Chapter 113 Personnel Arrangement
To further improve transportation efficiency, upgrading wooden carts to horse carriages, donkey carts or ox carts can bring them great convenience. There is no doubt about this.
But if you want to say how urgent this matter is, it is not.
At the barren mountain camp, although half of the mountain is bare and desolate due to the ecological environment on the Gobi side, the ecological environment on the other side of the mountain is pretty good.
Coupled with the crops that 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 is completely self-sufficient.
The only time efficiency is needed is probably when this camp is attacked.
Although according to Zhou Xu's previous analysis, it is unlikely that the wild stone tribe deep in the mountains would leave the land with richer resources and go to such great lengths to provoke them.
But analysis is analysis. Sometimes people’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations, and you still have to take precautions.
If a battle breaks out that cannot be solved by the barren mountain camp alone, the efficiency of support will be very important.
However, this does not change the reality that the problem of centaurs and hyenas is difficult to solve.
If you want to circumvent this problem and do not consider support efficiency, the best way is to directly accumulate heavy troops in the barren mountain camp to further enhance their independent combat capabilities.
In terms of numbers, after the fifty prisoners of war left, not counting the large troops they brought over, according to the latest statistics, there were 109 people left in the Barren Mountain Camp.
With a scale of more than a hundred people, it is definitely enough if the short-term goal is just to hold on to the camp and farm with peace of mind for development.
However, most of the one hundred and nine people were prisoners of war.
Regarding these prisoners of war, Zhou Xu would definitely not stay here, as it would be difficult to control if something went wrong.
He will keep at most thirty of these prisoners of war in the Barren Mountain Camp, and the rest will be scattered and distributed to the other three camps.
Of course, in this way, the number of people in the barren mountain camp will be less than a hundred.
Of course Zhou Xu has taken this into consideration. He will replace people from the other three camps to ensure that there are a hundred people in the barren mountain camp.
Under this premise, there is undoubtedly a need for a trustworthy and capable subordinate to take charge.
Considering that the other party needs to have the ability to be independent, there are not many choices left for him.
[Ye Jinghong, Shi Lei and Li Ce, these are basically the three candidates. 】
[In terms of trust, among the three, the one I trust most is definitely Jinghong, but he is currently at the grassland camp. Taking into account his talent, let him be stationed in a separate operation for a long time. The camp was undoubtedly a bit wasted. ]
[The rest are Shi Lei and Li Ce...]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu fell into deep thought and finally made a decision.
"Let Shi Lei come and take charge of the barren mountain camp!"
This is probably the result of his careful consideration.
Compared to Li Ce, who is obviously more offensive, Shi Lei, whose talent is to "camp at every step", in Zhou Xu's view is an all-rounder who can "advance and attack, retreat and defend".
Furthermore, Shi Lei has a calm style. To defend the camp, the most important thing is to be calm and have strong willpower. In a life-or-death situation, if you can hold on for just a moment and a half longer, reinforcements will arrive and the situation will be different.
Therefore, overall speaking, compared to Li Ce, Shi Lei is a more suitable general to sit in the barren mountain camp.
After making this decision, Zhou Xu directly sent someone back to convey the order and transferred Shi Lei to take up the post.
It was impossible for him to stay at the Barren Mountain Camp forever. According to his plan, basically when Shi Lei arrived, he should return to the Black Moon Camp.
After all, Black Moon Camp is the base camp where he focuses on development at this stage.
Zhou Xu’s decision was not hidden from Li Ce, and he informed the other party of the reasons appropriately.
Li Ce also chose to accept it and did not show any objection.
In the following days, Zhou Xu mainly spent his time resting and waiting. From time to time, he would keep an eye on the renovation work at the camp.
Over time, the progress is quite good.
The camp, which was originally missing a piece in the east and a piece in the west due to extensive reconstruction, now looks a little different.
At the same time, Zhao Geng’s side...
After a long journey, Zhao Geng passed by the Salt Lake Camp and took a short rest. At noon on this day, he finally officially arrived at the Black Moon Camp!
At that moment, Zhao Geng looked around, looking at the Black Moon Camp that came into his eyes from a distance, and he was stunned.
He had never thought that the layout of a camp could be so orderly! Every area is reasonably arranged.
During this period, he saw at a glance the field being cultivated. Both the scale and layout were far beyond his expectations.
To be honest, when he saw the Salt Lake Camp, he was a little nervous.
Because the Salt Lake Camp is a functional camp with mining and salt mining as its main work, the facilities of the entire camp are very simple and the scale is also small.
Compared with Salt Lake Camp, the scale of development of Black Moon Camp, which is now Zhou Xu’s base camp, has completely exceeded the level of an ordinary primitive village, regardless of the population.
If Zhao Geng was still unsure before, then at this moment, he could say in a very firm tone that compared with the Black Moon Camp in front of him, Wang Luchong before The camp was turned into a piece of shit! And it was so thin that it sprayed everywhere!
The members of the transportation team brought back Zhou Xu's order, and the personnel headed by Zhao Geng were quickly placed properly.
Especially Zhao Geng, as an agricultural development talent, he has relatively rich farming experience. At this juncture when it is necessary to vigorously develop farming and open up the farming era, he must be reused.
However, Zhou Xu did not arrange a position as Minister of Agriculture for Zhao Geng as soon as he came up.
Unlike Ye Yan at that time, there was no medical department in their tribe at that time, so he could directly appoint Ye Yan as the minister and establish a medical department.
But there is an agricultural sector in their tribe, and it has developed to a certain scale.
Although Zhao Geng himself has excellent abilities, considering the emotions of his subordinates, it is impossible for him to directly parachute Zhao Geng down.
In this way, on the grounds that Zhao Geng knew how to grow these newly discovered crops, Zhou Xu first arranged for him to be the leader of the farming team and asked him to lead the team members in farming work. .
I believe that in this work process, Zhao Geng will soon be able to demonstrate his outstanding abilities. When he accumulates certain achievements and Zhou Xu comes to promote his position, I think other people in the Ministry of Agriculture will not be concerned about this. Feeling dissatisfied.
