"This is also a form of encouragement for the militia policy. If the militia performs well, they can directly join our Sea Tribe," said the Second Priest. The surrounding tribes are very eager to join the Sea Tribe. Once the able-bodied militiamen in your tribe become members of the Sea Tribe, the harvest rate of cooperative farming will increase.
"That's a good idea!" Ma Yue nodded. "Don't take in too many people at once. What's your plan?"
"Five hundred per family."
"The militia are all able-bodied men, it's a good deal!"
"Spring plowing has passed, so the labor force is not too tight."
"You can't wait until summer plowing to recruit people. That's too... blatant."
"That means a family of 800 people. Even during the summer farming season, we'll be able to handle it."
"Okay! It's settled." Ma Yue had no objection. After sending out two thousand regular and deputy soldiers and taking back one thousand six hundred militiamen, the capacity and population of Haifan City would not change much.
"Spirit, you have to go and recruit people." Shuichong said. The branches of the Hai tribe have had two large-scale traitors. If the charlatan does not go, what will happen if there are so many traitors recruited from the Min tribe?
"No need. I'll just inspect the militia after they come. Spies? Haha!" Ma Yue laughed. They were ruthless in killing spies. The Lingguo Island branch had just chopped off hundreds of heads.
The three thousand followers of King Gui Luo who were unwilling to return (including one thousand able-bodied men) were thrown directly to Lingguo Island. Ma Yue no longer had that kind of patience.
"Swindler, if we are selecting soldiers, wouldn't there necessarily be equal numbers of soldiers in the north and south?" Wu Qi said.
"Oh, tell me what you mean."
"The North and South divisions will each send 1,000 soldiers to Haifan City. Haifan City will select 1,500 from them, which is exactly three battalions. Competition is good," Wu Qi said. "Militiamen are also soldiers. The fittest will survive. This will also serve as a form of supervision for the training of the militiamen of the North and South divisions."
"That makes sense!" The others also nodded.
