Xu Zhong thought for a while and said, "Although this Yao Commander is a little more welcoming, he is also dedicated to doing things. So many houses were repaired thanks to Yao's urging and rushing work. ”

Li Buqi said: "It's just that I think Commander Yao is a little mean to his army. ”

Xu Zhong disagreed: "Most of the troops in the world are like this. Commander Yao was just a little more tempered. ”

Li Buqi didn't say anything about this, but asked: "What does Commander Yao always seem to arrange for that head named Zheng He?" ”

Xu Zhong said: "Yes. Raise your eyesight, and you can see it as soon as you come. This Zheng He seems to be highly regarded in this command, and he is also a method, so Yao commands him to do everything. ”

Li Buqi nodded and stood up and said, "Then you follow me to see the situation of the Xiang army." In the future, it will be mainly up to them to do the work. ”

On the way, Li Buqi asked: "What kind of errand did Jiyi do before?" ”

Xu Zhong said: "Xia Guan used to work in the shop. ”

"Oh, then Jiyi should be very experienced. I don't know how to make these people in the test site make more money for the officials? ”

Xu Zhong thought for a while, and then said: "Naturally, it is strictly controlled to prevent them from being lazy." ”

Li Buqi shook his head: "There are only a few of us, where can we watch hundreds of people?" Even if you see ten, hundreds, and hundreds of other people are lazy while you can't see? Besides, there are a lot of them, as long as one person comes up with a solution, the tired people can't deal with it. ”

Xu Zhong asked: "Then is there a way to lift it?" ”

"The best way to do this is to make the people who work feel that working hard is good for them," Li said. In this way, they will take their work as their own business and will not be lazy. ”

"How can they be made to do the work assigned to them as their own business?"

Li Buqi pointed to the Xiang Jun who were carrying the steaming tools and said, "You must let them do this work, so that they can get real benefits." For example, if an official eats meat, they have to let them drink some soup. ”

Xu Zhong is in charge of people, it's not that he doesn't understand this truth, isn't it that the interests are evenly distributed, but no one has ever said it so clearly like Li Buqi. Hearing this, Xu Zhong understood, but he was a little disapproving: "It makes sense, it's just that these Xiangjun are lazy, and only by putting the copper coins in front of their eyes will they be a little more diligent." ”

Li Buqi was a small leader before the crossing, and he thinks that he has a good understanding of the psychology of these people. He said confidently: "Seeing money and knowing to be diligent means that they still want to live a good life." It's just that they need a clear outlook, and if they work hard and there may be no reward, they will naturally get by. Before Shang Ying's reform, a piece of wood was erected outside the city gate, and someone carried it to another city gate and immediately rewarded a sum of money, which was to make the people believe that he was talking and counting. My words count, but it is impossible for a few of us to personally give money and food to these people one by one. Even if I promise them more work and more rewards, they will have to worry that the money and food will not reach them. ”

Xu Zhong asked: "Does the promotion mean that Yao commanded?" ”

Li Buqi said: "We need a communication channel between us and these van soldiers that they can trust." ”

Xu Zhong thought for a while and said, "That's right. The lower officer heard that the change of command of the Xiang army is a matter of one sentence. And this box army is running for Ouchi, as long as Zhang Duzhi nods. It's just that who is going to be in charge of this army? ”

With this sentence, Yao Fu's whereabouts were decided, and Li Buqi said: "There are hundreds of people in this Xiang army, and there are always one or two who they can trust and can do things, so let them choose one by themselves." ”

Xu Zhong was so shocked that his mouth grew: "It's really novel to lift this method." But if they are allowed to choose their own leaders, if they make trouble, it will not be easy to suppress them. ”

Li Buqi snorted coldly: "If they are given the opportunity to live a good life and make trouble, then it is no wonder that others go." The box army also has military regulations! Besides, there are more than 600 recruits over there, and it will not be a problem to train for a few days to suppress the 2 or 300 Xiang troops. ”

Saying that, he looked at Wang Zhaoming and Ge Shengwen, and the three of them hurriedly expressed their determination: "Don't worry, we will definitely step up our training, and we will never make a mistake." ”

Xu Zhong saw that Li Buqi was really a master of killing and decisiveness as Zhang Yonghe said, so he didn't say anything anymore. Anyway, Zhang Yonghe explained, as long as Li Buqi doesn't make any trouble, don't interfere with Li Buqi, and besides, he also wants to do a good job in the test field, which is also a great credit for him. Therefore, Xu Zhong stopped talking.

The Xiang army is all with their families, and now the men have gone to work in the newly built winery, and only some old and young women and children are left in the place where they live, and when they see Li Buqi and they are all frightened, they all hide in the low adobe house, leaving a pile of wild vegetables at the door that have not been selected, only a few old men stand under the eaves with their hands bowed, nervously watching a group of nobles come over.

Li Buqi walked to the door of a family, glanced at the wild vegetables in the basket, and called an old man: "Old man, can you get the money and food for the past few months?" ”

The old man hurriedly nodded and replied, "I have received everything, I have received everything." ”

Li Buqi asked again: "But you received it in full?" ”

The old man had a bitter face when he asked this question, but he just saw that Xu Zhong was present, but he didn't dare to say it. Xu Zhong was such a shrewd person, he immediately saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly cleared it up: "The money and food of your Xiang army were all sent by Yao to receive and distribute, and it has nothing to do with me. Just say it. This is Li Tiju, if you have any grievances, just say it, Li Tiju will call the shots for you. ”

Li Buqi said again: "You will all listen to my arrangement of work in the future." As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so I naturally want to know whether you are well fed and how much work you can do. ”

Li Buqi put himself completely in the position of a landlord and a capitalist, but the old man believed it, and said with some worry and expectation: "We can only get 20% a month." This is still Zheng Dutou's fight for everyone. Ask the official to tell Yao about it, and then give us an extra 20%. ”

"Zheng Dutou? Zheng He? ”

"Exactly."

"I think Commander Yao is very important to Zheng Dutou, and he will arrange everything for him."

Speaking of Zheng He, the old man immediately talked more: "Zheng Dutou is a good worker, and he also knows how to be compassionate. With him leading the group, the same work is labor-saving and labor-saving, and we are better than other conductors. ”

Zhang Yonghe once promised Li Buqi that he would definitely transfer the best box army to the test site, and it seems that this commander could be selected because there were capable people in it.

Li Buqi asked the old man about the actual number of this army and some other information, and left, and walked around to the new alcohol workshop. Now the van army has moved all the things on the carriage and is building a stove and cleaning it under the command of Mao Xiaoyi.

Commander Yao probably wanted to show that he was concerned about his work, and personally led several heads to supervise the work in the workshop. And their method of supervising the work is to carry a leather whip and a wooden stick and shout constantly, and if anyone is not pleasing to the eye, they will whip it twice, and it seems that Li Buqi is adding to the chaos.

What about Zheng He? I didn't see Zheng He. When I walked to the empty field behind the courtyard, I saw Zheng He directing some people to dry food and wash utensils. Unlike several other military leaders, Zheng He didn't shout much, just assigned tasks, and then checked the implementation, and reminded two sentences when he saw any deficiencies in the work. And the soldiers listened to him.

Now Li Buqi is relieved. These vans are in charge.
