While the Linqing garrison area was conducting intensive training for the displaced people in the two shantytowns, the first batch of displaced people trained by Zhao Erga and others also returned one after another.

These homeless people who went home for vacation with food and bacon were extremely full of spirit when they came back this time, and they had long lost the tragic emotion of seeing death as if they were at home when they first came.

Qin Ergou took over the management of hundreds of newly trained refugees, and Hao Yun, the instructor of the cavalry battalion, was in charge of the political and ideological work of these newly trained refugees.

First of all, these newly trained displaced people were dispersed and reorganized according to the squads, squadrons, and brigades of the Far East Company, and then some activists were selected to serve as squad leaders and squad leaders, and a number of talented people were selected from among them for training, so that they could become grassroots cadres in the Far East reserve.

The training intensity in the second stage is much lower, but the morning exercise is still the same cross-country training, and they will be arranged to do proper labor in the afternoon, such as cleaning the city of Linqingzhou, dredging the drainage canals in the city, helping the garrison area to tidy up the granary, and so on.

However, there has been a lot more political and ideological work than in the past, and some activities such as grievance meetings have been added, and the thinking of the new trainees has changed greatly, and the sense of belonging to the Far Eastern Company has become stronger and stronger.

Far East into the Central Plains, how to win the support of the majority of people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty is also the basis for the company to carry out grassroots work. How to carry out mass work is also a topic that the company first faces.

This era was characterized by the strict control of the vitality and enthusiasm of the members of society by relying on the Confucian Three Principles and Five Constants and the strict hierarchy and ethics, and the entire social responsibility and power were in the hands of the Zhu dynasty and a small group of gentry.

Although the centralized system of ****ism that has lasted for thousands of years has promoted the formation and development of a unified multi-ethnic state, consolidated national unity, created conditions for the development of feudal economy, and is also conducive to national integration, China has produced a material and spiritual civilization higher than that of other countries in the world during the same period.

However, with the development of the times, especially after the Ming and Qing dynasties, the feudal system has long been terminally ill, hindering the development of the budding capitalism and social change, imprisoning people's minds and causing the stagnation of productive forces.

At this time in the Western world, the Renaissance and the Enlightenment began to change from the spiritual level, the humanistic spirit rose and developed, and people gradually got rid of the shackles of feudal **** and religious ignorance.

The bourgeois revolutions in Britain and France established the bourgeois representative system and established the rule of the bourgeoisie in the system, opening the way for the development of capitalism; The Industrial Revolution expanded rapidly, and European and American countries established large-scale machine production methods and successively achieved industrialization.

And the Central Plains Dynasty is still intoxicated with its so-called perfect martial arts, thinking that the **** land is vast and rich, there are no wonders, and the foreigners are regarded as Xiyi, and these barbaric man-made things are nothing more than "strange tricks and tricks", carving insects and small skills.

The era of the explosion of Western scientific and technological civilization has come, and they have taken advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese Dynasty to close themselves off and enjoy themselves. However, the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were doing their best to study the Bagu Wen at this moment. The natural sciences were not valued by the ruling class throughout the ages, and were treated as ornaments.

The Far Eastern Company took over the Central Plains, of course, not wanting to copy another Manchu Qing. Rather, it hopes to completely shatter this feudal system that has lasted for thousands of years. In this way, the policies of the Far Eastern Company would harm the fundamental interests of the Ming elite, that is, the gentry group in this era.

In today's Ming Dynasty, various systems have long been reduced to tools for individuals to make money, providing conditions for the bureaucratic and wealthy business groups to satisfy their selfish desires, and the gentry groups will do the most despicable and shameless things without shame, and when the spiritual world of people falls to this realm, there is no hope for society, and the nation will collectively degenerate.

Officials and local gentry and landlords colluded with each other for their own selfish interests, and went to great lengths to build a network of iron buckets throughout the Ming Dynasty, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.

Corrupt local government and business groups have become moths of the state for their own interests, and once they form a force, it will be difficult to eradicate them.

The Far Eastern Company no longer has any illusions about the Ming elites of this era, so it can only start from scratch, cultivate its own set of people, strengthen grassroots management, and grasp the local grassroots firm management in its hands.

Of course, this is an extremely difficult undertaking that may take years or even decades of hard work to finally come to fruition. The first thing that needs to be done is how to win the support of the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty.

As groups of displaced people ended their short-term intensive training, they were broken up and reorganized, and a detachment of the Linqing Labor Service Company was formed. The Linqing garrison area has also opened a breakthrough in carrying out local work.

Thousands of displaced people from shantytowns signed labor contracts with the Far Eastern Company and became members of the Far Eastern Company. Of course, they are still only temporary workers, and it will take a year for them to become regular employees of the Far East Company.

When the labor service detachment that had completed the training appeared in Linqingzhou City for the first time, it also stunned the local people.

When they opened the door in the morning, they saw that the city was full of people in uniform and bamboo hats and yellow vests busy in the city.

The first order issued by the Linqing garrison area to the labor service detachment was to thoroughly clean up the sanitation of Linqing City, remove all kinds of sanitary dead ends, demolish some illegal buildings that affect the city's appearance, dredge all kinds of drainage facilities in the city, and clean up all kinds of garbage on both sides of the canal.

These laborers, who have undergone 10 days of training in the Linqing garrison area, have already possessed basic organizational discipline, and are no longer a group of rabble, and their combat effectiveness has of course increased geometrically.

It only took a few days to clean up the city of Linqingzhou and both sides of the canal. The canal wharf, which used to be dirty, has also been cleaned up in order, and the garbage and debris accumulated here have been transported outside the city by truck, which looks brand new.

Because the canal runs through the city of Lincheongju, and countless boats pass by here every day, the surface of the canal is full of garbage and the river water looks dirty. After a few days of hard work by the labor detachment, the river has now become very clean.

The appearance of the labor service detachment also had a great impact on the people in the city. In particular, the shopkeepers on the docks, as well as the merchants and vendors who often hire porters at the docks, have set off turbulent waves in their hearts.

They knew that many of the employees of the labor service detachment were no longer unkempt and ragged as before, they were just a group of vulgar porters. (To be continued.) )
