Chapter 29 Recruitment

"Dig! Dig! Dig! I really don't know what the master is doing to get these burial things every day!"

Da Lengtian took a hoe, and Wang Ganzi was still complaining about it. He was complaining, but he didn't hesitate to bang. He was hit hard on his forehead. He turned his head sadly, but he happened to see his father with a tiger face. He was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and looked respectful, and then waved his hoe desperately.

However, Niujia Village is not as resistant to digging a cesspool now, because just next to the nearby one, a stream of hot flames were squirting from the airways that were buried with bricks!

Biogas!

In order to ferment these fertilizers in the cold weather, Wang Hou kept firing a stove in the shed for heating within a few days. After the temperature increased, the corruption-fried fertilizer began to spray these flammable gases upwards. Now, it is the time when firewood is short of firewood and warm, and the people are the most pragmatic. They burn less firewood during the day, and have more heat at night, and they are freezing for a while, regardless of whether it is a manure fire or not, in broad daylight, even the people in Zhaojia Village came here with a pot to cook and keep warm. With this convenience, the people have more motivation to build a biogas tank, and even their attitude has made a 360-degree turn.

"Brother Zhuzi! Don't dig this cellar after digging, go to our Zhaojia Village to dig it! Everyone has prepared for you!"

Wang Zhuzi was still complaining all over, and suddenly rang out of the pit. He looked up in shock, but it was Zhao Laotianer, the village elder in Zhaojia Village, bent over there and shouting.

A few days ago, Niujia Village protested that Feijiao was going to be built to Zhaojia Village. This old guy was still blocking it. Good guy, why did he take the initiative to take this dirty thing into his village?

However, before Wang Zhuzi could finish his shock, another clan in Niujia Village, Niu Wanjin, who had a leg of a soldier in his early years, was already swaying over with a crutch and shouting in anger.

"Lan, get out of here! I forgot to lock up the master! This night fragrance cellar is hit in the village of Nanmen! Stay wherever it is cool!"

"Why are your village alone? Our village won't farm for Mr. Wang!"

"Who made the feng shui of Nanmen Village bad? The feng shui of Nanmen Village!"

In Wang Zhuzi's stunned, two old men, who were over 100 yuan a year old and one piece, were like fighting cocks, carrying a crutch and performing the entire martial arts ping-pin. The boss took action. The people of Niujia Village who were digging a cellar and Zhaojia Village who came to hear the news also started to fight. The people of this era are simple, and the cooperation between the village and the village is really taking action, and their blood and teeth are knocked down all over the floor.

Seeing that his father Wang Fu was carrying a battle of peace and trying hard to pull to both sides, Wang Ganzi hummed depressedly.

"For a manure cellar, is that as for it?"

…………

This year, Wang Ganzi is still ignorant, but next year, he will know that there is no smell of manure, so where does the grain smell come from? How reasonable is this agricultural proverb! For these fertilizers, it is indeed worth fighting.

However, Wang Hou had no intention of teaching him at this time because he was packing his luggage and going out.

In the grief of a few ducks with bare butts and belly, Wang Hou put one of his down jackets on them and put one in his baggage. Then he put a string of copper coins borrowed from Cao Hongjie on them. He put his official seal and documentary, and swayed the baggage. He walked out of the warm kang house.

In the yard, Cao Hongjie was already ready to stop working. He was not in the military. Even if he went out, the girl was dressed in women's clothes. Her hair was combed high on her head and two jade hairpins were inserted. Her hot body was completely wrapped in a big bread-like down jacket. She was holding her feet impatiently.

This time, Wang Ganzi was not qualified to follow him because Wang Hou had a new and stronger subordinates, nine Xiahou family and Cao family troops transferred from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Now, as the backbone team of the Wang family, they all followed Wang Hou's surname and Wang Hou's surname. With these professional thugs, Wang Ganzi and his men were tragically reduced to the back-to-be-sellers. When they saw Wang Hou coming out, the few people clasped their fists very neatly.

"Honor!"

"You are not a woman! You pack your luggage and pack up for so long!!!"

Cao Hong's thrilling complaints were thrown away by Wang Hou. When watching TV series in later generations, those rich male protagonists always had a few loyal, strong and capable thugs and bodyguards. This time they were all together! He looked like a nouveau riche in later generations. He heard his subordinates' loud promise, Wang Hou waved his slap proudly.

"No gifts, get on the horse!"

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

This is the soldier. With the neat answer, the nine people turned over the horse neatly, without any drag on the movements, and were neatly like one person! Although they were so angry that they pouted, when Cao Hongjie saw this scene, he didn't bother her. He also held her saddle of the rouge horse and turned over and stepped on her beautifully. He gently kicked the horse's belly with a pair of small boots, but he jogged in front.

Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Hou also pulled the saddle and stepped on the stirrup, following the young lady, but it is worth mentioning that no matter he or Cao Hongjie, the saddle now has changed a lot. The saddle wrapped in wood covered the horse's back, and the bulging saddle head and tail of the front and back perfectly cages the person in it. The soft leather also serves as a buffer between the horse. With the blessing of the Gaoqiao saddle, no one can tell that Wang Hou is actually a rookie who has only been riding for a few months.

The goal of this trip is Liu County, Yuzhou, under Prime Minister Cao.

This year, Yangzhou suffered a rare drought in the late Han Dynasty, and encountered a fierce war between the two large warlords of Cao and Yuan. The originally densely populated Huaihe River basin has now become a purgatory of bones exposed in the wild, and wild beasts are walking on the streets. Natural disasters and man-made disasters have also caused a large number of victims to escape from all directions. Some of them entered Xuzhou, and a large part flowed to Jingzhou of Liu Biao. Some forced the Yangtze River to cross the Yangtze River to the now desolate Jiangnan to make a living, and some fled to the Central Plains.

However, there was little grain in Taicang, and neither Cao Cao nor Xu Du's Hanting were afraid of the frequent changes in the disaster. Now, Li Dian, the commander of the Dianjun, led the eight thousand soldiers and the headquarters of the Ba Mansion, blocking eight to tens of thousands of refugees in Liu County, and not allowing them to continue north to go to the Central Plains.

In ancient times, population was wealth. There were almost no self-cultivated farmers near Xudu. Most of the population was dependent on the tenant slave tribes of major families. Zhaojia Village and Niujia Village under Wang Hou were allocated to him from the Cao family. Due to the loss of population caused by the war, there is still a lot of idle land near Xudu, but the population is only about 100,000. Wang Hou wanted to develop coal mines and cultivate the sky, so he could only recruit among the refugees in Liuxian County.

However, recruiting refugees these days also has many disadvantages. First of all, the issue of loyalty. The tenant farmers under various aristocratic families have cultivated for the family for several generations, and they have already formed a sense of identity like an independent kingdom. The family is often the most loyal to having children, but these refugees who flee from other places often cannot reach this level of loyalty. After a long-term escape, refugees who are forced to join forces to help are often unruly and difficult to tame.

There are also various diseases that may be carried by refugees. After major disasters, major epidemics often break out, which makes these Central Plains landlords disagree with these refugees.

Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers are an example. Since the Qingzhou soldiers recruited by the Yellow Turban Rescue Army, they have not been digested by Cao Cao's separatist group. The Qingzhou soldiers can only form their own army and are only loyal to Cao Cao. Last autumn, the one with the greatest resentment of food shortage was these Qingzhou soldiers. They were incited by Wang Hou and beat the prison officials to death. They were also these Qingzhou soldiers.

The ancients said, "Cultivate oneself and manage the family and govern the country and pacify the world!" Self-cultivation and family management are put before governing the country. Now it seems that it makes sense! If you can't manage hundreds or thousands of people in your own family, how can you govern the country?

Braving the snow, Wang Hou, who was a lizard gull in such a large enterprise for the first time, was wandering with the war horses while thinking hard about how to recruit refugees and how to manage his own enterprises!

It is definitely not good to post a recruitment notice like in later generations. We have to find a way to break up the refugee gangs that are carried together and select those who are honest and willing to work. But just a group of honest people can still not do a good job. Those slick, greedy and domineering bad people also need some.

As for the number of people, the standard family of seven and three males in this era can take care of 30 acres of land, and the 2,500 acres of plain land plus hundreds of acres of hillside forest land, recruit 700 people and then divide them into three villages.

Then the coal mine tried to recruit single strong laborers, and a hundred people were needed.

The most troublesome thing is the three hundred divisions organized by Prime Minister Cao. Now there are nine hundred generals and generals in the nine tiger and leopard cavalry. If it really doesn’t work, then put more than a dozen strong men and the servants of Wang Ganzi and others into it. There are only more than twenty places. Otherwise, the one hundred people who dug coal can be counted? This will save more than one hundred strong men’s food.

I have been spending a lot of money recently. In this era, I have always bartered goods. The most popular hard currency is grain. Now I have obtained more than 5,000 stone and millet from Xuzhou, but there are still 3,900 left. If I switch to cloth trading now, the food for a population of 1,500, plus the equipment training of the department, it should be more than enough to support the autumn harvest. And selling carbonite may make a profit.

"Honor, we're here!"

Xuchang to the southeast belongs to the North China Plain, with a flat terrain, and eleven people rode horses. They set off from Xudu in the morning and arrived around Liuxian at about 3:00 in the afternoon. Just when Wang Hou was still planning his own business construction book in his heart, a report that did not have much emotion suddenly made Wang Hou come to his senses. Looking up, a rather dilapidated ancient city was already collapsed. There were countless traces of ancient city signs appearing next to the ancient city. Luzhai surrounded a series of wooden bones and grass sheds and military camps stationed there, and the green smoke for heating filled the sky.

"Well, go and meet General Li Dian!"
