Chapter 137 Establishment and Management
Chapter 137 Establishment and Management
"The slave overseers... one is not enough, they must be divided into two teams."
"The combat teams... must be divided into at least three, and each team will have more than a dozen members."
"Yes, and there's also gathering..."
Zi Yi was counting on his fingers on a piece of familiar Xuan paper on the grass when the surrounding voices suddenly became louder.
"Inhale—it smells so good!"
"Salty! It sounds like salt?"
"No, salt is much more pungent than this!"
"It smells like grass!"
On one side came the squeaking of goblins, and on the other side came the chatter of prisoners.
"The scent of noble spices?!"
"It tastes like spices, but it's quite different."
"It seems to have come from an adult."
"What are you doing, sir? Are you roasting spices in a pot?"
very noisy……
Zi Yi felt like her brain was going to malfunction again.
Forget it, I don't want to.
He rolled up the paper and walked toward the source of the fragrance.
That was Li Mosi stirring the spices.
This was what they captured in the battle against the two knights.
He placed a large pot over the fire, filled with spices and animal fat, and was now scooping up a spoonful to examine it closely.
The reddish-yellow oil is crystal clear and tempting.
"Slurp...gulp."
Zian, standing to the side, took a deep breath, and swallowed hard after being tempted by the aroma.
"Slurp! Master, these dried grasses smell so good!"
It's so tempting!
She was so annoyed that she didn't even want to wait for the celebration banquet that night; she just wanted to drink oil instead.
Li Mosi turned around and looked at Zi'an, who was drooling with envy, and shook her head.
"It's alright, I'd say."
The spices of this world were beyond his understanding. As a craftsman, he couldn't afford the spices of the nobility. At most, he would eat some common local herbs such as onions or sage.
He could only barely pick out a few spices that smelled similar to those he had used before his transmigration and try frying them.
Although the result was not bad, it smelled just like barbecue.
But putting aside the fact that his target was hot pot base, he felt that these spices, which were outside his understanding, had a lot of "unpleasant flavors".
However, Li Mosi did not dwell on it.
After all, the only person present who had ever tasted spices was probably Hagiwara.
Who cares about this?
It's good to have it!
"Gurgle~"
Zi Yi was also getting a little hungry.
However, he cares more about important matters.
He walked up to Li Mosi and said, "Master, I've decided on a candidate."
Just after finishing the debriefing and discussion, Li Mosi wrote down the positions they needed to finalize on a piece of paper and told Zi Yi to think about them slowly.
While Ziyi was pondering, he and Zian went to get the spices and oils to begin making the product.
The reason I thought of making hot pot base is that it would be more convenient for the goblins to use it for cooking rice once it's ready.
"etc."
Li Mosi stirred the oil in the pot again.
Seeing that the color was about right, he took a few burning, thick branches out of the campfire and threw them aside, then used mud to extinguish the fire under the pot.
clap clap!
He wiped his hands on his apron.
"Alright, you can tell the goblins to add this to their food. Add it to all the food, and give the slaves extra meat and cheese as well."
"I understand, Master."
Zi nodded, then turned around and loudly called over the goblin who was cooking.
"Waaaaaah!"
A group of goblins quickly gathered around the pot and ladled the spiced oil into the cooking barrel.
Seeing them start working, Li Mosi walked away to make room, and Ziyi and Zian followed.
Zi Yi casually unfolded the paper.
On the paper, he wrote six words in Chinese characters from left to right.
[Combat, Oversight, Gathering, Crafting, Food, Taming]
Li Moss asked, "Who did you choose? Let me hear your reasoning."
Zi'an peeked out from behind.
She felt this was quite important.
Having spent so long in the slave-catching team, she never imagined it.
Zi Yi pointed at the text and said, "Hmm, I'll start by considering the most obedient one. Like Old One-Eye, that one-eyed old guy, he's having trouble catching his prey. I'd like him to be the supervisor."
"Then, sometimes Zi'an and I have to split into two teams, so I also arranged for Wai Shou, that goblin with one hand hanging like this. It was injured while saving its companions during a hunt. I plan to have it act as a supervisor as well."
Hearing Zi Yi's words, Li Mosi nodded.
Although farming is no longer necessary, it is still necessary to divide the work into two teams for rotation.
While the effects of using a float pole and spear thrower are not immediately apparent after beginners, and it takes a lot of time to further improve accuracy, training is still necessary.
After splitting into smaller teams, there will be some requirements regarding aiming.
And he never expected that these goblins had such a story behind them.
They are all truly kind and loyal.
But now we don't need to divide into teams to farm anymore, right?
Zi'an was a little confused, but seeing that her late master didn't speak, she nodded.
Zi Yi then pointed to the first word.
"I've got three guys in mind for the fighting team: Big Tooth, the one with the really big teeth; Scarface, whose hands were burned by fire; and Cracked Tooth, whose teeth cracked from chewing on stone. All three of them are spear-throwing warriors, obedient, and skilled in combat."
Li Mosi continued to nod.
Zi'an couldn't hold back any longer.
"These are the people who listen to you the most. If you distribute them away, won't you be left without anyone by your side?"
Zi Yi looked up at Zi An, then turned her gaze to Li Mosi.
"He doesn't need to worry about that now."
Li Mosi shook her head.
"These days, what goblin doesn't obey orders? Last time, even with so many people, we managed to keep them retreating in an orderly fashion. Believe me, if it were a slave-catching team, they would be in complete chaos and wouldn't even be able to execute the same strategy."
If the next enemy weren't likely to be nobles and their soldiers, there would be no need to do this now.
"Furthermore, we stopped recruiting spear-throwing warriors before because of a shortage of wood, but now we have new processed wood, enough to build houses. We can continue to turn obedient goblins into new spear-throwing warriors."
Zi'an blinked: "Oh, right."
Zi Yi nodded and pointed to the next word.
"For both food and taming, I plan to choose from the goblins who are currently responsible for cooking. Actually, there are too many of them cooking. Although they were called cooks before, they were actually responsible for both cooking and guarding the tribe..."
It's said that they added the task of taming, but it's actually just about taking care of the cubs.
The workload is not large.
For a while, Li Mosi would be fed once in the morning, and that would be it. She would just stuff enough food into the hay nest and that would be it.
With the [Leshan Water] map, he wasn't afraid of the wolf cubs getting lost.
Not to mention that apart from the only wolf cub with its eyes open, none of the other cubs showed any intention of moving around.
This method of raising the chicks ensures their health and survival, but it consumes too much hay, and the chicks also become smelly.
Even without parasites, it's impossible to inhale.
It's time for a change.
Zi Yi then mentioned the last two words.
"I haven't thought about the gathering and crafting roles too much yet. If I appoint warriors as captains, they won't have time to train, and the combat effectiveness of individual warriors is also limited. As things are now, it doesn't seem to have any problems."
"These two don't seem to be needed for the time being?"
Zi'an thought about what it had been like recently.
I've only ever seen slaves slack off, never goblins.
"We can choose not to do these two things for now. We can't assemble a dedicated team of craftsmen and gatherers at the moment, and we plan to convert the goblins who are doing these things into warriors in the near future."
Li Mosi took out an ink block.
"But have you considered that we now have 13 spear-throwing warriors, 13 earlier-joined pole-throwing warriors, and 61 later-joined pole-throwing warriors? That makes a total of 87 warriors."
"You've divided the warriors into five teams, each with 17 to 18 men. That's more than the number of warriors we used when we went hunting before."
There were too many people involved, whether for overseeing the work or for hunting.
Furthermore, with four security officers assisting them in management, they no longer need so many goblins.
Once the number was calculated, Zi Yi understood.
"Then we... add... ah... ten people in a team should be about right."
Zian and Ziyi counted on their fingers together.
Li Mosi stated directly, "That means dividing into eight teams. Each team will have ten people, and the remaining seven can be transferred into other teams or used to train new soldiers."
Zi Yi scratched the back of his head.
"Then I'll choose three more spear-throwing warriors to be captains."
Li Mosi nodded.
"Hurry up and think, I can smell the aroma of dinner."
