Chapter 141: Winter Training for Laborers (I)
As the cold snap from the north continues to rage, the weather is getting colder day by day, and Vladivostok finally ushered in the first snow.
As soon as the snow came, many employees from the south wrapped themselves like dumplings and ran out of the house, having snowball fights and building snowmen. Watching the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, decorating the earth with snow-white, everyone was very excited.
But Li Ming is not as relaxed as other company employees, especially when he sees that the snow is a day, his heart is nervous, and the temperature will drop sharply as soon as the snow stops.
Workers' housing, mothballed equipment, and Vladivostok's underground network facilities all had to endure the bitter cold. Li Ming frowned, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, but the snow still had no intention of stopping.
A small hand reached over and grabbed his hand. Li Ming turned his head, smiled at the girl beside him, and then hugged her tightly in his arms. The girl leaned on Li Ming's arms with attachment, and when she saw Li Ming's nervous face just now, she was also worried.
The goose feather snow drifted for a whole day, and it didn't stop until late at night. The temperature also began to drop, and with it the crazy and raging north wind, howling.
Li Ming has not slept, he is still a little worried, although the temperature in the house is very warm now, but it is difficult to say the situation of those wooden houses that rely on the fire kang for heating.
When he saw that the snow had stopped, he said to the girl next to him, "Hanako, help me prepare my clothes." The girl was stunned for a moment, worried and wanted to say something. But he still trotted to prepare for Li Ming.
When Li Ming walked out of the house, a cold north wind whistled towards him. Li Ming tightened the polar jacket on his body, stepped on the knee-high snow, and walked towards the gate of the living area with difficulty.
Turning a street, figures appeared in front of them, struggling to move forward in the thick snow. Li Ming saw that several members of the Standing Committee were there, and some were responsible persons of various units.
Everyone looked at each other, and the north wind blew them speechless. They walked out of the living quarters with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Braving the howling north wind, everyone went separately to various places to check.
Although the temperature has reached below minus 20 degrees Celsius at this time, the temperature inside the woodcut flute where the laborers live. It can also reach about ten degrees. The training team's boot camp and the apprentices' cabins were better because of the conditions. So the temperature is a little bit higher.
The next morning, when everyone opened the door, they were blown away by an extremely cold north wind outside. Liu Degui got dressed and urged the laborers around him to get up and clear the snow quickly.
The company has already stipulated. First thing after the snow. It is to sweep the snow of Vladivostok. All work has to be postponed. Because the fire in the stove of the hall house has only residual heat, it is still a little cold when I get up in the morning, but compared to the temperature outside. That's pretty good.
They pushed open the snow-covered gate and went out with their tools to clear the snow. Not only here, but everyone in Vladivostok has already walked out of the house and started to clear the snow collectively, and the entire development zone is full of lively scenes.
After a busy morning, we finally cleared the snow from the road. Countless snow piles piled up on both sides of the road, and a lot of snow was piled up in the open space, making it look like a hill.
After the snow, the air in Vladivostok is exceptionally fresh, and the whole land is covered in silver. Although everyone was sweating profusely, they were in a good mood. After this night, all the company's facilities have withstood the test, and even the cold weather can survive the winter.
Liu Degui shouted loudly to the laborers next to him: "The military training has been canceled in the morning, and I will go to the school after lunch." ”
After he finished shouting, he led the laborers of the production team and walked to his wooden house in a neat queue. Entering November, all the Liaomin of the company began an intense winter training. Every morning, 5 kilometers of cross-country travel, four hours of military training in the morning, and four hours of literacy and political and ideological education in the afternoon.
The subjects of military training include basic training such as platoon, physical fitness, cross-country, and equipment, as well as some simple skills possessed by auxiliary soldiers, such as grappling and fighting, earthmoving operations, construction of fortifications, and logistics and supply. In the later stage, some arquebus operation and fighting skills training will be carried out.
Ordinary laborers were trained by recruits from the training corps, apprentices and contract workers were trained by people from the War Department, and Japanese laborers and craftsmen were trained by the Death Army.
Recruits on the training team have just been abused for a few months, so they have the strictest training requirements. Each person is also equipped with a stick, and if anyone makes a little mistake, it will be a stick, and kicking, beating and scolding will be commonplace. At first, the laborers were still unsatisfied, but they were immediately arrested by the people in charge of supervising the training at the War Department, stripped naked and whipped dozens of times.
All the laborers were frightened, and one by one they became very obedient, while the recruits of the teaching team became more and more aggressive. This is not the worst thing, the most terrible thing is that you have to be assessed every month, and if you don't meet the standards, you will be deducted points.
The better the training performance, the higher the score, if the requirements are not met, even the basic work points will be deducted.
Now these labor distribution votes, in the hands of the laborers, are their lifeblood. Since the beginning of winter, the company has opened a lot of supply and marketing cooperatives in various places in Vladivostok, which are very rich in goods, food and clothing, and everything. All of them can be purchased with a work point ticket.
What excites the workers the most is that the company has opened a pedestrian street in Vladivostok, where there are taverns, grocery stores, bookstores, restaurants, shops. A couple of bathing centers and massage parlors also opened, and more than 1,000 Japanese prostitutes were trained and packaged by an employee who had previously run a Fugetsu establishment, and they looked like that.
I don't know which loser has a bad idea, but there are two Japanese girls standing at the door of each shop, shaking handkerchiefs, and shouting when they see someone: "Uncle, come and have fun......"
This is a place for laborers to have a pastime, especially those bathing centers and several massage centers, which are the places where those Liao people and Japanese laborers and craftsmen are most willing to stay. Any consumption here is settled by a sub-ticket.
Therefore, the work quota in the hands of the laborers is very useful now, and there is no need for the recruits of the teaching team to keep an eye on it, they will also train themselves at night, and no one wants to be deducted from their work, and they all want to get more work.
Their basic training is a month and a half, and then they are regrouped. Those workers who meet the criteria of the incentive system, with the exception of apprentices and Japanese craftsmen, are likely to be selected for the 50 arquebus militia companies that will be formed.
The 5,000 laborers of 50 arquebus militia companies would later become the company's first militia. It is cultivated by the company as the backbone of tens of thousands of Liao people. They will train together until the beginning of next spring, during which time they will receive professional military training. In the future, the Military Commission will give priority to selecting these people for military expansion.
The company attaches great importance to the study of the politics of the militia company. They are all taught by the most professional political workers of the Ministry of the Army, and even the members and standing committee members of the company will often give them classes.
And there are various departments of the company to teach them some simple professional knowledge, although they are all very simple things, but for these militia from Liaomin, it is a lot of knowledge.
They are all excellent people who were good before the new labor system was released, so the quality is very good. In the future, it will be the seedlings of the company's grassroots cadres, and the company will continue to hold study classes to train them in the future.
Literacy education is an important measure of the company, for tens of thousands of Liao people and even Japanese laborers for several months of literacy education, the company adopts the modern society in the 50s, a military cultural instructor Qi Jianhua of the Southwest Military Region to create a rapid literacy method.
The company attaches great importance to the literacy education of indigenous people in different time and space, and has made plans and preparations in modern society. The minimum standard for literacy is that during the five months of winter, each Liao citizen can know 500 new words, and can recognize Arabic numerals, and have the most basic simple reading, writing and arithmetic skills.
Of course, not all Liao people have the ability to continue learning. Therefore, after a month and a half of basic literacy, the company will also divide the remaining laborers, conduct a primary literacy test, and then reorganize the group to study.
Those who do well in the literacy exams will have the opportunity to enter the next evening school for employees, and if they pass the evening school next spring, they will have the opportunity to become apprentices in the company.
There are only three ways for company workers to get ahead, the first is to enter the teaching team, the second is to be a production captain and team leader, and the third is to be an apprentice, compared with the first two, the third point is relatively easy.
This one-and-a-half-month military training and literacy eradication is definitely an opportunity for the Liao people. So this labor winter training, everyone held back their energy, and they figured out this opportunity to change their fate.
The political and ideological education of all workers will continue until the spring of next year. In the past few months, the main work of the Political Department of the Central Military Commission has been to conduct a series of ideological education for the laborers. This is a systems project, and it is definitely a long way to go to get all workers to change their deep-rooted worldview, and it may take a long time to completely change it.
The company's propaganda and education department has also set up a news media center for this purpose. Liu Yidou, who has worked in a provincial news media in modern society, is in charge. This guy used to be a professional videographer, and only later moved to work in the administrative department. He took a few employees who were also from the media to set up the shelves of this news and media center. (To be continued......)
