The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 8 Construction Plan

Su Lin learned from Sha Niu the upper limit of the population that can be recruited.

The village center can recruit up to 200 people, and each level of the monarch can recruit 100 more people.

Now the upper limit of the village center is 200 people plus 100 people of the monarch level, and the current maximum can recruit 300 people.

Even if the level is raised in the future, there are only a few thousand people. With this number of people, they can compete with the seven great powers in the Central Plains?

Just a fool's dream.

We must know that this is the Warring States period, not a feudal dynasty with concentrated imperial power in later generations, and there is no such thing as a peasant uprising.

The earliest peasant uprising was the Daze Township Uprising by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the last years of the Qin Dynasty. Of course, it was quickly wiped out.

Among the few big countries that exist now, which one has not existed for hundreds of years, has deep roots, and can deeply mobilize the people at the bottom, so I want to make enemies of these big countries, and use eggs to hit stones.

Su Lin felt desperate for the task of unification.

It doesn't matter, let's occupy a piece of land first so that we can develop first.

Sulin's biggest advantage is time, a lot of time.

"Girl, can the food cooked by Zhuo Jing be eaten?" Chen Fu asked with a smile during the dinner.

Meals are shared in this era. Several people sit around a dilapidated and blackened long wooden table, each with a small bowl of rabbit meat soup and rabbit meat in front of them.

"It's delicious."

Su Lin politely took a bite and gave him a thumbs up. It was the first time he ate such delicious rabbit meat in this era.

The soup and meat are separated. Unknown wild vegetables should be added when cooking the soup. The soup is very delicious.

"It's fine if you like it. I wonder if it's inconvenient for the girl to move here? If you need help, just ask." Chen Fu gnawed a piece of rabbit meat and asked with a smile.

Ma Yun and Liu Zhuang were also extremely hungry, gnawing on rabbit meat regardless of their appearance.

Su Lin glanced at it, coughed slightly in embarrassment, it was really embarrassing, and then smiled at Chen Fu: "I came in a hurry, I didn't bring some daily necessities, which city is near, I plan to buy some .”

"Doesn't the girl know where this is?"

Chen Fu was a little puzzled. If he wanted to come here, he could only come from Nanzheng City in the northwest. It was impossible to come from other directions. Other directions were deep mountains, old forests, and cliffs.

Of course, it was just some doubts, and thinking deeply, maybe I forgot in a hurry.

"It takes more than a day's journey down the mountain from here to reach Nanzheng City. We have to go to the city to exchange some salt almost every month. If there is anything needed, I will bring it for you next time." Younger brother Chen Lu took the lead Said.

"Nanzheng? Thank you very much. If you can, I hope to go together next time."

Su Lin really needs to exchange some supplies. The most important thing is to see if he can buy some iron ore and a few changes of clothes. It is too uncomfortable to wear this every day.

"Okay, then it's a deal." Chen Lu was overjoyed.

Chen Fu glanced at his younger brother, the question in his heart was hard to ask, and he shook his head helplessly.

It's not a big deal either.

After dinner, it was time for Su Lin to say goodbye.

The Chen Fu brothers arrived at the entrance of the village and watched as Su Lin and his party walked away. Chen Lu still had a look of reluctance in his eyes.

"Miss Su has a good temperament, she doesn't look like a woman, if she is a man, I think she can be a good brother." Chen Fu has a good impression of Su Lin.

"Yeah, she's a strange woman." Chen Lu sighed, and Su Lin felt a sense of loss after he left.

At this time, there was a wild laugh from behind.

"That girl is destined to be a king, and this small forest cannot trap her."

It was Guiguzi Wang Xu who spoke, still looking sloppy and unruly.

Walking in front of the two brothers, he stroked his gray beard and looked at Su Lin who disappeared into the depths of the woods with a smile.

People in the village don't know Guiguzi's identity, they only know that his surname is Wang, he is learned, and not much else is known.

The two brothers also laughed off his crazy words.

How could a woman have the appearance of a king?Even if he is a man, if he is not an aristocrat, he will not be able to get along with the mainstream high-level officials of a country, so why talk about a king?
rebel?

It doesn't exist, and it can't be successful.

"What? You don't believe me?" Seeing their disapproval, Wang Xu asked with a chuckle.

They just smiled wryly, they definitely don't believe it, but it's better not to say it out loud, so as not to get entangled with old man Wang.

"Forget it, you will know later."

Wang Xu flicked his dirty sleeves, turned and left, humming an unknown song, very chic and happy.

Su Lin returned to the camp along the original road, and when he was halfway, Sha Niu reminded him.

"The construction of the barracks is completed, and 100 experience points are obtained."

Finally, Suning clicked on the icon of the barracks to check the available arms.

Currently only one class can be recruited.

Militia consumes 60 points of food and 20 points of gold coins.

Possess skills: primary hunting, primary fishing, primary riding, primary shooting.

To put it simply, the villagers are farming people, they can only collect and build non-combat, and their combat capabilities are very limited.

The militia is equivalent to a nomadic fishing and hunting people, very similar to the Manchus, living among the white clouds and black soil and hunting for a living.

Although it consumes 10 food points and 20 gold coins more than the villagers, it can hunt and has certain combat capabilities.

It seems that there is no way to quickly explode troops. The consumption of gold coins is too high. Every kind of architectural blueprint needs gold coins. Now even the most basic militia needs 20 gold coins. In the future, there will be more places that need gold coins.

This also confirmed Su Lin's plan to build more residential houses, even if it was free, he would build residential houses for Chen Fu's village.

There is also the damn population limit, which seems to have a strong golden finger, but it played a very limited role in the Warring States Period.

The battle between the Seven Kingdoms, which often involved hundreds of thousands of troops, has a population limit of only 300 people, which is really not enough to watch.

With 47 gold coins remaining, first recruit two militiamen to see if the hunting efficiency is high. If it is suitable, then recruit a large number of them. If the efficiency is low, give up this unit.

One advantage is that the recruitment of villagers and militias does not conflict.

Villagers are recruited at the village center and have 10 hours of training time.

The militia is recruited in the barracks and has 12 hours of training.

On average, two are recruited a day.

Now 41 gold coins can be provided every day (10 points in the village center, 31 points in the residential area), which is just enough to recruit the militia, and it is considered deadly.

Fortunately.

There is no need to build other buildings for the time being, and the gold coins are used to recruit militias.

It has been three days since Chen Funa came back.

The militia also recruited six men, and they came out with short bows and several bows and arrows, as well as fishing harpoons.

Of course, bows and arrows can be reused, but they are worn out and must be supplemented at the blacksmith shop.

Su Lin has been thinking about the iron ore these days, and has also sent a few militiamen to explore the surrounding area to see if there is any iron ore. There is no news yet.

I really hope that I can quickly find the iron ore, otherwise many things will not be done.

On this day, six militiamen came back from hunting, carrying a black-skinned wild boar weighing several hundred catties.

There was commotion in the camp.

This wild boar is even bigger than the last one, and it has at least 200 more food points.

"That's right, let's dissect it."

Seeing the dead wild boar filled with bows and arrows, Su Lin nodded in satisfaction.

Average it out.

A militia can get more than twice as much food as a villager in a day's hunt, as wild animals and meat provide higher quality food.

To bring the beast back, the work of dissection has to be handed over to the villagers, and the militiamen are not good at such work as dissection.

Of course there will be some, but the efficiency is not as good as that of the villagers.

It is quite cost-effective for Su Lin to recruit militiamen, let them hunt full-time, and they can't recruit too many, after all, development cannot rely solely on hunting to obtain resources.

Cutting wood, building houses, and collecting stone are jobs that the militia cannot do.

Su Lin plans to recruit up to 20 militiamen, maintaining a ratio of four to one with the villagers, neither too many nor too few.

It is still necessary to recruit a certain number and form an armed force.
