Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 458 Work hard to reform through labor, tomorrow will be better (one more)
Today's food delivery team soon entered the prisoner-of-war camp.

But apart from the cooks and helpers who delivered the meals, there was another team.

On this open space, a very eye-catching banner was erected.

The above content is also very simple, that is, twelve big characters: work hard to reform through labor, and tomorrow will be better.

Then, in front of the eye-catching banner, there were more than ten desks.

There will be a person sitting behind each table with a booklet in his hand, and there are still pens and ink on the table.

"???" A group of prisoners carried a broken bowl in their hands, and all the prisoners who were waiting to receive their food looked at the twelve large characters in confusion.

Benefiting from the deep cultural context of the Jiangnan region, the literacy rate has been greatly improved. Among the [-] prisoners of war, almost [-]% are literate.

It has been passed down by word of mouth, and almost everyone knows these twelve big characters, but these twelve big characters appear in this prisoner-of-war camp, what do you want to do?
Soon, someone picked up the loudspeaker and yelled loudly, asking the top ten prisoners of war (each with hundreds of people) to come and report first.

After the report is completed, every person who comes down for lunch today will get [-] taels of meat. This kind of reward mode instantly cheers up these prisoners of war.

"Name."

"Liu Laoqi."

"how old are you?"

"Twenty, the villain is not married yet."

"Don't answer nonsense, I ask you what you answer.

Do you have any specialties, such as farming, or blacksmithing, or what? "

"Officer, the villain has been working for the boss before, ah no... cleaning the Zhu thief's mansion."

"Will you drop something when cleaning?"

"How dare, if the villain dares to drop something belonging to the master, he will not be beaten to death..."

"Well, I see, you are a mechanic."

"Ji Gong? What is that?"

"It means technical work. Get out of the way, next one."

The bewildered prisoner of war carried the broken bowl and began to ask the people next to him. Fortunately, at this time, another big announcement was posted.

These prisoners of war leaned forward, only to notice that the bulletin board was written in great detail.

These prisoners of war were originally going to be exiled or imprisoned.

However, considering that most of them were accomplices who were forced to collude with others, Gao Zhang, the envoy of the benevolent Xuanfu system, decided to deal with them leniently.

#####
But since they made a mistake, they should pay for their mistakes. To put it simply, let them use their labor in exchange for freedom.

In order to meet the labor reform needs of nearly [-] prisoners of war, it is now planned to build a huge factory in a place near the river in the suburbs of Suzhou.

This factory will become the largest weaving factory in Suzhou area and a series of related factories, such as clothing, shoes and so on.

And these prisoners of war will become the construction factory and the main force of the work after the factory is completed.

Of course, reform through labor does not mean that you are allowed to work for the court for nothing, of course you are paid.

And this salary will be paid by Suzhou No. [-] Weaving Factory, a subsidiary of Kaifeng Metal Workshop.

It's just that the salary is only half of that of a normal laborer. After all, everything you eat, drink, sleep, and everything needs to be borne by the court.

After five years of your labor reform, you can freely return to society.

Of course, if you become a technical expert, or if you are willing to continue to sweat your sweat in the factory.

At that time, your labor wages will return to normal, and you will receive the same treatment as those craftsmen in Suzhou City.

You can even sign a long-term employment contract and have a stable iron rice bowl.

Of course, this is just to give you the right to choose. If you are not willing to reform through labor, then there is no problem.

When the time comes, you will be held in another prisoner-of-war camp, waiting to be stabbed and exiled to the border.

As for whether you are going to be soldiers and work for the court, or go to the local area for free and less coolies to work hard to build city defenses and build camps, it depends on your own luck.

"Can there be such a good thing?" The expression of the prisoner of war standing in front of the announcement with an empty bowl in his hand can be described as overjoyed.

After all, these days, that Tan Xuanfu was beheading every day outside the city of Suzhou, and their prisoner-of-war camp was not far from there.

That bloody scene still left them with lingering fears, and everyone felt that their future destiny was even if they did not die.

Maybe he will also be dragged away to get tattooed on his face and exiled into the army.

But it never occurred to him that this child prodigy number one scholar is really kind-hearted, and he would be able to give such an opportunity.

Not to mention giving money, even if not giving money, everyone is happy.

After all, no one wants to leave their homeland with tattoos on their faces. If they die in a foreign land, no one will help you retrieve the bones.

And even if your distribution is over, you will still be alive when you return to your hometown.

Perhaps your child may be the child of the old king next door, or even your bride may have become the bride of the old king next door.

#####
While eating, the eyes of the prisoners who finally understood what reform through labor is all about, and some even approached to inquire about the authenticity before they even finished their meal.

Those officials who were in charge of recruiting prisoners of war for labor reform were naturally happy to do the job for a day.

Be patient and explain to these prisoners of war who are unwilling to leave their hometown and are willing to stay and work here.

Among the nearly [-] prisoners of war, none of them stood up and said that I want to come up with a new style. The world is so big, and I just want to go for a walk.

All of them held their heads up neatly and said that reform through labor is very suitable for us.

We are willing to dedicate our youth and sweat to build our hometown, build Suzhou, improve the level of light industry in Suzhou, and build a strong coastal light industry state in the Song Dynasty.

Compared with the joy in the prisoner-of-war camp outside the city, at this moment, the leader of the bandits, Zhu Xi, is leading more than a dozen confidant dead soldiers through the field ten miles south of Weitang Field in an extremely embarrassed state.

At this moment, the shining iron armor on Zhu Man's body was about to be broken into pieces, and most of the dozen or so confidants who died behind him were injured.

Just now, at the Weitang field, I encountered a group of officers and soldiers, after a brief but intense conflict.

It was with great difficulty that Zhu Xi and his party got rid of the pursuers and escaped.

The desire to survive is like chicken blood injected into their bodies, making them persevere and move forward.

Everyone, including Zhu Xi, the great king of Wu, could only eat dry food and continue to move forward with the mounts under him.

"Your Majesty, if we go forward for about a day or two, we will arrive at the Nashayao Salt Field."

"Don't call me the king anymore, you and my brother, it's about this time, you don't have to be so born, brothers, you can live and die with me, Zhu."

"On the day when Zhu turns over, he will surely be blessed with all the brothers."

To greet Zhu Qian's promise, there were only a few sparse and feeble echoes.
