229. The Ruins of the Beacon Fire (4)

The more than 2,000 captives were divided into 40 groups, one person designated by Yu Guozhen as the foreman, and under the foreman, there were five leaders in charge of 10 people, so that each group was about 51 people.

The reason why Yu Guozhen appointed himself, instead of having the foreman elected by the captives, was to create an antagonism between the foreman leader and the ordinary prisoners, and the foreman could not work every day, as long as he supervised the statistics of the results of labor, and the leader was responsible for leading the organization of his own group to work.

He also adopted the system of "division of work", first of all, he asked the guards to do demonstration labor, and calculated a "work division" based on the amount of labor of a household guard every day, and issued paper coupons according to the amount of work each day, and the food standard of the captives was determined entirely by the "work points" that they could pay. This ensures that even if they are ordinary captives, the diligent and lazy are treated differently, thus further dividing the captives.

Another function of the "division of work" was to determine when each captive would be freed. Yu Guozhen explicitly announced that the captives would be sentenced to hard labor ranging from five to ten years according to their previous crimes, and the sentence was of course Zhang Guowei, the governor of the Ten Prefectures, and Zhang Guowei still had this power. But these hard labor, which ranged from five to ten years, were not without accommodation, for example, if a person who was sentenced to five years could be released early if he could earn 1,500 points.

This rule clearly converts the prisoners into three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and as long as one work is completed for each day, then after four years and forty days, they can be released more than ten months in advance. This gave the captives a greater hope: they would be freed if they were willing to endure three years, four years at most.

Of course, regaining their freedom does not mean that they will be able to return to their hometowns, in fact, when the time comes, they are afraid that they will not be able to do without Yu Guozhen's system.

The first step in rebuilding is to clear the rubble and look for something that can continue to be used. The temple was completely destroyed, and that's how the foolish rogues treated what they feared, and although the town of Xiang'an was also in ruins, there were still some wood and bricks and the like. The cleaned materials were used to build simple houses for people to live in. After all, it is a cold and wet winter, and how to stay is the first problem to be solved.

In addition, a foreman led people to clear the river bank and build a dock where ships could dock and unload. This is not a difficult thing for the teenagers in the other courtyard, especially with the teenagers who have been to Qinzhou with Yu Guozhen, they have built many docks.

The wharf has been erected in only half a day, and the simple gantry crane has also been laid with wooden piles. After completing this work, the ship began to unload the tents downward, for the needs of field battles and marches, Yu Guozhen always had a lot of reserves of such materials, which could be used now.

Yu Ren lightly kicked a captive: "Don't be lazy, if you're lazy, you can only watch others drool when you eat!" ”

The captive turned around, and a pair of bullish eyes glared at the boss: "You! ”

"Now I'm the foreman, you're a small worker, you have to listen to me honestly!" Yu Ren was not afraid of the tall other party, because less than ten feet away from him, two guards were supervising them, and their eyes were always looking at Yu Ren. If it weren't for that, Yu Yan wouldn't be so active, and he would have to behave in front of these overseers.

As for the rewards and punishments stipulated in Yu Guozhen's announcement, Yu Ren didn't have a big purpose in his heart, and he knew that there were loopholes in them that could be drilled.

At that moment, he heard someone shouting to him: "Yu Ren, Yu Ren!" ”

It was Tian Boguang who called him, this guy had a broken arm and couldn't use his strength, but he couldn't be idle, so Yu Guozhen sent him to preside over the reconstruction.

"Hey, hey, it's Tian Ye, what does Tian Ye command?" Yu Ren leaned up and nodded with a smile on his face.

"Bring ten men and put up these signs." Tian Boguang pointed to the area where the tent was being built: "Just in front of the tent over there, you will follow me every morning in the future." ”

"Yes, yes." Yu Ren responded again and again, and seeing Tian Boguang's amiable appearance, he cautiously asked again: "Tian Ye, what is the top...... What is written? ”

"Rules, you have to work for us in the future, of course you have to abide by the rules, our family rules are written in black and white, you all read and understand and memorize, you will break the rules less. You don't want to be the first person I order to cut off someone's head every day, do you? Tian Boguang said with a smile.

His expression was kind, so Yu Ren was not afraid, but then, he felt a pair of eyes stop at him, and those eyes were cold and sharp, like snakes hidden in the grass. At this time, he noticed another person beside Tian Boguang, who was standing there at first, but he didn't notice it at the first time!

For Yu Ren, this kind of thing is not common. He has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, before joining the Liukou, he was a famous old man in the rivers and lakes, and he did a lot of work to deceive and deceive, if it wasn't for the fact that the Liukou broke the central capital, he was still eating and drinking spicy food in Feng'yang at the moment, and he wanted to fight the idea of hiding gold privately in the tomb eunuch.

However, even in the hands of Liukou, he did not suffer any losses, and the original authentic Beijing film was immediately changed to Shaanxi dialect, and he became an accomplice of Liukou in a few words, and it only took a few days to become a small leader. He was about to get close to the second king, Zhang Jinjia, and coax out the silver of the eunuch guarding the tomb, but Zhang Jinjia died.

This made him begin to face up to the legendary Wuwei Tiger Cub, but at this time he didn't think that he would have anything to do with the Wuwei Tiger Cub, even if the two might meet, it was he who saw Yu Guozhen's body being brought by the Eight Kings to show the public. At that time, he felt that unless Yu Guozhen had the ability to reach the sky, it would be impossible to turn the tide of the battle with his little strength.

But he was wrong, Yu Guozhen had the ability to reach the sky, not only reversed the tide of the war, but also captured him, a big liar who had been directly subordinate to the political secretary of the mountains and east for many years.

Yu Ren is not worried about his own safety, as long as he is not killed on the spot, he always has the means to save his life, but for Yu Guozhen, he has a great interest in it, he can completely shatter the wishful thinking of the eight kings, and seize countless gold and silver of the rogue, such a character is exactly the target he likes to target.

But now, he hesitated, because of the eyes that stared at him.

Tian Boguang also felt the coldness of the tall Erzhu next to him, and he said with a smile: "Brother Erzhu, this guy is a foreman, but he is diligent and diligent, and he is quite disciplined in his work. ”

Gao Erzhu nodded, glanced at it again, and Yu Ren felt that the feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake disappeared.

A slight cold sweat broke out on his body, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this "Erzhu Brother" was only about twenty years old, how could he feel the taste of Jinyiwei's actual commander who had been handling cases for many years.

Cold-blooded, sharp-eyed, decisive.

Yu Ren is even more strange, the origin of these teenagers around Yu Guoduo, he has inquired around the corner in the past two days, and he can be regarded as knowing, three years ago, most of these teenagers were just ordinary children, but now, one of them can be independent.

"Go to work, what are you doing here?" Tian Boguang shouted at him.

Yu Ren bowed, made a random salute, and then ran to take his own people to get the tools. Tian Boguang turned to Gao Erzhu and said with a smile: "Brother Erzhu, is there a problem with this guy?" ”

"No wonder you want to ask me to take a look, there must be something wrong with this guy, he is too good at observing words and feelings, and most of the people we left this time are more honest, so those who can observe words and colors must be pretending to be honest. Generally, those who like to pretend to be honest pretend to be pigs and eat tigers...... Boguang, you judged correctly. ”

"I'll just say that other fellows are afraid of us, and this guy always gathers in front of me to be courteous, and there must be a reason for that." Tian Boguang smiled and said: "Alas, it seems that I am too honest, so everyone thinks I am so deceitful." ”

"It's not that you're honest, it's that you have the biggest mouth." Gao Erzhu snorted.

Tian Boguang hurriedly raised the broken arm: "Brother Erzhu, the little official said that he wanted to settle accounts with me, but he had to wait until I was injured." ”

"This time, the little official may have lost his eyes, the injury on your arm may be a fake injury, let me check it for you?"

"This was diagnosed by a military doctor!"

"Then it's possible that you broke it yourself, right?"

"Brother Erzhu, it's too much to underestimate me to say this, I'm stupid enough to break an arm in order to avoid being beaten by you? You know, with one arm hanging, those pretty little ladies don't dare to look at me! ”

"Forget it...... But speaking of beautiful girls, there may be beautiful girls coming to us in the past two days. ”

When Gao Erzhu said this, he smiled meaningfully at Tian Boguang, Tian Boguang was already drooling with stars: "Beautiful little lady, beautiful little girl? Where did it come from, and why didn't I know at all? Alas, it's not the right time for my arm to break! ”

"Miss Fang is coming."

One sentence made Tian Boguang choke, Tian Boguang was stunned, and coughed: "Brother Erzhu, you are playing me!" ”

"There are three groups of little ladies who came, and the first batch were the young ladies of the Fang family, aunts and grandmothers and their girlfriends, who came to give relief. The second group was led by Miss Li, the one who was 'Yunxiang Clothes', who, like the daughters of many good families in Jinling City, came to give winter clothes to the officers and soldiers who fought to the death against the thieves. The third group is Jinling, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou four cities of Qinglou, they came to perform for us, that is to say, we can listen to these people sing songs and dances without spending a penny. "The second pillar of the high school.

Tian Boguang was dumbfounded, and after a while, he took a breath: "This ...... What a fuss! ”

In this regard, Gao Erzhu agreed, and he nodded: "The matter is so big that the petty officials feel a headache, and they don't know whether to dissuade or welcome." ”

Tian Boguang thought for a while, but still patted his head and sighed: "Let's let the little officials worry about this matter...... Hey, could it be that our housewife provoked this matter? ”

"Our housewife, Li Guangyan, and such a girl." Gao Erzhu sighed: "Three women in one play." ”

is Tian Boguang, who has always felt that women are cute, nodded with deep sympathy at this time, indeed, three women in one play.
