"Building military piers requires the use of stone and wood. In addition, the land needs to be reclaimed as soon as possible. Fishing and hunting are not a long-term solution after all!"
Wang Jing was thinking secretly while directing the refugees to do things.
There is also the matter of promoting talents! Also very important!
When he thought that he only had Tian Liangyun, Jiang Zhixiong and two veterans of the begging army under his command, Wang Jing sighed inwardly.
The promised celebrity will just bow down and bow down?
There are no celebrities or powerful generals, and there are not even a few who are literate.
Nowadays, Wang Jing needs to do all kinds of things in East Lake Castle personally. If he encounters any trouble, he has to rack his brains to find a way to deal with it.
Fortunately, when Wang Jing was in Wish the World, he looked around at all kinds of things and had a basic understanding of everything.
Now with these superficial skills, I can barely solve the problem. But in the future, there will be more and more problems, and Wang Jing will definitely be numb.
Now, except for Wang Jing, Jiang Zhixiong and Tian Liangyun can barely read some words, and the other soldiers are illiterate.
Think of this.
Wang Jing set his sights on more than 300 refugees. These refugees came from various dynasties in history. With so many people, there must be hidden talents.
Within ten steps, there must be fragrant grass, and within ten rooms, there must be handsome men.
However, Wang Jing's insight talent focuses on observing other people's life levels and various combat skills, but he cannot check whether others can read or not.
"Tian Baihu!"
Wang Jing directly called Tian Liangyun who was busy, "Send someone to spread the word and say that I am going to recruit five clerks. If there are literate people, you can recommend yourself!"
"After becoming a clerk, your daily rations will be doubled!"
"I'll do it now, little man!"
After Tian Liangyun received the order, he immediately asked people to loudly publicize it, and soon more than 300 people knew about it. Several people in the crowd suddenly beamed with joy when they heard the news.
If they can become the clerk of Donghu Fort, they no longer need to participate in physical work such as building camps and reclaiming land.
Your status is instantly improved, and you don’t have to go hungry anymore! This is a great thing for them.
Half an hour later.
Four people appeared in front of Wang Jing. Unfortunately, only four of the more than 300 people can read.
"Huai'an Chen Yi, I met the team leader!"
Among the four people, the one who calls himself Shen Yi is about twenty years old, tall and thin, with a pretty face, but the long gown he wears is relatively clean.
There were two others, a little timid.
One used to be the accountant in an inn, and the other used to be an ordinary farmer who studied in a private school in the country for two years. Just by looking at their temperament, you know you can't expect them to be very capable.
The last person was surprisingly a woman.
Her body was covered by a loose robe, and she looked quite thin, with a layer of black ash on her body and face. However, it could be seen from her smart eyes and casual movements that she was young and seemed to come from a wealthy family.
After noticing Wang Jing's gaze.
She said softly: "Si Jing, I have met the team leader!"
Wang Jing waved his hand and glanced at the four people.
Said: "You all know the purpose of my recruitment of documents. East Lake Castle is full of waste and many things are very trivial. Your task is to solve those trivial matters for me."
It’s just over 300 people.
Basically, nothing major will happen. Let the four clerks help handle it, and most of the trivial matters will be solved quickly.
Throughout the ages, people who could read and write were definitely smarter than ordinary people.
Especially Shen Yi and Si Jing.
Si Jing seemed afraid to speak in front of many people, her voice was a little soft, and she was only suitable for doing statistics and calculations. However, her statistical calculation skills and memory are outstanding.
And Shen Yi's ability is very good, whether it is organizing or handling disputes, he is easy to handle.
"Team leader, our manpower is limited now. Although building military turres, reclaiming land, and training troops to prevent thieves are all major tasks, we must prioritize these major tasks!"
"After we have the priorities, we will then count the people, count the men and women, the old and the weak, the craftsmen..."
"Only by mastering the detailed information of these people can we effectively assign tasks!"
"Let the craftsmen build the camp, let the young men cut wood and quarry stone, and the old farmers cultivate the land... By then, everything can be done with twice the result with half the effort!"
Shen Yi, who had just become a clerk, took the initiative to find Wang Jing after solving a reported trouble.
"In your opinion, what should we do most now? Which thing is the main thing, and which thing is the subordinate thing?"
Wang Jing was intrigued by the other party and asked.
"The most important thing is to cultivate the land and plant seeds as soon as possible!"
Chen Yi said without hesitation, "Food is the most important thing for the people! We can't do anything without food. Our place is several miles away from East Lake and even further away from Liangshan Water Village!"
"As long as the team leader sends people to patrol the surroundings to guard against the water thieves' sentries, you don't have to worry about the water thieves attacking in the short term!"
"As for the military piers, you can wait until the land is reclaimed before building them. It won't take much time to sow seeds, but it will take a long time to build the camp..."
"There's no way we can wait until the camp is built before going to farm!"
Wang Jing pondered for a while.
Indeed, Jundun takes a long time and consumes a lot of manpower. We should go all out to reclaim the land and plant food according to what Shen Yi said.
Do the simple and important things first, and then deal with the troublesome things.
"You're right! In that case, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Since Shen Yi had outstanding abilities, Wang Jing naturally did not hesitate to put him to good use and simply left the work of farming and counting people to him.
Shen Yi was not polite and immediately took orders.
At this time, Tian Liangyun came to the side, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Huai'an Chen Yi... I seem to have heard this name somewhere!"
"Have you ever heard of Chen Yi's name?"
Wang Jing's brows moved slightly, a little surprised.
"Yes, I must have heard of him... By the way, I remembered. He seems to have been a Jinshi during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, and later became the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing! He is very famous in our hometown."
Tian Liangyun couldn't help shouting.
Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, "Are you telling the truth?"
Even people who come from the Origin World cannot know the history thoroughly. Just like Wang Jing, the people he knows are the most famous figures and generals in history.
For example, he knew a lot about the six founding princes and chief minister Zhang Juzheng during the Ming Dynasty.
But Huaian Chen Yi...
If Tian Liangyun hadn't told him, it would have been impossible for Wang Jing to know what the other party had done in the original history.
Tian Liangyun said excitedly: "You can't be wrong. Huai'an Chen Yi is the ancestor of the Shen family, a prominent family in Pingqiao. He is very famous in Huai'an, even the villains have heard about it!"
"It is said that Shen Yi was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Xuande, and was the head of the household department in the Zhengtong year. It is said that he is the best at planning, knowing everything about the surplus and empty warehouses, household registration and depletion, the amount of taxes, transporting grain and grass, and handling things well! During the Civil Engineering Revolution , and also guard the Zhengyang Gate!"
"When I was the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, there was a famine in Shandong and I was responsible for providing relief to the victims, with more than four million people living..."
"I didn't expect that this little person would be lucky enough to meet this adult!"
"However, it is said that Shen Yizhong was nearly forty when he became a Jinshi. Looking at his age now, he is still ten years behind!"
