Chapter 1032: Horse Manure and Horse Bones
Xu Xiaobei was very pleased. There was admiration in Zhou Guo's eyes that could not be ignored. No wonder his father liked her so much. She was good-looking, well-behaved, smart, intelligent and capable, and had a heart of a bodhisattva. Not to mention girls, even boys in the world could only compare to her.
Such a person should be a member of their family.
At present, both sides are discussing how to receive, resettle and where to resettle these people.
Zhou Guo thought that the population in the north was large, so even if there was a shortage of manpower, he could still find enough long-term and short-term workers. However, it was different in Nanhe and the south. Even if he wanted to recruit, he couldn't find so many people.
Therefore, this group of people have to be divided into two parts according to the degree of disability. Those with really bad legs and feet can stay in the north, and those who are slightly better can go south. Nanhe will get 20%, and the rest can be divided equally among the several prefectures in the south. Anyway, there is not much land at present, but manure fermentation needs manure.
You can also stay in various escort agencies to do logistics, or stay in various shops as a clerk.
Those with less severe injuries will be assigned to the escort team.
She said: "Right now the escort agencies are understaffed. All the escort agencies combined only have about 200 people. However, there are a lot of things that need to be transported on a trip south, and more than 200 people are not enough. If everyone leaves, these escort agencies in the north will be empty and won't be able to operate at all.
If we can fill in half of these people, the escort agencies in the cities we have conquered will be fully established, and even if we need to expand in the future, we will have enough manpower.”
Wherever the army went, her escort agency would go there.
Along with the escort agency, there were also farmhouses and shops, and along with the farmhouses and shops, there were also new grain seeds and fertilizers.
Rice is difficult to grow in the north, but it is the staple food in the south, more important than wheat. As long as everyone is allocated land, everyone's life will get better in just one or two years.
If the rear is stable and the army in the front has sufficient supplies, the world will be stable faster.
Xu Xiaobei nodded, "What else do you need?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I really do have some. Can you give me the horse bones and horse manure from the battlefield? Can you sell the horse manure to me? I don't want it for free. I'll buy it with money."
If there is enough horse manure, she can change the fertilizer recipe and the effectiveness of the fertilizer will increase by at least 10%.
If this thing can be increased by even half, it would be a huge achievement.
Xu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Okay, if I really give this thing to you for free, I'm afraid many people in the barracks will not accept it. You can just give me a symbolic amount, half a cent for five loads of fat, okay? Do you want it to be cheaper?"
Zhou Guo's mouth was split with laughter. "Okay, okay, it's very cheap. I charge more than this price for night incense."
Xu Sibei clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It's good now. Even if we used it as fuel before, we didn't need that much manure, and the excess could only be buried. Now that Guoguo wants to use it, we can return it to the field without the trouble of digging holes everywhere, and there's no smell either. It's a win-win situation."
Zhou Guo asked curiously, "Why didn't you sell the extra money before?"
Xu Sibei said: "Everyone disagrees, saying it will bring disgrace to the Xu family army. Father is not very willing either."
If this is sold.
In front of outsiders, the once powerful Xu family army was so poor that it had to sell horse manure. Isn't this a disgrace? Not only did it lose morale, but it also caused instability in the army.
Zhou Guo thought about it and felt that there was some truth to it. Once the horse manure was sold, the soldiers in the barracks would speculate that the barracks had no money and no future, which would affect the morale of the army.
She said, "I'll have someone come to collect them. I'll have the brothers who have retired from the military camp go to the camp to receive them."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Xiaobei and said, "Brother, this is the horse bone. Can you find it?"
Xu Xiaobei smiled and nodded.
Xu Sibei interrupted, "There's nothing else at the border, but horse manure and horse bones everywhere. What do you want horse bones for? Are you going to make compost?"
Some people want horse manure, and if no one wants it, it can be used as fuel. But I have never heard of any use for horse bones. "What kind of bones are they?"
In some places, bones can be used as weapons.
Zhou Guo explained: "For mixing seeds, any horse bone can be used, no matter where it comes from."
Talking about the benefits of mixing seeds.
The more they listened, the more interested they became. They had never expected that horse bones could be used in this way.
It can be seen that there is no real waste in this world, everything has its use.
She also gave money for horse bones, giving money to whoever picked them up. Although the amount was not much, at least they could make some money, and everyone was more motivated to work.
Xu Xiaobei said: "Don't worry about it. It only happens once a year. Just leave it to me. You have so much space, and it costs money here and there. How can you spend so much money like this?"
Zhou Guo felt that he had to give it. "Brother, I still have to give it. My work is not just for one or two years. I will need it every year in the future. Since I need it all the time, I can't just ask for it for free. I have to pay to avoid future troubles."
She felt that if things could be solved with money, it was better to solve them with money. Although this kind of thing was not troublesome, as time went on, it was inevitable that people would gossip about her and say that she was taking advantage.
Giving money can save you a lot of trouble and prevent you from having any future problems.
Xu Xiaobei and Xu Sibei both laughed, and he nodded readily, "Okay, I promise you this. When the day comes, you send someone to pick me up at the checkpoint."
Zhou Guo was so excited that he couldn't help himself and said loudly: "Yes."
From now on, she had no shortage of people, and she also had horse manure and bones, saving a lot of money.
The matter was settled and the sun was setting.
A few people ordered another table of food.
Zhou Guo also gave a jar of crab sauce he brought to the waiter and asked the kitchen staff to prepare it and serve it.
They are all acquaintances and the restaurant is happy to do this job.
Zhou Guo asked, "Brother, stay for two more days. Come to my place tonight and I'll have someone bring out a basket of crabs. The roe isn't fat yet, but there's plenty of meat."
Xu Sibei's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned to look at his elder brother, "Brother."
Xu Xiaobei smiled and nodded, "Okay, but we have to go back tomorrow, so we can only stay for one night. You should come to our house, and we will take you to get to know the place."
It was Zhou Guo's eyes that lit up. "Really? I haven't been there yet."
General Xu has a general's mansion in the north.
The General's Mansion is located in the west of Yunzhou City. Many of Yunzhou's wealthy families live here, and they are either rich or noble.
Zhou Guo had been there many times, but had never been to the General's Mansion.
The huge general's mansion occupies an entire street, and the two stone lions at the gate are much larger than ordinary ones.
Xu Sibei said, "We don't live in this general's mansion all year round. We only keep a few people inside to look after it. To be honest, it's not as comfortable as your mansion."
A house that has not been inhabited for a long time has a gloomy and cold atmosphere.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I just want to go and take a look. I have never been in such a big house before, and I want to go and broaden my horizons."
It is said that the Yang family and the Wang family are only one-third the size of the general's mansion.
