"Warlord, will the advance payment from the Mitsui family arrive on time?" Wu Youping asked.

"Just think of Mitsui as an ordinary partner. Business activities are business activities, and things should be done in accordance with the agreed business contracts. The Mitsui family is not more important than other businessmen, or less important than other businessmen."

Wu Youping relaxed and asked the next question, "Supervisor, the military uniform factory has been able to start operation. Comrades in the army said that the style of military uniforms is different from the military uniforms of the Republic of China."

"The sample is out?" He Rui smiled. He Rui drew the uniform pattern of the Siping army, but He Rui never had time to pay attention to it.

Zhao Tianlin couldn't help but take over the words, "Brother He, I have written to my tutor and asked him to help invite art designers to come and establish an art department. But when it comes to art, it depends on European countries. This is

It’s an expense.”

He Rui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, this money should be invested. Aesthetic design, photography, and videography are very important tasks. We want to build such a school."

Even Zhao Tianlin was a little surprised at this time. But seeing He Rui's firm attitude, Zhao Tianlin looked at Wu Youping, who was in charge of the money. At this time, Wu Youping did not put forward a different view, but continued to ask: "Warlord, since the military uniform factory has been able to operate, how can we

How many orders are they placing?”

He Rui smiled and said: "Since the military uniforms are ready, why not let Xu Chengfeng and the others wear them for a look?"

Not long after, more than a dozen young officers and soldiers of various ranks appeared in front of He Rui wearing military uniforms. It was also the first time for Zhao Tianlin to see the new military uniforms, and he was stunned. The military uniforms were very special when they were designed, but he didn't expect that they would feel even better when worn.

It's different.

Big lapels, big buttons, and wide belts. At first glance, I feel that the soldiers have a good figure. At the second glance, I feel that the temperament of the soldiers is completely different from that of the Beiyang Army.

After looking at the military uniforms, Zhao Tianlin could only sigh without knowing why, "This military uniform looks really good when you put it on."

He Rui did not comment. He looked at the military uniform carefully and made a request for improvement, "The collar at the back of the neck should be raised higher, and the front of the collar should be lowered. The pear-shaped recess under the Adam's apple should be exposed."

The cavalry company commander Zheng Silang asked puzzledly: "Isn't it cold?"

"Of course it will be cold in winter. So the troops are issued underwear, shirts, and scarves."

"Without the style buckle, it's not appropriate, right?" Xu Chengfeng didn't agree very much with the small collar.

He Rui shook his head, "If discipline could be solved by relying on discipline, the discipline of the Beiyang Army would not be what it is now."

As he said that, He Rui pulled Cheng Ruofan out, and according to his own opinion, he adjusted the general's uniform to what he just said. Wu Youping was watching, and He Rui ordered: "Youping, take off your shirt and let Cheng Ruofan put it on."

.Also, please ask the tailor master to come over and take a look."

Not long after, Cheng Ruofan was surrounded by everyone as a model. Zheng Silang looked left and right and couldn't help but smile: "Looking like this, Ruofan looks a lot smarter."

When Cheng Ruofan heard this, he immediately shouted back, "Fart! I'm not stupid after all!"

Zhao Tianlin praised: "When I wear it like this, I immediately feel bookish."

"Of course." He Rui was also very satisfied. The military uniform in front of him was a plagiarized version of the German military uniform in World War II. It was strange that it didn't look good. He also borrowed a scarf from Zhao Tianlin and put it around Cheng Ruofan. Everyone couldn't help but sigh that Cheng Ruofan already had a refined feeling.

This is what He Rui pursues. When designing German military uniforms during World War II, they focused on shaping the body lines and tried their best to add straight, cold, and intelligent visual effects. The inherent elements of the design produced amazing visual effects and created a classic in the history of military uniforms.

.

Of course, some people think that the combat effectiveness of military uniforms is sacrificed in this way, but He Rui believes that a scarf can keep warmer than all style buttons. Seeing that there is a big difference, He Rui asked: "Master, the cotton coat in winter must be able to cover

Cover your calves. In order to facilitate movement, the military uniform is not thick, and it needs to be longer to strengthen the wind protection. How long does it take to set up such a military uniform?"

The tailor made an estimate for a while before he replied: "It will take ten days for a few people to work on this military uniform. If it is done normally, it will take fifteen days."

"Okay, please ask the master to write down the process arrangement for making this military uniform for us."

After the tailor master left and everyone changed their clothes, He Ruicai said to Wu Youping: "We have 2,000 people now, and the army will be expanded to 5,000 people. First, make the uniforms of the current troops and police, and the total will be fast.

Thousands of sets.”

Wu Youping replied: "Warlord, wait a moment." After saying that, he picked up the pen and started to calculate. Not long after, Wu Youping calculated a number, "Warlord, there are four hundred people in the military uniform factory now. Three thousand sets of clothes, we need 45,000."

It will take 112 and a half days and four months to complete the work. Warlord, do we need to recruit more people?"

He Rui shook his head, "I'm not going to recruit more people in the military uniform factory. But we must expand the manpower. Youping, you send people to the village and tell the villagers that they will organize people in the village to participate in production, and we will give them money."

"How do people in the village know how to make military uniforms?" Wu Youping immediately expressed a different view.

"They don't need to learn how to make complete military uniforms. As long as each village can complete one link of producing military uniforms, making a set of military uniforms only requires dozens or hundreds of steps. There must be villages that can complete it."

Wu Youping thought for a while, but still shook his head, "Just organizing them and training them will take a lot of effort. If the scale of the military uniform factory is expanded, it can be well organized, produced well, and the product quality can be controlled. We can also save a lot of effort.

.”

He Rui did not answer immediately, but asked everyone to sit down first, and then said: "The report mentioned a situation. People from tenant farmers are very supportive of the policies we promote in the countryside. The reaction of middle peasants is not enthusiastic, and the reaction of rich peasants is more

It’s normal. As for the landlords, it’s good if they don’t object. Why?”

The answer was Xu Jia, the director of statistics. This stocky young man said in his pleasant alto voice: "Everyone has two sides. Tenants have simply benefited from land reform, while the wealthier classes have benefited and suffered some.

Damage. Moreover, after the land reform, the sale of land was prohibited, and those farmers and rich farmers could no longer become landlords. They felt that we had blocked their upward path. Of course they felt that they suffered a loss."

He Rui continued to ask: "So why do these people feel that the upward channel is blocked?"

Xu Jia thought for a moment and replied: "This...our policy does not allow them to become landlords."

"Let's change our thinking. The modern state is based on rights and obligations. Until now, tenants, peasants, rich peasants, and even ordinary landowners have not been able to establish a relationship based on rights and obligations with the government. Neither

The government wants to establish such a system, and no one will publicize it. As long as there is no major disaster, the government will unilaterally obtain agricultural products and tax revenue from the countryside. For these people, they can only rely on themselves to achieve a class jump. From farmers to farmers

Become a rich peasant, from a rich peasant to a landlord. Then train your children to study, gain fame, and become members of the powerful class."

Xu Jia understood it at that time, picked up his notebook and started recording.

Everyone else understood the same thing. Wu Youping asked: "The warlord, are you cooperating with the villages to produce military uniforms just to give everyone a new path?"

"First, through publicity and education, point out new ways to participate in industrial production. Then, by providing opportunities to rural areas, let some of them join industrial production. Military uniform production is only one of them. Maybe some villages are better at weaving and raising.

Breeding, or logistics. There is no need to impose special content on a certain village. Through cooperation, we can guide judgment and decide the direction of cooperation. This is also one of the contents of the next training for cadres such as village chiefs and village soldier captains."

Zhao Tianlin agreed very much with He Rui's view, but was still a little worried and couldn't help but ask: "What about efficiency?"

"There are different levels of efficiency evaluation standards at different levels. From the perspective of a garment factory, that means the highest work efficiency, the higher the pass rate, the lower the defective rate, and the higher the efficiency. From a local economic perspective, the more

When people are involved in socialized production and the social labor participation rate increases, the overall efficiency will be higher. If three thousand sets of military uniforms are completed in one month, do you think the efficiency is high or not?"

Thinking of the difficulty of the job, Wu Youping couldn't help but frown, but he replied firmly: "Overseer, I will try my best to promote this matter."

"The first step in promotion is publicity and education. When Shang Yang carried out reforms in Qin, the first thing he did was to win the trust of the people. If we can't let the masses know what we are going to do, how can we get the masses to support us. Let me give another example

For example, why does the Mitsui family want to cooperate with us?"

Hearing this, everyone was immediately freed from their fear of difficulty. The fact that Mitsui Yasuki and He Rui suddenly cooperated with He Rui after a few days of traveling around the mountains and rivers made the comrades very curious. No one believed Mitsui

Kangmu is a shallow person.

"Because after observing me for several months, Mitsui came over in person and determined one of our policies. The government and the military must serve economic development. Because of this, Mitsui felt that there was a basis for cooperation."

Zhong Yifu was a little unhappy, "General Governor, we implement this policy for the country and the people. Mitsui just wants to make money for himself."

"We have implemented policies that are more reasonable and more conducive to the development of productivity. Even capitalists will come to seek cooperation, and the people will definitely be able to see this clearly. And our job is to follow the laws of human understanding of things and let the people know first.

If there is such a thing, we will then help more people have the ability to join the ranks of developing productive forces. As long as we understand the rules and act in accordance with the rules, there is nothing the people cannot do without cooperation."

Wu Youping sighed: "Just considering the workload, I feel that we must strengthen cadre training!"

"That's right." He Rui agreed, "So Xu Chengfeng and other military cadres will also be rotated to work in grassroots rural areas."

After finishing speaking, He Rui said to Wu Youping: "Now seize the time to go to Tianjin, Shanghai and other places to inquire about the requirements for military uniforms, shoes, socks, leggings, etc. in Europe. It would be best if we can make them ourselves. If we cannot make them ourselves, try to find them as much as possible."

Suppliers who can provide these products.”
