If they don't come to our door, where can I find such high-quality workers?"
Zhang Xue Ming also considered sending troops to a farther place to suppress bandits.
However.
A cavalry company had only over 100 people. Although they were equipped with 'Water-Linked Pearls' and their firepower was extremely strong, they could not get artillery support when they went to suppress bandits hundreds of miles away!
Using light weapons to attack bandit strongholds would not only greatly reduce efficiency, but also result in significant casualties. This would be a bit of a lose-lose situation!
"Now, who can send me some prisoners?"
He had an infantry reinforced regiment of 4,500 people.
Zhang Xue Ming calculated that even if he encountered a division-level unit with more than 10,000 people, he could still beat them.
In the entire Songjiang Prefecture, only if the Russian and Japanese troops in Harbin joined forces and pressed forward could they fight him on an equal footing.
Just as Zhang Xue Ming was thinking about this.
Wang Yong Jiang, who was standing beside him, pushed open the door with a puzzled expression.
"Young Marshal, did you post recruitment ads in major newspapers across the country?"
"Yes...what's wrong?" Zhang Xue Ming was taken aback.
"A lady came to the recruitment office to apply, but she said she came from seeing the newspaper, and asked the recruitment clerk to reimburse her 1,000 oceans in travel expenses!"
Zhang Xue Ming's eyes widened.
This was the first time in a month.
Finally, there was a sucker...no, finally, a high-quality young woman came to his door!
Zhang Xue Ming asked the question he was most concerned about.
"What does the woman look like?"
"A celestial being reincarnated!"
"Then what are we waiting for, hurry, hurry, hurry! Take me to see her!"
Zhang Xue Ming almost ran out of the room in his slippers.
He was eager to meet her, it felt like he was going to welcome a distinguished guest with the utmost respect.
Wang Yong Jiang behind him just smiled wryly.
"Sigh! Young Marshal is great in everything, but...he really is a bit too fond of women!"
........
Before reaching the recruitment office outside the city of Daqing.
Zhang Xue Ming saw a beauty who stood out from the crowd.
She was wearing a peach-leaf green tailored cheongsam, with a pair of crimson high heels, and next to her was a rattan-wrapped suitcase.
She had a raven-black hair bun, almond-shaped eyes and peach-blossom cheeks, and her eyes were as gentle as spring mountains, her waist was as slender as a willow!
She was calm and composed, at ease with herself.
Even from afar, she was no less than a celestial maiden descending from the heavens!
"Damn! There really is a beautiful woman coming to apply! How desperate for money must she be!"
Actually, Zhang Xue Ming had regretted a bit after posting the advertisement.
In this era, girls with knowledge and talent basically came from wealthy families.
After all, poor families would never send their daughters to school!
The 'salary' he offered seemed very high.
But in the eyes of these rich girls, it probably wouldn't be considered much.
Moreover!
The Chinese people are known for their reserve.
Even if some big families really took a fancy to this son of the Northeast King.
If they wanted to make a marriage.
They wouldn't send their daughter to his door so brazenly.
Wouldn't it be better to sit back and wait for the right price?
Therefore, Zhang Xue Ming was also curious about the woman in front of him who looked like a daughter of a wealthy family.
What was the reason she came to Northeast China?
"Hello, I am Zhang Xue Ming! Are you here to apply?"
"Yes?"
"The conditions in the newspaper?"
"I meet all of them!"
Zhang Xue Ming was stunned, he didn't expect this girl to be so straightforward.
"Then do you have any other conditions?"
Faced with this question, the girl in front of him, who was so beautiful that she didn't look human, covered her stomach and smiled apologetically.
"Sir, can we...eat first?"
