Therefore, it has become a consensus among everyone that we need to absorb more manpower and expand our own strength as soon as possible. However, there are still big differences on the specific issue of how to absorb local people.

The idea of ​​recruiting soldiers directly from the locals was the first to be rejected, although there were quite a few people clamoring for recruitment at the beginning, saying that Lingao County had a population of more than 10,000, of which there were at least five or six thousand young adults.

Thousands of soldiers can be recruited, etc.

No one was even willing to refute such idiotic remarks, so Pang Yu directly threw an imitation May 4th pistol in front of the young man.

"Go ahead, find a young man outside, put a gun in his hand, and then tell him to work for you and give him a try."

The former Internet practitioner named Guo Yi immediately turned pale:

"Of course this won't work. After you recruit people, don't you have to carry out ideological education, brainwash them through meetings, and engage in pyramid schemes? Isn't Ade an expert in this area?"

"I don't have the ability to let a group of strangers work for us with just a few words." Ade's face turned pale, and he immediately stood up and waved to clarify, "Those are real people, not NPCs, and this is not a computer game. Give me some gold and some rice to be loyal.

The degree was immediately mentioned as one hundred."

"You can see how much effort Pang Yu and I put in to get those seventy or so captives to work for us. It has nothing to do with pyramid schemes! Even so, every time I come into contact with them, I still don't

If you dare to carry a weapon, you are afraid of being robbed, let alone handing the weapon into their hands... Xiao Guo, if you really think you are powerful, you might as well come and help me, I am short of manpower recently."

Hearing Ade say this, Guo Yi's face turned paler:

"I've never done this before, I've always been in planning work..."

"Whoever proposes it will implement it. Since it is your own suggestion, of course it is most appropriate for you to do it yourself - it's settled, Xiao Guo has been transferred to our human resources team to help."

Ade had a playful smile but was extremely determined to finalize the matter. Others had no objections - there were many guys in the group like Guo Yi who were whimsical and did not consider the reality at all. They often put forward some bad ideas that were completely unfeasible. In this regard

The countermeasure everyone adopts is "whoever proposes it will implement it" - whoever has a plan should do it himself. It is your ability to persuade others to follow suit, but in fact most of these "suggestions" end up in vain.

It's a good thing to have the courage to make suggestions, but it's a dream to expect others to break their legs by just using your mouth. No one is stupid these days.

I sent someone with a bad idea, but the problem itself still needs to be solved. It is unrealistic to directly recruit people to fight, but it should still be possible to recruit some local people to do the work. The newly recruited local workers are planned to be placed in the engineering team to do menial work first.

When the weather gets warmer and a lot of manpower is needed on the farm, they can be transferred to the farm to help.

At the end of the meeting, Tang Jian asked Ade carefully about the possibility of selecting some of the captive laborers to join the military group. Transforming enemy troops is a fine tradition of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Although he does not dare to hand over his guns to them now,

The army is not the only combat branch. Many auxiliary tasks require a large number of manpower. Especially now that there is a serious shortage of transportation means, the requirements for manpower are even greater.

After the meeting, Pang Yu and Xi were still walking together. The two were discussing specific measures to recruit migrant workers - how to pay wages, how much, etc., when a girl cautiously approached them.

"Ah, Pang Yu, Brother Xie, you both happen to be here, and I have something I want to discuss with you."

The two of them looked up in astonishment. It was a girl from Hangzhou named Zhu Yueyue. She was very fashionably dressed. She claimed to be a secretary when registering her work specialties. She has been helping in the logistics department these days. She is a very lively and cute little girl. Everyone is interested in it.

She had a good impression.

"Ah, Xiaoyue, what's the matter? Did you exchange salt for fish fillets again?"

Jie Xi smiled and teased her, saying that since the salt field was built, the supply of supplies had become much more abundant, so everyone turned a blind eye to the girls' selfish behavior.

"No, we have serious business."

Zhu Yueyue made a very serious expression and waved to the back. Two or three more girls followed and gathered around her. The eldest lady Wang Jiaojiao was also among them!

Pang Yujie looked at each other at the table, and both of them had a bad premonition at the same time. Sure enough, Zhu Yueyue's next words made them dizzy...

"Captain Tang and the others are going to Qiongzhou Prefecture to investigate, and we also want to help. We can sneak into the city to inquire about information, and we can also accompany the officials to have a drink. We will definitely get useful information from the wine table!"

The girl's face was flushed, and she seemed very proud of her bravery:

"I have watched "The Golden Bough" and know how to accompany wine in ancient times. I used to play cosplay a lot and took a lot of costume photos!"

Later, Wang Jiaojiao and another girl named Su Muxue also joined in excitedly, not noticing that the faces of the two people in front of them turned from red to white, and then from white to blue.

After finally taking a breath, Jie Xi managed a smile and said:

"Why are you looking for us? Just go and tell Captain Tang directly."

"Captain Tang is so fierce. I'm afraid he won't agree. Brother Xie, please help us talk about it. Didn't you also help Xiaoye and the others?"

Bad thing! I still can’t push it away... Jie Xi was dumbfounded for a long time. Then he saw Pang Yu smiling and trying to escape, so he quickly grabbed him:

"That's good. Let Lao Pang help analyze it. He is our military advisor... Don't leave!"

***Is this guy really a businessman? His ability to play football is no less than that of a civil servant... While the poor architect cursed the unloyal companions around him, he had to think hard about the action plans of the three ladies in front of him.

"First of all, I would like to ask, how do you plan to 'sneak' into Qiongzhou Mansion?"

Pang Yu originally thought that the ideas of these girls were just like Guo Yi's before, which were completely pie-in-the-sky. As long as they talked about practical issues, they would be able to retreat. Unexpectedly, these girls actually had something to rely on.

"Yes, yes, we are going to dress up as a theater troupe. Look, there are props here!"

Miss Wang Jiaojiao personally pushed over a wooden box and opened it. As expected, there was half a box of colorful costumes, as well as some headgear and other accessories. It looked quite new. I don’t know which unlucky theater troupe left it in the county warehouse.

They actually asked them to dig it out.

"I attended an opera training class when I was a child, and I can sing a little bit of Peking opera...'Su Sanli left Na Hongdong County'..."

After saying that, Su Muxue really opened her voice and sang a few words. They were really prepared! Then the three ladies all looked at Pang Yu eagerly, eagerly waiting for his affirmation.

The architect was a little dumbfounded. After thinking about it, he asked cautiously:

"Well, okay, let's say you successfully sneaked into Qiongzhou Mansion, got acquainted with the local officials, and drank together... What if any official drank too much and wanted to... rob someone or something? What are your plans? Handle?"

The three ladies hesitated for a moment, but they had probably discussed this issue. Zhu Yueyue answered seriously:

"We will bark, I screamed very loudly."

"ha!"

Jie Xi finally found an opportunity and couldn't wait to interrupt:

"What's the point of calling? Do you expect to call a group of police officers to come out?"

The girls who were ridiculed refused to back down. After gathering courage for a long time, Zhu Yueyue took out her "secret weapon".

"I still have this..."

The girl took out a small object from her pocket. After pressing the switch, the top made a crackling sound and flashed a small blue high-voltage arc... It was a self-defense electric shock device for women.

"This is my first time traveling alone. My mother bought it specially for me. The advertisement said it has a high voltage of 40,000 volts, which is specially designed to deal with bad guys."

Pang Yu was a little touched by the girl's persistence and seriousness. It was hard to say anything sarcastic, so she just shook her head with a wry smile:

"No, you can't go to Qiongzhou Mansion with just these equipments."

"That's why we want to go with Captain Tang and others. If we get into trouble, they can still save us."

Wang Jiaojiao said cautiously, since she became active in the last meeting, this beautiful lady has been keeping a low profile these days. She probably also knew that she said something stupid that day. Although no one laughed at her, girls are thin-skinned. I rarely communicate with people these days, so it’s not easy for me to take the initiative to talk today.

However, this beauty is still used to the life of being in the spotlight. She takes it for granted that she should be the center of attention wherever she goes, and it is natural that she should be the main focus when making plans.

Pang Yu sighed. He didn't want to say something too unpleasant, but now it seems that it would be really hard to end up if he didn't make his words clear directly.

"Girls, this... what I say below may be quite blunt. Please forgive me if I don't like it..."

"We have been living in this unfortunate age for more than two months, and we have all suffered a lot... Ladies, can you please have some ideas - can you pretend to be a troupe by wearing a theatrical robe? I miss you. You’ve probably never heard of the ‘road guide’ system in the Ming Dynasty, right? You’ve probably never known that Peking Opera didn’t exist until after the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, and there was no such opera at all in the Ming Dynasty.”

"Usually, you have traded salt with the locals. Even if you don't consider the language communication problem, look at yourselves. You are all thin-skinned and tender. You are still using cosmetics here, and you still expect to stand among the ancients without being discovered. ?A few shepherd dogs want to join the wolf pack just because they have some dirt on them?"

"As for this reconnaissance operation, who told you that Captain Tang was going to the city? They mainly went to observe the deployment of the garrison in Qiongzhou Prefecture. Most of the time they walked in the barren mountains and ridges, and were not exposed to the locals at all. Whereabouts. Just now, I went to the chemical team to buy more than ten kilograms of wax oil, just to apply it on the exposed parts of my body to avoid insect bites. I hid in the woods and lurked for a whole day to observe. It is completely different from what you imagined!"
