With the increasing number of cottages and the steady progress of cottage construction projects, the security and security tasks of cottages are increasing day by day, and there is a shortage of manpower, and they are busy every day. Moreover, the newcomers are still very unfamiliar with the rules of the cottage, which makes the order of the cottage fall into chaos for a while, almost paralyzed.

Witt also saw the seriousness of the security problem in the cottage, and specially approached Bandni to tell the matter.

"The recent security problem in the cottage, you must know better than me in your heart. We can't discern these newcomers, but we can't refuse them all. After Fei Zhuang came to attack, the cottage guards suffered heavy losses, there were few combatants, and the robbers who came to take refuge did not know their loyalty. In this case, I think it is necessary to elect fertile people among the villagers to act as a new force for guards, what do you think? Witt explained his intentions to Bandney.

"The owner of the village is indeed fully considered, the security in the cottage is indeed short of manpower, and Fei Zhuang suffered a defeat last time, although it will not come again in a short time, but it will definitely not give up, and the garrison force of the cottage cannot be ignored. How does the owner plan to adjust the garrison ratio? Bandney nodded in agreement, and then wanted to confirm what Witt had in mind.

"In the past, the cottage was short of materials and its affordability was limited, so only one guard was selected from among the ten villagers. Nowadays, the processing factories and carpenter workshops of the cottage, and even the caravans between the Fengzhai and the Riwa Cheze can generate income, although most of the income is flour in kind, but it is also a reflection of the financial capacity of the cottage According to the current situation, I think twenty villagers should be enough to provide three cottage guards, and there is still a financial surplus for the cottage, what do you think? Witt had been thinking about it for days, and immediately told Bandeni what was in his mind.

Banderi was most familiar with the situation of the former village, and according to the financial capacity of the cottage today, the proportion of guards could be as low as 20% (the guards of the cottage are also included as part of the villager), that is, ten villagers could provide two guards, and Nawit's proposal would be stress-free and would provide a virtuous circle for the development of the village.

After thinking about it for a while, Bandeni nodded in agreement: "The subordinates of the village owner think that it is feasible, and now there are more than 600 people in the village, so it is calculated that there are 90 garrison forces, not counting the robbers who came to take refuge and a total of 40. In this way, the garrison force should be in a good state. ”

"That's good, do as you want. The weapons and armor in the village are quite sufficient for the time being, and archers, spearmen, and axe and shield soldiers each account for one-third. As for the robbers who took refuge, they had already familiarized them with the rules in the village, and it was best to break them up and assign them to the squads of various arms, but out of the cultivation of obedience thinking, the caravan escort task could not be stopped. The team leaders of each class remain unchanged, and they are still served by Rum, Safin, and Star. The number of garrisons has increased, and the names and slogans of individual arms should be more standardized during training. You are the commander-in-chief of the garrison, and you will report the results directly to me. ”

"The subordinates thank the lord Longen, and never disappoint the high expectations of the village owner!" Banderney was visibly agitated. In the past, Banderi was only a cavalryman under Warishinpoye, and although he had fought on the battlefield for many years and had a lot of battlefield experience, he was useless due to his limited status. Now following Witt, he can lead more than 100 people. This garrison, with a little careful training and no inferior armor, will not be inferior to a regular army. Which hot-blooded man doesn't have a dream of being a general?

Witt looked at Banderni's self-absorbed expression, suppressed the joy in his heart, and said calmly: "It's been a long time since the village was rebuilt, so you can accompany me to the front village to inspect it!" See where further improvements are needed. ”

Banderi was ordered to follow Witt's side, and the two, accompanied by several guards of the cottage, walked straight out of the main hall and entered the front village through the elevated chain bridge.

Because of the increasing population, in order to ensure the safety of Witt and others in the main village, Bandeni built a small stone gate at the entrance of the chain bridge leading to the main village in the former village, and there was an iron gate that could be closed flexibly. There are guards at both ends of the stone gate day and night, and the villagers are forbidden to break into the main village without permission.

Witt and Bandeni entered the former village from the chain bridge, and the two guards at the door immediately bowed their heads to show their respect for the leader.

Witt looked back at the chain bridge that was incompatible with Shimen, and thought to himself that if there was a stonemason in the village, he would definitely build the chain bridge into a stone bridge.

The cottage houses are being remodeled en masse, transforming the original simple single-storey wooden houses into three-storey houses. A small number of houses have been built, and the staircase of this three-storey house is placed on the perimeter of the house, and the second and third floors are connected by corridors and stairs. The rooms in each corridor have individual door locks, so that each room does not interfere with each other, and the corridor does not occupy the usable area of the house. The whole house looks quite like a hotel, and I have to say that the house set up by the carpenter is really a bit magnificent. Witt looked at the rows of houses printed out of molds, and his heart was quite refreshed.

It's just that these three-storey houses are only a corner of the former village, and most of them are still bungalows, and it is still too early when all the cottage houses are completed.

Most of the people who were busy building houses with thick wooden stakes were newcomers. These newcomers are enthusiastic about building their own houses. And those villagers who moved in the first place, because it has been harvested in the autumn, and there is no grain tax in the cottage, the villagers have a surplus of wheat flour on hand, and they are busy cashing in the wheat flour on hand to grab profits.

Ever since Witt decided to set up a caravan guard, a department has been set up in a single empty house in the cottage to escort goods. The villagers only need to hand in a certain amount of dinars or flour as a certain fee, and they can directly exchange surplus flour and other items for dinars directly in the caravan department, and there will be a special caravan in the department to escort the products to the Riwa cart to earn the profit difference.

There are also some villagers who pay a certain transportation fee, and the caravan entrusted to the department will buy some daily necessities in the Riwa car. The caravan was carried out under the name of the Fesdena caravan, and there were several caravan guards who were genuine and knowledgeable in horsemanship. These guards were all old fritters who were injured and stayed in the cottage to take refuge in Witt and often went in and out of Riwa Cheze, so the hidden relationship between Fengzhai and Riwa Cheze was gradually established and gradually stabilized.

The villagers gradually saved some assets because they had surplus wheat flour in exchange for the dinar. Banderi told Witt that a middle-aged man once preached to other villagers in the bustling area of Qianzhai, claiming that he hoped that the villagers would lend him the dinar or wheat flour they had, and that he wanted to set up a bread processing factory in Fengzhai, and that after making a profit, he would return the principal and interest to the people. Who knew that although the villagers had some surplus money and food, it was not enough to raise such a heavy fund, and in the end the matter was closed.

Witt listened to Bandney's joking story, but he was quite interested in this person, and it also confirmed what Witt saw in the book: the germ of business is quietly born!
