Chapter XXVIII
Early the next morning, Chen Jian, who had not slept all night, appeared in the city early, crossed the river with the black-clothed guards, took over the docks, warehouses and various workshops, and the workshop workers laid down their weapons and buried the people on both sides who died in the riot, all of which were solemnly held according to the funeral ceremony of Xia Cheng.

They were enemies of each other during their lifetimes, and when they died, they were buried together in a cemetery.
After the funeral, Jian Chen came to the smelting workshop, looked at the large number of farm tools piled up nearby, counted them, and praised: "Very good, in the past ten days, you need to divide half of the people to guard yourself, and only half of the people have completed the normal work, I haven't seen you work so hard before." ”
More than a dozen tired workshop workers with puffy eyes smiled embarrassedly, and then answered: "That's because we worked for you before, and these ten days are for ourselves, so it will naturally be fast." ”
Jian Chen smiled: "Okay, I didn't accuse you, I really praised you." The expedition to Dongyi is about to begin, and the Smelting Division can only leave half of the people. Now you are also working for yourself, and I want you to maintain this enthusiasm for work. This is to be rewarded and commendable. ”
"You didn't smash the workshop, you obeyed the rules we set before, in fact, you are afraid that you are reluctant to destroy the workshop that you built and worked on with your own hands. This kind of reluctance proves that you have really become a qualified countryman. ”
"Remember, everything you produce today has a part of your own. The sweat that you shed now is shed for the city, that is, for yourselves. ”
It took Chen Jian two days to say the same thing to each workshop, and then raised the minimum wage for each workshop's daily labor.
Then he announced a big, big thing.
The first session of the New People's Council will be held in Xiacheng in January next year. In addition to the thirteen who need to be appointed, the rest of the people need to be chosen by those above the public or the people themselves to choose the person they trust the most.
The National People's Council naturally includes those who are far away in Xiacheng, and Chen Jian is telling all the Chinese who miss Xiacheng that they will inevitably return to Xiacheng before January next year, which can be regarded as a promise or declaration.
At that time, the laws and regulations of the entire summer city system will be improved, and the development plan for the summer city system for the next year will be formulated.
The announcement of this incident can be regarded as a declaration of formal recognition of the status of the workshop workers from the legal point of view, and laid the foundation for subsequent public opinion propaganda.
If the name is not right, it is not good, and many things are not clear without this basis.
Two days later, the propaganda machine was in motion, to make pre-war propaganda for the coming war, and to erase some of the not-so-serious estrangements caused by the previous riots.
Together with this group of propagandists, the leaders of the workshops went to the farms and mines, quelling the riots and promoting the idea that work is for oneself.
Before, empty talk was meaningless, but now it makes sense, because there is no need to deceive, just to state a fact.
The same is to work for the city, and when they are not part of the city, it is empty talk.
By the 28th of May, the devastation caused by the previous civil strife had disappeared, and the newly acquired Chinese workshop workers had erupted with an unimaginable enthusiasm that was unimaginable to the people of Xiacheng.
While resuming work, the workshop workers took the initiative to clear the breastworks and masonry of the streets during their breaks, which was never possible before.
The increase in production efficiency brought about by the enthusiasm for work is also obvious, Chen Jian transferred one-third of the workshop workers to participate in military training, and transferred 1,000 people to the military workshop to prepare materials for the war.
Even so, the entire civilian workshop system can still maintain normal operation, which is simply appalling.
Supporting this miracle are only seven brass medals of labor heroes, eighty-two public servants, a text praising the laborers of the new era, two plays with the original workshop workers as the protagonists, four new medals in the name of workshop workers who have improved their work efficiency, and a moving commendation meeting.
On May 29, the regulations on rewards and punishments for military merit were promulgated, and the system written on wooden tablets was interpreted daily by the propagandists.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Transport Division gathered ships to transport large quantities of ordnance and rations downstream, the same city that had been hit by the floods last year.
As early as the day after the riots subsided, Yu Qian'er went down with the owners of two ships, carrying a large number of gifts. She was going to the city that had been flooded last year to meet with the chieftain, and at the same time, under the pretext of the threat of Dongyi, she rented the dock that Ji Song had built there for most of the year, and asked that the Xia Cheng army be allowed to station there.
Just returned yesterday, the other party has agreed, Yucheng, which has been transferred to the military system, began to use its own water transportation advantages and workshop system to transport all the materials for this expedition there as a transit station.
In addition to the food, a group of cadres from the construction department also went with the ship, and Chen Jian ordered them to build a simple defensive camp near the dock within 15 days. The Supply and Marketing Division will go with coins and some of the workshop goods, and will use the fame accumulated there last year to hire the low-level people of the city to help complete the construction.
The supply and marketing department also needs to be responsible for the deployment of a large number of materials with the army, and many things have temporarily begun to be supplied in limited quantities or even rationed, and then the propaganda department is responsible for publicizing everything for the city and everything for the war to cooperate with it.
Fifty black-clothed guards went down by boat, and they took a few naturalized Dongyi people as guides, and they wanted to go east to Dongyi territory to check the terrain and choose a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a foothold for transshipment.
The people of the Department of Medicine were preparing herbs and preparing a large amount of linen cloth as a bandage to stop bleeding. Considering that it was summer, they also needed to prepare some anti-epidemic medicines and lime spirits and other disinfectant things, and they also had to send a group of people to follow the expedition, and they were being forced by the Planning and Statistics Department to sort out the transportation volume they needed within three days.
All the cadets of the military class of the Department of Education are organized into a phalanx of spearmen, and they also need to study in the war, and the Department of Education also needs to send people from the propaganda department under their jurisdiction to follow them, and the list of plays to be performed by the army must be decided before the third day of the first month of June.
Half of the personnel of the Department of Planning and Statistics were stationed in the Department of Transportation, which had to fully coordinate and plan the transportation capacity, and they had to cross a distance of five or six hundred miles or more during the war, transfer supplies and soldiers, and ensure the minimum maintenance of the civilian system in Yucheng.
Last year's disaster relief and grain delivery was just a rehearsal, which was presided over by Chen Jian himself, and with the experience of the last time, Chen Jian could at least let them do it themselves.
It took half a month for the entire Yucheng to completely transition to the wartime system of this era, and the slogans of everything to make way for the war and everything for the city were everywhere.
The tightly controlled planning system showed an advantage ahead of the times, and the two years of training allowed the city to operate automatically after the general direction and control were completed.
Except for Yuxia, which had a large-scale planning system, no other city had such organizational power in this era.
