In the early morning of the next day, the banner of fish bones was raised on the roof of the town office of Shenxiang Town, announcing that it was officially included in the territory of the fish bone base.

Under the supervision of 20 riflemen, more than 200 survivors carried cement bags and steel bars to the Taipu River. They will be led by more than twenty engineers sent by Fish Bones to build defenses along the river.

Although they were still forced to engage in manual labor, Jiang Chen's treatment of them was much better than that of mutants. Not only were they given winter clothing bought from the Sixth Block, but they were not driven with whips. As long as they are not lazy, no one will be punished for starving because they can't complete the work.

When facing Shenxiang Town, Jiang Chen adopted a completely different strategy than the one that won over the survivor groups in Qingpu District.

Due to its location outside the city, the density of zombies here is extremely low, far less than in Wanghai City. After more than ten years of hard work, the zombies in the town have been cleaned up. It can be said that they have lived a very comfortable life over the years, and compared to the survivors struggling in the city, their combat effectiveness is much lower, and the difficulty of integration is naturally much smaller.

For example, the survivors of Shenxiang Town are farmers with hoes, while the survivors of Qingpu are hunters with guns. For the sporadic distribution of "hunters", Jiang Chen's strategy was to trade, then co-opt, and then assimilate. With regard to these "peasants", his strategy was to co-opt them by direct force.

All the survivors who were implanted with the slavery chip were directly promoted to management, and the infrastructure was entrusted to the new 700-odd people. At this point, the pyramid-shaped ruling structure has been constructed. Jiang Chen only needed to firmly control the people at the top of the pyramid, and naturally someone would worry about the following things for him.

In order to supervise the construction of the fortifications, Lu Huasheng personally led the team to rush over.

The 200 survivors were divided into 20 teams, each led by an engineer from the Fishbone Base, and worked intensively on the construction of the fortifications.

On the other side, in the wilderness east of Shenxiang Town, more than 200 survivors are diligently cultivating the wasteland.

Here I have to praise Xia Jiang Chen's wisdom, and the survivors in his base have always eaten "green food", whether he was out of this consideration at the time or not. Now it's always coming in handy. If you eat that kind of viscous nutrient mixture, you will urinate a lot, but basically you will not have a bowel movement for a long time.

The survivors of the wasteland were stunned to see truckloads of dried manure being pulled to the edge of the farm and piled up on a hill.

Growing mutant crops consumes a lot of soil fertility. Using the flesh and blood of xenomorphs or zombies as fertilizer will lead to an increase in soil contamination (toxicity). For those who have settled here, they naturally don't think about it. They usually buy industrial fertilizers from the Sixth Block to supplement the soil fertility.

How precious is feces?

At first, Jiang Chen didn't feel anything, but he felt that this thing had a great impact on hygiene. It wasn't until a survivor in Qingpu offered to contract their base for sanitation that he began to notice the problem.

On the wasteland, manure also seems to be worth a lot?

Wanghai City is located in the plains. Mineral resources are scarce in the vicinity. Although nitrogen can be obtained through artificial nitrogen fixation technology, and potash can be extracted from seawater, phosphate rock is not so easy to solve. The cost of extracting phosphorus from mutated organisms or plants is not low, and the main cost of producing fertilizer in the sixth block is on this phosphorus.

However, manure is very easy to do, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and you only need to stir it into the ground to sprinkle seeds.

Under Jiang Chen's instructions, the area of the farm has also expanded from the original no more than 100 acres to 1,000 acres. If all of them are used to grow camu trees, it is estimated that 100 tons of camu resin will be supplied to the fish bone base every month. In this way, it will not only meet the industrial needs of the fish bone base, but also export to the sixth block. At the current price of 150 subcrystals per ton. This farm will be able to bring more than 10,000 subcrystals per month to the Fish Bone Base.

And the rations of these more than 700 people, if calculated according to the calculation of two nutrient mixtures per person per day for 30 days a month, and a nutrient mixture of 0.1 subcrystals, it is only more than 4,000 subcrystals.

As for those "expensive" grains, after referring to Sun Jiao's suggestion, Jiang Chen decided not to supply them to the new survivors for the time being. As for the reason, it is not because Jiang Chen is stingy, but to consolidate class consciousness.

is different from those survivors who have been implanted with chips and sold to Jiang Chen. If these precious food supplies are provided too casually, they will not make these "outsiders" feel grateful. On the contrary, it will make them feel that it is too easy, and even have different hearts.

After all, more than 700 immigrants were included this time, which is more than three times the population base of the fish bone base. And these 700 people are from the same group, if you want to enslave them to work. All they need to do is shackle them. But if you want to "digest" them, you have to divide them first.

It's also very simple to implement.

Seven hundred men, first split them into two parts, one part was left here, and the other part was taken to the base of fish bones. Those who are brought back will go to factories to work in production, or go to the boot camps for training.

Meantime. Jiang Chen announced that each of them was a slave and could only receive two nutritional mixtures a day.

However, if someone has distinguished himself in the field of work, then his status will be upgraded to that of an inferior citizen, and his daily ration will be upgraded to two nutritional mixtures and a loaf of bread at the same time.

If you work harder and upgrade to a medium citizen, the ration becomes two nutritional mixtures, plus a pack of instant noodles.

Higher-class citizens are entitled to the same unlimited ration as those who are microchipped, that is, they are allowed to eat "big pot rice" in the canteen. In addition to not being able to enter management, they already enjoy the same civil rights as those who implant the chip.

When there is an identity gap in their small circle, they will naturally be divided. In order to protect the interests in their hands, those who were promoted would naturally stand on Jiang Chen's side and protect his interests in order to seek further promotion.

If there is a chance to climb up, most people will still choose to keep to themselves.

In addition, in order to distinguish their status, all survivors who have been implanted with chips will be awarded a "Knight Medal" to encourage their contribution to the construction of the Fish Bone Base. In addition, "Slave Chip" has also been renamed "Honor Chip". Although the soup is not changed, it is just a change of name. But Jiang Chen could clearly feel that when he issued this decision, the survivors who had been promoted to knights walked differently.

The sense of honor, if used well, can be much more useful than those chips.

Of course, there is a premise here, that is, only when everyone can fill their stomachs, will anyone pursue that illusory honor
