When the coachmen in the city learned of the plight of these porters, they were all envious to death. In the past, on the dock, these porters who simply relied on hard work to make a living, but the people at the bottom of the dock, neither their status nor their salaries could be compared with the coachmen composed of locals.

But now these vulgar porters can eat three meals of white rice every day, so there is no reason for this. Looking at the new clothes they were wearing, and the suede shoes they wore on their feet, my heart was very unbalanced.

So when they heard the news of the hiring of coachmen in the Linqing garrison area, they all came with the carriage. In order to increase their motivation, the Linqing garrison area only hired these coachmen temporarily, and adopted a simple piecework system, and after each day's work, a certain amount of rice was distributed to them according to the amount of work they had completed.

For such a piecework system, of course, these drivers are full of promises. The more you work, the more you get, and there will be no resistance to anyone.

In order to seize the time to make preparations for receiving food, the Linqing garrison area organized thousands of laborers of the labor service detachment to start work overnight, and thousands of laborers of the labor service detachment and a large number of coachmen, and even other people from the Linqing garrison area who were on duty standing guard also joined in.

I didn't finish until midnight, and I resumed the next morning, still busy until the middle of the night. It took two days of getting up early and working late to be considered ready to accept food.

The thousands of laborers of the labor detachment were also exhausted, and they simply ate a mouthful of food, and when they returned to the station, they fell asleep on their bunks. In the past two days, they have been working for more than ten hours in a row, except for eating and sleeping, they are almost not idle, even if they are beaten by iron, they can't bear it.

"Didi...... Tick ......"

Before dawn, Zhao Erga was awakened by a rapid whistle. He subconsciously got up, quickly got dressed and rushed out of the granary.

In the past two days, he has also been exhausted, and until now his whole body still has backache and leg pain. I slept in the middle of the night for a few hours yesterday, and I've only slept for two hours now.

At this time, more than a dozen huge bonfires had been lit on the playground, and a large number of Far Eastern officers and soldiers were also holding torches, illuminating the playground as if it were daylight.

The thousands of laborers of the labor service detachment simply straightened the queue, and nearly half of the laborers were taken out of the brick city of Linqingzhou and walked towards the wharves along the canal that passed through the city.

Zhao Erga was in good spirits and walked quickly with the squadron's queue, although he had been working on the dock for several years, he still felt so tired for the first time.

But he and all the laborers did not have any objections in their hearts, after all, when they came here, they had three full meals of white rice every day, and everyone felt that they should do such tiring work, which was a natural thing.

And the laborers, who had always been worried that the Far Eastern Army would take them to war, were now much more at ease. After all, fighting with the army will kill people, and now working like this, no matter how tired you are, everyone will grit their teeth and survive.

Thousands of laborers from the labor detachment came to the wharf, where bonfires were lit, and a large number of Far Eastern troops were waiting in line with torches.

At this time, the river was still dark, and only the searchlights of a few river sailing boats that were moving back and forth on the river surface kept sweeping back and forth.

A large number of sleepy-eyed coachmen were also forcibly automated. One by one, they reluctantly drove the carriage to the dock. They were all taken out of the bed by the Far Eastern Army.

Although they have gained a lot in the past few days, they have also been tossed enough. I thought I was done with my work and I could rest for a few days, but who knew that I was caught by this gang of thieves again.

This time, the gang of thieves was not polite to them, and directly sent people to smash the door from house to house, without consulting them at all, and directly escorted them to the dock. In the face of the bayonets of the Far Eastern Army, even if they were reluctant, they did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

"Didi...... Tick ......"

A burst of hurried whistles sounded again, and Zhao Erga, who was standing and napping in the queue, instantly shook his head and woke up from his half-asleep state.

"Attention all units, the food shipment from the fleet will arrive soon, everyone is ready to ......"

As the officers and men of the Far Eastern Army ran back and forth and shouted, the squadron leaders of the labor detachment came to the front of the queue to assign tasks to the laborers of their units.

"Dut...... Toot ......"

At this time, there was a whistle on the river in the distance, and Zhao Erga stretched his neck to look at the canal in the distance, only to see a faint pillar of light flashing in the distance.

After a while, the beams became brighter and denser, and with a violent roar, countless fleets arrived at the docks of the Linqingzhou Canal.

The dense beams of light continued to cross the river, and Zhao Erga and thousands of laborers also clearly saw the scene on the river, and the violent roar broke the silence of the night, only to see the endless fleet of boats slowly passing over the canal.

Several behemoths in the air also slowly descended from the sky, hovering above the dock, and several extremely dazzling beams of light shone on the dock, making the dock seem as if it was daylight.

Faced with such a spectacular spectacle, Zhao Erga and thousands of laborers now considered themselves part of the Far East, so now they were all excited.

"The ship is docked, and the units hurry up to unload the grain ......"

With the shouts of the officers and soldiers of the Far East on the wharf, Zhao Erga and a large number of laborers rushed to the wharf with a "hula". I saw a fleet of dozens of ships connected together slowly approaching the dock.

On each ship stood a few officers and men of the Far East with torches, and there they lifted the tarpaulin covering the hull to reveal stacks of grain bales stacked high.

Zhao Erga carried a bag of grain, habitually tossed around, and then picked up the grain bag and stepped on the pedal to get off the boat, and put the grain bag on his shoulder in a carriage on the dock. Hundreds of wagons lined up on the docks, and as soon as the wagons loaded with grain left, another wagon was driven up to continue loading the grain.

The Linqing garrison area has not been idle in the past two days, and the main responsible persons such as Hu Cheng and Qin Ergou have sat together and studied a lot of plans. The main purpose is to develop a set of effective and reasonable methods to better organize laborers to receive food, with the focus on improving labor efficiency.

The squadron leaders and captains of the labor service detachment also convened various squad leaders to solicit the opinions of these laborers who have been working on the dock all year round, and sorted out a complete set of methods.

Facts have proved that although there are still many deficiencies in this set of methods they have studied, in the process of receiving grain, they have indeed improved their efficiency very highly, and the division of labor in each link such as unloading, loading, transportation, and warehousing is clear, and the routes for transporting grain and horse-drawn carriages in and out of the wharf and transportation routes have been set in advance, and the work efficiency has been twice the result with half the effort.
