At daybreak, Zhang Yang recruited another 50 male villagers as farmers, 5 lumberjacks, 5 tailors, 5 butchers, 5 cooks, 5 village guards, and 25 craftsmen.
This immediately solved the village's labor shortage and the problem of having to pull soldiers away to perform hard labor.
Actually, ordinary women could also change class into these domestic professions, but that would lower their loyalty. For the sake of having three children, Zhang Yang practically wanted to enshrine them. How could he possibly recruit them to work?
Even without recruiting ordinary women, the village's working population had already approached two hundred.
With so many people, the problem of management arose. Many would slack off. They were not among the original 500 recruits who, once given an order, would work nonstop like little motors.
Unfortunately, ordinary people could not be recruited as administrators. Even the tavern keeper required an outstanding-grade or higher population to change class and be recruited.
So there was no choice. Zhang Yang could only dispatch two Captain-Level Soldiers: one to temporarily serve as the tavern keeper, and the other to supervise the farmers' work in the fields.
As for the craftsmen, Zhao Tiezhu himself served as foreman and administrator. He had been the last person recruited from among the original 500, so there was absolutely no need to worry about his work quality.
The hunting team had set out early. Wu Yuan was the captain, Qin Yidao and Liu Dali were the deputy captains, and the members included the Four Berserker Bears, ten Captain-Level archers, and ten Captain-Level infantrymen, for a total force of 27 people. Their strength was extremely formidable. Today, they would head north and explore at least 150 li, hunting as many level-15-or-higher monsters as possible, because only monster souls obtained that way could raise elite-grade soldiers
