Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 322 Development
Lu Tingjie did not expect Jing Yi to be so capable that he could get not only food but also salt.

You must know that not only the price of food is skyrocketing in Yiguo, but even the price of salt is the same.People regard food as their heaven, and people need food, but they cannot do without salt.So salt is needed everywhere, and this also gives Jing Yi and the others a good chance to make money.

Some salt merchants will not pursue the source of the salt as long as they can get it.

Because the salt produced by Jingyi and the others is better than the coarse salt bought by ordinary people in the market, and the price is not expensive, so it is very popular.

Just the sale of salt caused a steady stream of money to flow into Jing Yi's pocket.It didn't take long for Jing Yi to accumulate a huge sum of money.

Looking at such a large sum of money, Jing Yi thought to herself, no wonder the imperial court wants to control the salt and iron, the salt trade is really too lucrative.

The salt fields by the sea have expanded a lot, and the salt-making workshops have to expand to keep up with the speed of drying salt.

The secret guards sent by Jing Yi contacted the old troops of the Jing family who were scattered all over the place. Many returning veterans were found by Jing Yi's sent people. Jing Yi selected some loyal and reliable people and sent them to the other side of the mountain. Salt pans and salt workshops have increased manpower.In this way, the production of salt has increased a lot.

Lin Zhuocheng, as the highest officer of the border guards, has the right to recruit troops, but there is also a limit on the number of troops.In the past, it was not possible to recruit too many soldiers. One reason was that the number of the imperial court was limited, and no imperial court would allocate so much military pay to support more troops.

Now Lin Zhuocheng does not rely on the imperial court to recruit soldiers. As long as he does not gather all the soldiers together and does not ask the imperial court for food and salary, it is difficult for outsiders to find that the number of soldiers exceeds the limit.

In the past few years, there have been frequent disasters in the territory of Yi Kingdom, either drought or insect disasters, coupled with man-made disasters, the life of ordinary people has become more and more difficult.In order to survive, many people had to leave their homes and flee to the south where there is still plenty of rain.

Now Yuanling County has flooded with many disaster victims. As long as they can have enough food to eat, most of them are willing to serve as soldiers.

Lin Zhuocheng's recruitment is not only based on the physical condition of the applicant, but also the family status of the applicant.Lin Zhuocheng, who is the only child in the family or has a wife and children, generally does not recruit.Even if he recruits people who have concerns, there won't be too many people, and it won't have much impact on the family if they leave as soldiers.

Jing Yi also secretly provided a batch of food to his uncle, enough for him to support the army.

Moreover, some of the people recruited by Lin Zhuocheng, Jing Yi, will also be separated.

Quite a few from the old Jing family came to join Jing Yi, and most of them had served in the army.Jing Yi made arrangements for these people.

Jing Yi selected some strong young and middle-aged soldiers to form a special operations team. She named the team the Hurricane Team, and transferred Song Yuancheng back from the salt workshop.

Qiao Hong studied with Song Yuancheng, and was already familiar with the affairs of the salt field and the salt workshop, and Jing Yi felt relieved to let him take charge of the affairs there.

Jing Yi transferred Song Yuancheng back to be the leader of the blast team, and then started training the team.Song Yuancheng will lead the training even when she is not around.

In the past few years, Song Yuancheng has followed Jing Yi and learned a lot from Jing Yi, not only has his martial arts improved greatly, but even his knowledge is incomparable to ordinary people.

Song Yuancheng's knowledge is not limited to those learned from books by today's literati, and there are many things that cannot be learned from books.For example, some tactical strategies, some investigative skills, some makeup skills, some killing methods and so on.

Jing Yi is standing on the shoulders of the giant of history, holding the crystallization of wisdom summed up by many human beings from ancient times to the future.This also makes Jing Yi like a big killer in this ancient time, her power is immeasurable.

Everyone in the Storm Squad is first of all loyal to Jing Yi and a person who wholeheartedly follows Jing Yi.These people also swear a heavy oath, swearing allegiance to Jingyi to the death.

The ancients attached great importance to cursing and swearing, and most people would not easily break the oath.Jing Yi is quite relieved of the loyalty of the members of the Storm Squad.

Jing Yi put in a lot of effort in the training of the Hurricane Squad, gradually honing these players from physical fitness to fighting skills.The team members exercise a lot every day. Jing Yi specially formulated a diet for the team members to ensure that each team member absorbs enough nutrients and calories every day.

In addition to military training, Jing Yi also taught each student how to read and write, taught them to read simple ancient maps, taught them to use sign language, and so on.

Jing Yi will also give ideological education to the team members from time to time, letting them know what kind of people should be loyal and what kind of people should be beaten.

In order to protect the safety of your homeland and your family, you should fight to repel those invaders who try to destroy your homeland and enslave yourself and your family.

Among the team members, there is the youngest, and the oldest is only 23 years old.After a period of training, everyone admired Jing Yi.In the hearts of the team members, their eldest lady is like a god, there is no eldest lady who can't do it, and the eldest lady's literary and martial arts are the best.

People worship the strong, and Jing Yi's strength has made them ignore Jing Yi's female identity.

Jing Yi also further established her own prestige, and even cultivated a group of loyal subordinates.

Lin Zhuocheng and Lu Tingjie knew each other from the beginning, and now they are Jingyi's supporters. The two often discussed with each other on some government affairs, and gradually resolved some disharmonious people and things in Yuanling County.

In addition to training the blast team, Jing Yi did not forget the batch of recruits her uncle recruited.

In order not to let these newly recruited soldiers be influenced by the veterans, Lin Zhuo placed the recruits in a separate camp, so that Jing Yi could also train these recruits from time to time.Even if there are spies among the veterans, it is difficult to get news from the recruits.

Lin Zhuocheng was slowly weeding out the restless guys among the veterans.

After several months of hard work, Lin Zhuocheng's new barracks also trained well, and the recruits made great progress.And Jing Yi's trump card blast team has made rapid progress. The players have improved a lot in terms of physical fitness and skill. What's more, the players have cultivated a tacit understanding under Jing Yi's intentional training. a united whole.

This is also the initial goal of Jingyi's training.Next, Jing Yi will conduct more in-depth training on the members of the blast team, so that they can become the real trump cards in his hands.

In the second half of this year, because Jingyi provided Lu Tingjie with high-yield grain seeds for him to distribute to the common people for planting, the grain harvest in Yuanling County this year was significantly higher than in previous years.

Many disaster victims have been resettled in the past few months.The fields opened up by the victims have yielded good harvests, and they can also be self-sufficient, so there is no need for Lu Tingjie to help them.

Yuanling County has had a bumper harvest, and Lu Tingjie has reduced or exempted taxes appropriately, so the lives of ordinary people this year are much easier.Some victims who fled famine to Yuanling County no longer wanted to leave here, and decided to take root here and settle down.

The people were very grateful to Lu Tingjie, and everyone felt that they had met a good official.
