Du Xuan has always been worried about the issues Hu Benrui mentioned. The current situation in Black Bear Castle is very different from when he first arrived. The larger the population, the more complicated the situation. The previous 15,000 rebel prisoners have not yet been fully digested.
Now there are another 20,000 to 30,000 refugees. Among the 20,000 to 30,000 people, there are all kinds of people. If such a complex personnel composition is not handled properly, big problems will arise. Fortunately, the food in Black Bear Castle is relatively sufficient now.
However, after the next year, the planting area of the first crop must reach a certain amount, which is a big problem for Black Bear Castle.
The proportion of soldiers in Black Bear Fort is relatively high. When there is no war, the army can be self-sufficient through farming. But after the beginning of spring, the Golden Crow Barbarians should no longer give the Chiyang Guard a chance to develop. The Chiyang Guard is like a
A nail is usually hammered into the passage for the Golden Crow barbarians to invade Daqi. Once the Chiyang Guards grow stronger, the next time the barbarians attack Daqi, he will definitely be worried that the Chiyang Guards will raid Mauihan City again and cut off the barbarians' attack.
Material passage. If it weren't for the fact that the food passage was cut off, how could Jinwu be willing to give up the Sichuan Prefecture City that he had already acquired?
Once the Chiyang Guards are caught in the continuous war with the barbarians, the army of Black Bear Castle will be unable to achieve self-sufficiency. At this time, the pressure of supply will completely fall on the heads of these complicated people of Black Bear Castle.
Du Xuan not only lacks experienced commanders, but also lacks officials to manage the government affairs of Black Bear Castle. Originally, Du Xuan hoped that among the refugees coming from Fucheng, there must be many who hold certain positions in Fucheng or are knowledgeable.
.
But when Du Xuan recruited Han Xuezhen, he discovered that he had overlooked an issue: the conflict between warriors and literati. Du Xuan was only from a hundred households, and his status was at the bottom among military officers. For literati, it was simply insignificant.
Han Xuezhen looked down upon Du Xuan, a small family. So Du Xuan immediately changed his mind and let these scholars see the situation clearly first.
"I will find a way to solve these problems. But everyone should prepare for the plan to raid the barbarians. Once the time is right, we will launch it immediately." Du Xuan said.
"As you command!"
Du Xuan's subordinates said in unison.
Du Xuan himself is actually still a hundred households, and his subordinates are not officially a hundred households. But Du Xuan doesn't care about these rules. These are troubled times, and those ordinary rules are not suitable for troubled times.
The next day, some notices were posted at Black Bear Castle. Considering that most of the people were illiterate, many places specially arranged for people to explain the contents of the notices to the new and old residents of Black Bear Castle.
"Third Young Master has ordered that all residents of Black Bear Castle, old and new, who have skills can register with the chief, and the chief will send them to Butler Du. Butler Du will assess the applicants. If they can pass the assessment,
Then he can be admitted to the Black Bear Castle Academy and exempted from labor. Different wages will be given to the person according to his skills and top-notch housing will be arranged." Wu Minglou read loudly.
"Excuse me, what is considered a skill? I am very good at fighting, does it count?" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
Wu Minglou smiled and said: "It doesn't count if you can win one or two, but if you can win ten or eight, I will directly recruit you to the military camp."
"I can!" A burly man squeezed through the crowd and walked out. His strength was so great that he squeezed the people next to him and staggered.
"How good are you in fighting?" Xu Bazhi, who was maintaining order on the side, looked at this Chinese character with deep meaning. This man looked really extraordinary. When he stood in front, his momentum was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
"Normally ten or eight people can't get close to me," the man said.
"Then you have a few tricks with me. If you defeat me, follow me immediately." Xu Bazhi said.
"Yes! However, my hands are very heavy. If I hurt you, you can't be punished." The man said with some worry.
Yuan Hao burst into laughter. Yuan Hao failed to tame a horse and broke his leg bone. Now his leg is not only healed, but he has also tamed a dragon-scale horse leader and became a member of Du Xuan's escort team. This time, he also came to take charge with Xu Bazhi.
Recruit people.
Xu Bazhi touched his nose and said with a smile: "Not only will you not be punished, but you will be considered to have merit. The position of captain of the Third Young Master's escort team will be directly given to you."
"Then why are you so embarrassed?" The man scratched his head, feeling really embarrassed.
Everyone found this man even more interesting.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's first see how many pounds you have." Xu Bazhi waved his hand and motioned for the man to come up.
The man immediately pounced on Xu Bazhi. Although this man looked a bit naive, he had very solid boxing and kicking skills. His lower body was steady, his upper body was strong, and his fists were whirring.
Xu Bazhi also became serious. Naturally, he did not dare to be careless. If the boat capsized in the gutter, he would not know where to put his dignity as the captain of the escort team.
The man's moves are simple, but full of strength. It can be seen that this man is still in the preliminary stage of body training. He relies entirely on the brute force of his whole body and is extremely lacking in skills. Compared with a low-level warrior like Xu Bazhi, he still has a certain level.
gap.
The man punched Xu Bazhi, but even withdrew a little force, probably because he was afraid that Xu Bazhi would be killed with one punch.
Xu Bazhi blocked it easily and said with a smile: "Your fist is like a girl, it has no strength at all."
"I, I'm afraid I'll kill you with one punch. I won't hold back my strength later, so you should be careful," the man said.
"Come on, use your best strength." Xu Bazhi said.
"Okay! Let's see what the move is!" The man really used all his strength to punch Xu Bazhi.
Originally, the man's punch was full of flaws, and Xu Bazhi could easily dodge it and then give the man a fatal blow. However, Xu Bazhi still firmly caught the man's punch.
The man's punch was caught by Xu Bazhi. Naturally, he knew that his strength was far inferior to that of Xu Bazhi. His face turned red and he muttered: "I am no match for you."
After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Hey! Wait a minute." Xu Bazhi shouted.
"What?" the man asked.
"I didn't say you can't beat me, so I don't want you. What's your name?" Xu Bazhi said with a smile.
"My name is Yuan Dali." The man replied.
"Yuan Dali, indeed Dali. I want you. But under my hands, it will be harder and more tiring than working. Are you afraid?" Xu Bazhi asked.
Yuan Dali chuckled and said: "I'm not afraid. As long as I can eat enough, I can endure any hardship."
"That's no problem, you'll have enough food and meat!" Xu Bazhi said with a smile. I think that Xu Bazhi himself was deceived into Black Bear Castle by this sentence.
