Today was destined to be a busy day.
The sweet potato harvest was great, and along the way, the parasites in Liangshan were cleaned up. These things needed Chen Ye to personally command them. It was only in the afternoon that they came to an end. Chen Ye arranged a banquet for tonight and then returned to his room.
He opened the system.
A translucent panel that only he could see appeared in front of him.
The following information was clearly marked on it.
Level: V3
[Unlocked: Liangshan Farm.]
[Unlocked: Liangshan Metals.]
[Unlocked: Liangshan Salt Production.]
[Ding-dong: After Liangshan Metals is activated, the production of metals within the host's jurisdiction will receive a buff.]
Please read the details carefully.
[Ding-dong: After Liangshan salt production is activated, salt production within the host's jurisdiction will receive a buff.]
Please read the details carefully.
[Accumulated Faith Points: 3088]
[Remaining Faith Points: 1888]
……
Looking at these messages, Chen Ye could not help but smile.
During this period of time, his Faith Points had increased very quickly, almost reaching the 2,000 threshold. He was still waiting to break through the 2,000 threshold, and most likely, he would unlock new functions. In the end…today, with the appearance of the sweet potato, his Faith Points had actually increased by leaps and bounds, directly breaking through 3,000!
Not only did he unlock the Liangshan smelting module, but he also unlocked the Liangshan salt module.
It could be said that the harvest was bountiful.
Then the development of Liangshan would definitely rise to another level in a short period of time.
……
In the evening, Liang Mountain held a banquet. Other than the necessary patrols guarding the village, the rest of the people gathered in the hall to enjoy the prosperity.
This hall in Liangshan was specially used by Chen Ye to invite his brothers to eat together. It was about the same size as the canteen. Although it was a little simple and crude, it was still built with giant wood and thatched roof. However, compared to the outdoor picnic scene before, it was much better.
After everyone sat down, wine and meat, especially the processed sweet potatoes, were served one after another.
However, no one moved. Instead, everyone stared at Chen Ye.
His eyes were filled with admiration and respect from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Ye picked up the bowl and said loudly," Brothers, let's drink this bowl first to celebrate that our Liangshan Mountain has survived the most difficult period of food shortage. From now on, our Liangshan Mountain will no longer be short of food. Everyone can eat their fill and no longer have to starve!”
To the ordinary Liangshan lackeys, there was nothing more pleasant to hear than these words!
From now on, he would no longer have to starve!
It was their dream, and now it had come true!
At this moment, it was like a dream!
In an instant, a commotion broke out!
"Fuck!"
"Leader is mighty!"
"I'm willing to sacrifice my life for the Chief!”
……
After the commotion died down, Chen Ye continued,"Liangshan has lasted for more than three months and has undergone earth-shaking changes. Here, we should reward them according to their achievements. First, let's talk about the first merit this time.”
Chen Ye asked with a smile, but everyone was a little confused.
First merit?
The boss fed them well and gave them good drinks. They only did some farm work, took care of some crops, built houses, and did some cleaning…Although it was a little hard, it was what it should be!
To them, as long as they could eat their fill, they were willing to work hard.
Contribution?
What credit did he need?
No one answered.
Chen Ye wasn't angry. He smiled and said," I think that the credit should go to Instructor Lin. He was the one who killed Wang Lun and resolved the biggest problem of Liangshan. Everyone, shouldn't this credit go to Instructor Lin?"”
"Give it to Instructor Lin!"
"Instructor Lin is the best!"
"Instructor Lin, you're good!"
……
Everyone shouted.
So it was this kind of reward!
However, no one had any objections.
The lackeys didn't feel that they had made any contributions, but Lin Chong and Wang Lun did.
Chen Ye's gaze wandered around as he looked at everyone's expressions. Seeing that no one had any strange expressions, including Song Wan and Du Qian, the two leaders, he nodded his head secretly. It seemed that everyone had completely turned their hearts to him. The traces of Wang Lun in Liangshan, especially in everyone's hearts, had been eliminated.
Chong Lin, on the other hand, was a little fearful.
Not only had he just arrived, but he had also almost made a huge mistake, and then…
First merit?
"Chief, you can't do that. How can I, Lin Chong, dare to surpass the leaders and take the credit?" I…"
However, before he could finish speaking, everyone had already begun to persuade him.
"Instructor Lin, you're welcome!"
"Instructor Lin's martial arts are unrivaled, and his spear and staff are invincible.”
"Wang Lun tried to rebel, and Instructor Lin killed him.”
……
These words of persuasion were from Song Wan, Du Qian, and Zhu Gui. Clearly, the three of them were very impressed with Lin Chong. They had no choice. Lin Chong's martial strength was much, much higher than theirs.
"Instructor Lin, there's no need to decline. This merit will definitely be yours!" Chen Ye also smiled.”
Chong Lin reluctantly accepted it, but his heart was already in turmoil.
He felt that the haze of the past few days had been swept away, and the road ahead was extremely clear. This Liangshan, this Chief, gave him a feeling that he wanted to fight for it with all his heart. It was even stronger than when he was working in Tokyo and wanted to go to the battlefield!
"Instructor Lin is the most meritorious, and is now in charge of the training of the Liang Mountain soldiers!”
"Instructor Lin, are you willing?"
Chen Ye said.
Lin Chong cupped his fists and knelt down.”
"Good!"
Chen Ye nodded his head. With Lin Chong's words, it wouldn't be long before Liang Mountain's fighting strength would rise to another level. After all, Lin Chong was the instructor of the 800,000-strong Imperial Army. His martial arts, experience, and knowledge were enough to raise the strength of these minions.
"Next up is the special contribution award!”
As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, everyone immediately turned their gazes towards the Sky Touching Du Qian, the Cloud Vajra Song Wan, and the Dryland Hulu Du Qian. Presumably, only these three leaders would be able to receive this special contribution award.
However, the three of them felt that something was wrong.
This Special Contribution Award didn't seem to be related to them.
Chen Ye had already called out a few names.
"Liu Er, Zhu Xun, Cheng Qi, Liang Qu, Ding Gui.”
"Stand up."
"Congratulations to the five of you for receiving this Special Contribution Award!”
The five of them stood up, but their faces were filled with confusion. They were even particularly unconfident.
He looked as if he had called her the wrong name!
Everyone was in an uproar.
Who were these five people?
It was not a leader, nor was it a leader. It seemed to be an ordinary, ordinary, minion who looked exactly like them. Why did the five of them get this award!
Chen Ye had a smile on his face. According to the current mindset, these five people wouldn't have had a chance to do anything because they were just ordinary minions. However, in Chen Ye's eyes, they had their own merits and had contributed a lot.
For example, Liu Er was actually an old acquaintance. His life was saved by Chen Ye from the fire. However, Liu Er looked listless, but he was an expert in farming.
When he promoted the sweet potato, Liu Er quickly grasped the knack. He even made a planting plan that was suitable for Liangshan according to the climate, soil, rain, and light conditions of Liangshan. Even the choice of building terraces was suggested by this fellow.
Of course, this was nothing to ordinary people.
So what if he knew how to farm?
Without land and sweet potato seeds, how could he plant a hammer?
Moreover, he was only slightly better than the average person. Who didn't know how to farm?
But Chen Ye could see his talent in this area!
In the future, this kind of farming expert would definitely be an expert. If he worked harder and was given the right opportunity to display his skills, he might even become a scientist. At that time, he would be able to create hybrid rice. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Such a person was useless in this day and age.
Cheap industry!
But in Chen Ye's eyes, it was a treasure!
The other four were similar, and they had outstanding abilities in all aspects.
Hence, Chen Ye said," These five people have made outstanding contributions to farming, building houses, raising fish, carpentry, and sewing. Therefore, they are specially awarded with a special contribution award."”
"The five of you will each choose a corresponding member to form your own team.”
"Everyone will be the leader!"
"Five hundred copper coins a month!"
Boom!
In the hall, everyone's voices instantly exploded!
……
Good Days on Liangshan, Everyone Has Food!
Five hundred copper coins?
Every month?
Moreover, choosing people to form his own team?
Become their leader?
What kind of treatment was this!
This treatment was simply unimaginable!
But why?
Farming? Raising fish? Blacksmith?
Wasn't this a cheap profession?
How could they receive such treatment?
Everyone was puzzled. The five winners were also a group of terrified people, but Chen Ye smiled and said,"This is what you deserve. However, speaking of which, if you don't shine in your posts, you will definitely be removed.”
"Also, if someone surpasses you in this aspect, then you can only abdicate!”
After he finished speaking, everyone completely believed him due to Chen Ye's prestige.
Chief really wanted to do this!
Didn't that mean that everyone had hope?
After all, even if he couldn't read, what about farming?
Chen Ye immediately announced the next award.
"Model Labor Award!"
There were a total of 12 people who had worked hard in the past three months.
Although everyone was working hard, these twelve people were role models.
And among these twelve people, there was actually Liu Er.
Liu Er was grateful for his great kindness, so he had been working hard for the past three months.
Unexpectedly, he received two awards.
For this award, Chen Ye had given each of them five hundred copper coins. It wasn't a lot, but for the ordinary minions, it was a lot. It caused another huge sensation!
Liu Er felt like he was in a dream.
A bumpkin actually had the chance to ascend to heaven!
The way his brothers looked at him was completely different.
Many people even took the initiative to curry favor with him.
Even his wife looked at him with admiration!
A sense of pride and…gratitude surged out of Liu Er's heart!
He had to work hard at his post and work to the death!
I don't want to be trusted by the Chief!
After the model worker award, Chen Ye announced the highlight of the day.
"This time, we'll discuss special grade techniques!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes looked around again.
However, his gaze was no longer focused on Lin Chong, Du Qian, Song Wan, Zhu Gui, and the other leaders. Instead, he was looking at his brothers and compatriots around him…Chen Ye had already used his actions to tell them that these people who were originally called nobodies, or even thought of themselves as nobodies, could get credit!!!
Chen Ye had a panoramic view of this scene.
He couldn't help but smile.
This was the result he wanted.
In this era, the status of craftsmen was similar to that of farmers. They were both cheap jobs!
However, the energy they could actually unleash, once used well, was absolutely ridiculous.
As for the monthly salary of 500 copper coins, was it a lot?
These people thought that it was too much, but in Chen Ye's eyes, it wasn't much at all.
It was only six taels of silver a year. If converted to modern money, it might be a few thousand yuan a month!
Such a small amount of money was enough to stimulate everyone's exploration and contribution in this area.
It was worth it!
"Special grade technique, Zhu Hong!"”
"He found an iron mine on our Liangshan and proposed a very reasonable mining method!”
Speaking of this, Chen Ye was also pleasantly surprised.
This Zhu Hong was originally assigned to the Third Master, Song Wan, and was in charge of the basic construction of Liangshan. However, his ancestors were all mining craftsmen, so he had the ability to do so. Then, by accident, he discovered that there might be iron ore on Liangshan.
This was not strange. Liangshan was so big, so it was normal for there to be iron mines.
Moreover, this person also knew a lot about development and smelting methods.
But this person was actually used to move rocks and build houses…
What a waste!
He continued," Zhu Hong will be rewarded with 500 copper coins. He will be ordered to select people to form his own mining team. There is no limit to the number of people. He will be in charge of leading the team. His monthly salary will be 800 copper coins!”
Zhu Hong was also an honest man. Perhaps he had never thought that he would one day receive such treatment. He stuttered and couldn't speak. He knelt down with a plop and kowtowed continuously.
The crowd was in an uproar. The sound waves were so loud that they seemed to break through the clouds.
Chong Lin was holding a bowl of wine, but at this moment, he felt that the wine was not fragrant at all.
He had thought that he was a first-class martial artist, but now he knew that the first-class martial artist was actually a younger brother!
However, after drinking a bowl of wine, Chong Lin's heart was filled with pride.
No matter what, as a soldier, his treatment would definitely be better.
In that case, he absolutely could not be surpassed by these people!
What a joke. He was the instructor of the 800,000-strong Imperial Army. How could he not show his true abilities?
He had to do it ruthlessly and desperately!
He had to raise the strength of the Liangshan soldiers to a level higher than the imperial court's soldiers!
Chen Ye then announced some more rewards.
However, it did not cause such a shock to everyone. They were all second-class or third-class martial arts.
They were all given to Du Qian, Zhu Gui, Song Wan, and some other people who had contributed.
All of them were rewarded.
At the end, Chen Ye said loudly," In the past three months, everyone has made contributions. Therefore, everyone will be rewarded. I have decided that everyone will be given a stone of sweet potatoes. I will give half a stone first, and then half a stone after a month. Of course, everyone can choose to store it in the canteen. In the future…"
Before Chen Ye could finish speaking, the somewhat quiet hall was completely noisy again.
"A stone for one person? Heavens, did I hear wrongly?"
"Chief, you really are the reincarnation of an immortal.”
"This life of mine will belong to the counterfeit in the future!”
"Our family finally has food reserves!"
……
Most of the small fries in the stronghold were so poor that they could not eat, so they went up the mountain to become bandits. They were all poor people, and these people suffered under the harsh taxes of the Northern Song Dynasty. They could not even eat their fill all year round.
Countless people starved to death.
But now…
They were given food!
He even gave him a stone!
A stone!
In the past, this was simply unimaginable!
This was almost a year's worth of food for one person!
But now, there was one…In addition, Chen Ye had once said that as long as one worked in Liangshan, Liangshan would provide them with food and money. Didn't that mean that this stone of grain could be saved?
Food reserves!
Food reserves!
Food reserves!
They could actually have food reserves!!!
Many people were so excited that they started crying!
Chen Ye was also a little speechless. He didn't expect the crowd's reaction to be so big!
It seemed that food was the most important thing at all times. However, Liangshan would not be short of food in the future!!!
……
It's too pitiful to collect a niche book. Please give the author some confidence!
