Although in the form of traditional Chinese missions, there are such sayings as one from every fifth child, one from every third child, and no one from an only son, in actual operation, it often happens that big families pass on the burden to the poor. Not only does missionary work not have any
In order to pay, you have to prepare your own food and clothing. Small poor households often suffer from the huge burden of missions and the loss of the main labor force of the family, and their families are ruined.
The beginning of spring is the arrival of the traditional busy farming season. The occupation of labor force is a serious matter for both large and small households.
Therefore, from the beginning, Wu De believed that free labor was inappropriate and might even intensify conflicts with the local people in Lingao. In contrast, hiring labor was more appropriate.
Now their labor teams are actually hired, but they are all voluntary. If they rely solely on voluntariness, the labor teams across the group will never be able to meet the needs. Now it is convenient to let each village provide them through administrative means.
More. When using labor, we can accurately estimate how much labor can be used.
We have now agreed with each village that all villages will be divided into three categories: large, medium and small according to their population. The first-class village will be assigned ten men, the middle-class five and the lower-class two. If it is indeed a village with few men, you can apply for exemption - but this
It can only be confirmed after on-site investigation. Which level each village is considered to be in is still based on the self-reporting model. However, the size of the village is obvious to all on weekdays. It is obviously unwise to play tricks on this.
In this way, excluding those particularly small villages, the approximately 300 villages participating in the meeting can provide approximately 1,000 young men. These young men are managed by the Cross-Travel Group and their service period is one year. After one year, they can return.
The village will send another person to replace him. If he is unwilling to go back, he can continue to serve.
The young men who come to serve are all paid, which is what Wu De emphasized. Each young man is treated according to the current treatment of the labor force of the time traveler. He is provided with rations and can receive wages at the end of the year.
Each village originally thought that the sentinels would have to pay for their own rations and so on. Now that they heard that the young men did not need to be supported by the village and could still get wages, they were so grateful for the generosity of the crossing group: although these thieves did a good job
It's a business of murder and arson, but when it comes to caring for the people, the government is really far behind. The favorability rating has increased again.
Then there was the matter of establishing the Bairen Security Group. On this matter, there was a long bargaining between the county government and the executive committee. Although the county government had almost no control over what the Crossing Group wanted to do,
The establishment of such an armed force right under his nose was obviously not what Magistrate Wu wanted. However, the establishment of a security group was the first step for the Crossing Army to gradually annex and integrate the entire county. Therefore, the Crossing Group refused to give in. In the end, it only promised: within three years
The size of the security group should be controlled within 1,000 people. At the same time, the county government's Dian Shi can be accepted as the nominal leader.
The first source of soldiers for the security regiment is the strong men sent from each village. The crossing army will select a number of men from the strong men sent from each village to serve as regimental soldiers. The second source is the local warriors from each village. According to the plan, each village will be selected according to its size.
and the population to formulate a township brave team. Villages that do not have a township warrior will help equip and train the township warriors from the Chuanchuan community. The township warriors from each village will be transferred to the Bairencheng Office in batches to participate in the training of the security team, and together they will be responsible for the security duties in the county.
, the term of service of this militia is three months.
The mission of the security group is mainly to suppress bandits and resist pirates. The Bairen Office will also establish an early warning liaison system throughout the county, restore and repair beacon towers that were set up in ports where pirates easily landed to resist Japanese pirates in the past, and provide security once pirates land.
The regiment was dispatched to intercept the pirates.
This approach is actually the same as the six-village joint protection in Huangjiazhai, except that the time-travelers expanded it to the entire county, allowing each village to have basic self-protection capabilities in the face of small groups of bandits and pirates. The time-traveling regime has
The only way to improve the security situation in the county to the greatest extent without excessively consuming one's own troops is to organize a militia system - back then, TG relied on this to completely eliminate areas with serious banditry. Of course.
The Executive Committee knew very well that this kind of militia system could not cope with the encirclement and suppression by the official army. After all, the official army occupied the official position of the imperial court. However, it was still feasible to use it to defend the hometown and fight against bandits.
This detailed explanation was unanimously approved by the representatives of each village. Wu Ya also secretly appreciated that the "thieves" had many methods, but he also scolded the representatives of each village in his heart: Back then, the county wanted to carry out joint defense in different areas, and each country
The village either complained about poverty or shied away, and could not get anything done. Now that the short hair came and burned and looted a Goujiazhuang, everyone immediately obeyed. It was really shameless.
The representatives also raised demands for the treatment of the rural warriors during their service in the security corps. After all, the rural warriors are also strong laborers, and sending some of them will naturally affect their production. Wu De was already prepared for this issue: he said that all rural warriors who come to serve for a short period of time will
Brave, you can get 30 yuan of circulation coupons every month. This money can buy 30 kilograms of rice, which is quite good as a reward. If you are injured in the battle, the time traveler will be responsible for the treatment; if you are disabled, the time traveler will be responsible for the treatment.
The group is responsible for providing support; even those who die in battle will be compensated by the time-traveling group. If orphans and widows are left without anyone to take care of them, they will all be supported by the time-traveling group.
This condition was announced, and it immediately caused a sensation in the whole place, and everyone was talking about it. Over the years, brave men from villages and villages have been fighting against bandits, and dead people have happened from time to time, so the village will just give them some money to burn and bury them. If a single person comes from outside,
, even the money was saved, and the matter was buried directly in a thin-skinned coffin. The promise of the "Kun Thief" was so good that it made people suspicious.
Huang Xunkun said secretly: "This is nothing more than deceiving local warriors to fight with their lives. Even the imperial court has no such example. Are they Bodhisattvas?"
"You're right, even the imperial court can't afford to fight like this, let alone them!"
Suspicion was doubtful, but the representatives who came to the meeting did not question it anymore - anyway, now the time travelers are the masters of Lingao, they can do whatever they say, so everyone has no choice but to listen to it. Some people, especially those who have dealt with time travel groups,
People believe that the travelers will keep their word. After all, they have not yet failed to keep their word since they landed.
The meeting had already reached noon. Although they had been listening to speeches all morning, because it was related to the vital interests of each village, every representative listened carefully. Although there were discussions from time to time, the order was in order. Now I feel hungry.
Naturally, it affected the concentration. At this time, Hou Li Yuanyuan came on stage again, announced the break of the meeting, and brought food to everyone.
Lunch was pushed on a cart. The male and female students distributed it to the delegates. Each person received a polished wooden box. After opening, the meal was much richer than everyone imagined - rice and sliced bacon.
Green vegetables, and the legendary scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Very real. Then there was another bamboo tube stuffed with a plug. Huang Hankun opened it and took a whiff. Inside was a light soup, probably made of some kind of fish and kelp.
It was cooked. He took a sip and found it tasted extremely sweet - the thieves ate really well.
Huang Hankun looked around while eating. He saw that the young men and women distributing the food seemed to speak Cantonese. He knew Hainan Mandarin. There was not much difference between the two. Don't try to ask:
"Are you Kun, no, Mr. Australia's family?"
The boys and girls all laughed and said nothing. Only a boy wearing a small white cloth with some patterns on his arm said: "We are students of a national school."
"Students?" Huang Hankun was puzzled. "Thieves" still run schools? What do they do in running schools? They teach people to kill and set fire. They don't teach the books of saints, otherwise they wouldn't be pirates.
But he couldn't say this in front of these "little thieves", so he asked again: "What is this place used for?"
"This is a movie theater," said the leader, "Little Kun Thief." "It's usually a place where movies are shown."
"What is a shadow play?"
The student was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Of course I will entertain all the representatives in the evening, and you will understand then."
Huang Hankun wanted to ask some questions, but these "little thieves" were very tight-lipped and just laughed without answering.
They all seemed to be children of good families, but they took some kind of hallucinogenic drugs and actually considered a thief as their father! Huang Hankun secretly sighed.
After lunch, Li Yuanyuan announced a half-hour break. Everyone could take a walk around the venue for convenience. However, they were not allowed to cross the lime line around the venue. Huang Hankun took the opportunity to survey around the venue and walked along the lime line.
He circled around, trying to see more of the scene in Bairen City. The most striking thing he saw was a tall iron tower in the center of the city.
The foundation of this tower is partially hidden among several distinctive gray buildings. The tower is made of black steel and is as tall as twenty people. It becomes thinner and thinner as it goes up, until it becomes a pointed head.
So far. It has a shiny tip on it.
The hometown of this "Kun Thief" must be good at smelting iron, so all kinds of objects are made of iron. No wonder people say that the Kun Thieves constantly use ships to smuggle iron items from the mainland to the island.
It's just that Huang Hankun couldn't figure out the use of this tower made entirely of iron. In his opinion, it was a complete waste - so much iron was worth a lot of money no matter what it was used for. He
He wanted to take a closer look, but he was immediately blocked by a man wearing gray clothes with a belt around his waist. The man swung his long black-blue musket across the line, and he had no choice but to retreat behind the line.
The color of this gun is almost the same as the hand gun picked up from the scene when he killed his third brother. Unfortunately, his father could no longer fire it after he shot it once, and he didn't know how Zi Yao was loaded. Huang Hankun thought about it.
He had to find an opportunity to try this kind of gun - shouldn't he want to form a security group? He had made up his mind and would personally lead Xiang Yong to participate when the time came to see how powerful the "Kun Thieves" were in fighting.
I'd like to get a gun like this if I get a chance.
