    Zhang Hanqing sometimes laments that he is born to be busy and cannot stop for a moment.

    In the past, it was easy to be a hostage in Beijing, but I spent all day thinking about how to find opportunities in crises; later, I was in the martial arts hall and the Guards Brigade, working hard on both sides; then it was bandit suppression, land reform, land reclamation, and making money, every one of them.  You need to work hard to do it.  Now that everything was finally on track, he had new ideas on his desk.

    Because of the successful suppression of bandits, the Guards Brigade has gotten rid of the nickname "Student Army" and has truly become an army that can stand on the stage.  Coupled with the fact that the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade are integrated and sincerely care for the soldiers, this reputation makes it very popular among the young people of Fengtian age. After the war, it not only quickly replenished the casualties, but also produced nearly 2,000 more recruits.

    ?According to the thinking of many people, the soldiers really cannot afford to support them.  The Beiyang Army has expanded from the original 6 towns to 18 divisions. Each province has less than one division. It's not that the country doesn't want to build it, but it just can't afford it.  Not talking about the purchase of equipment, just raising a division in peacetime requires 1.3 million yuan.  Zhang Hanqing had really squandered all his wealth for the Guard Brigade, and he wished he had pawned his pants.  Everyone knows that the military expenses in the past few months have been sold off the young marshal's wife's dowry.

    The Guard Brigade has also engaged in a lot of side jobs, but most of them are slow and not urgent, and it will be a long time before the real fruits are picked.  Therefore, when deciding whether to stay or leave these people, not only Han Linchun, but also Guo Songling and Wang Yizhe suggested recruiting new recruits later, although they all eagerly wanted to strengthen the Guards Brigade.  But Zhang Hanqing still kept everyone because he had his own reasons.

    In troubled times, what are the tools for wielding power?  It's the army!  In Fengtian, what is the way to drastically improve your status?  The answer is to raise troops!  Encouraged by the victory and reputation of the Guards Brigade, these "volunteers" who came here to join the army were better than those who passively served as soldiers. Of course, they were all treasures.  It would be a huge waste if we just abandon them like this.

    Isn¡¯t it just money?  Brother has plenty of money!  This is not nonsense. Zhang Hanqing has been really wealthy in recent days. Mi Chunlin, the Guards Brigade's moneybags and munitions minister, can testify.

    Doesn¡¯t Mi Chunlin serve as the director of Fengtian Land Resources and Development Bureau?  Why did he become Minister of Munitions again?  Speaking of which, it seems that Zhang Hanqing is superior.  At the beginning, I knew that with the prosperity of Fengtian's industry and commerce, land, as a scarce resource, would sooner or later show its power.  Therefore, he recommended Mi Chunlin.

    Let¡¯s not talk about whether Mi Chunlin has given benefits to the Guard Brigade overtly or covertly. His success in legalizing the 250,000 acres of wasteland reclaimed by the Guard Brigade is a huge wealth.  Some of these lands were actually reclaimed, some were confiscated by powerful people, and some were obtained from unknown sources. In short, the total number is 250,000 acres, which is just a lot more.  In addition to 50,000 acres of land for breeding farms and some farming, the other 200,000 acres were later sold at good prices.  In addition to the loan from Daosheng Bank, Lao Zhang later gave Xiao Zhang 1 million. In this way, Zhang Hanqing became a nouveau riche!

    "When I had no money, I could just keep holding on to the Guard Brigade. Now that I have money, I don't have to ask what I should do."  With an order, the 4th New Corps was established, and the engineers and baggage troops were expanded into regiments.  Now, except for the artillery and cavalry, which are organized at the battalion level, the Guards Brigade is already a full division-level organization!

    Seeing that the young marshal had money, Han Linchun, Guo Songling and others began to act dishonestly again. They encouraged Zhang Hanqing to buy some artillery.  After all, the army's combat effectiveness is reflected in its artillery. Since it is already being questioned, it has to be thoroughly established without stopping.  As for cavalry, the most indispensable thing in the Northeast is horses!

    Zhang Hanqing actually wanted to do this, but in the end he wisely refused.  It is true that you have money now, but every money must be spent wisely.  A country's armed forces cannot live by buying and selling. The sign of true strength is the ability to build the weapons it needs.  According to memory, there have been no major wars in the Northeast in the past few years, so the limited money should be used for industrial and agricultural development that can continuously provide blood for future national strength, rather than seeking quick success and instant benefits and chasing superficial strength.

    He spent 500,000 yuan on the deep processing of Benxi iron ore.  Originally, the largest iron ore in Northeast China only had the ability to process rough steel. As for steel for military use, such as steel for bullets and artillery shells, it could not produce it.

    Zhang Hanqing invested a huge amount of money in the name of the Guard Brigade and managed to buy machinery and equipment, thus gradually accumulating a certain amount of technology.  The most important thing is that because of this investment, the Guard Brigade Military Supplies Department can legitimately "supervise" the production and sales of Benxi Iron Mine.  You must know that since it is a factory and mine that is related to the rise and fall of national defense and industrial power, the Japanese cannot be indifferent to its expansion.  Zhang Hanqing asked the military to intervene in the company, which also made a solemn statement to all parties: I am protecting this company!

    Extensive raw material production alone cannot vigorously promote industrial progress. If you want to make a breakthrough in industry, you must first?You must have a competitive product.  In a word, it is a project that can not only produce practical things, but also accumulate experience for technological progress.  Zhang Hanqing decided to launch a bicycle manufacturing company based on the actual situation in Northeast China.  After all, buying a machine tool is a sensitive matter, but if it is used to produce civilian items, it will be a little more covert.

    Bicycles are a good starting point: they are useful for turning, milling, planing, and grinding, and bearings, rubber, and tires are all available.  Technically, it is not particularly complicated; similarly, technically, it can fully achieve the accumulation of experience.  Once the time is right, it can completely switch from bicycle processing to other things: if it can process the cross beam, it can make a gun barrel, if it can make bicycle tires, it can make car tires

    In fact, what Zhang Hanqing cares most about is cultivating technical workers and management talents.  They say what is most important in the 21st century?  Talent!  In fact, in the twentieth century, talents are more important!  Whether a country can rise and whether industry can progress depends on just a few decades!

    He knows that the cultivation of talents cannot be achieved overnight, and he fully believes that it is definitely not a dream to lead the Fengtian system to a higher stage with his own advantages in time travel, but can the country win these hard-won fifteen years (sorry)  , he always keeps September 18th in mind and always alerts himself for the arrival of this day), and his strong sense of mission is to let the country catch up with the gap with the great powers as soon as possible.  For this reason, seize the day.

    At this time, although China was weaker than the West in terms of overall industrial strength, the West did not pull China down too far in terms of technical capabilities and corporate management levels.  It was about two years later that the "scientific management movement" represented by Taylor appeared in the United States. There was a professional division of labor and specialized managers in factories; the statistical quality of Shewhart, Dodge, and Romig at Bell Labs  The founder of management and statistical process control theory did create scientific and effective quality management techniques and methods in the 1930s. However, due to the capitalist economic crisis, only 10 companies adopted his methods, and it was not until 1940 that a full-time quality inspection department was established.  , which laid the foundation for the take-off of American industry after the war.

    As a middle-level cadre in a factory a hundred years later, Zhang Hanqing has come to this time and place, and these commonplace theories and experiences are readily available to him.  Although it is not advisable to directly apply the mature experience of later generations across several generations of development, some effective methods still need to be used in advance, such as industrial engineering, quality inspection, assembly lines, etc.

    In view of the current situation that the vast majority of the people are illiterate and rely on oral transmission of skills from masters to apprentices, Zhang Hanqing believes that the division of labor system is the best way to solve this problem.  You don¡¯t need to know much knowledge, nor do you need to be familiar with all the bicycle manufacturing processes, as long as you are good at one thing, one thing, and one point.  In this way, you can get started quickly, your proficiency can be easily improved, and your output and quality will naturally be much higher.

    A few smart people are enough.  There are many knowledgeable and educated people in the student army, so it is not difficult to find some people to take the lead.  After instilling some basic modern business management concepts, especially the concept of division of labor and cooperation, Zhang Hanqing worked with them to divide the bicycle factory into six major workshops. Each workshop specializes in the production of one or a few parts, and is finally assembled by one.  The workshop completes the production of finished products.

    In this era, material life is extremely limited and products do not need to have a gorgeous appearance; everything is for practicality.  Like a bicycle, it is mainly composed of a few extremely simple parts such as a frame, wheels, bearings, chains, cushions, etc., and has almost no technical content in later generations.  But in this era, in Zhang Hanqing's later words, it was too much effort.

    For example, a bicycle frame seems simple, but it requires countless supporting companies: to build a bicycle frame, you first need a steel pipe factory, and then you need a steel mill;

    In addition to the rim and beam, the most important thing about the wheel is the inner and outer tires, which need to be matched by a rubber factory;

    The processing of bearings is more complicated and involves a lot of equipment: cold rolling machines, various grinders, annealing furnaces, quenching lines, lathes, milling machines one move affects the whole body.

    But Zhang Hanqing still tried his best to add one piece after another. Some equipment may be idle for a long time due to production capacity, which is very uneconomical. However, because it is necessary and there is no strong supply and demand market, he still has to bite the bullet and buy it The most important thing is  There were not many literate people, let alone the coordination talents that he felt were lacking.  Although he brazenly believed that if he engaged in business management, he would definitely be a genius and the founder of various management theories, this was not his ambition.

    Sometimes he also wonders whether it is a bit fanciful to use his own efforts to transform Fengtian, Northeast China and even the whole of China.  He can only be regarded as the deputy brigade commander and acting brigade commander of the Republic of China with a quasi-army division. At this time, which one is the right answer: should he use limited funds to expand his own power or to carry out industrial and commercial layout in advance?  Wouldn't you like to make wedding clothes for others?  But later he figured it out: the development of industry has its own laws, and a solid foundation must be laid. Accumulation is the right way.  It is his long-cherished wish to win early opportunities for the country and the nation to join the ranks of world powers. Gradually building an industrial development system is an important part of this long-cherished wish. As long as there is an opportunity, he will spare no effort.

    So the investment in the bicycle factory seems huge, but compared with the 12 other factories that support it, its cost is not worth mentioning.  This made Zhang Hanqing's finances, which had already improved greatly, even more tight than before.  Fortunately, after the Fengtian Farmers Credit Cooperative opened, it was no problem for Xiao Zhang to use money for emergencies.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It is his long-cherished wish to seize the opportunity for the Chinese nation to join the ranks of world powers in advance.
