In the evening, the militia squad returned from leveling up. The village canteen had already started cooking, and smoke was rising from the chimneys. After a busy day, the villagers gathered in groups of twos and threes, chatting about their daily lives.
Back at the lord's mansion, the second child immediately rushed out and took the horse rope and weapons from Ouyang Shuo's hands. After greeting everyone, Ouyang Shuo returned to his room and went offline.
The morning sun was warm. Running on the green road in the district and breathing in the fresh air, the exhaustion of the night immediately dissipated. Today was the weekend. Yesterday, Ouyang Shuo had promised to take Bing'er on an outing. In the last ten days, he logged into the game early every night and didn't spend time with her. The little princess was already a little angry.
In the winter suburbs, the cold wind was blowing. Fortunately, the winter in Lingnan wasn't cold. It was similar to autumn in other places. The grass gradually turned yellow. In the distance, Bing'er was like a little bird. She spread her arms and flew around happily, imitating the sound of a plane. Ouyang Shuo was sitting on the grass with a picnic mat under him. The mat was filled with chips, cakes, fruit juices and all kinds of delicious food.
"Bing'er, come and eat something." Ouyang Shuo shouted.
The little girl imitated the diving posture of a plane and rushed into Ouyang Shuo's arms. She sat on Ouyang Shuo's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. She sweetly acted like a spoiled child, "Brother, the suburbs are really fun. Sister Xiao Yue didn't come. It's a big loss. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Your Sister Xiao Yue sleeps in on the weekends. Has Bing'er been good recently? Have you listened to Sister Xiao Yue? "
The little girl nodded vigorously and said innocently, "Bing'er has been good recently. Sister Xiao Yue tells me stories every day and accompanies me to do my homework. She's very good to me."
Ouyang Shuo smiled, "Since Big Sister Xiao Yue treats you so well, shouldn't Bing 'er bring back some gifts for Big Sister Xiao Yue?"
Bing'er cutely nodded. Then she frowned and scratched her little head. She cutely said, "Yes, you're right. But what gift should I bring for Sister Xiao Yue? "
Ouyang Shuo pinched her little face and coaxed her, "How about this, Brother Xiao Yue will teach you how to weave a wreath. Bing-er will personally weave a flower garland for her. Sister Xiao Yue will definitely like it. "
Bing 'er immediately clapped her hands and smiled, "Okay, okay. Big brother, hurry up and teach Bing' er. Also, Bing 'er has to wear one too. "
Thus, the siblings got up and found a pile of emerald green grass stalks. Step by step, Ouyang Shuo taught her how to weave the grass stalks into rings according to the size of her head. Then, he found some green leaves and wild flowers, and placed them on the grass wreath, and the wreath was finished. He placed the flower garland he made on Bing-Er's head. The little girl stood up and spun around a few times, asking her brother if he was pretty.
When they got home in the afternoon, Bing'er put the garland she made on Xiaoyue's head the moment she entered the door. She said fawningly, "Sister, this is made by Bing'er myself."
Sun Xiaoyue was touched by the little girl. She hugged Bing'er and kissed her a few times. She said happily, "Bing'er is such a good girl. You still remember to bring me a gift when you go out to play. I didn't dote on you for nothing. "Bing'er didn't want to give up and kissed Xiaoyue back. She hugged Xiaoyue and didn't let go.
Ouyang Shuo stood to the side and watched the two beauties play with each other. He was full of happiness.
When he went online again, it was the beginning of a new day in the game. He played with Hei Ya, who was already running around in the yard. The little guy grew very fast. In less than ten days, his body had grown a size.
As usual, he practiced the Great Spear for an hour before walking to the meeting hall. With the completion of the basic construction of the first level village, Ouyang Shuo already had a draft in his mind on what to do next.
This time, eight people were summoned to the meeting. Apart from the fixed five people, the newly appointed clerk Gu Xiuwen, the soon to be appointed shipyard director Zheng Dahai, and the original Zhao Family Ditch mason Zhao Dewang were also allowed to participate in the meeting. Before this, Zhao Dewang had always been the assistant of the construction team leader Zhao Dexian. This time, Ouyang Shuo had given him a new appointment.
After Ouyang Shuo sat down, he directly said, "Everyone, after ten days of hard work, apart from the farmland that has yet to be reclaimed, all the other basic buildings in Shanhai Village have been completed. We have even completed four additional buildings. I believe that everyone here has their own ideas on how to develop the territory. This is also the main topic of this meeting. Before we discuss the specific plans, I would like to ask the clerk, Gu Xiuwen, to report the situation of the territory's population so that everyone has a clear idea of what to do. "
Gu Xiuwen stood up and bowed. He said, "According to your orders, Xiuwen has been compiling the territory's population for the past two days. As of today, the territory has a total of 162 people. It is estimated that it will reach the upper limit of 200 people in four days. Apart from the management personnel present, the territory also had 10 militiamen and 13 skilled people, including 4 shipbuilding apprentices. There are 30 lumberjacks, 10 quarry workers, and 90 construction workers. The above three types of workers are all part-time farmers. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly. He was satisfied with his work efficiency. He then said, "From the distribution of the territory's population, there are two main problems. The first is that the territory's population management is too extensive, which is not conducive to fine management. The next step is to divide the farmers into five categories: farmers, workers, fishermen, herdsmen, and craftsmen. All farmers, vegetable farmers, and fruit farmers will be classified as farmers. All lumberjacks, quarrymen, and miners will be classified as workers. All fishermen will be classified as fishermen. All herdsmen and breeders will be classified as herdsmen. All stonemasons, masons, and carpenters will be classified as craftsmen.
"After the division, we will verify the corresponding household registration certificates. Once the household registration is established, no one can change it without the lord's permission. At the same time, we need to adjust the residential areas so that the same type of people live together. For this reason, I have decided to set up a new organization to handle this matter. The organization will be called the household registration office. " At this point, Ouyang Shuo paused and looked at Gu Xiuwen with a smile, "Xiuwen, you did well. I am very satisfied. You will be in charge of the household registration office. "
Gu Xiuwen hurriedly got up and said gratefully, "Xiuwen thanks you for your trust. I will not let you down."
"System Notification: Gu Xiuwen has been put in an important position by the lord. Loyalty has increased by 5 points!"
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and continued, "There is another problem that is even more serious. The number of skilled people is too small. Skill-type talents couldn't be waited for. We need to nurture them ourselves. We encourage them to recruit apprentices and improve their living conditions. Master Zheng Dahai has done a good job in this area. He recruited four apprentices in one go and set a good example. For this reason, I have decided to appoint Master Zheng as the director of the elementary shipyard. "
Zheng Dahai also got up to express his gratitude, "Zheng Dahai thanks you for your trust. I will not let you down."
"System Notification: Zheng Dahai has been put in an important position by the lord. Loyalty has increased by 5 points!"
Ouyang Shuo continued, "I will take this opportunity to announce a few personnel changes. The logistics department will be officially upgraded to the Material Reserve Department. Cui Yingyou, who was in charge of the logistics department, will be appointed as the director of the Material Reserve Department. Zhao Youfang, the director of the elementary sawmill, and Zheng Shanpao, the director of the elementary quarry, will be appointed as the deputy directors.
"Set up the Department of Land Reclamation, responsible for the reclamation of farmland, orchards, vegetable plots, and other agricultural land. Zhao Dexian, the former captain of the construction team, will be the director. The construction team was upgraded to the Construction Division, which was responsible for all the construction work in the territory. Zhao Dewang was appointed as the Deputy Director and was temporarily in charge of the Construction Division. Set up the Salt Field Department to be in charge of drying salt from seawater. I will be personally in charge of it for the time being. "
After a series of appointments, the administrative structure at the village level became more standardized and orderly, and administrative efficiency would be further improved. From the way they were appointed, the three people from the Zhao Family Ravine were placed in an important position, occupying half of the territory. This was because they were already competent enough, and it was also Ouyang Shuo's extra care for this group of territory elders.
Zhao Dexian was in charge of the Department of Land Reclamation. He was making the best use of his talents when he returned to his field of expertise, agriculture. Although Zhao Youfang was only a carpenter and was not cultured, he was very quick-witted and very respectful towards Ouyang Shuo. Ouyang Shuo was prepared to focus on nurturing him. Once the private school in the territory was established, he would send him to further his studies. Zhao Dewang's ability was somewhat lacking, and he was not yet able to take on such a heavyweight department like the Construction Division. Unfortunately, there were limited talents in the territory, so they could only choose the tallest among the shortest.
After everyone received their orders, Ouyang Shuo continued to preside over the meeting.
"The personnel adjustments have been completed. Next up is the development plan for the territory. Before advancing to a second-class village, there are two major things that need to be done. The first is the reclamation of farmland. The Department of Land Reclamation will be fully responsible for it, and we need to reclaim at least 500 mu of farmland. The second is the construction of the coastal salt pans. The Salt Pans Department will be fully responsible for it, and the shipyard will cooperate with the transportation of personnel and supplies. The militia team will be responsible for security.
"After that. According to the development plan of the territory, the household registration office will work with the heads of the three divisions to determine the distribution ratio of the five types of personnel, as well as the subsequent distribution plan. In principle, the distribution will be based on the ratio of 3: 3: 2: 1: 1. "
When he finally finished explaining everything, Ouyang Shuo looked around at everyone and said, "That's the general content. If anyone has any thoughts or questions, you can raise them now. "
Gu Xiuwen was the first to stand up and ask, "Sir, I have a question. Currently, there is no herdsman in the territory except for Second Child. At the same time, there are no livestock in the territory, so how do we determine the number of herdsman? "
Ouyang Shuo laughed and replied, "Good question. First, put Second Child's household registration in the Lord's Residence, and there is no need for him to be a herdsman. Second, although there are no livestock in the territory, we obtained a manual of Wild Boar Domestication Techniques with General Shi's help yesterday. The domestication of wild boars will be the beginning of the territory's animal husbandry exhibition. Next, the militia will be responsible for the acquisition of wild boars, and the Construction Department will be responsible for the construction of pig pens. The Reserve Department will be responsible for the training and management of pig rearing technicians. "
Gu Xiuwen acknowledged and sat down. He was already clear about the Lord's plans.
Cui Yingyou then stood up and asked, "Sir, I also have a question. Among the various resources in the territory, only wood and stone are produced. Grain and iron ore are only exported and not imported. What is Sir's plan? "
As expected of a merchant, Yingyou had a strategic vision when it came to the management of resources. She would not be limited to muddling along. Ouyang Shuo nodded in satisfaction and replied, "Yingyou's question is also very good. I will first answer the question about grain. There are only two ways to obtain grain. One is to buy it from the market, which requires a lot of financial support. The other is to develop animal husbandry and fishing. I have already explained the short term plan for animal husbandry very clearly, so I will not repeat it. As for fishing, we will prioritize the development of offshore fishing. The shipyard will prioritize the construction of fishing boats and rent them to fishermen to encourage them to go out to sea to fish. As for the management of fishermen, we will temporarily put them under the management of the Reserve Department. "
"I will also answer the question about iron ore. Currently, the iron ore in the territory is mainly used to forge farming tools and other kinds of tools, so the demand is not big. After the territory is promoted to a second-class village, we will start the construction. I suggest that the Reserve Department start the preparatory work now and arrange for personnel to find suitable iron mines within the territory. "
After Ouyang Shuo finished speaking, Shi Wansui, who had been silent all this while, stood up and said, "My Lord. According to my Lord's arrangements, the militia has two tasks at the same time. One is to protect the salt pans that are about to be built, and the other is to find piglets. Currently, there are only ten people in the militia, and they are also responsible for the safety of the territory. I wonder if my Lord has any specific arrangements? "
"This is indeed a problem. How about this, I will temporarily appoint you as the supervisor of the salt pans. You will represent me in charge of the training of seaside salt drying technicians and the construction of the salt pans. During this time, you will personally be stationed at the salt pans construction site. At the same time, divide the militia into two small teams. I will appoint Zhang Da Niu as the captain of the first small team, and he will be responsible for the mission of finding piglets. I will appoint Dog Three as the captain of the second small team, and he will be responsible for patrolling the territory. "
After answering Shi Wansui's question, there were no more questions. Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to announce the end of the meeting.
