The Swordsman of Faerûn

Question: How to turn a group of improvised mobs into a united and effective team?

Answer: Take them to complete a great feat that is arduous, unique and of great sense of accomplishment.Including but not limited to various hiking treks, grand works, architectural wonders and more.

Question: How to rescue a group of refugees who lack food and clothing and have low morale?
Answer: Give them a job, and then pay them full salary, that is, work instead of relief.

There is a saying that "Things that are too easy to get are not cherished", and sometimes saving people is also true.

If you want to provide humanitarian assistance to a group of people in need, directly giving food and goods to the other party is always the worst way. The best way is to find a long-term and reliable livelihood for the other party.This is the social law that our ancestors have explored through countless practices over thousands of years. It can be summed up in one sentence: it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.

The group of people under William is just a group of lost people who urgently need to be rescued, refugees whose homes were destroyed by the flood, refugees who were plundered by the slave team, homeless wanderers, and just now. Former slaves rescued from the dark underworld.

If William gave them food and bread directly, raising them for nothing would not only be detrimental to their rebirth, but would also trigger a series of conflicting events because of indiscriminate relief.Our ancestors invented many words to describe these problems, such as Baiyanlang, Shengmien, Doumichou, etc. This is the human heart.

William is not stupid, and he also has ready-made templates and cases that can be copied. In his youth in his last life, he learned a lot of knowledge that seemed useless at the time, but it seems to be very useful now, and he has also seen many practical operations. .

Therefore, recruiting refugees and carrying out infrastructure projects have become the top priority for William.

The first step in doing this job is to establish prestige first, so that those who need relief and reform believe him and are willing to follow him wholeheartedly.

And there is nothing in the world that can calm people's hearts more than food.

Anyone who has the strength to do so is mobilized to carry grain in Quangu.People waded through the water and moved the oats off the magic ship with great enthusiasm, and then transported them to a dry place for storage.

How big is a thousand tons of grain? If it is packed in [-]-jin cloth bags, one ton can hold [-] bags, and [-] tons is [-] bags. A truck with a load of [-] tons needs a full [-].

The migration team of hundreds of people took a whole day and night to move all the food out of the spring valley.Of course, this is mainly because the transportation conditions are too poor and the manpower cannot be fully utilized, which has caused the low handling efficiency.

The reason why the fire dragons don't have this kind of trouble is because they are all strong men comparable to giants, and they can sprint, glide and leap for short distances.

Establishing labor camps and planning the progress of infrastructure projects all require sufficient manpower for deployment. Of course, all of this does not require William to do it himself, although he may do it better than anyone else in person.But if you want to cultivate a team with strong vitality, it is definitely not something that can be done by someone. Zhuge Wuhou definitely has something to say about this.

What William needs to do is to formulate rules, set up a reward and punishment mechanism, and then deploy tasks and arrange people to execute them.William is not afraid of his subordinates making mistakes, he will correct them if they make mistakes, and punish them if they commit crimes. There is nothing to say.The rewards and punishments are generous and transparent, and harsh punishments and laws are not imposed indiscriminately, which has always been the most efficient state.

——The members of the elite team who were originally regarded as the main combat team have all become like contractors this time. They are responsible for accepting orders from William and then issuing them to the assigned workers.The so-called workers' team is a working group composed of former slaves. This time, regardless of strength, virtuous or foolish, all men, women, young and old have become laborers working for cooking.

The reason why even the child arranged work was not because William was really black-hearted. He naturally knew that the child was the real power that represented the future, but William had to do so.These children freed from slavery are excluded from the entire former slave group, which is different from the refugee children in Falls Town.

The children in Falls Town basically have a clear origin. No matter whether the parents of those children are alive or their parents are dead, they are the descendants of their own people to the people of Falls Town. But at least they will not deliberately ignore and bully them.

But those who have just been liberated from slavery are different. A few of them may still retain a kind heart, but most of them have become full of hostility because of the environment and the oppression they experienced. He is absolutely not afraid to use bullying to satisfy his twisted heart.

May I ask who in the whole crowd is weaker and easier to bully than a group of children? !

In fact, from the first day of leaving the town of Dusk, there have been several incidents of adults bullying and robbing children of food in the migration team.At that time, William mercilessly killed the leading perpetrators on the spot, divided those perpetrators into a team, and sent strong personnel to strictly manage them.

However, this cannot fundamentally prevent the continuous occurrence of such incidents. Not only are the later perpetrators not taught by their predecessors, but even those children sometimes cooperate to conceal the truth.

This kind of angry but almost unsolvable question once made William quite annoyed.But he soon understood the reason. Of course, it wasn't what William had figured out, but that he had two capable little spies.

The cat people have a unique ability to make children open their hearts. They listened to the children's voices and then told William.It turns out that everything is caused by the insecure hearts of the children. Children's hearts are the most sensitive. They know that they are the least practical existence among the slave group, and they are also the most cumbersome group of people in the migration team.

Because they can't do work, can't create wealth, but will only drag others down.In their view, the preferential treatment they are receiving now is just the whim of a kind lord. Such a big man will never pay attention to little people like them who are not even as good as puppies forever.

From the perspective of children whose hearts are almost distorted, being able to be bullied is also a kind of value to them.

When William knew what these children really thought, he was really angry.The damn world!This damn world!Although William knew a lot of tragedies, including seeing a hell on earth once in Calimport, he never thought about whose fault these children lived in such a humble way!

William wished he could set the world on fire and purify all the ugliness in the world. Of course, this can only be regarded as an angry fantasy.

However, after knowing the truth of the matter, William was able to deal with it in a targeted manner. By assigning some work within his ability, he made those children who were in a state of anxiety feel needed for the first time.

This feeling is so wonderful that those children even dare to resist the oppression of those psychologically twisted adults.For this welcome change, William did not personally intervene, but secretly arranged for a more suitable candidate——the true heroine of violence and peace—Misha.

Misha'er, who appeared in time, gave the bully who was angry and wanted to commit a crime a lesson, and drove them into the punishment camp as punishment. The little girl took advantage of the opportunity to become the leader of the children's team. She will be responsible for Manage all the kids in the camp.

The correctional camp is a reform-through-labor team specially set up by William to punish those who don’t obey the rules. People who enter the correctional camp have to go to the earliest work every day, do the heaviest and hardest work, and have to be the last to eat every time. They are regarded as cattle. Treating a horse like a donkey means not being treated like a human being.

The only preferential treatment for these punished people is that they are not treated harshly in terms of food, and they can eat as much as they want. Of course, other normal working people also enjoy this benefit.

William arranged the most cruel and ruthless supervisors for the punishment camp. Those who are disobedient and unwilling to work will be honest after eating two meals.Lazy and slippery as a thorn, he whipped him hard with a whip, poured a bottle of holy water with a certain healing effect after the whip, and immediately became a resounding hero again.

So within a few days, everyone who entered the punishment camp became honest and obedient.Of course, they hardly have the energy and thought to do things. The food intake of the people in the punishment camp is almost double or even three times that of the ordinary engineering team. You can sleep soundly when you put down your rice bowl and turn your head down.

As long as they are honest and obedient and willing to work hard, William will never treat them harshly in terms of food and treatment. Wheat rice is definitely enough. Pickles, a meal that William "invented", have won unanimous praise from all workers.Teams that perform well are occasionally rewarded with a meal of stew.

This kind of collective labor with rewards and punishments and fair use of things quickly got on the right track after a few days of running-in.Even if William lets go temporarily, the team can still operate automatically. Although some minor problems are inevitable, it does not affect its gradually blooming vitality.

This infrastructure movement is also a real screening test for the managers and elite teams under William. Who are suitable for management and who can only be the big guns wielding knives? All can be displayed.

As the saying goes, useful talents stand out, and useless silt sinks into subordinates, just like this example.

Of course, some decent talents gradually emerged among the former slaves, and some of them were even promoted to management positions by William, becoming "superior people" who could sit on the same level as members of the elite team. For the former slaves struggling in the "sea of ​​bitterness" (the sea of ​​bitterness here refers to the denial of self in people's hearts, which is very similar to inferiority complex), it is simply a great encouragement and provocation, and they even inspire more fanatical fighting spirit than any other rewards So much so that William had to secretly arrange for someone to cool down these guys with overheated brains.

For example, formulating regulations on regular working hours and overtime restrictions, and then dispatching special personnel to carry out regulatory supervision, but this does not dispel the enthusiasm of people who burst out with enthusiasm. They even regard this as a suppression by some jealous guys, and then give full play to their own Subjective initiative, racking one's brains to fight against regulators.

Regarding the uncooperative behavior of the laborers, William adopted an attitude of not encouraging or suppressing, but for some people who performed extremely well, he still promoted them without a salary increase. This is clearly conniving!
Therefore, in order to suppress the more and more excessive laborers, William had to take refuge for a while and left the labor camp in a fair manner.

With William's departure, the overheated atmosphere in the entire infrastructure camp was stagnant. Of course, this also coincided with the announcement by the interim custodian, Sophie Manassou, that without the presence of the lord, no one is qualified to promote new people to become interim managers. related to people.

As a result, the working enthusiasm of the laborers has dropped suddenly, and many people even have a tendency to lie down arbitrarily.But how can an ordinary little person fight against a cunning devil, and the joyful devil is a real master at playing tricks on people's hearts.

When the vast majority of people have lost their enthusiasm for work, there are also a few people who still work hard and work hard without changing their original intentions.These down-to-earth people were quickly rewarded verbally by Ms. Sophie, and then notified to the nominal supreme leader of the camp—the lord's wife, Phinea.

Feniya acted as the lord's power and gave the honorees the same promotion without salary increase, which made countless "smart people" regret their intestines green.They really wanted to express themselves in front of the lord's wife again, but Phineya was only interested in hunting, and she didn't even bother to look at the daily chores of the camp.

However, after William left the infrastructure camp, he returned to Dagger Falls with a few entourages.Since the reconstruction of Falls Town, refugees and refugees from all over the place have flocked here almost continuously. When William returned, he found that hundreds of homeless people had gathered outside Falls Town.

These refugees made the surrounding area of ​​Falls Town a mess, and even a lot of petty thefts occurred in the city. If this continues, more and worse crimes will inevitably follow.

In this regard, William is extremely dissatisfied with the current administrator of Falls Town, Gilmore Dulind, and other town officials, because they have behaved very substandardly.

However, the generals among the dwarves, these officials who are considered mediocre to William, are considered to be relatively outstanding elites among the entire Waterfall townspeople. William has no choice but to train and practice them more.

Of course, it’s not that there are no outstanding performers. The former clerk Levi is one of the more outstanding ones. It is precisely because of his proposal to send more patrolling security teams that the city does not become more chaotic, and at the same time, people’s hearts are stabilized.

William dealt with the refugees stranded outside the city in one meal.

He summoned all the refugees, and then publicly announced in the name of the lord: Those who are willing to obey the lord's arrangement and work for him, he will provide them with food, shelter and even land for them to settle and establish a business in his territory.Those who are unwilling to obey the arrangement will be immediately deported.

In order to show everyone the effectiveness of his words, William released a ship in a bottle, claiming that this magical ship was the means of transportation to forcefully escort the deportees to the mouth of the Tessa River.

At such a time, no one would foolishly confront the local lord.Almost everyone obeyed William's dispatch, and they will be filled into the infrastructure camp and become part of the labor force.

However, a sore refugee rejected William's arrangement, and she even claimed that she had important letters to deliver to him.

William was a little puzzled about this unknown guy, but he still arranged for someone to fill the poor woman with two bottles of concentrated holy water, and then saw countless black smoke coming out of this refugee's rotten sores.

As an assistant, Cheval Starcloak told William that this person was cursed by evil magic. Although the holy water would help her lift the curse, an overly violent reaction might kill her.

William did not hesitate to bless this poor woman with a flame full of vitality, allowing her to survive.
