On the earthen platform, Ma Xiaoliu holds a mallet in one hand and a simple horn rolled up by iron sheet in the other.
He looked down at the dark crowd with a little fear in his heart.
This is his first appearance on the stage.
Deng Cunli needs people, but also can write can calculate, trusted people.
The lack of talents not only gives Gu Jiu a headache, but also makes the people who work below headache.
The speed of training talents by the two Zhuangs can not catch up with the needs.
Can't help, Gu Jiu had to send a few small yellow sects around him.
Ask them to follow Deng Cunli's side to study hard and hope to be able to take charge of it one day.
Ma Xiaoliu looks back at Deng Cunli and Duke Deng standing behind him.
Deng Cunli's eyes stare, Ma xiaoliuyi shivers, as if in the palace, quickly suppress the tension of the mood, play twelve points spirit.
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
Ma Xiaoliu pounded the gongs and drums with a mallet.
"Everybody's here, isn't it. There are three main things to call you here today. "
All the refugees cocked up their ears and listened carefully for fear of missing a word.
Some of the children were hungry and a little restless. Wang Lianshi raised his hand and hit, "don't make a sound. First listen to what the owner says."
Li Sheng stood in the crowd, yellow and thin, no two meat. But he is tall and stands out from the crowd.
He rubbed the yellow mud on his body and crushed another flea to death.
He was originally from caizhou, and his family had a small amount of production.
After three years of drought in my hometown, I sold what I could sell. I had no surplus grain, so I could only eat wild vegetables and gnaw bark.
When the wild vegetable bark was not eaten, he had no choice but to follow the whole village to escape from the wilderness.
As a result, a rare rainstorm was encountered on the way. The river rose and broke the river bank and scattered the family members.
As the flood receded, he survived, but his family disappeared.
He didn't believe that all ten of his family were dead.
He remembered that his family had made an appointment to go to the capital.
Maybe his family is waiting for him in the capital.
He tightened his belt and went on his way alone to become a refugee in the capital.
He survived by a daily meal of porridge from the government.
From last year to Beijing, until this year, he has been wandering around trying to find his family.
One after another, hope and disappointment.
Two months ago, the lifeless refugee shack area ushered in the first recruitment.
At that time, he missed it because he was so disappointed.
For two months, he watched the people around him grow stronger and stronger because they got a job on the construction site. He not only provided for his family, but also had money to pull a foot of cloth for his mother-in-law. At last, he had clothes to cover his body.
He also saw half a boy working on the construction site. He could get back several copper plates every day, as well as white flour steamed bread that he was reluctant to eat.
It's real steamed bread.
The steamed bread with white flowers makes Li Sheng drool in his dreams every day.
He also wants to eat steamed bread, he also wants to work, he wants to save money.
When he found his family one day, he also had the money to pull two feet of cloth for his mother-in-law to make new clothes and buy two liang of brown sugar for the children.
He stretched his neck and looked at the young man on the platform.
He had heard that the owner was a member of the royal family. Therefore, the steward here is the father-in-law in the palace.
The word "father-in-law" is very deterrent.
Anyway, no one dares to be presumptuous in front of a few father-in-law.
Ma Xiaoliu coughed twice and cleared his throat. He held a tin trumpet and said in a loud voice: "listen, everyone. The first thing is to recruit 500 women and children, collect excrement every day, clean up the garbage in the roadway, and then clean up the trees and weeds on the nearby mountains.
The treatment is: four people a day, plus three coppers. Those who want this job will queue up here to sign up. Anyone who dares to fight and make trouble will not be allowed to do so. "
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Women and children rushed to the left side of the big locust tree.
Wang Lianshi, with three children, is also running to the left.
When she was running, she lost a straw sandal, so she had to go back and pick it up.
By the time she got into the line, there were hundreds of people in front of her.
Wang Lian's face turned pale.
If it wasn't for straw sandals, she would have been in the top 300.
She took a few children, said to the children: "cheer up, we mother three, there must be someone selected."
Wang Ergen nodded heavily.
He was twelve years old and short because of lack of food and clothing.
Don't want him on the construction site. He's too young.
He envied his elder brother, Wang Jiangen, who could go to the construction site every day and eat white rice and bone soup every day.
And on the construction site, every two days you eat meat, although there are only three pieces of pork, Wang Ergen sucked and slipped, I really envy.
It is said that those craftsmen can eat meat two meals a day.He looks at the front, he must be elected.
In this way, there will be four nests a day, plus three copper plates.
When he has enough copper, he will buy a pair of straw sandals and eat meat.
The team is progressing very fast. Some are selected and others are eliminated.
Those who have been elected are crying with joy.
Even if the eliminated people are dissatisfied, they dare not force them blindly. Because there are bodyguards with swords and sticks.
These guards are not vegetarian.
In the past, some people cut in the queue, and the sticks fell like raindrops and were beaten to death.
There were also refugees who had a bully to do business, and then disappeared from the shack area two days later.
Some say they were thrown into a pool and drowned.
Someone was buried alive in the mountains.
Some people said that they were caught by the government and killed directly.
In any case, it's all a death.
These guards, with sticks in their hands, taught the refugees what is obedient to eat and what is queuing.
On the stage, Ma Xiaoliu is announcing the second thing.
"For the second thing, a thousand labors are needed to dig ditches. Treatment: two meals a day of brown rice, four Wotou, plus broth, and eight coppers a day. People who want to work should queue up on the right side. Anyone who dares to fight and make trouble will be driven out. "
Boom!
The ranks of refugees exploded like firecrackers.
The men ran to the right hand, fearing that they would be late and not be named.
Li Sheng, with his height advantage and long legs, ran in front.
Since yesterday noon to eat a meal of water porridge, the whole day and night, he did not enter a grain of rice.
He was very hungry.
He took out the fastest speed in his life in front of the line, but a little dizzy and flustered.
He tightened his belt. He must be too hungry.
He has the strength to be elected.
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
Three more gongs and drums.
Ma Xiaoliu took the tin trumpet and said in a loud voice, "there is one last thing. The first batch of people who are about to complete the construction site can consult with them. There are people here from morning till night. By the way, it doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can pay for your house by working. In addition to the courtyard, there are two floors of small buildings
No movement.
I don't have enough to eat. Where can I buy a house.
Few people listen to the so-called third thing.
But Li Sheng listened.
Courtyard?
Two story building?
Can you work for the house?
There was something tickling in his mind.
If you can be elected, eight coppers a day, you should be able to hope for a while.
When you find your family, you don't have to live in a shack, you can live in a new house.
Just, don't you go back home?
Li Sheng is very tangled.
But it didn't last long, because it was his turn soon.
Ma Xiaoliu is a little embarrassed. The house is full of people's struggle, but they don't want to be covered by tiles. Why are these people not responding.
He looked back at Deng Cunli.
Deng Cunli didn't care.
The main target of the first phase of the project is not the refugees who can't eat enough.
Those who really have purchasing power and are willing to buy houses are craftsmen working on construction sites and refugees with income.
This is also the first group of people planned to move.
The second group of people to be relocated in the plan will use violence when necessary.
But not yet.
If you want to carry out the second batch of large-scale relocation, you must first ensure that most families have people working to earn money.
Since last year, we have been working on the registration of these refugees.
Tens of thousands of refugees, place of origin, where they came from, whether they have committed crimes, family demographic structure, and the number of laborers in the family have been registered for a long time.
Recruitment, not only to see whether there is a labor force, can bear hardships.
We should also look at the number of workers in this family and how many of them are already working.
If there are three workers in a family, two of them have already got jobs. Then there is one labor force left. I'm sorry, but I have to give the opportunity to others.
If we want to resettle these refugees, we must distribute them equally to a certain extent.
If you can't divide food equally, you have to take out some of your work and distribute it equally.
Finally, it was the turn of the wanglian family.
"From where?" The man glanced at the family and asked seriously.
Wang Lianshi was very nervous and rubbed a corner of his clothes and whispered, "people from caizhou."
Man, it's clear.
In recent years, there have been many drought in caizhou.
Some of them went to the South and some came to the capital.A lot of people died on the way.
The clerk picked up the population register of caizhou, "what's the family name of husband?"
"Surname Wang."
Zhao Qian Sun Li
Population registration should be arranged according to 100 family names.
"Wang what?"
"Wang Lian."
"What's your son's name?"
Wang Ergen took the initiative to step forward, "my name is Wang Ergen, and my brother's name is Wang Jiangen. He is working underground coolie."
The man nodded and quickly found the wangergen family.
"Only Wang Jiangen is working in your family now?"
Wang Lianshi nodded again and again and said cautiously, "only my brother is working. There are too many people in the family, and the food they earn is not enough to eat. "
The man didn't say a word.
He glanced at the next steward. The steward nodded slightly.
"Wang Ergen, you've been employed," the man said without expression. Take this note and go to the next room to do the formalities. Next
Wang Ergen was overjoyed and held the note tightly for fear that it might fall off.
Wang Lianshi was worried, "well, what about me?"
The man said impolitely, "if you hire your son, you won't get a chance. Don't get in the way, next. "
Wang Lianshi was a little flustered and wanted to ask again, but he was pushed aside by the people behind him.
The people behind were very dissatisfied and muttered, "my son has been employed. What else do you want? It's hard not to think that the whole family will be employed. "
Wang Lianshi blushed and left with some children.
Wang Ergen went to the next door with a note.
The clerk took the note, looked at it, took out the stick, dipped the brush in a little red paint, and wrote Wang Ergen's name, age, native place and date.
Blow the paint dry and give it to him. "Take it. On this basis, the foreman pays for food. If it falls off, it should be replaced in time. "
Wang Ergen held the stick tightly, as if he was holding a treasure instead of an identity plate.
Similarly, he saw it on his elder brother Wang Jiangen.
The elder brother regards the stick as a treasure, and no one is allowed to touch it.
He heard his elder brother say that without sticks, he could not get paid for his work.
On the construction site, someone once dropped the wooden stick. Before making up for it, Leng didn't eat a mouthful of rice and got a Wen's wages.
Wang Ergen looked all over his body. It was not convenient to put the wood sticks anywhere.
Fortunately, there was a hole in the wood. He found a thread to string up and hang it around his neck, so he was not afraid to drop it.
On the big locust tree, in the crowd, there are many people's necks with a piece of wood.
Those who have sticks have been envied by others.
They subconsciously puff their chests apart from those who don't have a job.
Even if they were still hungry, they didn't get any money. However, those who have sticks are higher than others.
Wang Lianshi was very happy and envious.
She didn't expect two to be chosen.
"Niang, I just said that I'm going to work today. I'll be able to go home tonight with the boss and the money
Wang Lianshi cried with joy, "good, good. You and your big brother have jobs, and our family's good days are coming. "
Wang Ergen grinned.
Li qingzhuang gathered around his neck with a group of wooden sticks.
The recruitment speed is very fast. By the time the sun comes out, 500 women and children have been fully recruited.
Man, we've got ten captains out of them, and each captain has 50 men.
"Remember, each team has its own mission area. If the team fails to complete the task, all labor costs will be halved. "
Gu Jiu made the rules, only deduction of wages, not deduction of rations.
The women and children were buzzing and talking. The ten men who were selected as team leaders were under great pressure.
The man continued, "no fighting, no cheating. Those who disobey the orders will all be confiscated of the sticks and driven out. Choose others. "
Everyone was nervous.
It is said that dozens of people have been replaced because of laziness.
"Each person has a share of the tools. If anyone dares to hide the tools and take them home secretly, all the labor money of the team will be halved."
People who originally had the idea of making tools felt flustered and quickly gave up the idea.
The man assigned the task, and the 500 people began to work under the leadership of their respective team leaders.
I can't finish the task of the day, but I have to pay for it.
No one wants to be paid.
The leader of Wang Ergen's team is a woman in her thirties, who is very strong. I heard that I had worked in the landlord's house before and had been in charge of things.
Under the leadership of the team leader, we took the tools and came to the place where the chips were cut.
Wang Ergen was assigned to pick up dung balls.
He is high spirited, picking up the dung ball all picked up a sense of superiority.……
A thousand strong laborers were gathered together in the same team of fifty.
Li Sheng was made captain because he could read.
he led the team, and took the hoe, shovel, pole, basket, and set out for the task area.
According to the requirement, they are going to dig a ditch.
In the design drawing, Li Sheng and their ditch is an underground sewage channel.
After the channel is excavated, a stone road will be built on it.
In the sun for several days, the ground was hard.
A hoe down, the hands are trembling.
Li Sheng spat on his hands and rubbed his hands.
I haven't worked in the field for a year, and the hoe is almost unable to move.
Today's task is relatively heavy. He is also the team leader. He should not be lazy, but also play a leading role.
Even if you are hungry, you should use all your strength.
If you can't finish the task, your salary will be halved. He'll be killed by his teammates.
The sun is rising.
The aunt of the logistics group sent several barrels of tartary buckwheat tea.
We drink tea in batches to replenish water.
What's more, tartary buckwheat tea can make the tired and hungry body shake up, and work hard until noon, there will be brown rice to eat and broth to drink.
After tea, go on working.
At noon, under the shade of trees near the construction site.
Li Sheng is holding a ceramic bowl, with pickles, quickly grilling brown rice.
Eat at the construction site and manage to be full.
He ate three bowls at a time and drank two bowls of broth.
Touching his round stomach, he was satisfied.
How long has he not had enough?
A year?
Two years?
Or three years, five years?
Anyway, he hasn't had a decent meal since the disaster. Not to mention the broth.
Satisfied after eating, washed out the body's fatigue.
I really want to eat brown rice every day and drink broth every day.
Other people, like Li Sheng, feel full for the first time in many years, which is a kind of unreal feeling.
"The owner is kind!"
"I'm too full to move."
"Lie down and sleep for a while. It's going to work in the afternoon. "
"Woo I want to take the broth back to my family. "
Bang!
The crying boy was slapped on the head.
"Cry for what. In the evening, we have Wotou. Take Wotou back. "
If you work on the construction site, you can only take the wowowotou back.
It's the rule.
One of the reasons for setting this rule is that people who are worried about going to work are reluctant to eat in order to bring food to their families, and they go to work hungry every day. If we delay the construction period, we may take our lives in it.
Second, they are worried that some people will eat and take their own money.
Food is also cost-effective, not pie in the sky.
In order to control the cost of the construction site, it is necessary to put an end to any behavior that is harmful to the public and benefiting the private.
Once someone secretly hid rice balls. When they were found out, they were beaten up and fined ten days' wages. As a typical example, it was publicized in the refugee shelter area.
For the second time, just get out.
Since then, a lot of ready to move hands have all shrunk back.
How many rice balls can I buy for ten days' wages.
It's too bad.
Of course, some people don't believe in evil and have to challenge the rules of the construction site.
As a result, they were driven out and there was no way out.
Li Sheng is full on his own, but his family is not hungry.
He doesn't have to bring rice balls to anyone, and he doesn't have to worry about whether to bring rice balls or not.
Eat and drink, go to the ground, sleep.
I have to go to work in the afternoon and have a good rest.
Wang Jiangen finished his meal and took a mouthful of oil.
There is meat to eat today.
His aunt in charge of logistics gave him three pieces of the fattest pieces of meat, which made him very happy.
It's good to eat meat.
Eat meat, as if full of strength.
After dinner, the captain called them to speak.
"The houses on the construction site were built by ourselves, brick by brick. I don't need to tell you how the house is. You all know it. "
People nodded, do not know what medicine the captain sells in the gourd.
"Do you want to live in the new house?" the captain asked
A man grinned. "The captain is so funny. We are not qualified to live in such a good house."
"Who said I was joking?" The captain was stern and serious.
The man was stunned, "can you really live?"
The captain laughed in a twinkling of an eye. "The owner is considerate and gives us a chance to live in a new house. Courtyard, with well, a room of eight Liang silver.
It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can pay in installments over three years. However, it will cost one or two silver dollars to pay in three years. It can also be paid in installments over five years. A house is ten Liang silver. This is the price of the main house.The rooms on the left and right sides are smaller, and each room is six Liang silver. Seven Liang is paid in three years and eight Liang is paid in five years. There are two floors of small buildings, you can buy them upstairs and downstairs. But that's too expensive. I won't tell you the price. "
There was no sound.
All of them are confused.
We will be satisfied if we can have enough to eat, feed our families and buy two decent clothes.
I never thought I could buy a house.
It's a bit of a shock.
The point is, the house is really solid, and it's still in the capital. It's very expensive to have a room in your hometown, but it's not so expensive in Beijing.
Although we escape from famine, live in shacks and eat relief, we also know that the prices in Beijing are high.
"Is this, this, this, true?"
"It's true, of course. I can't cheat you. See the craftsman over there? Some of those craftsmen have already planned to buy a courtyard house on their own, and others want to buy a small two-story building. "
"How much does that cost?"
"A craftsman has a lot of money, but he is not afraid to have no money."
"If you buy a house, can you go back to your hometown?"
"If you buy a house, you can settle down in the capital."
"You can't go back to your hometown."
"Don't think about it. If you want to buy a house, you don't have to go back home. "
"The house is too expensive to afford."
"Captain, do you want to buy a house?"
"I'm going to buy two rooms. One is for their own use, and the other is for rent. "
" the captain is amazing. "
