Fang Yu came.

He came to ask Zhang Zhun for help, and he was helpless to ask for help.

The establishment of the Lingshan Guard Patrol was not smooth. Originally, Fang Yu thought that as long as it took one day, the patrol team could be established. Unexpectedly, five days have passed, and this task has not been completed. Despite Fang Yu's efforts to mobilize as much as possible, no one was willing to join the patrol.

Originally, Zhang Zhun gave the Lingshan Guard patrol team an establishment of 300 people, a total of six squads, each with 50 people. As a result, Fang Yu worked hard for several days to get together enough one hundred and fifty people, and the remaining one hundred and fifty people still didn't know where to find them! I have to say that this is definitely a major blow to the ambitious Fang Yu.

You must know that at the beginning, he assured Zhang Zhun that even if a few thousand people were gathered, there would be no problem. Unexpectedly, three hundred people couldn't handle it, and only one hundred and fifty people were done. A few thousand, one hundred and fifty people, the contrast is really a bit big. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, Fang Yu would be embarrassed to appear in front of Zhang Zhun.

The reason for this is that the military households of Lingshanwei are not active enough. The local military households in Lingshanwei have always hated being a soldier and eating food, and war-weariness is quite common. When troops were sent to Liaodong, Lingshanwei was the least number of people. Those who were drawn also tried their best to dodge, and some even fled overnight and disappeared from then on. From this, it can be seen that the attitude of the locals to the battle.

At the same time, worrying about the counterattack of the imperial court is also another important reason. Wang Jian is indeed dead, but killing Wang Jian may attract more enemies. Can the imperial court sit idly by and watch a dignified guard commander be killed like this? This is absolutely impossible. If you participate in the patrol, it is a direct confrontation with the officers and soldiers, and a direct confrontation with the imperial court.

The courage to divide the land is not enough, let alone directly confront the imperial court? Confronting the imperial court, what kind of surname is that? As long as anyone with a little brain knows, this is a rebellion! And rebellion will be beheaded all over the house! In all dynasties, the probability of a successful rebellion is too low. This risk needs to be carefully considered!

Fang Yu completely realized the cowardly side of these fellow villagers in the past this time, no wonder Wang Jian's rule in Lingshanwei would be so stable. In fact, it was not because Wang Jian was too strong, but because the locals were too cowardly and did not have the courage to resist. When complaining, even he, a local, looked down on the locals a little.

"Wallgrass!"

"Whitch!"

Fang Yu said indignantly to Zhang Zhun.

"Xiao Fang, look at the point."

"Not everyone is afraid to die."

Zhang Zhun said casually.

Regarding Fang Yu's complaints, Zhang Zhun is now truly normal.

That's the reality.

Let's face it, complaining doesn't have any effect.

Or, you go to change this reality.

Or, you are adapting to this reality.

Now, Zhang Zhun has no ability to change reality, so he can only adapt to reality as much as possible. The people of Lingshanwei, since they are not willing to actively join the army, it doesn't matter, there are many people in other places who are willing to join the army, just transfer it. For example, in Xiahe City, there are many people who are willing to join the army.

As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet. If a tough method is adopted to force the local military households of Lingshanwei to become soldiers, the effect may be counterproductive. Many of the strong men arrested by the Kuomintang back then finally took refuge in the camp of [***], and the lesson was not profound.

This is the benefit of a large territory, which can integrate resources more effectively. Manpower is also a kind of resource, and it is also the most valuable one. In fact, from the perspective of human resources, the people of Lingshanwei are also quite outstanding. Most of them are good at work, down-to-earth, hard-working, hard-working, without complaints, all of them are old scalpers. To describe them in the shortest words, that is: as long as you don't go to the battlefield, let me do anything.

The farm production mode set up by Zhang Zhun in Lingshanwei was warmly welcomed by the people of Lingshanwei. In their opinion, this way of getting money and food by working is really too intimate. Therefore, those who have changed from tenants to tunding are particularly energetic in their work. The overseer of the farm basically does not need to do much work. The tunding are very self-conscious.

Due to the hard work and active cooperation of Tunding, the production of various farms has achieved good results. Liu Hang, Liu Baoyu, and Yang Liren, who inspected various farms back and forth, were all happy in their hearts. So kind and obedient, so hardworking and capable, so hard-working and resentful, where to find it?

"Xiaofang, everyone has different characteristics. Not everyone can be a great fighter. Some people are not suitable for the battlefield, this is a priori decision. It's not their fault. In fact, in other positions, they can do very well and well. The key is that we identify their individual characteristics and put them in the right position, rather than forcing them to do things in a position that is not suitable. That would be counterproductive. ”

Zhang Zhun spoke earnestly and enlightened Fang Yu.

Coming from later generations, he is naturally very clear about the division of labor. In any world, there is a different division of labor. Different people, different jobs. For example, the English butler, the French mistress, the Indian doorman, the wife, the Filipino maid, the Chinese cook, and the Viennese luthier were very popular in later generations...... It is the embodiment of this type. If you let the third brother go to the army and marry a French woman as a wife, the consequences can be imagined.

Resource integration is actually a very advanced knowledge. Zhang Zhun didn't dare to say that he was proficient. However, after all, he is from the next generation, and his vision is broader than that of people of this era. The decision to take down Lingshanwei is the fundamental need of the resource integration strategy. Lingshanwei has iron ore that Zhang Zhun desperately needs. There are also a considerable amount of coal mines, saltpeter, sulfur, etc., which are also needed by Zhang Zhun.

"My lord, what about the patrol?"

Fang Yu said helplessly.

"Isn't there someone in Xiahe City? You follow the trend and get in touch with him, and it shouldn't be a problem to ask someone from him. ”

Zhang Zhun said confidently.

"That's all there is to it."

Fang Yu said obscurely.

In this matter, Fang Yu felt that he was a failure. The huge acropolis of Lingshan Wei, four thousand households, tens of thousands of people, can not get together three hundred people, but a small Xiahe village thousand households, after suffering heavy losses, there is still such courage, and so many people are willing to join the army. He felt that it was better to move to Xiahe Village himself.

There was no way, Fang Yu had no choice but to get in touch with Feng Yangyi. As a result, there are quite a lot of people who are actively participating in the patrol team on the side of Feng Yangyi, and the local patrol team in Xiahezhai can't accept so much, and they are about to be persuaded to quit! Lingshanwei has someone here, and he will support him immediately. As a result, soon a hundred and fifty people gathered, all young men in high spirits and high morale. At this point, Lingshanwei's patrol team was officially established.

At the inaugural meeting, Zhang Zhun made a brief declaration.

"Lingshanwei is not my Zhang Zhun's Lingshanwei, but your own Lingshanwei!"

"The future of Lingshanwei is in your hands!"

"Whether you are from the Acropolis of Lingshanwei or from the Thousand Households of Xiahe Village, you all belong to this land! This piece of land has the blood and sweat of your ancestors for generations, and the footprints left by your ancestors! If you want these lands to belong to you in the future and forever, you can only take up arms and fight bravely! ”

"Xiahezhai and the Acropolis should not be separated, they should be one. Whether the Acropolis is attacked, or Xiahezhai is attacked, it is all of you who are attacked! Whether the enemy is attacking the Acropolis or attacking Xiahe Village, you must fight back bravely! ”

After the formation of the patrol, they took over the defense of the Acropolis. The soldiers of the escort team basically no longer perform the usual guard duties. Of course, the patrol team is mainly responsible for the maintenance of law and order. They cannot resist the threat of war from outside. It was impossible for Zhang Zhun to ask the patrol team to take on such a task. As long as the patrol keeps the security of the Acropolis well, it is already very good.

Since the original set of ruling order of Lingshanwei was completely destroyed, it was necessary to establish a new set of ruling order. So, Zhang Zhun set up a branch of Shengxiazong in Lingshanwei, Liu Baoyu became the manager, and several relevant departments were set up below. The person in charge of each division was transferred back from the Fushan Institute, and they were the Lingshan guards who originally defected to the Fushan Institute. Although there are only a few dozen people, each of whom is responsible for a lot of affairs, this set of administrative organs is still slowly running, and with the operation of the institutions, everything in Lingshanwei is gradually on track. Farms, in particular, are growing at a rapid pace. Liu Hang once jokingly said that Lingshanwei really has the talent to run a farm. Not only have twenty farms been established in an orderly manner, but some farms have already begun to reclaim wasteland. For example, the most active farm, the Third Farm, organized more than 300 people to cultivate hundreds of acres of fields in one day. If the development continues at this rate, the field area of the third farm will soon exceed 20,000 acres.

"Everything is developing in a good direction."

Liu Hang reported to Zhang Zhun with great ambition.

At the end of August, Zhang Zhun returned to Xiahe City.

In the past few months, Xiahe City has really suffered heavy losses, and many people have died. All the officers died, and more than 30% of the ordinary military households also died. Fortunately, the local military households, because they had suffered heavy losses, had a bitter hatred for the imperial court, so everyone made up their minds to follow Zhang Zhun.

After what happened last time, the escort team returned to Xiahezhai this time and received the warmest welcome. The local military households regard the escort as their savior and hope. Therefore, Yang Zhiyuan, Feng Yangyi, Dai Yu, Wang Dingjia and others, after returning to Xiahezhai, successfully expelled Wang Dou and soon carried out their work smoothly.

Xiahezhai set up a branch of Shengxia Sect earlier than the Lingshan Wei Acropolis, and Feng Yangyi was elected as the manager. As one of the core hosts who presided over the division of fields and land, Wang Mingyu also came to Xiahezhai to help Feng Yangyi. With the efforts of everyone, the decrees promulgated by Zhang Zhun have been smoothly implemented here. In just a few days, the fields were distributed among the people, and the level of support for the convoy reached full value.

Because the population of Xiahezhai is too small and there are too many fields, everyone who meets the conditions has been given additional land. After calculation, each person has about eight acres. Relatively speaking, there are more than Fushan. At the same time, some refugees who fled from the direction of Yuezhao also obtained fields here and became a member of Xiahe Village.

At the same time, the patrol team of Xiahezhai was also established. Even though there were only three squads and one hundred and fifty people, they were quite capable. Many of them have experienced the baptism of war and have considerable combat experience. The weapons that Jang Joon equipped them with were also the best quality scimitars and spears. As for the firecracker, it is not available for the time being.

When Zhang Zhun returned to Xiahe City, there were still many places around Xiahe City, which had not been cleaned up, and the corpses could be vaguely seen. In the air, there was also a strong smell of blood. However, the surviving people are full of hope for the future. At the very least, in terms of food, the harvest is imminent. Even if it is not a bumper harvest, more than 200 catties per mu of land should be no problem. Eight acres of land is almost 2,000 catties, and after deducting 300 catties of taxes, there are more than 1,600 catties, which is enough for one person to eat for a year.

In this year, as long as the problem of food is solved first, everything else is easy to say. The problem of the peasants, first of all, is the problem of the stomach. As long as the problem of food and clothing is solved, the peasant class, relatively speaking, will be the most stable.

However, it is not enough to have food, it is also necessary to develop production.

The highlight of Zhang Zhun's former office in Xiahe Village was to build a large-scale salt drying field.

As the war continues to escalate, the blockade faced by Fushan City will become more and more serious. Everything still depends on self-reliance. This is especially true for the production and sale of refined salt. If the governor of Denglai and the governor of Shandong make up their minds to get along with Zhang Zhun, I am afraid that Sun Weina's way of private salt will not work. If you want to continue to rely on refined salt to make huge profits, you can only avoid Shandong and find another way.

To do this, first of all, there must be a guarantee in the raw materials. In other words, there should be plenty of coarse salt. Due to the division of land and large farms, the income of military households is getting higher and higher, and their lives are getting better and better. This will inevitably lead to fewer and fewer military households willing to boil salt in seawater. Eventually, it will disappear completely. There are fewer people who boil salt, and the coarse salt that can be purchased is naturally getting less and less. Now, the largest source of coarse salt in Yangjiatun is the government-run Laizhou Bay Salt Farm. However, the coarse salt supplied by this government-run salt factory could be cut off at any time. Therefore, new places for the production of coarse salt must be found.
