Ge Qingsheng was born in a poor family, and he has been at the grassroots level for a long time, and he has a natural awe for a background like Yang Zhi, although now with the expansion of the Taiping Army's power, his position is becoming more and more important, and his confidence is much better than before, this sense of awe is gradually fading, but it will still inadvertently come out at a certain point in time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He sincerely hoped that Lu Feng, his former partner, could rejuvenate again, and if he failed again this time, the blow to this old friend would be extremely serious, or he would not have the courage to do it again.

"So, Lu Feng has a good chance of winning?" He asked Qin Feng tentatively.

"I didn't say that." Qin Feng shook his head: "If he loses, then it is natural to give up the position of the chief official, which shows that his skills are not as good as others, and he can't complain about others." ”

Hearing this, Ge Qingsheng couldn't help but look at the closed door, and became worried again.

"General, this time the three thousand soldiers and horses of the Taiping Iron Mine are because of the large-scale use of troops against the Yue Kingdom, but the Taiping Iron Mine is empty, and there is nothing wrong there. In order to divert his attention, Ge Qingsheng raised his concerns to Qin Feng.

The place where the strong men gather is a place where accidents are easy to happen, and the miners of the Taiping Iron Mine are still very special, they are all prisoners of war, which increases the possibility of accidents.

"In the past, there was indeed a possibility of an accident, but with Changyang County being taken by us, this possibility is rapidly declining." Qin Feng nodded, acknowledging Ge Qingsheng's concern, "After the three thousand people from Lu Feng are transferred, of course, there will be follow-up arrangements." At the same time, it is necessary to work hard inside the Taiping Iron Mine. ”

"What do you mean?"

"In the past, we detained these miners because Changyang County was still under the control of the Shuntian Army, but now, it is no longer a problem, and this news should be known to every miner in the Taiping Iron Mine. They should not be considered prisoners of war now. ”

"If they are not prisoners of war, then on what grounds are they detained and allowed to continue working in the mines?" Ge Qingsheng asked.

"They came all the way from Changyang County, killed, injured and looted, and caused a lot of evil, which is a sin." Qin Feng said lightly: "Now they are atoning for their sins. Since you raised this issue today, you happen to be skillful, so call him too, by the way, Wang Hou also call, let's think about it, the miners of the Taiping Iron Mine, we must find a way to make the transition from forced labor to voluntary labor, so that this place of right and wrong, which is easy to breed problems, will become another powerful fulcrum of our Taiping Army, and form an effective supplement to Taiping City. ”

Taiping City and Taiping Iron Mine, above the administration, are parallel, Taiping City has no jurisdiction over Taiping Iron Mine, it is under the direct control of the General's Office. At present, Taiping City is only providing logistical support to Taiping Iron Mine.

"I've been thinking about this question for a long time, boss." The chief officer of the Taiping Iron Mine said in a rough voice, like Ge Qingsheng, he was only in charge of logistics in the death battalion before, but now he is also powerful with the rising status, and the Taiping Iron Mine under his jurisdiction integrates a series of industries such as mining, iron smelting, and production, and has tens of thousands of people under his jurisdiction, and Lu Feng's army of 3,000 people, from the current jurisdiction, is under his command. Circling in these places all year round, his voice is not ordinarily loud, and he is about to become an occupational disease.

"What's the experience?" Qin Feng asked with a smile. The skillful hand is not as well-maintained as Ge Qingsheng, and it is full of scabies, which is obviously caused by often doing some rough work.

"In the past, we were strict with these prisoners of war, and the punishment was strict, but with Changyang County under the rule of the Taiping Army, they are also our people. Article 1 Abolish military control and replace it with civilian governance. "Skillful way.

Everyone in the room nodded their heads and agreed with this point of view.

"The second article, commutation of sentences, they were originally sentenced to three years in prison, this time, we can take the opportunity of our victory over Changyang County, and give them a large reduction in sentence, so that they have more hope, for example, subtract one year, then for them, they only need to serve another half a year in prison to regain their freedom, even if there is a thorn in the heart who wants to make trouble, I am afraid that there is nothing to be done." Skillful continued.

"There's a problem here." Wang Hou knocked on the table, "If there is only half a year left, what if these people want to leave when the sentence comes?" At that time, I am afraid that the Taiping Iron Mine will be paralyzed, and the impact will be great, just when we are going to use troops against the Yue country, and then the weapons will not be able to keep up, and there will be a big problem. ”

"That's what we're going to do in the last six months." Skillfully smiled, "The current personnel ratio of Taiping Iron Mine is about seventy percent, two percent, one percent of this ratio, seventy percent are prisoners of war in Changyang County, two percent are foreign refugees, and one percent are natives of Shayang County, seventy percent of the prisoners of war are mainly engaged in the most arduous mining work, and twenty percent of the foreign refugees are mainly concentrated in the smelting industry after review, and the terminal weapon manufacturing is basically locals, of course, there are also particularly talented or obedient prisoners of war who have entered the other two jobs. This proportion is due to the special situation when the Taiping Iron Mine was first built, and up to now, there have been some hidden dangers, and our transformation of the Taiping Iron Mine is the first to start from this aspect. In fact, Lu Feng's army selection plan has already begun experiments in this regard. ”

Qin Feng looked at the skillful hand with interest, and the skillful hand talked eloquently and methodically, which was very different from the skillful hand in his image.

"Once a person is selected by Lu Feng, he can immediately take off the identity of a prisoner and become a reserve soldier, and after passing the training, he can become a regular soldier, and his income and treatment will come up all of a sudden. With a comparison of before and after, these prisoners-turned-soldiers are much stronger than their native soldiers in terms of tenacity and seriousness. Qiaoshou continued: "Actually, we all know that Changyang County is a notoriously poor place, with many people and little land, and very low income, otherwise Mo Luo would not be able to respond to all kinds of calls anywhere, if we follow Lu Feng's line of thinking, give them a new identity, and give them higher treatment, a large part of them will not necessarily leave, I have already started an investigation in this area." It is believed that a report will be issued soon. ”

"What else?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"One more point, the most important one." Skillful hand smiled: "Everyone has roots, every miner also has a family, if the families of these miners are to the Taiping Iron Mine, and have a good income, I believe it can stabilize their emotions, so that they have the will to work here for a long time, in fact, we have been doing this." Those soldiers of Lufeng, we have contacted their families through various channels, and now many of these people have arrived near the Taiping Iron Mine, and they have gathered together, and they have formed one village after another. ”

"Sounds like you have a whole plan?" Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, boss, Taiping Iron Mine is now tens of thousands of miners, plus smelters, workshops, etc., has exceeded 50,000 people, if the families of these miners settle here again, it is foreseeable that the population of Taiping Iron Mine will exceed 200,000 in a very short period of time, there is every reason, there is a condition to rebuild a city, and Taiping City to form a horn complementary trend, now we are completely a burden on Taiping City in terms of logistics, I think within a few years, to solve this problem, can make Taiping Iron Mine form a self-supply." Skillful way. "Of course, in the early stage, the general needs to give strong support on top of the funds, which requires a lot of money."

Qin Feng clapped his hands, and Wang Hou on the side was also full of admiration, Ge Qingsheng was a little dumbfounded, he really couldn't see that the craftsman in front of him who looked rough and big-footed actually had a clear mind, if he really thought about it, Taiping Iron Mine Tige was a city, and it wouldn't be long before it would be another bright pearl in the mountains.

Seeing that his ideas were admired by everyone, he was proud of his skillful hands.

"Skillful, is this really what you came up with?" Caught off guard, Qin Feng suddenly asked, "It's not like your previous style?" ”

Qiaoshou was stunned at first, and then his old face flushed: "I know that I can't hide it from the boss, in fact, I have been thinking about these things, but the formation of such an organized thing is really not something I figured out." This is the idea that one of my staff members gave me, he said that with the return of Changyang County, the boss will inevitably have a series of actions against the Taiping Iron Mine, and it is already an urgent matter to solve the risks contained in the Taiping Iron Mine, so I entrusted him to do these things, these things, in fact, he also wrote a thick stack of plans, I just picked up the most important and said a few. ”

"Oh, who is this man?" Several people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, so it was, no wonder the skillful hands were so confident, it turned out that there were masters behind to point out. "It's amazing!"

"He was also a prisoner of war, but this prisoner of war was a literate and learned man. This guy has a very high prestige among the miners, and I caught him by my side, one is to monitor, and the other is to let him come up with ideas for me, such a person must not let him mix with the miners, otherwise something will happen sooner or later. Skillfully said: "After a long time, I found out that he was really a capable guy, so I asked the people of the Eagle's Nest to find his family from Changyang County and also get the Taiping Iron Mine. ”

"Go back and bring this person to me, if he has real skills, I have a lot of empty seats here." Qin Feng smiled: "By the way, what's his name?" ”

"Kim Kyung-nam!" (To be continued.) )
