After a brief visit, everyone returned to the meeting hall. Shanhai Village has just been upgraded to a second-level village. Everyone knows what to arrange next.

After everyone sat down, Ouyang Shuo went straight to the topic and said, "With everyone's joint efforts, Shanhai Village has successfully upgraded to a second-level village, and it is the sixth place in China to complete the upgrade. The achievement of this achievement is the result of all the hard work of all the villagers, the result of the well-managed management of everyone here, and it is worth celebrating. Therefore, I decided to hold a grand bonfire party tonight to celebrate. Yingyou will be responsible for the preparation of the party."

Cui Yingyou nodded with a smile, "Brother, don't worry. My sister will definitely hold this bonfire party lively. Haha, speaking of it, this is the first time that our territory has held such an event. At that time, brother, you have to perform a program in person to help you liven up."

As soon as Yingyou finished speaking, Shi Wansui took the lead in making exclamation and cheered. Even Zhao Dexian, a man who was usually very steady, looked teasing and followed suit.

Ouyang Shuo smiled bitterly, "You'er, you're holding my army. But your idea is still very good, I firmly support it. I think it's better to have fun than to have fun alone. Everyone here must prepare at least one program, so that it's lively." Hehe, ask you to make a fuss. If you don't drag you all into the water, how can you be worthy of the lord's name?

Cui Yingyou covered her mouth and chuckled. She performed a show, which was naturally stressless for her. Others' faces became a little ugly and looked depressed. This was called shooting themselves in the foot.

After appreciating Shi Wansui's face that suddenly turned from excitement to bitter melon, Ouyang Shuo continued: "Back to the topic, after the territory is upgraded, there are many things to do. Here, I will make a general arrangement first. If you have any opinions or suggestions, you can put forward them later."

"First of all, it is the work arrangement for the Construction Department. Although private schools, clinics and other buildings cannot be built for the time being because there are no architectural drawings. However, the construction department's task is still very heavy at this stage. It is necessary to build the primary mining farm and the simple arrow tower that do not require architectural drawings as soon as possible. The location of the mining farm is selected and communicated with the Material Reserve Department. Two simple arrow towers should be built, which are on both sides of the village entrance. In addition, the 15 residential courtyards in the second phase should be built as soon as possible. The most important thing is to cooperate with the Yantian Department to carry out the infrastructure construction of the second phase of Beimu Salt Field."

"Bei Mu Salt Field is the only industry in the territory and an important source of funds for the territory in the future. I decided to open another 400 acres in the second phase, with a total scale of 500 acres. This requires a large amount of labor, and the household registration office must actively cooperate. At this stage, the release of refugees will be given priority to the salt field, and the total number of salt workers must reach 250 to maintain the saturation of the salt field."

"At the Material Reserve Department, the number of people in the quarry and logging farm remains unchanged. After the primary mining farm is built, 20 people will be arranged. The fishermen will gradually increase to 30 people. The militia will be directly expanded to 50 people this time. A formal establishment will be formed, with ten people as one fire, and a fire chief; five fires form a team and a team will be established. The remaining labor force will be arranged to the Agricultural Reclamation Department. The Agricultural Reclamation Department will continue to reclaim farmland and finally reach a scale of 2,000 acres. According to the above arrangement, the household registration office must do a good job in personnel diversion and the processing of corresponding household registration certificates. The above is the arrangements for the recent work. If you have any questions, you can raise it now."

While digesting the information revealed from Ouyang Shuo, all the officials put forward opinions or suggestions on the areas they are responsible for.

Shi Wansui stood up first, "Lord, there is something to say at the end. If the militia team expands to 50 people, five fire chiefs will be appointed. How to determine the candidate?"

Ouyang Shuo smiled, "You recommend the Fire Chief personnel and submit them to me for approval. Try to give priority to the promotion from current veterans, but don't promote them unconditionally in order to take care of the emotions of the veterans. Everything is based on the premise of being talented. In addition, the two small team leaders, Zhang Daniu and Sangouzi, can be directly promoted to the Fire Chief. The militia team leader will naturally be the general yourself. Now, Beimu Salt Field has been on the right track, and the general can get out and concentrate on the training of the militia. As for the safety guarding of the salt field, Zhang Daniu and Sangouzi each will take turns to guard the fire militia."

Shi Wansui grinned. He was obviously very happy that he could no longer be stationed in the salt field. However, he was not the kind of brave and unscrupulous reckless man. He had already heard a strange thing from Ouyang Shuo's words. He asked directly: "What is the deep meaning of the lord's expansion of the militia this time?"

Ouyang Shuo nodded in praise, "Yes. This time the expansion of the militia is to deal with various new security challenges. As the territory is upgraded, its sphere of influence is 2.5 times the original. The newly added territory requires the militia to thoroughly sweep it to eliminate security risks. More importantly, it is expected that there will be a wild beast riot in half a month. At that time, the territory will be attacked by a large number of wild beasts. Therefore, during this period, the general will not only train the militia as soon as possible. After it comes down, he will also formulate a detailed combat plan to defend against wild beasts attacking the village and report it to me for review."

Shi Wansui's face turned solemn, "Yes, I guarantee to complete the task!"

Then, Yingyou stood up, "Brother, I have different opinions on the arrangement of the number of fishermen. We now have only four fishing boats, each fishing boat can only ride in two. The shipyard can only build one fishing boat every day. Therefore, it will take at least 11 days to allow 30 fishers to go out to sea to fish. As far as I know, a fisherman can harvest 50 units of fish on average a day. There are so many fish that I can't finish it. I wonder what the purpose of my brother's arrangement is?"

Ouyang Shuo understood Yingyou's idea, and he should know that fish cannot be used as a staple food and is not easy to store for a long time, so it cannot replace the function of food. He has his own plans for this.

"What Yuer said is naturally true. But have you ever thought that if you marinate the fish with salt and then dry them into dried fish. Dried fish is not a living thing, and it is easy to store, and can be sold through the market. On average, two units of live fish can be dried into one unit of dried fish. A unit of salt can be cured 50 units of live fish. After deducting the cost of salt, a fisherman's harvest in a day can create a profit of 355 copper for the territory. Before the first batch of salt in the Beimu Salt Field was produced, the construction funds for the territory could be entirely relied on going to sea to fish. As for fishermen who do not have fishing boats yet, they can just arrange for them to pickle live fish."

Cui Yingyou then realized Ouyang Shuo’s entire abacus, and couldn’t help but admire him and said sincerely: “Brother thoughtfully, Yuer is not far away!”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "You'er doesn't have to belittle yourself. I've been worrying about the funds for territorial construction recently. I thought about it for a long time before I came up with such a way."

Of course, this was not a temporary solution that Ouyang Shuo thought of. So, it was just to comfort her. As the lord who set up his territory on the beach, if he could not make full use of marine resources, it would be a waste of such geographical advantages.

He came up with salt drying in seawater and pickling wax fish, one of the ways to accumulate original capital in the early stage. For this reason, he spent a lot of money to buy the "Seawater Salt Drying Technical Manual" and the three special architectural drawings when the funds were tight in the early stage.

This is the advantage of rebirth. When representatives of those major forces are still struggling to acquire game coins through heavy money, they have developed a complete industry and continuously provide construction funds for the territory. Such an advantage will become more obvious the later.

His current industry is just starting out, and the profits generated are limited, but they are full of potential. Once the scale is expanded, the profits generated will naturally double.

The powerful lords in their previous lives have long reached a consensus that if they want their territory to develop for a long time, they must establish their own industries. After all, it is only less than a year to acquire game coins with credit points.

Finally, Zhao Dexian stood up and said, "Sir, I have a question. Just now, the adults arranged for the Agricultural Reclamation Department to reclaim another 1,500 acres of farmland, so there is no problem. The question is, what crops should be planted for these 2,000 acres of farmland, can adults make arrangements?"

Ouyang Shuo decided to take the exam and asked back, "Director Zhao, I ask you, based on the climatic conditions of the Lianzhou Basin, which crop do you think is more appropriate to plant?"

Zhao Dexian was a farmer and had been dealing with farmland all his life. He was still very clear about the sowing time of various crops. He said tentatively: "This season, winter has not passed and spring has not arrived, so it is not suitable for planting any crops."

Ouyang Shuo smiled mysteriously and said, "You are right. However, with the climatic conditions like the Lianzhou Basin, there is a crop that can be planted in winter, that is potatoes. Although the best planting season in November has been missed, due to the influence of the sea monsoon, the conditions for planting potatoes are still available. If you start planting now, you can harvest it in April and May at the latest, and completely solve the problem of food shortage in the territory."

Zhao Dexian was slightly stunned and said in shame: "I am ashamed of myself, I didn't expect such a crop." In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed. After all, Zhaojiagou has always been hidden in a paradise and potatoes are rarely planted in the village, so he didn't expect it for a while.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "So, all potatoes must be planted in these two thousand acres of farmland. And the speed should be fast, try to complete the sowing before the end of the month. As for the sprouts, I will buy them from the market."

After answering Zhao Dexian's questions, everyone else said there was no doubt, and Ouyang Shuo announced the end of the meeting. After everyone dispersed, he prepared to go to the primary market to make some purchases.

Ouyang Shuo had only 10 gold coins left in his hand, and he had to reserve 4 gold coins for the militia to transfer his posts. Only 6 gold coins could be used.

He first spent 1 gold coin to purchase enough potato sprouts to plant 3,000 acres. Three thousand acres are the largest planting area for first-class potatoes in Ouyang Shuo’s planned villages.

Then, I spent another 1 gold coin to buy 500 units of salt. These salts were enough for early use. Later, Beimu Salt Field could produce salt by itself.

For the remaining 4 gold coins, he simply purchased 4,000 units of grain. Adding the remaining 3,100 units of grain and the fish caught by fishermen as a supplement, it is enough to support the territory to upgrade to a third-level village.
Chapter completed!
