"Since the winter, hasn't anyone frozen to death..."
Yang Shigu asked with some surprise: He only felt a little weird, and then he turned into some kind of disapproving faint mood.
Because even when he was in the rebel army in his early years, he had seen the corresponding situation with his own eyes; in fact, in this kind of sudden cold and warm weather, even the current commander of Huang Wang was inevitably suffering from various frostbite and frostbite. Examples; let alone the people under the rule, it is a blessing to be able to die fewer people.
Therefore, in his opinion, this is just for the sake of the Taiping Army's face, and then a little exaggeration; but he is also a city that has experienced ups and downs, and he will definitely not be truthful or questioning.
"It's a real thing... Is it possible to tell elsewhere in Jingzhou..."
Chai Erwa, the leader of the teaching team accompanying him, responded without hesitation:
"But under the management of our army, there is no such thing. If Mr. Yang has any doubts, the head of the military will also be diplomatic. These new and old villages and the management of the army, even if the husband is going to see it. Hello... Mr. Welcome to correct the deficiencies..."
"This..."
Hearing these words, Yang Shigu was a little moved and a little sad, but he knew it as warm and cold as drinking ice in a dog days. Then he developed a certain stubborn and extra-careful inquiring heart, wanting to know what makes this monk Xu so magnificent and confident, not from his subordinates' boasting.
"Then let us just point to an earlier place..."
After half a day, Yang Shigu simply came to the site outside of a named construction site. Since regaining Jiangling City, the project has been carried out for several months in succession; now it has reached the third stage. Part of the period.
It seems that the step-by-step help has been going on for a long time, and the daily scene is still full of enthusiasm. Yang Shigu didn't intend to call the local person in charge to report and show what he had done. Instead, with the help of the identity and convenience provided by Chai Erwa, he specially visited a few of these inconspicuous places.
After all, compared to the land of Guangfu, which has only become drier and cooler in winter, organizing labor is not a simple matter in this snowy winter in Jiangling. If there is not enough warmth and food protection, I am afraid it will end up with a large movie.
However, what he saw in the scorched yellow kitchen shed was the porridge soup and the roasted yellow potatoes, which were not thick enough to stand up the chopsticks, but not too thick. As for the cleanness, like water, it can hold the spoon; when it is stirred vigorously, it is the color of grains more than mixed vegetables.
And among the large rows of shacks in a uniform pattern filled with mud-filled slabs, he at least saw thick straw bedding and felt bedding, as well as coal stoves for heating and boiling water overnight, and neat personal eating and washing utensils. ；
Although the air is inevitably slightly dirty and sweaty and smelly, there are not many traces of filth remaining, and it seems that they have been regularly cleaned and cleaned up.
In the end, even those old, weak, sick and disabled who can only do some chores seem to be skinny but not much weak and exhausted; although the rags on their bodies are pickled and dirty, they are still tightly wrapped. If even their supply can be taken into account, then this cold winter is really not easy to die.
As for the dozens of piles of dirt and yellow and black wooden plaques that were seen on the hillside outside, Yang Shigu really has no face to continue to make people dig the ground three feet more truthfully. Up.
On the way back, Chai Erwa continued to introduce him to follow-up passages.
"The leader of his old man has said that the next step is to gradually cancel the local conscription, and according to the household level and distance, the corresponding surrogate money will be discounted..."
"What... there is such a thing..."
Yang Shigu couldn't help being surprised. As a former scholar from a humble background, he has also seen with his own eyes how those subordinates used the opportunity of assigning and corvee to confuse their wealthy or wealthy homes to the end of their lives. .
This may be a great thing for the people to recuperate, but Yang Shigu remembered another thing, and couldn't help but ask:
"Then how to deal with the work in the future..."
He was not the kind of person who was so lofty and moved easily for a short time; he soon thought of the obvious difference between the Taiping Army's rule and the rebels' main formation. Compared with eating wherever you go, the goals of the Taiping Army are undoubtedly much higher for most of the Volunteers who only have extensive control under the rule; but this is more important for the governance of various farmland, water conservancy, rivers and bridges. The requirements for construction and management on the road are also extraordinary.
Then he shook his head again, feeling that he was a bit too involved in the problem, and he couldn't help but touch the other side's taboos; just as he wanted to make up for it, Chai Erwa couldn't help thinking.
"Of course it is for more professional teams to do things in these professional fields. If there is a serious shortage of manpower, at most, it is better to raise some Ding Zhuang during the slack time to make up for it; it is better than to make those who have not eaten a few days to eat The villagers who don’t know what discipline and order are, are much more worry-free and trouble-free..."
"..."
At this moment, Yang Shigu was almost speechless.
"According to what the manager taught me, this involves the result of cost performance and final effectiveness..."
Chai Erwa continued to explain to him. .
"Directly support and train a few relatively capable, professional and versatile engineering construction teams; in terms of specific investment, it is actually no better than the blind and extensive grasp of the past, and the countless people who lack skills and experience Strong, forcibly driven out of the house and brought their own food, utensils, and driven to travel between roads and construction sites, which caused huge human labor and loss of household registration."
"Not to mention the long-term negative impact and setbacks that this will bring about potential backlashes and delays in local farming and personal family livelihoods... In short, the old method of corvage continues to be used, which is caused by the evil politics and the accumulated evils. Up..."
"Then why don't you just get rid of the money for the acting service..."
As soon as Yang Shigu said these words, he felt that he had crossed over again.
"Of course it is for the sake of the long-term development of the locality. Everything needs a transitional process of accepting and adapting to changes..."
However, Chai Erwa still replied indifferently.
"The manager said that sudden and unreasonable favors for no reason, except for the short-lived momentary gratitude and confusion, will only develop the local insatiable appetite and the long-term inertia of connivance and dependence; retain these surrogate money. It’s just one of the means to continue to drive them after removing bad governance..."
"It is also convenient for most people to understand at all times. There are no unreasonable benefits and relationships in this world; since they have received the corresponding convenience and preferential treatment, they must also pay something for this, in order to work together to preserve and guard all of what they are gaining. That's it."
"The Taiping Army never raises useless lazy people, and does not encourage the ungrateful behavior of picking up bowls to eat and putting down the bowls to scold their mothers... Regardless of the nobility, the good and the bad, all people have to pay for their own choices and attitudes. The price, no exceptions are allowed..."
"Actually, you don't need to explain this to me..."
Hearing this, Yang Shigu couldn't help sighing. However, when he saw the other party, he turned upright and arched his hands in a distance.
"The director specifically explained that Mr. Yang is one of the few in the rebel army who is clean and self-conscious, but he was determined to find a way out of the suffering people in the world, so he can be blunt to him. Anyway, under the rule of Taiping, it is not impossible. The place to see people calmly..."
Hearing these words, Yang Shigu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed; his self-cleanliness was based on his closed heart as dead water after losing his love in his early years; and even his attitude towards certain things Haven't persisted so obviously. At least in terms of some cognition and awareness about the future of the Rebels, it is not even as good as this small school of the Taiping Army.
Then, Yang Shigu once again had a deeper understanding. It is precisely because the upper and lower members of the opposing army are of the same mind, even this small school has the corresponding understanding and determination to make the current cause of joint operation flourish.
In contrast, in the General's Mansion, although everyone respected the orders of the King Huang and acted under the banner of the rebellious army; privately, there were many people with their own opinions and plans. So much so that there was so much rushing in, and the great momentum of defeating the army again and again, but it was still unable to work together to stabilize and expand the situation in a certain place.
Then, he once again had continuous doubts and vacillations about his mission and hopes; at least even if he understood and mastered so much information about the Taiping Army, how many opportunities and spare energy would he have in the generals Let's start now.
Although the Grand General’s Mansion also claims to be kind to the people and cherish Li Shu, but because of the impermanence of moving to different places, there are only some intermittent short-term measures and actions; and even most of the time, the means of giving food and relief are to attract And gather more pre-war rights and interests to fill the forerunner.
And here in the Taiping Army, he saw for the first time the long-term planning and deployment of management methods for the livelihood of Li Shu. But it's an existence that can't be moved if you want to copy the past. Unless he can gain more authority and spare no effort in the general's mansion, it will be possible to open the situation.
Thinking of this, Yang Shigu was once again filled with some helpless pessimism and disappointment. At this time, a voice rang from the side of the road.
"This father-in-law, can I borrow a ox cart with you for a while..."
Yang Shigu looked intently, but he was a young man with a swollen nose and swollen face. His shirt was thin and there were traces of free tearing. He couldn't help but nodded slightly to Chai Erwa who was driving.
"But I don't know where the younger generation will go..."
"We are from Sankong Village and plan to go back to Hekouchang."
The young man with his expression still a little bit angry and angrily said.
. . . . . . . .
Raozhou, the main hall of the General's Mansion in Poyang City.
In front of Huang Chao, who was expressionless, several new army generals brought in by Huang Rui were also holding a few pieces of paper, expressing their petitions and pleading loudly:
"This is the purpose of the "Outline of Taiping Fields"? What land is returned to the public, rationed according to needs, and half of what is obtained... Enlightenment and literacy, enlightenment skills...?"
"It's unreasonable, this is what the monk Xu claims to be, how can it be spread to the rule of the general mansion..."
"More than that, there are still people in the soldiers who believe that they are really bewitched and tempted. They are already asking and asking whether the General Mansion also has such benefits and measures..."
"I also heard from the brothers who recruited people from the local area. Some of the refugees and teams who came halfway to surrender have heard the news and turned to the west..."
"This is really worrying... Maybe you want to demolish the tabletop of the General's Mansion and dig my heels... I must not let such nonsense continue to circulate under my hands..."
