After everyone had made arrangements, Yang Song found that the food that Yang Zhong was shipped to recruit at the beginning had already been consumed. After some calculations, he found that the food transported was far from enough to recruit so many people.

Where did the people come from?

He already had a rough guess about this question.

Then Yang Song walked into the mysterious refugee camp tent and opened the door curtain. When he walked in, he found that there was nothing inside. This disappointed him. He thought there was some complicated machine or mysterious pattern inside.

Returning to the mansion, he looked at the statistics submitted by Yang Zhong, counting the number of people recruited this time, as well as the various talents that appeared among these people.

This time, more than a thousand people were recruited, covering more than 300 households, and nearly 200 people with various talents. Judging from this ratio, there are a lot more talents.

Logically speaking, out of a thousand people, it would be good if more than ten people could read and write. Even if various crafts and craftsmen were included, it would be a normal ratio to have forty or fifty people.

You must know that in ancient China, the largest number of farmers were farmers, who accounted for about 90% of the population in society. The remaining layer or so were other walks of life.

Yang Song thought in a blink of an eye, never mind it, after all, this is a good thing, so there is no need to worry too much about this good thing.

I have been busy all day to expand the population this time, and I have been working on it all this time. Now that I am free, I find that the population of the territory has reached more than 5,000, and the development of the territory has taken another step forward.

Although this step is small, he believes that with step by step development, the territory will become stronger and more prosperous.

After a simple calculation, the territory can now recruit a thousand people every quarter, but with development, it will definitely become an uninterrupted recruitment every day and every moment. Only then can the territory be considered to have developed to a small extent.

.

With the addition of new people, new construction has begun in the territory, because there are not many residential buildings left as rewarded by the system. Fortunately, there are still a lot of open spaces in Apocalypse City.

There is no open space in the east of Apocalypse City, so the construction of a new residential area began in the south of Apocalypse City, and residential buildings began to be built according to the building specifications and models in the east of the city.

Two more residential areas are planned to the west of the market area in the south of the city. After the construction is completed, there will be 800 residential buildings. This is also the last residential area in Tianqi City. In the future, it will only be expanded outside the city.

It is not that there is no open space in the city. The open space in the west of the city is reserved for building various functional buildings and workshops.

To the east of the main longitudinal road in the west of the city, next to the lord's mansion, are various government buildings, which are lined up along the road, such as courts, town offices, patrol houses, etc.

On the west side of the avenue, there is a horizontal main road leading to the west gate of the city. To the north is the primary arsenal, and to the south of the main road are various newly built workshops.

Because of the various talents, the arsenal has begun to operate. Although it is not at full power and is only in preliminary operation, it is at least the first factory in the territory to start operation.

The arsenal is now responsible for providing the military with the maintenance of weapons and equipment and the trial production of a small amount of cold weapons. Because it adopts the standardized production method of the assembly line, even in the case of trial production, the output is still many times faster than that of a workshop.

The most important task of the arsenal at this stage is to develop new weapons and equipment, especially firearms.

Therefore, Yang Song ordered the arsenal to be responsible for the production of weapons and equipment, while workshops such as the blacksmith shop were only responsible for the production of civilian tools such as hoes and axes, thus separating the military from civilians.

And not long ago, good news came from those who were out for exploration. An iron ore vein was discovered in the mountainous area north of Tianqi City. The specific distribution and reserves are not yet clear, and it is still being explored.

Now that the raw materials for steel are available, Yang Song plans to build a small village nearby to be responsible for mining and smelting. But this will have to wait until the people are recruited next quarter.

This iron mine is about ten kilometers away from Tianqi City and is on the edge of a mountainous area, making it easy to mine and transport.

According to the exploration personnel, judging from the topography, it is estimated that there are various minerals in the mountainous areas.

To the west, a lumberyard has been established on the edge of the forest. More than a hundred people are cutting down trees here, because it is not far from Apocalypse City, only five miles away, and it only takes an hour to walk there.

Therefore, we have been collecting wood since we discovered this forest. Now, a steady stream of wood arrives at Tianqi City every day, providing abundant materials for the construction of Tianqi City.

The construction of Tianqi City not only used a lot of wood, but the second material used was bricks and tiles. For this reason, Yang Song built a row of kilns near the river outside the northwest of the city.

These kilns can not only provide bricks and tiles, but also ceramics. There is a rich clay not far from the river, which is one of the reasons why he built the kiln in this location.

Being built at this location is not only convenient for water and sewage disposal, but also close to the location of raw materials. To the southwest of the kiln is the lumberyard, which can provide charcoal nearby.

Another task of the kiln is to burn high-quality charcoal, which can not only be used to bake bricks and ceramics, but also provide convenient fuel for the residents of the territory.

There is a reason why fuel ranks first among firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.

The first ray of civilization began when humans controlled fire!

When it comes to food, rice, oil and salt, we have to say that Yang Zhong's work provided a lot of help to Yang Song.

As a person who traveled through time, Yang Song has thought about all aspects as much as possible. For example, the housing issue was a universal problem in his previous era, so he can consider it.

And some things that are very common but necessary in life are often not considered carefully by him.

Yang Zhong came to the mansion one day and said: "My lord, my subordinates learned that the people were unable to work during this period, so they went to investigate the reason."

"Oh, there's this thing, what's the reason?"

"My lord, my subordinates have found out that it is caused by the lack of salt among the people in the territory. Although the food for the people in the territory is distributed uniformly, these daily necessities are not distributed because there is not much salt in the entire territory."

"It turned out to be caused by a lack of salt. Then build a salt drying field on the beach as soon as possible and restore the health of the people in the territory as soon as possible. You don't need to ask for instructions on things like this in the future, just go and do it directly."

"I obey, I will go and do it now." Yang Zhong left without saying a word to do the work. He was very busy now!

Yang Zhong reminded him that the weakness of the people in his territory was caused by the lack of salt, and then he realized that this inconspicuous white powder existed in life.

He also knew the importance of salt to the human body, but he just couldn't remember so much.

The salty taste of table salt is produced by sodium ions, but the role of table salt on the human body is not just seasoning, but also maintaining the balance of the body's osmotic pressure and other physiological needs.

So it was arranged for Yang Zhong to let people from Haijun Village build a salt drying field on the beach. Yang Zhong made the specific site selection and personnel arrangements.

After all, he knew that he couldn't do everything in this territory, so he established a simple administrative system.

Yang Song is not good at anything else, but he still knows how to establish an effective administrative system. After all, he was also a moderate official in the past.

He also knows that in the early stage of the territory, he can still manage some specific things, but when the territory becomes larger in the future, he will not be able to manage it. At that time, all he has to do is to know people and make good use of them and formulate big strategic directions, that is,

Appoint officials to appropriate positions and formulate strategies and control macro aspects.

After letting his subordinates do these little things, he found that he became much more relaxed and could go to the military camp to continue exercising.

Because of the development of the territory during this period, he has also become busy, so that he has no energy to exercise his body. Although he is not required to lead the army into battle, he cannot still ride a carriage on the battlefield.

Although it is not impossible to ride in a carriage, it is very dangerous. The enemy will know that there is an important person at a glance, and they will not attack him hard. If he is not careful, a cold arrow can kill him.

He doesn't want to just die of exhaustion. Having a good body is not a bad thing.

Not only that, but going to the military camp to live with the soldiers can also improve his reputation in the military camp.

All these factors prompted him to spend a certain amount of time going to the military camp.

----------

On this day, Yang Song wandered to the school not far from the east side of the mansion. Looking at the children learning in the school, he felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

Rows of young children are sitting neatly in the school, and they are learning the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 from the young teacher! The teacher’s name is Tang Yu, and the teacher in another classroom is teaching the "Three Character Classic". This middle-aged

The teacher’s name is Han Yu.

Because Yang Song valued education very much, he established a special education department, headed by Han Yu, the teacher who taught the "Three Character Classic".

Since this department does not have many affairs at this stage, Han Yu's current task is still to be a teacher.

The education department is responsible for the construction and administration of each school in the territory, the certification of teachers' qualifications, the purchase of educational equipment, the management of school meals, and the most important compilation of teaching materials.

After a class was over, he went to the backyard and sat on a stone bench opposite Han Yu. He said to Yang Li, who was following behind him and was in charge of publicity, "Sit down too."

After Yang Song waited for Yang Li to return the gift, he said: "I saw that the school's textbooks are very good, and Mr. Hardworking has compiled them. This is very important. For enlightenment, you can use simple and general works such as "The Three Character Classic", and also teach mathematics.

Later higher education institutions will also teach agriculture, engineering and other practical subjects."

"Don't just teach the classics of sages, but also teach science. If you have been to the library, you should also know the importance of each subject. The ocean of knowledge is too vast." Yang Song recalled the knowledge he knew before and was very emotional!

He said this because he was afraid that these masters would only recognize the outspoken words of sages and despise other science and engineering knowledge. Looking at ancient China, this is very possible!

"Yes, lord, other teachers and I will handle it carefully." Han Yu said solemnly.

Yang Song said to Yang Li: "Compile this information about the school and publish it. It must be publicized well. Some people don't want their children to come to study. You have to unite with the teachers and the mayor and ask them to cooperate with you if they don't want to."

Reading parents explain and persuade.”

"Yes, lord, my subordinates must publicize it well so that all children can come to school." Yang Li replied.

"You can recruit some talents, smart and eloquent, regardless of gender, and you can use storytelling and performances to promote it." Yang Song reminded.

"If the words are too official, people will not understand them. It will be inappropriate if it causes misunderstanding."

When he said this, he seemed to have remembered something, and then said to Yang Li: "The most important thing about propaganda is to let the people understand it. Only when people understand it can it be considered a successful propaganda. If you don't understand anything, you can go to the library and have a look."

, there should be books on this in it.”

"Yes, my lord, I obey your orders."

With Yang Li responsible for the publicity, the execution of government orders and the transmission of information will be more convenient and faster. This will avoid the troublesome things like deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates that have not yet occurred!

The next day, he and Yang Li came to the military port. There were warships parked in the military port. Yang Song came here after hearing reports that the naval warships had returned from exploring the surrounding area.

Find Li Bao who is being repaired in the military camp at the military port and listen to his report.

The result is that there are no other gains except for some small islands in the surrounding waters, which makes him a little disappointed and relieved at the same time.
