It has been two months since it was settled in Helan Mountain, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the changes in the cottage are visible to the naked eye every day. Bailijian is now patrolling around every day in addition to giving normal classes to the children in the cottage.

After more than a month of hard work, more than a dozen wooden houses have been built in the cottage. In order to ensure the environmental problems in the cottage, Bailijian also specially built toilets, and forced everyone to go to the toilet to go to the toilet, prohibiting open defecation.

The happiest people are the old farmers who run the land, which in their eyes are fertilizer. Even if there is no shortage of cow and sheep manure to fertilize in the cottage, for the old farmers, the more fertilizer the better.

In addition to the wooden houses, there were also dozens of holes in the mountain walls on both sides at this time, each of which was not deep, only more than one person high, barely enough for two people to take refuge in it. However, this is just the beginning, and when the depth is deepened, these holes can become a hiding place, and some important materials can be stored in them, such as salt, which will be more convenient to preserve.

Speaking of salt, the salt-making process in the cottage is now on the right track, and women who were previously considered a burden have now become the main force of salt production. Especially those Hu women, they are all strong and hard-working, and they are not worse than men at all. For this reason, Bailijian also made a special commendation and improved the food treatment for the women who made salt. This has encouraged women who have been oppressed by men and have become much more productive than before.

People need to eat salt to be strong, and now the people in the cottage are more efficient than before, and these women have a lot of credit for this.

Bai Lijian and Liu Jing attach great importance to salt production, and the nearly 1,000 catties of green salt piled up in the warehouse today are the results of this time. This is still because of the lack of manpower to control the scale, in the future to expand production, the output will definitely be further increased, as long as the sales channel is opened, the cottage will be able to roll in.

In addition to the salt production department, Bailijian's favorite thing to inspect is the warehouse. Looking at the various materials looted back from the warehouse, Bai Lijian was very happy in his heart. Although a considerable part of these materials are useless at all, Bailijian still arranged special personnel to sort these materials so that they can find relevant or alternative items when needed.

Bailijian's initiative seems meaningless, but after it is actually implemented, everyone knows the benefits of it.

At present, the food, clothing, shelter and transportation in the cottage are collectively distributed, and only a few tribes that migrated together live according to their families, and they still retain some of the materials they carried before. Once a person begins to live, all kinds of living materials are indispensable. Everyone wants to use it, and the cottage can be distributed uniformly, but some have special requirements, so there is no way to supply them collectively. Therefore, Bailijian deliberately set up such a warehouse, and also created a labor division system.

To put it simply, each person is paid a share of work according to the amount of work they work for the day. Civilians were paid one cent a day of normal labor, and prisoners were only paid half a day. If there is a special contribution, the additional work will be counted. The army is not involved in the work, and the work is divided separately.

The guards had two cents per day, the captain had four cents, and Mangula had six cents a day. The horse bandits had one work per day per person, and the additional work was converted according to the results of the raids. The archers have one hour per day, and the reserve team has an additional half cent per day.

The work is settled once a month, and all people can go to the warehouse to buy what they need according to their own work, and if there is a surplus, they can be exchanged directly for one penny according to one work.

At first, Liu Jing was worried that there were not enough copper coins in the cottage and could not complete the exchange. But when Bailijian issued a rule that workers could buy things in the warehouse, but the money was not, Liu Jing was relieved.

As a result, most people have accumulated their own work in order to be able to go to the warehouse to buy what they need, which greatly reduces the exchange of copper coins. Moreover, there is no place to spend copper coins around the cottage, so copper coins are useless to the people in the cottage.

Of course, Bailijian will not be stupid to let everyone accumulate work and not spend it, so many other supporting regulations have been introduced at the same time.

For example, if a captive has saved enough 200 points, he can apply to end the life of the prisoner camp early, get rid of the status of a slave, and become a reserve civilian, and he can get 80% of his work. If you continue to behave well, you can exchange another 200 work points for civilian treatment and become a real civilian.

If you do the math, 400 jobs only need to be done for 650 days, which is equivalent to less than two years. If you add to that the usual good performance, it only takes more than a year to get some extra work. It took more than a year to change the status of their slaves, which was great news for the slaves in the captive camp.

In addition, Bailijian also deliberately launched some special foods, such as stir-fried vegetables, such as all kinds of jerky, so that those who are usually used to eating big pot rice and have too much work in their hands to buy. This will not only reduce their complaints about food, but also recycle a lot of work, and by the way, it can also make those who can't afford to eat have a thought in their hearts, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

The most expensive one to sell is naturally hundreds of lijian's special wine. Because there is not much wine in the cottage itself, Bailijian obtains even less high-grade wine through distillation, and although the taste is worse when mixed with some water, it is nothing at all for those Hu people who are addicted to alcohol.

The one who buys the most wine is Mangula, and almost all of this guy's work is used by him to exchange for wine, and Bai Lijian criticizes him a lot for this, but he just can't get rid of this problem of drinking. Fortunately, Mangula has a good amount of alcohol, and his work can't change much wine, so it's just enough to satisfy his cravings, and he won't get drunk and make mistakes.

At first, Liu Jing didn't understand why Bai Lijian bothered to do these things, obviously the problem that could have been solved simply had to be so complicated. But when Bai Lijian explained the benefits to Liu Jing, Liu Jing was completely convinced.

First of all, the division of work system is actually a disguised payment to the army, and the salary is very high, so it will naturally be desired by others, and it will naturally be much more convenient to recruit soldiers in the future.

Secondly, the cottage is now less crowded, and it can be supplied in a unified manner, but in the future, when there are more and more people, it will be very difficult to unify the supply in this way, and the problem of uneven distribution will cause civil strife in the cottage. Therefore, it is arranged in advance, and the people in the future will earn their work in the current way and support themselves. If you want to live a good life, try to climb up, there is nothing to complain about.

Of course, the most important thing is that the goods began to circulate, and simple commerce was formed. However, Liu Jing is not good at business, and Bai Lijian does not plan to explain. After all, with the level of Bailijian's half-hanging, it can't be explained.
