Chapter 320: The Benefits of Joining the National Salvation Army
Zhou Cheng continued to ask: "Master Kong, if you can dismantle Hanyang Manufacturing into parts, you can definitely reinstall the parts and make them a gun again, right?"
Master Kong understood as soon as he heard this: "Captain, do you want to use waste and assemble all these parts into a rifle?"
Seeing Zhou Cheng nodding, he immediately replied: "It's OK, but it's just a waste."
"In the past, we repaired guns in the arsenal, and repaired any part when it was broken. After installing it, the gun could be reused. As long as the weapon was not damaged too seriously, it could be repaired."
"According to your approach, you need several gun parts to make up a complete set of rifle parts and then re-arm it into a rifle. If the rifle is not damaged in a particularly serious way, at least two bad guns are required to reinstall a good gun."
"If the rifle is damaged too seriously and is damaged in one place, four or five bad guns may not be able to piece together a good gun."
"You often go to the battlefield and you should know that the Hanyang we equipped made those parts easily damaged. Most of the rifles we have dismantled were the barrels and bolts that were blown up. The parts inside were intact because there were very few good barrels. If you really need to reinstall them, more than 400 bad guns could only reinstall more than 100 good guns."
"If we have equipment to produce gun barrels in our hands, I would be confident that I would reinstall at least 300 good guns!"
Zhou Cheng smiled bitterly and replied: "Isn't this without equipment? That's why I settled on the second best thing, and asked you to disassemble the bad gun into parts and then reinstall it into a new gun."
"But everyone doesn't have to be discouraged. More than 400 bad guns can reinstall more than 100 good guns. This result is much beyond my expectations. You can almost arm an infantry company."
"From now on, all four of you start to load guns, restore the parts you dismantled into rifles, and reinstall as many as you can."
"The dismantled Czech Republic also reinstalled it for me, at least two reinstalled, the faster the better."
"After reinstalling, we will continue to dismantle the guns. Our warehouse is filled with a large number of broken weapons. In addition to Hanyang and old sleeves, there are also a large number of 38 covers and crooked handles. You all need to reinstall them into good guns."
"If you four can reinstall 100 good guns within three days, the regiment headquarters will reward you with ten yuan each and award you the rank of lieutenant. If you can reinstall two Czech Republics, you will become lieutenant."
The National Salvation Army is not the Eighth Route Army, so if they cannot be rewarded with meritorious service.
Ocean and military rank have become Zhou Cheng's most commonly used commendation methods, and it is also the most practical one.
It can be seen from the smiles on the faces of several workers that they are very satisfied with the commendation given by Zhou Cheng.
Especially Kong Dewen, his mouth was so smiled that he could hardly close his eyes.
Among the few people, he was the only one who made the Czech manufacturing, so he personally dismantled the Czech manufacturing sent by the guards. He knew very well what parts were damaged by those Czech manufacturing.
The regiment commander said that he only had two intact Czech-made products and knew all the parts and was 100% sure to complete this task, which means that the rank of lieutenant was a foregone conclusion for him.
As afraid that Zhou Cheng would regret it, he quickly promised: "Please rest assured, we promise to complete the task!"
In Taigu Village, after the National Salvation Army recruited new recruits here, the village became quiet again, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of autumn harvest soon.
The only thing that changed was the families of the new recruits.
Although the settlement fee for fifty kilograms of grain is not much, it allows them to avoid having to eat wild vegetables until the autumn harvest like other villagers, ensuring that they can eat some sticky millet porridge every day.
At about noon, six soldiers wearing national rescue army uniforms suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village. They were all new recruits who had just joined the National Salvation Army in Taigu Village. Each soldier held two goats in his hand, and then the village became lively.
"Shanzi, have you joined the National Salvation Army? Why are you back today?" The old lady living at the entrance of the village saw Chen Shan walking in the front at first sight, and she was both envious and puzzled.
Looking at the entire village, besides Landlord Zhang’s family, only a few new recruits can also eat millet porridge, which is difficult not to attract people’s envy.
"Hello, auntie, today the commander gave us a day off and rented two goats from each family, so we would take them home to raise them. When the goats are given cubs next year, each family would pay a puppy..."
After saying that, Chen Shan led two goats to the house. Before he could reach the door, he saw his parents greeting him with excitement. After the greetings, several families focused their eyes on the two goats behind Chen Shan at the same time.
Looking at his parents' worried gaze, Chen Shan could only say what he said at the entrance of the village again.
My father seemed to have some experience in raising sheep. Not only was he not happy because he had two more sheep at home, he showed a worried expression: "Boss, raising sheep is not a good thing now."
"After the autumn harvest, the grass and trees on the mountain turned yellow, especially in the late winter, the goats were driven into the mountains and could not find food, so they could only feed them to ate corn so that they would not starve to death. These two goats are so big, I guess they would have to eat at least more than 300 kilograms of corn in one winter, and then the National Salvation Army would give us a puppy, which would be a loss."
"If we don't feed the grain, the two sheep will definitely not be able to survive in winter. If we are fed to death, we can't afford to sell all the food at home..."
"This is not a good errand!"
The mother and the two younger brothers couldn't laugh, especially the mother, who wanted to ask Chen Shan if he could return the two goats, but he swallowed them back.
The boss has brought the sheep back home. If you retreat at this time, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction from the superior and affect the eldest son who has just joined the National Salvation Army.
Seeing that all the family looked at him with a worried look on their faces, Chen Shan quickly comforted him: "Dad, the commander of the National Salvation Army has already considered it for us."
"The commander of the National Salvation Army has a way to make goats have something to eat in winter, and each goat consumes up to ten kilograms of corn."
"When we came back, the chief said, you will go to the town early the morning after tomorrow. There are government people there to teach you how to make green storage materials, and make them directly from the poles and leaves of corn and soybeans. It is very simple. After making them, you can save them until late winter. When you don't eat outside, take out the green storage materials for the goats to eat. Make a handful of corn every day to ensure that the two goats are full every day and easily survive the whole winter!"
The expression on my father's face changed, and he stared at the boss and asked, "You said that this green storage is really useful, and you can eat goats in winter!"
Seeing the boss, he nodded with certainty, and his father immediately became excited: "If you raise sheep according to the method you said, each goat only eats ten kilograms of corn in winter, then this matter will be a big deal."
"We have more people in the countryside, and there are more corn poles in the fields. Then make more green storage materials, and the two sheep will have food in winter. When the sheep are given next year, our family will have a goat of our own."
"If the National Salvation Army agrees to continue raising it, our family will have two goats in the next year, and we will be able to raise lambs by ourselves. If we wait for another year, our family's two goats can turn into a flock of sheep."
"Third brother, why are you still standing there? I will immediately lead the two goats to the yard. We will build a sheep pen in the afternoon. From today on, you will be in charge of these two goats. You must take good care of them. When we have a flock of sheep ourselves, you three brothers will have the money to get married!"
After hearing what his father said, Chen Shan became excited and continued: "This is the benefit of the commander of the National Salvation Army to give us new recruits. Because the number of goats is limited, only the families of the new recruits can get two sheep for the time being. It will be the other people in the village at this time next year."
"In addition, the sir has prepared another benefit for us, that is, I don't know if my parents have time."
First, there was a fifty kilogram of millet, and then there was a sheep raising. Faced with these real benefits, Mr. Chen had been completely conquered by the National Savior Army. He believed in the National Savior Army from the bottom of his heart and trusted them.
When I heard the boss say there were benefits, I directly asked: "We have time, what kind of benefits are there? Tell me!"
"Raising pigs..." Chen Shan was frightened by his father's overreaction and quickly answered.
"In addition to goats, the regiment also allocates 100 pigs to each town, and the families of the new soldiers are also given priority. If you have time and want to raise pigs, you can go to the town tomorrow morning to register, first come first served, and if you go late, it will be gone!"
Mr. Chen was already moved. He lost his eldest son who had already joined the army and there were four people in the family.
My youngest son is young and farm work is too difficult for him, but it is still okay to raise sheep and get some pig grass outside to feed the pigs.
Moreover, the reward for raising a sheep for a year is one lamb, and the family only needs to pay twenty kilograms of corn and some effort.
For ordinary people, the least valuable thing is strength, so the real effort of the family is only 20 kilograms of corn.
If you exchange twenty kilograms of corn for a lamb, you will make a profit no matter what the point is.
If you raise sheep like this, you will definitely not suffer any losses.
Mr. Chen continued to ask: "Then what is the reward for raising pigs for a year?"
Chen Shan thought for a while and replied: "It depends on whether we can raise our hearts."
"No matter how long it takes to raise the pig, you will be rewarded with one pound of millet or white flour if you gain weight by one pound in our family. If you can gain thirty pounds a month, then we can get back with thirty pounds of millet in a month..."
Mr. Chen immediately fell into deep thought and analyzed the gains and losses of raising pigs in his mind.
The Chen family had raised pigs before. Because there was no excess grain to feed pigs, they could only feed them some pig grass, a small amount of sweet potatoes and grain. A pig weighed about 60 or 70 kilograms a year. It can be exchanged for 60 or 70 kilograms of millet from the National Savior Army. If it was replaced with 200 kilograms of miscellaneous grains, and raising a pig can use up to 100 kilograms of miscellaneous grains a year. If it is not manpower, raising a pig can increase the family's income by at least 100 kilograms of miscellaneous grains a year...
If it happens to a disaster year, one hundred kilograms of miscellaneous grains can save several lives.
Mr. Chen is no longer as simple as being moved, but shouts excitedly: "Raising at least one pig. The third brother will be responsible for freeing up and finding pig grass in the future, and taking good care of the livestock in the family. Our family can increase its income by at least two or three hundred kilograms of miscellaneous grains a year, and almost one person's food."
"I will set out before dawn tomorrow and try to claim a smaller fat pig back, so it will be easier to gain weight when raised."
