Chapter 358 Consumables in Projects

Although North Vietnam has been rich in rice since ancient times and there is no shortage of food, their status as prisoners of war means that they will not have the opportunity to have a full meal. After being captured, they have only been treated with clear soup and wild vegetable porridge. They eat two rice soups a day, basically just

It could play a life-threatening role, but many people were already starving to the point of skin and bones. If North Vietnam hadn't still had the intention of handing them over to the Haihan people as debt bonds, these people would have starved to death in the prisoner of war camps.

The two ships of prisoners of war transported from North Vietnam this time totaled 600 people. However, due to their physical weakness due to long-term detention, more than a dozen died during transportation and were mercilessly thrown into the sea by the crew. After arriving at the port,

During the quarantine, more than a dozen people were cleared by the medical team for isolation and observation due to poor physical condition. Finally, there were 566 people left in the hard labor camp. These people were divided into groups of ten when they were transported.

, ten teams are organized into one squadron. In addition to the managers assigned by the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Construction, each squadron will also have a slightly older hard-working foreman. Of course, the function of this foreman is not at the administrative level.

They are only responsible for guiding them in their work. Each camp consists of five squadrons, and just on the construction site of Sanya New City, there are four hard labor camps with a total of more than 2,000 people.

According to the plan of the Executive Committee, several miles of inland river terminals will be built along the river banks in the urban areas of the two river basins of Sanya. The supporting infrastructure projects will be huge. It is far from relying solely on the existing construction teams of the Ministry of Construction.

Not enough, most of the pure manual labor will be completed by hard laborers who currently have more than 4,000 people. Although the bodies of these hard laborers are still very weak, the construction department does not have time for them to slowly recuperate their bodies.

The construction period of various projects is pressed very tight, and if the expected construction goals cannot be completed on time, everyone's life will not be easy. The most direct and effective solution is to make full use of these hard laborers as much as possible. If you can do some work,

At least, the cost of repaying these people's debts must be recovered.

"You are paralyzed while you sleep, get up and get up! You lazy guys, this place is not for you to live in your old age. Gather outside the house immediately. If you haven't left the house until I count to ten, you don't have to eat dinner!" Li Maozi took it.

He used a tin speaker and shouted loudly at the hard laborers lying on the floor in the shack at the highest volume. As for the meaning of the first sentence, he didn't know, but he once saw Haihan cadres use these words to scold them for sleeping in.

After doing hard labor, I felt very impressive, so I started learning it on my own.

During the siege of Lijiazhuang in May, Li Maozai was lucky to save his life on the battlefield. Although he became a prisoner of the militia, he accidentally avoided the liquidation of the Li family clan. After the war,

He was directly escorted to Dawanshan Island to work as a coolie. Being able to escape from a certain death situation twice was extremely lucky. Of course, this was also thanks to the fact that the bandit leader Liao Dabi died in the rebellion, otherwise

Once his instigation of Liao Dabi to attack Lijiazhuang was exposed, even ten lives would not be enough to kill him, and there was no need to expect the Haihan people to save his life on the grounds that they needed labor.

While Li Maozi was working as a coolie in Wanshan Port, he continued to use his acting talent, trying to please his boss while squeezing other people who were also hard laborers. It must be said that his tricks played a certain role.

After staying at Wanshan Port for a month, Li Maozai was promoted to squad leader and later to squadron leader because of his evaluation of "a good attitude towards reform, active and willing to work". In August, due to the main project of Wanshan Port,

It came to an end, and the confidentiality of the remaining fortifications construction needed to be taken into consideration. People from the hard labor camp were not eligible to participate, so Li Maozai and a group of other people captured in the Lijiazhuang battle were transported to Sanya New Port

Continue to work on the construction site.

Although Li Maozai tried his best to express himself, it is difficult for today's hard labor camps to have an outlier like Gao Qiaonan who successfully counterattacked in a very short time. The Ministry of Justice has clearly stipulated that, except for a few special cases clearly listed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs

In addition to the ability of talented people to perform labor outside prison, all ordinary and medium-sized personnel in hard labor camps must serve the sentence according to the judgment. Even if the sentence can be commuted for meritorious service, the minimum sentence cannot be less than two-thirds of the original sentence. North Vietnam

All the prisoners of war who came here were sentenced to three years, which means that even if some of them could get a commutation, their sentences would not be shorter than two years. However, the batch of hard laborers shipped from the mainland received a little preferential treatment, and they were all sentenced to two years.

With a one-year sentence, if Li Maozai can do well enough, he will be free in a little more than a year.

After working as a foreman at the construction site of Sanya New Port for more than a month, Li Maozi was assigned a new task - to be responsible for bringing new people to the new camp area. This task is not an easy job to get, and it is basically transferred from various hard labor camps.

A squadron leader who performs well in the job will be assigned the job, and the labor points he can earn will be higher than those in the original position.

The labor grade and individual labor points system originally proposed by Ren Liang are also implemented in today's hard labor camps, but the point rules and rewards are different from ordinary naturalized labor. The bottom line of labor intensity for hard labor to obtain points is

It is much higher than that of naturalized citizens, and the deductions are more severe. As long as you do not show up for work, the existing points will be deducted on a daily basis regardless of the reason, instead of just being treated as absenteeism like naturalized citizens. The greatest use of hard labor points is,

In exchange for the reduction of the sentence, one week of ordinary hard labor points can be used to reduce the sentence by one day. After one year of hard labor, the points can be used to reduce the sentence by up to 52 days. This provision is undoubtedly a ray of sunshine in hell for the hard laborers who long for freedom. At the same time,

It can also encourage them to maximize their efforts.

The points that Li Maozai can earn in his current position are almost double those of ordinary hard labor. He will naturally be able to shorten his sentence faster by relying on the accumulation of points. Needless to say, he works hard.

.

Li Maozai's yelling had some effect. The hard laborers in the house hurriedly got up and rushed outside to line up. However, these people were obviously not adapted to the habit of lining up at any time under the Haihan system. It was a mess.

They couldn't stand neatly on the ground for a long time. Li Maozi looked impatient, so he went over and kicked a few people who were not standing well. In this environment, fists and kicks are the best way to educate. Regarding this

Li Maozi also understood this very well - when he first arrived at Wanshan Port, he was often beaten by the foreman.

"When I call you to assemble in the future, stand up for me like this right away! Whoever can't stand well will not be given food!" Li Maozi began to lecture loudly to the row of hard laborers who looked like vegetables: "You guys remember

Come on, you don't live and eat for free here, you have to work hard for Mr. Haihan! We don't support useless people here. If anyone thinks that he can't do it, he can hang himself with his trousers now, so as not to

It’s a waste of food!”

"Now I will take you to work. Remember to follow the command in all your actions. You are not allowed to move unless you are told. Anyone who violates the rules... will not be given food!" Li Maozi put down the speaker and pointed at the leader of the team.

: "You follow me, and the people behind me follow each other. You are not allowed to go out at will. You have to call a report in advance!"

When he reached the gate of the camp, Li Maozi stopped intentionally, pointed to the right side of the gate of the camp and said, "Did you see the guys hanging over there? Those are all people who want to escape. People with this idea,

It’s best to give up the idea now. Those who escape will all be caught with their legs broken and hung on that shelf for public display!”

Due to the poor physical condition of these newcomers, they were not suitable for heavy physical labor, so their working place was arranged near the train station next to the inland port. Their job was to knock the stones needed to build the railway embankment. Although now

The railway section from Sanya New Port to Tiandu has been fully opened to traffic, but there is still a large amount of work to achieve the double-track construction plan that the Executive Committee is trying to achieve. Moreover, according to the planning of Sanya City, a railway line will be built from the inland port along Sanya.

The river bank leads to the railway in the northern coastal plain area to provide transportation capacity for the subsequent agricultural development in the area.

Li Maozi brought the newcomers of the squadron to the construction site, and then brought a small hammer, and each of them gave one. After a simple demonstration, the hard laborers sat on the ground and knocked the stones. They

Today I have to knock stones here for at least four hours to get the food for tonight's meal.

Li Maozi ran to the awning of the station and reported to the inspecting cadres: "Yu Tou, the work has been arranged."

"I know, keep an eye on these newbies, and find out any sneaky ones and send them to the construction site of Pier 3. Someone will naturally teach them the rules." Yu Dashan sat on the bench waiting for the bus and used his straw hat.

Fanning the wind, he responded calmly.

As one of the first batch of naturalized citizens from Conglong, Yu Dashan has gradually been consciously established as a representative figure of naturalized cadres by relevant departments because of his good performance. During the anniversary celebration half a year ago, Yu Dashan was already a naturalized citizen.

The foreman of the Shengli Port Freight Terminal was promoted to the Assistant Director of the Port Management Committee, specifically responsible for assisting Ren Liang in handling immigration matters. Soon after the construction of Sanya New Port began, Yu Dashan was transferred to the New Port and resumed his old job.

However, this foreman is no longer the original foreman. Yu Dashan does not manage specific affairs now, but is responsible for the coordination between the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Construction in the New Port Project. The main target of the work is the hard labor camp. 4.

All hard labor camps were within the scope of Yu Dashan's authority, so in the eyes of grassroots foremen like Li Maozai, Yu Dashan could already be regarded as a high-level big shot.

"Pier 3?" Li Maozai's expression changed slightly after hearing this.

Pier 3 is one of the inland river terminals currently under construction. According to the current construction methods, the renovation of the river bank and the construction of trestles require a large number of workers to go into the water to cooperate with the construction, and this hard work is naturally handed over to the Ministry of Construction.

We have to find a hard labor camp with the lowest operating cost to do it. This job requires soaking in water for several hours every day, which not only consumes a lot of physical energy, but also causes certain harm to the body. There are even cases where the lower body is soaked until it becomes rotten, so it has been

They are all used as a means of punishment to punish some hard laborers to do this work.

"The leaders have said that the main project of the Sanya Inland River Port must be completed before the end of the year. If we want to rush the work, we have to hire people to fill it in." Yu Dashan raised his finger and pointed at the hard laborers sitting in the open knocking stones and said:

"Everyone should be clear about the attitude of the leaders towards these South Vietnamese prisoners of war. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"I understand, I understand completely." Li Maozai quickly responded: "The villain will definitely keep an eye on them. If there is anyone who is disobedient, the villain will do what he wants."

Li Maozai has been at the construction site of Sanya New Port for some time, and naturally he saw that South Vietnamese prisoners of war were treated differently from other people in the hard labor camp. In addition to South Vietnamese prisoners of war, there are also people from Yacheng in the hard labor camp.

Prisoners, naturalized people who committed crimes, and a few prisoners of war from the mainland like Li Maozai. Among these people, the treatment of South Vietnamese prisoners of war is undoubtedly the lowest. These people are basically treated as expendable goods.

Almost all of the most difficult and tiring positions were occupied by South Vietnamese. During this process, South Vietnamese were responsible for the largest number of work-related injuries and overwork deaths.

The main reason for this situation is that the attitude of the Executive Committee has a certain influence. These South Vietnamese are somewhat different from the North Vietnamese in terms of race, language, and living habits. The resources required to transform these people are

It is relatively larger, and there are a large number of naturalized North Vietnamese in the local area. The feud formed by years of civil war cannot be easily resolved. Even if these South Vietnamese can complete the transformation, it will be difficult to integrate into local life. Therefore, although the Executive Committee

They don’t say it in words, but in actual operation, they regard South Vietnamese hard labor as consumables, and the effect is from top to bottom. After reaching the grassroots level, this situation will naturally become more serious. Although under strict supervision, intentional torture of prisoners will not occur.

thing, but there is no doubt that all managers have little sympathy for these South Vietnamese hard laborers.

In other words, the best time for these South Vietnamese hard laborers after arriving in Hong Kong is now. After they have adapted to the local environment and their physical condition has recovered, they will no longer sit on the ground and knock stones.

"Easy" work was done for them. There will definitely be people who can resist until the end of their sentence and regain their freedom, but this number must account for an alarmingly small proportion of the total number of hard labor in South Vietnam.

The current situation of Chuanchuan Group is that the speed of construction and development cannot keep up with the needs of development, and has even caused serious delays in various plans to a certain extent. However, infrastructure projects require a large amount of manpower investment. In order to achieve the goal faster, the Executive Committee

In order to expand externally, it has to put forward almost stringent requirements on the construction period of various projects. If it were not for the large number of free hard labor now available, it would be difficult for the Ministry of Construction to rely on its own strength to complete the requirements of the Executive Committee. For this process

The executive committee members all know that there will definitely be a large amount of personnel losses, but no one will raise it publicly. Even Gu Kai, who likes to defend human rights the most, is smart enough to keep his mouth shut at this time and act as a bystander——

Gu Kai knew very well which side to choose between political correctness and safeguarding human rights.

This harsh exploitation of hard labor is not a big problem in the eyes of the local people. These people are either criminals or war criminals. If they are not hanged by the Haihan leaders, it is considered a mercy. Now

Isn’t it a matter of course to feed them with food and let them work? As for saying that the labor intensity is too high and the treatment is too poor, this is not an issue worthy of debate - if everyone’s treatment is equally good

, then who is willing to try every means to obtain a naturalized place of origin for themselves and their families?

As the strength of the Crossing Group expands, the benefits of naturalization for naturalized citizens are also growing. Nowadays, it is not just about food and clothing, but also corresponding social benefits such as education, medical care and housing are also gradually improving.

Ordinary naturalized families can send their children to local schools. As long as they are naturalized citizens, tuition will be free of charge. Adults can also sign up for various forms of literacy classes, night schools, skills training classes, etc. for free.

Education and training institutions. Since literacy requirements are now included in the labor promotion conditions for naturalized citizens, the enthusiasm of naturalized citizens to actively participate in various literacy classes is much higher than last year.

The down-and-out literati recruited by the Ministry of Civil Affairs through various channels also played a big role in this field. Although their ability to recite poetry and write eight-part essays was of no use in Shengli Port, even if they only taught people to read and read,

The income has also been far higher than before. Although the various textbooks issued by the Haihan people do not include the Four Books and Five Classics, they are all self-compiled content, which may seem a bit deviant, but I lived in Victory Port for a period of time and fully enjoyed the Haihan style.

After the sugar-coated bombs, it was difficult for the down-and-out literati to stick to their ideals, and they all chose to stay here and work as teachers or clerks.

In terms of medical care, in addition to the continuous training of barefoot doctors by relevant units, there are also various other supporting management systems to keep the local medical and health conditions at a high level. The quarantine and isolation system for foreign immigrants, various local infrastructure

The spread of sanitation facilities and the strict regulations on garbage dumping and excrement disposal have greatly promoted the situation. The only ones who are dissatisfied with this are probably the two foreign doctors, because their work is too heavy, seeing a doctor in the morning and visiting the doctor every afternoon.

Teaching, almost completely losing free time. Especially old Morgan, who is deeply dissatisfied with the recent missed opportunities to participate in military operations due to medical work arrangements, and even plans to submit a report and transfer his establishment from the medical department to the Military Commission——

Of course, even if he files this report, it is impossible to get it approved. After all, he is the only cardiovascular disease expert in the entire time-traveling group. In a few years, everyone may have to rely on his medical skills to protect their bodies.

How could you tolerate him being so dishonest?
