By the time of April, the land has been completely covered with green.

In Yan Shao's manor, thanks to the efforts of the gardener, a garden full of flowers and plants, as well as hedges that surround the pool and are deliberately made to look like a maze, have also grown.

The green lawn around the mansion is constantly swaying in the spring breeze, and if someone presses the pause button, it will definitely turn into a beautiful picture.

However, compared to the pleasant scenery in the manor, the atmosphere in the mansion is a little out of place.

There is no other reason, because Yan Shao, the ruler of this country and the owner of this manor, suddenly fell ill...

Of course, it's not a serious illness, it's just an ordinary wind chill, commonly known as a cold.

But perhaps because if a healthy person gets sick, the condition will be serious, so Yan Shao has been lying in bed for several days, and even official duties can only be temporarily put down.

The master was sick, and of course the subordinate could not seem very happy, and even the atmosphere of the whole manor became heavy.

At the same time, lying on the bed, Yan Shao also felt a little uncomfortable.

The only thing he was thankful for was that he had a common cold, not the flu. You must know that medicine in this era is not very developed, if it is the flu, then the matter is a little troublesome—————— how many people died from the Spanish flu in history?

On the other hand, although it was just a cold and not a flu, Yan Shao still moved out of his bedroom and ran to a guest room not far away, leaving the bedroom to Elaline and the others.

After all, colds are contagious. Although Yan Shao was nostalgic for their alluring carcasses like mutton fat and white jade, he didn't want them to suffer from colds like himself.

But...

"The bed here is so hard..."

patted the bed, Yan Shao said helplessly. Compared to usual, people also seem to be less spiritual.

Although the furniture in the guest rooms is also extravagant, in fact, since the mansion was built, the only people who have been lucky enough to live in the guest rooms of the mansion are Kaoru Otsuki's mother and daughter. So almost all of these extravagant furniture have never been used, and in addition to the unfamiliar environment, it is inevitable that they are not so comfortable...

"You deserve it..."

Sitting on the edge of Yan Shao's bed, Caterina said unceremoniously.

"I know that the period between winter and spring is the most susceptible to this disease. I actually got up at 5 o'clock, wore only a short-sleeved shirt and went out for a run, you say. You don't deserve anything..."Speaking of this, Caterina twisted her hand on Yan Shao's arm, looking like she hated iron but not steel.

However, she also knew that Yan Shao's health was not good now, so she didn't use much strength.

"Yes, yes, I know that the way is wrong..."The hero does not suffer the loss in front of him. Yan Shao hurriedly admitted his mistake.

And honestly. This is indeed his problem. Spring and winter are the most susceptible seasons to catch colds, and more than 5 o'clock in the morning is also one of the coldest hours of the day.

But this can't all be blamed on Yan Shao, who told the subordinates to make a mistake, and as a result, Yan Shao's usual running clothes were all washed and Yan Shao only had half sleeves available. In fact, Yan Shao usually pays attention to his body, even in the summer when running. I wear them more in both spring and winter.

Naturally, Yan Shao didn't think about it, and he wouldn't run away today. However, Yan Shao usually runs very regularly, always running every other day, and of course he is not willing to stop his plans for this kind of thing. And he doesn't think that if he wears short sleeves once in a while, he will catch a cold or something...

Who would have thought that just such a time, it just let him run into ...

"It can only be said that people are unlucky, it's such a tragedy..."

Sighing, Yan Shao said helplessly.

On the other side, after peeling the apple for Yan Shao, Elaline put the knife down and put the cut apple on a plate.

"I believe he should be able to take it to heart this time, and don't you have something serious to talk to him?" Patted Caterina, Elaline said softly.

Even through the trousers, Elanon's hands could still feel the incredible elasticity under the fabric.

"That's right, he was confused..."Rubbing her temples, Caterina also remembered to get down to business. It's about the flag man..."

"Solved?"

Hearing Caterina say that it was a matter of the flag man, Yan Shao was a little more energetic.

"Of course not..."Glancing at Yan Shao, Caterina still said a little fiercely. Now it's only been half a month since those banner people were dragged to labor reform, how can it be effective now, it's only a little bit of a solution..."

After speaking, Caterina explained, that is, what happened after those banner people were sent to 'labor reform'.

As once said, although not every one of these flag men is 'muddy and can't support the wall', most of them are definitely 'uncles', and each one is lazier than the other. Let them eat, drink and be merry, then they are definitely a good hand, but let them work?

Hehe...

To be honest, whether it is Yan Shao or Duan Qirui, they really want to leave them alone, after all, no one wants to care about such a group of slackers who belong to the 'uncle'.

But there is no way, we all know the importance of Manchu and Mongolia, unless you don't want the Northeast anymore, you can only find a way to transform them, instead of letting them fend for themselves or simply give them a physical destruction...

Naturally, in such a hurry to reform, there are also people within the government who have opposing opinions, and some people feel that they can take their time and not force these flag people.

The question is...

According to Article 5 of Paragraph 3 of the 'Regulations on Preferential Treatment of the Clean-up Room', 'the livelihood of the Eight Banners will be raised first, and their salaries will still be supported before they are decided', and the National Government needs to support the banner people until they are unable to solve their livelihood.

With the character of the banner people, it is almost impossible for them to solve their livelihood by themselves, let alone solve it themselves, even if the government comes forward to find them a job, it is difficult to say whether they are willing to do it. After all, these slackers are all 'uncles', and they don't need to work to get paid. How many people are unwilling to do this kind of good thing?

If we really help the banner people solve the livelihood problem first, as some moderates in the government do, I am afraid that it will not be solved in a few years.

So compulsive transformation has become the only option...

————————————————————

At this time, there are still many jobs available to flag people in the Beijing-Tianjin area. For example, the two cotton textile mills that Yushi Group is building are building. Each family needs about 10,000 people, and two families are 20,000. Moreover, the group will set up two cotton textile mills every year, and there are other cotton textile mills in the local area, and the number of workers is very large.

Naturally, at this time, the Manchu and Han discord was very serious, and those banner people were all 'uncles', and it is really difficult to say whether the private capitalists were willing to use these masters.

But Yan Shao's own family is no problem. Anyway, there are only two cotton textile mills, and now the group's main profit project has long since shifted from the cotton textile industry to the automobile industry and other industries, even if it loses, it is nothing.

But here's the catch. That is, the temper of those flag men has not changed, and it may not be a good thing to let them enter the factory directly. What's more, the cotton textile mill mainly uses female workers, and the number of male workers needed is only about 1,000 people...

Therefore, it is necessary to transform them first, so that they can change their minds—————— at least so that they will not play with their uncle's temper in the process of labor.

And in addition to cotton mills or some other factories. There is also a large amount of infrastructure in the Beijing-Tianjin area that needs to be repaired. I don't worry that they will have less work, and the renovation of these bannermen by the national government starts with these infrastructures.

After the demonstrations outside Dongjiaomin Lane, the government arrested them for the simple reason —————— to prevent them from storming the embassies of various countries in Dongjiaomin Lane.

Leaving aside for the moment whether they wanted to do so, or whether they were capable of doing so, at least the reason was recognized by States.

As a punishment for them, the Communist government decided to sentence them to six months of unconditional labor.

But as I said earlier, these bannermen are all slackers. It's almost impossible to make them work, not to mention free?!

So despite the threat of the Wehrmacht. The gang was led by the city government to a wilderness outside the city, where they were going to build a road leading to a small town dozens of kilometers away (after all, it had just begun, and it had not yet been renovated, so wouldn't it be a mess to let them directly participate in the city's infrastructure), but the gang either did nothing, just lay down or sit next to them and chatted, and even the guards came up to play a temper and say nothing to move. Either it's a symbolic two-time hit, and then you shout tired or wait for the person watching to turn around and immediately become lazy...

Of course, they are not ignorant, and they will definitely be punished for doing so.

But for these guys, in a way, maybe even getting beaten is better than work.

But...

Since Yan Shao dared to let them do this, it naturally meant that he had already thought of a solution...

————————————————————

The Wehrmacht is not a particularly strict military discipline, at least during the rest period, the troops will not prohibit them from going to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion to relax, and spend all the military salaries accumulated in the past on the belly of prostitutes—————— it is not surprising, after all, they are all strong young men of 2 or 30 years old, if they are kept holding back like this, something big will happen sooner or later.

At worst, there will be frequent pick-up of soap in the troops, and at worst, there will be ......... There's a good chance that something will happen that none of us want to happen...

As an army, the government strictly prohibits soldiers from harassing the people, and if anyone violates this article, the consequences will be serious. But if something has happened, no matter how serious your punishment is, some things are irreparable, not to mention that this is still an era of conservative folk customs, and women's chastity is as big as the sky...

And as an army full of strong young men, in addition to this kind of thing, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of fights and brawls in ordinary times, and there are a series of other problems, which also require means of punishment.

Although the government system is relatively authoritarian, it is obviously not advisable for the troops to use some of the punishment methods of the former Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it is inevitable to adopt new punishment methods.

First of all, direct punishments, such as caning or scologging, must be abolished. Instead, running...

It's not ordinary running, usually the troops are five kilometers and five kilometers, and ordinary running obviously won't be of much use. The punishment in the army is. Keep running until you can't run.

Of course, this is only a relatively light punishment, if it is a more serious matter, then...

Confinement...

This does not refer to confinement in general, but confinement in the true sense of the word.

In each of the Wehrmacht barracks, a special building was basically built. A building that makes all the officers and soldiers in the barracks gnash their teeth, because it is specially used to punish soldiers.

The reason why this building is special is that it is different from other buildings. There are no windows in this type of building. In addition, the walls of the entire building are very thick, much thicker than other buildings of the same era, which can ensure that the outside world cannot be heard.

This type of building is usually divided into two floors. 6 rooms per floor. In addition to an electric lamp for lighting, each room has only food and water for 5 days, and a toilet for handy.

Unless it's winter, let alone a bed, there is not even a bed, and people can only lie on the hard concrete floor.

The room is lit 24 hours a day, but no light or sound from the outside world can be heard. In extreme silence, the soldiers inside could hear the sound of their own blood flowing. The sound of the heart beating, and you can even hear the sound of the stomach and intestines pounding.

And before being locked in. All that could keep track of the erring soldier's body, including his watch, was confiscated, and food and water were prepared in the room for five days. It only takes a day or two for the soldiers locked up inside to completely lose their sense of time, and it feels like a day and every second, even a little stain on the wall can be stared at for a long time, plus the stench of excrement gushing out of the toilet...

In the case of being alone, it only takes a day or two for ordinary soldiers to withstand it, and even those who are extremely strong can hardly hold out for five days. And when these people came out of it, almost all of them had a nervous breakdown, and after a few days of confinement, they needed the same amount of time to recover.

Almost everyone who comes out of it definitely doesn't want to go in a second time, and many would rather get shot than stay in it for a day.

Confinement can be said to be the greatest magic weapon for the Wehrmacht to maintain military discipline.

Naturally, in addition to ordinary physical training and confinement, there are also other relatively common punishments in the army, such as warnings, serious warnings, circulars of criticism, demerits and major demerits, as well as demotion, demotion, dismissal and expulsion from the military, and even sentences may be imposed in serious cases, but these are usually for crimes or something.

————————————————————

There is no corporal punishment for these flag men, after all, these people are lazy and deadly, and it is almost impossible to make them run like soldiers except for beating them. It's just that these people are very weak, so you have to think about it when beating them, don't beat them to death.

After all, they are not prisoners of war, they are just a group of prisoners who have been taken down, and if they die too much, it will still be very unfavorable to the government in terms of public opinion.

Then it would be useful to have a way of not physically harming them, but still allowing them to punish them and make them honest.

For example, confinement...

As a means of punishment specially used to deal with the largest violent organ in the world, the effect of confinement is very strong—————— of course, there is also a big difference between confinement and confinement, for example, the kind mentioned above is basically isolated from the outside world, and even the sound cannot be transmitted, basically it is close to the most severe one, and if it is more severe, it is usually only given a small space where people can't even lie down, and there will be no lights in it, and it is completely dark.

The more relaxed ones are actually a room, and if you want to go in, you might be able to bring a newspaper or a novel to have a pastime, but the degree can only be said to be different.

And what is given to these flag men is undoubtedly the method used by the soldiers.

Basically, anyone who is passive and slacks off their work will be sent to a newly built confinement cell.

At first, the bannermen didn't really pay much attention, after all, they were just locked in a windowless room, and they weren't going to whip them.

At this time, they did not notice the strange smile on the lips of those Wehrmacht officers and soldiers beside them.

For the flag man who entered for the first time, the person in charge of supervision did not give too severe a punishment, but only a day's confinement. But even so, there are still many flag men who are almost mentally broken, and after more than ten hours, they desperately slam the door, when the door is opened, and those people rush out of the confinement room, the expressions on their faces surprise the surrounding flag men and the people in the city government, while the people in the army next to them show a concerned expression...

Generally speaking, most of the people who have entered once will not go in the second time, of course, there are some lazy people who are really not good, and the most lazy ones are dragged upside down by the troops and thrown into the confinement room—————— the reason why they are said to be backwards is because they struggle after learning that they are going to be confined.

And for such guys who refuse to change their ways, the punishment will also be increased, from one day to two days, if there is another one, it will increase to three days, then four days, and the maximum is five days, because if it is more than five days, it is easy to lock people up and go crazy—————— in fact, for these guys, three days has already made them have a nervous breakdown.

"I have to say that the confinement method does work very well...", the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and Caterina smiled. According to the report below, the ordinary flag man is honest when he goes in once, at most he is a little lazy when he works, and when he comes out twice, he is already in a semi-crazy state, and the most times he has been in it is three times, and that person seems to be working harder than anyone else..."

It looks like the renovation work is going well... (To be continued......)
