For the resettlement of these artisan households, it did not take much effort, and after being transported back by the Zheng family's sea boat, they were directly pulled to Xuejia Island, and together with more than 500 of their families, all of them were placed in the new settlement on the island.

In Yu Feng's arrangement, Xuejiadao will be his own salt warehouse and arsenal in the future. There are no outsiders on the island, and most of them are their own people, some of whom work in the salt pans and some in the workshops. Those family members also have things to do, and there is land around that is not suitable for salt pans, and these people can reclaim it and grow grain or other crops, or they can make up for it.

Due to the expansion of the army by Yu Feng, a large part of the people trained by Mu Haitao earlier were added to the Fengzi battalion, and some even became small flags as soon as they entered because of their hard training and outstanding performance, which made other people have hope in their hearts, and it is definitely promising to follow the adults. This is something that Yu Feng didn't expect, he gave these homeless people a livelihood, these homeless people are grateful, and then gave these homeless people a way to advance, these people are called dead.

Moreover, these people in the family are in the Fengzi camp, and they are closely related to Yu Feng since then, Yu Feng is developed, they are prosperous, if Yu Feng falls, they are also implicated, the so-called loyalty, nothing more than that. As long as we have common interests, we can bear the wind and rain together, and we can share weal and hardship and prosperity together.

Yu Feng set aside these artisan households separately and set up a hundred households, Liu Shengmin is of course a well-deserved official of one hundred households, and He Ma also gave a position of deputy hundred households, and the dozen or so homeless artisan households in the original manor workshop were also transferred, and together with some of the people elected from these artisan households in Tianjin, they became the general banners of each small banner of this hundred households, and everything was constrained by military law.

To make up for these artisan households, to find local officials, until now, Yu Feng and the local officials in Lingshan, do not have much friendship, simply make them up to their own army, as their own soldiers, the artisans do not seem to have much opinion on this, and even some people are happy that they have broken away from the lowly status of artisan households.

After these craftsmen arrived at Xuejia Island, they arranged the small things of the family, and the first task was to build the gun head, among which the trivial tasks such as purchasing raw materials were directly handed over to the Four Seas Commercial Bank to do, and for a time, it brought a lot of business to the iron ore in Laiwu. However, those merchants who have business dealings with the Four Seas Commercial Bank are secretly muttering, these Four Seas Commercial Houses don't know what they have done recently, in addition to buying fine iron, they actually buy copper utensils on a large scale, is it because they want to mint copper money privately.

By the time the dust settled, it was already the beginning of May, and Yu Feng saw his Fengzi battalion, and the soldiers gradually took on the appearance of soldiers, and the wooden poles and long sticks in their hands were also replaced with standard spears from battalion to battalion, and he was also very relieved in his heart.

The Fengzi battalion was set up in accordance with the military system of the imperial court, and the generals at all levels naturally followed the rules and regulations of the imperial court. At present, there are two thousand households in the Fengzi camp, each thousand households is about 1,200 people, of which Yu Feng leads one thousand households, and the other thousand households are handed over to Zhao Gui to command. Zhao Gui is a steady person, and he does things in a proper manner, which can be regarded as a talent who can stand alone under Yu Feng.

The structure of the entire Fengzi camp is: 600 households under 1,000 households, 200 people per 100 households, 4 general flags under 100 households, 50 people under one general banner, 10 small banners under each general banner, and 5 people under one small banner.

Because it is a newly established army, although a large number of salt dings have been added to become grass-roots officers, there are still many gaps in the appointment of officers at all levels. As for the deputy positions, such as those deputy thousands of households, try hundreds of households, etc., Yu Feng simply did not arrange, one is that there are not so many talents in hand, but to leave these official positions, but also to give those people below some hope for progress, presumably tempered a few times, fought a few times, there are some people who come out, it is gold that will always shine, and talents will not necessarily be buried.

Yu Feng's promotion assessment criteria are very simple, first, training. Second, military discipline. Third, military merit. Among these three points, military discipline is emphasized by Yu Feng all the time, needless to say. In terms of military merit, now that the army has just become an army, and there is no such battle, it doesn't matter if there is military merit, so as long as the soldiers who are motivated are all focused on this training, if they have obtained excellence in all training subjects, needless to say, the position of the small flag is beckoning to you.

Among Yu Feng's training requirements, there is also a fatal assessment standard, that is, officers must be excellent in all training indicators. That is to say, even if you are now in the position of Xiaoqi, but you are slacking off, your training is not up to standard, and the soldiers under your command are better than you, I'm sorry, you let Xian!! With this standard, both officers and soldiers, when it comes to training, do not dare to slack off in the slightest. Of course, the officers are afraid of losing their duties, and the soldiers also have momentum. You know, the treatment of this soldier is very different from that of an officer. Since ancient times, the level of this position has been linked to income.

The imperial court's palace newspaper said that the Dongyu Jurchen attacked Datong to no avail, and returned with a feather. Yu Feng knows that this year, the world of the Ming Dynasty has been stable for another year. He sometimes thinks that his little butterfly, crossing over, will the flapped wings cause some unexpected changes, now it seems, this butterfly effect is still an unreliable thing, the wheel of history is rolling forward, how can he be such a small butterfly can be stopped, even if it is an elephant in the way, I am afraid that it will be crushed into a ball of meat sauce. He tried his best to toss, and now it is only a small part of the seaside in Shandong, saying that he can influence history, he really thinks too highly of himself.

He vaguely remembered that it seemed that in the past few years, this Jurchen Tartar had hit the underground of the Beijing Division, and the world was shaken, and then the Tartar had gone south, to Baoding Mansion, Hejian Mansion and even Shandong Province. He didn't want to be at that time, his family and friends would become the ghosts of the Tartars, or become a member of the population of the people who were captured by the Tartars and taken to the outside of the pass, which was the most fundamental reason why he was so concerned about the power in his hands, he felt that in this troubled world, only the swords and guns in his hands were the most reliable, and the others were floating clouds.

Xu Yuanliang's letter also came in May. Xu Yuanliang, who had been walking around in the north, had returned to Nanjing at this moment. The letter first greeted him, talked to him about his parting, and then congratulated him on his promotion and ability to show his skills in this position. For this noble person who helped him, Yu Feng was naturally very grateful. Not only did he reply to the letter immediately, but he also specially asked people to carefully prepare gifts and send them to the Dingguo Mansion in Nanjing, saying that he was utilitarian or that he drank water and thought of the source, anyway, he did it.

He can catch Xu Yuanliang's line, of course, he must maintain a good relationship. Yu Feng doesn't believe that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the separation between lovers is still a chicken and egg, not to mention that they are just friends who look at each other, relying on correspondence to maintain this relationship, but it is difficult to say tightly.

Yu Feng's first girlfriend in his previous life was his high school classmate, in his own words, it was as good as honey blending oil, between lovers, what should be done and what should not be done were done, that was really a non-Qing Mo married, and the other was not married, but when Yu Feng went to work in other places and separated from the girl, what happened? In less than three years, the girl sent him a breakup letter, sent him a good person card, and then turned her head and got into the arms of others.

This is still between lovers with an emotional foundation! Therefore, Yu Feng definitely doesn't believe in the so-called bullshit saying that you are thousands of miles apart and know each other, you remind each other from time to time, so that you can keep an impression in the other party's heart, and it is very fast to forget a person. And Xu Yuanliang, as the son of the country, has so many people in contact, if you want the other party not to forget yourself, you have to rely on gifts to remind you all the time. Although this is not a good idea, at the moment, there is only this thing he can do.

At present, his career has just begun, and this side of the garrison is not a small fight compared to raising so many hundreds of salt dices when he was doing inspections. This is a real general who guards one side, and making friends with foreign aid in the officialdom is naturally a first-class big thing.

In fact, when his Fengzi battalion opened up to recruit troops, many generals and battalion leaders in Shandong were waiting to see his jokes. A garrison battalion, starting from scratch, building a large battalion, buying ordnance, grain and grass, and paying for the soldiers' food and clothing, is not a waste of money. Everyone more or less knows from their bosses that this upstart has a hard backstage, but this does not affect their ability to watch jokes, you know, when Yu Feng made a mistake and lost face, it was not his face alone.

But Yu Feng stubbornly punched and kicked like this, and established the Fengzi camp, except for looking for a piece of land in Lingshan to make a big camp, he basically didn't stretch out his hand to the place. When they learned that Yu Feng still had a salt transportation inspection function, they picked up the eyes that fell on the ground one by one, put them into their eye sockets, and looked at Yu Feng with red eyes, and even someone sourly suggested to the above: Then Yu Garrison has the skill to make money, and the food and salary don't need to be in such a hurry to go down, you see, our brothers in other places are still poor and panicked.

Of course, these small actions, Yu Feng is not aware of. Whether these ill-intentioned ideas have been adopted by Shangfeng, he has no way of knowing, but there is one thing, he is very sure, even the food and salary of the imperial court forbidden army are only paid for nine months a year, and they are often in arrears for three and a half years. Therefore, if you count on the food and salary of the imperial court, I am afraid that all his soldiers will starve to death. Moreover, he said that from the very beginning, Yu Feng had no intention of training soldiers and horses to serve the imperial court, but he was steadfast in his heart to operate the Fengzi Camp as his own private property, and this silver was naturally very pleasant and profitable.
