My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Chapter 318: Reorganization of the Xiling Warriors

When Chen Yulou heard what was going on, he relaxed a little, but he still started to explain.

"Commander, you are right. My brothers are used to being wild and need to be properly settled. But I don't know how you plan to arrange them."

Jiang Li chuckled when he heard this, "Haha, you don't have to think too much. I plan to take them all in this time, assign some to military posts, and continue to observe and follow you to the tomb."

"Others can go to factories, or learn a craft. If that doesn't work, I can give them some money to start a small business. In short, they won't starve!"

"But there is one thing, that is, these people must be examined first. I won't bother with those who only robbed property, but I will never let those who killed people off easily. I must seek justice for the innocent victims!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou immediately expressed his opinion, "Don't worry, Commander. I have inquired about your policies before I came here. You have always enforced the law impartially, so I have already screened out those who kill and rob, and they are not coming with me!"

"That's good. In that case, I'll have someone accompany you to settle your brothers first, to prevent anyone from getting hungry and causing trouble!"

After saying that, he called the logistics manager and asked him to take people and various supplies, together with Chen Yulou, to visit those Xiangling strongmen.

After they left, Jiang Li began to think about the resettlement of these people, and the most important one was the principle of voluntariness.

The situation of these people is different from that of the recruited soldiers. It is impossible to arrange them at will. It must be what they are willing to do.

And he started thinking about this. The first thing, of course, was to become a licensed tomb robber, and then the next steps were farming, breeding, learning a craft, doing business, and mining.

After thinking for a long time, he finally figured out how to accommodate these people, but in the end he slapped his head and said, "Why did I forget this!"

So I added two more things to the paper: excavating mountains and digging wells.

After all, these are strong men who are quite good at digging holes. If they are led by professional engineers, they will definitely become a powerful engineering team.

After figuring out how to accommodate these strong men, Jiang Li asked people to prepare things, which were naturally the military uniforms and the like.

Because the military uniforms and other items were ready-made and only needed to be taken out from the warehouse, everything was ready the next day.

So Jiang Li took several hundred Taoist soldiers and prepared to go to the camp of Xiangling Lishi outside the city, but he thought that these people were not good people.

So he mobilized another 3,000 garrison troops and then went out of the city with peace of mind.

When he arrived at the Xiangling Lishi camp outside the city, Jiang Li saw that around their camp, in addition to the one thousand people Jiang Li left behind, there were also many police officers patrolling the surrounding area.

Regardless of all this, Jiang Li directly asked someone to call Chen Yulou. With his help, he asked the record-keeping personnel he brought with him to start registering these people one by one and distributing resettlement fees and military uniforms.

As for what to do, that was of course their own choice. The registration took two full days, and it was not until the third day that these people were dispatched to various places.

But even though Jiang Li offered a lot of jobs, 18,000 people still chose to stay under Chen Yulou, but Jiang Li was not willing to let so many people gather together.

So he waved his hand and divided these people into three groups. Chen Yulou, Hua Maguai and Hong Girl each led a group.

As a result, each "archaeological team" only has 6,000 people. Although this is much better than before, it is still a lot.

So he had to spend some more time and effort to promote some middle and low-level officers among these people so that the entire archaeological team could work in a more orderly manner.

But this brought up another problem, that is, their "archaeological technology" was severely divided. Except for the team led by Chen Yulou, which retained its strength, the other two teams were much weaker.

To this end, Jiang Li equipped them with some geological talents, several Maoshan Taoist priests, a security team of 300 people, several trucks equipped with radio equipment, and brand-new "archaeological" equipment.

With these instruments and the help of professionals, we can barely carry out normal "archaeological" tasks!

After reorganizing the three "archaeological teams", Jiang Li asked the intelligence personnel to report the locations of the ownerless ancient tombs they had discovered during this period.

Afterwards, "archaeological" tasks were assigned based on distance and task difficulty.

The command of this archaeological team is still under the name of the Supernatural Bureau. After all, if they encounter a small number of rice dumplings or something, the Taoist priests accompanying them can solve it.

But if the number is too large, the Supernatural Bureau will need to send people to deal with it.

After being busy for several days, he finally arranged everything for them. Before he had time to rest, someone came to report that Taoist Li Lin was waiting for him in the Government Affairs Hall.

When Jiang Li heard that Li Lin wanted to see him, he thought there was news from the underworld, so he immediately set off for the Government Affairs Hall.

The first thing he said when he saw Jiang Li confirmed Jiang Li's guess, "Commander Jiang, there's news from the underworld!"

"I have already cast a spell and informed the seniors in the sect of your request. Last night, the seniors in the sect replied and agreed to the deal."

"After you prepare the purified soul crystals, you can start the ritual. Do you want to start the ritual now?"

Jiang Li was sure that it was exactly what he expected, so he was about to agree immediately. However, he remembered that the soul crystals were still in the incense burner, so he said to Li Lin: "There is no rush. The soul crystals have not been brought here yet. I will send someone to get them. It won't be too late to open the altar in the evening!"

Li Lin didn't say much after hearing this. He said goodbye to Jiang Li and turned away.

Seeing Li Lin leave, Jiang Li immediately sent people to the Wuxian Temple where the soul crystals were stored before, and took out all the soul crystals.

Not only that, he also ordered people to prepare some incense and candles, a large amount of paper money, and some fruits as tributes, in an effort to build relationships with the evildoers who were doing the business.

However, an embarrassing scene happened at night. After Li Lin set up the altar, he successfully brought up the underworld's evil spirit.

However, apart from discussing the details of the transaction with Jiang Li, they did not say anything else.

After completing the transaction, he turned and left without even looking at the incense and offerings.

At this time, Jiang Li was looking at a pile of Nether Stones and tens of thousands of soul crystals on the ground in a daze.

"What's going on? These shady messengers don't even take kickbacks?"

Li Lin smiled awkwardly at this time, "Commander, you are joking. The senior who led the team is a senior from the 31st generation of our Maoshan. He has always been upright and honest, so he naturally won't take any kickbacks."

Jiang Li suddenly realized what was going on, "So that's how it is!"
