Chapter 305: The Great Reorganization (I)

The small peninsula with an area of about 0.5 square kilometers where the village of Risheng is located has now become a large construction site in full swing.

Thousands of Liaodong refugees and former Korean herdsmen are busy like ants, some cutting wood from the surrounding woods and carrying it to a designated place; Others dismantled the timber and ropes from the temporary camp outside Risheng Village and sent them to the same place; More people processed the logs into short, short-lived and varied timber, and the timber was piled up into a hill with plenty of manpower.

Just around the timber pile, about a mile west of the entrance to the peninsula, a small camp with a circumference of 150 meters had taken shape, and unlike the other camps, it had only three sides, and the one facing east was empty; According to the plan, the camp will extend a wall in both north and south directions, all the way to the sea.

The area enclosed by the walled area is about 1 square kilometre, and with the exception of a permanent wharf and warehouse area, it will be used as a residential area for the displaced people - no longer simple tents like on Ushijima, but regular dwellings.

As for how to build the house, Chu Fan didn't plan to care anymore, he just measured the place well, drew the land according to how many square meters per person, and the homeless people had to find a way to earn money by repairing the house - it is not too easy for the homeless people to find a job, and now there is a shortage of people in every department, as long as they are diligent, it is a matter of minutes to earn money.

In order to encourage marriage and childbirth, Chu Fan also deliberately opened the land use standards for complete families and singles when formulating policies - single people can only receive 100 square meters of land, and even if there are only two children in a complete family, they can also receive 400 square meters of residential land, and if there are children in the family, each additional child will receive 100 square meters; At the same time, it is even more generous to the soldiers of the Liao Army. If you don't have a family, you don't have to live in a military camp, once you get a family, you can get a 600-square-meter homestead, and half of the money will be paid by the Fuliao Army to help repair the house.

This policy made the single women on Ushijima unable to sit still--they had the idea of getting married as their lives became more and more stable, but now they were stimulated by this policy, and naturally their desire to start a family became more eager.

And most people's eyes. are all staring at the soldiers of the Fuliao Army; It's no wonder that the soldiers of the Fuliao Army have a high monthly salary, as well as all kinds of benefits, and they are all strong men, of course, they are the first choice for women.

As a result, those aunts and sisters-in-law who had already married became active all of a sudden, frequently going in and out of various outposts to protect people and media.

Of course, there are also disheartened ones, such as Xu Wanyun. I have to pull a few like-minded sisters, saying that I want to get the land to build a big house and be single for a lifetime, which makes Chen Shangren's head bigger, of course, these are all later words.

In this way, this settlement of about 180,000 square meters, in addition to the wharf, warehouse, road and school land, almost 100,000 square meters is used as a homestead, which can accommodate six or seven hundred people.

The same settlements. There is another peninsula called Phoenix Island 3 kilometers to the south, which is even larger. The land enclosed by the plan has reached 5 square kilometers, and the population that can be resettled has reached more than 2,000 people.

Chu Fan asked Chen Shangren to complete the walls of these two settlements within a month, and subsequent settlements of different sizes will be planned and built on the other side of Niudao, and gradually expand inland with the arrival of displaced people.

Time is tight, the task is heavy, Chen Shangren has been very busy these days - the workshops on Niu Island cannot be stopped. The third group of new refugees was almost robbed by various departments, and there were only three or four hundred people left for him to build infrastructure.

Fortunately, Chu Fan had already thought of a countermeasure for him, that is, to make good use of the thousands of herdsmen and villagers of the Liu family - they would have food to eat if they worked, and they would make money if they did well. Are you still afraid that people won't come?

Not only that, Chu Fan also spent two days teaching Chen Shangren the method of doing the work in sections and paying according to work -- the thousands of people who came were divided into several groups of logging, sawing, soiling, and carpentry...... At the same time, the entire construction site is also divided into sections, which are responsible for each group.

All the work is broken down into "work points", and after finishing the bamboo chips, the bamboo chips do not reach a certain amount, and the food is halved; If it exceeds a certain amount, it can be converted into grain or large money; Each section has a foreman in charge, set a certain number of work points as a reward, overdue fines and confiscation of work points, and reward work points in advance...... All kinds of dazzling means made Chen Shangren dizzy, he had also organized forced labor in the royal court before, and he had also used some methods, but it was the first time he had seen Chu Fan so comprehensive and detailed, so he had to sigh that he had lived this age in vain, and he was not as good as an 18-year-old young man in charge of people and things!

Chu Fan only stayed on the construction site for two days, then got up and went to the Liu family's mansion, where there were more important things waiting for him to arrange.

This is the Great Reorganization.

Among the more than 3,000 people in the third batch of displaced people, there were only more than 400 recruits recruited by the pillars, and the original plan was to double the number of each outpost, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, because with the hundreds of good horses of the Liu family, the cavalry troops must be formed immediately, so the number of recruits was seriously insufficient.

For this reason, Chu Fan planned to include those displaced people who were recruited for other departments and whose conditions were okay into the list of recruits to solve the problem of military shortage.

The core of this reorganization is the cavalry, Chu Fan knows very well that the cavalry is a technical branch of the army - unlike the firecrackers who can hit the target dozens of times and can pull it onto the battlefield, if the cavalry does not have a long time of training and sharpening, and rushes to the battlefield, it is to deliver food to the enemy!

But the good thing is that among the original herdsmen of the Liu family, there are more than 200 men of the descendants of the Song people, and these people who grew up on horseback since childhood have been really dead to Chu Fan and the Liao army after this double liberation, and when Chu Fan's conscription order was issued, there were more than 150 people who enthusiastically enlisted, and they came with horses!

With these people as the backbone, and about two hundred and fifty veterans were transferred, the shelves of the cavalry battalion were erected.

If you have soldiers, what should you do?

According to the tradition of the Fuliao Army, nothing can be worse than the soldiers for the generals, which is destined to make the first commander of the cavalry battalion must first ride very well, otherwise he will not be able to subdue the hearts of those descendants of the Song people!

In this way, the range of choices is greatly reduced, there are only a few people in the Fuliao army who are good at horsemanship, and those who dare to say that they are better than the descendants of the Song people are Liu Zhongwen and Zhao Hai - of course, there is also a savage Hailan Bao, but this guy is a Tartar no matter how he says it, and it is impossible for him to be the first battalion commander.

Needless to say, Liu Zhongwen, Chu Fan still has to rely on him to manage the whole army, how can he be the commander of the cavalry battalion? Zhao Hai's burden is heavier - the night does not collect the team has suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and he urgently needs to replenish fresh blood, he has too late to train new soldiers, how can he still have the energy to manage the cavalry battalion?

What to do? (To be continued.) )
