Chapter 305: System Arrangements
“Your Majesty, the reports from the military camps in all cities have arrived.”
As she spoke, a secretary gently placed a stack of reports on Luo Ji’s desk.
“Understood.”
Luo Ji rubbed his temples.
He knew the content of the reports without even looking.
The continuous campaigns had resulted in a large number of injured soldiers within his civilization, many of whom were no longer able to serve.
According to the retirement system Luo Ji had previously implemented, the military was obligated to arrange jobs for retired soldiers.
Normally, with a dozen or 20 soldiers retiring, job placement was quite easy.
However, after every major war, thousands of soldiers often faced retirement issues.
After retirement, continuing to serve as a new recruit instructor in the military camp was probably the most desired job for many veterans.
On one hand, the military camp was the place they were most familiar with, and on the other hand, instructors received quite good salaries.
However, typically one instructor could lead a batch of 100 to 200 new recruits simultaneously.
In other words, the military camp simply didn’t need that many instructors.
A military camp in a city, with a dozen or 20 instructors, was already sufficient, more would be meaningless.
Yet, there were so many retired soldiers applying for instructor positions.
Out of helplessness, they could only rely on actual ability.
Luo Ji immediately added another decree, instructor positions in military camps, when vacant, would be given priority to retired soldiers who had served in multiple battles and had higher military merits.
To put it simply, if you were just a rookie who got injured and retired after one battle, how could you teach other new recruits? Did you have that capability?
Undoubtedly, this clause was accepted by all soldiers and immediately reduced the number of applicants for instructor positions by 70%.
But this was only the beginning.
Fewer retired soldiers applying for instructor positions did not mean fewer retired soldiers applying for job arrangements.
At this moment, Luo Ji deeply realized that fighting a war was truly not easy.
Before the war, there was the mobilization of troops, the stockpiling of provisions, and the forging of weapons and equipment, not to mention how exhausting it was during the desperate fighting.
But now, after the war, comforting the families of fallen soldiers, arranging jobs for injured retired soldiers, and supplementing new forces, a myriad of tasks still caused immense headaches.
Luo Ji originally intended to leave these matters to the city garrisons and branch city lords for discussion and arrangement.
However, after some time, apart from Zhao Pan and Guo Jia, who had everything settled, the other cities sent “distress” reports, stating that the sheer number of people made arrangements impossible!
There was no helping it, these individuals were indeed difficult to place.
At this critical juncture, most of the soldiers who needed to retire were doing so due to injuries.
Given this, could they be assigned to work in logging teams or mining teams? Obviously not!
And they apparently couldn’t handle jobs requiring certain delicate skills, such as those in paper mills or weaving workshops.
Therefore, finding suitable work was truly challenging.
Luo Ji, also realizing this situation, promptly issued another decree, retired soldiers who did not require military assistance for job placement could receive an additional compensation payment.
It had to be said, this decree was effective.
After it was issued, the pressure of arranging work in various cities significantly decreased.
And now, Luo Ji intends to introduce a new system, the police system!
Originally, each city already had patrol teams, whose duties were equivalent to those of modern society’s police.
What Luo Ji was doing now was simply further refining this system.
This would both facilitate job placements for a portion of retired soldiers and reduce the crime rate within his Myriad Worlds Civilization, contributing to the peaceful development of the territory.
It was truly a win-win situation.
“Phew—”
After delegating the establishment of the police system, Luo Ji, having temporarily finished all his immediate tasks, couldn’t help but stretch.
He then opened his friends list and sent a message to Ye Qingxuan.
“How are the farm horses I traded to you earlier?”
Although Ye Qingxuan’s territory had many poultry resources like chickens and ducks, it currently lacked horse resources.
And Luo Ji, after defeating Zhou Dongnan, had just acquired farm horses skilled in transportation and farming, so he directly traded a batch to her.
About 10 minutes later, Ye Qingxuan sent a string of hearts.
“Honestly, for farm horses like these, I’ll take as many as you have!”
“Alright, I’ll send you another batch in a while.”
Seeing this, Luo Ji replied with a smile.
This could be described as their regular contact.
On one hand, it was to confirm each other’s safety, and on the other, it was to conduct a series of resource trades.
Of course, another reason was to help Ye Qingxuan gain trade points.
In her words, she could earn trade points based on the number and volume of transactions.
Luo Ji’s Myriad Worlds Civilization, as the maintainer of her long-term trade relations, naturally became an important channel for her to accumulate points.
“Oh, by the way, here’s a gift for you~”
Along with this message, Ye Qingxuan opened a trade window.
Luo Ji casually clicked on it and saw a small item displayed in the trade window opposite him.
Luo Ji didn’t think much of it and simply clicked “confirm.”
Only after taking the small item from his backpack did he realize that what Ye Qingxuan had traded him was a piece of jet-black jade.
The smooth, warm feeling in his hand, even to Luo Ji, who knew nothing about jade, made it clear that this thumb-sized piece of jade would be incredibly valuable in modern times.
The entire jade piece was carved into a small, jet-black fish.
For this era, the craftsmanship was extremely exquisite. After playing with it for a while, Luo Ji very clearly realized he had come to like this small, jet-black fish, and he also realized something else.
“You found a jade resource?”
“Is that your first reaction?”
At this moment, Ye Qingxuan, far away in another world, instinctively touched the pure white jade fish hanging around her neck, then pouted unhappily.
Despite her unhappiness, she eventually replied.
“Yes, do you need jade resources? Thinking of making luxury goods?”
For a practical person, jade and practicality were hardly related.
The only thing Ye Qingxuan could think of was selling it as a luxury item.
“Yes, I currently need a batch of luxury goods to get the particularly wealthy people to spend their money.”
Ye Qingxuan understood Luo Ji’s situation in an instant and quite frankly said.
“OK, no problem. Do you want jade ornaments, or raw jade directly?”
“It’s best if they can be made into ornaments.”
After sending this, Luo Ji, as if remembering something else, touched the little black fish in his hand and sent another message.
“Also, I really like the gift.”
“Hehehe~”
Seeing this message, the corner of Ye Qingxuan’s mouth, which had been pouting, slowly curved into a smile.
“Remember to wear it close to you, that jade can nourish a person.”
“Understood.”
