"It must be true. My children have all gone. Yesterday, the boss came to see me personally... and gave my children a notebook." More and more workers joined this topic, and one worker excitedly provided evidence. , indicating that Tang Mo really planned to do this.
This matter has been spreading among the workers for more than a day or two. Tang Mo has already released the news, because most of the workers in this era have family members who are not around.
It will take some time for these workers to bring their children over and join the school.
Moreover, Tang Mo also needs time to prepare, prepare school, prepare lesson plans, and prepare a lot of things that need to be prepared.
So the news must have spread like wildfire, and Tang Mo also deliberately spread the news to observe everyone's reaction. He didn't know whether these workers supported or opposed their children's schooling, so he needed to take a look at the limelight.
As a result, everything went very smoothly and Tang Mo got the feedback he wanted, so the school was really established.
At this time, the worker who first mentioned this matter said excitedly: "That's really good. I'll find that boy from my family when I get back!"
Many workers also took action - they also had children at home, and many even had more than one child. It would definitely be a good thing if we could bring those naughty children over and give them a good education.
Even better, I heard that Tang Mo is also planning to provide these children with a place to stay. Although it is just a wooden house, it is not unbearable.
Compared to living apart in two places, being able to live with your family, even if the conditions are more difficult, is definitely a better choice, isn't it?
"I don't know if a girl can do it..." A worker muttered quietly, because he didn't have any sons at home, only a girl.
Of course, the idea of favoring boys over girls in this era was deeply ingrained, and Tang Mo's workshop was also in a serious state of yang excess and yin decline. Except for Aunt Tracy in the cafeteria, the only ones left were a few old women doing farm work.
The reason for recruiting and using these female workers is actually very simple. These old women have low wages and cheap prices, that's all.
There were dozens of women coming over from Beiling. Most of them came here with their husbands, which felt like migration.
Many of these workers from Beiling brought their families with them. When Earl Fisherot was selecting workers, he also deliberately selected families where the whole family could work and sent them to Tang Mo.
From this point, we can see the benevolence and carefulness of Count Fischereau. This nobleman who does not look like a nobleman can really be described as kind to the civilians.
However, compared to Tang Mo, Count Fisherot's old thinking still limited his vision. Tang Mo has no discrimination against female workers and is even willing to use female workers in more places.
And from Tang Mo's perspective, he also hopes that the ratio of men to women in the school he builds will be more harmonious, so that it will be more in line with Tang Mo's stereotype of the concept of school.
There is no way, Tang Mo is a time traveler, he has his own inherent understanding and stubborn ideas about certain objects.
Because of this, Tang Mo planned to ask Tiger to bring more women to him when he returned to Beiling to report on his work. He wants it for those who are married, and he wants it for those who are not married. As long as he is willing to work in Bunas, he will accept it.
Moreover, whether they are farmers or workers, it is best for these women’s husbands and children to come together. He refuses to refuse anyone who comes, arranges accommodation for them and provides them with jobs. Now, Tang Mo, who owns a large area of land, is short of labor manpower, very short of it!
When someone asked about girls going to school, the worker who knew the details immediately spoke up and answered his question: "Okay! Why not! The boss said, girls want it too! As long as they are children, he will teach them for free!" "
"I heard that the boss will build a house for us, so that the whole family can live together in the future?" These workers became more energetic as they talked, and began to raise the issue of housing again. Recently, the dormitories in the workshop have become obviously crowded due to the arrival of workers from Beiling.
Tang Mo is building more houses, and just because of the rush, most of these houses are wooden houses. But even if they are all wooden houses, there are actually differences.
The wooden houses for people to live in were obviously built with more care, the wood was thicker, and they were plastered on the outside, so they looked somewhat decent.
This kind of wooden house has upper and lower beds, which can only solve the accommodation problem for the time being. According to Tang Mo's idea, everything will be renovated later and converted into apartments.
After more than ten days of hard work, there are now few tents in Tang Mo's workshop. Even the eight soldiers brought by Tiger now have their own rooms. It's just that the eight of them can only squeeze into one room now, sleeping on standard bunk beds.
Several workers who had seen the progress of the wooden house were full of confidence and started talking: "But no..."
Good times are just around the corner, and everyone is in an obviously good mood. A month ago, they were still worried about whether the workshop could continue to exist and whether they would lose their jobs, but now, they are seeing the rapid development and expansion of the workshop.
A large piece of wasteland in the north was bought by the boss Tang Mo, and a piece of wilderness has been cleared as a school playground and experimental shooting range.
A new factory building is being built at the original shooting range, and countless simple wooden houses have been built next to the factory building. Most of the wooden houses are warehouses, and the names of the goods stored inside are hung on the cracked walls outside.
Far away from the source of the noise, there is also a busy construction site. The wooden houses used as dormitories are being built here. The quality is much better. They are rows next to each other, and they are also densely packed.
In short, this place has been a lively scene since a month ago - construction is going on everywhere, giving people a very reassuring feeling.
The mood improved and the future became brighter, so naturally everyone joked more and more, so some people started to go astray: "Great! My wife can also move here and live with me!"
"Do you still have a wife?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone dug a hole for him with a bad smile.
The young worker retorted angrily: "Nonsense! Of course I have a wife! I haven't been back for a year... I miss her very much."
"You have a wife but no children?" As a result, several middle-aged workers with evil smiles joined in the mockery. Many people started laughing and the atmosphere became extremely lively.
"When we get her, won't there be a child?" The young worker blushed and it took him a long time to say this.
His words made many workers burst out laughing. Amidst the laughter, the worker who was about to send the two children to school said very quickly: "I heard that the sound insulation of the wooden house is very poor. The bed is not strong either, so don't let the squeaking sound come to the next door."
As soon as he finished speaking, more people joined the laughing team, drowning out the young worker's angry retort: "Hahahaha!"
Tang Mo in the office is also making final preparations for recruiting students. He beat his shoulders and looked at Tiger who was called for him: "I plan to give you some extra lessons. How about it? Do you want to come and listen?"
"We? We also have classes?" Tiger couldn't believe his ears. After repeating Tang Mo's words, he asked, "What classes do we have?"
"The soldiers you brought, as well as you, Loew, Bernard, and some mercenaries I recruited, take classes together." Tang Mo replied: "Take tactics classes, including artillery theory, infantry tactics, Cavalry tactics…”
"Am I going to be a teacher?" Tiger asked with some uncertainty. In his mind, he seemed to be the only one qualified to take such courses. After all, Tang Mo has no talent under his command who has ever been in a battle, and he is the only one!
However, he didn't quite understand Tang Mo's intention - what's the point of an arms dealer training officers when he has nothing to do?
Thinking of this, he looked at Tang Mo warily, but the latter said something he didn't expect: "Of course not, you are here to make up lessons! I'm here to teach you! Give you the latest and most cutting-edge tactics !”
"You...you're not serious, are you?" Tiger was a little at a loss.
"Of course I'm serious." Tang Mo looked at the other party, a little helpless at Tiger's expression - he really needed to grab time now, so he really used a strong man to catch a strong man. If he was given a choice, he would still prefer to cultivate his own people.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the money to recruit and support a large number of private troops now. Bernard and Loew with more than a dozen people are already the limit of what he can cultivate now.
There was no other way, so he could only capture Tiger and others to make up the numbers - anyway, he had some confidence that one day in the future, he would be able to bring Tiger, the fierce tiger, under his command.
"But you..." Tiger felt that he could not accept such a thing.
"Have you never been on the battlefield?" Tang Mo interrupted his question directly and asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes." Tiger Heart said, do you still know that you have never been on the battlefield? You dare to give tactics lessons to veterans who have never been on the battlefield? What a joke.
Tang Mo disagreed: "This is nothing surprising. Because I am an arms dealer, the future war model will be decided by me, not you."
After a slight pause, he asked in one breath: "You have been on the battlefield, but how about it? Have you ever seen a revolver? How can you understand the tactics it is suitable for if you haven't seen a revolver? You keep turning I’ve never seen a revolver, what experience do you have for future wars?”
"..." Tiger's face was covered with haze, and he kept roaring in his heart: "What's wrong with me that I haven't seen a revolver? You don't have to keep talking, do you?"
