Chapter Forty-Nine: Ye Chen's Plan
So Ye Chen decisively chose to reject Lin Dong's proposal.
Ye Chen shook his head: "I won't go this afternoon, let's take this opportunity to take a good rest." And I thought about it carefully yesterday, and it's not a way to keep my liver like this, it's too hard. ”
Su Xian was a little puzzled: "Have you thought of any good way?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, what Su Xian said was right, he did think of a good idea.
However, Ye Chen did not answer Su Xian's question directly, but deliberately sold a pass: "What do you say is the most on the Beya Continent?"
"The most mines!" Su Xian subconsciously replied, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, "No, it seems that there are the most trees." Forehead...... It doesn't seem right, there seems to be a lot of sand and clay. ”
Hearing Su Xian's answer, Ye Chen was suddenly a little embarrassed.
You can't say that Su Xian's answer is wrong, because what Su Xian answered is indeed the truth.
However, this was not the answer that Ye Chen wanted to hear, because Ye Chen's original intention was actually to ask which type of people had the most people on the Beya Continent.
Because Su Xian didn't play cards according to the routine, Ye Chen could only say to himself: "Of course, what you said is very right, and the number of those things you said is very large." But what I actually want to ask is what kind of people are the most people on the Beja continent. I think so......."
"The poor are the most. Lin Dong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted Ye Chen's words, "There are the most poor and beggars on the Beya Continent. ”
"That's right! I didn't expect you to learn to answer. Ye Chen gave Lin Dong an appreciative look, and then continued, "Lin Dong is right, the Beya Continent is rich in products and has a large population. And in this huge population, the poor make up the vast majority. ”
Su Xian was so smart about Bingxue, as soon as she heard Ye Chen say such a thing, she immediately understood what Ye Chen meant.
What Ye Chen actually wanted to express was that if you want to develop your home quickly, it is far from enough to rely on the three of them alone, and more labor must be supplemented.
And the most important thing on the Beya continent is labor.
"Are you planning to recruit those poor people into your homeland?" Su Xian frowned.
In fact, Su Xian was unwilling to let Ye Chen do this.
Of course, the reason why Su Xian thought so was not because he despised and looked down on the poor as much as Qing Yao.
She disagrees mainly because the poor people at the bottom are mixed, some of them are good people, some are also bad people, some have been thieves, some have been robbers, and some have even killed people.
If you recruit someone with bad motives into your homeland, you're going to be in trouble.
I'm afraid that no one on the Beya Continent would be willing to be stabbed in the back by his own people, and Su Xian naturally didn't want to see such a thing happen.
Ye Chen actually understood Su Xian's concerns, and he also knew that it was very difficult to determine which of the people recruited into the homeland were good and which were bad.
However, in Ye Chen's plan, he didn't plan to judge this at all.
Because he had no intention of recruiting those people into his homeland in the first place.
Ye Chen explained: "Don't worry, I don't plan to recruit them into the homeland, I just want to provide them with a job opportunity." ”
"Job opportunities, but if we don't let them join our homeland, why would they be willing to work for us?" Su Xian was puzzled.
Ye Chen smiled and didn't answer Su Xian's question directly, but asked Lin Dong instead, "What do you think those poor people and beggars lack the most?"
Lin Dong replied very dryly: "Food." ”
Lin Dong has been a beggar on the Spring Coast for a long time, so he is very clear about the needs of the people at the bottom.
The spring coast seems to be prosperous, singing and dancing.
But in reality, food resources are scarce, and the poor have to scavenge for strawberries and blueberries in the bushes for food.
But this fruit-based food is not filling at all.
And Ye Chen took a fancy to this.
"That's right, what they lack most is food, but the last thing we lack is food. I have recipes for all kinds of food, and Su Xian has great cooking skills, so we are very rich in food. ”
Su Xian asked, "Are you saying that we provide them with food and then let them collect supplies for us?"
Ye Chen nodded: "That's right, the first consideration of the people at the bottom is survival, so food is the most important thing for them." As long as we are willing to feed those who are hungry, they will be willing to work for us. ”
"You're right, the people of the big family don't look down on us beggars at all, and they don't bother to recruit people from the bottom to serve them, and our homeland can take advantage of that. Lin Dong reconsidered.
Ye Chen continued: "Of course, we also need to establish a complete and standardized reward system. We can register the amount of supplies they have handed in, and when we reach a certain amount, we will give them food as a reward. And we also have to examine them while they are working, and we can consider absorbing some people who are good at work and good in character. ”
Listening and listening, the careful Su Xian found a problem: "But they don't have tools." ”
"We provide them with tools like pickaxes and axes. Ye Chen replied.
Lin Dong frowned: "But, aren't you afraid that they won't come back after they take the tools?
Ye Chen smiled confidently: "If there is no investment, where will the return be?" Don't worry, the mountain people have their own clever plans, and I have a way to let them work with peace of mind after receiving the tools." ”
Looking at Ye Chen's confident smile, Su Xian and Lin Dong also had confidence in their hearts.
Lin Dong said, "Patriarch, what should we do according to your plan?"
Ye Chen immediately began to assign tasks: "Lin Dong, you are responsible for making wooden axes. I'll give you the rest of the wood, and you can make as much as you can, preferably more than a hundred. If there's not enough wood, you cut some back. ”
Lin Dong nodded, then took the wood and went to make the wooden axe.
Of course, in this world, the materials needed to craft wooden axes, pickaxes, and sticks are completely different from those in the game.
For example, it takes 5 pieces of wood to craft a wooden axe in the game, and here 1 piece of wood is usually enough to make a dozen wooden axes.
"What about me?" asked Su Xian.
Ye Chen replied: "Haven't you been thinking about my recipe all the time? Today I will tell you one of the recipes, which is also a very simple food - apple pie. Your task is to make the apple pie. ”
Hearing the word recipe, Su Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, there is nothing more exciting than a new recipe.
