Two days later.

Zhao Yu added another 300 soldiers and a number of elite special forces. In the past two days, he had invested all his technology points into the training of his soldiers.

Now, he had more than 1000 soldiers under him. Most of them were just normal soldiers, up to 900 people. The remaining 100 were all special forces who had mastered various skills and specialized in one combat ability.

Apart from that, Zhao Yu had also trained a General of Brigade-level commander and four centurion commanders, ensuring that every soldier had someone capable of commanding them and would not be wasted.

If these 900 soldiers and the 100 elite soldiers were divided into red and blue teams, they would be able to practice.

Even with equal equipment, the outcome would definitely favor the elite soldiers, though they might have to pay a price.

Zhao Yu was pleasantly surprised by this realization.

He understood that in real battles, elite special forces should be the main force, with normal soldiers as support.

For day-to-day security at the base and camp, normal soldiers were sufficient.

After two days of reorganization, Zhao Yu expanded the guard team into a guard battalion, comprising two guard companies with a total of two hundred people.

These people were responsible for the security of the entire base and camp, including Wild Wolf Town.

In fact, Wild Wolf Town had been essentially emptied out. Over the past two days, Zhao Yu had moved everything he could, including the remaining 4000 workers to his camp.

Wild Wolf Town had become an empty shell, leaving only a few dozen soldiers and Meng Xian's people waiting for the Han family's envoy.

After two days of construction, the camp had started to take shape, with three residential areas and a commercial district.

The commercial district was located in the central area, currently only accessible to the 5000 workers in the camp and people from Meng House Village.

After careful consideration, Zhao Yu decided the management model of previous Wild Wolf Town was not viable. Though strict and oppressive, it failed to motivate the workers, and the surplus value extracted was limited.

Therefore, after some adjustments, he renamed his Zhao Family's fort to Zhao Family Town, granting the 5000 workers as resident status.

All residents worked a basic eight-hour workday with a base salary of 30 units of currency.

Additionally, he provided overtime pay, 5 units for each extra hour worked, with a maximum of six hours of overtime per day.

This way, workers who didn't want to do overtime could rest after their eight-hour shift, and those who wanted to earn more could work overtime.

Regarding the payment, Zhao Yu set up a card reader production line.

Similar to school meal cards, each resident had a card reader and an identity-bound resident card.

For transactions, they entered the amount and password on the reader to complete the transaction.

Zhao Yu had considered issuing paper money, but decided against it, fearing the risk of counterfeit currency and unnecessary trouble.

He also adjusted the prices of the meal. A meal at the canteen cost about 10 units, and a day's wages were enough for a worker's daily needs.

Of course, Zhao Yu's ability to successfully implement and expand this unique system in Zhao Family Town relied mainly on two things.

First was military force, sufficient to ensure order.

Second was an abundance of food.

He set up an official exchange window, where Zhao Family currency and Black Rock currency were exchanged at a one-to-one ratio.

Of course, only Meng House Village had Black Rock currency, and Meng Xian and her people were reluctant to exchange it for Zhao Family currency.

Zhao Yu was not in a hurry. As the camp grew stronger, perhaps it could eventually contend with Black Rock City.

At present, the windows he opened were mainly for the food and weapons areas, which were the most missing and most important parts.

After a brief experiment, when the 5000 workers used their wages to exchange for items in the weapon and food zones, the people's hearts gradually settled down.

Zhao Yu wasn't particularly skilled in urban planning, but he had enough common sense about it.

Before planning the town, he had already declared that all the land in Zhao Family Town was his property.

The current housing for the workers were dormitories, with 10 people per room, and Zhao Yu retained ownership.

Thus, Zhao Yu planned to use real estate to stimulate the town's economy.

Lower-level rulers only know how to exploit, gaining limited benefits.

Higher-level rulers, exploit quietly and subtly, yet they still receiving continuous applause.

The 5000 residents not only had no complaints but were praising Zhao Yu enthusiastically, proclaiming their willingness to die for him.

Of course, Zhao Yu took these words with a grain of salt. He preferred to govern through rules, seeing them as more reliable than people's hearts.

The changes in Zhao Family Town were noticed by Meng House Village as many people contemplating joining them.

However, due to respect for Meng Xian's status, they only discussed it privately and refrained from speaking openly about it.

Nevertheless, the people of Meng House Village were mostly active in Zhao Yu's camp these days.

The reason was simple: Meng House Village was too dilapidated and small, just a village in scale, lacking vibrancy.

In contrast, Zhao Yu's newly built camp was planned according to urban standards from the beginning.

Each residential area had sufficient green spaces and activity areas.

Even to stimulate the market, Zhao Yu had established a commercial district in advance..
