Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 308 Continue to recruit strong men
Wu Yong got up and said: "This is really a big game of chess played by my brother. I have accepted it. I transferred the hungry people around Shanxi Road who were suffering from hardships and hardships. First, I developed Yangma Island, and second, I saved these people. The common people really have immeasurable merit."

"Yes, the strong men who can't pass through Shanxi now spontaneously come to Chaijiazhuang through the horse-drawn carriages of the Four Seas Car Dealer. We have obtained cheap labor, strengthened our strength, and developed the strength of Cangzhou. Even the magistrate Su Master They can’t stop praising us,” Chai Lin said.

Wu Yong touched the little beard on his chin and said: "The world is in chaos, and the heroes are competing for the throne. In the final analysis, money, food, and soldiers are compared. We are not bad in money and food, but we have few soldiers. Since ancient times, Qingzhou has produced elite soldiers. It is better for us to increase our strength." Qingzhou’s recruitment progress, those who are willing to come directly take over the whole family, so that the strong man has no worries. The winter in Yangma Island is not too cold, and tents can make do for the winter, not to mention that there are many people to work, and it takes time to build a house Question. Qingzhou is very close to Cangzhou, transported to Dinghai Port by small boat, and then transported to Yangma Island after accumulating more than 1000 people.”

"It makes sense. The group of people recruited in early spring are now the main force in land reclamation, and they work very hard. They can take over their families," Chai Lin said.

Wu Yong thought for a while, and said: "The world is full of prosperity, all are for profit. Brother, the first group of people who came to raise horses will be sent home, and they will be given a task, which is to recruit strong men, and each recruit will get fifty coins. Ten people not only get money, but they can also be upgraded to ten leaders, recruiting a hundred people is the leader of a hundred people, and the encouragement of money and power can make them work hard."

Chai Lin bowed deeply: "Sir, you are really talented."

Isn't this the insurance company pulling people's heads?This method is so easy to use. Whoever doesn’t have relatives and friends, let these people start from relatives and friends. Those who are not living well, and those who are in a downturn, will be pulled over. As long as they are willing to spend money, they can bring over 10,000+ from half a county. The main reason is that it is convenient. Qingzhou is close to the coast and the sea, and it will be a year or two later when the government finds out that there is a large-scale population outflow.

"Then let's do what we say, and go to see the strong men from Qingzhou when we go back tonight," Chai Lin said.

Naturally, the chief general can't be responsible for everything, so Wu Yong is in charge of this matter, and Deng Fei and ten soldiers are called in to assist him.

In the evening, when it was getting dark, all the workers on the construction site came back.

Liu Da was the first batch of workers recruited by Qingzhou. He was wandering in Dengzhou at first, and then followed Chailin to the iron mine. He worked in the iron mine for several months, and then came to Yangma Island. Now he leads a team in charge of a Hundreds of strong men have nothing else to do every day. They get up early at dawn to work, rest at night, eat three meals a day, and let them rest three days a month. It can be said that it is a fairy day.

Liu Da washed his face after work, went to the cafeteria, rolled a green onion with a big pancake, smeared some miso, and ate it deliciously.There are too many seafood on Yangma Island, but it’s okay to eat once in a while. If you eat too much, your joints hurt, and pancakes are delicious with scallions.

"Captain, someone is looking for you in the study." A strong man came and called Liu Da.

Liu Dasan finished eating the pancakes in two bites, and came to the study. He saw that he was a scholar-like person whom he didn't know, and there were a few soldiers. Could it be that he did something wrong? No, he didn't do anything bad.

Wu Yong asked: "It's you, Mr. Liu. I'm Mr. Chai's military division Wu. Don't be nervous. I'm looking for you today to learn something."

Liu Da said: "A military adviser can ask casually, as long as he knows something, he will definitely answer."

"You have been here for a long time. You are the first batch here. Are you satisfied with the salary and life here?" Wu Yong asked.

"Satisfied, very satisfied. I am now earning more than 800 cash a month, and I don't need to spend a penny on food and clothing. I can drink a little wine once in a while and go to the dock store to buy it myself." Liu Da said.

"If you agree to bring your wife and children here, will you agree?"

"Is there any need to think about it? I definitely agree. The family is struggling all day, it's too difficult. But there is no house here, and the wife and children have come, so living in a dormitory is not acceptable." Liu Da said.

"I discussed it with the adults and made a rule. Anyone who has been working in Chaijiazhuang for five months can bring his wife and children, and family members can also arrange work. The housing problem is easy to deal with, and the first village will start immediately. Built. Two hundred houses, the unified plan is five houses, a living room, a dining room and three bedrooms, with a large half-acre yard, complete with firewood room, kitchen room, and stables, where you can grow a la carte and raise some chickens and ducks. "

Liu Daxin felt cold for a while, don't even think about such a yard in Qingzhou without 50 taels, after all the land plus building materials and labor costs are all there.

"The yard is pretty good, but most of the strong men are four hundred and five hundred cash a month, and this yard definitely can't afford it." Liu Da said.

"You don't need to buy it. The two plans are both for the strong men. One is to rent, and the rent is one hundred yuan a month. When you don't want to do it anymore and want to go back to your hometown, you can return the house and go back. The other is Buy it, two hundred cash a month, and if you pay enough for ten years, the house will be yours, and you can sell it if you don’t want to live in the future, or you can leave it to your children.” Wu Yong said.

Liu Da was very moved. A group of old men were busy working during the day, but it was nothing. At night, they would think of their wives in their hometown. It was human nature.

"That's great, [-] Wen a month, most of the strong men can afford it. Compared with our work, we can control food and housing. As long as we don't drink, there is almost nowhere to spend money." Liu Da said.

Wu Yong went on to say: "I decided to use your team as a pilot. You all go home and give you five days to promote the recruitment of young men. One recruiter will be rewarded with 100 coins, and the recruiter will be promoted to the team leader, and recruit [-] men." You will be directly promoted to the commander of a hundred. If the hundred and ten people under your command recruit thousands of people, you will be the commander of a thousand."

Liu Da's heartbeat is speeding up, the commander of the strong man basically doesn't have to work, he is in charge of command and dispatch, one and a half taels of money a month, and a bonus of dozens of taels at the end of the year, which belongs to the senior leaders of the strong man, so there is nothing to say about the salary.

"That's great, when will we go back?" Liu Da asked.

Wu Yong said: "Don't yell, you must not affect the working mood of the strong men. Wait for the notice in a few days, and then go back when the big ship comes. Those who are willing to pick up their wives and children, bring their wives and children, and those who don't want to pick up some people." Come back. Recruited people, as long as they are healthy and able to work, they are over 16 years old and under 50 years old, regardless of gender."

Liu Da was very happy and just waited a few days for the notification.But Wu Yong said, don't say anything about this, so as not to affect the mood of other people's work.After all, no one has the ability to build all the houses at once.

This is an important attempt, and there are still many things to do. In the past few days, Wu Yong and Tao Zongwang, who is in charge of the planning and construction of the island, have begun to plan Daohuaxiang Village.The scale of the village should not be too large. The village is too large and too far away from the land, which is not conducive to farming the land.The village is too small and the population is too small, and it is not conducive to resisting pirates.

The construction of a one-story bungalow is still very simple. There is no need for pillars at all. It is not so necessary. The foundation is solid and the walls are well-built.

Wu Yong said: "Steel bars are still needed for the roof of flat houses. Once steel bars are used, the cost will be much higher. How about using tile roofs?"

Tao Zongwang said: "The house with a flat roof of cement is hot in summer, and the inside of the house is not cool. It is necessary to install a sun-proof roof with wooden boards. But it is not possible to use tiles. First of all, this is an island, and the wind is strong, and sometimes typhoons will blow. It is easy to be damaged. Second, there is only a brick factory on the island, and the production of bricks is too busy to work overtime now. Where there is energy to produce tiles, if they are transported from Cangzhou or Dengzhou, the cost will not be much different from that of flat roofs. Thirdly, the farmland may be distributed to farmers in the future, and they will use their roofs to dry their grain.”

"It seems that we can only use cement roofs. It's not cold here in winter. The family members have taken over. It's no problem to live in tents in the short term. At that time, I will settle down a few tent villages first. After the villages are built, I will move there." Wu Yong said.

There are so many things going on, and Wu Yong doesn't have many assistants under his command. Internal affairs management is the shortcoming of Chaijiazhuang. If you want to say that Chaijiazhuang has a lot of generals who can fight and fight, but if you want to talk about management talents, it is rare. .

Building a village with [-] houses is not a small project. It takes a lot of time from site selection to building materials preparation.
