Chapter 196: Expansion of the army
Handing over the food to the survivors to plant, this is a problem that Wang Lei has long thought about, he is now not worried about eating, so these survivors who follow him can't go hungry, not to mention that now the number of second-level mutant beasts is increasing, and the fertilizer produced will naturally increase, and after storing enough fertilizer, it can be sold to those survivors, as long as these people understand the basic pollination principle, it must not be difficult to plant.

Of course, Wang Lei will not do a loss-making business, how much fertilizer can produce and how much grain, he will let Zhao Bingchang calculate an approximation, and when the time comes, the price of fertilizer will be sold directly according to 20% of the output, which is also a very reasonable thing.
As for the lack of money to buy fertilizer, it doesn't matter, the first batch can be on credit, but after the output, half of the total output will be directly collected as interest money for fertilizer.
Even Wang Lei didn't expect that after the end of the world, he would actually do the work of the landlord's old wealth, and he was also a usurious landlord's old wealth.
"Now the gathering area is developing rapidly, and on the way back earlier, I saw a lot of small traders bartering when they are doing business, and this is not okay! Now everyone is not rich in the grain on hand, and it is okay to trade directly with grain for the purchase and sale of more than a dozen catties of grain, but after the quantity increases, this trading mode will be very troublesome. After the food problem was solved, Wang Lei raised the issue of business.
Since banknotes and gold are now worthless, no one will collect cash when buying and selling, and there is no currency circulation in the market, which greatly affects the development prospects of commerce.
Moreover, the grain is often moved around, which is not conducive to long-term storage at all, and a lot of food will be wasted invisibly after a long time.
"We now have plans to issue food stamps, and we are organizing technicians to carry out anti-counterfeiting research, once the food stamps are manufactured, we will use the grain in the material reserve as a deposit to issue exclusive food stamps in our gathering area. Xu Dayong said.
It seems that he has put a lot of effort into governing the agglomeration area during this time, and the county magistrate is not so easy to be a teacher, so he must have learned a lot about how to expand the economy and develop business.
"And we plan to set up a public grain storage center, calling on everyone to store surplus grain in the grain storage center, and we will manage it according to the bank model, so that we can not only control the lifeline of the economy, but also control the important strategic material of grain. Xu Dayong reported.
In this way, the survivors in the gathering area will all be tied to Wang Lei's chariot and follow Wang Lei's steps.
"Since you have all decided, then follow your plan, I don't care about the process, I only need the result, and I will completely hand over the people's livelihood to you. Wang Lei said to Xu Dayong.
Now it seems that although Xu Dayong is eager for quick success, he is not without talent, and the gathering area is almost on the right track under his leadership, and if other gathering areas are established in the future, the model here can be copied.
Wang Lei decided to hand over the affairs of people's livelihood to Xu Dayong, and he himself put all his energy on the development of the army.
In front of Wang Lei, the reason why Qin Guotao blindly compromised and blindly stammered Wang Lei was not because his strength was inferior to others, but because he thought about how powerful the JZ gathering area was at the beginning, and when he telegraphed with Wang Lei for the first time, he even directly appointed Wang Lei as the post of company commander.
And now with the improvement of Wang Lei's strength and the collapse of the JZ gathering area, Qin Guotao couldn't wait to join Wang Lei's team immediately, but for the sake of face, coupled with Wang Lei's intentional or unintentional refusal, he failed in the end.
In fact, Wang Lei also wants to eat this piece of fat, but his own strength is not strong enough, Qin Guotao has an army of more than 2,000 people, once the merger, Qin Guotao's position is low, Qin Guotao's subordinates will be unhappy, but the position is too high, and the people on his side are estimated to have to rebel immediately, after all, Qin Guotao's team is also a group of defeated troops, and there is not enough record, Wang Lei does not dare to accept the other party easily.
So if you want to survive in the last days, the key is your own strength, the strength is strong enough, anyone has to slap you, the strength is too weak, even if it is a gathering area of tens of thousands of people, it is just a temporary storage for the strong.
Wang Lei didn't want to make wedding dresses for others, so he had to work hard to accumulate his strength.
"We have too few troops now, and we can consider expanding our troops. Wang Lei put forward a proposal to expand the army.
"How many troops do you want to expand?" Gong Er said excitedly.
He followed Wang Lei and participated in the battle of thousands of people, a team of 1,000 people, in an open area, he could fight against 20,000 or 30,000 zombies head-on, and it felt a little exciting to think about it now.
"How many automatic rifles are there in the arsenal now?" Wang Lei asked Zhao Daniu.
"There are also 81 automatic rifles, more than 800 pieces, and more than 50 machine guns for the 95 squad, but in the high-intensity fighting in the past few days, many soldiers' barrels have been scrapped, and there are not enough barrels here, once they are scrapped, they can only be replaced with new guns, and if the army is expanded, ammunition is also a big problem. Zhao Daniu said.
Originally, there were nearly 1,000 Bayi types in the arsenal, but the battle to attack the county town was too fierce, and these weapons were originally eliminated, so more than 200 were directly scrapped, and it is estimated that the remaining 300 Bayi types have not been replaced, and it will not take long, and there must be replacement equipment at this point.
In terms of ammunition, the reserve has fallen to the warning line of 200,000, according to a large-scale battle, a rifle with 200 rounds of combat equipment, and a thousand automatic rifles, in a large-scale battle, the bullets can be exhausted.
As for the reloading bullets, although there are more than 300,000 rounds, these crude reloading bullets not only have deviations in the accuracy, but also extremely damage to the barrel, and the power has dropped by more than one grade, in Zhao Daniu's opinion, those bullets are not bullets at all.
"Don't worry about ammunition for the time being, I got back 100,000 rounds of rifle ammunition this time. In this case, expand the battalion of 500 men again, and see if any of the survivors know how to use heavy weapons, I will form a heavy fire support company. Wang Lei thought for a while and said.
Although Qin Guotao sent a fire support platoon to Wang Lei, these dozens of people are enough to control four 35mm grenade launchers and four mortars, but in Wang Lei's view, this is far from enough, he needs more artillery operators, after all, in the future battle, light weapons may not have many development prospects, heavy firepower will be the main trump card on the battlefield, he must take precautions.
Wang Lei is also very helpless about the weakness of reloading bullets, after all, there are no professional personnel, it would be good to be able to tinker out bullets, and they can also be required to be as precise as the original bullets. )
