Chapter 30: 30 heard
Chapter 30 Hearing and hearing
"It must be true. My children are gone. Yesterday, the boss came to see me personally... and gave my children a notebook." More and more workers joined the topic, and one worker excitedly provided evidence. It means that Tang Mo really intends to do this.
This matter has been spreading among the workers for more than a day or two. Tang Mo has already released the news, because most of the workers in this era have their families not around.
It will take some time for these workers to bring their children over and join the school.
Furthermore, Tang Mo also needs time to prepare, prepare school, prepare lesson plans, and prepare a lot of things that need to be prepared.
So the news must have spread like wildfire, and Tang Mo also deliberately spread the news to observe everyone's reaction. He didn't know whether these workers supported or opposed their children's schooling, so he needed to take a look at the limelight.
As a result, everything went very smoothly, and Tang Mo got the feedback he wanted, so the school was really established.
At this moment, the worker who first mentioned this matter said excitedly: "That's really good. I'll find that boy from my family when I get back!"
Many workers also took the initiative—they also had children at home, and many even had more than one child. It would definitely be a good thing if we could bring those naughty children over and give them a good education.
Even better, I heard that Tang Mo is also planning to provide these children with a place to stay. Although it is just a wooden house, it is not unbearable.
Compared to living apart in two places, being able to live with your family, even if the conditions are more difficult, is definitely a better choice, isn't it?
"I don't know if a girl can do it..." a worker muttered in a low voice, because he didn't have any sons at home, only a girl.
The idea of favoring boys over girls was of course deeply rooted in this era, and Tang Mo's workshop was also in a serious state of yang excess and yin decline. Except for Aunt Tracy in the cafeteria, the only ones left were a few old women doing farm work.
The reason for recruiting and using these female workers is actually very simple, that is, these old women have low wages and cheap prices, that’s all.
There were dozens of women coming over from Beiling. Most of them came here with their husbands, and it felt like they were migrating.
Many of these workers from Beiling brought their families with them. When Earl Fisherot was selecting people, he also deliberately selected families where the whole family could work and sent them to Tang Mo.
From this point, we can see the benevolence and carefulness of Earl Fischereau. This nobleman who does not look like a nobleman can really be described as kind to the civilians.
However, compared to Tang Mo, Count Fischereau's old thinking still limited his vision. Tang Mo has no discrimination against female workers and is even willing to use female workers in more places.
And from Tang Mo's perspective, he also hopes that the ratio of men to women in the school he builds will be more harmonious, so that it will be more in line with Tang Mo's stereotype of the concept of school.
There is no way, Tang Mo is a time traveler, he has his own inherent understanding and stubborn ideas about certain physical objects.
Because of this, Tang Mo planned to ask Tiger to bring more women to him when he returned to Beiling to report on his work. He wants it if he is married, and he wants it if he is not married. As long as he is willing to work in Bunas, he will accept it.
Furthermore, whether they are farmers or workers, the husbands and children of these women should all come together. He would not refuse anyone who came, arrange accommodation for them, and provide them with jobs. Now, Tang Mo, which owns a large area of land, is short of labor manpower, very short of it!
When someone asked about girls going to school, the worker who knew the details immediately spoke up and answered his question: "Okay! Why not! The boss said, girls want it too! As long as they are children, he will teach them for free!" "
“I heard that the boss will build a house for us so that the whole family can live together in the future?” These workers became more energetic as they talked and began to raise the issue of housing again. Recently, the dormitories in the workshop have become noticeably crowded due to workers coming from Beiling.
Tang Mo is building more houses, just because of the rush. Most of these houses are wooden houses. But even if they are all wooden houses, there are actually differences.
The wooden houses for people to live in were obviously built with more care, the wood is thicker, and the outside is plastered, so it looks somewhat decent.
Such wooden houses are filled with upper and lower beds, which can only solve the accommodation problem for the time being. According to Tang Mo's idea, everything will be renovated later and converted into apartments.
After more than ten days of hard work, there are now very few tents in Tang Mo’s workshop. Even the eight soldiers brought by Tiger now have their own rooms. It's just that the eight of them can only squeeze into one room now, sleeping on standard bunk beds.
Several workers who had seen the progress of the wooden house were full of confidence and started talking: "But no..."
Good times are just around the corner, and everyone is in an obviously good mood. A month ago, they were still worried about whether the workshop could continue to exist and whether they would be unemployed, but now, they are seeing the rapid development and expansion of the workshop. A large piece of wasteland in the north has been bought by the boss Tang Mo, and a piece of wilderness has been cleared as a school playground and experimental shooting range.
A new factory building is being built at the original shooting range, and countless simple wooden houses have been built next to the factory building. Most of the wooden houses are warehouses, and the names of the goods stored inside are hung on the cracked walls outside.
Far away from the noise source, there is also a busy construction site. The wooden houses used as dormitories are being built here. The quality is much better. They are rows next to each other, and they are also densely packed.
In short, this place has been a lively scene since a month ago—construction is going on everywhere, giving people a very reassuring feeling.
With the mood getting better and the future becoming brighter, naturally everyone joked more and more, so some people started to go astray: "Great! My wife can also move here and live with me!"
"You still have a wife?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone dug a hole for him with a bad smile.
The young worker retorted angrily: "Nonsense! Of course I have a wife! I haven't been back for a year...I miss her very much."
“You have a wife but no children?” As a result, several middle-aged workers with evil smiles joined in the mockery. Many people started laughing and the atmosphere became extremely lively.
“When we get her here, won’t there be a child?” The young worker blushed, and it took him a while to say this.
His words made many workers burst out laughing. Amidst the laughter, the worker who was about to send the two children to school said very quickly: "I heard that the sound insulation of the wooden house is very poor. The bed is not strong either, so don’t let the squeaking sound come to the next door.”
As soon as he finished speaking, more people joined in the laughter, drowning out the young worker's angry retort: "Hahahaha!"
Tang Mo in the office is also making final preparations for recruiting students. He beat his shoulders and looked at Tiger who was called for him: "I plan to give you some extra lessons. How about it? Do you want to come and listen?"
"We? We also have classes?" Tiger couldn't believe his ears. After repeating Tang Mo's words, he asked, "What classes do we have?"
"The soldiers you brought, as well as you, Loew, Bernard, and some mercenaries I recruited, take classes together." Tang Mo replied: "Take tactics classes, including artillery theory, infantry tactics, Cavalry tactics…”
“Shall I be a teacher?” Tiger asked with some uncertainty. In his mind, he seemed to be the only one qualified to take such courses. After all, Tang Mo has no talent under him who has ever been in a battle, and he is the only one!
However, he didn't quite understand Tang Mo's intention - what do you think an arms dealer would do if he had nothing to do to train officers by himself?
Thinking of this, he looked at Tang Mo warily, but the latter said something that he didn't expect: "Of course not, you are here to make up lessons! I'm here to teach you! Give you the latest and most cutting-edge tactics !”
"You...you're not serious, are you?" Tiger was at a loss.
"Of course I'm serious." Tang Mo looked at the other party, a little helpless at Tiger's expression - he really needed to grab time now, so he really used a strong man to catch him. If he was given a choice, he would still prefer to cultivate his own people.
It is a pity that he now does not have the money to recruit and maintain a large number of private troops. Bernard and Loew with more than a dozen people are already the limit of what he can cultivate now.
There was no other way, so he could only capture Tiger and others to make up the numbers - anyway, he had some confidence that one day in the future, he would be able to pull Tiger, the fierce tiger, under his command.
"But you..." Tiger felt that he could not accept such a thing.
“Have you never been on the battlefield?” Tang Mo interrupted his question directly and asked with a smile.
“Yes, yes.” Taigexin said, do you still know that you have never been on the battlefield? You dare to give tactics lessons to veterans who have never been on the battlefield? What a joke.
Tang Mo disagreed: "This is not surprising. Because I am an arms dealer, the future war model will be decided by me, not you."
After a slight pause, he asked in one breath: "You have been on the battlefield, but how about it? Have you seen a revolver? How can you understand the tactics it is suitable for if you haven't seen a revolver? You keep turning I have never seen a revolver. What experience do you have about future wars?”
"..." Tiger's face was filled with gloom, and he kept roaring in his heart: "What's wrong with me that I haven't seen a revolver? You don't have to keep talking, do you?"
