Chapter 542: Sweating Like Rain

The teenagers widely publicized it, making it clear that this time it was the Son of Heaven who mobilized hundreds of thousands of laborers to carry the river in order to work for relief.

Dongpinghou, as the executor, ensures that everyone can get food and wages on a full stomach, but only people who are willing to work this construction site are needed, and they can't get along at all.

I had never seen a good thing of getting paid before the work began, and the laborers immediately shouted the emperor's grace, and they all said that as long as they could get food, they would definitely work hard.

The next question is not whether the common people trust the river project initiated by the emperor's decree, but whether the "Red Banner Army" teenagers and the officials and officials of the local government are looking for people who do not contribute to the work on the construction site.

On the first day, more than 100 people were sentenced to passive labor and expelled from the ranks of laborers, recovering their advance wages.

For three days in a row, people were driven out, and immediately there were strong laborers to fill the gaps.

It didn't take long for the fact that they could really eat three meals and get food and wages to participate in the river, and many families who already had men serving in the river still hoped that the strong labor of the family would participate in the river.

It is already a luxury to be able to eat enough in the service, and it is simply a blessing to be able to earn back money and food, but it is a pity that it is basically a one-family-one-ding labor, and now it is full, and without anyone being fired, many young and middle-aged people who come to try their luck are rejected.

The laborers carried their own bedding, and countless tents and shacks were erected in the leeward part of the embankment for the laborers to stay, and the "Red Banner Army" also hired some women to boil potatoes and sweet potatoes to boil water.

All people, including officials and officials, were forbidden to drink raw water, and medical soldiers would provide treatment to those with headaches and brain fevers within their ability, and those who were found to be in the wrong situation would be isolated to prevent the outbreak of infectious diseases.

The laborers at the river-picking construction site were afraid of losing the job opportunity to get enough food and food, and no one wanted to be judged as passive labor by the patrolling officials and "Red Banner Army" teenagers.

With motivation, there is no need to worry about inefficiency, and under the organization of the "Red Banner Army" and local governments, hundreds of thousands of laborers sweat like rain on hundreds of thousands of miles of rivers.

It only took seven days for the teenagers to master the method of calculating the earthwork of the bishop and taking care of it.

This arrangement is all the more motivating, because those who are hard at work are whipped fast, and they work at the same time as those who work unhurriedly.

But after each man's approval of the earthwork, the strong men who worked hard and with quick hands and feet were able to rest for three hours, and if they wished to continue to work, they would be paid extra wages.

People who are physically weak or slow to do things may need more than five hours to complete the ration.

After adopting this method, the work efficiency has increased by 10% under the condition that the number of people and the remuneration remain the same, and the management is much simpler.

Because grinding foreign uniforms has become self-deception, too much labor has become active work, striving to complete the workload as soon as possible, and there is no need for supervision to finish the work early, and the managers are naturally relaxed and happy.

Dredging the river channel will not only reduce flood pressure and drought resistance, but also transform a lot of fertile land into the dug silt.

Therefore, many landlords along the river also brought many tenants to the construction site, not to pick up the river, but to take the opportunity to consolidate their own acres.

However, because there was an example of food and remuneration for the laborers of the river, and it was stipulated by the grace of the Son of Heaven, the landlord Lao Cai had to adopt this standard to give the tenants grain and copper money.

The purpose of launching a large project is to let the common people get food and wages, and the landlords and old money come to join in the excitement so that more people can benefit, and naturally everyone is happy.

At the beginning of September, Xu Mingyang, who was promoted to Jingzhou after reporting to Beijing, went south to take office, he had no son, and now the two concubines have become the concubines of the Marquis of Dongping, and they went to Huguang to be an official, and they don't know when they will be able to see their daughters.

Xu Mingyang deliberately did not take the official ship along the Grand Canal to the south to reach Yangzhou, and then sailed west against the river to Jingzhou, but came to Houjiazhuang by land, the purpose of course to get together with his daughter for another day or two.

Xu Mingyang is not a corrupt official, in order to stick to Pingshun, he took out all his private property, and the dowry given to his two daughters is actually equivalent to returning the dowry sent by Qin Yanyi.

After serving the four maids of the sisters as a dowry, the population of the Xu family is now even smaller, except that the couple only has three family members, a scholar, two mothers and so on.

Huang Han happened to take his sister Hua to guide the storage of autumn grain in Houjiazhuang and the large project of picking up the river that had begun, and learned that Xu Mingyang came to visit his daughter and temporarily held a banquet for his father-in-law in the completed Zhongyi Fort.

Xu Mingyang was promoted two levels in a row and was full of ambition, seeing that the two daughters were radiant, knowing that the two sisters were living a comfortable life, the old man was very relieved, and he was happy to drink and chat with Huang Han.

Huang Han quietly pulled Xu Ruoyan and asked her to stuff her mother with five thousand taels of silver tickets, and Xiao Nizi was moved to tears when she saw that Hou Ye was so considerate.

Mrs. Xu took the hands of the two sisters and asked long and short questions, she didn't expect that the eldest daughter would give her such a huge amount of money, and learned that it was not her daughter who made her own opinion, but Hou Ye specially instructed her daughter to do so, so she no longer shirked and accepted it.

Going to Jingzhou, where she is not familiar with her life, although she has an official residence to live in, she also has to buy a lot of daily necessities, and there are more than a dozen people in a large family to spend, Mrs. Xu really can't do it without some silver in her hand, but she said it clearly that this silver is temporarily borrowed and will definitely be returned in the future.

The army was in chaos, and it was too unsafe for Xu Mingyang, a general judge with no force value, to pass through the state, so Huang Han decided to give him dozens of family members who could fight.

Pei Daneng, the head of the Henan Military Intelligence Department of the Flag Guard, has not been idle for this time, and the veteran who cannot return to the team after recovering from injury is the best selection of the Flag Guard, and the vast majority of the wounded soldiers are willing to stay in the system, and turning into the Flag Guard is undoubtedly the best choice.

He also developed more than 20 newcomers, among whom Ji Datong and Shi Wenlong were cavalry warriors, and their disability level was not high, and they were persuaded to retire because they were unable to participate in the high-intensity attack.

After being instructed by the head of the family to form thirty rehabilitated wounded soldiers with a certain combat effectiveness to become Xu Mingyang's family, Pei Daneng sent Xiao Fengyang, who had more than a year of work experience and was also a retired cavalryman, to prepare south to Jingzhou with two new flag guards and twenty-seven wounded veterans.

Of the 27 wounded soldiers, only seven belonged to the veterans of the "Red Banner Army", namely two gunners, three sword and shield bearers, and two cavalrymen, and the remaining 20 were wounded by Zhang Fengyi's white-pole soldiers.

In the past few months, the white-pole soldiers of Houjiazhuang have eaten, lived, studied, studied and trained together with the "Red Banner Army", and the white-pole soldiers have been meticulously cared for for their wounded and wounded for several months.

They had long recognized Huang Han, the son-in-law of the main general of the white pole soldiers, and treated Dongping Hou as the head of the family.
