Wang Jing immediately secretly activated his insight talent to observe Chen Yi who had already started to do something.
But he discovered that his gift of insight was not omnipotent.
For example, physical talents and combat skills can be observed, but what kind of education a person has received and his internal affairs abilities cannot be seen by insight talents!
Although Tian Liangyun mentioned that Shen Yiguan was the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, he could not be compared with famous officials at the level of Zhang Juzheng, Li Shanchang, and Liu Bowen.
But to ordinary people, he is already a high-ranking figure.
"Being able to hold the position of Minister of Household Affairs, although it is only an official in Nanjing, cannot be compared with officials in the capital. But if we don't look at status and reputation and only look at ability, he can almost reach the third rate among civil servants in the entire history!"
In Wang Jing's eyes, pure military generals aside.
Powerful civil servants such as Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Zhuge Liang, Wang Meng, Cui Hao... these are the top talents. Each of them is a strategic-level existence. When they join a country, they can greatly enhance the country's national power. They are famous ministers throughout the ages.
The abilities of the second-level famous officials are not as comprehensive, but they have no obvious shortcomings.
They are all talented people who can serve as the prime minister of a country, regulate yin and yang, and stabilize the overall situation. For example, Fan Zeng, Cao Shen, Tian Feng, and Ju Shuo all have the ability to become prime ministers and can be called national scholars.
As for the third-rate civil servants, their vision and structure are somewhat narrow, and they belong to the magi at the state and county level.
You can serve as a high official and stabilize the local area, but becoming the prime minister or chief assistant will definitely not be able to stabilize the court situation.
Just like the Ming Dynasty, since Zhang Juzheng, the outstanding first assistant, died of illness, there was no qualified first assistant in the Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen dynasties.
This also led to the decline of the Ming Dynasty.
For a force, talent is the most important support.
In the future, if Shen Yi can hold a high position, he can also be called an outstanding person.
Especially at this stage in the new world. The more capable people are, the later they will arrive.
Even if famous ministers in the long history do not need the top level of strength, the time it takes to arrive will not be short.
Among the hundreds of millions of people and forces that have descended upon him now, Chen Yi, a little-known figure, is among the top talents at this stage.
"It just so happens that, as Tian Liangyun said, Shen Yi is good at managing household registration taxes and is also proficient in grain transportation and allocation. Let him be responsible for the civil affairs of East Lake Fort and give full play to his abilities!"
After knowing the origin of Shen Yi. Wang Jing was directly prepared to reuse this outstanding person.
Shen Yi will be nearly forty years old when he becomes a Jinshi in the future, and his ability is far from reaching its peak now. However, there are only more than 300 people in Donghu Fort, which is strictly a small military base.
Let him accumulate experience in handling civil affairs now. If the city is built in the future, Shen Yi will be able to serve as the county magistrate.
His ability is enough to save Wang Jing from most of his troubles.
Next.
Wang Jing did not practice his skills immediately, but watched quietly. He was relieved after seeing that Shen Yi managed more than 300 people in an orderly manner and began to continuously cultivate the land.
…
In the blink of an eye, six days passed. A group of soldiers from the begging army came down the river on a raft.
"Wang Jing, how are you these days? Have those water thieves come ashore?"
The man who led the beggar soldiers was Zhang Hun. After he became the commander of the Chinese army, it did not mean that he could only stay in the riverside village without moving.
On the contrary, because the beggar army expanded too quickly, the strength of the soldiers has not kept up.
Therefore, in order to prepare for any eventuality, the elites of the Chinese army need to constantly patrol around in all directions to observe the situation of the field troops.
If the team that goes out to farm is incompetent, it will be replaced in time.
The dispersed common people are the source of the strength of the beggar army. It is the strength of the beggar army that will be seriously damaged. Ran Liang will not let it go.
After receiving the order to go out for inspection, Zhang Hun took the initiative to request to come to the Three Forts of East Lake.
When they approached the boundary of Donghu Fort, the sentry in charge of Jiang Zhixiong had already discovered them, and Wang Jing led people directly to the river.
"Haha, not bad!"
Wang Jing greeted him with a smile.
After he and Zhang Hun fought together in battle, their friendship grew deeper and deeper. So he was not too polite and led the other party towards the camp in the distance.
Zhang Hun looked around and saw more than two hundred people busy building a camp.
The camp is two hundred steps wide and three hundred steps long. It is not too big. There are wooden houses in the camp.
The village wall is simply built of wood and is not safe, but the people are digging trenches and sheep and horse walls along the village wall.
He also understood that it was impossible for more than three hundred people to build a well-defended camp in a short period of time.
Wang Jingneng was able to build a simple stronghold, and he also knew how to dig trenches and build sheep and horse walls to supplement the defense system of the camp, which was already very good.
This alone is several times stronger than other teams that are scattered around the fields.
In the past few days, Zhang Hun heard from acquaintances that the two teams stationed in the northern plains were incapable of management and many people starved to death, and some people were even preparing to flee.
In just a few days, the two captains in charge of the field were able to make things happen like this, which was really beyond the expectations of the top brass of the beggar army.
In fact, this situation is normal.
The high-ranking members of the beggar army are all from powerful families of the Han family, but the lower-level members are real refugees.
They have made a lot of contributions by surviving each battle.
But their character and methods are tainted with Hu Feng, and they are relatively rough.
It is easy to let them fight in battle, but it is beyond their ability to let them manage the refugee settlements.
Today's beggar army also lacks talents! When development reaches a certain level in the future, it will definitely be restricted due to lack of talent!
Zhang Hun originally thought that Wang Jing was facing the threat of Liang Shanshui bandits and had to build a camp to manage the refugees' farming. He must have been as messed up as the other farming teams.
But when I came here in person, I saw that the camp was gradually improving, as well as the large fields on the west and north sides of the camp that had been cultivated. The various vegetables grown in the fields were already growing lushly.
A few of the rice and wheat that were planted sprouted.
This scene shocked him.
"This...this already has more than a hundred acres of land! I didn't expect you to farm so fast!"
Zhang Hun was obviously shocked when he saw the reclaimed land.
Under normal circumstances, one acre of land can produce about two stones of grain.
However, the Beggar Army had fewer rice and wheat seeds, so they planted a lot of vegetables and beans on the reclaimed land.
These vegetables and beans are not as productive as rice. They can save lives in a short time, but they cannot be relied on for a long time.
The growth cycle of rice is about one hundred days. In this new world, the reproduction and growth of animals and plants is accelerated five times. In other words, one round of rice harvest can be started in twenty days.
Wang Jing cultivated more than 100 acres of land in seven or eight days. In a short time, he could harvest more than 100 stones of grain and grass, and he could continue harvesting in 20 days.
Soon, Donghu Castle will be self-sufficient!
"You...are really amazing!"
Zhang Hun couldn't help but admire.
Wang Jing smiled. The construction of East Lake Fort to its current level was mostly due to Shen Yi.
Although this future high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty was far from reaching the peak of his ability, he could quickly master the basic abilities of farming and building camps after a little familiarity.
In addition, more than 300 people were registered and coordinated. Compared with the management of Wang Jing and Tian Liangyun, the efficiency increased several times.
This is the ability of outstanding people, Wang Jingdu felt inferior to him.
After Wang Jing laughed twice, he shook his head and said seriously: "Now I can only say that I can barely survive. Don't forget that Donghu Fort is close to the Great Lake, and the Liangshanshui thieves will send people to attack sooner or later!"
"If we can block the attack of the water thieves, we will truly have laid a foundation!"
