Chapter 113 Personnel Arrangement
Further improving transportation efficiency and upgrading wooden carts to horse-drawn carts, donkey carts or ox carts can undoubtedly bring them great convenience.
But if you ask how urgent this matter is, it’s not really that urgent.
On this side of the barren mountain camp, although affected by the ecological environment of the Gobi Desert, half of the mountain is bare and very desolate, but the ecological environment on the other side of the mountain is still pretty good.
Plus the crops that the former leader Wang Luchong brought out from the depths of the mountains.
At this stage, as long as the new fields are settled, the barren mountain camp will be fully self-sufficient.
The only time efficiency is probably when this camp is attacked.
Although according to Zhou Xu's previous analysis, it is unlikely that the Manshi tribe deep in the mountains would leave the land with richer resources alone and go to such great lengths to come out and provoke them.
But analysis is analysis, and sometimes man proposes, God disposes, and we still have to take the necessary precautions.
If a battle really breaks out that the deserted mountain camp cannot resolve independently, support efficiency will be very important.
However, this does not change the reality that the problems of centaurs and hyenas are difficult to solve.
If you want to bypass this problem and don't consider the support efficiency, the best way is to directly store heavy troops in the camp in the barren mountains to further enhance their independent combat capabilities.
In terms of numbers, after the fifty prisoners of war left, not counting the large group they brought with them, according to the latest statistics, there were still 109 people left in the Desolate Mountain Camp.
A scale of over a hundred people is definitely enough if the short-term goal is just to hold the camp and focus on farming and development.
However, among these 109 people, more than half were prisoners of war.
Zhou Xu would definitely not keep all these prisoners of war here in case something happened that would be difficult to control.
He would leave at most thirty of these prisoners in the deserted mountain camp, and the rest would be dispersed and distributed to the other three camps.
Of course, with this, the number of people at the deserted mountain camp is less than a hundred.
Of course Zhou Xu had also taken this into consideration. He would replace people from the other three camps to ensure that the Desolate Mountain Camp had a scale of 100 people.
Under this premise, we undoubtedly need a trustworthy and capable subordinate to take charge.
Considering that the other party needs to have the ability to stand on his own, he doesn't have many options left.
[Ye Jinghong, Shi Lei and Li Ce, these are basically the three candidates. ]
[Speaking of trust, among these three, I trust Jinghong the most, but he is currently at the grassland camp. Considering his talent, it would be a waste to have him stay in a separate camp for a long time.]
[The only ones left are Shi Lei and Li Ce...]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu fell into deep thought and finally made a decision.
"Let Shi Lei take charge of the barren mountain camp!"
This was the result of his careful consideration.
Compared to Li Ce, who is obviously more offensive, Shi Lei, whose talent is "step by step", is seen by Zhou Xu as an all-rounder who can "attack when advancing and defend when retreating".
Moreover, Shi Lei has a calm and steady style. To defend the camp, the most important thing is to keep calm and have strong willpower.
At the critical moment of life and death, if you can hold on for a little longer, reinforcements will arrive and the situation will be different.
Therefore, on the whole, compared to Li Ce, Shi Lei is the general who is more suitable to be in charge of the barren mountain camp.
After making this decision, Zhou Xu sent someone back to pass the order and transfer Shi Lei to take up the post.
It was impossible for him to stay in the Desolate Mountain Camp forever. According to his plan, after Shi Lei arrived, he would return to the Black Moon Camp.
After all, the Black Moon Camp is the base camp that he is focusing on developing at this stage.
Zhou Xu did not hide this decision from Li Ce, and he informed him of the reasons appropriately.
Li Ce also chose to accept it and did not express any objection.
In the following days, Zhou Xu mainly spent his time resting and waiting, and from time to time, he would keep an eye on the renovation work in the camp.
After a period of time, the progress is quite good.
The camp, which had been missing pieces here and there due to extensive reconstruction, now looks somewhat like it is.
At the same time, Zhao Geng...
After a long journey, Zhao Geng, who had stopped by the Salt Lake Camp for a short rest, finally arrived at the Black Moon Camp at noon! At that moment, Zhao Geng looked at the Black Moon Camp from afar, and he was stunned.
He had never thought that the layout of a camp could be so well organized! Every area was arranged reasonably.
During this time, he saw the fields that were being cultivated at a glance. Both the scale and layout were far beyond his expectations.
To be honest, he was a little nervous when he saw the Salt Lake Camp.
Because the Salt Lake Camp is a functional camp whose main activities are mining and salt mining, the facilities of the entire camp are very simple and small in scale.
Compared with the Salt Lake Camp, the Black Moon Camp, which is now Zhou Xu's base camp, has developed to a scale that has completely exceeded the level of an ordinary primitive village, regardless of its population.
If Zhao Geng was still unsure before, then at this moment, he could say with a very firm tone that compared with the Black Moon Camp in front of him, Wang Luchong's camp was just like a pile of shit! And it was the kind that was leaking and spraying everywhere! The members of the transport team brought back Zhou Xu's order, and the group of people headed by Zhao Geng were soon properly settled.
Especially Zhao Geng, as a talent in agricultural development, he has relatively rich farming experience. At this critical juncture when we need to vigorously develop the farming industry and usher in the farming era, he will definitely be reused.
However, Zhou Xu did not immediately assign Zhao Geng the position of Minister of Agriculture.
It was different from Ye Yan's time. At Ye Yan's time, there was no medical department in their tribe at all, so he could directly appoint Ye Yan as the minister and establish a medical department.
However, their tribe does have an agricultural sector, and it has developed to a certain scale.
Although Zhao Geng himself is very capable, considering the emotions of his subordinates, he cannot directly airdrop Zhao Geng.
In this way, on the pretext that Zhao Geng knew how to grow these newly discovered crops, Zhou Xu first arranged a position for him as a farming team leader, and let him lead the team members to do farming work.
I believe that in the course of this work, Zhao Geng will soon be able to demonstrate his outstanding abilities. When he has accumulated certain achievements, Zhou Xu will then promote him. I think other people in the Ministry of Agriculture will not be dissatisfied with this.
