Chapter 56 Neighborhood Watch and Housing

"All of you! Stand at attention!"

Chang Heng shouted loudly, and the militia troops under the scorching sun moved in unison with his slogan.

"They are all very energetic."

Zhongshan nodded happily. Although these militiamen were not as well-trained as the Vikar Musketeers, they were still able to see through it now.

He came to bring new news to Chang Heng.

"Yes, they are constantly training to compete for the guard spot."

Chang Heng pressed his hat and smiled as he looked at the row of militiamen who were doing standing training and were soaked in sweat by the sun.

They originally thought it would be very arduous physical training, and many of them were ready to win in the physical competition. Their understanding of the guard did not break away from the limitations of the times, and they thought it was about selecting strong territorial guards. They've heard it many times.

There was no show of force.

Changheng only asked them to do standing training, and there were no other requirements.

One station lasts for half a day. After an hour's break at noon, you will continue to train your stance. If you fall down due to difficulty, you will receive free treatment, but it also means that you have lost this opportunity to become a guard.

Those who cannot accept it can leave on their own and receive a fist-sized piece of meat.

He selected a total of 300 people for off-the-job training, 200 of whom were the original light crossbow militiamen, and 100 who were subsequently selected from other territorial citizens to sign up. Only 20 of these 300 people would stand out.

Under the scorching sun.

Get rid of the bad and keep the good.

"By the way, what is the lord planning to call the Guard? Or the Guard?"

Although Zhongshan and Changheng had begun to communicate, the militiamen lined up below had no intention of relaxing at all.

Not only because of the deterrent of Chang Heng's identity, but also because Chang Heng stood in front of them and stood with them, and he lasted longer than they did. You could see him waiting here early before gathering.

It stood there like a stone wall until sunset.

When someone in the team fell down, he would move and ask someone to carry the guy on his back to rest in the herbal medicine shop.

The lord attaches great importance to the selection of guards; he attaches great importance to this selection.

The initial personnel composition will have a significant impact on the overall structure.

Ji Lin is willing to bear the cost of up to 300 people training off-duty for a week.

Changheng showed the paper in his hand to Zhongshan, with six big characters written on it.

‘Neighborhood Watch’

"We discussed many options and finally chose this name."

Work together to keep the city in order.

"It's a good name." Chang Heng said.

"How many people are still training now? It has been three days since training started."

Zhongshan focused his attention on the rows of militiamen. When he noticed Zhongshan's gaze, they stood more upright and their bodies were as tense as strings.

"I don't know, but..." Chang Heng shouted loudly: "Everyone is here, count!"

"Yes! Sir!"

the militiamen shouted in unison, then turned to count.

"Five rows of eight people!"

"30 people in a row!"

"29 people in the second row!"

"Thirty people in three rows!"

"Thirty people in four rows!"

Changheng nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Zhongshan, and told him the result.

"127 people."

Three days of training directly eliminated more than half of the people.

There will be four days of training to select the final twenty people, and the remaining excluded people will be reorganized into the new militia team. Being able to persist here means that they are qualified. Expand the formal force to cope with the upcoming exercise battlefield.

"How do the lord plan to arrange the patrol mission? We can't let them continue to work in the residences." Chang Heng smiled: "The lord likes to convert the residences into other temporary buildings for makeshift use."

It's not Ji Lin's fault. The residential space is large enough, and the beds can also be used directly as a place to store supplies.

"According to the lord's intention, the watchtower is intended to be used by them. A team of five people will use one watchtower. Two watchtowers will be placed in each of the two areas. The 20 people will be evenly distributed to the two small towns. And the residential buildings , as a temporary resting place for them.”

The watchtowers have a large field of view and can be used to monitor all situations occurring in the territory in a timely manner. Guards are on duty on these eight-story watchtowers and conduct patrols according to the prescribed schedule.

Let the guard-neighborhood watch organization operate more efficiently.

The preliminary framework continues to evolve as they plan.

Capital said that the jump from commodity to currency is a thrilling one.

The formulation of policies is similar. From formulating and planning policies to implementing policies, it is also an extremely unstable jump.

If it falls, not only the product will be broken, but also the owner of the product.

"How's the private school? It's open, right?"

Zhongshan shook his head: "That's it, neither good nor bad. I have applied to the lord to build a paper mill. Without paper, I just rely on them to read the words written on the blackboard... The learning effect is very poor."

And pen and ink.

One hundred people crowded into a classroom to listen to the class, and the teacher loudly explained the content of the study from the top. They studied very seriously, but the amount of practice was too little. They could only use branches to write pictures on the ground after class to deepen the impression of their learning.

But they were all enthusiastic.

Seeing their enthusiasm, Zhongshan seemed to be in a good mood.

"What is Wu Bai doing? Isn't he with you?"

Chang Heng didn't seem to see Wu Bai, who had been working with Chong Shan.

"He adapted to the work of the territory very quickly. Today's task is to lead people to inspect the salt field and divert water to build salt fields."

"The planning of road paving is also handed over to him. In order to increase the speed of population and resource flow, two stone roads to various areas need to be built."

With dirt roads, you can use carts and trucks. This is the technology that Ji Lin just researched from the blacksmith shop. Although the blacksmith shop is not as versatile as the research station and the academy, it can also be used as a low-end research institution to carry out technology research and development and develop some simple technologies.

Research offensive and defensive technology and simple livelihood technology.

You can also build simple auxiliary machinery, such as carts and four-wheeled trucks. Of course, if you need to build heavy engineering machinery such as stone cannons and counterweight trebuchets, you need a siege weapon factory.

The territory is rapidly moving towards the technological level that should be in the imperial era.

The people of the territory don't just rely on their own strength. Simple tools such as carts are popularized.

In the rapid advancement of technology and improvement of people's livelihood, Ji Lin finally decided to invest resources to improve people's livelihood first.

If he directly bids for something as big as the Engineering College now, it will put great pressure on operations. The price of research and development technology is not low. Now a large amount of resources produced are stored. Of course, development cannot lag behind. He has his own planning plan.

[Primary Residence] is upgraded to [House]. This rare blueprint he just bought is more expensive than the house in the Empire Era, but it can accommodate ten people. Everyone has their own room, which is more comfortable. Moreover, each house has an independent bathroom, instead of using the crowded bathhouse.

Each house requires 20 stones and 60 wood, which is worth it. This is the experience brought by his rebirth. In the early days of his previous life, the lord did not know what to choose when faced with dazzling house blueprints. It took a long time to summarize multiple houses suitable for transition, without upgrading every era.

This is a serious waste.

Taking his current 1,800 people as an example, it would cost 3,600 units of stone and 10,080 wood to replace all the new houses.

These resources are the money of half an Engineering College.

1,800 people is not his population limit. When the population increases, resources will be consumed exponentially.

This is of course not a free gift. He intends to use these houses as a means to encourage the production of the people in his territory and recover some production capacity.

(Today, the number of people has reached the display score standard, only 6.8, I thought it would be 8 points. 6.8 points will have a huge impact on subsequent readings. I am afraid that the decline in various data will lead to the loss of direct recommendations... I am paralyzed. I directly updated this chapter. Once this 6.8 points is released, I estimate that the number of clicks today will plummet. Hey, now it is 9.2 points, let's come back to celebrate)

(I like the first book I wrote very much. Although there are many places where the writing style is not up to standard in the early stage, I don’t want it to score so low. I will insist that it is not just this low! At least, a little higher..)

(If the score is 7 points, add one more update, if the score is 8 points, add two more updates, and if the score is 9 points, add five more updates!)

(Of course, I will definitely pay it back slowly! I definitely can’t finish it in one day!)

(But I am very happy if someone reads it. Thank you for your support~)
