Wei Shuo pressed his hands and waited for everyone to calm down before saying, "I believe everyone has also seen that now we in Laoshan Trading Company are doing our best to raise food for the displaced people. But if we want everyone to survive safely, it is not enough for us to live in Laoshan, we must also actively carry out self-help and cooperate with all the actions of Laoshan Trading Company! ”

"If the king has anything to say, let's follow the rules of Laoshan Mountain."

"Okay, then I'll have people reorganize everyone, and some of them will go to the sea to fish, go up to the mountains to hunt, and try to search for meat, wild vegetables, and wild fruits; There are also some people who follow Second Uncle Yang to the beach to boil salt, and only when the salt is boiled can we exchange money to buy food. ”

"Since the king said so, we can't get it for nothing, please rest assured, the king, let's take action."

Soon the young and strong among the displaced people were organized, led by the head of the Laoshan trading company, and after a while, only the old and weak women and children were left in the open space, and these displaced people who could not work could only stay in the valley temporarily. There is no trace of life in the eyes of these displaced people, only helplessness and despair.

At this moment, Uncle Zhang led people over with food, and the white rice suddenly caused a commotion among the displaced people at the scene. Many of the homeless people hadn't eaten for a long time, and everyone couldn't help but want to get their rations as soon as possible.

Seeing this situation, Wei Shuo was not verbose, waved his big hand, and soon several young people set up a few cauldrons in the open space, and when the water boiled, the rice with white flowers was poured into the pot, and after a while, the fragrance of rice porridge began to permeate the air. Many homeless people can't help but drool.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't panic, line up and take your time, everyone has it, don't be in a hurry!"

With porridge and drinking, the uneasiness among the homeless people was suddenly appeased, and seeing the hope of the displaced people around him rekindled their hope to live, Wei Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, and Uncle Zhang simply sat on the ground.

Wei Shuo looked at Uncle Zhang and said with a smile: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Little Brother Wei, haven't you seen the scene when the homeless people first gathered, hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at you, and your heart is really hairy. Luckily, we have food in our hands, otherwise I don't know what would have happened next. ”

"Hahahaha!" Wei Shuo looked at Uncle Zhang's palpitating appearance, and couldn't help but suddenly become happy, this was the first time he felt a little relaxed since he came to this era.

Uncle Zhang was still worried about the future of the displaced people, and he repeatedly persuaded him: "Little Brother Wei, we don't have much food in our hands, even if there are no more displaced people in the future, at most it will only be enough for these hungry people to eat for three or five days." ”

How could Wei Shuo not know that with the little food he bought, thousands of people would be able to eat it up in a few days.

Uncle Zhang licked his lips and said, "If there are any more homeless people coming, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it for three or five days."

"Why don't you boil the porridge a little more thin?"

Wei Shuo shook his head and said, "No, it's already very thin." We still have to count on the homeless people to work, how can they have the strength if they don't have enough to eat? At the moment, we can only take one step at a time, anyway, we still have refined salt sold to the outside world every day, although it is a drop in the bucket, but it can also be maintained. ”

……

In the following period of time, Wei Shuo completely organized the more than 1,000 people gathered in Laoshan, and nearly 220 households were organized into ordinary merchants of the Laoshan Trading Company. In order to manage more than 200 households, Wei Shuo selected two prestigious people from among the displaced people to serve as the left and right chiefs, who were in charge of the organization and management of the daily affairs of the displaced people: the left chief managed the salt boiling and agricultural affairs; The right commander is in charge of military training, law and order, etc.

In addition, Wei Shuo also increased the number of shareholders of the trading company from the original eight to twelve, and the most surprising thing for him was that the shareholders' meeting finally added a scholar named Zhu Wen, although Zhu Wen was not a well-educated person, but at least he could read and write. Moreover, Zhu Wen's arrival completely reduced Wei Shuo's burden, and also made Wei Shuo realize that he needed to hurry up and cultivate his own talents.

In order to manage the displaced people, Wei Shuo asked Zhu Wen to cooperate with Uncle Zhang, Second Uncle Yang and other respected people to form a temporary law enforcement department, which was responsible for mediating disputes among the displaced people. Anyone who has been wronged can go to the Law Enforcement Division to seek redress from the Law Enforcement Division, and if they disagree with the judgment of the Enforcement Division, they can also file a complaint with the general meeting of shareholders of the trading company.

After the management system and organization of the displaced people were determined, Wei Shuo was freed from some mundane things, and now Second Uncle Yang was in charge of boiling salt, and the salt field was handed over to Zhang Dalang, and now he was only staring at the training of the escort team. Today, the convoy has expanded to 250 people, and is divided into 25 shi: 200 spearmen in 200 tuns and 50 archers in 1 tun.

In addition to their usual training, Wei Shuo also had them go to the mountains to cut down trees in their spare time, build shelters for the homeless, and build a wall on the periphery of the valley to strengthen the valley's ability to resist outside attacks. In order to attract the enthusiasm of the displaced people to participate in the training of the escort team, Wei Shuo stipulated that every homeless person who joined the escort team could get five catties of refined salt for free every month.

In order to train more than 200 people into an elite division, Wei Shuo can be said to have racked his brains, according to the information circulating on the Internet in later generations, coupled with the experience of military training when he was in school, with the help of Zhu Wen, after three days of sleepless efforts, he finally compiled a recruit drill subject.

Every morning at midnight (5 a.m. to 7 a.m.) the convoy assembles, first marching along the seashore for an hour, and then starting breakfast. Then the morning arrangement is to walk in the queue and cultivate everyone's spirit of obedience and discipline. After lunch, everyone had to take part in cultural studies, and an illiterate army had no future.

In the afternoon, the spear stabbing training is mainly carried out, and the queue, physical fitness and other individual training are interspersed in the middle. In the evening, each recruit should be organized by the chief to summarize and study, and at the same time, he must also participate in an hour's cultural study.

Time flies quickly, and soon it is the middle of March of the fifth year of Yongjia, after more than a month of military training, the escort team has initially had the appearance of a little soldier, although it is still far from the real elite soldiers, but the spirit of the escort team is undoubtedly revealed.

Zhu Wen accompanied Wei Shuo to inspect the training work of the escort team, and after a month of recuperation, the body that was about to die of hunger was almost recovered. For the means of Wei Shuo, the president of the trading company, Zhu Wen admires the five-body throw, especially this training, after all, he also participated in the compilation of the training book at the beginning, and he is also honored to see the remarkable results at this time.

"The owner, oh no, it's the president, Kuroko and Erlang are doing a really good job! I don't think it will be long before this escort will be able to take on the task of guarding the valley. ”

Wei Shuo glanced at Zhu Wen and smiled: "Forget it, you still call me the owner." ”

The people in the trading company are very unaccustomed to calling Wei Shuo president, everyone always calls him the owner according to tradition, and Wei Shuo corrected it many times before it was useless, and then he let everyone call him whatever they like.

Zhu Wenyun said: "President, I always forget to change my words. ”

Zhu Wen couldn't understand Wei Shuo, judging from the time of contact, Wei Shuo's family should be an undoubted fact, although Wei Shuo always denied it, but everyone on the mountain has a scale in their hearts. From Zhu Wen's point of view, it is very likely that Wei Shuo offended those in power in the family and was eventually kicked out of the family or ran away from home himself.

"If the important ministers in the court were all talents like the president, the court would not have fallen to the point where it is now."

"Where! Where! I'm all a little fuss, and I can't get on the table. Although he was proud in his heart, Wei Shuo still showed the necessary modesty on the surface.

"The president is too modest, and now the court will only talk and do nothing all day long, and what is lacking in such a crisis is a talent like the president." Zhu Wen said with some indignation.

"Huh? I didn't expect Brother Zhu to be an angry young man! ”

"What's the angry thing?"

"Angry youth, as the name suggests, is an angry youth, they are full of anger and unwillingness to reality." Wei Shuo said nonsense.

"Well, it seems that I'm really an angry young man!" Zhu Wen felt that the word "angry youth" was too suitable for him.
