Chapter 13 Food Arrives (Recommend! Subscription)
Situ Jin asked Lu Wei and those people who were with him to go to the nearby river to wash their bodies first, and then asked Gao Wen to ask everyone to take out some of their idle clothes and give them some to change into, and when Lu Wei and the others reappeared in front of Situ Jin after taking a bath and wearing clean clothes, it was already evening.

Although the mental outlook of these people has been renewed, they all look yellow and thin, and malnourished.
Lu Wei walked up to Situ Jin, and Situ Jin asked, "Lu Wei, how many of you are there?"
Lu Wei replied: "With me, we originally had a total of 320 people, of which 32 had died for various reasons on the way to escape, and now we have 288 people left!"
Situ Jin nodded and looked behind Lu Wei, only to see that most of the young men behind him were young men under the age of 30, and their eyes were full of friendship when they looked at him.
Lu Wei said to Situ Jin: "Benefactor, building a new city is a big project, and there must be a lot of materials to prepare, I hope you can have a preparation in your heart!"
Situ Jin nodded, called John in front of Lu Wei, and said to Lu Wei: "This is John, if you need anything next, just tell him directly!"
Lu Wei nodded to John, and said: "Erland Island is a new land that has not been explored, presumably there are many useful raw materials for building a city on the island, we want to go to the island as soon as possible to have a look, and by the way, survey the specific area and topography of the island, so as to make adequate preparations for the next step of planning and building the city!"
Situ said: "The island has been untouched for a long time, coupled with the lush vegetation and hot and humid climate, a large amount of miasma has formed now, and ordinary people can't go deep into the island at all!"
After a pause, Situ Jin said again: "However, I have arranged for someone to do my best to solve this matter, and I hope you will wait patiently for some more time." ”
.......
Three days later, the first caravans of grain arranged by John finally arrived.
When he saw the rows of carriages full of sacks and bags parked in front of him, all the soldiers had a look of curiosity on their faces.
Gao Wen happened to be arranging training projects for everyone, and seeing that everyone's enthusiasm had not been high, it happened that the food team arrived at this time, and he immediately said: "Have you seen it, Lord Baron has already delivered all the food for everyone, and everyone will not need to go to the team to find food to eat in the future, we will have food to eat in the future!"
Hearing Gawain's words, everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
"Grain? These cars are full of grain?"
"Really, it's fake? Since I came here, I haven't seen a grain of grain for two years!"
"Don't fool me, where did the Baron get all this food?"
"Yes, what about our more than 5,000 mouths! The empire doesn't care about us, how can he get so much food at once, Lord Baron?"
"If I can really eat food now, then I don't want anything else!"
.......
Hearing everyone's words, Gao Wen was about to speak, but he saw Situ Jin beckoning to him not far away, signaling him to call some people over to carry the grain down.
Gawain randomly ordered some people in the group and led them towards the grain convoy.
When the hands touched the sack and felt the heavy grain in the sack, everyone finally believed that the food in front of them was real.
The strength of the people was great, and the grain was quickly transported off the carriage by everyone, Gao Wen ordered the people to temporarily build several stone houses to store grain, put all the grain transported into the stone houses, and then specially arranged a team of people to guard the grain.
With food to eat, there was no need for everyone to go out to forage for food by themselves, and all of a sudden everyone's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Wen redivided the more than 5,000 soldiers according to the plan discussed with Situ Jin before.
Of course, the division method is not according to the military hierarchy of the empire, but according to the hierarchical division method set by Situ Jin, which is still based on a squad of 25 people, on top of which, 4 squadrons, that is, 100 people, form a squadron, and the commander is the squadron leader, 10 squadrons, that is, 1000 people, form a battalion, and the commander is the battalion commander, and 5 battalions, that is, 5000 people, form a regiment, and the commander is the commander.
After the team was redivided and recombined, the corps commander was of course temporarily represented by Gao Wen, and at the same time, according to Situ Jin's request, Gao Wen scattered the 500 people of the original 13 battalions and assigned them to each squad.
After the division of the military system, except for the people of the original 13th battalion, everyone else felt very uncomfortable, and because of the standing power of Situ Jin when he saw everyone on the first day, no one finally said anything against it.
Of course, being afraid of Situ Jin is only one aspect, and the policy of carrots and sticks is very effective at any time, and if you hadn't seen the food arrive with your own eyes, I am afraid that you would not easily cooperate with this small reform of the military system.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Gareth and the others, who had finished their investigation on the island, also returned, and at this time, more than 200 people including Geraint, who had been separated from Situ Jin and his party in front of the Continental Academy, also arrived.
Situ Jin walked out of the military tent and was about to meet him, when a small figure rushed towards him from a distance, and soon, he threw himself into his arms.
"Brother Situ!" The owner of this little figure is none other than Lu Baba, who came here with Geraint and the others.
Situ Jin smiled and touched Lu Baba's little head, and at this moment, Gerante also walked over with everyone.
Walking in front of Situ Jin, Gerante smiled and said: "This little girl has been urging us to hurry all the way, saying that if we want to see you, our ears will grind out calluses!"
Situ couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't encounter anything on the road, right?"
Geraint shook his head, "No, we had a good journey!"
After speaking, looking around, Gerante smiled: "But Situ, your situation here is much worse than I thought!"
Situ Jin said: "I don't have anything here now, but with you here, I believe that the day when I have everything is not far away!"
For the time being, although Geraint and these people came, there was nothing to do, so everyone could only ask Gareth and others who had already gone to the island to investigate the situation on the island as much as possible, and they would be ready to go to the island in the future.
A week later, another long convoy arrived, this time not with food, but with John's first batch of medicinal herbs from within the Empire.
After obtaining these medicinal materials, Ralph immediately took several pharmacists to devote himself to the development of drugs to resist miasma, and ten days later, he successfully developed the relevant drugs. In addition, it has been tested that if you put a medicine bag made of this drug on your body, you can prevent miasma from invading the human body.
