Chapter 87

Xu Zhong thought for a while and said, "Although Instigator Yao is more flattering, he is doing his best. So many houses can only be repaired thanks to Instigator Yao urging them to rush to work."

Li Buqi said: "It's just that I think Commander Yao is a little mean to his Xiang army."

Xu Zhong didn't take it seriously: "Most Xiang armies in the world are like this. Commander Yao just has a bigger temper."

Li Buqi didn't say anything about it, but asked, "What kind of things does Yao instigate always seem to arrange for that Dutou named Zheng He?"

Xu Zhong said: "Yes. If you have good eyesight, you can see it as soon as you come. This Zheng He seems to be very popular in this command, and he has a way, so Yao ordered everything to be ordered. He does."

Li Buqi nodded and stood up and said, "Then you follow me to see the situation of the Xiang army. We will mainly rely on them to do the work in the future."

On the way, Li Buqi asked, "What was Jiyi doing before?"

Xu Zhong said: "Before I became an official, I was doing housework in the shop."

"Oh, then Jiyi should be very experienced. I don't know how Jiyi thinks that these people in the testing ground can make more money for the officials?"

Xu Zhong thought about it for a while, then said: "Naturally, we should strictly control them and not let them be lazy."

Li Buqi shook his head: "We only have a few people, how can we watch hundreds of people? Even if you watch ten or a hundred, what if the other hundreds of people are lazy when you can't see them? Besides, there are many of them, as long as If one person comes up with a solution, even the exhausted will be unable to deal with it.”

Xu Zhong asked: "Then is there a way to lift?"

Li Buqi said: "The best way is to let the workers feel that working hard is good for them. Then they will regard the work as their own business and will not be lazy."

"Then how do you get them to do the work assigned to them as their own?"

Li Buqi pointed to those Xiang Jun who were carrying wine steaming tools and said, "We must let them do this work to get real benefits. For example, if the officials eat meat, they must also have some soup."

Xu Zhong is in charge of others, it's not that he doesn't understand this truth, isn't it that the interests are equal, but no one has ever said it so clearly like Li Buqi.Hearing this sentence, Xu Zhong understood, but he didn't take it seriously: "Tiju's words make sense, but these Xiang soldiers are used to being lazy, and they will be a little more diligent only if they put copper coins in front of their eyes."

Li Buqi was a small boss before crossing, and he thinks he has a good understanding of the psychology of these people.He said confidently: "Seeing the money and knowing to be diligent means that they still hope to live a good life. It's just that they need a clear prospect. If they work hard but may not get rewarded, they will naturally muddle through. Before Shang Yang's reform Just set up a log outside the city gate, and someone carried it to another city gate and immediately rewarded a sum of money, just to convince the people that he meant what he said. I mean what I say, but it is impossible for the few of us to personally give these people one by one Even if I promise these Xiang soldiers that they will get more for their hard work, they still have to worry that the money and food will not reach them.”

Xu Zhong asked: "Is the promotion meant to be directed by Yao?"

Li Buqi said: "There needs to be a communication channel between us and these Xiang troops that they can trust."

Xu Zhong thought for a while and said: "Tiju is right. I heard that Xiangjun's change of command is a one-sentence matter. Moreover, this Xiangjun is running for Da Nei, as long as Zhang Duzhi nods. It's just that Who is Tiju going to let take charge of this Xiang army?"

With this sentence, Yao Fu's whereabouts will be decided. Li Buqi said: "There are hundreds of people in this Xiang army, and there will always be one or two that they trust and can do things. Let them choose one by themselves."

Xu Zhong was so surprised that his mouth grew wide: "The method of promoting is really novel. But if they are allowed to choose their own leader, it is not easy to suppress if there is trouble."

Li Buqi snorted coldly: "If you give them a chance to live a good life and make trouble, then no one else will go there. The Xiang army also has military regulations! Besides, there are more than 600 recruits over there. No problem."

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Zhaoming and Ge Shengwen, and the three quickly expressed their determination: "Don't worry about lifting, I will definitely step up training, and there will be no delay."

Seeing that Li Buqi was indeed a master of killing and decisiveness as Zhang Yonghe said, Xu Zhong didn't say anything else.Anyway, Zhang Yonghe explained that as long as Li Buqi does not make any outrageous incidents, he should not interfere with Li Buqi. Besides, he also wants to make the testing ground well, which is also a great contribution to him.So Xu Zhong stopped talking.

The Xiang army all brought their families, and now the men are all working in the newly built winery. There are only some old, young, women and children left in the place where they live. When they saw Li Buqi approaching, they all hid in fear. In the low adobe house, piles of unpicked wild vegetables were left at the door, and only a few old men stood under the eaves with their hands down, nervously watching a group of nobles approaching.

Li Buqi walked to the door of a house, glanced at the wild vegetables in the basket, and called an old man: "Old man, can I get the money and food for these few months?"

The old man quickly nodded and bowed his head and replied: "I have taken it all, I have taken it all."

Li Buqi asked again: "But you got the full amount?"

After asking this question, the old man's face turned bitter, but seeing Xu Zhong present, he dared not speak.What a shrewd person Xu Zhong was, he immediately saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly dismissed it: "The money and rations of your Xiang army were brought and distributed by Yao's envoys, and it has nothing to do with me. Just speak boldly. This is Li Tiju, If you have any grievances, just speak out, and Li Tiju will make the decision for you."

Li Buqi said again: "You all have to listen to my arrangements for work in the future. As the saying goes, the emperor is not enough to send out hungry soldiers. Naturally, I want to know whether you are full and how much work you can do."

Li Buqi put himself completely in the position of a landlord and a capitalist, but the old man believed it, and said with some worry and expectation: "We can only get [-]% of the monthly income. This is still paid by Zheng Dutou." Everyone is fighting. Ask the officials to give Yao instructions, and then give us an extra [-]%."

"Zheng Dutou? Zheng He?"

"Exactly."

"I think Commander Yao thinks highly of Zheng Dutou, and arranges for him to do anything."

Speaking of Zheng He, the old man immediately became talkative: "Zheng Dutou is a good hand at work, and he also knows how to be considerate of others. With him leading everyone, the same work saves labor and effort, and we are better than other commanders." Do better."

Zhang Yonghe once promised Li Buqi that he would transfer the best Xiang army to the test site. It seems that this command was selected because there are capable people in it.

Li Buqi asked the old man about the actual number of the Xiang army and some other information, then left, walked around in circles and walked to the new alcohol workshop.Now the Xiang army has moved all the things from the carriage, and is building and cleaning the stove under Mao Xiaoyi's command.

Commander Yao probably wanted to show that he was serious about his work, so he personally led several capitals to supervise the work in the workshop.And their method of supervising work is to keep yelling with leather whips and wooden sticks, and whip them up and down when they see who is not pleasing to the eye. From Li Buqi's point of view, they are just adding to the chaos.

What about Zheng He?I didn't see Zheng He.When we walked to the empty space behind the yard, we saw Zheng He directing some people to spread food and wash utensils.Unlike the other army chiefs, Zheng He didn't yell too much, he just assigned tasks, then checked the execution status, and gave a few hints when he saw any gaps in the work.And those Xiang soldiers also listened to him very much.

Now Li Buqi felt relieved.Someone is in charge of these Xiangjun.
