That’s right, everyone had eaten this kind of meat yesterday, and they all knew how fragrant and delicious it was.
So much so that now they can't stop drooling when they smell the aroma of the meat!
Seeing everyone's growing interest, Zhao Xin said, "I know you all want to eat meat, but if I give the meat to everyone, even I won't be able to hold out for long.
After all, the food we carry with us is just a little bit. Once this little bit of food is eaten, we have to think of other ways to survive!
But if we want to do something else, then we need strength."
Everyone still didn't understand what Zhao Xin was trying to say in his speech.
Then he continued, "Let's put it this way, first of all, those of you who can read and write, please stand up.
You guys can get 5 jin of meat every day!"
After Zhao Xin said this, the people around him immediately brightened up.
Zhao Xin always shows great respect for knowledgeable people who read books!
Although in fact more than half of these people are not good people at all, they look like living people but are completely useless.
But if one out of 100 of these people can be used, that would be a very good thing.
Because on the one hand, these guys can be used to manage various aspects of the matter.
On the other hand, they can also learn further and master more scientific knowledge, so that they can play a greater role?
The most important thing is that if it were in the Qin Empire, it would be very difficult to cultivate such scholars.
But it's different here. Zhao Xin doesn't need to train everyone in this place to become scholars in a short period of time, but the scholars in this place are indeed very important to him.
Moreover, he only needs to pay a little, just a little food.
For meat and the like, they can easily get them by hunting ferocious beasts!
In today's world, no matter where you are, the most common things are actually ferocious beasts.
Humanity’s control over this world is not particularly great; at least the number of ferocious beasts far outnumbers that of humans.
Although humans are food for ferocious beasts, at the same time, ferocious beasts are also food for humans!
At least in Zhao Xin's opinion, this is indeed the case!
After saying this, he continued, "If there are any of you who have the ability to practice and have achieved some results, you can come out. Each person will eat 4 kilograms of meat per day!"
“Anyone aged 16 to 30, who has no bad habits, is in good health and has no criminal record, can also join us.
Three pounds of meat per person per day..."
After Zhao Xin made the announcement, people throughout the city were discussing the matter in whispers.
Although they had eaten meat yesterday, yesterday was probably just the first time these people arrived and they had a slight impression of them.
Obviously, they also took into consideration that Zhao Xin could not support them for a long time for no reason. After all, there are a total of 100,000 people here, and the food they eat every day is a huge consumption.
If they are kept for a long time, no matter who it is, they will not be able to bear it!
However, as long as these conditions are met, can we give so much meat every day?
The people in this city are naturally not like the soldiers of the Qin Empire, where each person can eat dozens of kilograms of meat every day, or even eat an entire cow a day!
These people are just ordinary people. Half a pound of meat every day is enough for them to eat happily, and the rest can even be eaten by their families.
In other words, as long as there is one person who can meet the requirements, he or she can support the whole family?
Now everyone in the city feels a little excited.
"Sir, are you only hiring men? Are women also acceptable?"
At this time, a woman who looked very strong squeezed through the crowd and came to Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "No problem. As long as they meet my requirements, it doesn't matter if they are male or female, and the treatment will be the same."
There were also many women in the army of the Qin Empire, but Zhao Xin generally did not allow women to serve in the troops that went directly to the battlefield.
But in this place, he doesn't have so many concerns. As long as they meet the training standards, men and women can go to the battlefield as soldiers.
After all, this place is not the Qin Empire, so Zhao Xinxin still has some emotional differences in his heart!
But the strong-looking woman was very happy: "Really? That's great.
I don’t have any other abilities, but I am very strong and can lift things weighing more than 1,000 kilograms!
Look, can I be your soldier?
Although according to you, someone like me can eat three pounds of meat.
But three pounds of meat doesn't seem enough. Can I eat four pounds?"
Zhao Xin nodded and said, "No problem. You are considered a person with a good physique, so 4 kilograms of meat a day is no problem."
He directly asked the person next to him to take out the roster and write down the name of the woman named Kelly.
Then, today I gave Kelly a big bowl of meat!
Although Kelly is a woman, her ability to eat seems to be extraordinary.
When the rest of the people saw that there was someone who was willing to take the plunge, they immediately became excited and started signing up.
The registration efficiency is very fast. There are a total of 100,000 people in this town. Among these 100,000 people, there are about 10,000 elderly people and more than 10,000 children under the age of 15.
The remaining 80,000 people are all young people!
It can be said that this city is now definitely a very healthy city with a very strong age ratio.
Among these more than 80,000 people, I plan to join more than 50,000 of them in their army.
Among the remaining people, Zhao Xin discovered that there were more than 500 literate people!
Zhao Xin felt very happy. If this were the case, it would be equivalent to him having 50,000 soldiers.
More than 500 scholars were still a bit too few for him.
The role of scholars is very important. Apart from anything else, if they can teach other soldiers to read and write, then this is a huge achievement. However, if you want 500 people to teach 50,000 people, that is actually a very difficult task!
But for now, this is all we can do for now.
There were still more than 20,000 people who had not joined the army, plus other elderly people and children. Zhao Xin did not give up on these people, at least he did not let them starve.
It can be said that such a small city came alive under Zhao Xin's control in the blink of an eye.
