However, they must then get down to business.

Especially now that it’s noon, you have to do whatever you want to do quickly.

Although it is not far from Xiangyang City, it took a lot of time to get out of the city. Although the gate management of Xiangyang City has been somewhat relaxed during this period because it has not been heard of the enemy for a long time, so many people are still packing their bags as if they were moving.

Even if you wrap it up, you will inevitably be interrogated for a longer period of time.

Without further delay, after walking around the entire camp again, Li Ping and Song Baolai began to roughly divide the camp area according to the principles of separation of soldiers and civilians, separation of men and women, and separation of training and living and production areas.

When each job began to be gradually assigned, the camp quickly became lively, especially those "veterans" who had just distributed their shoes. They were all excited.

Li Ping, who had been sweating for a while, watched Song Baolai arrange everything in an orderly manner. He felt so happy that he simply ran to his residence, which was a small courtyard built halfway up the hill.

This small courtyard is hidden in the green woods. There is only one low-rise house with an ensuite. This house is still quite well-preserved. Perhaps it is hidden in the shade of the trees and is alone. There is nothing valuable in it and no one is there.

Be willing to go to the trouble of demolishing it!

Although it's not very high, standing in the yard and looking through the shade of the surrounding trees, you can take in the entire camp below the mountainside. Except for the many mosquitoes, it's really a nice and quiet place.

Li Ping needs to think and think quietly.

He must plan the construction and training of the troops, which is a more important and urgent matter.

The negative effects of rapid expansion are obvious, especially when there are more people, the control problem of the troops becomes more complicated. Without strong discipline and tight organization, they will be just a mess and easily lose control.

At least, he must first solve the current problem of indistinguishability between soldiers and civilians.

Li Ping already had some ideas on this issue. The addition of Song Baolai gave him more room for maneuver. At least Song Baolai was more trustworthy than the ancient people here.

Of course, it was impossible for all of the nearly a thousand people to serve as soldiers. It was imperative to separate the soldiers and civilians. But who would manage so many civilians and how to manage them had always troubled Li Ping.

With Song Baolai, Li Ping finally found that he seemed to be able to concentrate on military affairs.

With more than 500 young men, Li Ping planned to sift through them and organize them into three fully-staffed sentries, while the rest could be handed over to Song Baolai to lead.

It is actually a helpless move not to form more troops.

What is youth?

For Li Ping, anyone between the ages of 16 and 40 is considered, and this is the standard he has to relax. If he continues to narrow the scope and makes someone between 18 and 30, I am afraid he will not be able to compile even one whistle. This is the reality.

Moreover, this is without placing too many demands on physical fitness.

A series of diseases that are rare in later generations, such as big neck disease, night blindness, rickets, short stature and obvious malnutrition, were quite common at this time. Especially big neck disease caused by iodine deficiency was more common in mountainous and inland areas.

It's so widespread that many people don't even consider it a disease.

Naturally, Li Ping can't be too picky, if he still wants soldiers.

Once we have a general direction, how to organize the troops, how to train them, and who will be the captain and commander, it becomes a matter that needs to be carefully considered.

Human affairs have always been complicated, and issues of basic principles are also the most troublesome.

As for whether he would go out and grab ripe rice in a few days, he didn't consider it at all. Now that he had some inventory, he couldn't do anything beyond the lower limit.
