After a brief visit, everyone returned to the chamber. Shanhai Village has just been upgraded to a second-class village, so everyone should know what to do next.
After everyone sat down, Ouyang Shuo got straight to the point and said, "With the joint efforts of everyone, Shanhai Village has been successfully upgraded to a second-level village, and it is also the sixth territory in China to complete the upgrade. This achievement, It is the result of the hard work of all the villagers, and the result of the good management of everyone here. It is worth celebrating. Therefore, I decided to hold a grand bonfire party tonight to celebrate. The preparations for the party will be made by Yingyou Responsible."
Cui Yingyou nodded with a smile, "Brother, don't worry. My little sister will definitely make this bonfire party very lively. Hehe, speaking of it, this is the first time that our territory holds such an event. By then, brother You have to perform a show yourself to add to the fun."
As soon as Yingyou finished speaking, Shi Wansui took the lead in booing and applauding. Even Zhao Dexian, a usually steady man, had a teasing look on his face, and followed suit.
Ouyang Shuo smiled wryly, "You're trying to defeat my army. But your idea is still very good, and I firmly support it. In my opinion, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together. Everyone here, everyone You have to prepare at least one show, so it will be lively." Hehe, let me make you boo. If I don't drag you all into the water, how can I be worthy of the Lord Lord's name of black belly.
Cui Yingyou covered her mouth and smiled lightly, performing a show, for her, naturally, there was no pressure. The faces of other people are a bit ugly, with depressed faces, which is called lifting a rock to shoot yourself in the foot.
After admiring Shi Wansui's face that suddenly changed from excited to bitter gourd, Ouyang Shuo continued: "Back to the topic. After the territory is upgraded, there are many things to do. Here, I will make a general arrangement. Everyone has Any comments or suggestions can be put forward later.”
"First of all, it is the work arrangement for the construction department. Although private schools, medical halls and other buildings cannot be constructed for the time being because there are no architectural drawings. However, the task of the construction department at this stage is still very important. The primary mining farms that do not need architectural drawings The simple arrow tower should be built as soon as possible. The location of the mining site should be selected and communicated with the material reserve department. Two simple arrow towers should be built on both sides of the village entrance. In addition, the 15 residential courtyards in the second phase should also be paid close attention to It will be completed in time. The most important thing is to cooperate with the Yantian Division to carry out the infrastructure construction of the second phase of the Beimu Salt Field."
"Beimu Saltworks is the only industry in the territory now, and it is also an important source of funds for the territory in the future. I have decided that in the second phase, another 400 mu will be developed, and the total scale will reach 500 mu. This will require a lot of labor. The household registration office will We must actively cooperate. At this stage, the refugees who have been spawned are given priority to the saltworks, and the total number of saltworkers must reach 250 to maintain the saturated operation of the saltworks.”
"For the Material Reserve Department, the number of people in the quarry and logging camp remains unchanged. After the primary quarry is built, 20 people will be arranged. On the fisherman's side, the number will gradually increase to 30. The militia team will be directly expanded this time. Up to 50 people. Establish a formal establishment, with ten people as a fire, set up a fire leader; The scale is 2,000 mu. According to the above arrangements, the Household Registration Office must do a good job in the distribution of personnel and the processing of the corresponding household registration certificates. The above is the recent work arrangement. If you have any questions, you can raise them now."
While digesting the information from Ouyang Shuo, the chief officers offered their opinions or suggestions on the areas they were in charge of.
Shi Wansui stood up first, "My lord, the general has something to say. If the militia expands to 50 people, five fire chiefs will be appointed. How will the candidates be determined?"
Ouyang Shuo smiled, "The chief of fire is recommended by you and reported to me for approval. Try to give priority to promotion from the current veterans, but don't promote them unconditionally just to take care of the veterans' emotions. Everything should be based on merit. In addition, the two squad leaders Zhang Daniu and San Gouzi can be directly promoted to the position of fire chief. Naturally, you, the general, will be the captain of the militia. Now, the Beimu Salt Field is on the right track. The general can just get away and concentrate on the training of the militia. As for the safety and guarding of the saltworks, Zhang Daniu and San Gouzi each lead a fire militia to guard in turn."
Shi Wansui grinned, he was obviously very happy that he no longer had to be stationed in the salt field. However, he was not the kind of foolhardy and foolhardy man. From Ouyang Shuo's words, he had already heard something strange. Asked directly: "My lord is expanding the militia force this time, but what is the meaning?"
Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly, "That's right. The purpose of expanding the militia this time is to deal with various new security challenges. With the upgrade of the territory, the sphere of influence will be 2.5 times the original. The newly added territory requires the militia to thoroughly A thorough sweep will be done to eliminate potential safety hazards. More importantly, it is expected that after half a month, there will be a wild animal riot. At that time, the territory will be attacked by a large number of wild animals. Therefore, during this period, the general must not only remove the militia The training team has taken shape. After you come down, you have to draw up a detailed battle plan for defending the village from wild beasts and report it to me for review."
Shi Wansui's face became serious, "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
Then, Yingyou stood up, "Brother, I have a different opinion on the arrangement of the number of fishermen. We only have four fishing boats now, and each fishing boat can only take two people. And the shipyard can only build one fishing boat a day. Therefore , It will take at least 11 days for all 30 fishermen to go fishing. As far as I know, a fisherman can harvest 50 units of fish a day on average. There is so much fish that you can’t finish it. I don’t know big brother What is the purpose of this arrangement?"
Ouyang Shuo understands Yingyou's thoughts, one must know that fish cannot be used as a staple food, and it is not easy to store for a long time, so it cannot replace food. In this regard, he has his own plans.
"Of course, what Yuer said is true. But have you ever thought that if the caught fish is salted and then dried into the sun? Dried fish is not a living thing, and it is easy to store. It is sold in the market. One unit of dried fish in the market costs 15 copper, and an average of two units of live fish can be dried into one unit of dried fish. And one unit of salt can be used to marinate 50 units of live fish. After deducting the cost of salt, one The one-day harvest of a single fisherman can create a profit of 355 copper for the territory. Before the first batch of salt was produced in the Beimu Salt Field, the construction funds of the territory depended entirely on fishing. As for the fishermen who do not have fishing boats, they can just Arrange for them to pickle live fish."
It was only now that Cui Yingyou understood all of Ouyang Shuo's calculations, and she couldn't help admiring him, and said sincerely, "Brother is very thoughtful, Youer is not far behind!"
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "Your don't need to underestimate yourself. I've been worrying about the funds for the construction of the territory recently, and I came up with such a solution after thinking for a long time."
Of course, this was not a temporary solution that Ouyang Shuo came up with, so to speak, just to comfort her. As early as when he chose the Lianzhou Basin to build a village, he had a comprehensive consideration. As a lord who set up his territory by the sea, if he couldn't make full use of the ocean's resources, it would be a waste of such a geographical advantage.
Sun-dried sea salt and cured fish are one of the methods he came up with to accumulate primitive capital in the early stage. For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to purchase the "Technical Manual for Sea Salt Sun-dried Salt" and the three special architectural drawings when the funds were tight in the early stage.
This is the advantage of rebirth. When the representatives of those big forces were still spending a lot of money to buy game coins, he had already developed a complete industry to continuously provide construction funds for the territory. This advantage will become more and more obvious in the future.
His current industry is still in its infancy, and the profits generated are limited, but it has great stamina. Once the scale is expanded, the profits generated will naturally be multiplied several times.
The powerful lords in the previous life have already reached a consensus that if the territory can sustainably develop, it must establish its own industry. After all, it took less than a year to buy game currency with credits.
Finally, Zhao Dexian stood up and said, "My lord, I have a question. Just now, my lord arranged for the Land Reclamation Department to reclaim another 1,500 mu of farmland. Of course, there is no problem. The question is, for the 2,000 mu of farmland, what will be planted?" Crops, do you have any arrangements?"
Ouyang Shuo decided to test him, and asked back, "Director Zhao, let me ask you, given the climate conditions in the Lianzhou Basin, what kind of crops do you think are more suitable for planting?"
Zhao Dexian was born as a farmer and has been dealing with farmland all his life. The sowing time of various crops is still very clear. He tentatively said: "At this time, winter has not passed and spring has not arrived, so it is not very suitable for planting any crops."
Ouyang Shuo smiled mysteriously, and said, "You're right. However, with the climatic conditions in the Lianzhou Basin, there is a crop that can be planted in winter, and that is potatoes. Although the best planting season in November has already been missed, However, due to the influence of the sea monsoon, the conditions for growing potatoes are still available. If we start planting now, we can harvest in April or May at the latest, completely solving the problem of food shortage in the territory.”
Zhao Dexian was taken aback for a moment, and said shamefully, "I'm ashamed, I didn't think of such a crop." In fact, he can't be completely blamed for this. After all, Zhaojiagou has always been hidden in a paradise, and potatoes are rarely grown in the village, so he didn't think of it for a while.
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "Therefore, the two thousand acres of farmland must be planted with potatoes. And the speed must be fast, try to complete the planting before the end of the month. As for the sprouts, I will buy them from the market."
After answering Zhao Dexian's question, the others said they had no doubts, and Ouyang Shuo announced the end of the discussion. After the crowd dispersed, he was going to go to the primary market to make some purchases.
Ouyang Shuo only had 10 gold coins left in his hands, and he had to reserve 4 gold coins for the militiamen to change jobs, and only 6 gold coins could be used.
He first spent 1 gold coin to purchase enough potato sprouts to plant 3,000 acres. 3,000 mu is the largest planting area of village level potatoes in Ouyang Shuo's plan.
Then, spend another 1 gold coin to buy 500 units of salt. The salt is enough for early use, and in the future, Beimu Salt Farm can produce salt by itself.
With the remaining 4 gold coins, he simply purchased 4000 units of food directly. Together with the remaining 3100 units of food and the fish caught by the fishermen as a supplement, it is enough to support the territory to upgrade to a third-level village.
After some shopping, Ouyang Shuo's pockets immediately became empty. After arranging for people to store the purchased materials in the warehouse, he suddenly seemed to be doing nothing.
