Chapter 288: The Contractors
For these old fritters, Wang Yue smiled and said: "This official doesn't even recognize the orders of the imperial court, is it useful for you to shout loudly?" Whoever is unreasonable to his own officials again will be punished for the crime of contempt for his superiors. β
There are also those who don't believe in evil, or how to make old fritters.
Lu Yan, the former leader of the Beijing camp, made a lot of anger today. Isn't it funny that he is a dignified and third-grade military attache who is going to be sent to the new barracks? He is a relative of Cheng Guogong, and he has never been so insulted.
"Lord Wang, if you don't obey the laws of the court and humiliate us, you will be severely punished!" Lu Yan blew his beard at Wang Yue and glared at him, and roared loudly.
Wang Yue slapped the table fiercely and roared loudly: "This is the starting point city, my Wang Yue's private territory, not a place for you to be presumptuous. I don't know if the court can punish you severely, but you despise the officials and deserve to be beheaded according to the law! If you commit a crime for the first time, the sin will be reduced by one degree, and you will go down and receive eighty military sticks! β
After he finished speaking, he waved his hands to both sides, and the gendarmerie team present to maintain order, under the leadership of the captain Zhang Ying, rushed into the crowd like a wolf and pulled Lu Yan out.
Several gendarmerie members dragged Lu Yan to a corner of the hall, pressed him to the ground, and whipped him up with a rubber rod.
In fact, the Tiance Army does not have regulations on beating military sticks, and the military discipline of the Tiance Army is revised and formulated according to the PLA, and there are no regulations on corporal punishment. So there are only rubber sticks, no wooden sticks. But these gendarmerie members were ruthless, and every stick was pumped very hard.
Every time he smoked, Lu Yan screamed miserably, and all the officers in the Beijing camp present trembled.
Lu Yan is a third-grade military attachΓ©, and he was dragged out and pumped to death in just a few words, which was too ruthless.
The rubber rod couldn't whip the dead at all, so after the eighty sticks were sturdy, the grinning Lu Yan was dragged in front of Wang Yue.
Wang Yue asked with a straight face, "Are you guilty now?" β
Lu Yan gasped for air, his lips trembled and replied, "The lower official is guilty, Lord Xie's military stick." β
He saw clearly that this was on Wang Yue's territory, and it was possible to kill him, so he had to admit it.
Wang Yue waved his hand and said, "Go down!" β
As soon as the gendarmerie members let go, Lu Yan collapsed to the ground, and immediately several officers who came with him helped him away.
Seeing that the officers of the Beijing battalion were silent, Wang Yue said: "Our Tiance Army is a combat unit, not only with strict training, but also with strict military discipline. And you guys, how many years haven't you really trained? How many years have you not been on the battlefield? Look for yourself, are those soldiers in the Beijing camp still like soldiers? β
At this point he smiled, and then said, "Supposedly, you people, I don't want to see you. Because you are soldiers, you are old soldiers, and our Tiance Army is a glorious army, how can you people want to destroy the honor of our army? β
What Wang Yue said is the truth, they are not fools, they all understand it in their hearts. The Qing soldiers plundered the Beijing division many times, and the imperial court never relied on them, and they all mobilized the army of King Qin from other places.
So many people are also a little embarrassed, and some people have an attitude of indifference, anyway, this is not caused by them, it is all done from above, and they can't do anything.
Wang Yue smiled and said: "You soldiers are not like soldiers, you will not be like generals, in fact, you usually do other livelihoods, just like ordinary citizens of Beijing." You rushed to our starting point city in a hurry, wanting to infiltrate our Tiance army, not to fight, but to pay for our army's high salary, am I right? β
After saying that, he looked left and right, which was also true, so most people were embarrassed to look at him.
"Don't you people just want to make money? I, Wang Yue, welcome you to come to the starting point city to earn silver, not by stealing or robbing, and without mixing into the Tiance army to get military salaries, even more than entering the Tiance army! After the stick was beaten, Wang Yue took out the carrot.
Hearing Wang Yue's words, the eyes of the officers in the Beijing camp below lit up, and many people asked excitedly: "Lord Wang, how do you earn this silver?" You talk to us. β
"Yes, Lord Wang, tell me!"
If you want to evaluate the richest man in the Ming Dynasty now, Wang Yue must deserve it, so Wang Yue wants to give you a way to make money, which is absolutely not wrong.
Wang Yue smiled and said: "As you know, construction is going on everywhere in the starting point city, so there has always been a shortage of people!" The Yongding River Bridge, the Beijing Ring Highway, the highway from Tongzhou to Tianjin, and the highway from the starting point to Baoding will all start construction this year. In addition, Shijingshan has to build a residential building for workers, and a large number of workers will be needed after the factories over there are started one after another. We calculated that there is a shortage of no less than 300,000 people! β
"Lord Wang, I'll wait, I'll wait for that...!" Many people want to speak and stop talking.
Wang Yue laughed and said, "I know, you are military officers, and you can't let go of your work to work." But you have to use your brains! Won't you bring people to do it? As many people can you bring, and how much work I will give you, the wages of the workers will be paid by us from the city from which we started. You are a contractor, and your subordinates have more than 200 people, and they will be paid ten taels a month, and you can also have a commission of one dollar according to the number of people you bring, that is, twenty taels per month. Together, there is an income of thirty taels per month. β
In fact, there are detailed regulations for this, there will be rewards for completing on time, there will be penalties for late completion, and there will be accountability for quality problems. Wang Yuexian first gave a general introduction, which is easy for them to understand.
This purpose is to use the method of dealing with the Dagukou coastal defense battalion to disintegrate the Beijing battalion. There are still 20,000 or 30,000 troops in the Beijing camp, and the construction of the starting point city does have to recruit a large number of people. The use of contract labor can reduce the management burden of the starting point city, and is also conducive to the diffusion of construction technology.
What are these officers in the Beijing camp trying to do, aren't they just trying to get money and life? No one has to enter the Tiance Army to serve the country, Wang Yue's cake is too tempting, even more tempting than entering the Tiance Army.
"Lord Wang, this job is handed over to me, I can bring at least 800 people to do it!" Zhao Qingchi, the former Beijing camp counselor, slapped his chest with a bang! How many people are there in the camp? Except for some on duty, most of the 20,000 or 30,000 people are begging for a living in Beijing! As the leader of the Beijing camp, I don't know how many people followed me when I gave an order, and the 800 people were conservative. After all, the monthly salary of a worker in the starting point city is three taels, and it is not difficult to recruit people at all.
"I can take five hundred people!"
"I can take three hundred people!"
The little officer hesitated and asked, "Lord Wang, I may not be able to recruit even fifty people!" β
Where can a junior officer compete with a senior officer?
Wang Yue smiled and said: "It's okay, you can recruit people for our starting point city, settle every ten people, and tattoo silver one tael!" β
