Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

In March 1938, the dragon raised its head.

"Chief Zhao, how is my cloth? Is it up to standard?"

A woman with dark skin and rough calluses on her hands asked Zhao Tianyang nervously.

Zhao Tianyang pulled the linen cloth hard and nodded, "No problem! This cloth is well woven."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The woman seemed very happy to hear Zhao Tianyang's praise.

"Chief Zhao, if you need weaving work in the future, just come to me. I don't have much to do every day anyway."

Hearing this, Zhao Tianyang had an idea. Many of the workers who followed him here from Xingjiazhuang brought their families with them.

After these people arrived at Huangyadong, they didn't have a formal job, so couldn't he just let them come and do the side business he had always wanted to develop?

There is also a textile factory. If we want to manufacture delta-wing gliders on a large scale, we must have enough linen. Thinking of this, Zhao Tianyang asked with a smile.

"Auntie, you've been here for so long, are you used to it? Are there any difficulties?"

"It's a habit. There's food and drink here, which is much better than back home."

After that, the aunt said hesitantly, "The whole family depends on the child's father to support them alone."

"We don't have any land to farm, and I and everyone else feel a little empty inside."

"Besides, the child is grown up now, and I don't know what to do in the future!"

"I see. It means that now that they have enough food, clothing, shelter and transportation, these people are starting to think about the future."

Zhao Tianyang waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will solve all the problems you mentioned. In the future, your family members in the arsenal will also have jobs and children."

Speaking of children, Zhao Tianyang felt a little guilty, as he should have trained the workers' children a long time ago.

As a result, he was so busy after arriving at Huangya Cave that he forgot about this matter. If it hadn't been mentioned today, he wouldn't have noticed it.

"We will build a primary school as soon as possible to teach the children knowledge."

"Really!"

The woman was shocked.

"Of course, I will hold a meeting to resolve your issues when I return, and you should be able to receive news tomorrow."

Zhao Tianyang said confidently.

Just kidding, he has nine ways to make these old, weak, women and children play their due value.

…………

Zhao Tianyang first took the linen and returned to the engine factory, and asked the workers inside to wash and dry the linen.

I went to the radio station factory again and found Li Yuncai who was inspecting the work.

"Do you still have the data I asked you to count last time about how many children the workers have?"

As soon as they met, Zhao Tianyang asked straight to the point.

"exist."

Li Yuncai was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied: "There are a total of 13 children aged four to six in our factory now."

"As well as four children aged seven to eight, and two babies who were recently born."

"Do you know how many old, weak, women and children there are?"

Zhao Tianyang continued to ask.

"There were 40 women and 6 elderly people over years old."

Li Yuncai thought for a moment and answered.

"A little less."

Zhao Tianyang frowned. He had originally planned to assign them the tasks of reclaiming land, spinning and weaving, and raising chickens and cattle.

As a result, there were only thirty people, and at most they could open a weaving factory.

"correct."

Zhao Tianyang's eyes lit up: "Now our factory has about 400 people, and they all have families."

"Go and mobilize them to call their families over, and tell them that you will assign them jobs and provide them with food and lodging."

"OK!"

Although he didn't know what Zhao Tianyang wanted to do, out of trust, Li Yun agreed without thinking.

Moreover, family reunion has always been a good thing since ancient times!

After explaining things to Li Yuncai, Zhao Tianyang found Liu Ding, who was helping Shen Hong manufacture a large stamping machine, and prepared to discuss teaching with him.

"I agree."

After learning the purpose of Zhao Tianyang's visit, Liu Ding agreed almost without hesitation.

"In that case, let's start a literacy class and use the night time to let those children and workers learn."

"The classroom will be located in a small basin, where there is more space and more than half of it has not been developed. We will put up two tarpaulins and a blackboard there to use as a classroom."

Zhao Tianyang did not hesitate and immediately began to arrange the location and time for school.

"Then let me be the teacher of this literacy class. I happened to be a teacher in Yan'an."

Liu Ding volunteered.

"That's daring!"

Zhao Tianyang was overjoyed. He had originally wanted to take turns teaching, but this was just a literacy class and it would be a bit of a waste to have them take turns teaching.

"By the way, I plan to build a weaving factory and a breeding farm in Shuiyao Mountain in the east."

At this time, Zhao Tianyang told us about his other plan.

"It just so happens that the families of those workers have nothing to do after coming here, and it's easy for them to have wild thoughts. So we might as well find something for them to do. This will be good for everyone."

"Ok!"

Liu Ding nodded: "I'm not afraid of the family being poor, I'm only afraid of lazy people coming out. It's really not good to let them stay idle at home every day. I agree!"

In the evening, just after the workers had finished their meal, Zhao Tianyang called them to a meeting in the small basin. At the meeting, he instructed them to set up literacy classes, a weaving factory, and a breeding farm!

Let the women who are idle at home, those who can spin and weave, go to textile factories, and those who cannot, go to farms.

Regarding this matter, all the workers with families raised their hands and stood still.

Of course, the literacy classes also received the support of all employees.

In the eyes of ordinary people, being able to learn to read and write has always been a big deal.

After the meeting, the workers built the classroom that evening.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianyang immediately announced the news that school would start tomorrow night.

The next day, Zhao Tianyang called the aunt who had woven cloth last time and an old man over.

Zhao Tianyang first arranged for the two to sit down, and then spoke to the aunt.

"Aunt Li, you should have known last night that we are planning to open a weaving factory. I think you have the best skills, so how about making you the director of the weaving factory?"

"This is impossible!"

Aunt Li stood up in a hurry and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Chief Zhao, I am just a woman. How can I be a factory director if I have no experience or ability?"

"Haha, you're wrong to say that."

Zhao Tianyang patiently persuaded: "I have seen your skills. No one in our arsenal who can spin and weave can compare to you."

"The purpose of our factory is to weave better cloth. Who would dare to disobey you as the factory director?"

"This...then let me try?"

Aunt Li, who was a little moved by what she said, asked tentatively.

"I believe you can do it."

Seeing that Aunt Li was persuaded, Zhao Tianyang immediately arranged for her to organize those women who knew how to spin and weave.

Later, Zhao Tianyang will let Li Mutou lead these women to build a wooden factory. But can they do it?

Zhao Tianyang could only say, don’t underestimate the power of women who hold up half the sky!

"That old man..."

"Chief Zhao, just call me Wang Weimin!"

After Aunt Li left, Zhao Tianyang just looked at the old man who came with him, and the old man excitedly introduced himself.

"Chief Zhao asked me to come here, probably because he wants me to be the director of the breeding farm!"

"I'm not bragging, but when I was in Xingjia Village, my family grew the best crops within a radius of 20 miles."

"My chickens are the fattest, so there's absolutely no problem choosing me as the factory manager!"

Looking at the old man with a flushed face and full of energy, Zhao Tianyang felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Okay, I met an official fan.

"Since Comrade Weimin is so enthusiastic, you can be the director of the breeding farm!"

"Great!"

Wang Weimin asked excitedly: "Chief Zhao, when will the breeding farm be built? I still have the strength to chop down trees and carry them. I can take the lead!"

Wow, you are so positive!

Zhao Tianyang said helplessly: "Comrade Weimin, don't get excited. There is no need to build a factory at the moment."

As he spoke, Zhao Tianyang organized his words and told him what earthworms were and how to raise chickens with maggots.

Let him figure this out first, and then go to the mountains and build a farm.

As for why it is called a breeding farm instead of a chicken farm, it is because when the conditions are ripe later, Zhao Tianyang also plans to raise some rabbits, mushrooms and so on.

"no problem!"

Although he could not build a breeding farm immediately, Wang Weimin, who had the title of future factory director, seemed very positive.

He assured Zhao Tianyang on the spot that he would definitely learn how to raise chickens with earthworms and maggots.

Zhao Tianyang was very pleased about this, and with a wave of his hand, he assigned several idle uncles to be his employees.
