One matter came to an end for the time being. The statistics on the number of barbarians were sent to Luo Ji the next day. There was nothing to say. Naturally, all men of the right age were sent to the army. After all, this was his original purpose of recruiting the barbarian tribes.

As for the women, just assign whatever work they can do to them. Anyway, Luo Ji no longer needs to worry about this kind of work arrangement. If the assignment continues, the city lords of each city and various departments will naturally make arrangements.

Finally, a large wave of new soldiers were recruited, which made Luo Ji feel much better. Moreover, perhaps because of the passage of time, the people of the former Zhou Kingdom who had always resisted joining the army gradually changed their views.

The draft order has been hanging all the time, and the number of people signing up to join the army has been gradually increasing recently. It can be said that it is developing in a good direction.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Luo Ji also took advantage of the situation and launched the "military service" system that had been sorted out for a long time, and provided quite good conditions for the people who participated in military service.

On the premise of being vaccinated in advance, a few days later, the promulgation of the military service system was well received, which made Luo Ji feel a little relieved.

As soon as this system is rolled out, the shortage of new recruits within the civilization of all realms will be greatly alleviated.

At the same time, the coarse salt, which had been fully publicized, was officially put on sale. Long queues formed almost directly outside the shops in various cities. For a while, the scene was very spectacular.

However, although coarse salt can provide essential components for the human body, once it is taken in excess, it can also become a bad thing.

Therefore, when he started selling coarse salt, Luo Ji also specifically ordered a few clerks outside each store to inform customers who were queuing up to buy coarse salt.

At the same time, each customer must purchase a limited amount of coarse salt each time. Under normal circumstances, a small bag of coarse salt is enough to last for a long time. There is no point in buying two large bags at once.

In addition, considering the efficiency of drying salt in the salt drying workshop, the quantity of coarse salt is relatively limited in a short period of time. There is no problem if each person buys a small bag, but if everyone buys two big bags,

That would be a bit unbearable.

In the past few days, the popularity of coarse salt has remained the same throughout the entire civilization of the world. In the warehouses where various stores store goods, the stocks of coarse salt are rapidly declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Faced with this situation, Luo Ji naturally sent two more warrants to the salt drying workshop. While sending more manpower, he also ordered the factory director to increase the scale and speed up the efficiency, so as to quickly process the second batch and even

The third and fourth batches of coarse salt were quickly produced.

In the next period of time, the consumption of coarse salt is expected to become very large. The reason is that they also have to prepare for winter.

Although today's civilizations in all worlds basically have no shortage of food, the fact that animals hibernate and food production decreases in winter is undeniable.

There are so many people in a whole civilization, and Luo Ji can't be 100% sure that no one is hungry, right? But this problem is really difficult to cure, and there is no way, so we can only slowly improve it.

The thing Luo Ji is currently working on improving is the issue of food preservation. Yes, he is currently making pickled fish, pickled meat and pickled vegetables.

In the past, when they stored dry food, they could only use the simplest method, which was to dry it in the sun. However, this method could only store it for about ten days at most, and it would probably go bad if it took longer.

But pickled food is different. Pickled food can be stored for a long time. As long as households in all civilizations stock up a large amount of pickled food in advance, it will be enough for them to survive the entire winter.

When Luo Ji was at home, every winter, he would prepare some pickled meats and pickled fish for himself to try, so he was pretty good at pickling food.

Looking at the pickled meat and fish hanging on the wooden poles to dry, Luo Ji clapped his hands with satisfaction, "Not bad, good, go back and put these pickled fish and pickled meat, as well as the jar of pickled vegetables below."

We will send them to restaurants to publicize them, and then we will take advantage of the situation to promote the pickling method. This winter, people should be able to feel a little better."

In response, the followers behind him naturally shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

When Luo Ji heard this, he chuckled, glanced at the followers behind him, and said, "Talk less, do more, and move more neatly."

He could feel that when his guards and followers said those words, they all spoke from the sincerity, and according to the emperor's standards, he was indeed a good emperor who did not compromise.

But he has been the emperor for a long time, and when the people under his command see him, they all become more and more respectful and awkward. Even his group of old brothers are no exception, and they are invisibly influenced by him.

separated by some distance.

In the past, he never quite understood why some people liked to talk to animals, but animals might not understand what they were saying.

But now, he understood. Gradually, he chatted more with Lve Ying and Liao Yuanhuo than with He Liang and the others...

This may be the so-called coldness in high places. If you want to be in a high position, you must first be able to endure loneliness. Fortunately, he is also a person who does not like liveliness. He must be able to get used to it soon. In this matter, Luo

It can be said that the editor is full of confidence in himself.

A few days later, after gathering together all the hand crossbows in his and the escort's hands, plus the latest batch of hand crossbows produced by the Ordnance Production Department, Luo Ji finally put together the hand crossbows for Zhou Yi.

A crossbow troop of a hundred people was formed.

Time waits for no one, and it is one day less before winter begins. Zhou Yi, who has already issued a military order, naturally does not dare to wait any longer, and hurriedly reorganizes the army and sets off the next day.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Expeditionary Army has already set off."

"Really?" Looking through the report in his hand, Luo Ji responded casually, seeming a little indifferent.

This couldn't help but make He Liang on the side feel a little strange. He was obviously very caring some time ago, why was he suddenly so unconcerned now?

"His Majesty……"

"What's wrong?" Luo Ji replied casually without raising his head.

"Your Majesty, you don't seem to care much about the Northern Expedition right now."

"So that's what happened." Luo Ji laughed and stopped what he was doing. "I've done everything I need to do. If Zhou Yi failed to wipe out the hyenas in the mountains and forests of the north,

…”

At this point, Luo Ji changed his subject slightly, "That only shows his incompetence."
