Early the next morning, Han Yue took Wang Erkui to join Xue Hu and Xue Yan to the dock, Xiao Siqi sent his merchant ship to anchor on the shore, there were 1 helmsman, 2 handymen, 2 handymen and 1 Shangdou on the ship, except for the helmsman Lao Yutou, the others were all strong young men, Han Yue naturally asked Wang Erkui to offer rice and bacon to entertain them, and each of them was rewarded with 5 taels of silver.

Don't look at this ship, which is only small with a displacement of 55 tons, and the carrying capacity is only about 30 tons at most, but it is very troublesome to operate, the six people sent by Xiao Yishan to himself are all skilled boatmen, and after two days at sea, they must understand the character of these six people, Han Yue's future strategy is to be based on the island, then the sea ship is the biggest tool in the future, and the skilled shipwright is also the most urgently needed talent resource, so Han Yue has already planned to leave this group of crew members behind.

Isn't it a bit unkind to take other people's boats and dig up other people's boatmen? Anyway, the Xiao family should not care about this.

After greeting Lao Yutou, Han Yue sailed towards Shoulong Island and Xiaowangjia Island under the guidance of Xue Hu.

Shoulong Island and Xiaowangjia Island are not far from Dawangjia Island, only 3 nautical miles and 5 nautical miles away respectively, the first stop of Hanyue is Shoulong Island, soon arrive at the wharf, there is a hundred total team stationed on Shoulong Island at present, there are about more than 140 families from all over the Liao people who fled from all over the country, the island is in a north-south direction, 2.3 kilometers long, 0.41 kilometers wide, 6.7 kilometers of coastline, 0.95 square kilometers of land area, just like a thin dragon, so it is called 'Shoulong Island'. Although the ridge of the island is barren and thin, the vegetation is sparse, the rocks are bare, the terrain is high at both ends, the middle is slightly gentle, the altitude is 118.2 meters, but the coast is relatively stretched, the water is clear, suitable for aquaculture, the residents are mainly fishing, and the seafood is famous for shrimp, sea cucumbers, mussels, oysters and conchs. What is even more commendable is that there is one spring on the northwest shore at the foot of the mountain and one on the north shore, and the spring water is clear.

Hanyue is very satisfied with Shoulong Island, although it is not suitable for land reclamation, but the size is suitable, fresh water is not worried, and the long coastline is also conducive to the implementation of the money-making plan in his heart in the future.

Han Yue still consulted Xue Hu's opinion, and Xue Hu was very satisfied with Shoulong Island, because he had been stationed on this island for a period of time before and was more familiar with the situation on the island.

At that moment, Han Yue made up his mind in his heart, but he still decided to go to Xiaowangjia Island to check it out, mainly to learn about the situation in this sea area.

In one morning, Han Yue inspected the sea areas in the triangle of Dawangjia Island, Xiaowangjia Island, and Shoulong Island, Xiaowangjia Island is too small in size, and lacks fresh water resources, and the small islands in other areas are not suitable for large-scale long-term residence and development.

So Han Yue and Xue Hu made the decision of Shoulong Island.

On the way back, Han Yue talked with the helmsman Lao Yutou and threw out an olive branch, at first Lao Yutou was a little hesitant, but when Han Yue offered a monthly salary of 3 taels per month and three meals to be full, Lao Yutou agreed without hesitation. As for the other 5 young men, because they are young and their families are in Dengzhou or Jiangnan, they hesitated and finally declined Han Yue's invitation, and Han Yue did not embarrass them, there are many boatmen on Wangjia Island who are familiar with the operation of sea ships, and they will recruit them when the time comes, as long as Lao Yutou stays, I believe there is no big problem.

Back on Wangjia Island, Han Yue came to the garrison mansion, and after explaining his decision to Xu Zumin, he also agreed, and the current team of 100 people stationed on Shoulong Island happened to be under his direct command, and it was convenient to mobilize, so he agreed on a time with Han Yue and sent someone to notify the 100 general manager of Shoulong Island to hand over.

Since the base area has been determined, the rest is to recruit people, and it is impossible for him to become the commander of the light pole as the general manager, so Han Yue also arranged for Wang Erkui and Xue Yan to go to the island to recruit and publicize when visiting Xu Zumin.

Soon, the entire Wangjiadao knew that the newly promoted Bai President Han Yue was going to start recruiting.

Wangjiadao is a sensation!

Because Han Yue's recruitment conditions are too generous - 1 tael of silver per person per month, in addition, one thin and two dry meals and three full meals a day, one meat meal in three days, seven days and one day off, and four sets of clothes in spring and winter in a year.

These conditions are undoubtedly a huge temptation for those bitter Liao people on Wangjia Island, and it is already desirable to be able to eat two full meals in today's world, not to mention the salary, five days and one meat and holidays.

However, at the same time, Wang Erkui also announced that this recruitment is conditional, aged 16 to 24 years old, and can only be recruited after the assessment meets the standards, and the time and place of the assessment are set in the dock square two days later.

As soon as the news came out, more than 300 young men on Wangjia Island began to be eager to try, and everyone was eagerly looking forward to the assessment in two days.

After Han Yue came out of the garrison mansion, he happened to meet Xu Zumin's son Xu Zhengyang, who had returned from Shandong.

Xu Zhengyang is two years older than Han Yue, he looks gentle and scholarly, he is different from Xu Zumin's pure martial arts identity, he is unwilling to practice martial arts in the army since he was a child but likes to read, Xu Zumin does not force him, so he has been taking the road of the imperial examination, and now he is a Xiucai to study in Qingzhou Mansion, this time he rushed back to visit Xu Zumin after seeing the Tang newspaper of the change in the Dongjiang River in the imperial court.

Han Yue and Xu Zhengyang greeted politely, Xu Zhengyang also congratulated Han Yue on his promotion to the top 100 president, although he had lived in the garrison mansion before, but Xu Zhengyang studied abroad all the year round, so he was not very familiar, and the two parted after being polite.

Han Yue and Xue Hu returned to the Han family's courtyard and began to plan the recruitment of troops two days later.

Looking at the recruitment brochure written by Han Yue, Xue Hu nodded in agreement, but the simplified Chinese characters still looked a little awkward to Xue Hu.

The two set the number of recruits at 96 people, but it doesn't have to be full, if there are no 96 people who meet the assessment requirements, then they will wait until Shoulong Island to replenish the remaining soldiers, in short, it is better to lack than to abuse, Han Yue hopes to train into a team with excellent combat effectiveness, not to collect everyone in order to make up the numbers.

This assessment brochure is designed in accordance with the assessment requirements of recruits in the army in later generations, with physical fitness assessment accounting for 50%, martial arts skills assessment accounting for 30%, and cultural assessment accounting for 20%.

However, Han Yue still listed the cultural assessment separately, because he wanted to set a benchmark and send a signal, that is, what he Han Yue wanted to train was a 'revolutionary team in the new era', and only good literacy could obey the constraints of discipline and be 'brainwashed' by Han Yue's ideas in later generations.

Now these people are soldiers to eat food, one day Han Yue will have to change their thinking, so that it is easy to control in the future, and this first batch of soldiers is the seed of the future troops, and they must be very strict.
