Chapter 407

One thing came to an end for the time being. The statistics on the number of barbarians were sent to Luo Ji the next day. There was nothing to say. All men of the right age would naturally be recruited into the army.

As for the women, just assign them whatever work they can do. Anyway, Luo Ji doesn't need to worry about this kind of work arrangement for a long time.

Finally, a large wave of recruits was recruited, which made Luo Ji feel a lot better. Moreover, maybe it was too long, and the people of the original Great Zhou who had been resisting joining the army gradually changed their views.

The conscription order has been hanging, and the number of people who have signed up to join the army has been gradually increasing recently, which can be said to be developing in a good direction.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Luo Ji also took advantage of the situation to launch the "military service" system that had been sorted out long ago, and provided quite good conditions for the people who participated in the military service.

On the premise that he had been vaccinated in advance, a few days later, the response to the promulgation of the military service system was not bad, which made Luo Ji a little relieved.

As long as this system is rolled out, the lack of new recruits within his Myriad Realms civilization can be greatly alleviated.

At the same time, the coarse salt, which has been fully promoted, was officially launched. Outside the shops in each city, there were almost straight lines of long queues. For a while, the scene was spectacular.

However, although coarse salt can provide the necessary ingredients for the human body, once consumed in excess, it will also become a bad thing.

Therefore, at the same time as starting to sell coarse salt, Luo Ji also specifically instructed that outside each store, there must be a few shop assistants to specifically inform the customers who are queuing up to buy coarse salt.

At the same time, each customer has to limit the amount of coarse salt they buy each time. Under normal circumstances, a small bag of coarse salt is enough for a long time. It doesn’t make sense for you to buy two big bags at once.

In addition, considering the drying efficiency of the salt drying workshop, the amount of coarse salt is relatively limited in a short period of time. It is naturally no problem to buy a small bag per person, but if you buy two large bags and two large bags, It was a bit unbearable.

In the past few days, the popularity of coarse salt in the entire Myriad Realms civilization has been constant. In the warehouses where various stores are stocking goods, the stock of coarse salt is rapidly declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Faced with this situation, Luo Ji naturally sent two more warrants to the salt drying workshop. While dispatching additional staff, he also ordered the factory manager to increase the scale and speed up the efficiency. The third and fourth batches of coarse salt were rushed out.

In the future, the consumption of coarse salt is expected to become very large. As for the reason, they also have to prepare for winter.

Although there is basically no shortage of food in the civilization of the world today, it is undeniable that in winter, animals hibernate and food production declines.

With so many people in an entire civilization, Luo Ji couldn't be 100% sure that no one was hungry, right? But this problem is really difficult to cure, there is no way, it can only be improved slowly.

And the point that Luo Ji is currently working on improving is the problem of food preservation. Yes, he is currently pickling salted fish, meat and vegetables.

In the past, when they stored dry food, they could only use the simplest method, that is, drying it.

But pickled foods are different. Pickled foods can be preserved for a long time. As long as the Myriad Realms Civilization is within, households have stockpiled a large amount of pickled foods in advance, enough for them to spend the entire winter.

When Luo Ji was at home by himself, every winter, he would get himself some salted meat, salted fish, etc. to try it out, so he was quite good at salted food.

Looking at the marinated meat and fish hanging on the wooden poles, Luo Ji clapped his hands with satisfaction, "That's right, go back and get these marinated fish and marinated meat, and the jar of pickled vegetables below. They are all sent to restaurants to promote and publicize, and then the pickling method will be popularized according to the trend. This winter, the people should be able to live a little better."

In this regard, the followers behind him naturally shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Hearing this, Luo Ji chuckled lightly, glanced at the few followers behind him, and said, "Speak less, do more things, and move quickly."

He could feel that his guards and followers were sincere when they said those words, and according to the emperor's standards, he was indeed a good emperor who would do anything.

But this emperor has been in office for a long time, and when the people under his subordinates see him, they become more and more respectful and cramped, even his old brothers are no exception. separated by a distance.

He had never quite understood why some people liked talking to animals, but animals didn't necessarily understand what they were saying.

But now, he understands that gradually, the words he chats with Pianying and Liaoyuanhuo are more than with He Liang...

This may be the so-called coldness at a high place. If you want to be in a high position, you must first endure loneliness. Fortunately, he is also a person who does not like liveliness. He must be able to get used to it soon. In this matter, Luo It can be said that he is full of confidence in himself.

A few days later, after putting together all the hand crossbows in the hands of himself and the escort team, plus the latest batch of hand crossbows produced by the ordnance production department, Luo Ji finally gave it to Zhou Yi. A team of 100 crossbowmen.

Time waits for no one, and it is one day less before the beginning of winter. Zhou Yi, who has already made a military order, naturally does not dare to wait any longer.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition Army has already set off."

"Really?" Looking at the report in his hand, Luo Ji responded casually, appearing a little indifferent.

This can't help but make He Liang feel a little strange in his heart. He had been very attentive some time ago, why is he suddenly so indifferent now?

"His Majesty……"

"What's wrong?" Luo Ji replied casually without raising his head.

"Your Majesty doesn't seem to care much about Beizheng's affairs."

"So that's what happened." Luo Ji laughed, and at the same time stopped his movements, "I've already done what I need to do, and Zhou Yiruo failed to kill the hyena people in the mountains and forests in the north. …”

Having said that, Luo Ji changed his words slightly, "That only shows his incompetence."
