Now that it has been decided to start a full-scale war to control the whole county, what Wang Zhi needs to do is to ensure that the supplies are sufficient and the soldiers are sufficient.

Yesterday it was recruited from among the captives, and today it was recruited from the Ministry of Manpower, and after a lot of busyness, there were 3,500 more recruits in the training camp, more than the regular army, and once these recruits were trained, they could begin to expand to other counties.

In Wang Zhi's camp, the total number of people is only nearly 10,000, and the soldiers who are completely out of production account for more than one-third, which is completely reckless, and even the nomads may not necessarily have such a high military-civilian ratio, and the farming people do not have the regime to do this, and if it were not for Wang Zhi's supply of materials in the main world, they would not dare to do so.

In the morning, he recruited soldiers, and in the afternoon he went to the barracks to give an afternoon lesson to the veterans who were about to set out to exterminate the landlords, mainly to explain how to establish village-level administrative units and how to solve problems in the event of an emergency.

That night, the soldiers and civilians were watching movies as usual, while Wang Zhi was calculating the consumption of materials in the warehouse, but Zhong Yicai came to the door and bowed: "Lord." ”

"Zigui, come here at this time, what's the matter?" Wang Zhi put down the calculator in his hand and asked.

"The lord is going to send troops to clean up the big households in this county?"

"It was announced yesterday, what's wrong?" Wang Zhi asked, he announced this yesterday, what ideas he should have come yesterday, why did he come now.

"The students originally thought that the lord was going to raise money and grain to attack the big landlords, but today they found out that the lord is going to cut off the gentry's households, and the lord must not do this." Zhong Yicai persuaded: "Since ancient times, emperors have shared the world with scholars, who would be willing to share the world with others?" It's just that these landlords and gentry are too powerful. The power of the government can only be supervised to the county, and the county is all managed by these gentry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it accounts for half of the country, so in history, except for Ming Taizu, even the founding monarch did not dare to infringe on the interests of the gentry, because they knew. Once the gentry make a fuss, their throne will not be stable, and they can only share the world with them.

But the behavior of the lord, whether it is dividing the land or garrisoning troops in various villages, is the foundation of digging the gentry, once it spreads, the gentry of the world will hate the lord, want to kill the lord as a hindsight, and even unite to deal with the lord. Even with the power of the lord, in the face of the gentry who control the world, it is ......"

Zhong Yicai didn't dare to say the latter words, but Wang Zhineng guessed that he wanted to say that he couldn't win against the gentry, how could this be possible? There is an emperor in history who holds the power and can't beat the gentry, but they can't accept the consequences of tearing their faces with the gentry, just like saying that Emperor Yang of Sui and the gentry tore their faces, and then there was an emperor who had more merit than his fault. has become a tyrant through the ages like the king of the Emperor, these two people are really brothers. The real King is also said to be a very wise emperor.

But Wang Zhi has absolute force in his hands, and the gentry can't beat him even if they join forces, so he is not afraid of tearing his face with the gentry, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the emperor needed the gentry in the past, not because of the strength of the gentry." It's because the emperor needs the gentry to rule the world for him, but I don't need the gentry to rule the people for me, I can train officials myself. Even now that I have accepted those gentry, in the future they will make a fuss when they find that they are no longer able to be officials. It was much harder to get rid of them than it is now, so I decided to eradicate them now, at all costs. ”

Wang Zhi said this part, and Zhong Yicai didn't dare to give advice anymore, worried that he would harm Wang Zhi, after all, he was not a direct minister.

Sent Zhong Yicai away, Wang Zhi continued to settle the accounts, not to know, a calculation was shocked, he had more than 10,000 people, not counting others, just eating one, every day to consume 5,000 catties of rice, 700 catties of pork, 5,000 catties of soybeans, 1,000 catties of dried kelp, 4,500 catties of compressed biscuits, and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar (this is the number after today, because there were not many people who were qualified to eat rice before, so they couldn't consume so much rice, and they all ate compressed biscuits).

These are all purchased from the Overworld, and more than 40,000 yuan are eaten every day just by eating, not only a matter of money, but also the consumption of so many materials every day, it is too difficult not to attract attention.

"Damn, now it's only 10,000 people, and so much food will be consumed every day, and when the homeless people are pouring over, even if there is supply from the main world, it can't be supplied, and food self-sufficiency must be completed as soon as possible!"

Because of the food problem, Wang Zhi, who originally planned to attack Yanchuan in the north after the expansion of the army, had to slow down the expansion and decided to deal with Yanchang first and plant this season's grain.

After Wang Zhi launched a comprehensive crackdown on large households, in less than five days, all the large households in Yanchang County were swept away, followed by sending garrisons to various villages and towns, and then counting the number of fields, Wang Zhi sent dozens of documents under his command, and even called some students in the school who were good at mathematics to help, and it took some time to count the amount of land around the villages and towns under his current control, a total of 140,000 mu (Note 1).

Of the 140,000 acres, at least 100,000 acres have been abandoned, leaving only some fertile land near the river to grow some wheat and sorghum and other grains.

However, because of the lack of manpower, even with the help of tractors, Wang Zhi only decided to plant 20,000 mu of land around the camp, and the farther ones were rented to local farmers, rented farm tools and cattle copied from the landlords and distributed seeds, and sent a well-drilling team to dig wells for them, but even so, they only rented out nearly 20,000 mu of land, and the rest could only be wasted.

It's not that the farmers don't dare to occupy the land of Wang Zhi, a thief, but that no one cultivates it, many people have fled the famine, and there are few farmers left in Yanchang locally. For these small people, as long as they don't destroy their living habits, who will care if you are a thief or a bandit, anyway, the land is the same species, many villages regard the garrison sent by Wang Zhi as the steward sent by the new master's family, except for some villages who are brave enough to try the new master's catty, the rest of the people show nothing uncomfortable.

A total of 40,000 acres of land, all planted potatoes, because this thing is drought-tolerant and high-yield, and not easy to get sick and insect pests (three diseases that are easy to grow, can be solved by soaking pesticides in the seed stage), the average yield is calculated by 2,000 catties per mu, there are 80 million catties, enough to feed 200,000 people to the next harvest season.

Whenever a new homeless person came to the camp, Wang Zhi only accepted the craftsmen, women and children, and then singled out the strong ones to be soldiers, and the rest were mixed with some old homeless people who had been in the camp for a period of time, and were led by a team of soldiers to some deserted villages or large villages with more wasteland, to form a production team, and distribute drilling machines, dryland cultivators and other machinery to carry out industrial agricultural production.

These production teams are the tentacles of Wang Zhi's expansion, through them, Wang Zhi completely controls the entire Yanchang County, in order to strengthen the connection between the production team and the camp, Wang Zhi has installed a radio walkie-talkie for each production team, vehicle-mounted, wind turbine power supply, in this era of no electronic interference, the communication distance can reach up to 50 kilometers, Wang Zhi also set up relay stations in some places, and the camp can communicate with the camp at any time in any place in Yanchang County.

It has been almost a month since the official army attacked, and in this month, there have been displaced people who have come to defect, but they have been sent by Wang Zhi to form a production team after a simple selection, and now they can still stay in the camp, except for the logistics department and the Ministry of Industry, the military department and the school, there are few people left in the Ministry of Manpower, because they were all sent out by Wang Zhi into a production team, but even so, the population in the camp has also broken through the 20,000 mark, and the people of the Ministry of Industry have been cutting down trees and building sheds all day and night, otherwise the newcomers will not even have a place to live.

Wang Zhi brought a lot of cement from the main world, but without bricks, it is impossible to build a house entirely with bamboo poles and concrete, which is too wasteful of cement.

As for the brick factory, the tunnel kiln was built a week ago, but after the test firing, it was found that the brick kiln was not good, there was a mistake, and a new kiln was being rebuilt.

However, at this time, what bothered Wang Zhi the most was not the problem of bricks, but the problem of oil. The transport team, which has been expanded to 100 tractors, needs oil, the drilling rig of the drilling team needs oil, and the production team's cultivator needs oil.

Today, driving the empty tanker truck to the No. 3 world, Wang Zhi asked Feng Sha, who was driving the tanker truck full of oil to hand over: "When will the oil refining equipment I want be good?" ”

"What you want is a fully automatic point-and-shoot operation of oil refining equipment, and the structural equipment has to be redesigned, where is it so fast?"

Is it really not done well or are they procrastinating, Wang Zhi doesn't know, but now he can only rely on the technology of the school city, and he can only urge, and he can only return with dissatisfaction if there is no result after the destruction.

drove the tanker truck back to the third world, and got off in the shed specially built for the tanker, but saw a telegraph room worker standing outside with an anxious face, the telegraph room was responsible for receiving the news sent back by the outside production team and the garrison through the walkie-talkie, seeing that he was anxious, it was definitely the outside production team that had an accident.

Seeing Wang Zhi get out of the car, the staff in the telegraph room immediately stepped forward to report: "General, the production team of Dahezhuang (Note 2) has sent back a message that they are being besieged by a group of mountain bandits of unknown origin, and the number of enemies is nearly 100. ”

"Did you notify the garrison of Upper River?" Wang Zhi asked, Dahezhuang belongs to Shanghe Town, Wang Zhi garrisons a platoon in each town, and after the production team is attacked, he can directly notify the town's garrison to go to support.

"I have been informed that the third company and the second platoon of the garrison of Shanghe Town have sent troops to support ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, another telegraph clerk came over with an anxious look on his face. (To be continued.) )
