Early the next morning, after completing daily training in the escort camp, all the soldiers in the entire camp were mobilized.
It's really exciting.
Except for the one named Shen Tianci, no matter how hard the training in the guard camp was, they all still slept like dead pigs.
Then, the guards in the camp were not polite at all. They just used the cloth straps of leggings, braided them like whips, and whipped them from barracks to barracks...
One thing is that these rotten people did it. They dragged their families with them, but they didn't move their families into the camp. Instead, they built another refugee-like shed not far away, which served as a residence.
Sigh...Zhao Xi really knows what it feels like to feel sorry for his misfortune and to be angry at him.
This time was the only time Zhao Xi gave an order with force. He did not let these idiots choose. If they were given a choice, they would most likely choose to eat while lying down, rather than paving roads or blowing up mountains.
Let Shen Tianci, this is considered a God-given opportunity, it depends on whether he can seize it.
Ask Shen Tianci to find all the ten generals, generals, wardens, etc., and directly assign them to live.
Just pointing at people's heads and arranging their business.
Those who blast mountains, those who make wood, those who make wood, those who make gravel, those who pave roads, those who pad pillows with sleepers, and finally those who wrap iron sheets... all need training.
I also told them that they would come once a month to collect work and give them money, new money.
However, if items are lost due to their negligence during this period, they must compensate...
"You get paid by working? Not by doing labor?"
Shen Tianci didn't believe it. When did you get paid for working? If you didn't get deducted while working, it would be God's fault.
"From today on, you are no longer soldiers of the Xiang Army Forbidden Army, but members of the Railroad Construction Company. You no longer eat military rations, and you all make money by working."
"Military Lord..."
"Shut up! Tell you that you are no longer soldiers. Why are you shouting?"
"That...that...didn't you say there are still three years?"
I really don’t know the right thing to call, so let’s leave it at that. Anyway, the guards in the camp don’t care what they call, except for the title of military leader.
"I didn't say I wouldn't care about you in the past three years. No... I just left the food and grass for you. No one touched it, so I just left it there."
As for those military rations, as His Royal Highness the Prince said, if you are feeding pigs, you are worried about eating the pigs to death. Who can take it seriously?
"Is this food ours? And then we will be paid for the labor?"
Still don't believe it. It's just that no one paid attention to him.
Shen Tianci did not believe it. How should I put it? After all, he was a ten general. The reason why he was not taken away by Du Yuhou was because he was a ten general who relied on his ability and popularity, and was not Du Yuhou's confidant.
Being able to get along with the ten generals is because Shangguan uses them as a shield to suppress these bad people. This is the case for these ten generals and generals who are left here.
I didn’t expect such a good thing to happen!
"Can you read?"
Shen Tianci shook his head desperately. Who would be a soldier if he wanted to be literate? He had already taken the imperial examination.
"Okay, from today on, I will tell you to memorize every sentence, and after memorizing the regulations, we will start working."
The articles of association written by His Royal Highness are all country slang, and everyone can understand them.
This kind of scene is going on in the entire camp. About one or two hundred people choose one or two people to temporarily take charge of the affairs. At this time, I have no intention of choosing any wise people. Besides, is there any wise person among this group of rotten people?
Maybe, but Zhao Xi was too lazy to put in the effort. After years of stirring the pot, if he really had some ability, he should have shown it.
There shouldn't be any problems, Zhao Xi did it in great detail.
The entire track is laid into a complete assembly line operation. Each type of work is a separate accounting group, and each component has fixed standards.
Those who make sleepers can reject the work of making wood because they are unqualified, and those who lay foundations can also reject the work of gravel, because the final settlement depends on the overall effect.
Maybe these rotten people don't care about other things. When it comes to money and food, they are not Shangshang. Even among colleagues, they will not compromise and may be quite strict.
Just look at the situation in this grain and grass depot. It is obviously the result of mutual supervision.
The work is designated, but the people to be used are not designated, and the number of people to be used is not designated. To put it bluntly, it leaves them a loophole for internal cliques and competition, which is also the motivation for work.
Being attracted by money and food is more useful than relying on human supervision.
It also emphatically stated that if no one works, the guard camp will burn all three years of food and grass without hesitation...
Zhao Xi has no plans to cut down trees in the Qinling Mountains... The water and soil in the Central Plains are already in chaos, so there is no need to increase the burden here.
The transportation team that was temporarily set up due to the new currency is still there, but they are just allowed to transport wood in addition to copper ore.
The copper-iron mine is not urgent now and can be taken care of.
Regardless of Jingchu, Chengdu, or even Dali, which is a little further away, most of them are now mountains and forests, and there is really no shortage of trees.
Zhao Xi always treats people as human beings and prepares for the future. Even for this group of rotten people, he has also planned their living areas... There is a cement factory here, plus rail stations, and national highways.
The inn may not be able to become a small town in the future.
Then let's see if this puddle of mud can stick to the wall.
Three days, three days is three days. Regardless of whether these rotten people can memorize the regulations or not, the escort camp is about to leave.
The response has been pretty good.
There is actually not much difference between people themselves. Except for those with extraordinary talents, ordinary people are still ordinary people. It is just that they cannot choose their birth, which leads to different identities and statuses later on.
That's how it is in this day and age.
With no heel and no merit in battles, it is still somewhat good to be able to show his face among these scum. At least he has memorized the regulations in three days and can still understand them.
At this time, Zhao Xi really felt that bad people might be able to achieve success.
There is a saying in later generations: Platform is very important. The achievements of students in the same class ten years later are more determined by their platform.
And Zhao Xi has built a platform for a group of bad people.
Further south is Xiangzhou, and the second receiving point is also in Xiangzhou.
The situation is much better. After all, the seat of the state capital is located and the governor of the state is Wang Su.
Although the imperial court specified the numbers of the Xiang troops allocated, there was still room for manipulation when it came to specific locations.
Wang Su didn't want to make His Highness the Crown Prince look too ugly in front of his house, so at least he said that he was almost a member of the family now.
Therefore, he deployed some people and also sent people to rectify this group of useless people during this period.
Wang Su knew Zhao Xi's idea, and he even convinced one of his staff to directly manage this group of useless people.
Also, Zhao Xi should not only use these people to lay tracks, but more importantly, let them take on the management of the port.
So this time Zhao Xi had to worry a lot less and didn't even participate in the guard camp.
It was only at Wang Su's request that the guard battalion trained the garrisoned imperial troops.
