Regarding the additional tasks assigned by Li Daozong, Xue Rengui didn't have any other ideas. Instead, after thinking about it for a while, he asked directly: "I dare to ask the general, how many local migrant workers can be hired and how many resources can be used to achieve such a goal?" ."
"No limit to the number." Li Daozong said four words directly, because Li Daozong knew very well that even if all the people who could work nearby were hired, there wouldn't be many.
What's more, these Silla people also have farm work. They are not so free, so if they want to hire people, they can do it. There is no limit on the number, which naturally means no limit on resources.
The current resources provided by Datang only include two types of grain and salt!
The salt transported here is not the high-quality salt currently sold in Datang, which mainly comes from Chaka Salt Lake, but sea salt that has been dried and initially filtered.
The current sea salt factory of Datang was built in Shouguang, which was also an important salt production base in later generations! A large-scale industrialized state-owned salt trading house in Datang was established here.
But it has only just been established and salt production has begun. The filtration of salt is not yet detailed enough, so the quality of the salt is not as good as the salt produced in Chaka Salt Lake.
But in fact, compared with the original coarse salt of the Tang Dynasty, it has improved a lot. For countries such as Silla, the quality of salt is overwhelming.
The main reason is the cost. The cost is too cheap. The large-scale drying method to produce sea salt, even with a filtration device, the final cost is lower than that of Chaka Salt Lake.
Therefore, even if the sea salt is transported from the Bohai Sea to Silla, the cost is much lower than that of food.
These resources will be the "funds" used by Datang to expand its influence in Silla and Baekje.
"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Xue Rengui agreed directly without limiting the quantity. Isn't that simple? !
"Well! Remember, all work should be carried out in an orderly manner."
After Li Daozong and Xue Rengui finished explaining things here, it meant that Xue Rengui was in charge for the time being.
The army of the Tang Dynasty will also be temporarily stationed here. As for why they are stationed, it is naturally to find an opportunity to adjust their strategy. As for what the opportunity is, it is naturally Li Daozong who has the final say.
After finalizing the deal with Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui got up early in the morning and started his "day's work" the next day.
Because, the entire military camp started to boil with the sound of the wake-up call when the sun had not yet risen.
All the soldiers followed the reveille call, and soon the training sound of "one, two, three, four" resounded throughout the camp.
On the temporary camp playground, except for all the soldiers who were required to stand guard, the other soldiers were not wearing armor, but even if they were only wearing short-sleeved clothes, the shouts of killing made the entire dock boil.
Because there are fishermen making a living on the pier, these fishermen often go to sea early, even at dawn.
And these soldiers attracted almost everyone on the dock who had not gone to sea. This was an unprecedentedly beautiful scenery.
The dividing line between the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and them was only temporarily separated by hemp rope. Today, these dividing lines will be tied with wood and wooden sticks.
After all, the area of the camp is already very large. If hemp rope is used again, the quantity will be too much. And wood is not a material material at all in this era. Besides, isn’t wood available everywhere?
The soldiers training outside continued to attract the attention of the surrounding people, while Xue Rengui raised his legs and entered the barracks where the cooking squad was located.
The squad leader of the cooking squad is starting to wash vegetables. All the cooking squads with more than 5,000 soldiers are concentrated in this area.
And their vegetables and other food and other supplies are currently transported from the ship. Because there are not many local vegetables in Silla, just a cabbage and some green vegetables.
"Captain."
"Captain." Xue Rengui came in, and all the squad leaders spoke one after another.
"Captain, have you thrown all these away? What a pity." A cooking squad leader asked helplessly, pointing to the pot of cabbage leaves next to him.
These cabbage leaves are the outer leaves that they pulled from the Chinese cabbage. These leaves are just a little wilted.
It's not bad. When they were in Datang, they would clean these vegetables and cook them directly. How many days was Datang rich? Dare to waste it casually?
But here... these are all meant to be thrown away.
"Yes, throw it away, this is an order! This is related to the long-term plan and strategy of the follow-up army, so it must be implemented. These things may seem thrown away, but they will not be wasted." Xue Rengui said calmly.
The squad leaders of these cooking classes were heartbroken, but since it was an order, they could only carry it out.
"By the way, the meals for each cooking class at noon today cannot be the same. You can discuss it among yourselves. Stir-fry the spices and the like in advance. Throw away some of the remaining food and eat it in the open air. This way the aroma will spread faster." Xue Rengui warned. .
"Yes." The cooking squad leaders all agreed helplessly. It was too extravagant, too extravagant.
How could they usually be willing to eat like this, but now this is an order, and they can only execute it.
Of course, everyone likes to eat, but waste... no one likes it.
And this kind of waste under orders is even more uncomfortable. On the one hand, there are military orders like mountains, and on the other hand, there is the habit of frugality engraved in the bones.
If it weren't for the military order, if the captain and political commissar hadn't repeatedly emphasized that these things would not be wasted, they would also be part of the Tang Dynasty's strategy, and they would all have to resist, high or low.
Because as people in the cooking class, they cannot see waste, not to mention that many of them have come from hard times.
But military orders are military orders, so what should be carried out must still be carried out.
Breakfast in the morning is very simple, including white flour steamed buns, rice porridge and pickles, all of which are pickled and shipped directly from the ship.
To be honest, it sounds very luxurious, but for the current Tang Dynasty, especially for the current Datang Navy, it is not difficult at all to ensure that ten thousand people can eat this food.
"What are you doing? Leave half of the steamed buns left for me and throw them into this bucket." During breakfast, each squad leader received a mysterious order and began to teach his soldiers to deliberately leave some half of the steamed buns and throw them into a watch. The inside of the barrel didn't look so clean.
Occasionally there are half or even whole steamed buns.
There were more than 5,000 people in the entire camp, so there were just a dozen barrels of steamed buns left, some "leftover" pickles, and two barrels of porridge.
