Chapter 281 Inspection
“Shitou, all the personnel I dispatched should be in place, right?”
Zhou Xu always likes to do things seamlessly.
It doesn’t mean that he likes to do the second thing without stopping. He will also take the rest buffer time into consideration to maximize the overall efficiency.
Therefore, as early as they were preparing to leave, he had already asked the messenger to go ahead with the news and made arrangements for the personnel transfer.
Calculating the time, by the time they arrive at Salt Lake Village, everyone should be in place.
This is indeed the case.
"Yes, the personnel are already in place. According to your wishes, a special area has been organized to be used as a weaving factory."
"Let's go and have a look!"
Having been with Zhou Xu for so long before, Li Shitou certainly knew the temperament of their leader.
So when he went out to greet Zhou Xu, he had already issued an order to gather people.
"There are ten people in total. All departments are currently busy, and it is difficult to allocate suitable manpower."
Looking at the ten weaving factory workers already lined up, Zhou Xu explained a little.
“It should be enough.”
Wang Dong nodded without thinking too much.
When it comes to weaving linen, if you think of a small number of people, it can actually be done by one person. If you think of a large number of people, even a hundred people can do it. To put it bluntly, it is the difference between high and low efficiency.
After a brief conversation, Zhou Xu’s eyes fell on the ten people.
"Listen up! This is Wang Dong, Teacher Wang! From now on, he will be the director of the weaving factory, and Teacher Wang will guide you in this new job. , all ten of you will follow Teacher Wang’s arrangements from now on, do you understand?”
“Understood!”
After giving a brief speech, Zhou Xu turned to look. Wang Dong, who was still a little uncomfortable, gave the other party an encouraging look.
"Then, I'll leave the rest to Teacher Wang. If you need anything or have any questions, just go to Li Shitou directly. He is the head of Salt Lake Village. He will help you solve it. If he can't solve the problem, he will send it to Li Shitou. Come to me."
At this point, Zhou Xu paused.
"Oh, by the way, Teacher Wang can teach him how to read when he is free."
At this moment, Li Shitou obviously doesn't know what this so-called 'recognition' is. It was something, but their leader was talking, and he smiled and nodded.
“I will ask Teacher Wang to take care of me in the future.”
When Wang Dong saw this, he quickly said...
"Village Chief, you are so polite."
Wang Dong has made arrangements, and there will be nothing for him to do next, and Zhou Xu He didn't plan to stay in Salt Lake Village for too long. After taking a short rest, he galloped all the way and returned to Black Moon Village before dark.
It should be more than an hour before sunset, and all departments are still busy working.
They don’t like to start paddling right after get off work.
Here in Heiyue Village, what is different from the past is that there are several large stone mills in the working area of the Ministry of Agriculture, and cows are now pulling the stone mills around.
This stone mill is grinding potatoes at this time. They are ground finely here and then dried into powder to facilitate their long-term storage.
Just like flour, when needed, pour some potato flour out, add some water, stir and mix, simply process it and you can eat it.
Needless to say, this is preparing for winter. In addition, cured meat, fish and vegetables are also being made.
These winter foods are currently hot items on the market, and they are selling so well that they are sold out every time they are put on the market.
After all, unlike places like Prairie Village, which are written as ‘villages’ but are actually ‘military strongholds’, the food supplies here in Prairie Village are all managed and distributed in a unified manner.
As for Black Moon Village, since the trade policy was promoted, every house in the village has started to stockpile food for the winter.
For Zhou Xu, the biggest advantage is that the risk is greatly evenly shared.
Like Prairie Village, all the food is stored in the granary. In winter, if something happens to the granary, they will suffer heavy losses, and everyone in the village will be affected!
On the other hand, in Black Moon Village, every household stocked up on their own food. If anything happened, unless the village was wiped out, it would be unlikely.
Under this premise, if several families are in trouble, as long as the whole village mobilizes a little food, it can be easily relieved.
In addition, you can also buy or borrow grain from the granary in the village. There are many ways.
After the previous experience, Zhou Xu’s preparations for the new year are undoubtedly more adequate!
After confirming the situation in Black Moon Village, Zhou Xu will undoubtedly have to make another trip to Prairie Village.
We rested one night in Black Moon Village first, and set off immediately after breakfast the next morning. We could arrive successfully before noon.
Last winter, there was a blizzard on the grassland. The village that was most severely affected was the grassland village. The construction work of the previous year was basically in vain. It can be said that it greatly increased the work pressure of the engineering team this year.
Now that another winter is coming, out of caution, Zhou Xu naturally wants to go and confirm in person how the preparations are going.
If you find any deficiencies, you should make them up quickly while there is still time.
"Ye Jinghong, see the leader!"
"No courtesy!"
Zhou Xu got off his horse, and after a brief chat with Ye Jinghong outside the village, he followed him towards the village.
As expected, at this time, Li Ce was leading the cavalry team to sweep across the grassland. On the one hand, he was conducting daily cavalry training, and on the other hand, he was searching for traces of wild horses on the grassland.
Now in Prairie Village, in addition to ten vine armor soldiers, there are also twenty regular army soldiers who have completed training and are stationed here. This is all to guard against the group Drogo mentioned before. Neighbor with long ears.
But what remains unchanged is that the war horses they have here are still completely insufficient.
This made Zhou Xu miss Drogo very much. Their centaur clan was really good at catching wild horses.
The wild horses are so alert that sometimes they are discovered before they even get close, and then start running away like crazy.
Once they enter this situation, they can only chase after them.
Their war horses are equipped with a full set of harness, and there is a cavalryman on the back, with the load placed there.
Although the breeders raised him to be fat and strong, trained for a long time, and his muscles are very developed, it is still difficult to catch up.
In addition, they have little experience in catching wild horses, which is completely different from catching bison.
Although herds of wild horses were discovered twice, few were captured.
At this moment, the number of war horses in Prairie Village is only twenty-three, and there is no room for choice.
