The rain was a little lighter on the second day of the rainy season. According to Elder Jiwayo, it was like this when the rainy season first came. A heavy rain often rained for a few days. As long as the past week, the grass on the grassland will be green.

Originally, Zhou Jiping thought that hunting was not necessary in this season, and it should not be possible. However, after asking Elder Jivayo, Zhou Jiping learned that the rainy season is also called the "Wildebeest Season" of the Imara Grassland. It is because wildebeests return to the Imara Grassland in this season and reproduce the next step of wildebeests.

These wildebeests migrated from the north have already walked thousands of kilometers. They have endured the torture of thirst, the pursuit of wild beasts, and the long journey has made their physical strength reach their limits. Therefore, when they cross the Corinne River, a large number of them will die; and after reaching the grassland, some thin ones will die; then, in the process of giving birth to wildebeests, another group of bad luck will die, and at this time of year, that is, in the first month and a half of the rainy season, the wildebeest meat in the Imara grassland cannot be eaten.

However, the wildebeest season has not yet arrived. The wildebeests need to wait for about a week to start the rainy season before returning to the Imara grasslands with the smell of rain. At that time, people almost don’t have to hunt, just wait for the dangerous place on the Corinne River.

Another thing to be busy with is agriculture, the rainy season camp in Damon, which was the main season that determines crop yield. As long as some seeds are planted in time during this season, the entire rainy season is basically no longer managed. People just wait for the end of the rainy season to pick them.

In Soyo, this situation seems to be better. Originally, the soil here is fertile than elsewhere, and the terrain here is relatively higher, so people don’t have to worry about the problem of waterlogging. The ground has not been damaged by other animals and humans in recent years. It seems that you just need to wait for the end of the rainy season to harvest.

However, Zhou Jiping doesn't think so, although Zhou Jiping himself hasn't planted much land, as a senior high school student, he still knows that plants need not only water and land, but also enough sunlight and air. Now in the farmland where various crops are crowded with weeds, how can such a plot achieve high yield?

Especially after consulting Elder Givayo, Zhou Jiping decided to use the human resources of the entire Soyo Town, which would create the best training atmosphere for the field platoon and the training of the Free Army.

Zhou Jiping first made a simple distribution of the farmland around Soyo Town, and the Damon tribes and other tribes distributed fairly according to the number of people. Then, the farmland affiliated with Damon was delegated to various small tribes, and the tribes organized the forces mainly women to farm.

The main content of ploughing is: remove unnecessary and over-tight crops and weeds and dig out the excess tubers and directly serve as tribal food. As for the specific operation method, Zhou Jiping brought a few people who often manage tribal farmland to the fields where the water has not yet completely penetrated, and personally demonstrated it to them. Of course, Zhou Jiping had no time to take care of this work, so he directly handed it over to the elder Ejia to take charge of the matter.

Regarding the issue of animal husbandry, Zhou Jiping had a little fun. He found François directly. After some negotiations, François, who had been determined to be a cowherd, agreed to Zhou Jiping's opinion on changing grazing to animal husbandry. Under Zhou Jiping's authorization, he gathered all the livestock belonging to the Damon tribe and arranged special personnel to go to the grassland to mow grass to raise livestock. As for the animal husbandry methods of other tribes, Zhou Jiping did not force them to do so. Anyway, it would be better to have a comparison to show that he, the chief, was very high and far.

For the upcoming wildebeest season, Zhou Jiping also made a plan. He planned to conduct a national training and combine it with the wildebeest season to strive for military training and produce both. However, there are still a few days left before the arrival of wildebeest season. These days, Zhou Jiping happened to arrange a national training competition.

As for the purpose and significance of this training competition, Zhou Jiping also explained to the residents of the tribes living in Soyo in advance that the first is the principle of voluntariness - no matter which tribe they are from, they can participate in the second. The purpose of the competition is to select the best and most powerful soldiers from the existing tribe residents, and absorb them into the field platoon and the free army. In the future, they will be the ones to protect the safety of Soyo Town.

Zhou Jiping also stated that for those who performed poorly and could not adapt to field platoons and the training of the Free Army, Soyo will set up militias and militias to cooperate with the Free Army to defend Soyo's security. At the same time, these militias still have the opportunity to enter the Free Army.

Of course, Zhou Jiping did not forget the issue of treatment - anyone who has been assessed to meet the standards of the Free Army will enjoy the treatment of a hunter; those who meet the standards of the field platoon enjoy the treatment of a hunting captain and hold a considerable position in the Free Army and the Field platoon will be recorded uniformly. As the future achievements of these families, Zhou Jiping's purpose is to create a positive atmosphere and attract more outstanding tribal warriors to join the Free Army. Although the training and competition of the tribe are voluntarily participated by all Soyo residents, in fact, when selecting and identifying, some older and married people are ranked behind the younger ones, better physical fitness and stronger comprehension are ranked first.

After the entire Soyo suppression, Zhou Jiping began the basic training of these people. The content is very simple, but it is just some of the most basic subjects in the training of recruits, such as queues, physical fitness, shooting, etc. Of course, the shooting here is not real gun shooting, but three stances of fifty meters were shot with crossbows. But even so, for many people who have only used spears, this is an eye-opener.

The training camp only lasted for three days, and on the fourth day, the competition began - this is exactly what Zhou Jiping's purpose is. He needs to find the people with the fastest learning and understanding ability, and absorb them into the Free Army.

The content of the competition is actually very simple. First of all, every person who participates in the competition must run a large circle around Suoyue Town on a pre-demarcated road outside Suoyue Town. The distance is about three kilometers. However, it is not easy to run this large circle on a muddy road that has not completely penetrated the water. Although Zhou Jipingyi emphasized the issue of physical fitness distribution before this, when the actual competition, some simple-minded officials were still eliminated after exhausting their physical fitness early. There is no way, these people who cannot use their brains must be eliminated. This is also the basic requirement of the war.

The entire competition lasted for nearly a day. After a series of assessments such as long-distance running, spear throwing, crossbow shooting, queues, etc., the first batch of qualified Free Army soldiers were selected, and some young and energetic and strong comprehension people were absorbed into the field platoon. Such as Gudiri, Buko, Muen and others were all on the list. In addition, some particularly strong-bodied young people were also absorbed into the field platoon. Duka, Bafada, and Yitongba, who had dealt with Zhou Jiping in the Englo Valley, were also successfully selected.
