"Since winter, have you never frozen to death?"

Yang Shigu asked back in surprise: I just felt it was a bit incredible, and then I became a faint feeling of disapproval.

Because even when he was among the rebels in his early years, he had seen the corresponding situation with his own eyes; in fact, in this sudden cold and warm weather, even under the command of Huang Wang, there were still various examples of frostbite and freezing; not to mention the people under his control, it would be a blessing to be able to die fewer people.

Therefore, in his opinion, this was just for the sake of the Taiping Army's appearance and then a little exaggerated; however, he was also a cunning person who had experienced ups and downs in personnel and would definitely not be serious or question the bottom line.

"Are the real thing... Is it easy to say elsewhere in Jingzhou?"

Chai Erwa, the captain of the teaching team who was accompanying him, responded without hesitation:

"But under the organization and management of our army, this kind of thing is gone. If Mr. Yang has any doubts, the head of the management will also make an explanation. Even if the new and old villages and management areas are seen and asked, please feel free to the teacher. "

"this..."

When Yang Shigu heard this, he was a little moved and sad, but he knew the warmth and coldness as if he was drinking ice in the sky. Then he developed a kind of stubborn and extra-conscious inquiry, wanting to know what made this monk Xu so arrogant and confident, rather than the praising of his subordinates.

"Then let's just point to an earlier place..."

Half a day later, Yang Shigu came to a simple construction site with a light ride. Since the recovery of Jiangling City, engineering projects have been carried out here for several months; the third phase has been implemented.

It seems that the daily scene of helping by step has been going on for a long time, but it is still busy and busy. Yang Shigu did not intend to call the local person in charge to report or show his merits. Instead, he took advantage of the identity convenience provided by Chai Erwa to visit several of the inconspicuous places.

After all, compared to the winter in Canton, organizing labor is not an easy task in this snowy winter day in Jiangling. If there is not enough warmth and food supply guarantee, it is probably a big swath of dead people.

However, in the smoked yellow kitchen shed, he saw the finely rolling porridge soup and roasted melons and potatoes on the fire. Although it was not thick enough to stand up chopsticks, it was not as clear as water and could hang the spoon; stirring hard was also the result of more grain than mixed vegetables.

In the rows of large sheds with solid soil filling in the cave floor, he saw at least thick grass mats and felt bedding, as well as coal stoves for overnight heating and boiling water, neatly arranged personal diets and toiletries;

Although the air is a little dirty and sweaty and smelly, there are not many traces of filth, and it seems that they have been cleaned and cleaned up regularly.

Finally, even the old, weak, sick and disabled who can only do some miscellaneous work seem to be thin but not much weak or tired. Although the broken felt on their bodies is covered with marinated, it is still tightly wrapped. If even their supply can be taken into account, it will be difficult for people to die in this cold winter.

As for the dozen piles of soil and yellow and black wooden signs that died unexpectedly on the hillside, Yang Shigu really had no face to continue to make people dig three feet into the ground.

On the way back, Chai Erwa continued to introduce the follow-up to him.

"He said that the next step is to gradually cancel the local corvee recruitment, and the corresponding servicing money will be discounted according to households and distances."

"What...is this happened..."

Yang Shigu couldn't help but be surprised. As a former scholar from a poor family, he also saw with his own eyes how the clerks used the opportunity to assign corvee labor to slap and eat their mouths of ointment and blood until their families were destroyed.

This may be a great thing for Yumin to recuperate, but Yang Shigu remembered another thing and couldn't help but ask:

"How should all the work and labor matters be handled in the future?"

He was not the kind of person who was too ambitious and easily impressed by temporary benefits; he soon thought of the obvious difference between the Taiping Army and the main rebels. Compared to eating wherever he went, for most of the rebel troops who had extensive control under his rule, the goals he sought were undoubtedly much higher; but the requirements for various farmland water conservancy under his rule, construction and management on river and bridge roads were also extraordinary.

Then he shook his head again, feeling that he was a little too involved in this issue, and he couldn't help but touch the other party's taboo. Just as he was about to speak up and make up for it, he saw Chai Erwa having no time to think about it and responded:

"Of course, let a more professional team do things in these professional fields... If the staff is seriously insufficient, at most, you can raise some tycoons and strong men to make up for it during the slack season. It is much more worry-free than those villagers who have not had enough food for a few days and do not know what discipline and order are...

“…”

At this moment, Yang Shigu was speechless.

"According to the words of the head of the management, this involves cost-effectiveness and final results..."

But Chai Erwa continued to explain to him...

"Directly support and train several relatively capable and professional and versatile engineering construction teams; in terms of specific expenses, they are actually not as good as the blind and extensive grasp of the past levy and labor-intensive labor, and forcibly drive countless people who lack technology and experience out of their homes and bring their own food and utensils, driving them to travel between roads and construction sites, causing huge manpower and household registration losses."

"Not to mention the long-term negative impact and ups and downs caused by potential people's concerns and delays in local farming and personal family livelihoods... In short, continuing to use the old corvee law is caused by bad policies and accumulated problems that are not worth the gains."

"Then why don't you even waive the money for this generation of service?"

As soon as Yang Shigu said this, he felt that he had become Meng Lang and Zhuo Yue again.

"Of course, it is for the long-term consideration of local development. Everything needs to be a transitional process of accepting and adapting to change."

However, Chai Erwa still answered disregardlessly.

"The head of the head said that the sudden and unlucky grace for no reason will be apart from the fleeting momentary gratitude and at a loss, and will only develop a local greedy appetite and a long-term indifference of indulgence in dependence; retaining these servitude money is just one of the means to continue to drive them after eliminating bad policies."

"It is also convenient for most people to understand at all times that there is no unreasonable benefit or relationship in this world; since you have received corresponding convenience and preferential treatment, you must pay something for it so that you can work together to protect and protect all the gains in front of you."

"The Taiping Army never raises useless lazy people, and even disagrees with the ungrateful behavior of holding up a bowl to eat, putting it down and cursing her mother... No matter whether it is noble or lowly, everyone has to pay the price of their own choices and attitudes, and no exceptions are allowed."

"Actually, you don't need to explain these to me,"

Hearing this, Yang Shigu couldn't help but sigh. However, he saw that the other party was seriously polite and bowed.

"The head of the government has specifically explained that Mr. Yang is a rare figure among the rebels who are self-disciplined and who is determined to stay in the world to find a way out. Therefore, you can speak out to him directly. Anyway, there is nothing to be honest with others under the Taiping rule."

Hearing this sentence, Yang Shigu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed; his self-discipline was based on his early closed heart after losing his loved ones in his early years; and even in his attitude towards certain things, he did not have such obvious persistence. At least in terms of some cognition and awareness of the future of the rebel army, he was even worse than that of this Taiping Army's small school.

Then, Yang Shigu once again had a deeper understanding. It was precisely because the opponent's army was united, even this small school had corresponding understanding and determination to make the current career work prosperous.

In contrast, although everyone in the General's Mansion respects the orders of King Huang and acts under the banner of the rebel army, in private, people have their own opinions and plans. So much so that there are so many people who compete to compete for the enemy and the great momentum of defeating the official army again and again, they are still unable to work together to stabilize and expand the situation in a certain place.

Then, he once again developed continuous doubts and wavering about his mission and expectations; at least even if he understood and mastered so much of the internal affairs of the Taiping Army, how many opportunities and spare energy would he have to be able to carry out in the General's Mansion?

Although the General's Mansion also claims to treat the people well and cherish the common people, because of his frequent wars and living in a place of impermanence, there are only some intermittent short-term measures and actions that are implemented intermittently; and even the most common methods of providing grain relief are to attract and gather more pre-war rights and interests to fill trenches.

As for the Taiping Army, he saw the long-term planning and business arrangements for the livelihood of the people for the first time. However, it is an existence that usually cannot be copied and cannot be moved. Unless he can gain more authority and spare no effort in the General's Mansion, he can only open up the situation.

When he thought of this, Yang Shigu was once again filled with some helpless pessimism and loss. At this time, a voice sounded on the side of the road.

"This father-in-law, can you lend you a little bit of ox cart?"

Yang Shigu looked closely and saw a young man with a bruised nose and a little thin dressed with signs of freedom to pull and see through. 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 coming from Sankong Village and planning to go back to Hekouchang..."

The young man with a somewhat angry expression said to the angrily young man.

...........

Raozhou, the main hall where the General's Mansion in Poyang City is located.

In front of Huang Chao with a expressionless face, several newly advanced rebel generals brought in by Huang Rui also shouted with a few pieces of paper:

"This is the purpose of the "Taiping Land and Acres Outline"? What kind of land is returned to the public and rationed on demand, and half of the income is paid... to get food for labor, and those who are diligent get more, and those who are capable get twice as much, reward innovation..., to give medicine, to literacy, and to teach crafts...?"

"It's outrageous. This is what Monk Xu calls a name, and it has been spread to the rule of the General's Mansion."

"It's not just that it has been spread. There are still soldiers below who believe that they are being bewitched and moved. They are already asking and asking if the General's Mansion has such benefits and measures."

"There are also those who have been recruiting people in the local area that the refugees and teams who came to join the country halfway and turned west after hearing this news."
