In fact, apart from safety, there are basically no other resource advantages in Yuzhou. Although transportation is convenient, ships and trains have not yet been opened, and the economy is not good.
Therefore, many people are trying their best to find a job. If they want to live a better life, the best way is to join the City Lord's Mansion. The so-called City Lord's Mansion is actually a place that specializes in official business. If the people here have nothing to do, then It is very leisurely, and there is a fixed salary every day, so it is easy to support the family.
But it's not that easy to join the City Lord's Mansion, especially in this day and age.
If you want to join the City Lord's Mansion, you first need to take a written test, then an interview, and then there is an identity review. You must recruit children from good families. If you have someone with a criminal record, you will not be recruited at all. It can be said that, Only one person among a thousand people can successfully join the city lord's mansion.
Under this situation, the common people were both envious and jealous of the people in the City Lord's Mansion. What they were envious of was that these people followed Shen Feng too early. One of them became a chicken and a dog and ascended to heaven. Shen Feng became the Lord of Yuzhou City. As a result, the people who followed him also The rising tide lifts all boats, Shen Feng waved his hand, and everyone joined the City Lord's Mansion, becoming successful people in an instant.
If you join the City Lord's Mansion, you will have no worries about food and clothing. If you don't join, you will have to find another way.
In addition, it is much easier to sign up to be a soldier. The written test is not important first. As long as you are healthy and have no criminal record, you can also support a family. However, this requires you to go to the battlefield and work hard, and you are often away from home. For this kind of position, Generally speaking, it’s not a desperate situation, and there won’t be many people to choose from.
As a result, the civilians complained endlessly. If they couldn't find a job, their entire family would starve to death, but the city lord's palace did nothing.
In response to this situation, Professor Chu said to Shen Feng: "Actually, some of your subordinates have noticed your current predicament, and that is Tu Xuhuai. He has a good mind, but his heart is not right. He proposed farming. This It can consume a lot of manpower, and it will be much easier to find employment."
Shen Feng suddenly realized that the solution already existed, and it was indeed Tu Xuhuai. This person who was able to pass the civil service examination in the peaceful years had a terrifyingly calm mind. Whenever he needed to make a decision before, it was Tu Xuhuai who proposed the appropriate solution. decision.
Professor Chu continued: "Shen Feng, the reason why I want you to read more about history is to find solutions from history. Why do we need to farm? Because there is a lack of food and there are too many unemployed people, so we have to let these people settle down. Old If we produce food honestly, how many people can the factory absorb? What if the products we produce cannot be sold? Therefore, farming and building city walls are the most appropriate methods!"
Shen Feng nodded and suddenly became worried: "Teacher, we don't have enough food in hand. We can't do large-scale farming and city wall construction without food!"
Professor Chu took his time, took a sip of tea, and continued: "This is the scary thing about Tu Xuhuai. He has already thought of this, so he suggests that you issue food stamps. As long as there are food stamps, then the wages will be settled." When the time comes, there will be no need to use physical goods like grain as a substitute, and if the extortion of grain is prohibited, then food stamps can be used to mobilize everyone."
Shen Feng nodded. At this time, he finally understood how to deal with the current crisis. As the saying goes, a family with an elder is like a treasure.
Shen Feng made a decision immediately and said to Chang Jianyi: "Hurry up and gather all the people under my command to discuss the farming and issuance of food stamps. This is urgent. If the contradiction at the bottom is not resolved, these people may Overthrow me."
Chang Jianyi pointed outside the window. Everyone looked out the window and saw the dark night sky. It was three o'clock in the middle of the night. At this time, I don't know how many people are still sleeping. I have to wake them up. It seems too inhumane. Even if you want to exploit employees, you can't do it now, right?
Shen Feng shrugged helplessly and said: "Sister, I can only work harder now. I can't help it. The situation in Yuzhou is so deteriorating now. If the problems at the bottom are not solved, the gangs will definitely become worse and worse. If you stay up late, you can’t treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Just stay up late, and be sure to set a time and strategy as soon as possible.”
Chang Jianyi could only inform the important managers of the City Lord's Mansion to hold a meeting quickly!
If it hadn't been for this sudden assassination, Shen Feng would not have discovered the crisis in Yuzhou so quickly. Unknowingly, the gang problem had become so serious, but no one noticed it. It can only be said that this was a blessing in disguise. Although he encountered He committed an assassination, but he understood the situation in Yuzhou and made appropriate responses.
The discussion lasted all night in the city lord's palace, and Tu Xuhuai stood on the stage and made an impassioned speech. He was the person with the most far-sighted vision in the city lord's palace. Among them, he proposed the farming and issuance of food stamps, and he also took the longest to prepare. He could easily answer questions when asked, and his reputation was as good as ever.
Among them, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Yang Ye are the most jealous. They and Tu Xuhuai were among the first people to follow Shen Feng, but now, all the limelight has been taken away by Tu Xuhuai. It is really infuriating that people are more popular than others.
However, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Yang Ye could only admire that Tu Xuhuai was always better at long-term planning.
Zhou Xiaoxiao and Yang Ye looked at each other and decided in their hearts to let Tu Xuhuai show his face for the time being, but in the long run, it was not certain who would have the last laugh.
After an all-night discussion, the city lord's palace formulated a plan, which was to recover the entire territory first from the west and then from the east.
The entire territory of Yuzhou is controlled by Shen Feng, and only the provincial capital is in the hands. In addition, other towns have not yet been managed, and the farming must recover these areas. Only then can the farming plan be continued. Killing zombies must be done, roughly. By some calculation, there are still more than three million zombies in Yuzhou, scattered in various towns.
As for the direction of recovery, it must be from the west first and then the east. The reason is also very simple. There is a plain in the west, which happens to be connected with Jiangyang. It is also very convenient to plant crops. On the contrary, the east side is full of hills and the terrain is steeper, so it is difficult to recover. It is very difficult and there is not much land available for cultivation.
By the time the discussion was over, it was already bright in the east.
When Tu Xuhuai walked out of the conference room with dark circles under his eyes, many people from the City Lord's Mansion came up to chat. No one was a fool. Tu Xuhuai's plan was discussed in the middle of the night, which was enough to show the City Lord's attention. This kind of person will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future. Now the relationship is better, and he can move around more in the future.
Tu Xuhuai is also very modest about everyone's flattery. This is something he has learned after working in the system for several years. He cannot be too arrogant towards anyone, otherwise it will easily anger others. When communicating with others, he might as well lower his posture. If If someone just answers "fuck off" to a random question, such a person will be dealt with sooner or later.
Tu Xuhuai was chatting and laughing with everyone. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang found him with news.
"Tu Xuhuai, the mayor wants to see you, please go there." Zhang Xiaoqiang said to Tu Xuhuai.
Everyone immediately looked at Tu Xuhuai with envy. They all knew that this was Tu Xuhuai's opportunity. The city lord adopted such an important plan, and as the framer, Tu Xuhuai must have been taken seriously. What follows? Tu Xuhuai is about to be promoted.
This was indeed the case, and Shen Feng decided to appoint Tu Xuhuai as the Minister of Personnel, equivalent to the Minister of Personnel.
The city lord's palace quickly notified the whole city of Yuzhou, and sent a telegram to Li Xiang in Jiangyang. Yuzhou and Jiangyang will start farming. As long as someone signs up, it will definitely pass. Farming may not be very profitable, but it can support a family. There is no problem for people. The most important thing is whether they starve to death.
Shen Feng has five or six cities under his command, but only Jiangyang and Yuzhou are relatively good. They are both on the Yangtze River, with convenient transportation, and most of the population is concentrated in these two cities. He announced the farming plan in these two cities. It is equivalent to facing most people.
In an instant, the number of people who signed up to participate in the field farming was endless. In just a few days, there were more than 30,000 people working in the field. In addition, there were 20,000 people participating in the construction of the city wall of Yuzhou.
The issuance of food stamps also started at the same time, and the plan to issue food stamps went much smoother than Shen Feng expected. Almost everyone was in favor of issuing food stamps. Although the survivors were basically young people, they also I have heard about food stamps from my parents, but it is still too troublesome to use food to settle wages, especially since it is difficult to hide and can be easily stolen.
Burglaries are common, especially when food is stolen, which is simply too numerous to count.
If food stamps could be issued, it would be much easier to settle the food bill. Whether it is hidden in a rag doll or hidden in the sole of a shoe, it will not be easily snatched away.
In this case, everyone had a need for food stamps, so it was a matter of course. Food banks were opened in Yuzhou and Jiangyang to use food stamps for redemption. However, the food stamps were exchanged under a real-name system, and each person had a limited amount of redemption.
The restriction on exchange is to prevent runs. If all the grain in the grain bank is ransacked, the value of the food stamps will inevitably decrease.
After the farming plan started, Yuzhou and Jiangyang quickly became busy. The crops they planted were also very simple. They mainly planted staple foods. Vegetables are not the most important. Staple foods must be sufficient. If you don't eat vegetables, you won't be able to survive. You can die, but you can't do it without eating staple food.
The first energy that humans need is definitely sugar, that is, crops that can produce starch. Rice and corn are the most commonly grown. In more remote places, potatoes are grown. If the fields are really remote, then the people who work in the fields will not be able to use them at all. Don't care, the place for farming must be plains first.
Shen Feng pounces on his desk every day, and documents are delivered one after another. Even if Shen Feng only needs to sign, it is still very mentally taxing.
Moreover, Shen Feng became an apprentice to Professor Chu and had to study specifically after work every day. Professor Chu did not only know history, he also knew a lot about politics. He often explained politics through historical events, which made Shen Feng dizzy. He was so sleepy that it was simply torture for a science student to learn these things.
But Shen Feng couldn't regret it. Professor Chu's body was deteriorating and he might not be able to survive for a long time. However, he was old and in poor health and couldn't use evolution potions, so he could only let Shen Feng grow up as soon as possible before he died. , you cannot let others make all decisions.
That night, Shen Feng was listening to a lecture in Professor Chu's study. Professor Chu was telling the history of land on the small blackboard, "Shen Feng, you have to remember that when you reward the people below, you must not give land casually. Because land policy has surrounded China for thousands of years, if we don’t take it seriously, we will die without a burial place.”
Shen Feng nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I understand. Everything you say is right, teacher."
Professor Chu continued: "Because of this, farming is only a temporary policy. When the world is at peace, farming will no longer be suitable. Farming in troubled times, in prosperous times is to divide the fields. And how to divide the fields, I will give you a book, Look carefully."
With that said, Professor Chu took down an old red-covered book from the bookshelf. The pages were yellowed and wrinkled. It looked like it had been around for a long time. However, it was obviously not for nothing that this book was valued by Professor Chu. that's all.
Professor Chu solemnly handed the book to Shen Feng and said in a deep voice: "Read more of this book of quotations. The more troubled the times, the more you need to learn them. It can teach you how to manage and can also make you see clearly. The essence of the matter, I wrote a lot of notes on it, pick it up and read it when you have time."
Shen Feng took the quotation and took a look at it. He couldn't help frowning and said to the professor: "Teacher, I have learned it in school. You don't need to give me a special copy, right?"
Professor Chu smiled and continued: "Have you learned it?"
"No." Shen Feng said honestly.
"Then just study." Professor Chu laughed. If you could learn it by reading a book, there would be no such sentence. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. This chapter has been completed!
