They can only put all their eggs in one basket and find a way to break this deadlock, then there is a glimr of hope.
"There’s one more thing, our team is temporarily assembled for battle, and we’ve never worked together, let alone built any rapport, so the leader should only make the battle plan, allocate personnel, and issue the general orders.
Each team should still be arranged by its own leader, this way we can avoid accidental injuries or killings during battle."
Everyone understood this without saying it out loud. Although the entire refugee team had been together for half a month and had so exchanges like trading materials, they were not willing to entrust their backs to each other, nor did they feel secure about it.
Niu Lizheng still thought he could join the 132th Regint, only to find out it was just a temporary assembly. He was very disappointed and didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
So he asked, "Can we join your team then?"
They were all ordinary folks, and the difference between their own team and soone else’s team was worlds apart. How could he not be tempted!
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at this tall, thin man, who was gazing at her with anticipation.
She originally didn’t want to accept, but given her mission, she had to make so concessions.
The situation in the city was complex; to rescue the citizens entirely and unscathed was a significant challenge with just her 100-plus people. So she could only expand the team size, enhance her strength, leverage external forces to maximize strength, and try not to lose people if possible. After all, training loyal people who can be entrusted with their backs is not easy.
After observing for half a month, this group of over 200 civilians frequently had incidents of fighting for food due to hunger, and they would bla each other for unequal division of labor, leading to constant squabbling, though it was mostly trivial family squabbles.
As long as they weren’t too malicious, Cheng Xiaoxiao could reluctantly accept them, and after so training, they could barely fit in as auxiliary personnel responsible for logistics.
If she saw soone pleasing to the eye with good potential, recruiting them into the team for cultivation as seeds wasn’t bad either.
It seed her managent model needed to be revised, and she would make a detailed plan later.
After so thoughts, Cheng Xiaoxiao solemnly replied, "It’s not easy to join my 132th Regint. You’ll need to understand our regint’s rules and regulations first. If you can accept them, there will be a one-month probation period. After passing, you can start as auxiliary personnel, and only when your Contribution Points reach a certain level can you beco a regular mber."
The other team leaders looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao in disbelief, thinking she must be delusional.
They had an illusion that joining the 132th Regint was harder than taking the imperial exams to beco an official.
Niu Lizheng had been educated for a few years and even beca a child student, but so of Cheng Xiaoxiao’s words were truly beyond his comprehension. However, it didn’t hinder him from understanding the core content: after a one-month probation period, they could beco auxiliary personnel.
So there was still hope, and he asked again, "Can auxiliary personnel be with you too?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao gave a brilliant smile, "Of course, as long as you’re my team mber, whether regular or auxiliary personnel, you’ll live and eat together. Although auxiliary personnel won’t have excellent treatnt, there will be no problem ensuring you’re well-fed and clothed.
Once you beco regular mbers, you can join various technical departnts according to your specialties."
"What’s a technical departnt?"
Niu Lizheng felt his thoughts couldn’t keep up with this young lady.
"It’s simple, it ans that once you beco a regular mber, your children can study literature or martial arts based on their talents. You might also find a job within the team, like those good at carpentry can join the production departnt. For example, won skilled in embroidery can join the clothing departnt, and n good at martial arts can join the Patrol Team. In short, whatever skill you have, you can showcase it. I will assign suitable positions according to your strengths and abilities, and the contribution you make during employnt will earn you points to exchange for materials."
Niu Lizheng nodded repeatedly, feeling delighted. So this is how Miss Cheng manages her team; as long as they work hard and beco regular mbers, the prospects are limitless!
At that ti, the kids in the village can learn to read, and no longer have to be illiterate bumpkins like their parents. He had heard that the 132th Regint had a remarkable scholar, very knowledgeable, and by judging how well they educate their team’s children, it’s evident these kids will grow into significant figures in the future. Once in the team, their children could beco all-rounders in both literature and martial arts, just the thought of it made his blood boil with excitent.
The others were also inwardly shocked, hearing about the 132th Regint’s managent model openly for the first ti. It was sothing unheard of, never seen before. Although it seed unbelievable initially, upon reflection, they realized that not only did the system make the best use of everything, but it also allowed everyone to shine, and most importantly, under this model, while competing against each other, they also mutually restrained each other. The cohesion of the people was strong and exceptionally efficient.
They couldn’t help but praise the woman before them again, shrewd, decisive, and so original. Only the promise of ensuring new mbers would be well-fed and clothed seed too much!
In this frozen world, it’s already fortunate for ordinary folks to have a bowl of thin porridge and a bun without frequently going hungry. Expecting to be well-fed and clothed seed nothing but a pipe dream.
Han Xifeng couldn’t help but think of his family, who had already started cutting back on food and clothing to ensure enough grain to get the entire family through the winter.
After all, in these tis, money couldn’t buy grain.
He should be regarded as the wealthiest among the teams, yet he didn’t dare promise to fill the bellies of several hundred extra people. Where did this young girl get her confidence?
At this point, the few exchanged glances, thinking Cheng Xiaoxiao was bragging and painting a grand vision.
Inside, they secretly laughed at Niu Lizheng for being foolish enough to believe whatever he was told.
What they did not consider was that in the near future, they wouldn’t even have such an opportunity.
They would only regret not joining the 132th Regint back then, despite having the chance...
A single misstep can lead to a lifeti of regret!
However, Fang Zheng and Lu Jingtian were sowhat moved; they felt much more deeply than the others.
With a team of 200 people now, they’ve entirely drifted away from the 132th Regint. But without food, even with Lu Jingtian’s wealth and extra grain, it couldn’t withstand the good appetite of so many n.
His mother had already complained too many tis, even though he repeatedly explained that his brothers were strong in combat and could protect the family when facing danger, the panic brought by a lack of grain was overwhelming.
He initially thought it would be better once reaching Yuan Yang City and being able to replenish supplies, but he hadn’t envisioned the current situation — not only was grain impossible to buy, but there’s also a threat to life.
Sister Xiao was quite capable, and since she could promise that those who joined could be well-fed and clothed, there must be so backing or reliance. Perhaps joining the 132th Regint was a good way out after all.
