Chapter 23 Arrival

After a period of voyage, the freighter finally entered the dock in Chongqing.

It can be said that the wind was calm along the way, and nothing happened. Although there were reasons why the Qing government and the British joined forces to fight against the water bandits, more importantly, except for the desperate outlaws like Ruan Qi who were forced to do so, no water bandits had ever thought of moving large ships on the Yangtze River. Now this group of water bandits were even affected by Ruan Qi. This means that Ruan Qi is dead, otherwise even if he is still alive, these water bandits implicated by him would have gone to him to greet him with kind greetings...

"Thank you!" After the freighter was docked on the dock, Yan Guang thanked the captain on the deck.

"Don't be polite, this is nothing." The captain smiled and shook his head. "The next journey will depend on you. My boat cannot run on the shore."

"That's right, if you can really run on the shore, it will be troublesome..." Yan Guang also chuckled.

"?"

"nothing…"

Just as the two were talking there, the first mate came over.

"Captain Yan, our people have already started unloading the goods."

"Yeah." The captain nodded, then looked at his watch and turned to Yan Guang and said. "Yan, it's almost time for lunch. Should we have dinner first?"

"It's good, by the way, don't eat bread anymore, I'll take you to the restaurant below to eat..." Yan Guang suggested that he was almost tired of eating bread on the boat during this period. Now he finally leaned against the shore and naturally wanted to change his taste.

Although the captain and the first mate are both standard British people and have always used bread as a delicacy, since they have come to China, they naturally want to try the legendary Sichuan cuisine, so they agreed with Yan Guang's proposal.

After leaving Wang Er and the others to watch, Yan Guang took the captain and the first mate to leave the dock.

Although Yan Guang had been around Chengdu after he came to Sichuan, he had lived in Chongqing for a few days, so he soon took the captain and first mate to a restaurant where he had been. Unlike Yan Guang, who was already accustomed to Sichuan cuisine, the captain and first mate who had never eaten Sichuan cuisine suffered a lot. In the end, he had to eat some not so spicy food to continue.

After the three of them finished eating and drinking, it would probably take not much time to have lunch again.

"Boss, they have already unloaded the machine almost. It is estimated that they can be unloaded in two hours."

Yan Guang nodded. "Next, just transport the machine to Chengdu..."

Three hours later, all the machines on the freighter were finally moved off the ship. Yan Guang rented a large enough warehouse at the dock and placed all the machines inside.

The next day, the freighter left Chongqing after adding water and coal, and Yan Guang found a carriage shop in Chongqing and signed a contract with the carriage shop.

After signing the contract, Yan Guang kept Wang Er and the two accountants. "Tomorrow you will go with the people in the carriage, and I will take the carriage back to Chengdu first."

"I understand, boss." Wang Er and the two accountants nodded.

Although the contacts these days have not been very long, Yan Guang already trusts Wang Er quite a bit, so he can handle this matter with confidence. He has good marksmanship, good kung fu, and good character. If you want to talk about shortcomings, you may be illiterate.

"I'm going to find him a teacher when I'm back to Chengdu..."

Thinking of this, Yan Guang took two bodyguards to the carriage. After a whole day of travel, the three of them finally arrived in Chengdu.

After returning to his own factory, Yan Guang sighed at the factory that originally thought it was very big but now he felt a little small. "Oh, I really don't know if this is a miscalculation..."

The ten hectares of land is naturally large and endless. However, in order to build the factory earlier, a small piece of land was built on the ten hectares of land, not much, but according to Yan Guang's calculations, it was enough to put down a machine of 100,000 silver dollars.

But Yan Guang never expected that just because he killed the water bandits on the Yichang wheel, he actually got three times the expected number. Of course, this is definitely a good thing, but now it seems that the factory is definitely not enough.

"Do you have to recruit those workers and then build them?" After learning that Yan Guang was back, several accountants and security guards in charge of staying behind had already rushed out of the gate to greet him.

After saying a few words to a few people, Yan Guang took them into the still simple office.

"How are the workers recruiting?" After sitting in his seat, Yan Guang asked the accountant who was in charge of recruiting workers.

"I have recruited it, and a total of 373 female workers have been recruited. I can come to work directly after we inform you." The accountant hesitated. "But the literate female workers you asked me to recruit only 17, and the rest are all illiterate..."

"That's it..." Yan Guang rubbed his temples. "It's impossible. After all, there are too few women who know literacy in this era. Forget it, there are only seventeen, which is better than none of them coming..." Yan Guang said this and remembered those machines again. According to the number of female workers now, those machines will definitely not be able to be opened. It is already very good if they can even be opened by one fifth. It seems that they can only seal some of the machines first, and wait for these more than 300 female workers to learn how to operate and recruit new female workers.

But in this way, the venue problem has been solved.

As he said that, Yan Guang turned his head to the accountant who was in charge of contacting the cotton supplier. "That cotton?"

"It's all ready. Just inform the supplier and you will immediately send the cotton." The accountant replied quickly.

Yan Guang then turned his gaze to several security guards. "You should have familiar brothers, right?"

Although the security guards were a little puzzled, they nodded.

"When you go back, ask if anyone is willing to work as a security guard in the factory. The monthly salary is just five yuan like you, but this time you only recruit ten people..." Yan Guang thought for a while and decided to expand the security team. The factory with more than 300 workers was a bit difficult for ten security guards.

Moreover, the scale of the factory will still be expanded in the future. By then, it will probably be a scale of thousands of people. The security team of these 20 people will also be expanded to fifty or even one hundred people. As for the security captain Yan Guang, he has already figured out the candidate, which is Wang Er.

After giving all the instructions, Yan Guang entered the side room in the office with exhaustion.

It was said to be a side room, but in the future it was Yan Guang's bedroom, which was equipped with bed, sofa and desk. Although it was relatively simple as Yan Guang's office, Yan Guang could not pay much attention to it during this special period.

After a few days, the convoy departed from Chongqing finally arrived in Chengdu. When they arrived outside the factory gate, they even attracted a series of onlookers.

Of course, the convoy caused not only the onlookers of the people, but even the government in Chengdu was also attracted...
