Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 23 23 A Blueprint for the Future

In fact, Tang Mo did know the current situation, and it was not much better than before he went to Earl Fishereau.

He was really poor before, but now he is no longer poor, but the resources he can use are even fewer.

At that time, although he didn't have so much money in his hand, he couldn't even pay the workers' wages, but he was not in debt after all.

But what about him now?A considerable sum was actually owed--he had spent all the money the earl had ordered for guns, and had not produced a single rifle.

That is to say, Tiger, the officer sent by the Earl to keep an eye on him, has seen the K1 quick gun and knows that Tang Mo is not a liar. Otherwise, Tang Mo might have been arrested and sent back to Northridge.

How to produce enough weapons as soon as possible with everything in hand to supply the Earl is a problem that Tang Mo must solve.

In other words, Tang Mo had to appease Tiger no matter what, so that he could continue to tolerate his misbehavior.Otherwise, he will go bankrupt and lose everything in front of him.

"Use our current shooting range and the open space next to it! Build a factory here first!" Tang Mo thought for a while and gave him a solution to the problem.

The land in the factory is flat, and because of the previous layout, there is actually a lot of room left.For example, there is a small weapon shooting test range in the factory. The place is not small, and it can be used to build a new factory building.

In addition, there are some vacant spaces where materials can be piled up, and there are vacant spaces right after the factory enters the gate, all of which are leveled or even compacted.Building houses in these places can indeed save a lot of time in leveling the land.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Mo continued, "Then use the wasteland outside as a shooting range. Anyway, it's just experiments and training, so it doesn't matter if it's uneven!"

Having said that, he looked at Tiger who was standing beside him holding a water glass, and begged, "Tiger, let your soldiers help too, I need to hire some workers to build a factory building, but it doesn't take so much to build a wooden house." Multi-professional craftsmen, just make do with it."

While talking, he gestured with his hands, trying to explain to Tiger as much as possible: "In fact, all temporary wooden houses don't necessarily have to be occupied by people, hoarding materials, and putting some useless junk. .So it doesn’t need to be too strong, as long as it can simply shelter from wind and rain, that’s enough.”

"In addition to the guards, there are two resters, and the remaining four go to help! Clear the land, and then help my workers build houses." Tang Mo finished these words almost in a commanding tone.

Tiger did not have any objection to asking soldiers to help build houses. In fact, many soldiers were ordered to repair the barracks on weekdays, which was very common in this era.

Many soldiers were craftsmen before serving, some were workshop workers, some were farmers, some were poets, and some were builders.

So there is nothing wrong with asking these soldiers to help, but Tiger cares about other things.

So he reminded Tang Mo, "Yes... But, I must remind you, my lord! You have almost used up all the funds and raw materials of the first batch, but you haven't produced a K1 quick gun yet. !"

"If you continue like this, then I will also fulfill my duty and inform the Earl of everything that happened here." He said firmly, his eyes fixed on Tang Mo.

Tang Mo smiled wryly, and then said the same thing: "I'm aware of this problem! Tiger! So I plan to start production in the near future."

"The workers in the original workshop continued to maintain production. With the blessing of the steam engine, they will soon be able to produce a sufficient number of barrels..." He then gave a fairly reasonable arrangement.

"Although we don't have much steel left, it is still enough to produce dozens of barrels. Therefore, in a short period of time, we can produce more than 20 K1 fast guns. These weapons are enough for you to hand over to the Earl, Right?" Tang Mo asked with a smile while looking at Tiger.

Tiger was a little nervous, because this was the first time he heard from Tang Mo the plan to produce the K1 rifle after he came to Bunas.

So he nodded subconsciously, and agreed with some uncertainty: "Yes, yes."

"When these raw materials are used up, the Earl's second batch of supplies should arrive! At that time, I assure you, I will fully produce K1 fast guns. I can produce more than 200 of these guns in a month. By then Everything will be fine." Tang Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, because as long as Tiger can be appeased, he can continue to do his own thing.

"I hope so." Matthews let out a soft exclamation from the side. He felt that his steam engine was enough now.

The rest, that little bit of dissatisfaction, was also because Tang Mo didn't immediately put all his energy into improving and developing the steam engine.

In his opinion, improving this machine that ushered in a new era is definitely the most worthwhile thing to do right now.As long as the steam engine can be truly popularized, the whole world will surely usher in a great revolution!

Frankly speaking, as a skilled worker, Matthews' vision is indeed sufficient.He saw at a glance the importance of this steam engine in the history of industry.

It's a pity that he didn't know that in Tang Mo's data reserve, this machine was just the most primitive machine that opened the prelude to the industrial revolution.

"Now, let's continue talking about the land reclamation! I need your people to build simple sheds on the new land, and reclaim as much wasteland as possible near the border." After appeasing Tiger, Tang Mo once again shifted the topic to the development of the factory.

"I will build a weapons testing ground in this newly purchased area. At that time, all our weapons can come here to calibrate shooting and experiment." He began to plan the blueprint of the factory area and make use of every piece of wasteland as much as possible.

"On the other hand, I want to build a dormitory building. I need a large number of workers and their families! Everyone can work for me, and I will pay them a corresponding salary." He said, just He has entered his grand blueprint again.

Frankly speaking, everyone here couldn't keep up with Tang Mo's rhythm, because they still don't know what a factory as huge as a city looks like in the true sense!
In later generations, Huaxia has many such factories. There are hospitals, schools, and an entire dormitory area in the factory. A factory has tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of employees.

Even in many cases, the factory will encourage employees to marry and have children, and provide such dual-career families with almost perfect benefits.

The factory provides workers with dormitories, raises their children, and provides them with necessary medical care.The factory even reimburses heating costs and gives employees subsidies to cool off the heat.

As long as the products produced by the factory remain marketable, such benefits will stimulate employees' enthusiasm for production and create more economic benefits for the factory.

Of course, in this different world, Tang Mo's eagerness to popularize these benefits actually has a deeper meaning.

He must cultivate his own team and accumulate a large number of talents in order to be able to promote technological development, allow the whole world to adapt, and keep up with his development speed.

This is not a joke, but a real problem in front of him that needs to be solved!Because only by cultivating a large number of drivers who can drive can more cars be sold. This reason is very simple and easy to understand.

Tang Mo doesn't hope that one day in the future, he can produce cars, but no one in this world can repair cars...

In Tang Mo's plan, even spending money to support the families of these workers is a very cost-effective thing.

Just listening to him talk about his plan sentence by sentence, the eyes of Weiss and Roger who are more intelligent: "Women can help me raise pigs, handle leather for me, operate sewing machines, and carry small things for me." Goods, livestock such as chickens and ducks.”

This arrangement will give full play to the role of the family and firmly control the employees within their own factory area!And such a stable social structure will also save Tang Mo a lot of production time!

So, everyone listened to Tang Mo describe the prototype of his future factory, and these words sounded very feasible.

Of course Tang Mo knew that these ideas of his could succeed, because these were all proven practices in the world before he traveled.

So he was eloquent and eloquent: "As long as we make good use of these female workers, our production will be smoother. Don't worry, in the future factories will not only need male workers."

"For some jobs, female workers are more suitable. Their hands are softer and they are more careful when installing certain parts." When it comes to passion, he even gestures to make his speech more provocative.

He tried hard to convince everyone in this office to agree to his crazy expansion plan.

Even if these plans cannot be completed now, not even one-tenth of them, they at least represent the future, the future of this weapon workshop!

As he talked, Tang Mo even thought of the kindergarten he had when he was a child, so he improvised to add these contents to his words: "Moreover, they can also be engaged in quality inspection work, giving more and more workers We can cook and help take care of the newborn baby!"

Speaking of children, he excitedly announced to everyone: "Children can serve as apprentices. I not only let my school teach workers' crafts, but also let the school teach subjects such as mathematics and Chinese. They must be literate and understand the truth! Of course, this is the welfare of my worker's family! A welfare that must be guaranteed!"

Almost everyone was immersed in his future imagination, only Tiger was awakened from this big dream.Because he realized that Tang Mo seemed to be planning to spend money and recruit people again!
So he subconsciously opened his mouth and asked in a bad tone: "Do you still have money to find a teacher?"
