Chapter 203: Settlements and Prisoner Camps
There is no success that does not need to pay a price, and the Workshop Army can have a great reputation in Danling, which is the result of a lot of blood and sweat paid by the soldiers of the Workshop Army.
Zhao Yuan returned to the barracks, cheered up and gave everyone some words, commended the soldiers of the workshop army who sent troops to Tongyi this time, and arranged for the logistics manager to distribute the rewards and materials to the soldiers.
"Alas!" With a sigh, Zhao Yuan's mind was full of the sad widow of Li Peng.
Back in the study of the barracks house, Zhao Yuan found pen, ink and paper, and began to write to calm his mood.
In the resettlement site, Meng Ying took a few children, under the protection of Shao Meng, Guo Du and the workshop army team, watching around.
"Who's that, and the Workshop Army is protecting it."
"Those children are so clever and cleanly dressed, they can't be the family members of the officials."
……
"Don't talk, it's our host's wife who has come to see you." Chen Quanying, a woman foreman working in a cement workshop, said she had come with her housekeeper to help house the women and children.
The settlement on this side of the cement workshop should be very crowded due to the large number of people, and the women and children were in much better spirits after a night of repairing, and they also heard from the women of the cement workshop how the workshop army would arrange for them.
Although they will be separated from their own men, these women are rarely sad, and most of them have been caught up in the mountains. Some women don't have children, but they don't want to go home because they have lost their virginity and been insulted, and they are brought to this side of Grayplain by the Workshop Army, which is what they willing.
"Sister Chen, will the workshop army really arrange for us to work, and after I go to work, my children can also study in the school founded by Master Zhao like the children in the workshop?" A woman asked, expectantly.
"Of course, you guys are also lucky, now everything is done here in the cement workshop, but we just send people to work, I think when we first came, there was nothing here, and the accommodation is not as good as you." Chen Quanying whispered.
"However, we are the women of the mountain bandits, and the workshop army will not ......"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't follow your man out to rob and hurt people, our owner will not punish you, didn't the lady of the owner come to see you, she is the most soft-hearted. You're not going to do that unconscionable thing, are you? ”
"How can this be!"
……
"Auntie, there are so many people here, what are we doing here?" In the resettlement site, Luoluo hugged Meng Ying's arm and asked.
"Luoluo, these people will all have to work in the workshop in the future, and now the weather is so cold, you see, there are children younger than you, Auntie will come to see if there is anything that can help." Meng Ying said.
"Yes, that brother is so pitiful, he is so cold that his nose is runny." Luoluo looked in the direction Meng Ying pointed, and there was a child with a slippery nose.
"Sister, how can we help?" Meng Xiaobao wondered.
"After a while, the people in the workshop will arrange work for the adults, and these children will be left unattended, they just came here, Xiaobao, Luoluo, Xingxing, Xiaoya, and we will take these children over three years old together in a while, and go to the place where Laozhutian Village takes care of the children, don't you help." Meng Ying said with a smile.
"In that case, are they going to be separated from their mothers?" Luoluo wondered.
"It's just a temporary separation, the place where they live here is very poor, and when their mothers start working and the house is repaired, they can be brought back, and those over six years old will be sent to the academy to study." Meng Ying said.
"That's okay, I've been separated from my uncle for a while, although it's sad, but it's good that my uncle is back, auntie, what is my uncle going to do, when will I be busy?"
"When we go back, your uncle should be busy and wait for us at home." Meng Ying touched Luoluo's little head.
In the Baishi Mountain settlement, there is an inherent rhythm every day, some families go to work in the cement workshop, some go to the biscuit workshop and canning workshop in the market to work, and some send the children to the academy, and by the way, do some logistics, everything seems to be in order.
"Meet the lady and lady of the host!" Seeing Meng Ying arrive with a group of people, the old people assigned by the cement workshop to assist in the placement of the newcomers saluted respectfully.
"You're welcome, let's come over and take a look, you are Sister Chen, how is the arrangement here, are there any difficulties?" Meng Ying asked.
"There is no difficulty, there is enough food in the owner and the workshop, but it is much better than when we first came here, they are all hard-working people, and now they all understand that they have been rescued, and they are very cooperative." Chen Quanying replied with a smile.
"Okay, you go ahead and make arrangements, let's come here to take a look, and do a little favor by the way." Meng Ying nodded, and asked Chen Quanying and the steward here to continue to arrange.
On the other side of the settlement, it was calm and orderly, but on the other side of the prisoner camp, it was in dire straits.
"So stupid, what kind of bandit and bandit are you, I'm curious how you survived until now."
"You're still laughing, you can't see that the person in front of you is taller than you, line up in order of tallness!"
"And you, what are you going to do with a pair of donkey eyes, you still think you are the third master of the bandits, come, you two take him to sober up!"
……
"Old Qi, don't toss too hard, adults want these people to do the work." Fan Kun saw Qi Biao's bloody appearance and persuaded in a low voice.
"Don't worry, what the adults ordered, I have measure." Qi Biao restrained a little and nodded to Fan Kun.
"Now, when I read the name, come to the left, know which side is on the left, this is it, Zhang ...... What is your name, monkey, you pronounce. Qi Biao was about to take a roll call, but found that when he picked up the roster and looked at it, he didn't know the first name.
"Head, I won't do this either, Fan Tou, you come."
"If you don't study hard, bring it." Fan Kun shook his head, helplessly looking at the team of living treasures of the Workshop Army, he really didn't understand how he became a bandit in the first place.
"Zhang Tao, Huang Qi, Huang Shan ......" Captain Fan Kun picked up the roster and read the names of nearly a thousand captives one by one, these people have been screened and have no major evil deeds.
"Congratulations, you can go directly to work in various parts of the cement workshop, as long as you work for two years and perform well, you can go wherever you want, but I don't think you will want to leave at that time." Fan Kun finished reading the names of the nearly a thousand people, and after they all came out, he said to them.
"Really, as long as we work for two years, we can leave?"
Among these people, some people said in disbelief that after two years of work, no matter how hard it is, they must work hard, and if they finish their work, it would be good if they could join the workshop army.
"I'll still lie to you, don't worry, now, take you to the stewards of the workshop, and let them send you work." Fan Kun nodded, and sent someone to leave the prisoner camp with these people first.
These people will be assigned to the easier guys in the cement workshop, and where they go depends on their luck.
"Big boss, what should we do, there are only five people left in our cottage."
"What are you afraid of, you didn't kill anyone, it's me who should be worried now." Zhang Er Mazi said angrily.
Yesterday, he heard the news that a bandit leader like himself, who still understands the rules, will be punished for a few more years of hard work at most, and there is no problem in surviving, so he is also much more stable, and he is not as trembling as he was when he came.
