Chapter 24 Labor Camp (2)

At the meeting the night before, the competition for labor force had almost reached a fever pitch. The heads of several departments had dark faces at the end, but in the end, the labor site arranged by the executive committee for these prisoners was neither a mine nor a logging site.

It is a farm area planned by the Ministry of Agriculture. This is not because the Executive Committee intentionally favors the Ministry of Agriculture. This arrangement is really a last resort.

Several construction sites planned by the Ministry of Industry are close to forested mountainous areas. In this case, to guard more than 30 prisoners, the number of manpower required cannot be too few, but if more manpower is occupied, then use it with the Executive Committee

The original intention of the captives to supplement the labor shortage was contrary to the original intention of the farm planned by the Ministry of Agriculture on the east bank of the Tiandu River. The terrain was flat, which made it easy to monitor the working conditions of the captives. It only needed to arrange a few people to guard it from a distance. Taking a step back, even if the captives

Some people want to escape. To the west is the Tiandu River chasm. To the east or south, you have to climb over uninhabited mountains. Then you will face the endless ocean. It is more dangerous to go north and deep into the interior, because it is the mighty Li Li.

If a human settlement falls into the hands of the Li people who are still in a semi-barbaric state, they will not be treated with a meal of rice porridge. It is a blessing if they are not roasted on the fire. The reason behind this does not need to be explained. You are familiar with it.

These water village soldiers naturally understand the local situation.

The prisoners boarded the "Speed" obediently under the armed escort of the Military and Police Department. Although more than thirty people stood on the front deck, it seemed a bit crowded, but the weather was calm near the Tiandu River outlet, and the catamaran

The stable structure of the ship did not risk knocking people off the boat. The sailboat set off from Victory Port and made a small circle on the sea. After changing its direction, it sailed straight to the east bank of Tiandu River and soon arrived at Luoyu Village in later generations.

area.

People from the Ministry of Agriculture came to inspect this place yesterday and were very satisfied with the soil structure and topography of this narrow strip. If fully developed, more than a thousand acres of arable land could be created here, and the distance between it and Base No. 1

It is also close enough that if you need to send a boat across the river, you can get there. After discussion by the Executive Committee, it was decided to use this place as a labor camp under the labor camp. The labor camp is jointly responsible for the Ministry of Agriculture and the Military and Police Department. If the prisoners

If the performance is good, then the next step may be to build the labor camp barracks here. Of course, if you want to move from the smelly barge cabin to the barracks on the shore, you must use points to redeem it.

After the "Speed" docked, a group of prisoners, driven by bayonets, jumped directly from the deck into the knee-deep water. After reaching the shore, Luo Shengdong and the four team leaders he temporarily appointed shouted at the top of their lungs for a long time.

, so that this ragtag group of people lined up in groups, which made the members of the military and police department who stood on the sailboat and witnessed the whole process very disdainful.

Luo Shengdong noticed that the short-haired man leading the team today was not the short-haired leader who interrogated him yesterday, but a dark and strong man, wearing floral green trousers and black leather boots, and only wearing a close-fitting green jacket on his upper body.

The bulging muscles of his body seemed to burst his coat. The big black man walked to the bow of the boat and shouted at the top of his voice: "Stand upright! All your heads are raised and look at me!"

A group of prisoners on the shore were frightened by the thunder-like sound, and they quickly braced themselves and stood up, but they were somewhat flinching when they looked at the bow of the ship. The big black man looked around at everyone, and then said again:

"My surname is Gu Mingwei, and I will be your immediate boss from now on! You scumbags, please listen to me clearly. Only those who obey orders and work well can have food. If you don't work well and want to play tricks on me, I will teach you personally.

How did he write the word 'bitter'!"

Gu Wei, as the representative sent by the Military and Police Department to manage the labor camp, was not a task assigned to him by Yan Chujie, but he took the initiative to apply for it. Gu Wei also served as a soldier before traveling through time, and after transferring to the local area, he worked in the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces

Work, the specific thing he was responsible for was militia training. The plans for several large-scale basic military skills training organized by the Military and Police Department before the time traveled were basically made by him and Yan Chujie. When it comes to training people and soldiers, ancient times

Wei can be regarded as an expert among those who time travel. According to his own plan, even if he cannot be a general leading troops in war after time travel, he will at least become an official like the principal of the Army Military Academy of the new regime.

Obviously, there were no conditions to realize the dream, and the military academy would definitely not be able to count on it for the time being, but the prisoner of war labor camp seemed to be a place where one could display his abilities, so Gu Wei took the initiative to ask Ying to manage these dozens of prisoners.

Taking into account the special nature of the labor camp, the Military and Police Department paired him with a young deputy named Ren Liang. Although Ren Liang had no experience as a soldier, he was a serious graduate of Fujian Police College majoring in prison management and was later assigned

I worked in the Minxi Prison in Longyan City, Fujian Province for three or four years. In terms of professional compatibility, I was still better than Gu Wei, but I was seven or eight years younger than Gu Wei, so I had no choice but to give him the job of deputy first.

The representative from the Ministry of Agriculture was Gao Huan, who was mainly responsible for providing guidance on agricultural technology. Originally, his wife, Zhu Ping, wanted to come in person because Zhu Ping's major was food crops, while Gao Huan followed his master Yuan Ruoxiu's major.

It is also a cash crop, but the Executive Committee did not intend to plant food crops in the labor camp area, so it rejected the old lady's kindness. The reason is actually very simple. You must know that the Executive Committee dared to release these people into the wild.

Even if they work hard and eat enough, the food can choke their necks and leave them with nowhere to escape. But if food is planted in this place, and these prisoners wait until the harvest season to secretly hide some, wouldn't it be possible?

To seize the opportunity to escape from the labor camp? This kind of stupid mistake of shooting oneself in the foot will naturally not be made by the shrewd executive committee.

In view of the current severe shortage of labor, the management staff of the labor camp has to be reduced to a minimum - five people from the Military and Police Department, one person from the Ministry of Agriculture, plus Yu Xiaobao, a local leader who can already understand 70% to 80% of Mandarin.

As a translator, his salary is to travel through crowdsourcing for two meals, and he can also receive a pound of rice every day. If he works for more than twenty-eight days a month, he can also receive an additional three taels of refined salt at the end of the month. Gu Wei's opinion of Xiaobao

He couldn't stand the rags he was dressed in, so he applied for a set of camouflage training uniforms and a pair of rubber shoes from the inventory. So now this little guy only has a bun on his head and still maintains Akito's characteristics. Let's continue to develop like this.

Undoubtedly, he will become the first naturalized citizen to cross the area under the rule of the people.

The four reform-through-labor groups were evenly divided into two teams by Gu Wei. One team was led by Gao Huan to open up wasteland, and the other team stayed on the riverside and was personally commanded by Gu Wei. They were going to build a small wooden trestle to facilitate daily transportation.

Ships traveling between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait need to dock.

However, the person who actually directed the construction work was not Gu Wei. He was okay with military training. If you want to build a dock trestle from scratch, you still need professionals. In the morning, Gu Wei specially found Bai Kesi and specially cut down the wood with his men.

Cai Hongzhan, the leader of the team, asked to come over. Cai Hongzhan has worked in Bai Kesi's furniture factory for many years and is considered the number one carpenter among the time travellers. With his on-site guidance, it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort.

The prisoners first dragged ashore more than twenty thigh-thick logs tied to the back of the sailboat. These were the fruits of the logging team's work in the previous two days. Then Cai Hongzhan distributed hand saws, small axes and other tools to them.

Prepare the lumber according to your marked dimensions.

At first, Gu Wei was a little worried that the prisoners would have evil intentions after getting these metal tools, so he kept pressing his hand on the holster at his waist. However, Cai Hongzhan later noticed this detail and comforted him with a smile: "

I said Lao Gu, there’s no need to be so nervous, these prisoners won’t mess around.”

"It's hard to say. You know people but don't know their hearts. Who knows what these guys have in mind... Lao Cai, don't get too close to them!" Gu Wei still refused to let down his guard at all.

Cai Hongzhan smiled and shook his head and said: "Old Gu, although you have been a soldier before, I'm afraid you can't understand the thoughts of these people like me."

"Oh? Can you tell me about it?" Gu Wei also became interested.

"These Ming army prisoners have poor fighting will. Now that they know they will not die, how much do you think they can still fight for? What's more, even if they kill me, it will be useless. How can they fly back from here?

Go to Yacheng? You must know that they have taken off their military uniforms now and are no longer soldiers. Since they can live well, why should they die? "

Cai Hongzhan walked to Gu Wei, took out a pack of "Yuxi" from his pocket, and handed one to Gu Wei: "Relax, I have calculated the workload in advance, and I guarantee that these guys will be happy.

I can't stop...Look, the guy in charge is said to be a CEO, right? Look at how fast he works, he must be a proficient person!"

Cai Hongzhan's voice was not quiet, and Luo Shengdong, who was immersed in his work, actually heard it, but he didn't have the nerve to raise his head to refute anything, so he could only vent his anger on the wood.

Although Luo Shengdong felt a little ashamed, he also understood that what the short-haired carpenter said was right. If he ran away now, where would he go without food or drink? Even if it was really blessed by the Bodhisattva, he would be lucky enough to escape back to Yacheng.

So what if I go there? I'll lose my boat and my people. I'll probably be charged with "escape from battle" or something like that and be beheaded as a scapegoat. Since I can live well now, let's survive first.

Bar.

Luo Shengdong raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He recalled that when he was still a member of the military camp, he was chopping firewood at the boss's house under the scorching sun. He seemed to have experienced this kind of emotion intertwined with anger and shame.

.At that time, I was just chopping firewood day after day, with no future at all. If my father hadn't been transferred to Yazhou Water Village due to meritorious service, I might still be chopping firewood for that damn Boss Wang.

Why did he return to the original track of his life after going around in circles for so many years?

These philosophies of life are too complex and profound. Luo Shengdong cannot understand them and has no time to think about them. Today's labor tasks are very heavy. If these two groups of people cannot build the trestle bridge before the sun sets, then everyone will have no choice but to

He got half of the two points, and as the leader of the labor camp, he had to bear the consequences of being deducted points. Maybe today would be for nothing and he wouldn't even get a single point. In his opinion, this was

Absolutely unacceptable results.

"It must be done before the sun sets!" Luo Shengdong thought silently, putting all other distracting thoughts behind his mind, and shouted loudly for someone to quickly carry the next piece of wood to be processed.
