Throne of Vientiane Civilization

"Stone, the personnel I dispatched should be in place, right?"

Zhou Xu always likes to do things seamlessly.

It's not that he likes to do the second thing without stopping, he will also take the rest buffer time into consideration, so as to maximize the efficiency of the whole.

Therefore, as early as when they were preparing to leave, he had already let the courier go ahead with the news, and arranged for the personnel transfer.

Calculating the time, by the time they arrived at Salt Lake Village, all the personnel should have been in place.

And it is true.

"Yes, the personnel are already in place. According to your wishes, a special area has been arranged and used as a weaving factory."

"Go, go and see!"

Li Shitou had been with Zhou Xu for so long before, of course Li Shitou knew the temperament of their leader.

So when he went out to meet Zhou Xu, he had already issued an order to gather people.

"There are ten people in total. At present, all departments are busy, and it is difficult to find suitable people."

Seeing the ten weaving factory workers lined up, Zhou Xu explained a little.

"It should be enough."

Wang Dong nodded without thinking too much.

In the matter of weaving linen, if you say fewer people, one person can actually do it, and if you say more, a hundred people can do it. To put it bluntly, it is the difference between high and low efficiency.

After a brief conversation, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on those ten people.

"Listen up! This is Wang Dong, Mr. Wang! From now on, he will be the director of the weaving factory. The next new job will be guided by Mr. Wang. The ten of you will start from now on. From now on, I will listen to Teacher Wang's arrangement, do you understand?!"

"clear!"

After a brief speech, Zhou Xu turned his head to look at Wang Dong, who was still a little uncomfortable, and gave him an encouraging look.

"Then, I will leave the rest of the matter to Mr. Wang. If you need anything or have any questions, you can go to Li Shitou directly. He is the village head of Salt Lake Village. He will help you solve things. Come to me."

Having said that, Zhou Xu paused.

"Oh, by the way, when Mr. Wang is free, you can teach him to read and write."

At this moment, Li Shitou obviously didn't know what this so-called 'literacy' was, but when their leader was talking, he nodded with a smile to be sure.

"I will ask Mr. Wang to take care of me in the future."

Seeing this, Wang Dong hurriedly said...

"Village Chief, you are too polite."

Wang Dong has made arrangements, and there will be nothing else for him here, and Zhou Xu didn't plan to stay in Salt Lake Village any longer. After resting for a while, he just rode his horse and galloped all the way before dark. Back to Black Moon Village.

It should be more than an hour before sunset, and all departments are still busy with work.

In their place, it is not fun to start paddling as soon as you get off work.

Here in Heiyue Village, what is different from the past is that there are several large stone mills in the working area of ​​the Ministry of Agriculture, and a cow is pulling the stone mills around at the moment.

The stone mill is grinding potatoes at this time, and after they are finely ground here, they are then dried into powder, which is convenient for them to store for a long time.

Just like flour, when needed, pour some potato flour and add some water, stir and stir, and it can be eaten after a simple processing.

Needless to say, this is preparing for winter.

Besides that, cured meats, fish and pickled vegetables are also being made.

At present, these winter foods are very popular in the market, and they are selling well. Every time they are put on the shelves, they will be sold out.

After all, unlike Grassland Village, where the word "village" is actually a "military stronghold", the food supplies in Grassland Village are all managed and distributed in a unified manner.

As for Heiyue Village, since the promotion of the trade policy, people are going door-to-door in winter, and they all start to stockpile food for the winter.

For Zhou Xu, the biggest advantage is that the risk is greatly shared.

Like Grassland Village, all the food is stored in the granary. In winter, if there is an accident in the granary, they will suffer heavy losses, and everyone in the village will be affected!

On the other hand, in Heiyue Village, each household hoarded their own food, and all accidents happened. Unless the village was wiped out, it was unlikely.

Under this premise, if a few families are in trouble, as long as the whole village's food is mobilized a little, it can be easily relieved.

In addition, you can also buy or borrow grain from the granary in the village. There are many ways.

With the previous experience, Zhou Xu's preparations for the new year are undoubtedly more adequate!

After confirming the situation in Heiyue Village, Zhou Xu will undoubtedly have to make another trip to Grassland Village.

Rest here for one night at Black Moon Village first, then set off immediately after breakfast the next morning, and arrive before noon.

Last winter, there was a blizzard on the grassland, and the grassland village was the most affected. The construction work of the previous year was basically in vain, which can be said to have greatly increased the work pressure of the engineering team this year.

Now that another winter is coming, out of caution, Zhou Xu naturally wants to check in person how the preparations are going.

If you find any deficiencies, you should make up for it while there is still time.

"Ye Jinghong, see the leader!"

"Free gift!"

Zhou Xu got off his horse, and after a brief chat with Ye Jinghong outside the village, he followed him into the village.

Not surprisingly, at this point in time, Li Ce was leading the cavalry to sweep the grassland. On the one hand, he was conducting daily cavalry training, and on the other hand, he was looking for wild horses on the grassland.

Now in Grassland Village, in addition to ten rattan armored soldiers, there are also twenty regular soldiers who have completed training stationed here, all of which are to guard against the long-eared neighbors that Drogo mentioned before.

But what remains unchanged is that their horses here are still completely insufficient.

This made Zhou Xu miss Drogo very much, and their centaur clan was really good at catching wild horses.

The wild horses are so vigilant, sometimes they are spotted before they get close, and then they start to run away crazily.

Once in this situation, they can only bite the bullet and chase.

Their war horses are equipped with a full set of harness, and there is a cavalry on their backs, and the load is placed there.

Although the breeders raised him to be fat and strong, with long-term training and well-developed muscles, it is still difficult to catch up.

In addition, they have little experience in catching wild horses, which is completely different from catching bison.

Although wild horse herds were discovered twice successively, few horses were caught.

At this moment, the number of war horses in Grassland Village is only twenty-three, and there is no room for selection.
