Chapter 151 Let Daxia suffocate for my dream!
In Tianjing, most schools that recruit children for enlightenment will select intelligent people from among them, generally one in ten.
The remaining children who were not selected and who knew hundreds of words would try to learn martial arts when they were eleven or twelve years old.
During this time, the bones undergo a second development and are able to fully bear the physical strain of practicing martial arts. They are also able to understand the basic principles of martial arts, and each martial arts school will then select another one-tenth of them.
This is the main source of soldiers for Daxia. Because the basic soldiers have high requirements, good treatment, and strong strength, Daxia does not have military service. Instead, serving in the army is a means of promotion. The absence of military service also means that the productivity of ordinary people is further liberated.
As long as the family's financial hardship is not too severe, ordinary families in Tianjing will try their best to at least let their eldest son go through this process.
Only at the age of thirteen or fourteen, when it is confirmed that they have no talent for literature or martial arts, will they start to work.
Those who are selected have a certain cultural and physical foundation, and can enter various chambers of commerce or even work in the mansions of officials. This is already the best way out.
What Zhou Tieyi is competing for now is the talents in this link.
The second department of the Railway Chamber of Commerce is the "Production Department", which directly rented several large courtyards in Huweibingfang as temporary office space.
The newly built dormitories at Huwei Military Farm, including the subsequent production, are, to be precise, all matters entrusted to Huwei Military Farm by the Railway Chamber of Commerce.
During this process, the Railway Chamber of Commerce may lose money, but the Zhou family's Huwei Weaponry absolutely cannot lose money. At most, it can earn a little less.
To be precise, Zhou Tieyi didn't expect the Railway Chamber of Commerce to make money in the first ten years.
The Railway Chamber of Commerce only needs to burn money, burn money, and burn money.
Laying railway tracks to half of the forty-nine states of Daxia would be a preliminary victory!
He raised 100,000 taels of silver by himself. It seemed like a huge amount, but it was just a start-up fund. The real big money would come from the national treasury and the Chamber of Commerce!
For the national treasury to pay, we need to wait until the time is right.
But in order to get the Chamber of Commerce to pay, Zhou Tieyi has too many ways to do it.
Thanks to the evil feudalism, when those merchants saw that their members were worth 100,000 taels of silver, they dared not not pay.
You don't have to pay, but your knife is sharp.
If they dare to kill even the great Confucian scholar himself, what's wrong with killing a few businessmen?
Do they dare to test the sharpness of their knives?
Even if it is against the will of heaven and earth and even if it means confiscating the property and destroying the entire family, I must fill the financial hole of the Railway Chamber of Commerce, otherwise my position as the chief of the God-Slaying Division would be in vain!
I, Zhou Tieyi, will suffocate the entire Daxia for my dream!
Thinking this way, Zhou Tieyi and his party came to the production department of the Railway Chamber of Commerce.
As the general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, Hao Ren knew that Zhou Tieyi was coming today, so he waited in advance. He also knew what Zhou Tieyi wanted to see, so he brought more than 300 people recruited during this period to wait together.
Zhou Tieyi looked over and saw that they were all strong young men about fourteen or fifteen years old.
In fact, Zhou Tieyi had very low expectations. Hao Ren probably owed favors to various chambers of commerce in order to find these 300 people.
However, this was a positive action taken by his subordinates, so he certainly would not discourage them. As long as he waited until Hao Ren could no longer maintain the quality, and then he spoke up to comfort him, he would naturally achieve good results.
"That's right." Zhou Tieyi spoke first without waiting for his brother to speak.
The primary and secondary are clearly distinguished.
As for the Zhou family's things, I said I would give them to my brother and would never touch them. However, when it comes to my own things, I need to let everyone know who has the final say. This point cannot be confused even if my relationship with my brother is very good.
Zhou Tiege was stunned. These past two days, his younger brother always let him speak first in front of the servants. Why did he suddenly speak first?
After thinking for a while, Zhou Tiege understood what his brother meant. He smiled slightly, stood behind him and said nothing.
Hao Ren has been working non-stop these past few days, and he has not been wearing his usual attire as a rich young man. Instead, he has been like an ordinary steward, tightening his sleeves and doing things the easiest way.
After Zhou Tieyi finished looking at the people, he looked at Hao Ren and said with a smile, "You are dressed well, and you look capable. You look like someone who can get things done and make progress."
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had done a good job in the first step. At least he got Zhou Tieyi's recognition.
"It's all thanks to the general flag's good leadership."
Zhou Tieyi chuckled and said nothing more. He knew that everyone present had been waiting for him for a long time, so his first words were, "Everyone will receive 300 coins today."
Just standing there and waiting for a while, you can get the reward money. Most of the people present are ordinary people. They can't help but shout out in excitement, and even want to whisper to each other. Only a few people remained calm.
Zhou Tieyi uses his qi and blood to drive his voice, so even without a microphone, it can be clearly heard by everyone.
"Quiet!"
Zhou Tieyi's shout shocked everyone's mind.
"But my reward from Zhou Tieyi is not easy to take. Before the workshop starts working, I will find soldiers to train your physique. Only if you persevere will you be qualified to keep it. Of course, I will still give you the monthly salary!"
Zhou Tieyi said proudly that since he had decided to let the entire Daxia suffocate for his dream, he certainly would not be short of the wages of these poor families. Not only would he pay them, but he would also let them see hope, the hope of transcending classes. This was the real means to liberate productivity!
Zhou Tieyi looked at his elder brother and said, "Send ten people from the Royal Guard Battalion over for training. It doesn't have to be completely in line with the military strategists' way of training warriors, but they must have basic discipline."
Zhou Tiege nodded. This was the first time his brother had asked him to do something, and he also wanted to see how things would develop, so he said, "I'll come and keep an eye on it when I have time."
Zhou Tieyi turned his head and looked at everyone, smiling, "Do you think I only give you monthly wages? That's not enough, it's totally not enough! If you work for me, Zhou Tieyi, you will be the boss in the future!"
After saying this, his blood surged throughout his body, surrounding his entire body and transforming into a long river of blood. The sound of the surging river fell into the ears of everyone present.
Then the long river condensed and turned into mountains. The rushing river water flowed around the mountains. The alternation of stillness and movement evoked the magic of martial arts.
This isn't over yet!
After possessing [Martial Arts], his energy and blood are now ten times stronger than before, and a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary eighth-grade practitioner!
On that long river and above the mountains, the blood continued to boil, and behind Zhou Tieyi it transformed into a blood-red giant that was eight feet tall. His face was exactly the same as Zhou Tieyi, but his expression was even more resolute. With his back against the mountain, his feet on the long river, and a spear in his hand, he looked extremely imposing and powerful!
Martial arts vision!
And it is a martial arts phenomenon above the long river of qi and blood!
Except for Zhou Tiege and Gongshu Sheng, everyone present was completely stunned by this martial arts phenomenon.
Zhou Tieyi laughed and said, "Do you want this power? After you become a first-class technician under me, I will personally accept you as my apprentice. Even if you are not talented enough in martial arts, this reward can be passed on to your descendants!"
