"Fight, fight, come on, fight!" The deputy head of the security unit of the Red Star Farm vigorously rang a bell hanging under the eaves, and then shouted at the top of his throat. The head of the unit, who was playing mahjong in the storage room next door, had a note on his face, and when he heard the news, he immediately pushed the cards in front of him, picked up the armed belt, pistol, and saber hanging on the hanger, and then beckoned his men to rush out.

There were two groups of people fighting, on the left were Ukrainian Cossacks and insurrectionary serfs bought in the second half of last year, and on the right was a group of Polish prisoners of war, who seemed to have continued the war in the Old Continent here. The head of the security unit looked at his face and suddenly became a little cold, only to see him beckon, a subordinate immediately came over, after listening to his order, the subordinate glanced at the more than 200 indentured slaves who were still fighting in the river in front of him, and hurriedly left here.

Dozens of Xhosa blacks, armed with sticks and leather whips, took aside more than 300 indentured slaves who had not participated in the group fight, and then stood aside, quietly waiting for the fools whose blood was pouring up to calm down. Yes, that's right, these indentured slaves who are participating in the fight are fools! Soon they would be completely suppressed by an armed force consisting of black overseers, farm guards, armed patrols, Ministry of Internal Affairs police, and militia, and the first few who started the gang would be flogged and sent to the Changshan Iron Mine Forced Labor Camp, while the rest would be sent to Ping'an County.

Don't think it's a good thing to be transferred from the Red Star Farm, where birds don't poop, to Ping'an County, in fact, anyone who has been to the sewage pipe renovation site in Ping'an County will tell you what kind of hell it is. Inside the stinking old pipes, these indentured laborers, dressed in rubber rain boots and water supports, stepped on the slippery, sloping ground, using shovels to dig out clumps of dirt that had been deposited for an unknown amount of time, and then carried them to the ground. The working environment is harsh and the workload is heavy. It's all unimaginable to them before, and everyone who has worked there doesn't want to go a second time!

Because the new urban sewage system tested in Jingjiang County, Wujiang Prefecture, is working well, it has not only effectively treated the domestic sewage of thousands of urban residents. Its unique wastewater treatment facility also produces large quantities of fertile sludge (sediment at the bottom of the sedimentation tank, rich in organic matter) on a regular basis. The sludge is sent to a nearby state-owned farm for fertilization, and it is reported that the grass planted on it grows particularly fat and has good economic value.

Because of this, some old settlements in China have proposed to renovate their original sewer pipes, which were not very well designed, and at the same time add new sewage treatment plants to completely renovate the sanitation of the entire city. They also have a good reason that it can improve the comfort of people's lives. Improving sanitation and reducing the incidence of disease - each time a disease strikes, a large number of children become ill and die because they cannot be treated.

To be honest, they have a very good reason and they are very appealing to the Executive Committee. Because they have always insisted that reducing the mortality rate is far more important than increasing the birth rate, and in order to prevent children on the East Coast from being "titheed" by disease like in Peru (about 1 in 10 children die in Spain each year, known as child tithes), necessary urban sewerage and sewage treatment facilities are necessary.

However, given the central government's financial constraints, the renovation of old sewer pipes and the construction of new sewage treatment plants in the relatively densely populated old settlements will cost a lot of money. Therefore, the central government has decided to temporarily prioritize the renovation of sewage facilities in the capital Dongfang County and the industrial town of Ping'an County. At present, they have approved the renovation of old facilities in six settlements: Chengguan Township, Dingyuan Township, Henan Township, Ping'an Township, Liming Township, and Jushu Township, and at the same time, a new sewage treatment plant has been added to each settlement, and a total of nearly 300,000 yuan has been allocated. This year, most of the central government's mobile funds have been eliminated.

Of course, the construction fund of 300,000 yuan is naturally very insufficient, and it is normal for Gai to renovate these old facilities more troublesome than to build a new one, and to spend a lot of money. In six settlements, the average cost of renovation in one settlement is 50,000 yuan, which is enough to buy building materials, labor tools, chemicals, order some pipeline valves, buy some transport vehicles, hire some engineering and technical personnel to conduct on-site surveys and later designs, even if there are a few thousand yuan left, there is not much to do. Fortunately, however, the Executive Committee took into account the practical difficulties in various localities, so it sent some of the laborers on hand to help with the construction. This saves a lot of construction costs and allows the project to be barely started - of course, the accommodation, and allowances for these laborers during this period will be paid by the user unit.

No doubt. The laborers involved in these old sewer renovation projects are the most miserable. The working environment here is not tolerable for ordinary people, and it is very easy to induce a variety of diseases - many laborers have unfortunately contracted the disease in the sewage pipes and have been isolated some time ago - so it is a job that everyone avoids. Employers either recruit Italian and Scottish workers who come from the Old Continent on their own at high prices. Either use indentured slaves - compared to the former, employers naturally prefer to use indentured slaves that are less expensive.

Now, according to the policy, these indentured slaves, who are fighting in the muddy river, will soon be taken into custody and sent to the sewage facility renovation site in Ping'an County, where there is a shortage of people! The Ping'an county government was so anxious that it was ready to hire local peasants and foreign Italian laborers at high prices, and it was believed that they would be happy to send these two hundred people, and these indentured slaves would surely spend at least six months of their impressive working life there.

More than a dozen heavily armed patrolmen soon arrived with more than 50 militiamen, who were also heavily armed, and as for the dozens of Ministry of Internal Affairs policemen who had been stationed nearby, they had gone out yesterday morning with wolf dogs and horses to hunt down fugitive slaves, and had not yet returned, so only a few left-behind personnel had rushed over with rifles.

But that's enough! The head of the security unit looked at the crackdown, which numbered more than 150 people, and was so relieved that he quickly consulted with one of the police officers who led the team. The police officer was also very simple, only to see him wave his big hand, and several patrol officers fired warning shots, which immediately shocked the indentured slaves who were still fighting with their faces and necks.

The East Coast people are ruthless! At this moment, whether it is a Ukrainian or a Pole, there is a sudden excitement in their minds, the movements of their hands involuntarily slowed down, and the courage that was originally full of their chests gradually dissipated in the wind. Seeing this, the black overseers, who had been watching them coldly, rushed over with their own acquainted skills, and beat the men who were still standing on the ground with their sticks, and then pulled out seven or eight of the worst men they had seen, and then asked them to identify each other, and again found out a few of the first to do it.

After these more than a dozen people were arrested, the police officer who led the team did not talk nonsense and immediately ordered to be executed on the spot. I saw the overseers tie up these indentured slaves who were still struggling fiercely and press them to the ground, and then some armed patrolmen immediately stepped forward, only to see them take out black leather whips, rip off the clothes of these indentured slaves, and then beat them fiercely.

The screams resounded one after another over the empty river, and the whole execution process lasted about fifteen minutes, and the entire back of more than ten people on the ground was bloody, and the shock was absolutely full, which could be seen from the pale faces of those indentured slaves -- a man who was still alive just now was lying on the dirty and muddy river beach like a dead dog, and even the sound of breathing was much weaker.

"Toast and don't eat and drink!" The police officer who led the team was born in Weihaiwei, who was originally a military household who lived in the guard, after immigrating to the east coast, he entered the police system by chance, and is now a middle-level police officer. On the first day, I made it clear to you that those who disobey discipline will be severely punished, and now it is just to increase your memory. What are you still doing in a daze, send all the energetic and group fights 'heroes' on the road, the Changshan Forced Labor Camp and the construction site in Ping'an County are waiting for them, don't rub it off, let's go! ”

Seeing the foreman and patrol officers driving those laborers like sheep, the police officer spat on the ground again and said, "It's all a bunch of cheap breeds, isn't it good to fulfill the labor contract comfortably on the Red Star Farm?" Cutting down trees, dredging rivers, building roads, building houses, and leveling the land here, the work really can't be regarded as heavy, and I don't know how to cherish it, not what a cheap seed is! ”

After scolding for a while, the police officer seemed to think of something again, only to see him find the head of the security unit and say to him: "Now that the field chief has not taken office, we can decide the affairs here." I think we have to slap and give two sweet dates, the laborers who didn't participate in the group fight today are not bad, or give them a few more meals and reduce some work? ”

Although the officer's words were inquiring, the tone was unquestionable, and the chief of security felt that it was not a violation of principles, so he agreed to his words. In this way, these honest laborers who did not participate in the fight not only unexpectedly got a day off, but in the next month, they will have more meals than before, which is quite a good treatment.

"More than 200 people were sent away at once, and the labor gap has widened again. Yes, we still have to report to the top, but the able-bodied white-skinned indentured slaves are definitely gone, and most of them will stuff two or three hundred Guarani into us. Alas, it's really unfavorable for the passing years, the Guarani people use a ball! The officer lit himself a pipe and sighed cross-legged. (To be continued)
