Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 156 The Discovery of New Talent
Jiang Bin's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and he quickly said, "That's great, Patriarch. If we can find a lighter and more durable material, our work efficiency will definitely be greatly improved."

Meng Zheng smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I will resolve this issue as soon as possible. Your work in the administrative department is very important. You must ensure that all government affairs proceed smoothly and provide strong support for the development of the territory."

Jiang Bin replied respectfully, "Yes, Patriarch. We will definitely continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."

"Jiang Bin," Meng Zheng said, "We need to develop a detailed plan for the construction of the sub-tribe. Does your administration have a plan?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bin immediately took out several drafts from the pile of documents and handed them to Meng Zheng.

He explained, "Chief, Cangmu and I have already discussed the construction of the sub-tribe and have drawn up some preliminary plans. These drafts detail the site selection, housing construction, public facilities layout, defensive fortification design, and personnel deployment of the sub-tribe."

Meng Zheng took the draft and read it carefully.

This tribal construction plan proposed several different housing options, including traditional mermaid huts, half-mountain residences adapted to the lake and mountain environment, and fortress-style residences that are easy to defend.

Obviously, this draft has made adjustments taking into full consideration the different terrains of lakes and mountains.

In the underwater world, building houses is already difficult. If there were no coral weavers, the house construction process would be thousands of times more complicated.

In the early stage of tribal planning, half-mountain residences are very good. You only need to dig a hole in the lake or mountain and use it as a temporary residence, laying the foundation for future development.

Meng Zheng nodded. The plan took into account the actual situation and needs of the tribe, which made him very satisfied.

"Jiang Bin, you've done a great job." Meng Zheng looked up at Jiang Bin, his eyes full of praise. "This draft fully demonstrates your careful consideration of the sub-tribe construction. The housing plan, in particular, takes into account both practicality and defensiveness, which is very suitable for our current needs."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bin smiled modestly, "You are too kind, Chief. We are simply fulfilling our duty and contributing our humble efforts to the development of the territory."

Meng Zheng carefully studied the design of the fortifications, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

He looked up at Jiang Bin and asked, "Jiang Bin, the design of these fortifications looks quite solid, but how should the formation be arranged?
The various defensive buildings in this draft are actually similar to those of the Canghai tribe.

However, Meng Zheng noticed that the entire branch tribe was built based on the lake and mountains, so the arrangement of the formation was extremely restricted due to the limited space.

If a powerful formation is not set up, no matter how good the tribe's defense facilities are, they will be like a tree without roots and can be easily destroyed by the enemy.

"Chief, the formation layout you mentioned is indeed a key issue," Jiang Bin said with a relaxed expression. "Since the branch tribe is located on a lake and mountain, space is limited, and the formation layout is indeed greatly restricted. However, Lord Cangyue and Cangmu have already considered this issue and proposed a solution." Jiang Bin pulled a large animal hide diagram from a thick pile of animal hide documents and spread it out in front of Meng Zheng. The diagram detailed the branch tribe's topography, building layout, and potential formation deployment points.

"Look, here's the preliminary plan for the formation layout based on the situation of the Lake and Mountain branch drawn by Patrol Yaksha." Jiang Bin pointed to several key points on the drawing. "We plan to arrange all the entrances and important buildings of the branch tribe into the core of the defensive formation. This will not only improve the stability of the formation, but also make full use of the spatial location of the lake and mountain.

Meng Zheng studied the drawings carefully and nodded in approval.

"Jiang Bin, your plan is very thoughtful." Meng Zheng praised.

"Are there any good talents recently?" Meng Zheng changed the subject and asked about talent reserves and other situations.

Dozens of mermaids are born every day, and Meng Zheng has no way to check them one by one. Jiang Bin is responsible for these. After screening, talented people will be reported to Meng Zheng.

For other more common cases or those already owned by the tribe, they will be assigned jobs directly.

Jiang Bin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he replied excitedly, "Chief, you've come at the right time. Our Government Affairs Department has recently discovered several new people with great potential. They are not only smart, but also very capable in handling government affairs. They are just still in the adaptation stage."

Meng Zheng became interested when he heard this: "Oh? Who are they? Introduce them to me!"

"Among them is a young merman named Cangming. He has shown extraordinary talent in handling government affairs. Not only is he quick-witted, but he also handles affairs in an orderly and efficient manner," Jiang Bin explained in detail. "I think he has great potential to become a key figure in our administrative department in the future."

Meng Zheng nodded. He always trusted Jiang Bin's recommendations. He said, "Cangming, I've remembered this name. You must train him well. The tribe really needs such talent."

Jiang Bin responded and continued to report, "There's another fishman named Gua La Gu. He's also a very good political talent. I've temporarily assigned him to assist You Cheng in handling the personnel deployment for Bi Bo Dao. He's doing a very good job.

"Oh? There are also murlocs?" This was a bit beyond Meng Zheng's expectations. In his impression, murlocs were not only cunning and cowardly, but also had low IQs.

It was already unexpected that a murloc king like Guluqua would emerge from the murloc tribe, but now there is another political talent.

"Yes, Chief, I discovered Gua La Gu when I was inspecting the supply reserves. He's quite intelligent. At that time, he was in charge of transporting supplies and managing resources. When I went there, I found everything was in perfect order, and he had even done classifications and statistics. After discovering this, I took him with me. After observing him for a while, I determined that he was indeed a good talent in government affairs." Jiang Bin's expression showed that he was obviously very surprised by the performance of this little fish man.
"Gualagu not only manages supplies in an orderly manner, but also demonstrates a keen sense for numbers and an excellent memory," Jiang Bin continued. "When it comes to allocating personnel for the Bibo rice, he's able to quickly calculate the optimal allocation plan, ensuring that each rice field has the right people, greatly improving production efficiency. Even more commendable, he proactively offers suggestions for improvement, such as introducing more efficient record-keeping methods to reduce manual errors."
