Chapter 57: Reward
Not to mention how the yellow turban is.
After Xiao Jing occupied the first layer of the pre-Qin secret realm and reaped a lot of benefits, he first returned to the barren mountain village and explained Guo Yun's affairs.
Among them, the focus was on the 'high-end tavern', and after Guo Yun patted his chest and promised to 'build it as soon as possible', Xiao Jing was satisfied.
On the one hand, the completion of a high-end tavern is likely to meet the conditions for the upgrade of Barren Mountain Village and be promoted to a town.
On the other hand, in the future, he can count on this high-end tavern to attract him a lot of talent......
The more he develops, the more Xiao Jing feels that there is a lack of talent.
From war to military generals and civil servants, to life to professional horse breeders, blacksmiths, tailors, carpenters, etc., there are all kinds of shortages.
After all, Barren Mountain Village is just a village, and even Daliu Town is only a border town in Dahan Border County, and talents are so scarce that he can't even find a qualified horse breeder.
In the last trade, he obtained some stallions from the Tamu tribe, and even placed them in the horse farm (from the Zhao family).
However, I wonder if there is a lack of professional 'horse breeders', and the growth and reproduction rate of those horses is always not up to the standard shown in the building......
Of course, this is just an abbreviation of Xiao Jing's lack of talent.
In fact, high-level blacksmiths, high-level tailors, carpenters, etc., are all lacking in barren mountain villages.
At present, among the living talents in the barren mountain villages, the talents with the highest level of life occupation have barely reached the 'intermediate' blacksmith (the blacksmith occupation proficiency is 'skilled').
An intermediate blacksmith can barely create a 'Stream (Ash)' grade weapon, and as for a higher-grade weapon, it is okay to repair it, but if you want to create it, don't even think about it.
This also leads to the fact that the weapons he uses now are of the highest 'second-rate (blue)' quality, and they are all 'captured'!
However, there is a shortage of high-level talents in the barren mountain village, but there is really no shortage of low-level barren mountain villages.
Of course, there is no shortage, but due to the limited output of the iron mine in the barren mountain village, there are not too many low-level blacksmiths......
Thinking of minerals, Xiao Jing frowned unconsciously.
Barren Mountain Village, Daliu Town and even the entire Yanmen County, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious, here is close to the desert, there are large grasslands, the grasslands are abundant, to be honest, the war horse resources are very rich.
In addition, the border counties are often invaded by foreign races, and the people here have an extremely strong martial atmosphere, so the quality of the soldiers is extremely high.
It is rumored that the Yanmen County Guard, Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, was trained by the fierce people in Yanmen, and was famous in the entire Bingzhou.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, one is the lack of minerals, all kinds of minerals are lacking, otherwise how could Xiaohezhuang be entangled with barren mountain villages because of an abandoned 'salt mine'.
The second is the lack of arable land, in other words, the lack of grain, don't look at the grain fields of Daliu Town, which are often tens of thousands of acres, but you must know that Daliu Town and Xiaohezhuang together occupy the only plain in the entire Shanwu County, 'Woniu Plain', and the grain output of the two places accounts for nearly half of the entire Shanwu County.
The other towns and villages in Shanwu County are not having a good time, and they are starving all over the land, otherwise why can the Yellow Turban Governor gather tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, and he really can't survive......
Originally, the barren mountain village was also extremely short of food, but after occupying Daliu Town, this situation was alleviated by most of it.
But now, the shortage of minerals, Xiao Jing slowly feels it.
The iron mine in Huangshan Village has a daily output of 150 units of minerals, and the output is very low, which also leads to the fact that even if Xiao Jing has the intention to recruit blacksmiths, the blacksmith shop will only create about 60 pieces of 'white' quality equipment at most every day.
"The shortage of minerals must be solved as soon as possible!" Xiao Jing said secretly in his heart.
"However, it is imperative to build a high-end tavern as soon as possible to prosper the territory and attract talent......
……
After the war, it should be a reward for meritorious deeds!
Of course, there is nothing to say, the first merit of Zhou Cang and Cao Xing, both of whom have made great contributions.
Because of this, Xiao Jing was a little hesitant when it came to the reward.
As if seeing the hesitation on Xiao Jing's face, Cao Xuan took a step forward and said loudly:
"Lord Yu, the first merit of this battle should be Commander Zhou, if it weren't for Commander Zhou occupying the altar, I'm afraid we would have to be entangled with that terracotta warrior for a while!"
When Zhou Cang heard this, a smile appeared on his face at first, but soon he also stood up and said reservedly:
"Don't dare, Cao Commander's archery technique really surprised me! If it weren't for Commander Cao's head-on confrontation with those terracotta warriors, I wouldn't have been able to go so smoothly......"
Seeing this, Xiao Jing already had a plan in his heart, so he said:
"Alright, you two are the first to act."
After a pause and a moment of silence, he continued:
"Commander Zhou, I will reward you with the 'Great Qin Crescent Formation Training Method', I hope you can train here to become a stronger army in the future!"
As he spoke, Xiao Jing took out the 'Great Qin Crescent Moon Formation Training Method' secret book obtained from the secret realm from his arms and handed it to Zhou Cang.
The Great Qin Crescent Moon Formation Training Method is a secret book, and whether or not you can comprehend the 'Crescent Moon Formation' depends on your understanding and luck.
[Book]: Great Qin Crescent Formation Training Method
[Type]: Military cheats
[Quality]: Blue
[Utility]: 1. The military is in formation, recording a large number of military formations, changing formations, marching, and arranging troops.
2. Crescent Array, read the book a hundred times, and its meaning is self-revealed! After reading this book effectively, there is a 1% (the higher the understanding, the higher the probability) probability of comprehending the special military formation 'Crescent Formation'!
[Requirements]: None
Number of uses: Unlimited
[Brief Description]: Training cheats from Gu Qin......
Zhou Cang looked at the cheats in front of him, was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the cheats, and thanked him: "Thank you, lord!" ”
The Great Qin Crescent Moon Formation Training Method belongs to the secret book, which can be used as a family inheritance, as long as the generals who comprehend the 'Crescent Moon Formation', the soldiers who are trained will bring their own 'Crescent Formation'.
Today's Fufeng Ma clan, Liaodong Gongsun clan, Qiaoxian Xiahou clan, Cao clan, etc. all have similar secret book inheritance.
The reason why the family is called a family and is respected by the people (rulers) of the world is that it controls a large number of assets and armaments, and the second is that it has a deep background in the secret books in its hands.
With the cheats in hand, the children of the family often 'read through' since childhood, even if they don't open their minds, they can gain some 'comprehension', and comprehend the 'battle array' and 'strategy' that the disciples of the poor sect and the commoners can't reach at all......
This is also one of the important reasons why the children of the family despise the poor and untouchables.
"As for Commander Cao......"
Xiao Jing pondered for a moment, considering that Cao Xing worshiped the 'leader' when he first appeared in the officialdom, this reward is not easy to be too heavy.
After thinking about this, Xiao Jing spoke: "Commander Cao, the bounty is 5 taels, and the fertile land is ten acres!" ”
"Thank you, Lord!!"
When Cao Xing heard this, his face showed joy, and he hurriedly thanked him.
The reward was not as good as Zhou Cang, but Cao Xuan was not displeased at all.
He also knew that his position of 'leader' had already been a bit of a step to the sky, which was criticized, and it was already very unexpected for him to make a great contribution at this moment, and to get gold and fertile land.
Moreover, 5 taels of gold and 10 acres of fertile land are already considered a heavy reward!
After all, even in Daliu Town, the price of one acre of fertile land has long exceeded 1 tael of gold.
Ordinary people, who have worked hard for half their lives, have never seen enough gold to save enough to buy an acre of fertile land......
And he received such a reward after only one battle, and his net worth was instantly richer than some ordinary rich people in Daliu Town, which couldn't help but make him look forward to the war......
"As for the meritorious servants under you, in recent days, they will be rewarded according to their merits according to their merits!!"
Xiao Jing thought of the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions to his subordinates, and spoke.
"Yes!"
……
Buzz!!
The barracks in Barren Mountain Village, the high platform of the training ground was noisy, and all kinds of voices were noisy, and the solemn demeanor of the barracks in the past was completely missing.
Li Ergou, one of the captains of the pikemen in Daliu Town, is in charge of five pikemen.
He got up early in the morning, thinking that he still needed to practice early today, so he hurriedly set up his own camp and came to the training ground, but he was stunned to find the noisy scene.
Surprised, and incredulous, he grabbed one of the pikemen and asked, surprised.
"What's going on ahead, aren't you afraid of being punished by the military law?"
Zhou Cang himself was born as a civilian, and he had never read any training methods on weekdays, so his training methods were very rude.
First rely on strong force to forcibly subdue the recruits, and then adhere to the principle of 'as long as you don't die, you will practice to the death', first crazy training of recruits' physique, and then training military law!
Therefore, in the entire pikemen barracks, the military law is extremely strict, and the slightest mistake and being caught by the inspector means 'crazy training'!
Of course, one of the most important reasons why Zhou Cang dared to train these pikemen so frantically was because Xiao Jing would from time to time make people provide the pikemen with meat from the pigsty and chicken farms in Daliu Town, and ordinary food was provided in unlimited quantities......
It can be said that the treatment of pikemen in the pikemen battalion is even comparable to that of some scribes......
Even because of the unusual treatment of the pikemen, Niu Yang, who was responsible for handling the daily affairs of Daliu Town and measuring expenses, secretly looked for Xiao Jing several times......
But they were all left behind by Xiao Jing, after all, in his opinion, it is better to train thousands of ordinary soldiers than to train two hundred elite soldiers.
Of course, a major reason for taking the elite route is that the population of Barren Mountain Village and Daliu Town together is just over 30,000, which seems to be a lot, but the population is large and the population can become a 'soldier' are two different things!
