The coolies were only wearing a simple pair of big pants that could not be simpler, tied to their waists with a thin rope, which basically could only play a role in covering their shame, and they had no clothes at all, at most they had a pair of straw sandals woven with their own straw, and they accepted the assignment one by one with a blank look, and then received the tools and began to work.

Some people were assigned to level the roadbed, some people dug the earth on both sides of the roadbed, and then threw the earthwork on the roadbed for the people above to flatten it, and some people pushed the chicken carts, escorted by the soldiers, to the stockyards everywhere, and used the chicken carts to pull the lime and coarse sand and other materials to the construction site, and after unloading them, they mixed them with the soil, sprinkled with water, and the lime immediately smoked.

As a result, some of the insect eggs in the soil will be killed by the high temperature produced by the lime, including some grass seeds, which will also lose their activity, and it will not be long before grass will emerge on the road.

Then there are coolies, like mules, pulling the dead stone and rolling it over the road, and crushing the roadbed into a solid cement, and this rolling needs to be repeated several times until the roadbed becomes completely solid.

Soldiers set up sentry posts around the construction site, watching the coolies as they worked, holding flintlock muskets loaded with ammunition in their hands, and monitoring their every move at all times.

The reason why the coolies were not allowed to wear clothes was to prevent them from mixing with other people while they were working, and it was not easy to see their identities, and all the coolies, without exception, were shaved off all their hair, so that they looked down from above, and they were as smooth as gourds, and it was very easy to recognize, as long as anyone dared to cross the cordon without authorization, the soldiers on the sentry would immediately shoot them without warning.

In this way, naturally few people dare to come easily, and as for these coolies who are passive and slack off when they are working, someone will naturally deal with them.

The sea wolf tribe selects a group of ruthless characters from the coolies, and groups them in the form of teams, each group of coolies will arrange a foreman, and then assign tasks to them according to the team, and someone is responsible for keeping the work, and every night to count it, and implement a reward and punishment system.

All the teams who have done their work well, completed the tasks on time and in excess of the amount will add food to them at dinner, and will add a little bit of food to them, and may even give them a little bit of fish and shrimp in their meals, which is simply a gift for the coolies who eat pig food every day, and for the foreman, they will also be rewarded with a small salted fish.

But for the team that can't complete the task on time, in addition to being hungry at night, the team leader will be dragged out of the gang to spank the fartboard.

In this way, in the face of the reward and punishment system, there is no need for the Seawolf to personally supervise them, the Seawolf only needs to tell each team that their workload is today, and there will naturally be a foreman who is responsible for supervising their subordinate coolies and forcing them to work.

In fact, these foremen are traitors, in other words, they belong to the traitor type, acting as doglegs for the sea wolves and squeezing the labor of these coolies, but there is never a shortage of such people, no matter where they are, there will be people who are willing to do such things, and when the foreman can work less, and eat a little better than others, it is naturally a good errand among coolies.

Each foreman gave them a rattan cane, which could represent their identity and symbolize the scepter, but this kind of scepter was really a bit sad, and at the same time, this rattan stick was also a weapon, and the foremen used them to supervise the work of their coolies.

Many of these coolies are now natives taken from Southeast Asia by the southern pirates, and these black-skinned monkeys are dirty, smelly, and lazy, but this laziness can be corrected, depending on how you manage them.

The general leader of the hard labor camp is surnamed Yan, called Yan Youde, but in fact he is a very immoral guy, but he is very loyal to Xiaotian, he was one of the first group of subordinates forcibly captured by Yu Xiaotian from the land, and after arriving under Yu Xiaotian, this guy did a very good job, and he was very brave in battle, but when he accidentally captured the ship, he was injured, blind in one eye, and two fingers were cut off on one hand.

Originally, this guy thought that this was the end, and a cripple like him would definitely be thrown away by Yu Xiaotian, let him fend for himself, and even directly kill and pull him down.

But he didn't expect Yu Xiaotian to find a way to treat his injuries, save his life, not to mention, reward him with a lot of silver, even marry him a wife, and set him up a home, and his wife also gave birth to a son for him.

In this regard, Yan Youde was grateful to Xiaotian, and felt that he had to repay Yu Xiaotian well in this life, and later because he was disabled and could not do things on the ship, so Yu Xiaotian saw that this kid was a ruthless character, so he asked him to take charge of the hard labor camp, and he was a leader among the sea wolves.

This guy is even more grateful, after arriving at the hard labor camp, he is in full swing, giving full play to his personal initiative, and desperately squeezing the labor force of these hard laborers for Yu Xiaotian.

At first, the coolies in the hard labor camp were mainly composed of some eliminated prisoners, and most of these eliminated prisoners were scum with bad behavior, Yu Xiaotian didn't like to use these scum to do things for himself, but letting them go and wasting labor, so he threw them into the hard labor camp to work.

These scumbags are not easy to deal with, not to mention a violent temperament, they all have bad stomachs, and there are many ghost ideas, but when they meet Yan Youde, they are unlucky, Yan Youde himself is a ruthless character, and he is a firm practitioner of the supremacy of violence.

Dealing with this group of scum, Yan Youde is not soft at all, he has come up with all the ways he can think of to lack morality, whipping is the smallest pediatric thing, dealing with those who are disobedient and don't speak, and even want to resist, his wrists are extremely brutal, cramps and peeling the skin and dismantling the bones alive, which are all commonly used methods.

As a result, not long after Yan Youde arrived at the hard labor camp, he packed up these scumbags and obeyed them, and all the scumbags would feel cold in their bones when they saw Yan Youde, where would they dare to be disobedient!

Later, the composition of the hard labor camp became complicated, and some sea wolf subordinates who violated discipline also became a member of the hard labor camp, and Yan Youde also showed no mercy to these guys who made mistakes.

So it didn't take long for Yan Youde to get the nickname of Lord Yama, and when someone was chatting behind his back, he joked that even if he went to see the real Lord Yama in this life, he must not fall into the hands of Yan Youde, the living King of Yama, otherwise, he would have to live and enjoy the torture of the eighteenth layer of hell.

The hard labor camp has now become synonymous with absolute terror among the sea wolves, and has become a sharp weapon to effectively deter some restless guys, no one wants to be thrown into the hard labor camp because of a little cheapness, so in front of the various reward and punishment systems set by Xiaotian, fewer and fewer people touch these rules and regulations, plus there are various effective reward and punishment systems and supervision systems, which make the sea wolf's military discipline very good, and I am afraid that there will be a credit to Yan Youde.

Now the scale of the hard labor camp is quite large, and among the sea wolf tribes, a group of disabled people, if they have no problem in moving, will be arranged to work under Yan Youde and act as the manager of the hard labor camp.

The hard labor camp was also divided into several sub-camps and handed over to some sea wolf tribes for management, but Yan Youde was still the absolute boss of the hard labor camp, and he would work tirelessly every day to inspect the places where the coolies concentrated work.

With the existence of this guy, there are few coolies who dare not work hard, as for those black-skinned monkeys from Southeast Asia, they can't help but be lazy when they get here, when they are all beaten, and after seeing the methods of Yan Youde and a group of hard-labor camp managers with their own eyes, these black-skinned monkeys immediately learned what it means to be industrious, and they naturally worked harder than one another.

After the start of the road construction project, the various construction sites immediately presented a hot scene, countless naked people, who did not even have a hair on their heads, you fought for me to do a lot of work on the construction site, and the speed of the project was much faster than Yu Xiaotian originally expected.

In just a few days, the roads of several construction sites have advanced for a long distance, and the roads that have begun to take shape have begun to appear in front of everyone.

It turned out that Yu Xiaotian planned to dig ditches and road works at the same time, but later Yu Xiaotian found that this arrangement was not very suitable, and the speed of the coolies in the road construction project was faster than that of the immigrants, and the immigrants would inevitably mix with the coolies when they dug ditches on the roadside.

In this way, there will be problems in the management of coolies, and the soldiers who monitor coolie labor cannot effectively monitor coolies, so later Yu Xiaotian simply removed the road construction and canal construction.

The excavation of the drainage canals on both sides of the road attached to the water conservancy project was completely carried out by the coolies, which saved a lot of work for the resettlement villages.

Seeing that all the new work in Tamsui City was starting step by step and was on track, Yu Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief, what did he do next?

Yu Xiaotian began to sit down and think about his next move.

But at the same time, a storm is brewing in the city of Manila on the island of Luzon, far south of the island of Taiwan.
