"Dangdangdang"

The rapid sound of gongs suddenly sounded among the mountains, and the crisp sound suddenly shattered the tranquility of the mountains.

Forestry came out of the sugarcane field, looked at Li Erlang who was running along the road with gongs, and shouted loudly: "Second brother, what happened again, why did you suddenly beat the gong?"

"Ten thousand troops of Jiaozhi are attacking, all the rural soldiers gather immediately"

Li Erlang ran and shouted loudly.

Lin Ye was stunned when he heard this. Didn’t he win the battle? Jiaozhi people came again. This is endless.

No matter how much he complained, he did not dare to neglect. Forestry cleaned up a little, and then seized the time to greet the sugar service staff he brought. The soldiers in the service left and arranged the work for others.

Fast horses set off from Taiping County and flew towards each township and township. The newly disbanded soldiers were gathered again. The sugarcane that had been cut down in a few days was piled up like a mountain in the sugar field. The lively scene that was originally boiling seemed to suddenly have a cold wind, which suddenly cooled down.

The best harvest period for sugar cane sugar is actually very short. It is around October and November. After this period, the sugar content will decrease. But as long as the rainy season does not enter the rainy season, the sugar content will only decrease by one or two. This number is amazing for large factories in later generations, but in this era, it is not unacceptable. Therefore, the sugar supply business has always kept the sugar pressing season for a long time. Although the output is a little less, the utilization rate of labor is much higher.

It is already mid-February. The rainy season comes, but sugarcane can no longer wait in the field. When the rainy season comes, sugarcane will use nutrients to grow and the sugar content will drop rapidly. At that time, there will be no value for squeezing sugar.

Since Xu Ping first established the sugar sugar business, the output has increased year by year. This year, the war with Jiaozhi has continued. The process of squeezing sugar has been interrupted again and again. Everyone has no idea what the sugar production will be.

Whether the three divisions can be completed is related to everyone's interests. This time the gathering of the village soldiers is not as relaxed and cheerful as the last time. Everyone's expression is very heavy.

In the chief official's office of Sugar Service, Xu Ping looked at various documents and his eyebrows were deeply locked.

Since the last war, Xu Ping has been wearing eyeliner in Jiaozhi, and when Li Fengxiao's troops move, Xu Ping got news here.

But this time was different from last time. Li Fengxiao was very fast and did not send any pioneers. He directly led the 20,000 troops by the Fuliang River to the north and was expected to arrive in Liangzhou within ten days. In addition to these 20,000 people, there were 10,000 or 20,000 people who were in the back team and were also coming one after another.

Now the rural soldiers in Liangzhou have retreated, only Sang Yi led 5,000 troops there, and less than 10,000 civilians have repaired the fields in the Liangzhou Basin.

Five thousand to twenty thousand, and they are facing the elite soldiers of Jiaozhi, but they are not like local soldiers. Even if there are fortifications to be used, the situation is quite dangerous.

Xu Ping's eyebrows were deeply locked and he was thinking about how to deal with it.

There is no need to think about getting assistance from the court. The Privy Council originally did not agree to extend its power across the mountains. Even if Liangzhou and Menzhou were lost again, they would just calm down and restore their original state.

Everything depends on yourself, but how do you rely on yourself

The fundamental reason for sugar sugar business is still in the areas around Taiping County, where most manpower is concentrated here. No matter how fast you move, you can concentrate people and arm them. When you drive to Liangzhou, you must also fall behind Li Fengxiao.

Not to mention that one-quarter of the sugarcane this year has not been harvested, which delays the squeezing of sugar and causes some accidents in Liangzhou. Such consequences

Xu Ping leaned on the back of the chair and could only smile bitterly. After six years of hard work, if he was not handled properly in the last test, it would be in vain.

The atmosphere in the hall was very cold and solemn. Han Zong, who was responsible for the matter, and all the public officials were buried in the case. No matter whether they were real or not, they couldn't even show their anger.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping said to Han Zong on the table next to him: "If you transfer all the young and strong people in the sugar business now, how much manpower is left to complete the sugar squeeze?"

Han Zong stood up and said respectfully: "According to his subordinates, there must be nearly 20,000 talents."

"That's it, all young and strong people under the Sugar Service, who are over 18 years old and under 50 years old, will be transferred to Liangzhou," said Xu Pingjuesheng. "The manpower shortage is mainly to recruit local local people. If it is still not enough, let the women in Sugar Service give up all their livelihoods and collect sugarcane."

"This" Han Zong looked embarrassed.

Most of the people who participate in sugar sugar services are poor, and women also have to handle farm work, but most of them do chores or women who weave cloth. If you really use it as a man, it is still difficult for people to accept this era.

Xu Ping said in a deep voice: "Extraordinary times, use extraordinary means. During this period, all the rural soldiers who entered the service paid twice as much money than before. Any women who stayed in the sugar worker would give half more money, and women who entered the sugar worker would give the same money as men."

Han Zong calculated: "It may be possible to pay more money. So how can the locals recruited temporarily say that they had only half the salary of the sugar workers in the past?"

"This time, the people who paid full salary for sugar services have added money to allow them to get the full salary they used to, which can not only show the difference between inside and outside, but also easily attract people."

Last time, there was a war, and the money in the sugar business was spent like flowing. Fortunately, Xu Ping was worried about causing local inflation, so the reward was only given a small part of the reward, and the rest was regarded as being in the sugar business, and he promised to give half a share of the profit in a year. Taiping County is rich in funds, and usury is not common, and interest is low. The half share of the profit in the sugar business is already considered high interest.

This method can solve the problem of some funds shortage. However, the next battle was too short and the funds were quite tight.

Xu Ping has money for sugar services, but he has become accustomed to being a big deal in recent years, but he did not expect to face a shortage of money in the end.

After arranging the sugar affairs, Xu Ping said to Han Zong: "You will give your orders. This time it is extraordinary. Everything is not necessary to be done step by step. As long as the soldiers of each township form a command, they do not need to meet in Taiping County. I will let my subordinates rush to Liangzhou with command. You must arrange the response, food and accommodation on the road, and never have any accidents."

Korean vocabulary promise.

Xu Ping stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about various chores.

The big moves of tens of thousands of people are very complicated, and it is easy to happen if you don’t think about them. Although the sugar sugar business is organized in an orderly manner, it has never faced such a situation. It has reached the moment of general mobilization.

From Taiping County to Liangzhou, the distance is similar to that from the Fuliang River to wherever Xu Ping wants to replenish his defensive power before the Jiaozhi army arrives there, he needs extremely strong organizational capabilities.

But after all, sugar sugar services are the people. Compared with the army, the overall planning of the organization is particularly important. We must make the best use of Menzhou and Pingxiangdong, two places close to Liangzhou, and transfer the sugar sugar services that repair the fields and open the roads there to get some time.

There is another chapter to be continued in the evening.
