Great Tang princess

Chapter 485 Recruitment Plan
The Chinese New Year in the barracks is quite lively. Li Yuechen ate in the cafeteria with the soldiers, and it was quite interesting to watch the soldiers drink and make noise.

Of course, what they drank was not liquor, but kvass.

After several months of experiments, this thing has also been successfully produced, but it is a non-bubble version.

According to Li Yuechen's calculations, the alcohol content is estimated to be below 5.00%, maybe even only between one and two, so let them drink it as a drink.

But with her acquiescence, several officers secretly replaced the kvass in the jar with rice wine, and those who celebrated the Chinese New Year drank a little to satisfy their cravings.

This thing has not been named after it was made, but it must not be called Kvass, but among the soldiers, it is called "bread water".

Because this thing is fermented with dry bread, the soldiers thought it was easy to call it that.

Just like Immortal Drunk, in fact this name was not chosen by Li Yuechen, it was all called by outsiders.

She doesn't care about this, after all, she is not the kind of character that my mother likes to name. In fact, she hates naming.

When I went to online games in the past, I often had to waste a lot of time on naming.

After eating, a group of children from the royal family ran over and asked Li Yuechen to tell them stories and play with them.

I usually don't have so much time because of my busy schedule, but now that it's Chinese New Year, I have found an opportunity.

It didn't matter to Li Yuechen, after rewarding the officers with some New Year's gifts, he took the children and left first, to tell them stories and play with them for a while.

During the holiday, these children can also go back to their own house in the family area to rest for a while.

As children of the royal family, even if they came to the military camp, they would be accompanied by servants to take care of them.

It's just that they usually live in the military camp, and the servants are not allowed to enter, so these children do their own things, whether it's washing clothes or cleaning.

Just because the dignified royal children have to wash their socks by themselves, many people have cried because of this, but there is no thorn in the army that cannot be avoided, and they become more and more proficient after getting used to it.

But returning to the family area after the holiday is different. There is no one to check the internal affairs, no need to fold the quilt by yourself, and no need to wash the socks by yourself. It is back to the life that the royal children should have in the impression.

But because he was basically in the dormitory of the military camp all year round, he felt a little uncomfortable being served now.

Of course, the family members did not have the luxury to have a villa for each person, and they were basically allocated according to the relationship.

For example, the same father and father are divided into a villa. Anyway, there are quite a lot of rooms in it, and brothers and sisters can all live there.

As for those who have no biological siblings at present, they should live with others in the same situation. For example, Li Xian's eldest son, Li Chongrun, was arranged to live with the three brothers Li Longji.

But today is New Year's Eve, according to the custom, one should stay up late, so Li Yuechen entered one of the houses, surrounded the children and began to tell them stories.

"Well, today we will talk about Jack-Jack and the Kingdom of Giants..."

"Auntie, I've already said this!" Li Chongrun reminded.

Li Yuechen put down the hand that had just picked up the teacup: "Have you already said it? Then change it. Today I will tell you the story of the White Snake..."

"I've already said this!" Li Longji reminded.

……

Yilian told several stories, and the children's eager reminders have already been told.

This made Li Yuechen feel a little headache. In fact, she knew a lot of stories, but many of them were not suitable for telling them.

For example, in a story like Snow White, if a character like the Evil Queen is told, something may happen. The story cannot be told casually.

After thinking about it, Li Yuechen's eyes suddenly brightened: "Speaking of which, let me tell you about the case of Di Renjie and Snake Spirit..."

This is what Li Yuechen suddenly thought of, since those stories have been told, why not tell them a fictional story with real people as the background.

Didn't Di Renjie burn many obscene temples in the south of the Yangtze River a few years ago? The so-called snake spirits should be the people behind these obscene temples who try to rebel.

As long as it is slightly polished, it can become a story about Di Renjie's deep understanding of righteousness, the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, and the safety of the world.

Anyway, Mom and Di Renjie have a pretty good relationship, and they probably don't mind being included in the story... right?

So the story of Di Renjie, who has been transformed by the devil, fighting against a rebel gang named Snake Spirit unfolded like this.

In fact, Li Yuechen did this purely for fun and had no other meaning, but what she didn't expect was that because the current royal family children often go out to play with the children of the surrounding fishing villages on Saturdays and Sundays holidays, so they also took The story was told to them.

And these children often go to the city to sell fish with their parents who are fishermen. Especially in winter, the fish can be stored for a longer time, so there is no need to make salted fish for sale.

When selling fish in the city, this group of children would also play with the children of the poor in the city, and then told the story, but it happened to be heard by the passing merchants...

Even in this era of blocked information exchange, really interesting things can often spread far.

……

On the first day of the new year, Li Yuechen got up early again, put on a Taoist robe and recited scriptures, which is a compulsory course on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

Although the military camp and religion don't always feel compatible, but the princess, after all, is an aristocratic class, and it's okay to have some privileges.

Li Yuechen doesn't hate religion, and even thinks it is necessary for its existence.

At least, if religion propagates the theory that evil is rewarded with evil, it can also reduce the occurrence of vicious incidents to a certain extent.

In fact, many things should not be one size fits all. Labeling all religions as "superstitions" is actually a bit too extreme.

The morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year was spent chanting scriptures. To be honest, it was quite boring.

The children have all gone out to play, so Li Yuechen doesn't have to worry about safety, as bodyguards are indispensable for them.

Other places like the shipyard should also be on holiday. Except for the soldiers who still maintain the shift system, all other places are resting.

During the Chinese New Year, the soldiers just got up early and ran for a few laps, and there was no such intensive training task as usual.And it doesn't matter if you don't check the housework during the Chinese New Year holiday, and you don't fold the quilt.

However, there are always people on the sentry post, and the system never rests.

During the holiday, Li Yuechen was not as busy as usual, but various tasks were still going on, for example, the deployment of personnel.

There is only one large-scale project that has been carried out at the shipyard, but in fact, it is necessary to find a way to assign some people to take charge of the airship project.

The design drawing has been completed, and the production stage can start next. The engineering institute needs to bring out a few people.

Li Yuechen's idea is to carry out the projects on both sides at the same time, and the problem now is that there is not enough manpower.

Now it is mainly used for work by some of the captives brought over from the Eastern Capital, as well as the criminals captured during the suppression of bandits last year.

The number of people is still too small, and the projects on both sides need too many people, and they need to recruit some more.

On this issue, Li Yuechen called the person in charge of the Academy of Engineering to hold a meeting. After half an hour of discussion, the final conclusion came out.

Considering the need for a large number of manpower, it was decided to recruit people from the surrounding fishing villages and nearby counties and counties. They will be provided with three meals a day.

Anyway, the sales volume of canned food in Hebei is very high now, so Li Yuechen can afford to hire people.

Considering the secrecy of the airship, engineering troops and captured criminals are used here as all the labor force; the shipyard does not matter, after all, it is just a large factory building, and people recruited from outside will do.

After everything was settled, Li Yuechen immediately wrote to the leaders of nearby counties and counties, asking them to help recruit people.

Anyway, since the letter was sent, it was almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it was time to go to work.

Also let Lai Junchen look at it and help recruit some manpower. First of all, it is best to choose those who have no land at home and are usually idle and have no work.

With such a generous salary, it is impossible not to recruit people.

After the order was issued, Li Yuechen waited for the upcoming Shangyuan Festival with peace of mind. As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, there should be a steady stream of people coming over.

However, Lai Junchen's reply made her frown.

Now that the hardened road to Qingzhou has been repaired, the speed of travel has increased a lot, and Li Yuechen sent people to clean the snow on the hardened road when it is not snowing, so there is no need to worry about the horses slipping.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, she received a reply from Lai Junchen.

The letter stated that it is a bit troublesome for His Highness to recruit people and pay salaries together. It is better to transport the money to Qingzhou and let him be responsible for paying the final salaries to these people...

Seeing this reply, Li Yuechen frowned all of a sudden, which reminded her of an unpleasant experience of working part-time in college.

It can only be said that the social experience in the student period is still too little.

Because of that memorable part-time job experience, Li Yuechen immediately wrote a reply to Lai Junchen, with only a short sentence: "I have always admired your intelligence, but if this intelligence is useless, then I will not Happy!"

After sending this letter, Li Yuechen took a sip of tea and couldn't help sighing.

It has to be said that some people with flexible minds are very talented in this area, and they can think of many loopholes behind this order without even mentioning it.

Although he knows that this is human nature, Li Yuechen still hopes that there will be fewer such things in the future, and the formulation of laws should go deep into all aspects of life.

Wanting to make money is not a shameful thing, but there are still principles and bottom lines that should be there. If you don’t have one, you must formulate relatively complete laws to restrict it.

Lai Junchen didn't know if he was the first to have this kind of thought, but he definitely wasn't the last.

Keep this matter in mind for the time being, and then Li Yuechen will prepare for the Lantern Festival. Although there are no lanterns in the army, there will be a bonfire party.
