Chu Yu said calmly, "But have you ever thought about this, young lady? Your boss has traveled all the way to Hejian County, hoping that the Zhao family of Hejian will help fight against Guangping. What if they don't have enough soldiers? What will you do?"

Run over and put pressure on people.

As a result, the Zhao family of Hejian did not have enough troops. Wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?

Wei Xiyin smiled slightly when she heard this, "Don't worry about this, sir. It's okay for the Zhao family to have no soldiers. Didn't they hijack the grain?"

She said confidently, "If there aren't enough people, then we can just take out food."

There is no reason to return empty-handed.

Chu Yu: “…”

The Zhongshan army of nearly 10,000 people required a considerable amount of food.

The food General Chen brought was only enough for the army to eat for one month, and after that they would have to rely entirely on the fort for supplies.

No matter how stingy the girl was, she wouldn't just let people work for her without giving them food.

It was previously estimated that the old grain in the fort could last for two years. If the Zhongshan army was to be fed, the consumption would be further accelerated.

I'm afraid the girl secretly hopes that the Zhao family doesn't have enough troops so that she can make a fortune from their food supplies.

"Sir, you should know that sometimes when there aren't enough troops and financial resources to fight a war, the army will choose to fight to support the war and plunder supplies."

She said bluntly, "It's just the same idea in a different way."

If you don't provide people, you will provide food.

Nothing wrong.

Chu Yu sighed and said, "It's Yu's fault. I almost forgot about the girl's temperament."

In the past, I could have persuaded her to bring the villagers into the fort, but now she refuses to suffer any loss.

Wei Xiyin twitched the corner of her mouth, "I'll just take it as a compliment, sir."

She turned around and prepared to leave. "There's a lot going on outside. We'll be leaving first. Sir, take your time."

The whole room was filled with the unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine.

Let’s get going after finishing our business!

Leave the institute.

Chang Ying said goodbye to her and said, "I will return to the camp and pass on what Mr. Chu said."

"Go ahead."

Wei Xiyin nodded. "By the way, select a hundred soldiers to go to the county town and take the finished nets to the military camp so that everyone can get familiar with casting the nets and get used to the weight."

The thick hemp rope is extremely heavy, so you need to train in advance to avoid being caught off guard when you encounter mutated zombies.

"yes."

"etc."

Wei Xiyin thought for a moment and said, "Have General Chen send a group of soldiers over to participate in the training, especially the archers and those responsible for casting nets. Make sure the soldiers are familiar with how to deal with various attacks."

Chang Ying agreed again and left.

Wei Xiyin went to Mingjingtang to inquire about the progress of transporting materials.

No matter how urgent it was, she would wait until everyone returned before she would lead her troops to leave.

Most of the thirteen cities in Qinghe County, except Ling County, have been evacuated. The response was that they would all be evacuated in a few days.

The people were responsible for transportation according to regions, and each was responsible for three cities.

Currently, only Zhang Yuanyan's team has completed everything, while the other three teams only have one city left.

Those who come back first do not need to go out to provide support. They can follow Mingjingtang's arrangements and participate in farm work in the mountains.

The crops planted earlier this summer finally matured successfully thanks to three times of watering a day, and it is harvest time these days.

There were shadowy figures on the mountain. The people working were so hard that they were reluctant to stop and rest for a moment.

Because after harvesting these crops, the land officially belongs to them.

Mingjingtang would then send someone to help build the greenhouse, and after that, each person would be responsible for their assigned plot of land. If one had a regular job in the fortress and didn't have time to manage the land, they could rent it out to neighbors.

The lease deed must be issued by Mingjingtang, and both parties must go to Mingjingtang for notarization to avoid future disputes.

Ji Yao went out happily, ready to go to the research institute to work.

He has received a transfer order and will be transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture with the plants he cultivated, to serve as an agricultural officer. He will be assigned ten subordinates to be responsible for managing the farming affairs of the people in an area.

It was Ji Yao's first time to be an official. Although he was only a small official in charge of agriculture, appointed to him by the fortress, he was very happy.

His father always thought he was a loser, but if he saw how successful he is now, he would surely feel relieved in heaven.

Although the Sinong Office has not recruited anyone yet, the location has been decided. I heard that it is in the government office in Ling County, and an area has been specially allocated for them.

After all the people come back and the recruitment examination is organized, he will leave the institute and go to the county town to take up duty.

When the little fat boy suddenly learned that he had to leave, he felt a little reluctant.

Although there are many scary monsters inside, Ji Xiaopang is the first record officer recruited by the institute. He has witnessed with his own eyes that the institute has gone from being deserted at the beginning to being bustling every day now, and all work is on the right track.

Ji Yao cherishes his last time in the institute very much, so he goes out early every day to be on duty.

As a result, as soon as Ji Yao walked out of the house, he was surrounded by the group of yamen soldiers from Qingyang County.

"Lord, we are ready to entrust all our land to you. Please do not refuse..."

"Yes, yes, are you free now, my Lord? Let's go to Mingjing Hall and sign the lease first."

"Sir, please be considerate of our subordinates. We are on duty at the camp every day and don't have time to farm. Please be kind and take over all these fields..."

"Mr. Dalang, please be kind..."

The yamen soldiers had long been incorporated into the military camp. A few days ago, they were assigned to follow Zhang Yuanyan to clear out the zombie tide. They came back earlier than others and had received all the bedding and land allocated to them.

But as a soldier, he needs to be on duty every day and be ordered out by the girls at any time, so he has no time to farm.

The crops grown by Dalangjun and Shiniangzi are better than those of others, and this news has spread throughout the village.

After some discussion, the yamen soldiers decided to hand over all the land they were allocated to Dalangjun. The land in the fort was not allowed to be bought or sold, and could only be leased by signing a lease contract in Mingjing Hall.

The eldest son has a big appetite, so he needs to save some food for when he gets married.

Anyway, they receive food every month and have no shortage of food and drink. It doesn't matter how much Dalangjun gives them when the time comes.

"Do you think it's okay, Mr. Dalang?"

A group of people looked at him expectantly.

Ji Yao felt dizzy. There were more than fifty plots of land... and he also had to be on duty. He didn't know if he could handle it.

But these people were all his father's men. They watched him grow up, not to mention when the zombie outbreak occurred. They lived with him day and night for several months and protected him through an entire difficult winter.

There is a lot of friendship between them...

Ji Yao couldn't bear to refuse.

"Okay, let's go to Mingjing Hall first, and then I'll go to the research institute to be on duty."

The group breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the eldest son agreed.

Some passersby heard their conversation and looked puzzled.

The people were eager to get more land, but these people were trying hard to give it away, while the other was hesitant and accepted it reluctantly.

There's something wrong!

When Ji Yao came out of Mingjing Hall, he was holding more than fifty thick lease deeds in his hands, with a look of disappointment on his face.

With so much land to share, what should I plant?
