Chapter 750 Accumulation
As an important document, it is still written on animal skin, which is more durable and less prone to damage.
[Major Shi Lei was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, and was given the title of Border Guard General. He led his men to Anling City to take charge.]
[Captain Zhuo Ge was promoted to major, appointed as the general of the frontier defense, and led his men to Feiyan City to take charge.]
[Second Lieutenant Bai Tu was promoted to Lieutenant and appointed as the deputy general of General Zhuo Ge, and he will set off immediately to Feiyan City to take up his post.]
Zhou Xu quickly finished writing three letters of appointment and arranged an elf knight to deliver each letter.
Under this premise, Green Forest City is still empty, but Zhou Xu has already made arrangements.
He planned to transfer Li Ce, who was in the south, to take charge of Green Forest City, while Xie Liancheng would serve as Li Ce's deputy general and go to Green Forest City to take up his post first, temporarily taking over the affairs of the main general before the main general took office.
In fact, there was nothing to worry about. Everything in Green Forest City had been arranged long ago. When Jie Liancheng arrived there, he just needed to keep an eye on it.
After writing the appointment letter, Zhou Xu felt a little sorry for Li Ce. After all, Li Ce had accumulated enough reputation in the Lizardman Army over the years, and he was like a fish in water commanding the troops there.
Once he was transferred to Green Forest City, he would basically have to start all over again.
But Zhou Xu had no choice. It was obvious that the generals under his command who had strong command capabilities were not enough now.
As a border general, Zhou Xu felt that a three-star commander was not good enough. Although Drogo was a three-star commander, he also arranged Bai Tu as his deputy general, which was a disguised solution to this problem.
According to this idea, apart from the Lizardman generals who could not be easily transferred due to climatic reasons, the only generals he had who met the requirements were Ye Jinghong and Li Ce.
As for Ye Jinghong, he had other arrangements, and Li Ce suddenly became the only and most suitable candidate.
After all, in the south, after Li Ce is transferred, Soros can take over directly. Judging from his ability, Soros is more than capable.
In this way, as compensation, Zhou Xu directly promoted Li Ce to colonel, and he is currently the only colonel-level officer in their Great Zhou!
After completing the appointment work for the three border cities, the garrison troops here certainly cannot use all the soldiers who will be recruited later. The main reason is that it will be too late to recruit and train now. We must have some reliable combat power now, right? Thinking of this, Zhou Xu directly integrated all the troops of the Great Zhou here except the 300 Xianzhen Camps and redistributed them.
This of course also includes the troops led by Bai Tu.
To be frank, this is his main purpose.
After these orders were issued, Bai Tu did not think much about the fact that his subordinates would be dispersed and assigned different tasks.
In a way, he could even understand it.
After all, he also knew that although the Great Zhou's troops were powerful, the number of soldiers here was small, and the soldiers under his command were also an important component. If they were not used, they would definitely not be able to be divided.
During this period, Bai Tu was not a fool and knew clearly that he had become Drogo's deputy general.
According to his current military achievements and qualifications, he is obviously not qualified to be a general guarding the border. Under this premise, he was not left idle, but was assigned the post of deputy general of a border city. This is enough to show that the king still has high hopes for him.
The reason is simple. In the future, as long as Drogo, the border general, is transferred away, he, the deputy general, will most likely be promoted directly to a regular general.
To round it off, he is now a reserve general of the Border Guard.
Their king had paved the way for him, didn't he have high hopes for him?
After receiving the appointment letter, Bai Tu happily invited his subordinates to drink, and then followed the order and prepared to rush to Feiyan City to take up his post.
It is worth mentioning here that, unlike the Old World where alcohol is equated with expensive fruit wine, the wine in the New World is much cheaper.
It is mainly rice wine brewed from rice. It has a low alcohol content, a good taste and is slightly sweet. At first glance, the wine is milky white, like rice soup.
Here, rice wine is not considered a "luxury item", but due to the poor grain harvests in recent years, rice is expensive, which has indirectly caused the price of rice wine to increase a lot.
This rice wine is a good thing for Zhou Xu. If it is launched in the Old World, it will definitely be able to effectively stimulate people's consumption.
Besides, didn't he just launch a restaurant this year? Their cafeteria doesn't sell alcohol, but the restaurant certainly does. The only alcohol they have now is fruit wine, but the price of fruit wine is there, not everyone can afford it.
Under this premise, adding cheaper rice wine will surely attract a large number of consumers! At the same time, it can also boost the business of restaurants in disguise, so that restaurants, wine and storytellers can complement each other. This wave is no problem.
Of course, Zhou Xu had no intention of shipping this rice wine from the New World.
After crossing mountains and rivers and arriving in the Old World, rice wine would not be cheap considering the transportation costs.
Fortunately, after a simple trial planting, rice has been planted on a large scale at their Plain Farm. In another two or three months, when autumn comes, the batch of rice planted at the Plain Farm should be ready for harvest.
When the time comes, he can just use that batch of rice to make wine. He is not in a hurry anyway.
In addition to rice wine, which is an extension product of rice, this battle also allowed Zhou Xu to gain a lot of good things in various fields.
Let’s talk about food first. After all, food is the most important thing for people. This wave allowed him to successfully obtain the three condiments: soy sauce, vinegar and sugar.
In terms of food, he not only had what was already in the Old World, but he also got pigs and cows! They also had cows in the Old World, but they were different species from here.
The cattle on their side of the Old World are all steppe cattle, while the ones here are buffalo with a pair of large horns, which enriches the breed.
As for pigs, from the perspective of livestock, there is no need to say much about their value. When raised on a large scale, they are definitely the main source of meat.
Moreover, in Zhou Xu's opinion, the pig-raising technology here is quite mature, and they all eat pork.
At that time, he casually asked, "Where did this pig farming technology come from?"
As a result, he actually got some information out of it.
It turns out that there was once a country on this continent. The God-chosen emperor who founded the country made his fortune by raising pigs. At that time, he was nicknamed the "Pig-raising Emperor" by neighboring countries.
Then, less than two years after the founding of the country, it was destroyed and many people died, but the pig-raising technology was passed down.
In addition to these, there are also quite a few odds and ends, but they are basically items used to improve life, so I will not go into details.
After going through this process, Zhou Xu was filled with emotion. These things could be said to be the accumulation of many God's Chosen Ones who once lived on this land. Naturally, now they all belonged to him.
