Although the recruitment is now due to the fact that the major projects have stopped, it does not mean that there is nothing to do, on the contrary, there are many places where manpower is needed - such as fishing grounds, warehouses, blacksmith shops, brick kilns, livestock and poultry farms, etc., all have to be employed.

"Yes." Shi Jin responded and sat down. Seeing that the two of them looked a little disappointed, Dong Ce smiled and comforted Wen Yan: "You don't have to be too anxious, you can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, now that we have so few officers, there are only the two of you, and the two of you can't fight, everything has to start from scratch." If you recruit too many people at one time, you can't manage it at all, and there will be chaos. These three or four hundred people are not small, and if they are really trained well, they will also be a rare elite. Train them well first, and this will be the cornerstone of the expansion of our army in the future. ”

He pointed to the sky: "Looking at this year's day, it is still uncertain whether there will be snow this year, I am afraid that next year will still be a big drought situation, if this is the case, the displaced people are indispensable." When the time comes, we will train this army well, recruit a large number of homeless people, and we will be able to become a strong army in no time without much training. ”

He explained it like this, where was there anything dissatisfaction with Shi Jin and the others? They all said yes.

After these two major events were finished, everyone reported some things within their own management, such as the livestock and poultry farms are increasing day by day, and now they can provide more than 60 eggs of chickens, ducks and geese every day, some of these eggs are kept for incubation, some are used to improve people's food, and most of the rest are pickled, ready to use salted eggs as a means to link with the reward competition mechanism after the army.

In addition, fresh fish are caught every day, and there is a section of the river that is specially not frozen, and the ice on it is only a thin layer, and it is not very solid every day. The next day, it was smashed open, and after it was smashed, the fish flocked here to breathe fresh air, and they could catch a lot of fish without too much trouble. However, for the sake of long-term thinking, the daily fishing target has now been reduced to about 40% of the original level. Rao is like this, except for those who were traded with Bai Tianfu, these days, there are still more than 30,000 catties of air-dried fish, chilled frozen fish, salted salted fish and so on.

But now there is a serious problem - the salt is running out.

Speaking of which, Dong Ce asked for a batch of these salts in his hand, and scavenged a batch from Liu Ruozai, and looted a batch from the warehouse of Shilipu. But salted fish requires quite a lot of salt, and it's normal to not have enough now.

Dong Ce pondered for a moment and said: "Then reduce the amount of catch every day, and at the same time, reduce the amount of food given to the people, and change the daily amount of food distribution to the original seventy percent, and distribute a fish to each household every three days, so that they can watch it themselves, eat as much as they want, and keep as much as they want, whether they eat a meal or a long stream, they don't need to care about him." Don't worry too much, when the squad is pulled up, the fresh fish will be provided every day, and your fish will be gone. ”

"Yes." Wang Yu responded.

These things are all trivial matters, but Dong Ce asked about them all in detail, and gave a way to solve them, so as not to drag on this problem, and the more it drags on, the more serious it becomes.

As a result, it took more than an hour to get these things done. That is, now the Rock Fort stall is small, there are few things, and it is easy to dispose of, if there are more people, it is not so easy.

"Here's a announcement." After all the matters were dealt with, Dong Ce glanced at everyone, and suddenly his voice rose: "Half a month later, we will officially recruit troops and form our Panshi Fort subordinate army." ”

Although everyone had known it for a long time, when Dong Ce said it so formally, they couldn't help but feel solemn in their hearts, and they straightened their backs one after another.

"Shi Jin, Li Gui, Su Dacheng!" Dong Ce's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he called out three names. The three people who were called by their names immediately got up and said loudly: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"The three of you form a preparatory bureau, with Shi Jin as the bureau leader and the two of you as the deputies. Everything that the recruits need—shelter, barracks, canteens, bathhouses, and even all supplies, quilts, clothes, armor, weapons, beds, tables, chairs, daily utensils, cooks in the kitchen, handymen in the bathhouse, food, meat, utensils, chopsticks, etc., are all prepared by you. One should be necessary, as long as there is something in the storehouse, although it is taken, it shall not be hindered. However, every three days, a note must be sent to the official, and what is spent during these three days must be clearly written. ”

Dong Ce looked at everyone and said slowly: "This official hopes that within half a month, all things and measures must be prepared, and after the soldiers are simply promoted, they will start training immediately." Everyone, you need to be good at cooperating, don't let the official see any behavior that drags you back, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Everyone was stunned, and they had already begun to think about what was related to them and which ones must be their own part.

"Alright, let's all go down and do things." Dong Ce said: "After a cup of tea, let all the people gather in front of the house, and by the way, set up a simple platform for the official." ”

"Yes."

Everyone dispersed, and Dong Ce went back to his room to change into the heavy and sturdy full-body iron armor that weighed seventy pounds, and put on a helmet. But whenever there is something important to announce, he always faces his people with this image.

When he left the mansion, the platform outside had been erected, and it was made of wood, which was very simple, only six feet high.

Dong Ce stepped onto the stage and faced the people. The people stood in separate units of armor, although not so neat, but it was always reasonable. The audience was silent, no one made a movement, and they all raised their eyes to look at Dong Ce on the stage, speculating about what he was going to say.

Although they certainly couldn't guess what was going to happen, they knew that it would definitely be a big deal to be able to control what the eldest master himself announced. This is a matter of experience, and it has been the case several times before.

The fog was much lighter, but the sky was still gloomy.

Dong Ce faced everyone, his voice was calm and loud: "Seeing you again, this official is very pleased." I still remember when you first came, you were as thin as firewood, skinny and bone-like, as if a gust of wind could blow it away. But look at it now, my body is strong, and my face is full of energy and energy! It seems that this official has fulfilled his original promise, I, Dong Ce, I Rock Fort, let you survive, and this day seems to be doing well. ”

There was a slight commotion and sound below, and many people knelt down one after another, shouting loudly: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”

"Thank you, Master for living with me!"

"The eldest lord accumulates good deeds, the prince of all generations!"

……

Everyone also knelt down one after another, kowtowed and thanked them, but they just knelt down.

The corners of Li Gui's mouth, which was standing in the audience, hooked slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. These people who took the lead were arranged by him, but everyone knelt down one after another, which showed that they were really full of gratitude to Dong Ce.

"Get up, get up quickly." Dong Ce raised his hands and waited for everyone to get up in a mess, but suddenly asked, "This official wants to ask, how did you become a homeless person." ”

This problem poked at the sore spot of the people at once, the people's local concept in this era is the heaviest, and the vast majority of the people have never even been out of the village ten miles away in their lives. But as long as they can survive to survive, who wants to leave their homeland like a wild dog?

There was a moment of silence in the crowd, and then an even louder commotion erupted, shouting in a chaotic manner.

Dong Ce didn't wait for them to answer, but said loudly by himself: "The reason why this is so is nothing more than four words: natural disasters and man-made disasters!" ”

"Since the year of the Apocalypse to the present, there has been no wind and rain! In these years, the winter is cold and frozen, the summer and autumn are dry and rainless, and the crops are not harvested every year, so they can only flee the famine. This is a natural disaster! Thieves and thieves and other rebellions run rampant everywhere, killing people and setting fires, doing evil, disrupting the norm, and everywhere they go, they are poisoning a place, and the chaos is thousands of miles. There are also Haidong slaves, wild beasts, every time they go south to violate my Han family fence, kill people and plunder, and they are better than traitors! This is a man-made disaster! ”

"Now you have come to the Rock Fort, and you will be given the land, and the grain, and the house. In our Rock Fort, there is no need to worry about natural disasters! Natural disasters are just a drought word! Do we need to worry about a drought? The land around our rock fort is all good black soil, a handful of fat can be used to get oil, there are two rivers around, the water is very rich, the cultivated land is not far from the river, and there is a communication connection with the Dongguan Canal, so it is very convenient to get water. Seeing that next year will be a good harvest, and this day will be comfortable and prosperous. His words reached the hearts of the people, who had been here for a few months and almost half a year, and they had already regarded themselves as the people of this place from the bottom of their hearts. Although I have to work every day, I have a land and a house, I eat enough every day, sleep soundly, and I don't have to worry about starving to death or being eaten and never waking up. The most important thing is that this gives them hope - every family has a piece of land that is enough to pass on to their children and grandchildren, and can make future generations rich. Their most extravagant wish now is to be firmly rooted here and live in peace.
