Kai Fu Han

Chapter 277

On October 22, Liu Xinqi came to the new barracks.

The Jin-Qi coalition forces recently captured by the Xinghan League were all detained in the new barracks. Three or forty people were forced into a barracks that originally housed ten people.But no matter how crowded it is, there is always a place where you can shelter from the wind and rain and lie down and sleep.

These barracks were originally prepared for recruits, and all the bunks were equipped with heated kangs. In the cold winter, these prisoners slept on the warm heated kangs and were "in charge of food and shelter." Some of them were a little happy to miss Shu.

When Liu Xinqi entered the camp, the prisoners were being gathered and divided into four large groups to stand. New recruits from the Xinghan League were guarding the surroundings. Officers from the Ministry of War were preaching to these prisoners the policy of the Xinghan League towards prisoners.

"Han prisoners will be released after one year of labor reform. During this year of labor reform, the Xinghan League will provide you with basic clothing, food, and housing, and give you basic remuneration for your labor.…"

The pay for reform through labor preached is very low. After several adjustments to the monthly salary of workers in the Xinghan League, the minimum standard has now reached [-] catties of food stamps, but the remuneration for labor reform for these prisoners is only [-] catties of food stamps.

"For foreign captives, our Xinghan League will also provide you with basic clothing, food, and shelter, and give you basic remuneration for your labor, but we will not release you back. There is only one way to gain freedom, That’s learning Chinese.”

It was Liu Xinqi's idea to treat prisoners well. After everyone's discussion, implementation, modification, and improvement, it became the policy preached by the officers of the Ministry of War.

The release of Han prisoners back was actually beneficial to the development of the Han Alliance.After these people go back, they will definitely promote various good policies and laws of the Xinghan League near their homes, which is equivalent to doing things for the Xinghan League in disguise.

Even if they are recruited by the puppet Qi or even Zhao again and go to the battlefield in the future, they will still publicize the Xinghan League's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners to Paoze. As long as they know that the Xinghan League treats prisoners preferentially, they will not have the desire to fight to the death. As long as they Failure to fight effectively will result in immediate surrender.

The foreign captives are different. If they are put back, it will not only make the Jin Kingdom better understand the Xinghan Alliance, but also increase the Jin Kingdom's combat power.

"Non-my family, its heart must be different."

After returning, these foreign captives would not all be grateful to the Xinghan League for their preferential treatment of prisoners, so Liu Xinqi basically would not allow the foreigners to go back, but only set a relatively difficult free goal to give them something to look forward to.
This standard is equivalent to the level of third grade primary school students in later generations: being able to speak Chinese fluently, knowing [-] Chinese characters, and being able to write [-] Chinese characters.As long as this standard is met, most of these alien races will be basically assimilated.

Foreign captives who meet the freedom standard will be freed after passing the assessment, but they will not be allowed to return to the Kingdom of Jin, but will be given the status of civilians, and they can choose how to survive in the Xinghan League.

Except for those who hold titles, all the people in the Xinghan League are citizens and are divided into three classes: citizens, commoners, and criminals.

Citizens enjoy the rights of all Xinghan League policies.Civilians are somewhat restricted, and criminals are the most restricted.

Now these captured Jin-Qi coalition soldiers are all criminals. "The labor camps will open night schools, and there are no restrictions on all criminals. As long as you have completed your work, you can choose to come or not. The night schools will conduct regular assessments, and you will obtain certain levels of rights if you pass a certain level of assessment. ."

"For example, if Han people pass the basic literacy test (the level of third grade primary school in later generations), their monthly salary will be increased by [-] kilograms of food stamps; their living environment will be improved; they will be given one day off every month and can rest in the camp; You can write a letter to your family every month.…”

Han criminals who have not passed the literacy test can only write a letter to their families every quarter. These people need to arrange for Xinghan League to have people who can write write for them. Too frequent letters will greatly increase labor costs.

Liu Xinqi stood in the school grounds, listening to the officers from the Ministry of War clearly explaining the Xinghan League's prisoner policy. It was obvious that these people had a lot of experience in preaching, and they would repeat and emphasize every important point.

"Han citizens who pass the basic compulsory education level assessment will have their labor reform period reduced by half a year, and will be eligible for commutation of their sentence for meritorious service, and will be freed in advance. …"

Those who can pass the basic compulsory education level assessment have already passed the current recruitment assessment of Xinghan League. At this stage, they belong to the category of "talent". These people will have ideological work done by the managers in the labor camp to persuade them. Join Xinghan League and work for Xinghan League.

Either stay in the Xinghan League, or return to your hometown as a latent chess piece.

“If foreigners pass the basic compulsory education level assessment, they will be qualified to participate in the Xinghan League’s official recruitment examination and be qualified to join the Xinghan League’s army.…”

The basic compulsory education level is to speak Chinese fluently, know [-] Chinese characters, write [-] Chinese characters, and basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.If you reach this level, you are considered a foreign race, and its ideology is basically the same as that of the Han people.

Learning Chinese characters does not mean learning character by character. It must be learned from situations, articles, allusions, and classics and history. Therefore, if you learn [-] Chinese characters, you will have a basic understanding of the Chinese nation.

In order to prevent foreigners from entering key departments or high-level positions in the early stage, Liu Xinqi made special regulations: allowing foreigners to participate in the recruitment of officials and the army. This does not mean that they can enter all departments of the Xinghan League. There will be special restrictions when recruiting officials and soldiers. Regarding race, only special departments such as Listening, Military Intelligence, Rites, and Horse Administration will recruit foreign races. The cavalry instructors, archery instructors, foreign language instructors, and cavalry battalions in the army will also recruit foreign races at a low proportion as appropriate.

"The last thing I want to emphasize to everyone is that you must not think about escaping. I tell you the truth, even if I give you a horse and let you escape on horseback, you will not be able to outrun the Xinghan League's immortal soldiers and generals who are chasing you on foot. Don't worry By luck, since the establishment of the Xinghan League, the number of enemy soldiers captured has exceeded 1, but so far, there has been no case of successful escape."

"Anyone who wants to escape and is caught will have his labor camp time doubled and his freedom standard raised by one level."

"For example, if a Han citizen escapes and is caught once, the period of labor reform will be increased to two years, twice to four years, and three times to eight years, and so on. If he escapes five times and is caught, it can basically be determined that this person will live for the rest of his life. They will all have to spend time in a labor camp.”

"If a foreigner escapes and is captured once, the freedom standard will be upgraded to the basic compulsory education level, and twice to the middle school education level. It is particularly important to remind that the night schools in the labor camp only provide education at the basic compulsory education level. If he escapes for the second time, he will be If he is captured, this foreigner will basically be sure to spend his whole life in a labor camp."
