Chapter 15 The Apprentice

As Ouyang Shuo and his party passed through the entrance of the village, the villagers looked at the piglets in the cage curiously.

These little piglets are only half a month old, their hair is brown and yellow, and there are black stripes on their backs, which are very cute. When he was on the road, he checked the attributes of these piglets.

[mutated little wild boar cub]: The pups born by the wild boar king and the mutated female wild boar are highly adaptable, have delicious meat, and have a growth cycle of three months.

Before returning, Zhao Dewang had arranged for someone to build the pigpen. The pigpen was built at the back of the canteen, which was convenient for feeding.

The pigpen is divided into a liwo room and an outer room. The liwo room is a place for wild boars to eat and sleep. It is 3.5 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. The outer room is a place for sports, sunbathing and drinking water. A drinking water tank is equipped with a 1.5 times the area of ​​the liwo type. Most of the inner and outer room are paved with hay, which can easily keep the pen dry and clean.

When Ouyang Shuo led the militia to the pigpen with the pig cage, Cui Yingyou and Zhao Dewang were already waiting there early. Behind them, there was a middle-aged man in his thirties with an honest and restrained look. Jingyingyou introduced that the man was named Zhu Baocai, and he was a famous pig raising expert in his original village. This time he was selected by Cui Yingyou and was responsible for the domestication of wild boars.

Ouyang Shuo still trusts Yingyu's vision very much. He directly handed over the "Technical Manual for Wild Boar Taming" to Zhu Baocai and said warmly: "Master Zhu, I will give you the errand of wild boar taming. I hope you will have to worry about cultivating excellent wild boar breeds for the territory. Wild boar breeding is a core industry of the territory. At the right time, we must expand the breeding scale and establish a wild boar breeding farm. I hope that the first farm manager of the farm can be served by Master Zhu."

Seeing that the Lord was so easy-going, Zhu Bao was no longer as reserved as before. When talking about his best pig farming skills, he seemed more confident and said solemnly: "Please rest assured. If you don't talk about anything else, I still have some experience in pig farming skills. Looking at these little pigs, they all grow so strong and healthy, they are obviously excellent breeds, so I feel more confident."

After explaining the pig farming matters and saying hello to Yingyou, Ouyang Shuo went straight back to his office. As soon as he sat down, Gu Xiuwen walked in. Ouyang Shuo asked him to sit down and signaled him what was wrong.

Gu Xiuwen simply said: "Sir, today I have worked with the supervisors of the Third Department to formulate the allocation of five types of agricultural, industrial, fishery and animal husbandry personnel. Please review it by me."

"Oh? It's quite efficient! Tell me, how do you allocate it?"

"Of the 130 farmers in the territory, 39 were assigned to the farmland, led by the Agricultural Reclamation Department, responsible for the reclaiming of farmland. The workers and households kept the original 40 unchanged and were assigned to the management of the Material Reserve Department. The fishermen were assigned to 25 people. After there were enough fishing boats tomorrow, they began to go out to sea to fish, and they were also assigned to the management of the Material Reserve Department. There were only 2 herds at the moment, responsible for wild boar breeding. The craftsmen were assigned to 24 people. The main work at this stage is to build the salt field under the leadership of General Zaoshi, the general in charge of the Yantian Department."

Ouyang Shuo pondered for a moment, then asked: "Do you know what the construction progress of the fishing boat is like in the shipyard?"

"According to my understanding, building an ordinary fishing boat requires 50 units of wood, and each fishing boat can carry two fishermen to sea to fish. According to the current scale of the shipyard, one such fishing boat can be built in a day. The first fishing boat built today was requisitioned by General Shi to transport personnel and materials for building salt fields." Gu Xiuwen was obviously well prepared. As the clerk of the territory, understanding the latest progress in all walks of life in the territory is one of his basic tasks.

"Yes, we will follow this allocation plan. In addition, among the refugees who will be released from tomorrow, except for special talents, all will be allocated to the Yantian Department. At the same time, a separate salt household is set up in addition to the five types of personnel. Household registration information and military registration are equally important and must be highly confidential. Military control must be implemented for the Yantian Department. After this matter is over, I will explain it clearly with General Shi."

"In addition, please inform Xiuwen. Starting tomorrow, the discussion will be changed to once a week. The participants in the discussion must also be fixed. In principle, only the heads of each department can participate in the discussion. If you really need it, you can bring one or two deputy officers to the meeting. If you have any questions, just report to me."

Gu Xiuwen nodded and saw that the adults had nothing to explain, so he tactfully stepped down.

The next morning, Ouyang Shuo called Shi Wansui, who was about to go out, and asked about the progress of Yantian construction.

Although Shi Wansui is a military general, he is familiar with military books and is familiar with the text and literacy. He is still in a field that he is not familiar with, and he still has a clear idea. He said without any ambiguity: "Report to the lord! I studied the "Technical Manual for Salt Drying by the Sea" yesterday and had some experience in salt making. According to the "Manual" records, an average of two acres of salt fields requires a salt worker, and an average of 500 units of salt per mu of salt can be produced per mu of salt per month. Because of the limited manpower, I will recommend that the first phase be built 100 acres of salt fields be built. In addition, according to the rough estimate of the I-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-

Ouyang Shuo calculated in his mind that a unit of salt on the market sold 20 copper coins. In other words, a unit of salt fields can generate 1 gold coins in one month, which is still quite considerable. Unfortunately, the production cycle of sea salt is as long as one month. To obtain the first profit, you can't count on the construction period of the second-level village.

Ouyang Shuo knew that the upper limit of the second-level villages was 500, an increase of 300 people. According to the speed of refugees in the territory, the population could be full in 20 days. In this way, the construction funds for the second-level villages were still not settled, and it seems that there is still a need to find a way from other aspects.

Shi Wansui stood aside and watched her lord staring blankly. Her face was happy and entangled. The monk was confused.

Ouyang Shuo reacted and asked: "When will the first phase of the 100-acre salt field be completed? You don't have to worry about the manpower. I explained it to Xiuwen yesterday."

Shi Wansui's expression relaxed, "According to the current progress, we can complete it tomorrow afternoon."

"Very good, I'll wait for your good news. Go and do it!"

Saying Shi Long Sui, Ouyang Shuo started today's work. Suddenly, another system announcement rang out.

"System announcement: Congratulations to player Chunshenjun for becoming the second lord in China to upgrade to a second-level village, and rewarding merit value of 1,000 points!"

"System announcement: Congratulations to player Chunshenjun for becoming the second lord in China to upgrade to a second-level village, and rewarding merit value of 1,000 points!"

"System announcement: Congratulations to player Chunshenjun for becoming the second lord in China to upgrade to a second-level village, and rewarding merit value of 1,000 points!"

Tianhe Consortium indeed has strong financial resources. Chunshenjun became the second lord in China to be upgraded to a second-level village.

No longer sighing, Ouyang Shuo knew that the most important thing he was to do at hand now. Today he planned to do nothing else and do one thing. That was to visit all the skilled talents in the territory one by one and encourage them to recruit apprentices.

Among these skilled talents, senior shipbuilder Zheng Dahai has recruited 4 apprentices and does not need to visit. Junior carpenter Zhao Youfang and junior stonemason Zheng Shan Cannon have both been placed in the civil service sequence and are no longer suitable for recruiting apprentices.

You'er recruited two young businessman apprentices, one man and one woman. The male apprentice was Qian Lifei, who was originally a concubine of the landlord's family. After the village was looted by bandits, he fell into Shanhai Village. The female apprentice was named Du Xiaolan, who was originally the young girl of the small businessman's family. You'er was sick with her and specially brought her by her side and taught her carefully. Both of them were temporarily arranged by You'er in the Material Reserve Department to act as her assistant.

The first person Ouyang Shuo visited was Dr. Song, who lived in the courtyard. As the first senior skilled talent in Shanhai Village, he has not yet recruited an apprentice, which makes him a little dissatisfied. He thought to himself that he would provide him with delicious food and drink, and let him live in the lord's mansion, which is a symbol of territory power. You old man, you have nothing to do except go out occasionally to pick herbs and prepare some golden sore medicine.

When Ouyang Shuo came in, Doctor Song was reading the medical books in the room, leisurely. When he saw him in, he said lightly: "I don't know if I am coming, I am not welcome. I don't know why I am coming to see me."

Seeing Doctor Song's attitude, Ouyang Shuo felt even more uncomfortable. But now he has something to ask for, so he had to say patiently: "The territory has been busy recently, and I have neglected the old man. Please don't blame me!"

A touch flashed across Doctor Song's face and said, "My words are so serious. I am just a idle savage, and there is nothing wrong with staying alone. As the head of a village, I naturally put government affairs first."

Hey, Ouyang Shuo understood it now and found the crux of the problem. This old man seemed to be far less indifferent to fame and fortune than he showed, and his vigor and calmness were obvious. The few polite words he said were obviously to listen to them the other way around.

The meaning is also very obvious. Living in the same courtyard, the others have found a single official and half-time job, and I am alone. When I first came, you, the lord, respected me very much and cared for me. Now with other helpers, I don’t take me seriously. For so many days, I don’t even say hello. Even Cui Yingyou, the girl, was so busy that she didn’t have time to see me. Old man, I became a transparent person, not even as good as a child, so how could I not be angry?

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! This old man looks so fame and fortune, but he is so fame and fortune. Hey, it's good, just have **. I'm afraid you're really calm and don't know where to start.

So Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said casually: "In the near future, the territory will set up a special medical institution called the Imperial Hospital, which is fully responsible for the medical affairs of the territory. In order to establish the Imperial Hospital as soon as possible, there must be enough doctors. The old man is an idle cloud and wild heir, so he should not have been nagging. However, the territory has few talents and no one will share my worries!"

Doctor Song was indeed moved and said in a deep voice: "Sir, don't do this. I should share my worries with you thanks to your care. Although I don't have great talents, I can still teach three or four apprentices."

Ouyang Shuo laughed, "Okay, if the old man comes out of the mountain, I will be free of worries."

After dealing with Old Man Song, it will be much easier to have other skilled talents. For the junior blacksmith Li Tiezhu and the junior chef Li, Ouyang Shuo promised to arrange a separate courtyard for them at the right time. The couple happily agreed to recruit two apprentices each.

The peddler Li Fugui had already recruited an apprentice yesterday, so he didn't have to do it. The intermediate carpenter Lu Guangzhi, who just arrived today, promised to build a woodworking workshop for him, and handed him the "Compass Technology Manufacturing Manual" purchased on the market to him for research, and immediately agreed to recruit two apprentices.
