When Tang Mo saw Tiger again, the officer in a bright yellow military uniform lowered his head shyly and admitted his mistake: "I have to admit that I misunderstood you. I'm sorry, Tang
Mr. Mo, I am here to apologize to you."
He is the confidant of Count Fisherlot, so he has been monitoring Tang Mo's every move from the perspective of Count Fisherlot.
Before, they were all technologies that he didn't understand at all, so even if he had doubts about Tang Mo's behavior, he had no good way to deal with Tang Mo.
Now, when he saw with his own eyes that this huge machine created by Tang Mo could actually replace manpower to drill gun barrels, he knew that he had misunderstood this young weapons manufacturer.
Tang Mo smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care: "It's nothing, you are just loyal to your duty."
He actually really liked the soldier in front of him. He was loyal and honest, and he was simply a perfect subordinate.
It is a pity that this subordinate belongs to Count Fischereau. He can only admire it but cannot own it. However, Tang Mo still firmly believes that one day he will have a group of subordinates who are as loyal as Tiger.
Tiger looked at Tang Mo's smile, nodded slightly, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding, sir. I think with such... such a great machine, you can definitely fulfill your promise to the earl."
The continuously running steam engine has driven two machine tools, and these two machine tools have drilled out two qualified gun barrels in the past day.
You know, this is still in the experimental stage. If this machine is fully powered, it is estimated that it can produce ten gun barrels a day.
However, the problem is not without problems. The previous estimate of the smoke exhaust volume was somewhat wrong, and the chimney was built too short in order to meet the deadline. This resulted in a strong smell of coke smoke throughout the factory.
Tang Mo pointed to the steam engine not far away that was still working, and said to Tiger: "Yes, I plan to continue to manufacture such machinery in the next half month, and then start producing Lord Earl.
Weapons needed."
Tiger was stunned because he thought that after Tang Mo produced this machine, he would start building the weapons the count needed tomorrow.
But according to Tang Mo, he will continue to produce similar machines, and then he will produce the weapons and equipment that the Earl needs.
This result made him want to say something, but looking at Tang Mo's face, he opened his mouth but somehow agreed and said, "That's great."
"I hope everything goes well." Tang Mo saw that Tiger didn't make irresponsible remarks about his production plan, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
He put his arm around Tiger's shoulder and said in a persuasive manner: "I hope you can help me solve something, Tiger."
"I will do my best." Tiger was stunned for a moment, then nodded and supported Tang Modao. For him, supporting Tang Mo to quickly enter formal production is his greatest loyalty to the earl.
"First, I need to produce enough steel to meet demand. Although I have bought almost all the steel from the sea, the quality of these iron materials varies... We need a lot of high-quality steel, a steady stream of steel.
." Tang Mo raised a finger and said to Tiger.
Tiger also knew that Tang Mo had used a lot of steel to make new equipment. If he didn't get enough steel as soon as possible, there wouldn't be enough steel to produce gun barrels.
In order for Tang Mo to start production as soon as possible and supply the Earl with high-quality weapons in sufficient quantities, Tiger decided that he would help him get what he wanted as soon as possible: "I understand, I will send someone to contact the Earl as soon as possible.
Let him raise as much steel as possible."
"In addition, I need some gold coins. As you can see, I need to purchase surrounding land to build more factories." Tang Mo hooked Tiger's shoulder and walked out of the factory, pointing to the work that had already begun.
Said a row of wooden houses.
These days, everyone's economic conditions are not very good. Being able to live in a row of wooden houses is actually a very good situation.
But this is just a dormitory for workers, a wooden house built temporarily to pursue progress. What Tang Mo really wants is a larger factory building, a new factory building that can accommodate more equipment.
So he continued to say to Tiger: "The old factory building is no longer suitable. The new factory building needs more space and a taller chimney... ahem... the chimney is too short. If we don't want to be choked to death,
Here, we need more land and taller chimneys.”
After pretending to cough twice, Tang Mo expressed his firm determination to improve the living environment and devote himself to the environmental revolution.
Before Tiger could recover, he continued on by himself: "Also, I want to build more dormitories. If possible, I hope to bring all the family members of the entire factory here.
Resettlement! This is to allow workers to work better! It is one of the benefits of our factory."
"These good welfare benefits require more buildings. Building a house costs money, and it costs a lot of money." After saying this long paragraph, he put one hand on Tiger's shoulder and the other hand on Tiger's shoulder.
He made a gesture of counting money in front of Ge and said exaggeratedly.
"I don't understand, sir, if you rush the work and just keep the current speed, why do you still build so many houses?" Tiger felt that he couldn't keep up with Tang Mo's thinking, so he asked.
Tang Mo was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party could raise questions after being deceived like this, so he continued to deceive him sincerely: "Tiger! Tiger! Dear Tiger! Everything here is new, my equipment.
, our secret...people outside will know it sooner or later, what do you think we can do to keep it secret and let people outside know it as late as possible?"
Hearing Tang Mo raise the banner of confidentiality, Tiger immediately understood it - this part of the content was close to his military expertise, so he easily understood what Tang Mo said.
Of course, all this was what he thought, and Tang Mo would not really explain his intentions, so Tiger nodded and said, "I understand, sir, you have to keep it a secret! Okay, if it is
In this case, I will try my best to help you realize your request."
"You need gold coins to buy land, gold coins to build a house, and gold coins to pay workers, so our gold coins may not be enough." Tang Mo counted the places he needed money one by one with his fingers.
Tiger felt a little ashamed, but he still tried his best to meet Tang Mo's request: "I will convey your request to the earl as soon as possible."
"Don't worry about this. Where did we just talk? Oh, yes, I want to buy the surrounding land, a lot of land." Tang Mo suddenly returned to the issue of land: "I hope to buy something closer to the vicious forest.
Acquire a lot of cheap land in the direction, but it’s not a good place over there anyway, far away from Bunas, most of it is wasteland.”
Tang Mo wants to expand his factory, so he needs a lot of land. He wants to build his own arms industry empire, so he needs a more complete industrial chain.
According to Tang Mo's idea, he first wanted to ensure the safety of the passage between himself and Beiling, so he planned to purchase the land he needed in the direction of Beiling.
On the one hand, he needs the port of Bunas to serve him and transport more goods, including large quantities of seaborne steel and fishery products.
On the other hand, he also needs to look for opportunities to develop the wood from the Vicious Forest. With this wood, he can further expand his production and build more factories.
Between these raw material production areas and ports, he needs a large amount of land to build his industrial empire - including a large number of dormitories, factories and agricultural land.
He wants to grow cotton here, and the climate here is very suitable for growing cotton. Previously, because of the sparse population, it cost money and food to cultivate, so no one supported it, but now he is ready to transform this place into a true paradise at all costs.
In the future, these open spaces will be turned into pig farms that produce bristles, large smelting centers, and factories lined with chimneys.
In the middle of these factories are schools for cultivating talents, markets where goods are stored, and worker dormitories that are standardized, hygienic, and orderly.
He wants to turn this place into an industrial base even more spectacular than the Ruhr area in Germany, connecting Wolf City to the north and the mountains to the south, with the Endless Sea as its back and facing the vast Leyte Plain.
With Tang Mo hugging him like this, Tiger was overwhelmed with Tang Mo's requests and subconsciously replied: "I think this should be okay."
"You'd better come with me. The sheriff and mayor of Bunas may not be easy to talk to." Tang Mo continued.
Tiger nodded naturally and agreed: "I will make them reasonable."
"That's great. In addition, I need leather workers, workers who deal with pig bristles, and preferably doctors..." Tang Mo said excitedly.
"Are you preparing to build a town by yourself? Sir." Tiger felt that he might have agreed to too many things, which made Tang Mo misjudge the count's support.
In fact, the count's influence is very limited after going beyond the Vicious Forest. It seems that there is not much effect in pulling the tiger's skin here.
But of course he couldn't tell Tang Mo that the title of Lord Earl was of no use here, and it would be better for you to be an honest person...
"Absolutely! I need my workers to be able to buy food and supplies in my factory, see their wives, and raise their children..." Tang Mo felt that Tiger seemed to be very smart too.
It reminds me of a small town.
At this point, Tang Mo was obviously stunned for a moment, and then found a new entry point: "Speaking of children... I should build a school here. The children should be literate and they should learn. If you can find some teachers,
