Although the wolves were cured, Yu Guo also discovered a very serious problem.
This is the issue of security. The wasteland is not like an ordinary countryside. Armed protection forces are more urgent here. Originally, he thought that he only needed to deal with bandits and looters.
But now in fact, armed forces are needed to deal with many emergencies.
It seems that the task of the system is indeed a task given according to its own development route.
Armament must be established, but how much is needed is a question. If there are too many, their food supply will be under great pressure, and it is actually very resource-intensive to raise weapons. Ammunition, supplies, and drills all consume materials.
Too little will not work and will cause more serious losses. Maybe it will waste the camp just built in an instant.
"What's the matter? Brother, why do you seem to have something on your mind?"
Yu Guo said in a low voice: "Ma Han, call Haimo over immediately, and you come with me, I have something to tell you."
Ma Han nodded, he knew that there must be something important for Yu Guo, he was always so wise, he could see far away, and always wanted to go ahead of them.
Ma Han called Haimo, and the three of them sat around on the kang in the barracks. After Haimo sat down, he asked a little puzzled, "Boss Yu, did something happen when you asked me to come?"
"Exactly, you are a businessman. Let me ask you, how much material do you need to raise your own weapons?"
"This... is very expensive. I actually need about 80 people to support my twenty or so people. Basically, four people work to support one."
Yu Guo nodded and said in a low voice, "But these four people also need to eat. Is our food enough to feed a hundred soldiers?"
"One hundred people armed? Specially used for defense? Then we need at least four hundred people to maintain. If we want to really guarantee life, there is still a lot of construction work. We need to bring in at least six hundred people. Our food is the most If it is enough to support 300 people, the pressure to add 600 people is really too great." After Haimo finished speaking, Ma Han knew what Yu Guo wanted to do, and he suddenly admired Yu Guo even more, and he had already thought of this level.
After hearing Haimo's words, Yu Guo asked a more serious question: "Can a hundred-man armed forces protect a settlement of six hundred people?"
"this… "
Yu Guo said in a low voice: "With 600 people, we need to expand. If we have more people, our goal will become bigger. By then, there will definitely be a lot of people who are eyeing us and dare to take action. We must maintain production on the one hand. On the one hand, we can deploy manpower to participate in the battle at any time."
Ma Han smiled, and he said with a smile: "It's simple. A group of people are trained as hunters. They carry guns and go hunting in the mountains on weekdays. We want them to use bows and crossbows to hunt without ammunition as much as possible. Guns can protect villages. If you are farming, you don’t have to work in the fields every day, so you work on weekdays and mobilize during wartime, and specially select young and middle-aged people with fighting ability and good quality.”
"Well, that's true." Yu Guo nodded, looked at Ma Han and said, "The key is, how do we distribute this ratio? If the guns are distributed, will there be security problems? Also, who will manage, Who can supervise? Do these people want to participate in production?"
Haimo nodded and said: "Boss Yu is right. These problems are very serious. If we find a balance, it will be easy to snowball. If we have such a big influence, we will attract more people's attention. After all We are single and weak, and the power relationship here is not complicated, just us, so they can unite and rob us together."
Ma Han started scratching his head as soon as he heard it, and he asked worriedly: "If you say that, we don't care whether we can find someone or not?"
"No, we need to find a balance and a way to improve the problem. First, it is the distribution of materials. Second, it is the selection of personnel. I plan to start divisional management."
After Yu Guo finished speaking, Haimo asked in surprise, "Partition?"
Yu Guo nodded, and he said seriously: "Build four types of areas, the core, the inner layer and the outer city, and the outer four parts. The outer area is like Lutou Fort. We manage the work, but we must reach a balance of income and expenditure as soon as possible. , make them self-sufficient as much as possible, instead of tilting our materials. The outer city can work, and the materials will provide the most basic survival guarantee. Just give them food and clothing. The lowest level of material tilt, the second category is the inner layer , this has to be isolated from the outer layer, and can only be selected and entered by the outer layer. People in the inner layer can have contact with the core, but they are not allowed to enter the core without orders. Core personnel can independently use and arrange materials. The main task of the core is to develop. The core There are also grades.”
Haimo said with a look of astonishment: "It feels very complicated, but it is also easy to tilt the supplies to ensure that everyone has food, but this is easy to cause people not to work, and they need to be spurred to work."
"Well, I have a plan. I plan to use a unified point management mechanism from the outer city to the outer city. Every time I finish work, I will register points. They have point cards in their hands, and we have to keep accounts ourselves. , It will be easy to reconcile the account at that time. At the end of each month, we will deduct a part of the points according to the necessary materials provided to them, and return the rest as point tickets, which can be exchanged to make our town generate income. "
"You mean, want a currency?"
"No, currency needs to be valuable, which needs to be supported by something itself. We use the credit system, points can be exchanged for materials, but we also need to balance the points in their hands, so that too many points cannot be generated, which will lead to the loss of materials. Hoarding, we must control the scale of transactions. We don’t have so many materials in our hands to toss back and forth. Once we don’t control them, the points will be automatically bound to the materials. It is just by giving them points so that they will not realize the points too quickly. And we also need some places where the use of points is mandatory, such as taxation. When our supplies are tight, such as supplies that can last for half a year, we can issue points to prevent them from all People run out of supplies for this month in a month, so that we can ensure that all the supplies will not be given to them, and let them think about cashing out their points."
Haimo was stunned, and he said in surprise: "Can you still play like this?"
Yu Guo said in a low voice: "In this way, the pressure on supplies will be reduced. People outside will pay point tickets directly if they want to enter the inner city. If they don't have point tickets, they can only exchange them with supplies. Ten points are equal to the value of one liter of water. Is that okay?"
Haimo is a businessman, and he is very sensitive to such things. When he heard Yu Guo's plan, he immediately began to calculate: "One liter of water can be exchanged for about ten kilograms of meat. If you do this calculation, one point In exchange for a small glass of drinking water. This can indeed be used for settlement.”
"Well, let's use this standard to price our materials. External income should be lowered. If this plan is implemented, it will allow them to accumulate points and slow down the release of materials to a certain extent. In the future, we will open up business routes and use These saved materials are matched with our armed forces to generate income, so that the investment of the armed forces will also be rewarded in materials."
After hearing Yu Guo's plan, Haimo fell silent.
After a long while, he said with emotion: "It's a genius design! It's not only bold, but also too subtle. In this case, the supplies may not need to be distributed every day, and some will be wasted if they can't eat them. If you use points , They can control their own appetite, and they have heard of the way of accumulating points to buy what they want, which can greatly slow down the consumption of materials, and even replace them. The pressure is greatly reduced!"
Yu Guo said with a smile: "In this case, we only need four hundred people to support an armed force of one hundred people. The scale can be balanced without expanding!"
