The original group of vulgar dock Liba actually completely changed, which also shocked everyone in Linqing City. Especially when the laborers of the labor service detachment walked in a neat queue on the streets of Linqing City, they shattered their glasses.

"Isn't that Hu San on the dock, I hired him to work a while ago, but I didn't expect this kid to change his body and skin, and he actually changed his appearance."

"But isn't it, the officers and soldiers in Linqing Prefecture don't have this kind of military might, this can be regarded as a strong army."

"It doesn't make sense, a group of porters who carry work, now I look at how I have momentum, if this is against the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, I can fight for a few battles."

The shopkeepers of the shops along the streets of Linqing City, and the merchants and vendors from all over the city, all stood on the side of the road and looked at the columns of people walking on the street with shocked faces.

Zhao Erga is at the forefront of the team, because he has performed well and is an active member of the new training homeless people, so now he is a squad leader in the labor service company.

Looking at the surprised expressions on the faces of the people of Linqing City on both sides of the street, Zhao Erga raised his head and chest, straightened his back, and followed the squadron leader's command, striding through the city.

The labor detachment returned to the city and was immediately disbanded, and a group of homeless people scattered in all directions, and ran to the water room to wash. In the past few days, they have thoroughly cleaned the city, and the daily workload is very large, and the laborers are also very tired.

Zhao Erga took off his coat and left only his underwear, and scooped a few basins of cold water in the big tank of the water room one after another, and poured it on his head, which drove away the heat from all over his body.

He picked up a towel and wiped himself carefully, then returned to the granary where he lived with his clothes and basin of water. When he walked to his bunk, he did not put on his clothes, but fell directly on his bed.

A few laborers next to him said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, I heard a fellow countryman say that the company is going to give us a day off, and we can go home after dinner today." ”

Zhao Erga listened, sat up from the bunk, and said excitedly: "Is the news accurate?" ”

"Then I don't know, but the brothers have been working hard these days, and the city has been cleaned by us, so it's time to give everyone a few days off."

Zhao Erga nodded and said, "Those news are not accurate, don't take it too seriously, everyone......"

Suddenly, a laborer pushed the door and rushed into the granary, ran to Zhao Erga's bunk and shouted, "Brother Zhao, the squadron leader asked you to go to the brigade headquarters immediately......"

As soon as Zhao Erga heard this, he got up and put on his clothes and walked out of the granary and came to the team headquarters next to him. At this time, the captains of the various squads have already arrived, and everyone is gathered here to inquire about each other's news.

"Old Han, what did you call us for?"

"I don't know, it's not going to give us a holiday."

"Take a fart vacation, if the squadron leader tells us no, why call us to the brigade headquarters."

"It's not like the company is going to fight, so don't we have to go with the army."

While everyone was talking to each other, the captain and several squadron leaders hurriedly walked in from outside. When everyone saw it, they quickly straightened their backs and stood there in a standard military posture and waited in line.

"In such a hurry to get everyone here, it is to notify an emergency. Dinner is an hour ahead of dinner today, and then all the squads will accept new missions, and the details will be communicated by your respective squadron leaders, okay, let's go back and prepare......"

After dinner, the teams were dressed up and assembled on the playground, waiting for the next order. The thousands of laborers in the labor detachment were very nervous, afraid that the company would go out to fight.

It turned out that the Linqingzhou garrison had just received a telegram from the higher authorities that a large number of ships of the Yangtze River Fleet had entered the canal loaded with grain, and it was estimated that they would arrive in Linqingzhou tomorrow.

Because of the huge amount of grain looted in the Jiangnan area this time, the Linqing Prefecture garrison area must be prepared to receive grain, prepare the granaries in the jurisdiction, and vacate as many granaries as possible to make room for the upcoming grain.

At present, the Ming Dynasty's grain storage centers along the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the canal have all received telegrams from the theater headquarters, so that all units are extremely ready to receive grain.

The grain plundered by the Far East Yangtze River Fleet in the south of the Yangtze River has greatly exceeded the company's expectations. However, because there is too much grain, it must be stored as soon as possible, and the company has not yet established a perfect grain reserve system in Daming, so it can only temporarily use the official warehouses and military warehouses in Daming to store them.

Especially in Huai'an, Xuzhou, Dezhou, and Linqing, because of the smooth waterways, the grain is often concentrated in these four places first, and then transported to Beijing. Huai'an, Xuzhou, Dezhou, and Linqing were set up along the canal as four transfer stations along the canal for the collection of tribute grain in the Ming Dynasty, which played a very important role and were praised as "the four major granaries of the Ming Dynasty" by later generations.

After the Linqing garrison received the telegram from the war zone, several responsible persons secretly congratulated themselves in their hearts that it was too timely for them to set up a labor service detachment. If a labor detachment is formed, it will take a lot of time just to hire porters and coachmen in the city.

According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", "Xuande added a warehouse to clear the warehouse, containing three million stones." The Linqing warehouse in the brick city was built in the fourth year of Xuande, when the national grain quota was 4 million stones, and the grain stored in the Linqing granary accounted for three-quarters.

The temporary clearance warehouse consists of three granaries, namely the broad accumulation warehouse, the temporary clearance warehouse and the permanent profit warehouse. The granary is located in the northwest corner of the brick city, occupying a quarter of the entire city. These grains mainly include cereals, rice and wheat, Linqing granary Ming Dynasty Xuande to Yongle years, granary reached its peak, when called "the world's first warehouse".

A granary of this size wanted to be put in order and free up as many places as possible to receive large quantities of grain. The manpower and material resources consumed are definitely not a small number.

Moreover, the Linqing garrison area has limited troops, and it is also a troublesome thing to temporarily hire a large number of porters and coachmen and organize them to work. If the organization is not effective, these coachmen and sedan chairmen can take advantage of the chaos to smuggle truckloads of grain out.

Fortunately, the labor service detachment in the Linqing garrison area has completed its training and can be put into intense work at any time. Don't look at the labor service company, there are only thousands of employees, but after more than ten days of training, the combat effectiveness is definitely not low, at least comparable to several times the temporary employment of migrant workers.

But tidying up the granary also requires a large number of horse-drawn carriages, but fortunately, most of the coachmen at the wharf in Lincheongju are locals. The Linqing garrison found a group of local officials, and mobilized the coachmen in the city as soon as they greeted them.

Although these drivers are all local households, they have lost their livelihood in the past few days, and their lives are not easy. In the past few days, a large number of laborers from labor service companies have been cleaning up in the city, and some coachmen who are familiar with the laborers will of course take the opportunity to go to investigate.
