In this round of recruitment, nearly 1,000 people were recruited in less than a week, and some people came up one after another after that.

Among them, the vast majority of them are farmers in the surrounding areas, and the remaining small part are men, handymen, coolies, etc. in the surrounding towns.

There were only male students, and there were actually three female students.

It's quite a headache. All of them on Erlang Mountain are men with strong blood, and they can't tell who will drink too much one day, and one of them can't hold it back, and it will make a mess.

Ye Tufei had the intention to reject these three female students, but he attracted the opposition of everyone, including the parties.

The one with the loudest opposition and the most resolute opposition attitude is Ouyang Xueping.

"Give them to me, I'm just short of nurses!"

Yan Xiwen also advised in a timely manner: "Brother Ye, I know what you are worried about, but it is definitely not a good way to prevent the appearance of women in the mountains, and the key to solving this problem lies in the discipline of the troops, just like our ** team, with iron discipline, we are not afraid of this kind of scandal." ”

Peng Youming also agreed with Yan Xiwen, and he said to Ye Tufei: "I will leave Erlang Mountain tomorrow, when I leave, I will send you a word, Brother Ye, if Erlang Mountain wants to become a climate, if you want to become an armed force that makes little Japan fearful, then iron-like discipline and steel-like style are indispensable." ”

Yan Peng's words reminded Ye Tufei of Lu Yao's three battalions, and that kind of troop style was indeed what Ye Tufei wanted. Therefore, he happily accepted everyone's opinions, and kept the three female students and handed them over to Ouyang Xueping.

With more than 1,000 new people, let alone the military foundation, they can't even do the simplest gun with bullets, so how difficult it is to train.

Fortunately, Ye Tufei is surrounded by Yan Xi, Wenwei, Xiangdong, Zhao Zibin, and other ** who don't want to die when they do their work, but fortunately, there are ** veterans like Zhang Luohui, Deng Youfu, and Feng Hao in Ye Tufei's team.

A few days later, these old and rough people who didn't stand or sit when they went up the mountain finally had a little bit of a gun to eat.

During this period, at the instigation of Yan Xiwen and Zhao Zibin, Ye Tufei also made an important decision, and he gave this decision a fresh name, called the 'Farming Economy Cultivation Program'.

To put it bluntly, it is to relocate the peasant tenants outside the mountain to Erlang Mountain.

However, to everyone's expectations, Ye Tufei decided not only not to charge any land rent, but also to help the farmer tenants reclaim wasteland.

Over the years, Ye Tufei's insistence on never harassing ordinary people has finally shown its value.

Many peasant tenants within a hundred miles around rushed to tell each other, with Ye Liuye as protection, and there was no need to pay rent after receiving grain, compared to being in the same place not only by the landlord's lease but also by the traitor and the two dogs, the relocation of Erlang Mountain has become the hope of these people to pursue happiness.

Many brothers expressed their incomprehension of this measure, led by Guo Zhonglin, who claimed to be proficient in literature but neglected in martial arts.

"Sixth Master, although the land of Erlang Mountain is all wasteland, it is not easy to reclaim, we agree with your idea Sixth Master, but these farmers come to plant our land, but they don't have to pay a grain of grain, this, this is unreasonable! We have to collect some ground rent, even if it's a third of the outside! ”

Ye Tufei looked at Guo Zhonglin with a smile, did not answer directly, and threw the question to Yan Xiwen.

Yan Xiwen thought about it for a long time, felt that what Guo Zhonglin said was reasonable, and also came to persuade Ye Tufei: "I think what Guo Lao Er said is good!" Brother Ye, we don't charge land rent, so if you want to eat food, you have to spend money to buy it, isn't this the same as buying food outside before? ”

Ye Tufei glanced at Yan Xiwen and sneered: "I thought that Brother Yan could understand my thoughts, heh, I didn't expect you to be similar to Guo Er!" ”

Yan Xiwen suddenly realized, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said, "I understand!" Brother Ye does not charge ground rent, but he can collect protection money"

Ye Tufei stroked his palms and laughed, pointed at Yan Xiwen and gasped, and said, "You are still a **, why are all the gangs in your head!" ”

Yan Xiwen defended: "I'm thinking about the problem from your point of view! If it were me who was in charge, I would follow Guo Laoer's suggestion, and we would only charge one-third or even one-quarter of the rent outside. ”

Guo Lao Er also helped: "It's really not possible, we will only collect half of the rent of these farmers, compared with the land rent of four to fifty percent outside, it is enough to attract these farmers!" ”

Ye Tufei saw that these people really couldn't understand their thoughts, so he had to explain the farming economic system he planned.

"Our Erlang Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, how much land can be reclaimed into arable land during this period? You don't need to answer Guo Laoer, you just know it in your hearts. Ye Tufei ordered a cigar and was leisurely. How many people have to come into the mountains to plant these fields? Ten thousand? Or twenty thousand? I'm afraid it's more than that! After these people enter the mountains, what can they do besides farming? But they can't just eat food! You also need firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, where do these items come from? Not only do they have to eat and drink, but they also have to get dressed, right? Where did the cloth come from? Farming requires tools, and preferably livestock, so do they have tools and livestock in every household? Do the math, how much of these needs are, how much money we can make from them, and how much food can we buy them with this money? ”

Ye Tufei took a puff of his cigar, spewed out a string of smoke rings, and continued with a smile: "Also, these peasant tenants have come to the mountains, do you want to build a house and add furniture?" When you have more food and can eat enough, do you still want to drink two sips and smoke two sips? Let's run all these businesses, won't this money be turned around? How can it be the same as buying food outside before? ”

Seeing that the brothers seemed to understand but nodded frequently, Ye Tufei came to his senses and began to look forward to the future with everyone.

"This is just the first step in my plan, called the farming economy, let's do a good job in the farming economy, the next step is the industrial economy, of course, I haven't thought about how to do this industrial economy, but I can tell you a little bit, in the future, we can make guns and bullets ourselves, and if we do it well, we can even make cannonballs and shells! Brother Yan, don't you have an arsenal in your base area? ”

Yan Xiwen's mind has been completely brought into the blueprint of the future by Ye Tufei, he only heard Ye Tufei call him, but he didn't hear Ye Tufei's question about him, he couldn't suppress his excitement, and then Ye Tufei's words said: "In addition to the arsenal, we can also build cotton mills, quilt factories, furniture yards, hospitals, oil processing factories, and breweries."

Guo Zhonglin's brain hole was also opened at this moment, and he grabbed Yan Xiwen's words and said, "We can also open the Chunfeng Mutton Restaurant again, and the Chunfeng Wine Cellar can also be rebuilt." ”

Guo Zhonglin was followed by Zhang Luohui, and as soon as Zhang Luohui spoke, he was preempted by Feng Zhongliang

For a while, there was no room for Ye Tufei to speak!

After everyone's discussion and speeches were almost over, Ye Tufei finally found an opportunity to speak.

"You are very good, and these suggestions and suggestions are very useful, but, brothers, we must not neglect our work!"

When he was proud, Ye Tufei pulled up a new term.

"What do you do? What does it mean? "Guys, look at me, I'll look at you.

Ye Tufei said with a smile: "Don't forget what name is written on our banner, Erlang Mountain Battle Day Bandit Camp!" Since we're bandits, we can't rest, we have to do some work that bandits can do! ”

What can bandits do? The brothers knew that in addition to robbery, they were kidnapping tickets.

Ye Tufei said again: "However, our bandit battalion is a bandit battalion in the war day, so we can only grab the goods of Little Japan, and we can only tie up the tickets of Little Japan!" ”

Zhang Luohui shouted on the side: "Sixth master, there is one less kind of person!" ”

Ye Tufei looked at Zhang Luohui and said, "You come to add." ”

Zhang Luohui said with a smile: "There are also traitors and lackeys who work hard for Little Japan!" ”

All the brothers said in unison, "Yes! Can't afford to be cheaper these bastards! ”

Yan Xiwen said: "In my opinion, let's teach these traitors and lackeys a lesson first, and we can also reassure the surrounding peasant tenants." ”

Ye Tufei said: "Well, that's fine, Guo Er, you are more familiar with the surrounding area, this matter will be handed over to you, draw up a list of traitors and lackeys in the surrounding villages and towns, let's quickly cut through the mess, as long as you get the list, we will start work immediately." ”

Guo Zhonglin smiled: "This thing is simple! Sixth Master, let's gather the newly recruited brothers, hehe, isn't it clear which village and which town's traitor lackeys? If you do it well, you can start tonight. ”

Ye Tufei was overjoyed and said, "Just do as you say!" ”

In just three or two hours, a long list was made.

Yan Xiwen was a little worried: "Brother Ye, what if there is a bad pool in the middle and the good people are regarded as bad people?" ”

Ye Tufei said with a smile: "We only want to make money this time and not hurt people, if we really make a mistake, we will have to pay another day." ”

Yan Xiwen said again: "Your blow this time is so big, in case you provoke little Japan."

Ye Tufei said: "If you are in a hurry, you will be in a hurry, he is not in a hurry, hehe, if you have the guts, come to Erlang Mountain to settle accounts with me." ”

Yan Xiwen shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I was worried that if Little Japan was in a hurry, it would send the fire to the people." ”

Ye Tufei disagreed, glared and said, "According to what you say, do I still have to coax Little Japan to be happy?" Okay, Brother Yan, I'll leave this one to you, you just wait and see the show. ”

After that, Ye Tufei got on the horse and drove out, and took the brothers from village to village to find the traitors and lackeys to settle accounts.

Interestingly, in the list that Ye Tufei was holding, there was actually Pang Jinhai's name.

Of course, Ye Tufei was not confused by putting Pang Jinhai on the list, he just wanted to take this opportunity to make the Japanese believe in Pang Jinhai more.
