The Lingguo Island branch was already extremely busy, and Wang Chao was feeling overwhelmed.
The 8,000-strong army seemed to be working, but Wang Chao felt something was amiss. The only thing he didn't need to worry about was that it was still quite warm here, so he didn't need a lot of fur coats.
Wang Chao wanted to find Lei Qing, but Lei Qing spent most of his time practicing and hunting, acting as if he was the leader of the military. Is it your job, Wang Chao, to deal with the affairs of the civilian department?
Wang Chao knew that the problem was that the hunting team had too many people. The large number of hunting teams proved that Wang Chao's work arrangements at the Ministry of Civil Affairs were not good, resulting in a large number of labor restrictions.
If everyone really had work to do, there wouldn't be a need for so many hunting teams. The Hai Tribe was different from other small tribes. They mainly focused on farming, boiling salt, grazing, and raising livestock. The hunting team was really the last thing that needed to be arranged for the idle personnel.
Is eight thousand men a lot? It depends on the era. In this world, a tribe with a thousand able-bodied men is considered a large tribe, and the Lingguo Island branch has more than a thousand new soldiers.
Maybe I was too anxious and shouldn't have asked the headquarters to send so many reinforcements so quickly.
It seems that my plan is correct.
"What should I do?" Wang Chao felt that he had made a serious mistake for the second time. This left the labor force idle, and it was the fault of the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Haifan City was so busy these days that it needed to hire a large number of foreign workers, but what about him? How could the Lingguo Island branch have so many idle workers to hunt?
Hunting isn't bad, but on Lingguo Island, the land is mostly low-lying shrubs, and large wild animals are rare. So, even if the hunting team tries hard, they'll mostly harvest small animals, with little meat. This means the cost-effectiveness is low.
"Second Priest, why are you here?"
"The consumption on your side is too high. Can we send radishes to your Lingguo Island branch? In order to save on sea transportation, they need to be pickled into salted dried radishes..." The second priest complained a little. At present, the radish production in Poseidon City is really the largest.
The Sea Tribe had an overall plan for mutual support and exchange between the various branches. The Lingguo Island branch hadn't yet produced any food, and with so many people in the early stages, they naturally needed food support from each branch.
"Wang Chao, what can the fleet bring back? Fruits are fine." Maritime transportation tries not to return empty ships as it would waste shipping capacity.
The main force of the navy is of course in Haifan City, with some small fleets stationed in various branches. Poseidon City and Qiuhai City are similar, with a small fleet of more than a dozen sailing ships nearby to facilitate communication. When necessary, they can be used together.
Now with the red feather messaging system, the exchange of information has become much faster.
"I'll find someone to pick the fruit."
"No way? Pick the fruits right now? I have to wait for days, and I have to eat and drink your food. If your Lingguo Island branch runs out of food again, we will have to look to you to transport food." The second priest was unhappy, "Can't we just take away the fruits in your inventory first?"
"Oh, yeah, I'm completely confused." Wang Chao was about to collapse. Reclamation here was different from that on the grassland. After burning the shrubs, a large number of people were needed to clean up the remaining roots and other things. It was very troublesome. In the Hai Tribe, there was no precedent for such land reclamation.
"Wang Chao, you can't do this." The second priest also noticed Wang Chao's anxiety.
"Second Priest, I know, there is trouble again." Wang Chao was a little discouraged. What was wrong with him? Problems came one after another, and there were always problems.
"Do you know why the charlatan doesn't want to expand anymore?" The second priest was relatively patient.
"There's no one!" Wang Chao knew that there were only 20,000 people left in Haifan City.
"No one? Wang Chao, if the charlatan really wants to recruit people, he can recruit tens of thousands of them. It's not that there are no people, but that there are no talents. There are not enough management talents, understand?" The second priest said this, and Wang Chao felt even more ashamed. Facts proved that the civil affairs department of the Lingguo Island branch was a mess.
"Your Lingguo Island branch has a good plan. However, plans require people to implement them. There may be some errors in the number of people you planned, but the biggest error is not in the labor force. It's in the management talent needed to execute it."
"Your biggest mistake was focusing solely on the workforce and ignoring the organizational and management capabilities of the Civil Affairs Department. Are you supposed to implement all the plans by yourself? What about the captains at all levels of the Civil Affairs Department? How many management talents are there who are suitable for the position of captain? Is someone who just works silently the real deal a management talent?"
The Second Priest's words startled Wang Chao. Management talent isn't limited to the leadership level; there are many levels within the Civil Affairs Department, all requiring execution from captains at all levels. Grassroots leadership's execution is crucial.
"It's been a long time since you first came to the Lingguo Island branch. How many grassroots management talents have you trained? Do you even need headquarters to assign you captain-level civilian management personnel?"
This... Wang Chao was confused. Shouldn't it be like this?
"Hey! Wang Chao, don't you think about it? There are 30,000 people in Haifan City. How many captains does the charlatan know? Isn't it that we leaders need to train more? The Lingguo Island branch also had thousands of people in the early days. With so many people, can't you find a few useful ones? You need to be patient in finding and training them."
"What's the point of just doing well on your own? You're the leader!"
The second priest had almost finished speaking when he waved his hand and dozens of people came over.
"These are the captains of the militias at all levels in Poseidon City. Please make arrangements quickly. They have quite a bit of management experience."
"Is this...appropriate?" Wang Chao was upset.
"I was hoping you'd figure it out... Never mind. That's just the charlatan's idea. The development of Lingguo Island has its own unique characteristics, so there will be more problems. I can't blame you. If you have any other questions or need any help, just let me know."
