Chapter 130: Workers and Foremen
Man is a very adaptable creature.
No matter what kind of changes occur in the living environment, life still has to go on.
So there was a new king in the city, and when the sun was born the next day, it was as if it hadn't happened.
In particular, the new king of Qiancheng was very mysterious, neither proclaiming his dominance in a high-profile manner, nor making murderous demonstrations, but only sending some people to investigate from house to house.
And more importantly, instead of robbing them of their food, property, wives and children, the new king gave them some very useful tools, such as brooms for sweeping the floor, mops for mopping the floor, etc., which they had never heard of but were very useful daily tools.
This made the resistance of the residents of the city to the mysterious new king melt a lot.
Except for the fact that there were many more majestic and mighty guards patrolling the city on the city wall, and there were many ox carts and deer carts pulling grain in and out of the city on the streets, the whole city did not seem to have changed in any way.
But everyone knows that the lords of those big clans in the inner city will never appear in the city again.
But none of this has anything to do with them, because the clan they are attached to still exists, and as long as they know that they can live in peace and security in this city, then nothing else matters.
In addition, the only thing that puzzled the residents of the city was that they received a strange order from their clan.
There is no longer a slave population in the city, and everyone is a commoner.
If there are no slaves, who will work to feed them?
The first question that came to everyone's mind after receiving this order.
Because they themselves relied on the commander to supervise the work of the slaves in exchange for food, and now that there is no food, should they go hunting and farming?
People who are used to being in the office suddenly let them go down to run the business and do the grassroots, even these people are dissatisfied with this kind of thing.
But immediately after the leader explained the new task to them, their dissatisfaction disappeared, and they even felt a little happy.
There were no slaves, but there were 'workers'.
In the future, these workers will not only work as ploughing, but also mining, paving, burning, digging ditches, etc.
And their job is still to help these workers do their jobs better, as long as they do enough work, they can not only get more food than before, but even exchange the surplus food for some other things, such as livestock and even houses.
And these things belong to them personally, and they can be disposed of at will.
All the property of Bai Di before belonged to King Bai Di in name, but in fact it did belong to several major clans, and these commoners were only attached to the vines of the big trees of these clans, the houses they lived in, and the clothes they wore were all rewards that belonged to King Bai Di, even women, and they also belonged to King Bai Di's rewards.
But they were glad that the new king had allowed them to exchange their personal belongings, and that the greatest difference between them and the slaves was that they had desires and fantasies.
At the same time, there are also a large number of 'aliens' in the city.
These 'aliens' are the new kings who have come to teach and guide their work.
Although these aliens were also dressed in animal skins, they felt more luxurious than the clan nobles in the inner city, and everyone, male and female, was clean, with meticulous hair and a foreign language they did not understand.
It's easy to feel distancing when you're clean and tidy.
The people of the lonely bamboo country are imperceptibly under Wang Xu's subtle requirements, and Wang Xu calls on everyone to soak in hot springs, so even if everyone works during the day no matter how dirty it is, go back to take a bath in the bathhouse at night, and the next day will become clean.
Over time, I have developed a habit of dressing neatly even when I don't work.
Therefore, these people in Guzhuguo who take a bath and wash their faces every day have a natural sense of nobility in the eyes of the people of Qiancheng.
It may be that human beings have a sense of awe for cleanliness and tidiness.
In addition to the rumors that came out of nowhere, the new king is a real immortal descending to earth, and these people are all immortal servants who have descended to earth to teach them techniques.
I heard that it was the gift of the immortals who made the people of Qiancheng extra serious when learning various skills.
The amount of work that 100,000 slaves can bring is very considerable, but it is still necessary to coordinate and cooperate so as not to deviate from the subject.
Iron smelting, casting, and animal husbandry have not been thoroughly mastered even in the country, so naturally they will not be taught to these people in Qiancheng.
These people can only take the workers and do some simple mechanical repetitive work that does not require much skill.
For example, digging pits, mining, logging, plowing, laying the ground and laying tracks, these five simple tasks, Wang Xu established a department, called the Ministry of Infrastructure.
There were 5,400 people in the city who could hold the position of foreman.
Wang Xu transferred 500 skilled workers from the Guzhu Country who were already proficient in the Ministry of Infrastructure, and took 5,000 of them to start learning to adapt to work, and after these 5,000 people mastered these skills, they were assigned to 20 workers, so that they could work in small shifts perfectly.
The advantage of small class work is that it can be more detailed, which is very suitable for workers who have poor learning ability to guide and supervise the foreman.
The remaining 400 people were all outstanding talents selected by various clans, and Wang Xu assigned them to Moren's Ministry of Transportation to learn driving and route planning techniques.
With the help of a master and personal wealth, these residents of the city, who could only wield whips and enslave slaves, learned basic skills in a week.
Those who pass the assessment can go to Zhai Qiu to select their own workers.
After the selection, these foremen also take a lesson.
That is Zhai Qiu's 'Worker Protection Law' science lesson.
The content of Zhai Qiu's class is very simple and rude, that is, in front of someone, he acted skillfully, unraveled a cow or a sheep like a cloud of peers, and then put it in a hot pot for them to eat.
Then he told them with his cold eyes and a voice that made everyone creep.
"Any foreman who abuses or oppresses the workers and does not treat them as friends will be like these animals."
Therefore, every foreman who has taken Zhai Qiu's class will have a serious illness when he goes back, and then under the urging of the clan leader, he will take the workers to work.
Zhai Qiu became a nightmare for all the foremen in the city, but he enjoyed the work, and sometimes he was in a good mood and would show a stiff smile at them.
It is conceivable that such a terrible Zhai feud has undoubtedly the highest status and prestige in the hearts of the people of Qiancheng.
And the other person with the highest prestige in Qiancheng is Qiu He, who always greets people with a smile and makes people feel like a spring breeze.
After Qiu He was appointed by Wang Xu to become Sima, he took over all the things in Qiancheng, but after he took office, he only did one thing, that is, to distribute tools.
The iron picks, shovels, axes, saws and other tools used in the work were all handled by him personally and distributed to the foremen, so the big people that the foremen were most familiar with, except for Zhai Qiu, was Qiu He.
A handsome-looking, gentle and enthusiastic big man will naturally be loved by everyone, and even some things that can't be said to the head of his clan, the foremen are willing to tell Qiu He.
After all, for them, nobles like Qiu He and Zhai Qiu were unattainable in the past, but now they can not only see them every day, but even listen to their teachings, which makes the people of Qiancheng slowly begin to like the new king's rule.
Especially when the first batch of wood-brick bungalows for workers were built outside the city, the aborigines of the city began to envy those workers.
These subtle changes are bringing new breath to the decaying and dead city.
The amount of work of 100,000 laborers is worse than Wang Xu imagined, but it is already very amazing.
After all, more than 2,000 years ago, the eastern Liaodong region was still in the most primitive deep forest state, and the city of Qiancheng, which has been reclaimed and developed in eastern Liaodong for nearly 1,000 years, is still surrounded by jungle hills of towering giant trees.
Although Wang Xu found the location of the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan in the later generations, he calculated that it would take at least half a year for these 100,000 laborers to reclaim here, and it was only a simple cutting down of the forest, not counting the paving of the hardened ground.
But Wang Xu still chose to build the city first in this canyon, standing at this time is still a cluster of mountains and mountains, has not been built by Qin Shi Huang into a view of the sea platform Jieshi Mountain somewhere, although the scenery is still quite peculiar, Wang Xu really can not give birth to Qin Shi Huang that kind of pride, looking at this scene and making "Jieshi Gate Ci".
"Then the division and brigade are revived, and there is no way to kill, and they are destroyed for the reverse.
The martial arts are violent and rebellious, Wenfu is not guilty, and his heart is subdued.
Benefit on merit, reward cattle and horses, and serve the soil.
The emperor's order is to strive for power, Germany and princes, and the first Taiping.
Corrupt the city, break through the Sichuan defense, and raze the danger.
The terrain is established, Li Shu has no rope, and the world is threatened.
Men enjoy their domains, women cultivate their careers, and everything is orderly.
Hui is all produced, and the reason for a long time is not disturbed.
The ministers recited the martyr, please engrave this stone and hang the etiquette. ”
There is no Cao Cao's energetic spirit, and he has issued such an emotion as "Watching the Sea" that has been passed down through the ages.
"The east is adjacent to the Jieshi to view the sea. The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging.
The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging.
The trip of the sun and the moon, if out of it. The stars are splendid, if out of it.
Fortunately, even ya, the song is a song. ”
In this place, there are a total of eight emperors in history, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde, Sima Yi, Tuoba Jun, Gao Yang, Yang Guang, Li Shimin, basically everyone here is proud to leave some good stories through the ages.
I don't know if this place is really the same as Mount Tai, only with the emperor can have an electrocardiogram.
But Wang Xu couldn't say anything other than 'the sea breeze is really wet and salty' this time.
may also be destined to Wang Xu not having the luck to be an emperor.
On the contrary, Wang Li was very happy and sighed, "What a good place, adjacent to Yanshan on the left and Bohai Sea on the right, it is a choke place where soldiers must fight. ”
