Tiangong, C-head workshop.

Atul stood at the base of the wall with excitement, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, because today was the day when the proprietor, who had been told all sorts of far-fetched things, had come to inspect the house, and it was said that he would choose someone to do things in his house.

As a member of many workshops under Tiangong, even if he is a small worker who does miscellaneous helpers, he still has to be a novice who is often scolded by those foremen and craftsmen, which still makes him a little happy.

In particular, for the vast number of workshop workers and apprentices in the lower city who have to live for at least eight hours a day to have basic food and clothing, the requirements and treatment of the workers in the owner where he belongs are really much more generous.

You must know that although the local workshops in Guangfu rarely directly use feudal slaves as workers, but under the coercion and constraints of Guangfu, they use more northerners who are entrenched in other states to avoid some kind of redundant payment caused by hiring locals.

But

Moreover, Atul also knew that it was said that in some Yuanzhou mines and smelting workshops, those first-generation feudal slaves who were too light-skinned or too dark-skinned, were used as two-legged animals and cheap consumables who could not communicate normally.

They eat rancid water that they don't even smell of pigs and dogs, live in shacks with no ventilation and lighting, and can only huddle people together as much as possible, crawling and working with their bodies on their backs, and many of them have never had a chance to see the light of day again a few times in their lives.

The only chance to leave may be until one day, squeezed to the last bit of physical strength and spirit, turned into an abandoned corpse carried out, or accidentally had an accident in extreme exhaustion and hardship, and became a ghost buried in a collapsed mine, crushed to death under a minecart.

Compared to other sources of feudal slaves, the source of labor here was more punitive, mainly those who had rebelled in the region, or who had been conquered by the dynasty, and who had resisted to the end and were severely punished according to the city and region.

For these foreign barbarians who are unwilling to belong to the king and accept the light of civilization, the strategy of the dynasty is to ruthlessly adopt the means of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and killing chickens and monkeys as an example of punishment.

After organized looting and massacres in the designated punishment areas, the remaining males who were more than half a round old were sold into slavery in different places, and young women who were fertile were given to soldiers or to new and old naturalized people of all races.

Then, the remaining blanks will be refilled with household resettlement, and the so-called "land will change owners, people will be changed" to completely cut off the soil for potential recurrence and resistance.

It is said that the origin of this practice can be traced back to the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Gaozong made the famous general Li Ji the governor of Yingzhou, and used a large number of rangers to cross the border, kill farmers in spring, and burn fields in autumn with a scorched earth strategy, so that Goguryeo, which was once known as a strong man in the northeast, was dragged down in the protracted famine and civil strife.

Therefore, when the Tang army finally sent out troops, it only had to be led by the leading party of all ethnic groups to the king, and they drove straight into (Pyongyang) to defeat the Goguryeo Dynasty, and sacrificed the prisoners of the late Goguryeo Wangquan Gaozang to the Taimiao, and after completing the long-cherished wish from Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, they were also faced with the complex governance of a large area of new territory.

Goguryeo has been in existence for hundreds of years, after all, it is a great country with a long history, so even after the fall of the country, under the rule of the newly established Governor's Office of the Tang Dynasty, there are still various banners of rebellion and riots, and all kinds of rebel parties and bandits are in the opposition.

Later, the center of the Tang Dynasty made a painful decision to move all the nobles, officials, subjects and vassals of the old Goguryeo to live in various parts of the Jianghuai River at any cost, and since then the ethnic and cultural culture of Goguryeo has been completely wiped out and absorbed directly from the upper provenance.

The rebellion and turmoil in Goguryeo's homeland completely stopped, but unfortunately, the subsequent colonization and naturalization strategies were not able to persist.

As Gaozong became seriously ill and could not take care of things, power was gradually transferred to Empress Wu, and the contradictions with the noble class intensified, Li Tang fell into the power dispute of the upper class, and no longer had time to look outside for decades, and let the fruits of his previous pioneering and hard work be invaded and annexed by other peoples who rose up in the surrounding area.

For example, the Mohe people possessed most of the hometown of Goguryeo, and only then did they have the later Dashi Bohai Kingdom. And the ancestors of the Smectas, the Silla people, also pushed the original border south of the Taedong River to the vicinity of Pyongyang, and then in the history of invention, they swore to climb Goguryeo, the sworn enemy who once beat their ancestors into dogs.

Therefore, when Liang Gong was in power, he began to learn from the pain, and made every effort to promote the follow-up system and follow-up system of various military conquests to expand the territory, fill in the household of various immigrants, and change the land and naturalize.

He also reinterpreted the feudal law of the "Zhou Li", and set the basic prototype of the division of feudal domains at home and abroad, and its fundamental slogan was the so-called "rather with the countrymen than with the foreign captives". Or "I would rather have the grass of the countrymen than the seedlings of the foreigners".

Therefore, Yu Ze so far, even if the dynasty has been in turmoil for more than a hundred years, there are still no decent foreigners in the four and nine sides who can rise lightly or take the opportunity to do something.

Having said that,

Most of these feudal slaves used as consumables in these mines were one of the by-products of these punishment orders, or in other words, when the quantity was insufficient or in short supply, the generals of the Southern Dynasty who were in charge of the Yanbian expedition would find a way to create a relatively stable "source".

Anyway, according to some unwritten traditions and conventions, these people who have not yet been subsumed under the rule of the Great Liang for the time being, and who cannot create values or contribute to the Great Liang like the vast number of naturalized peoples, cannot be counted as human beings in the strict sense, nor can they enjoy the basic treatment of human beings and the moral limit.

They have to work until they die to pay for the mistakes and sins of their fellow citizens, and although there are not a few who have the heart to resist and flee, they are all turned into trees on the outskirts of the mining area, like something like wind and flesh. Only a very small number of people can escape from the guards and guards by chance.

Then, with great luck, before being arrested by the government as a suspicious person, he was sheltered and sheltered by the local powerful Tu clan, so as to get rid of this fate.

Atul is the descendant of such a mine fugitive slave, and he is also a typical mixed-race child, known locally as "mongrel" and "string string" in Canton.

Therefore, compared with the ordinary people with black hair and yellow skin around him, although he also inherited the pale yellow complexion of the maternal family and the appearance of the Chinese people, but from the maternal line, the black reddened and slightly curly hair and light gray eyes no longer remind himself and the people around him all the time about his humble foreign blood and the identity of the Tibetan people.

As a descendant of the feudal race, he can only be a careful person under the hard work of his parents, and serve the main family as a cow and a horse, so as to take a native woman, and look forward to removing this shameful feudal brand in the next generation.

In the words of his father, this is all fate, and after coming to the dynasty, as a foreigner who was once full of all kinds of despair and grief, he no longer dares to resent. As the most powerful and terrifying regime he has ever seen in this world, he does not dare to imagine that there is anything else in this world that can resist and resist it.

He didn't even dare to have even a little hidden hatred, compared to those fellow villagers who died in the mines that saw the light of day, he had enough chance to live, and that was enough.

Then overnight, under the torrent of refugees who came to eat big households, his main family and his parents who were not old and decrepit were gone, and he also lost the small square world of existence, and was swept by the torrent of the times, and drifted into the city of Guangfu.

Because of the overly conspicuous characteristics of the Tibetan people, begging was beaten by the local beggar group, and no one wanted to sell his strength, and on the first day he was dragged into a certain lower ninth-rate Tibetan gang, he escaped in fright, because they planned to make him some kind of crippled tool for collecting money, and begging for more money with miserable and pitiful.

Then I was hungry and heard that someone Shi Zhen was somewhere, and I used my last strength to rush over, and it was easy to grab a relatively high position.

As a result, as one of the young people of the war refugees, he was recruited into a labor team in a makeshift porridge field somewhere in Tongguò, where he ate his first full meal and then had his first self-supporting job.

When the turmoil in Canton finally subsided, most of them signed the deed and stayed, becoming the new blood in the restoration and expansion of the industry.

Therefore, after experiencing so many changes in circulation, he just wants to seize this opportunity and continue to make this livelihood for a long time, at any cost.

Atul, who was in a trance, was suddenly pushed hard, suddenly lost his balance forward, and fell into the dust with a pop, and then saw a pair of cloth shoes, and couldn't help but hug them, and couldn't help but get excited about himself.

"I said ......"

I frowned as I watched as the man who suddenly jumped out of the ranks, with a certain fanatical expression, hugged the instep of my feet and knelt on top of it with all sorts of kisses and licks, stammered words of admiration and loyalty, and then dragged them away.

"How many ...... are there for a guy like this?"

"There are probably hundreds of people before and after,"

The personnel director named Luo Li said respectfully,

"It's mostly in the workshops below,...... This is a temporary tribe who has come to help."

He is also one of the old men of the Borneo clan that I brought out, and there were eight people who named him according to etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, faith, loyalty, and filial piety, but now there are only five left, all of whom are in high positions and are in charge of their own affairs.

Like Luo Li, it is not outstanding in other places, but it has an excellent memory and is meticulous in doing things, so I let them be responsible for the daily personnel management of employees.

"Pick some good tables, transfer them to the general number, and concentrate on training to make a team of ......"

I commanded it

"Do some more tests every day......"

"It's a waste for such a foolish and willing guy to be a low-level worker

I muttered to myself.

Compared with other big merchants and workshop owners who are eager to use the twelve hours as the twenty-four hours, my family's workshop can be said to have a lot more conscience, all the staff only need to work six hours a day, and if they exceed, they will be paid extra according to overtime, and free drinking water.

Usually try to live and live in a group, and in your spare time, you have to organize some group exercises, group competitions and other physical exercises, and the corresponding food is rough and simple but absolutely full.

Therefore, the corresponding labor efficiency and enthusiasm of my servants are much higher than the general standard of the whole industry, and they even take the initiative to ask for overtime, relying on the advantage of being strong to earn more wages and subsidies, and even just to bring back to their families for free water.

Therefore, the standard of the recruitment contract has also been improved a lot, such as being innocent, simple and less concerned, and having vision and insight or being familiar with workmanship is preferred.

Of course, I'm not just doing good deeds or making money, but I'm trying out some kind of potential reserve system.

In a way, these industrial workers are one of the most suitable sources of soldiers for the modern army, because they can only complete the productive labor through collective cooperation, and they also cultivate their collective and organizational concepts, as well as the corresponding obedience and hierarchical understanding.

This is incomparable to those traditional soldiers who have been acquired under the small-scale peasant economic system and are mainly self-cultivated farmers, nor are they the shortcomings of these peasant families that are usually conservative, cowardly, casual, short-sighted, comfortable with small wealth, and easy to compromise.

In a certain sense, they are the real proletariat, and they have a greater sense of struggle and competition to improve their own conditions than those insensitive ordinary peasant families who are polished by daily life, and it is easier to stimulate corresponding enthusiasm.

The proposition of a certain party in later generations regarding the workers as the vanguard of the proletariat is not groundless.

Moreover, they have more natural advantages and specialties than most ordinary peasant children in this era who have limited nutrition and overwork early in terms of physical exercise intensity.

Once they are collectively trained and become recruits in the army, it is almost twice the efficiency and quality of the army with half the effort.

It's just that as the cultivation environment for these so-called industrial workers, at least they must have a sufficient scale of production and a corresponding long-term management system.

Of course, there are some people in this world, such as mountain people, hunters, nomads, etc., who are also relatively strong in character and tradition, and have corresponding professional resources, but the places where they live are often barren places with poor mountains and bad waters, and they cannot feed too many people and cannot provide more sources, so they cannot become the mainstream of recruitment.

Therefore, the Longwu Department created by Liang Gong was the first martial arts group in the world for a while, known as the three major military leaders, the five veins, and more than a dozen branches.

When it is necessary to recruit additional soldiers, it is also from many army-related workshops and mines, giving priority to finding suitable Ding Zhuang, followed by selecting soldiers, and recruiting strong men from various semi-militarized military tunzhuang and border enclosures nearby; Finally, the relatively simple and prolific peasant children were considered, and their predecessors were often the descendants of the government soldiers.

Although I can't compare with it, running such a family business and system is somewhat of a sense of fascination with my predecessors.
