Doom Lord

Chapter 50- Plans

Prior to transferring personnel, Cheng Yang gathered Yu Kai and the other four team captains to discuss Luo Feng Village next layout.

Soon, Yu Kai and the others came inside the only level 2 residence within Luo Feng Village. They each found a stool and sat down.

Cheng Yang said, "A moment ago, our territory's profession statues has been upgraded to level 3, so now each statue can transfer up to 200 people. As a result, your troop count will soon surge again. However, we're also faced with a problem, by having numerous people it will inevitably increase the difficulty of management. In this regard, do you have any good suggestion?"

Yu Kai and the others looked at each other, as they weren't very knowledgeable in this field.

Lee Wanshan at this time said, "Lord, I think you should set the profession teams in a hierarchy, so that it is more convenient to manage. Prior to this, the number of people on each team were only 40 people, but with only a team captain and vice-captain managing the team, it can be quite difficult. Not to mention the troop increased later on."

Cheng Yang said, "This is indeed a problem. Should we use the military rank for now? Or prepared using the ancient army rank?"

Yu Kai said, "Yangzi, why must we fully adopt the ancient army system? Why not make a new system instead? We can set it up this way, ten people can be counted as a platoon. A squadron is composed of four platoons. A brigade is composed of between three and five squadrons. This is a simpler way of managing things."

Cheng Yang said, "That may be so, but what about after brigade? According to what you said, a brigade can at most have only 200 professions. This system is suitable for our current situation, but not when our village further increased its population."

Liu Hao said, "How about above the brigade level we use battalion. The leader of a battalion is called a commander. Above the battalion level...that could be called a division. Was there not a so-called division in ancient times? The leader of a division can be called a general."

Niu Bing said, "Hao, such a division at most would only have several thousand people. To be called a general when managing several thousand people is a little over the top, don't you think? In the future what if there were tens of thousands of people, or several hundred thousand people? What would that be called? Would they all be called Admiral? Or Generalissimo?"

"......" Liu Hao smiled embarrassingly. He was choked on white goods by Niu Bing, and found it embarrassing to refute.

Cheng Yang said, "Let's not consider this problem for now. The title of general in ancient times doesn't have a standard, some may be in name* only, while some are even higher than an Admiral. Now it's too early for us to worry about this issue. At least for the next six months, I'm afraid it's difficult for us to develop to that kind of scale...... [T/N: They are called general but have no real authority.]

Do you have any good suggestion? Everyone can speak freely. So long as it's good for the development of the territory, I will adopt it."

After a brief hesitation, Lee Wanshan said, "Lord, I don't think it's appropriate for you to serve as team captain, you are after all the Lord. The title of team captain isn't suitable for you. It's like an Emperor giving himself the title of General, it's kinda redundant."

"This......" Cheng Yang suddenly pondered over the issue, and after a long time, said, "Your proposal is correct, I'm really not fit to be a team captain. These past few days, although I am named a team captain, I rarely move together with the team. Let's do it like this, in a while I will announce the position of team captain be ceded over to Zhao Chuan. I think the way he managed the team these past few days had been very good, so he is suited to be the team captain."
