0096 Expansion of people
In fact, it’s not that Liu Pei is being hypocritical. It’s that as a modern person, Liu Pei has a special respect for life. So he is not as indifferent to death as Qi Qitao and others. Because for them, death is a
Something that could happen at any time. And even if their lives were stable before, they were still struggling on the verge of starvation. The feeling was definitely unpleasant! It was enough to make people take risks!
Especially at this time, people still have this special obsession with their families. In their belief, even if they sacrifice themselves, they must exchange for a peaceful life for their families! There has never been a shortage of such people in Chinese history!
When the family is in crisis, or when the nation is in danger, there are always people who will stand up and work hard to prevent all disasters from happening, even at the risk of death! This may be why the inheritance of Han civilization has been subject to various crises for thousands of years.
But it is one of the reasons why it has never been stopped!
After Liu Pei returned to Fushan Village and arranged for the dead and injured young men, he let out a rumor and started recruiting people. Now the village was overcrowded!
Since Liu Pei last hosted the funeral for a few young men, there have been so many people who want to be Liu Pei's servants! Especially when Liu Pei decided to add 5 buckets of rice to the original one or two wages, military households
The remnants of the army among the disciples are going crazy! Anyway, it is death. If you die, your whole family can have enough to eat. This is something you have to fight for even if you die! Not to mention that you are not necessarily dead!
In fact, it’s no wonder that they went crazy. When their family members were working as regular soldiers in the guardhouse, they didn’t get as much salary as Liu Pei’s servants! Not to mention there were so many military surplus men without positions. Military surplus means those who meet the conditions.
However, the remaining military personnel who are no longer recruited when the guard station is full. These people are generally young people. They can neither join the army nor have extra land. They can only live by doing part-time work and cooking some private salt every day, and they are already half hungry.
I’m half full and can’t stand the day anymore. Now that I have such a good opportunity, of course I have to give it a try!
Moreover, there are often connections between villages by marriage, so it is not difficult at all for a message to spread from one village to another. Originally, the military households in several nearby villages all belonged to the Aoshan Guards.
Across Jiaozhou Bay, many children from military families came over from Lingshanwei.
And Liu Pei clearly said that this time a total of 500 people will be recruited. In other words, in addition to the more than 100 people he already has, Liu Pei will have to recruit at least 300 more people. This would have been what Liu Pei had done half a year ago.
Recruiting people, I'm afraid I can't recruit so many people even if I want to! Because except for the young people in the surrounding villages who want to farm, Liu Pei has basically recruited the rest. Fortunately, there are still military remnants from the villages far away.
There are so many, so we don’t have to worry about not being able to recruit people.
Moreover, it is not only his men who help Liu Pei spread the news, but also people in several surrounding villages are working hard to spread the word. The reason is very simple. The more servants Liu Pei recruits, the more supplies he needs. All the production in several nearby villages
It's not enough to sell all the grain, vegetables, meat and other items to Liu Pei. He also has to purchase some more in the county. If Liu Pei's servants increase, it means that demand is increasing! They will have more
More power means raising more livestock and spinning more cloth. These things are like strings of copper coins to these farmers’ families!
The surrounding villages have undergone tremendous changes since Liu Pei came. First of all, there are new wheat seeds, and my wife also taught them how to make soil fertilizer, so the food production increased by nearly 30%! Everyone's life was much easier that year. In addition,
Liu Pei's workshop also attracted a lot of idlers, and life in the village became even better!
In fact, what benefits everyone the most is the appetite of more than a hundred young men and the wear and tear of training! As the saying goes, "A half-grown man eats a poor man"! Not to mention a strong young man who practices every day! Liu Pei did not have any problems in order to practice
, each person must be rationed at least four taels of meat every day! In other words, one pig will be eaten in an average of three days! This has greatly increased the interest of all villagers in raising livestock! Every family is raising chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, so that they can grow up.
Sell it at a good price. As for the clothes and cloth shoes that Liu Pei provided for the young men, they were also purchased in the village. The older girls and younger wives can also earn hard money with their crafts! Life is much easier these days than before!
Although we now have a surplus of food at home, everyone is still frugal, but at least we still have three meals! Although these three meals are only a handful.
, but it’s much better than the days before when I only had one dry and one dry day! Occasionally, I can eat meat! The children have meat on their faces, and they are more energetic and naughty! The adults have blood on their faces, and they can work hard.
Strength! Even the older girls have become smarter! They can't marry to other villages to make it easier for those poor people! This kind of life is a good year for them that they have never encountered before! They are full of hope that Liu
Pei continues to be strong! This way they can live a better life!
Therefore, due to the support of the villagers, Liu Pei easily recruited 500 people. The happiest people among them are Qi Qitao and Wu Yizhou! Because since Liu Pei recruited his servants, the two of them have been responsible for leading the team to train and fight. This
With the enrollment expansion, their status will naturally increase. Therefore, the two of them are the most motivated.
Once the people were filled, the entire Fushan Village became lively. Liu Peigai's large barracks was already packed with 500 people. Now there are more than 20 aunts and daughters-in-law in the village helping to cook every morning.
The training of 500 people has become a scene in the village. After Liu Pei finished recruiting soldiers, he left the training to Qi Qitao and Wu Yizhou. He himself began to engage in economic development.
First of all, Liu Pei invested in the breeding industry of more than a dozen nearby villages. He couldn't increase the production of pigs and sheep, but he could do something about chickens and ducks. The thermometer he brought last time finally came in handy! Under Liu Pei's guidance, the women
They began to artificially hatch chickens and ducks. Liu Pei was responsible for paying for the construction of greenhouses and pens; the villagers were responsible for providing eggs and raising them. The profits gained by both parties were divided in half. Liu Pei was responsible for purchasing the meat produced. Liu Pei did this because he
He knew the principle of good rice and good rice and hatred. He was willing to let the villagers rely on their own labor to become rich instead of relying on him.
The first batch of chickens and ducks were hatched in Fushan Village. At that time, people from several nearby villages came to learn from him. When the first batch of chickens and ducks hatched, the whole village cheered! They knew Liu Pei
Chapter completed!
