Chapter 102 Original Sin (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) Read! ）

“…… With the start of the construction of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the Yangtze River, known as the moat since ancient times, is about to be conquered by us in the near future. A bridge flies north and south, and the moat becomes a thoroughfare, which is the most daring engineering feat in human history...... At the same time, it was also a very successful experiment, which turned the colonizers and the enemies of a large number of countries who once colonized China into skilled laborers in the construction of China, and even into activists engaged in the labor necessary for the country.

The triumph of thousands of laborers of different types and nationalities who are working together to quickly triumph over nature, hostile to man, is remarkable, but even more remarkable is the triumph of those who, not so long ago, were accustomed to living by the oppression of the people's fat and anointment, without the slightest skill of subsistence.

…… For us, no matter what kind of sin he committed, man is precious. Even if they have seriously hurt us, we must not let him fall by idleness, but transform him into a skilled worker, a useful member of society.

This unwavering attitude towards "them" shows our positive humanism, which was and is impossible at any time and everywhere in a society where man is a wolf to man......

And this is the biggest difference between the Han people, this great and glorious people, and other peoples."

Restoration of the light

In the boiling river, under the illumination of the lights, several barges were tied to the huge caissons in the river, and on the caissons with steel ribs and wooden shells, stood several soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with live ammunition and black uniforms, while hundreds of workers were jumping from the barges to the caissons along the gangplank, and then lined up and entered the caissons with number plates.

At the other exit of the caisson, the workers covered with sludge at the bottom of the river lined up and walked out of the caisson, when they stood on the caisson and saw the starry sky again, almost everyone was greedily breathing fresh air, and the caisson of the bridge pier foundation was excavated, which was a hellish place, although working here could get twice the amount of work, but, if there was a choice, no one would work there arbitrarily, was there a choice?

"Hurry up, hurry up, rub something, hurry up and get on the boat"

While the exhausted people breathed in the fresh air, the heavily armed guards shouted loudly, and the mud-covered people once again dragged the tired jiāo number plates, recorded their work points, boarded the boat, and left the construction site.

At half past four in the morning, at the construction site of the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, when the laborers were napping anxiously in the simple shed, the director of the shed shouted and scolded, waking everyone up from their sleep.

"Hurry up, one by one, I still think it's time to hurry up when I'm sliding birds in Sijiu City, hurry up"

The only sleep they had had was in the barbed wire huts on the site, which were filthy and smelly, and the three of them were huddled together in a bunk, lying on a straw mat crawling with fleas.

After Buyin jumped off the top bunk, he listened to the roll call, and muttered the prayer that must be done every day.

"Emperor yù is on top, as long as I can leave this ghost place as soon as possible, the Xiǎo people will definitely eat vegetarian ...... from now on"

Or halfway through the conversation, he thought to himself.

"Well, I eat vegetarian food for 1346 days, eat meat on 25, I don't know if it's a fish ròu or a pig today, if only today's ròu can be five huāròu, it's best to have one finger thick, three fingers high, slap ...... Xiǎo child's slap is also OK"

Thinking about it, his mouth began to drool, the food here is not bad, of course, it is based on the situation of finishing work, otherwise you have to deduct the food, although in the morning it is the xiǎo rice porridge that fades out of the bird, but you might as well imagine the xiǎo rice porridge as having eaten ròu porridge in the past.

Why do you drink xiǎo rice porridge in the morning? It seems that xiǎo rice is cheaper than rice than flour.

"What kind of day is it?"

This will make a person who has eaten shouted at others with a happy face, and even deliberately raised the steamed bun in his hand, although it is a mixed noodle steamed bun, but it makes everyone including Buyin drool.

Swallowing his saliva, Bu Yin heard the sound of the drum in his stomach, this shouldn't be the emperor's birthday

"Let me go get a bite early"

Looking at the sound of those who received the food and ate, Buyin prayed in his heart.

Compared with the flag barracks in the past, Buyin didn't feel that there was any difference between this work camp and the barracks. On the one hand, in the past, when they were in the barracks, the commanders beat them if they wanted to, but here, if they talk about punishment, there is also a premise, that is, they did not complete the task, or disobeyed the orders of the commander, as for the torture, they don't seem to be happy to do that, and in other ways, for example, what to do, of course, you have to do it endlessly, and you will deduct food, which is what the big guys are most worried about, and there is hard work - such as digging coal, digging rivers, building roads and digging earth, pulling stones, in short, They have too many very "fair" ways to clean up people. ,

Of course, this does not mean that this is heaven, "between heaven and hell", what is that place? The big guy in the world is still alive, isn't it the world?

Of course, for those guards, their favorite thing to do is to get the big guys to gather around there to criticize and self-criticize, and then do some review, review the sins of their ancestors, review their past parasite life, review themselves...... In short, I don't know if I don't review it, but I was shocked by this review, and I didn't expect that I would commit so many crimes.

"Labor Brings Freedom"

While muttering these words, it was finally Buyin's team's turn to eat, and when he thought of the fragrant steamed buns, he quickly threw away the thoughts in his mind, and ran towards the place where the rice was served with the lunch box.

"Behold, these men"

Wei Xiangzhong, who was standing in front of the cào field, saw the appearance of those people scrambling, and couldn't help muttering a sentence on his lips.

"Like a prey dog"

There is no way to add food to them today, the director personally brought people to the construction site to investigate the water leakage accident, and if the director asks about food, with today's meal, he can also pass this hurdle.

"Do you have steamed buns in the morning?"

"Yes"

"Is there a ròu in the next one?"

"Yes"

"Are there any days off?"

"Yes"

Of course, all of this is there, even if the people brought by the director ask these questions, those people's answers will be impeccable, but only they understand the inner truth.

Do you have steamed buns in the morning?

It's only available today, and it's still miscellaneous

Can you eat ròu twice a week?

There is, however, there is only one slice of ròu.

Are there any days off?

Of course there will be, people are not machines, they will always be tired, but according to the regulations, when you work eleven xiǎo a day, here, thirteen xiǎo a day, not including meal time. In this way, six days is not enough to work for seven days, and of course they have to rest at the end

As for why?

Wei Xiangzhong has some plans of his own, people

After taking a sip of the fragrant Longjing before the rain, Wei Xiangzhong summed up the advice that Boss Zhang gave him in his heart, and transferred a group of workers to his coal mine, he paid to the work camp, a miner could earn twenty yuan a month, but he paid ten yuan to the "work camp" as a worker, and it was a month.

"It's a bit of a trick to do."

I muttered about the ten yuan of oil and water in my heart, but I thought about the reality that only with benefits can I be promoted, on the one hand, it is real money, and on the other hand, it is real power.

Thinking about this thing repeatedly, Wei Xiangzhong's heart became guilty, and he was unwilling to let go at both ends.

It's hard

With a long sigh, Wei Xiangzhong began to complain about why there were so few people in this work camp, if there were tens of thousands of people...... Hey, this is just thinking about it, especially in the limelight now, all that can be done is to think, at least wait for the limelight to pass, and then think of some more ways.

"Full Inspection"

Thinking of the notice of the department, because of the water leakage accident, the department decided to conduct a comprehensive inspection of its 196 battalion, and everything in the battalion had to be turned over and inspected, from what kind of worker treatment, to management, to ...... Anyway, those guys are just here to find bones in jī eggs.

"The management is definitely no problem, isn't my experience still being promoted across the country?"

Yesterday, after all the effort, the man's body was finally found, and the telegram was sent out, and I thought that the director would go home, but who would have thought that the director would come to the camp to inspect all aspects, and he would also inspect other camps.

At this moment, through the barbed wire, Wei Xiangzhong saw several cars, as soon as he saw the car, his face immediately changed, what should come is always coming, and the only thing he can do now is ......

"Quick, open the big mén, line up to welcome the commissioner to inspect"

"xiǎo rice 700 grams (800 grams for heavy work), cotton boy oil 5 grams, one tael of ròu class (fish or ròu) every three days, ten taels of vegetables (four taels of winter pickles), 7 grams of sugar, 2 grams of tea leaves......"

In the office, a staff member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was checking the tables one by one, and from time to time he was holding an abacus to calculate whether the food standards of each person were up to standard, and to be precise, whether the prices were up to standard.

Since the custody of these men was removed from the General Administration of Prisoners of War of the Guards, but in the forced work camps, their food supply was fully guaranteed, the food, the yào, everything was up to standard, and he had to check that the food had not been corrupted. ,

"Chief, for those who are laborers, in addition to the more comfortable single barracks, they can also increase their food rations, such as an appropriate increase in staple food, an increase in ròu food, of course they can enjoy food in their own dining room, the food can be xiǎo stove, and they also have priority in the distribution of costumes and other rations, and they can watch the play in the front row every week when they sing, and of course, as a final reward, they can also get some relatively easy work, through these jī incentive mechanisms, It can indeed effectively improve production efficiency and punish ...... It should only be used when it is appropriate, after all, the purpose of the camp is to teach them how to work, not to abuse them."

“…… Well, this one is good and should be promoted"

Qian Ding, who nodded and listened to Wei Xiangzhong's report, expressed his approval of these new measures.

This time he came to Wuhan, originally after receiving a report on the way, he was also ready to go back to Nanjing, but in the end he decided to inspect these camps, who knows if there will be any new problems here?

"These experiences are good, the purpose of the compulsory work camp is not to make abuse or punishment, otherwise we are provided with 18 taels of staple food a day, and one or two every other day, what is this? Such abundant food is not even available to many people, but they can get such food, and high-intensity labor in exchange for food that exceeds the standard, as long as they reform well, they can not only get rich food, but also freedom."

After a while, Qian Ding glanced at Wei Xiangzhong.

"Maybe in a few years, they will be free, and in due course, the Supreme Court will certainly grant amnesty to some of these activists"

"Commissioner, are we going to release them?"

Hearing that those people were going to be released, Wei Xiangzhong couldn't help but be stunned, what if they were released?

"The compulsory work camp is only temporary and transformative, and this cannot be violated by stripping them from the POW Administration back then, in fact, to prepare them for their freedom again, of course,"

Leaning back in his chair, Qian Ding continued.

"In fact, this is the decision of some ministers, under the influence of the ministers, their status changed from prisoners of war to "forced workers", through labor to redeem their crimes, although it is just an excuse for some ministers, but we cannot deny that forced work has indeed promoted the economic development of our country to a large extent"

When he said this, Qian Ding did not express any emotion, although he did not agree with some policies, but he knew that he could not violate anything, the ministers have the plans of the ministers, and His Majesty also has the thoughts of His Majesty, and those who will be released in the future are not to be released, what the Special Work Management Office has to do is to manage these work camps well, give full play to the maximum value of the work camps, and thus contribute to the industrial construction of the country.

"This year, according to the plan we formulated, the work camp needs to reclaim 15 million acres of cultivated land, 3 million acres of rubber plantations, complete 38 million cubic meters of new water conservancy projects, plus 16 million tons of coal, 6 million tons of iron ore, 3 million tons of copper ore and the total task, it is not unavoidable, and in return, we can hand over 495 million yuan of profits to the state, but I personally hope that 500 million yuan knows what this concept is?"

Raising his eyes, Qian Ding, who was smiling on his face, looked at Wei Xiangzhong in front of him.

"Today, the fiscal revenue of the empire may reach 1 billion, but whether it is a billion or more than 900 million, the more than 800 forced work camps scattered throughout the country can provide profits equivalent to half of the fiscal revenue."

"Director, this should be the basic principle of the economic textbooks: get the most labor at the most cost. The least input, the largest output, the maximum profit, so that the development of the country's economy can be stabbed"

Wei Xiangzhong, who has been fully researching "forced work" all along, naturally understands these truths.

"That's right, our country lags behind the rest of the world, we need to import machinery, we need to buy patents, we need to send students, we need to hire foreign scientists and technicians, the country needs universal compulsory education, we need to build railways, ports, all this needs money, but where does the money come from?"

Money, a penny is a hero, although he does not work in the Ministry of Finance, but Qian Ding knows that without money, China will collapse

"So, although I don't like the advice of the ministers, I don't deny that the work is compulsory...... If we look at the issue of forced work from the perspective of economic rationality, then this system is becoming the largest economic institution in China with unlimited labor mobilization capacity, and it can even be said that it will become the backbone of the state finance for a certain period of time in the future. ”,

"In that case, then why release them?"

Faced with the question of the director, Wei Xiangzhong raised his doubts.

"Director, in the future, the state will break the work camp and pardon these people, of course, this is necessary, after all, in the end, the ultimate purpose of their work is to atone for the sins of the old days, but in the country's economic conditions are not good, whether the question can be opened, it is different, these people are working, giving rewards, and even giving medals, of course, it is not that it is impossible, if they can be encouraged to work harder, of course it is possible. Then, we released them, and they went out into society, and if there was no work, then they were bound to go down the path of crime. But in the camps it's different, where they only have to work, and we provide them with food, medical care, they don't have to think about life here, of course, there may not be any freedom here, but after all, they are here, not only do they not cause damage to society, but they also bring benefits to the country."

Every day, they can almost bring themselves hundreds of yuan in income, and on this basis alone, Wei Xiangzhong is certainly not willing to let those people get free, these people are cash cows, the huge wealth brought by their labor can make the country develop rapidly, and in the same way, they work in the work camp, which can bring a good income to themselves as the commander of the work camp.

"What you say is not unreasonable."

Qian Ding did not deny this.

"Actually, many people now choose xìng's neglect of compulsory work camps, because the huge returns brought by strong manufacturing work camps are far beyond our imagination, but ......"

Qian Ding was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something, but he finally raised his head and looked at Wei Xiangzhong in front of him.

"Sometimes there are a lot of issues that we can't control...... Let's go to the construction site and have a look."

Standing up, Qian Ding walked towards the outside of the office, and when he walked to the entrance of the mén, he suddenly turned back and said a word.

"Xiangyun, you know that people, whether it is us or the people in the camp, have an original sin"

Without waiting for Wei Xiangzhong to speak, Qian Ding dropped a sentence and walked towards Mén at the same time.

"Greed"
