Three days later, Ren Baqian took people out of the city to the prison camp to have a look, but the situation at the scene made him frown.
Dirty, messy, and lifeless.
Nearly 100,000 people were held in three prisoner camps, and more than 30,000 people in each prisoner camp slept directly on the ground. I don't know where all the arrangements made by Tongzhenye in the previous paragraph went. The three prisoner camps had nothing but a fence around them.
Everyone in the prison camp was dirty, their faces could not be seen clearly, as if they had rolled out of mud, and it was unknown how long it had been since they had bathed.
Presumably they were never washed after they were captured.
On the occasional raised face, one could still see the fear in the eyes.
"Is this how you arrange these people?" Ren Baqian frowned and said, he saw that everyone was curled up in a pile of people, completely disorganized, and the worst thing was that he was the one in the crowd He even saw two women.
Two women and a bunch of men squeezed together, one can imagine how bad it would be.
He also defecated everywhere, and since he entered the camp, he could always smell the lingering stench, which was intertwined with the rotten smell of the prisoners, which made people almost faint.
A large number of fly-like insects are flying around in the camp, which is annoying.
But many of those captives didn't bother to drive them away even if insects landed on them.
"My lord, what's the problem?" Accompanying Ren Baqian was a captain and several school lieutenants, all of whom were transferred from the Central Protectorate to serve as the backbone of this auxiliary army. They were surprised when they heard Ren Baqian's words, looked at these people, they were very honest, they killed all the troublemakers.
"Do you know what these people are going to use for?" Ren Baqian asked first.
"I don't know, my lord." The Captain replied honestly.
"We need them to build roads, bridges, cities, and mines. There are many things for them to do. If you want them to do these things, you must first let them live, and they must live well. Only living people can do things.
The reason why you worked so hard to transport them here from Yunguo is not to let them bury their bodies in the soil and turn them into fertilizer after they die. "
"Oh, I really thought it was going to be buried! It is said that the crops grow especially well in the land where the corpses are buried!" The captain had a simple and honest face. Last year, hundreds of thousands of corpses were buried in the north, and the food in the north grew rapidly after that. is excellent.
"They are dead, I will drag you to dig mines and build roads?" Ren Baqian really wanted someone to dig a hole to bury him.
"My lord, what should I do?" The captain scratched his head and looked at Ying Li. Although it was a bit dirty, it was still quite stable. These people couldn't die if they stuttered.
"Keep watching!" Ren Baqian said with a straight face, and continued walking around the prisoner camp, and then found more problems.
There are still many wounds on their bodies, lying there moaning, but no one takes care of them, and there is no doctor to treat them. Many people's wounds are rotten and smelly. Those who are still alive are lucky. Many of those who died on the road were wounded like this.
And many of the injuries on these people were caused along the way.
It is not clear how it was caused.
During the period, I saw them eating once, and the food was unexpectedly good. It was broth, which was full of fragrant fat and offal. There was another chaos during the meal, pushing, trampling, and even fighting could be seen.
Those militiamen didn't seem to be surprised. They just went in with sticks and smashed the heads of a dozen people and broke the hands and feet of two people when the riot was at its worst.
After a rough tour of the three prison camps, Ren Baqian first gave an order to let everyone take a bath and build some public toilets. Then he returned to the palace with a frown and began to write vigorously.
The situation in the prisoner camp must be improved. These people cannot be allowed to lie on the ground. They also need to build simple residences to improve their living conditions.
Otherwise, not to mention the morning and evening dew, as long as there is a heavy rain, many people will fall ill, and if the weak are not treated in time, it depends on whether their lives are short or not.
Then equip some ordinary doctors and apprentices, at least so that they will not die from minor diseases that can be cured by a few herbs.
The most important thing is the various systems. The systems of these prisoner camps must be established first.
There is no such thing as a circle without rules, and with rules, there will be order. With order, these captives can survive under order.
The first article, Ren Baqian wrote about the formation, organized these captives into ten brigades, each with 10,000 people.
Each brigade is divided into ten squadrons, each with a thousand people. Further down is the team, each with a hundred people. Further down is the group, each group has ten people.
At the same time, select one of the captives as the team leader to manage the team, with the ancient militia as the team leader, and the person with high prestige among the prisoners as the deputy team leader to assist in the management.
In the future, all actions of these captives will be in groups, whether it is work or residence, they will be in groups.
At the same time, men and women are not allowed to mix in the group, even if they are from the same family, they must be separated.
The most important thing is to implement the continuous sitting system.
If one person in the group runs away, the whole group stays together; when one group runs away, the whole team stays together; and so on.
At the same time, if someone in the group causes trouble, everyone in the group will be punished. Which group's work is negligent, and the entire group is also punished.
Next, Ren Baqian wrote dozens of rules in a profuse manner, including what he saw and what he could think of.
It covers all aspects from starting work in the morning, eating, finishing work, going to bed, hygiene, daily behavior rules, and covering all aspects. With these systems, presumably the prisoner camp should be able to look like something.
As for what problems are found in the future, just add it to it.
However, there is another very important point that he remarked on another piece of paper, that is, as a modern person, he is not used to using some people as slaves forever, and he also understands that people need a certain amount of hope to survive. Learn more about what a modicum of hope means to these captives.
They would struggle to catch the firefly-sized light in the darkness.
I need to give them a hope, and they will keep moving towards that hope and hold on to it tightly.
And the hope given to them is very simple, that is, to give them freedom after a certain number of years. As long as they can live to that time, they can live in this world like normal people and reunite with their families.
For this goal, these people will work hard to live, and at the same time reduce many unstable factors.
Otherwise, if there is no hope, these people will either be thinking about how to escape, or they will be like walking dead. This kind of work efficiency can be imagined.
There is a completely different efficiency between doing something with hope and doing things day by day.
Because although road construction is not a very meticulous project, it is not easy to do. In particular, many places have to climb mountains and rivers.
If there is any problem during the period, if there is no hope, these people will definitely not say it, because it has nothing to do with them.
But if they have a little subjective initiative and a certain reward and punishment system, they will take the initiative to point out the problems.
Which of these two kinds of efficiency is higher or lower, you can think of it with your toes.
