"Phew... Are we still not able to supply enough food?"
"The old man just called me, saying he wants to increase the area of the planting area as soon as possible! The investigation results are in, and even in the worst areas, the planting speed is about five times the normal speed!"
Lu Yuan nodded silently: "Alright! It seems it's time to gather these people together! But I'm a little worried that so many people showing up might cause some problems here! What if someone has ulterior motives..."
Zhou Tong waved his hand: "Don't worry! I've already organized a guard team with the special forces and some veterans. We can guarantee your safety!"
"That's a million people! Where will they be housed?"
Zhou Tong thought for a moment, then took out a map of some plots of land that he had already drawn and said, "This place is pretty good! There's a lake here, and a large area of forest surrounding it. Moreover, this plot of land is more than 100 kilometers away from here. Even if they really want to rebel, more than 100 kilometers is enough to exhaust their stamina, and we can also detect it in time! There's also a large area of grassland over there that can be used to build houses! We can just have them migrate here!"
"Alright! Since you've already discussed it, let's do it this way! But make sure to keep a close eye on those one million people!"
"Don't worry! Leave this to me! I'll go and inform them now!"
Go!
As Lu Yuan watched Zhou Tong's departing figure, a sense of anticipation welled up within him.
The issue he had been avoiding was that once the population grew, the difficulty of management would increase dramatically. He was someone who disliked trouble and preferred the idyllic life of a few people sharing a plot of land.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.
“I never intended to be a savior, but now that this has happened, and I’ve already saved so many people, am I supposed to be responsible for them forever?”
Upon thinking of this, Lu Yuan immediately shook his head, dismissing the thought.
People's lives are not yet stable. If they want to live a rural life, then their basic needs must be met.
Otherwise, if a large-scale famine were to occur and these people were to die, I would truly be guilty.
"Sigh! I never thought... I'd really have to take full responsibility!"
With immense difficulty in his heart, Lu Yuan once again threw himself into his work.
Han Wen and Xi Wen are currently mainly responsible for geological exploration and map drawing, which is a very difficult task. They haven't been taken care of since Lu Yuan left them in the dimensional space a long time ago.
It has been almost a month now.
Lu Yuan glanced through the roster before suddenly remembering these two people.
"Wang Mingming, have you heard anything from Han Wen and Xi Wen recently?"
Wang Mingming, who was carrying a pile of items, stopped when she heard Lu Yuan's words and thought for a moment: "No! I just checked the personnel list and didn't find any trace of them!"
"Sigh... It's been over a month already, could they have encountered some danger?"
"Of course not! Sister Hanwen and Brother Xiwen are both so smart, how could they possibly encounter any danger? Besides, we only have poultry and livestock here, and there are no ferocious wild animals, so how could we possibly encounter any risks!"
Lu Yuan rubbed his face and sighed, "Sigh! Let me know if they come back! Mapping isn't something that can be done in a day or two, there's no need to go this far!"
"Okay, I got it!"
Next, Lu Yuan flipped through the booklet again. He now had a personnel list that roughly assigned tasks and positions to some people, but it wasn't particularly comprehensive.
Many people hold multiple positions, while others hold positions that are essentially nominal.
After looking at the assignments on the roster, Lu Yuan sighed.
The main people responsible for assigning these rosters are all their own people. In order to better concentrate power, they basically all use their own people.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan immediately had a preliminary plan. If the work were carried out according to the allocation, many problems would arise.
After all, this is no longer the era of small tribes; this is about serving a million people. Therefore, Lu Yuan knows that all the work needs to be broken down into smaller parts.
A population of one million is equivalent to the population standard of a relatively large county or prefecture-level city, and the required units need to be further subdivided.
However, we cannot distribute the spoils according to the methods used before the apocalypse; we must use a more scientific method.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that he couldn't do this assigned work himself, and someone with management experience was needed to do it. He had talked about this with Chen Zhongzheng before, but so much time had passed, and Lu Yuan didn't know if Chen Zhongzheng had found that person.
The awkward thing is that even if Chen Zhongzheng finds someone more capable, it's useless if he can't get out himself.
"The first thing to do is to ensure there is enough food!"
Then Lu Yuan opened the booklet on food supply again.
The four people in charge of managing the grain are Grandpa, Grandma, Lu's mom, and Xiaoshan's mom.
Grandpa was mainly responsible for planting and managing the farmland, while Grandma was responsible for statistics. However, the two elderly people, who came from farming backgrounds, had no experience in management at all, so the accounts they handed in were a mess. Lu Yuan looked at them for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was written in them.
