The mountain-like granary in the backyard of the Li family's mansion, as well as the food stored by other aristocratic families in the city, are definitely enough for the people of these engineering teams to eat and drink on a daily basis.
Not only will you be full, but you may even be able to eat well.
In my hometown where productivity is developed and shopping is convenient, most people do not have the awareness to actively store food.
The food stored by ordinary northerners is usually enough for half a year.
The food stored by southerners may be enough for one or two months, or even a week.
Because in my hometown, there may be granaries in every prefecture-level city, even in small counties and villages.
Anyway, no one will be hungry.
The excess grain left over from annual production and consumption will be made into feed for livestock or used to make wine.
There are even some grains that cannot be used up and will be used to prepare biogasoline.
But it's different here in Ming Dynasty, completely different.
The land is barren, farming techniques are extremely low, seeds are of poor quality, and they are greatly affected by weather... and many other factors have greatly reduced food production.
Moreover, food storage is a technical job that can be a matter of life and death.
In the agricultural era, when people relied on the weather for food, the sense of crisis caused by the lack of food was engraved in their genes, whether it was ordinary people or princely families.
Under such circumstances, an average wealthy family would store food for one year, or even two or three years.
And for aristocratic families who already own large tracts of land, the scale of their food storage is even more terrifying.
A warehouse in the Li family's backyard, including the granaries in their five large farms outside the city, is enough to feed and drink these 15,000 strong men for at least half a year, almost a year.
Huang An didn't need to bring large quantities of food from his hometown at all.
When the engineering team gets on track, farmland is mined in large quantities, and the first harvest is harvested, the problem of food will no longer be an issue.
Huang An directly sent people to call Zhao Lu, Qian Shan, Zhang Rang, Yang Hao and other ten people to the pavilion outside the treasury to stand by.
Huang An will arrange tasks for them soon.
Among these ten people, five are bronze-skinned warriors belonging to the Firearms Department.
The remaining five are from Xialin Village and can be considered as our own.
Two days ago, Huang An asked Zhao Lu and Qian Shan to collect basic information on all servants and servants.
These two people are very familiar with the personnel structure of the Li family's mansion and can help.
The five engineering teams will exist in Feng'an City for a long time in the foreseeable three to five years.
People like Zhao Lu and Qian Shan will go back to Youzhou City in two months.
Therefore, what Huang An can use is actually the team of fifteen people he brought over from Xialin Village.
And during these two months, a number of people were searched from the city, joined the engineering team, and trained.
And this group of people will actually be the main force of the future engineering team.
For Zhang Rang and the five of them from Xialin Village, it is quite difficult to manage an engineering team of 3,000 people with their martial arts cultivation in the Six Fu realm.
Fortunately, Chao Mu and others have already assigned the operating mechanism of the engineering team and various detailed issues.
The difficulty of management has been directly reduced by at least three orders of magnitude.
Zhang asked them, warriors from Xialin Village, to work with the help of bronze-skin warriors in accordance with the procedures stipulated in the "Engineering Team Operation and Management Mechanism" document provided to him by Chao Mu.
By following the rules and being able to keep an eye on the overall situation, I can find problems at any time, and with the help of Chao Mu and his team, I can check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
Huang An still has some confidence that he can fully establish the five engineering teams.
And let them run safely, stably and healthily.
In front of a group of ten people, Huang An directly announced his decision to establish five engineering teams.
Everyone's blood was boiling with excitement when they heard this, and they were immediately quelled by the cake drawn by Huang An.
Each engineering team of 3,000 people has its own tasks.
The scale of this kind of management is too scary.
They even doubted for a time whether they could fulfill their eldest brother's request and take care of these three thousand people?
They have never taken care of so many people.
In fact, they had never heard of the engineering tasks described by their elder brother Huang An.
Moreover, they are warriors and soldiers.
Ask them to lead people to fight, and they still have some experience.
But if you take people to build roads, open fields, and dig canals, you won’t have any ideas even if you think about it!
A group of ten people, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that they were not good enough. Some people even had cold sweat on their foreheads.
Huang An saw that although everyone's faces were excited, their eyes revealed doubt and self-denial, and he immediately began to enlighten them.
"The five engineering teams were established based on the Li family's five farms outside the city."
Turning his eyes, Huang An took out the prepared documents and said with a smile:
"The composition of each team and the tasks of each team are recorded in this document! You can take a look at it later, as long as you follow the regulations in the document, it will be fine!"
"There are many vacant houses inside and outside the city, and there is enough food. You don't have to worry about food and accommodation at all!"
"..."
Huang An used the documents in hand and his own prestige to make the ten people in front of him accept the reality in just five minutes.
Moreover, I gained initial confidence in managing the engineering team well.
After all, the document records written by the eldest brother himself are too detailed.
With the map explanation, they suddenly felt that managing an engineering team of 3,000 people was not that difficult.
Just follow the records and procedures in the file without thinking.
In short, they will do whatever the elder brother says.
However, what they are concerned about now is, what positions can these ten people, five engineering teams, and ten people here get?
Who can decide?
How much money will they get after the event is completed?
Or can it be promoted in the position?
The most critical thing is that they have ten people present, but only five engineering teams.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is obvious that five captains must be selected from among them.
The remaining five will become auxiliary helpers.
Because they also discovered that the ten people present belonged to two parties.
On one side are officers from the Qianhu Division of the Martial Arts Department from Youzhou, and they are all Bronze Skin Realm warriors.
The other side is completely from the civilian forces - Xia Lin Village, they are all warriors in the Six Fu Realm.
There are five people on both sides, so there must be five people on one side who will become the auxiliary side.
Huang An naturally also understands the importance of the priority of rights in the team.
With a flash of his eyes, Huang An gave the order directly.
"The warriors from the Bronze Skin Realm will be the auxiliaries, and the warriors from Xialin Village will be the main ones, and they will manage five engineering teams respectively!"
"Divided into captains and deputy captains!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
Especially the eyes of the five bronze-skinned warriors widened in an instant.
They even suspected that they heard wrongly.
How can it be?
The five of you are actually auxiliary guards and deputy captains?
Incredible!
If Huang An hadn't been very kind to them and treated them with all his heart, otherwise they would have thrown up their sleeves and left now.
Where can someone be so bullying?
There was no expression of blaming Huang An on his face, but the confusion and anger in his heart were still there.
The remaining five of them, Zhang Jang, looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
There is a strict hierarchy among warriors.
How can they lead the warriors of the Bronze Skin Realm?
They are not well-connected people with strong abilities and strong backgrounds like their eldest brother.
Does Big Brother favor them too much?
Will this work?
Absolutely not if there is no proper reason.-
Neither party could accept the news for a while.
Fortunately, Huang An actually had a suitable reason.
His eyes slowly swept across the five bronze-skinned warriors, and he said loudly:
"I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be in a hurry yet."
He said nonsense, but just this nonsense made the faces of Zhao Lu, Qian Shan and other five Bronze Skin Realm warriors look much better.
The eldest brother is not like the previous superiors who only give them orders and don't care whether they accept them or not.
No matter how outrageous the order given by Big Brother, Big Brother will always take their feelings into consideration and explain it to them.
This kind of respect was shown to them through actions, and they were very touched and grateful.
"At the end of August, you will go back to Youzhou City. I will leave all the matters concerning the engineering team to you. Is that appropriate?"
Huang An asked back, and all of a sudden Zhao Lu and the other five froze.
Less than seven days after arriving in Feng'an City, they actually forgot that they were from the Firearms Department.
They are not from elder brother Huang An.
They are leaving.
In two months at most, they will have to go back to their original home.
Under such circumstances, can such a large-scale engineering team be entrusted to them?
Absolutely impossible.
In less than two months, the engineering team is expected to be officially on track.
These people are probably only fully adapted to the management of the engineering team.
Under such circumstances, if these captains left all at once, they would leave a lot of mess behind.
This is absolutely not possible.
The eldest brother cannot accept it, and other members of the engineering team may not be able to accept it either.
Large-scale changes in personnel require a relatively long adaptation process.
There is no doubt about this, and they naturally understand it.
Brother's reason is indeed impeccable.
Although the five of them have high cultivation, they are not suitable candidates for captain.
As the second in command of the auxiliary team, that is, the deputy captain, he is perfect.
But now the five people's thoughts suddenly shifted from the power of the engineering team to the matter that they will leave their eldest brother and go to Youzhou City in more than a month.
They actually already felt reluctant to give up.
For a moment, the five people's faces showed melancholy.
After working with Huang An, I realized that the army I brought with me in the past was simply not a place for humans.
How can you endure such days in the future?
At the same time, they even had the intention of retiring directly after returning to the army and following Huang An.
However, this is definitely not that easy to do.
After fighting hard in the army for twenty or thirty years, when I saw the time to reap the rewards, I gave up everything and chose a bright path again.
This kind of decision is not easy to make.
It's like a middle-aged man who, after graduating from college, has been working hard in a big city and building connections.
When he was about to buy a house and marry a wife, a person suddenly appeared and attracted him to go back to his hometown to develop.
This decision is indeed not easy to make and requires careful consideration.
Zhang Rang and Yang Hao also had expressions of surprise on their faces.
