The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Huachu camp.

Political Hall.

Yan Yuanshan, Liu Dachuan, Wang Kesheng, Yu Wanzhi, the steward of the craftsman camp, and Guo Sanhai and Yang Minghe who came from the riverside camp with Liu Sheng were all sitting in the hall.

Liu Sheng asked someone to add a stool to the right seat and asked Li Changwen to sit down.

Then he introduced: "This is Mr. Li Changwen and Mr. Li from Xiaoli Village. He has joined our rebel army."

Probably because they had little experience in similar scenes, Yan Yuanshan and others were a little cautious, so they each bowed their hands to Li Changwen without saying anything.

Li Changwen also returned the gift.

Then Liu Sheng said: "There are many things to do and time is tight, so I will not talk about the situation and go directly to the topic of the meeting.

First of all, before I went to attack Queshan County, I asked the two major camps to step up the construction of a new affiliated camp. How is the construction going? Okawa, you go first. "

Liu Dachuan said: "The affiliated camp of Huachu Camp is built more than three miles to the north, where there is a small lake during the dry season.

During the driest time before, the water was waist deep and the area was more than 100 acres.

If it is enlarged and deepened before the rainy season, it can be built into a reservoir.

It can not only store water for flood control in the rainy season, but also be used as water for farmland irrigation and people's daily life in the dry season.

However, we were in a hurry to cut down trees and build campsites and lacked manpower, so the reservoir has not yet been excavated.

According to the leader, the rainy season will arrive in October, so once the people who have moved there have settled down, we must rush to repair ditches and reservoirs as soon as possible. "

Liu Dachuan stopped here.

Liu Sheng nodded and said: "The construction of the reservoir should be given priority, but the people's residences cannot be ignored. I went there today and saw that it seems that temporary wooden houses have not been built yet?"

Liu Dachuan was a little nervous and said: "Back to the leader, time is too tight, we can only cut down the trees and clear the site first.

But with the wood there, the newly arrived people would not waste much time building their own wooden houses. "

Liu Sheng nodded, looked at Guo Sanhai, and asked, "Where is the riverside camp? How are the preparations for the affiliated camp?"

Guo Sanhai said: "We set up a camp three miles upstream, because we didn't dare to get too close to the river, so the camp was basically in the woods.

Most of the time in the past few days has been spent logging, and then some ditches were dug, and temporary wooden houses were not built. "

Liu Sheng frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "It seems that you are not active enough in building a new camp."

At this time, Yang Minghe had the courage to speak out: "Chief, when it comes to building temporary wooden houses for new immigrants, firstly, the time is really too tight, and secondly, the people really lack enough motivation.

Although there is a work-point policy, there are many jobs in the two camps and there is a shortage of people in all aspects. People can earn work points by doing other things, and the people are more willing to build their own homes in the future. "

After hearing these words, Liu Sheng pondered for a moment and then said: "What you said does make some sense, but in the final analysis, we still haven't come up with a better strategy."

Immediately, Liu Sheng stopped pursuing it.

Before he left, he only asked to open an auxiliary camp. Because he didn't know what to do, he didn't leave any quantitative tasks.

How far it can be achieved depends entirely on the enthusiasm of the people in the two camps and the level of the management personnel.

It took ten days to basically open up the two auxiliary camps, which was pretty good.

After all, the management of the two major camps are all grass-roots teams, and their level is just that. As the leader, he cannot blame everyone.

In addition, this incident also reminded Liu Sheng.

As more and more people moved to North America, the results of the settlements gradually emerged, and the semi-military model of collective work and eating from a big pot had begun to show its shortcomings.

He should consider changing the management policy of the Chinese Department by the end of this year at the earliest and after the wheat harvest next year at the latest.

Immediately, Liu Sheng discussed various specific matters regarding the resettlement of new immigrants with several people.

For example, how to arrange new immigrants into the four camps respectively.

After discussion, it was decided to increase the number of Huachu Camp from more than 2,000 to more than 6,000 people, and increase the number of Hebian Camp from more than 3,000 to more than 6,000 people.

As for the two affiliated camps, one is named Huazuo Camp and the other is named Hexi Camp, each housing more than 5,000 people.

The general managers of the two new camps are Wang Kesheng and Yang Minghe.

As for the four vacant clerkships, Liu Sheng will select four teachers who are good at arithmetic, responsible and careful to take up the positions.

After discussing this matter, in order to avoid the gap between the immigrants who had previously moved in and the new immigrants, Liu Sheng decided against all the opinions and decided to arrange more than a thousand old immigrants from Huachu Camp and Hebian Camp to the new camps. .

As compensation, each young person will be given additional work points for one month's work.

In this way, it can not only promote the integration and unity of new and old immigrants as soon as possible, but also allow the old immigrants to lead the new immigrants in work and improve the labor efficiency of the new immigrants in the early stage.

Then there is the arrangement of the craftsman camp.

Liu Sheng collected nearly 200 craftsmen from Queshan County this time. Counting their family members, there were nearly 1200 people.

There were originally 100 households of craftsmen in the craftsman camp. Counting their families, there were nearly people.

Later, Liu Sheng assigned 300 older singles (over 35 years old) to help the craftsmen work in the camp.

So there were nearly 900 people in Craftsman Camp before.

Among the newly collected craftsmen, except for the four categories of craftsmen: blacksmith, bamboo stripper, painter, and papermaker (including their families, there are more than 100 people), the rest of the craftsmen and their families have been filled in the craftsmanship camp.

And another 500 older single young men were assigned.

As a result, the number of people in the craftsmanship camp will increase to more than 2500.

In addition, because there are many prisoners in Huabu now, Liu Sheng officially established a prisoner camp.

And three were set up at once, namely prisoner camp, male prisoner camp, and female prisoner camp.

As the name suggests, the prisoner camp contains previously captured Ming soldiers and Xiangyong. Excluding those who died of serious injuries, there are now 1498 of them.

The male prisoner camp and the female prisoner camp are the prisoners obtained after breaking through the homes of the evil gentry and bullies.

The number of people is not large. There are currently about 500 people in the male prisoner camp and more than 200 people in the female prisoner camp.

The three prisoner camps were not located together.

The prisoner camp will be arranged to the west of Huazuo Camp, the male prisoner camp will be arranged to the west of Hebian Camp, and the female prisoner camp will be arranged on the southern edge of Huachu Camp.

This is done to prevent an accident in one prisoner camp from affecting the other two prisoner camps...

In addition to the resettlement of new immigrants and the personnel allocation of the four major camps and the four small camps, Liu Sheng also learned from several people about the work results of each workshop, field, and kiln in the past ten days.

Today, there are three carpentry workshops, five brick kilns, two pottery kilns, and one porcelain kiln in North America.

In addition, there are 100 acres of saltpeter fields, a leather factory, a paper mill, and two garment factories.

The so-called garment factory is actually a group of tailors, with a group of women helping them, cutting cloth and making clothes according to the requirements of the supervisor in a large shed.

The only industrial equipment in the factory were the two pedal-operated sewing machines that Liu Sheng had stored before crossing over.

There happens to be one for each factory, and it is given to the most dexterous tailor in each factory.

Liu Sheng knew that he had too few tools and equipment for future generations, and it would be difficult to significantly increase the productivity of the Hua Department in a short period of time.
