"Why didn't Gao Langjun go to the camp to hire a gentleman to teach those young and strong young men to read.
Not to mention that it is a position with a staffing position, and on weekdays, you can only teach and read in a warm room, and you can enjoy the benefits of Tianjin corvee. The most important thing is to get a food coupon, which is a great thing.
We are just the corvee labor service that can sweep the snow. We are old and weak and have no skills. We can't even get into the corvee labor service in Tianjin!"
The corvee service sighed, "Hey, I was born twenty years ago. It would be great if I were born in this life. Unfortunately, the King of Yan doesn't want me!"
Gao Jifu sighed at the corvee service, looking thin, but his body was strong.
Generally speaking, these people are the main force of corvee labor, but unexpectedly, Li Tai should not use them to recruit corvee labor.
Gao Jifu thought of this and said to the corvee service, "Langjun Zhang, do you think it is better to have corvee service with the King of Yan for a lifetime?"
"There are such good things in the world?" Zhang Ruihai looked at Gao Jifu and said,
"I have this connection, can I get into Gaoling's corvee service?
Sure enough, I was absolutely extraordinary when I saw Gao Langjun, but what does it have to do with the recruiting manager?"
"That's right!" Gao Jifu thought for a while but did not deny it, but said,
"But why did Langjun Zhang follow the King of Yan to perform labor service? Wouldn't it be better to go back to farm when the labor service is over?"
"You are indeed a rich family with a wealthy family. I think there are still a lot of thin acres of land in your family, so it seems that you are just nearby in Youzhou.
So I came to serve for one month and saved mediocre money from serving this service. When I was full this month, I would go back.
In the past, because of the long-term service, I should have taught me money and then exempted from corvee labor." This corvee labor embarked.
When Gao Jifu heard about Zhang's corvee words, Zhang Zhang said nothing more, but instead made accusation.
"I don't think you're holding a hoe. The habit of cleaning every day is to see something!"
Zhang Ruihai smiled proudly, but with a smile on his face, he said,
"Gao Langjun, after serving, go back to farm well. This stable world is better than saving more food at home!"
"Where are you, Brother Zhang!" Gao Jifu said, "Will you tease your grandson when you go back? Maybe you can get together!"
"I'd better take advantage of the shortage of people in the King of Yan to work more!" Zhang Ruihai said,
"A good official like the King of Yan may not be able to meet anyone in this life.
If you were not to save more when a good official like the King of Yan was there, if a corrupt official came to Yan, you would be afraid that you would want to escape from the famine and you would not even prepare the food on the way."
"Is King Yan a good official?" Gao Jifu said in a daze when he heard Zhang Ruihai's words.
"Of course he is a good official!" Zhang Feihai affirmed, "Brother Gao, this is your first time doing the corvee service, so I don't know.
But my brother, when the Emperor of Sui fought in Liaodong, he sent food to the army at that time. Don’t talk about that day. I feel that God will bless you to think about living.
In the Zhenguan Dynasty, the saints were good saints and officials were also good officials, but the court asked us to carry out corvee labor, so we also asked us to bring our own dry food, prepare clothes, and go to corvee labor!
But now that the King of Yan is calling for labor service, you have also swept the snow here for a few days. Tell me, what is the King of Yan doing to us when working in the King of Yan!”
"I just take care of the food for two meals. Because I have been in the winter, I have prepared a few cotton coats that I have to return after all. Pour this daily hot water, which is a good rule. If it is not for this hot water, I don't know how to spend this winter!" Gao Jifu sighed.
road.
Hearing Gao Jifu's words, Zhang Xieye's face turned cold and said, "You are lucky.
Although I can’t do things myself and have a foundation in my ancestors, I have never done hard work. This King of Yan is a great official. How can I tolerate your evaluation like this?
Do you think anyone can eat steamed buns for two meals when doing corvee? When I first built the Grand Canal for the previous dynasty, how many people worked because they were not full, and they were so busy that they coughed up blood.
Even in the Zhenguan Dynasty today, the times in the labor service were not prepared by themselves.
Not to mention the consumption of corvee labor, just the food, salt, cloth shoes, clothes consumed on this road, and when will the imperial court report it?
They only care whether we have gone to labor service or not, and they want to send a sting to force us to work with whips."
When Zhang Yaohai said this, his expression was a little excited, and his words were even more choked.
"Langjun Zhang..." Gao Jifu looked at this scene and was a little stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Zhang Ruihai would be angry!
No, are you chatting well?
Today's saints are good saints, officials are good officials, and there is no corvee service like Emperor Yang of Sui.
Why did you get angry after working under the King of Yan for a few days? Gao Jifu was confused!
"Oh, Gao Langjun, I'm a little out of my composure!" Zhang Ruihai came back to his senses and murmured,
"You, although your family is in decline, you have encountered a good era and can read. You will definitely be more promising than me in the future!
Unlike me, if I want to become a corvee service in Tianjin, I can’t get the staff even if I get it. I’m afraid I can only serve the corvee service, so I might leave!"
"...Is Tianjin corvee good?" Gao Jifu listened to Zhang corvee's words, but was a little confused.
"Okay, that's good!" Zhang Feiwei said, "Tianjin's corvee is different from the corvee we recruited.
They can eat three meals a day, and even fresh fish soup is included in the meals, and they even have mutton for half a month.
Although it was just a small bowl of mutton soup, and each person got a piece of meat, it was mutton!
The King of Yan even bought clothes for each person, including two sets of hemp clothes in summer and two sets of cotton clothes in winter. Even the houses they lived in were a kang room with two people.
More importantly, as long as Tianjin corvee labor is available every week, you can get food coupons in storage and get food in storage.
Not only does the labor service not spend food, but you can also receive food. Gao Langjun, are you a good official? Is this a good rule?"
"What King Yan did is naturally good..." Gao Jifu's voice naturally lowered, but said,
"But only the King of Yan can do this. At other times, the country can only recruit corvee labor and let corvee labor bring its own dry food!"
Zhang Feihai was a little excited and said, "That's the reason!"
There is only one good official in the world who can be like the King of Yan. I am so stupid to give us low-cost labor and food... good official!
So, Gao Langjun, you are lucky. Once you go out to work in labor, you will meet such a good official.
For us corvee labor, wouldn’t it be a blessing for many lifetimes to meet such a good official?
If you don’t work hard while the good officials are here and save more food, are you still waiting for such a good official to leave and then die!”
When Gao Jifu faced a small calculation like Zhang Ruiye, he suddenly became aware of it.
Obviously, Zhang Feiwei also knew that people like the King of Yan were definitely not the norm.
Their vision made them unable to see why the King of Yan did this, and even themselves did not know it.
It is obvious that corvee labor is usually done, so why did the King of Yan give corvee food?
But these lower-level corvee workers sometimes know more about calculation than the upper-level bureaucrats.
Because the officials made a mistake in calculations, they might just lose their positions, but the people below calculated how to survive.
Under such circumstances, the people finally saw such a stupid good official who exchanged food for their own labor. Why didn't they work hard?
After all, for the people of the world, isn’t this the most basic thing to be willing to live with labor?
In comparison, the food paid by the King of Yan is the most precious thing in this world.
For stupid people like the King of Yan, they have only met Li Tai from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to now.
In this case, what reason did they have not worked hard for the King of Yan? It was not a matter of beheading and rebellion, it was just a labor service.
In the entire Youzhou, facing the conditions offered by the King of Yan, if it were not for their own conditions, it would be impossible to meet the standards. Who wouldn’t want to work for the King of Yan?
I am willing to work for the King of Yan, but I am afraid that the King of Yan will not want it!
Zhang Ruihou pulled Lagao Ji Fu, and he was extremely envious.
"Mr. Gao Lang, please read your words well and study hard. Even if you do corvee labor, the King of Yan will only collect corvee labor who can read and read.
I can't learn anymore. If I have the chance, can I let my child know you about a few words, "You can also become a Tianjin corvee service!"
When Gao Jifu heard Zhang's words, he was silent for a while and said, "When the labor service is over, Langjun Zhang will send the child!"
When Zhang Ruihai heard Gao Jifu's words, his expression was dim, but he said in a deep voice, "Okay!"
Zhang Feihai felt that Gao Langjun had rejected his proposal. After all, when the corvee was over, Gao Langjun was afraid that his experience of life would end. Who would know him then?
However, Zhang Feihai was not bothered. After all, it was not easy for people like the lower class to learn to read.
I only try to get some of the children. Since it doesn’t work, I can see if I can try to arrange it in the corvee service.
After all, the King of Yan seems to like young people, and his children are also young, so they are still taught to read.
Although Gao Jifu was just a job of sweeping snow and spreading salt in this camp, Gao Jifu was a smart person who chatted with the corvee workers from time to time or observed Li Tai's corvee policy.
Compared with the fact that the corvee workers were working purely for the sake of making a living, Gao Jifu clearly discovered that Li Tai had clearly controlled the corvee work in a layered manner.
The first thing is the corvee service he was recruited by the court. Although it should be the lowest treatment in the entire corvee service group, the people are still willing to accept it.
After all, in the middle of winter, hiding in your own home is purely a consumption of food.
But it is different here. Although only two meals are included, at least you can get enough, so the people are naturally very happy.
Some of the corvee labor even said that they were tenant farmers after the service period ended, and they had nothing to do when they returned in the middle of winter. Let me stay and continue to corvee labor.
The King of Yan did not refuse and continued to let them do it, but these people also issued food coupons, but the amount of food coupons was not large. It was only five kilograms of corn for a week. But even so, these people were grateful.
These corvee labor is the most basic and complicated. Almost everything is done, but most of them are basic tasks, such as sweeping snow, spreading salt, carrying, etc. As long as you are alone, you can do things.
It was handed over to these corvee labor.
After that, there was a formal corvee service. These people took Gaoling corvee service, which was originally brought by the King of Yan from Gaoling as the backbone, and those local corvee service that passed the assessment after study were as their wings. They had strict systems and weekly updates.
surface.
Every morning, the team leader and deputy team leader in the corvee service start to arrange the work of the day. The amount of the work is clearly displayed and reasonably arranged on each corvee service.
To be honest, this kind of assignment of work tasks, especially the specific tasks that each person does, was really rare in previous corvee labor.
As the team leader of the work, he will also increase or decrease the work tasks according to the status of each corvee in every organization every day, so that everyone can complete their work tasks as much as possible.
And if you complete the best corvee team every week, you will even be rewarded. Needless to say, you can enjoy a meat meal at least on the first day of the week, and seeing other corvee teams is drooling.
To be honest, it is not surprising that Gao Jifu has such distribution ability. Gao Jifu is wondering why the people at the bottom of the class have such incredible execution ability under the King of Yan, at least the corvee service under his subordinates is completely impossible.
Soon Gao Jifu discovered that in addition to these two layers of corvee labor, there was a third special corvee labor among Li Tai's corvee labor force. They were very young and were basically students from agricultural institutions.
But no one in the entire corvee service system will underestimate them because they will teach corvee service to read and arithmetic!
Yes, starting from the initial ordinary corvee service, the younger ones were to receive teaching from these students, educate them to learn literacy and arithmetic.
It is almost like knowing about fifty common characters for corvee labor, as well as addition and subtraction within one hundred, plus their own names, and before the age of thirty, they can basically pass preliminary screening to become corvee labor.
But the age of corvee service will be further subdivided, among which corvee service will be selected before the age of 20 again.
They will go further, such as teaching them more about writing and mathematics, especially about work assignments.
Gao Jifu could naturally see that it would be too difficult to master these things at once.
But even so, Li Tai would ask students from the Agricultural Institution to teach these people for an hour every night, and there were burning charcoal fires next to them, but King Yan was quite involved.
If you are unwilling to learn, you can give up, and Li Tai never forces you.
But Li Tai also clearly stated that if they want to become a team leader, this is their only chance.
So even though it is very difficult to learn, these young corvee workers still gritted their teeth and started to learn.
Seeing these corvee laborers living and working in peace and contentment in the camp founded by the King of Yan, Gao Jifu also left silently after completing his corvee laborers.
Back at the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, Gao Jifu saluted Du Ruhui, who was handling government affairs, "Pu She, I'm back!"
