Chapter 1129: Strategic Waste

Regarding the additional tasks assigned by Li Daozong, Xue Rengui didn't have any other ideas, but after a little thought, he asked directly: "Dare to ask the general, under the condition of achieving such a goal, how many local migrant workers can be hired and how many resources can be used." ”

"Unlimited." Li Daozong directly opened his mouth and said four words, because Li Daozong knew very well that even if all the people who could work in this vicinity were hired, there were not many.

What's more, these Silla people also have farm work, and they are not so idle, so if they want to hire them, they can do it, and there is no limit to the quantity, which naturally means that there is no limit to resources.

And the resources that Datang has taken out at present are only two kinds of grain and salt!

The salt transported here is not the high-quality salt currently sold in Datang, which mainly comes from Chaka Salt Lake, but the sea salt that has been dried and filtered preliminarily.

The current Haiyan Plant of Datang was established in Shouguang, which is also an important salt-producing base in later generations! A large-scale industrialized state-owned salt trading house in Datang was established here.

However, it has only just been established and has begun to produce salt, and the current filtration of salt is not detailed enough, so the quality of these salts is not as good as that of the salt produced in Chaka Salt Lake.

But in fact, compared with the original coarse salt of Datang, it has improved a lot, and for Silla and other countries, the quality of salt is not mentioned, and it is crushed.

There is also the main cost, the cost is too cheap, large-scale drying method to make sea salt, even if there is a filtration device, the final cost, is lower than Chaka salt lake.

Therefore, even if these sea salts are transported to Silla from near the Bohai Sea, the cost is even much lower than that of grain.

These resources will be the "funds" that Datang will use to expand its influence in Silla and Baekje.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Xue Rengui directly agreed, there is no limit to the number, isn't that very simple?!

"Hmmm! Remember, all the work needs to be done in an orderly manner. ”

After Li Daozong finished explaining to Xue Rengui, the matter here meant that Xue Rengui was in charge for the time being.

And the army of the Tang Dynasty will also be temporarily stationed here, as for why it is stationed, it is naturally to find an opportunity to adjust the strategy, as for what the timing is, it is naturally Li Daozong who has the final say.

After finalizing with Xue Rengui, the next day, Xue Rengui got up early in the morning and started his "day's work".

Because, the whole barracks began to boil when the sky was bright, but the sun had not yet risen, and with the sound of a wake-up call, the whole camp began to boil.

All the soldiers got up with the call to get up, and soon the sound of "one, two, three, four" training resounded throughout the camp.

On the makeshift camp playground, except for all the soldiers who needed to stand guard and be on duty, the other soldiers were not wearing armor, but even if they were only wearing short-sleeved clothes, the shouts of killing made the entire dock boil.

Because there are fishermen on the wharf who are begging for a living, these fishermen often go to sea early, even in the dark.

And these soldiers attracted almost all the people on the pier who did not go to sea, which was an unprecedented beautiful scenery.

The dividing line between the Tang soldiers and them was only temporarily isolated by hemp rope. Today, these boundaries will be tied with wood and sticks.

After all, the area of the camp is already very large, and if you use hemp rope, the quantity will be too much. And wood is not a material at all in this era, besides, isn't wood everywhere?

The soldiers training outside continued to attract the attention of the people around them, and Xue Rengui raised his legs and entered the barracks where the cooking class was located.

The squad leader of the cooking squad is starting to wash the vegetables, and all the cooking classes that currently have more than 5,000 soldiers are concentrated here are in this area.

Their food and other supplies are currently being transported from the ship. Because of the local vegetables of Silla...... There really isn't much, just a cabbage and some greens.

"Captain."

"Captain." Xue Rengui came in, and these squad leaders all spoke one after another.

"Captain, have you thrown all of this away? It's a pity. A cooking squad leader helplessly pointed to the pot of cabbage leaves next to him and asked.

These cabbage leaves are the peripheral leaves that they plucked from the top of the cabbage, and these leaves are just a little wilted.

It's not bad, when they are usually in Datang, these vegetable leaves are cleaned and cooked directly, and Datang has only been rich for a few days? Dare to waste casually?

But here...... These are to be thrown away.

"Yes, throw it away, it's an order! This is related to the long-term plan and strategy of the follow-up army, so it must be executed, these things seem to be thrown away, but they will not be wasted. Xue Rengui said with a calm face.

The squad leaders of these cooking classes are all distressed, but since it is an order, they can only carry it out.

"By the way, the meals in each cooking class at noon today can't be the same, you can discuss it yourself. Spices and the like are fried in advance, and some of them are thrown away and eaten in the open air, so that the fragrance spreads faster. Xue Rengui admonished.

"Yes." These cooking squad leaders reluctantly agreed, too extravagant, too extravagant.

Where are they usually willing to eat like this, but now this is an order, and they can only carry it out.

Of course, eat who likes, but waste...... Nobody likes it.

And this kind of waste of orders is even more uncomfortable. On the one hand, there are orders like a mountain of military orders, and on the other hand, there is a thrifty habit engraved in the bones.

If it weren't for the military order, if it weren't for the fact that the lieutenant and the political commissar had repeatedly emphasized that these things would not be wasted, these things were also a kind of Datang strategy, and they would have to resist it.

Because as the people of the cooking class, they can't afford to waste, not to mention that many of them have come from a hard life.

But a military order is a military order, so what should be carried out must still be carried out.

The breakfast in the morning was very simple, white flour steamed buns, rice porridge and pickles, all of which were pickled directly from the boat and transported down.

To be honest, it sounds like a luxury, but for the current Datang, especially for the current Datang Navy, it is not difficult to ensure that 10,000 people eat this bit of food.

"What are you doing, you leave me half and throw it in this bucket." At breakfast, each squad leader received a mysterious order and began to teach his soldiers to deliberately leave some small half steamed buns and throw them into a wooden barrel that did not look so clean.

Occasionally, there are half, or even whole steamed buns.

There were more than 5,000 people in the entire camp, and there were more than a dozen barrels of steamed buns, some "leftover" pickles, and two buckets of porridge.
