Chapter 22 Building a Modernized

  ument.write(

  Apart from a blacksmith's shop, the industrial foundation of Kuai Shi Village is almost non-existent. Although Uncle Blacksmith's skills are good, it is still necessary to recruit some people who understand technology. Now many factories have been squeezed out by Japanese goods, and a large number of technical workers are wandering the streets. It should be possible to find quite a few. I believe that Father and Mother will both agree, and now labor costs should be very cheap. We can build several workshops in the hinterland, specializing in the production of military equipment, and incidentally producing some daily necessities to accumulate wealth. Thinking about it is doing it, this is one of the few advantages of being a young boy.

  Yan Xi Wu Zheng and his brother, wife gathered together to discuss the development of tomorrow, Yan Ju Fan excitedly ran in. "Dad, hehe, everyone is here" The little boy happily greeted.

  "Ah, I was just about to go find you, and look, you've got the enemy's weapons and equipment. Isn't your little wife fond of playing with explosives? Hehe, I specially had someone send the good stuff from the enemy over to your place." Yan Xiuwen said with a smile.

  "What's wrong with you, my place is almost an arsenal now, haha, and Rain is my sister now, don't talk nonsense..." The little boy refuted unhappily.

  "Who knew our team captain of the mouse squad would be shy too, haha!" Yan Xiuwen teased.

  The little boy adopted the most effective method, ignoring it...

  Qin Wanjun beckoned to the naughty little boy who was gazing up at the sky, and asked him what had brought him running over so suddenly.

  "The main thing is to develop our economy. Now, many of our military supplies are purchased from outside, but in the future, if we grow bigger, there won't be enough guns and cannons for sale outside. This is a matter of life and death, and we absolutely cannot let others control it. Our mountains have iron ore and coal mines. As long as we find some people to secretly produce them, we can definitely have our own military industry. When the time comes to fight against the devils, we will be more confident. Moreover, during the production process, we can also develop our economy. The income from just selling mountain goods is far from enough to meet our needs, let alone when we grow bigger in the future. It's not possible for Aunt Qin to always provide us with large sums of money. If we make our own products, we can support ourselves, and then our Lian Shan will truly become powerful..."

  Qin Wanjun woke up from her shock, hastily pushed her husband, and found that Yan Xiawu was also shocked. Only then did she realize that it wasn't her husband and son who had said that, so her stepson must be a genius. This made her extremely excited.

  Yan Xi Wu suddenly realized that his son had unknowingly grown up, had his own thoughts, and understood human relationships. How could he not be excited? He repeatedly praised: "Well said, we were just discussing this matter, and you've expressed our concerns."

  Yan Ju Fan touched the back of his head, and chuckled: "I was just casually thinking about it, hehe, many problems can't be solved at once, so don't expect me to."

  Yan Xi Wu nodded, indicating that he understood. He looked up at Qin Wan Jun who was about to say something and shook his head, signaling her not to ask. Yan Xiu Wen smiled and watched the two of them, waving his hand to signal the others to leave with him.

  Yan Xi Wu naturally understood the implication of his son's words, which was: "He is not suitable to be in the front row for now." Yan Xi Wu naturally knew what it would mean if Yan Ju Fan were to take the stage at such a young age, so he stopped Qin Wan Jun's questioning in time. His younger brother apparently understood the reason and took everyone out.

  The house fell silent, Yan Xi Wu and Qin Wan Jun were quietly recalling the words they had just exchanged, thinking about how to develop industrial construction, produce military supplies and civilian goods. Qin Wan Jun looked at her stepson, smiling lightly: "Xi Wu, now that there are no outsiders, you carefully tell me, how should we carry out construction?"

  Yan Ju Fan smiled and said: "Our Lingshan is rich in iron and coal, and it's easy to mine. There are many rivers and streams in the mountains that can be used for power generation. With electricity, many things can be made. People from other places don't know about these resources here. Our terrain is complex, which can well hide us deep in the mountains. The land is fertile, and in the early stages, it can solve the problem of people's food. We can recruit some technical workers to come, their factories have been ruined by the foreigners' goods, so they should be abundant in manpower. What we need are some technical personnel, and other workers can be found among the local people. It's both confidential and easy to manage."

  Yan Xi Wu and Qin Wan Jun nodded in agreement, they exchanged a glance, and Qin Wan Jun said: "I'll get our family to help keep an eye out and recruit skilled workers right away. Also, I'll secretly look for returned overseas students in Beidu City. We must rush to transport the equipment, important materials, and tools." Qin Wan Jun saw her husband about to open his mouth and hastily added: "Of course, everything will be done secretly." As she said this, she playfully batted her eyelashes at Yan Xi Wu.

  Yan Xi Wu chuckled and stopped talking. The little boy saw that he had nothing to do, so he quickly slipped away. Secrets, huh? Not suitable for children.

  At this time, the commander of Tongcheng Garrison, Yamamoto Kitaro, was scolding his subordinates: "Eight Gaha, a pile of rubbish, such a big thing happened, and you only knew about it now. You are all useless. Why did an entire squad of Japanese soldiers get annihilated? Why did two companies of security troops go missing? How could this have happened for so long without you knowing? Fifty-two brave warriors of the Great Japanese Empire have been killed, and you're only reporting it now?" Yamamoto Kitaro slapped several subordinates in the face.

  Several subordinates did not dare to hide, stretched their faces to accept the superior's reprimand: "Hey, hey, hey, the superior's reprimand is correct. However, they usually go for a few days, but now that something has happened, it was discovered that all the Chinese old hundred surnames avoided them and no one came to report. Now the scene is also destroyed, don't know who did it."

  Yamamoto Kitaro slapped the deceitful squadron leader and scolded: "Is this a reason? Where has your vigilance gone? Eighth company, where is your sense of honor? Who allowed you to let them not contact in time?"

  The subordinate who was beaten cursed in his heart: "You are the one who is useless, didn't you approve this yourself? With the dead Sasake backing you up, you don't even put us in your eyes. You're dead, good riddance! Next time see who else dares to disobey orders and act arbitrarily without reporting to their direct superior officer, deserving of death!"
