But to be honest, if it was Wei Xian's identity, it would be really difficult for the other party to say anything too ugly.

It turned out that just a few days ago, the construction site corresponding to the Lujiang Great Library officially started, and Zhang Yan also attended the ceremony, and explained the purpose of the big library at the ceremony, and encouraged those who participated in the big library The craftsmen working on the construction of the museum worked hard and obeyed Wei Xian's command in everything, so as not to make any mistakes in the work.

As for those low-status Shanyue slaves, Zhang Yan did not forget to comfort and encourage them, and promised them that as long as they worked hard, he would not embarrass them. A chance to be released from slavery, to give them a chance to be human again.

After such words, many Shanyue reform-through-labour prisoners who were originally terrified and frightened by the large number of beheaded death row prisoners outside were relieved a lot.

After all, no matter who encountered this situation, seeing that those who surrendered with him would be dragged out and beheaded every day, his heart would definitely not be at peace.

But after that day, after these people entered the right jobs, they felt a little more comfortable.

But, this person, once he becomes comfortable, it is inevitable that the old problems from before will gradually begin to show signs.

Chapter 22 Human nature does not change

These so-called people are, after all, somewhat inferior.

Whether you call it laziness or laziness, in a word, when your situation is a little more stable, the old problems of these reform-through-labour prisoners gradually manifested.

No, not long after, Wei Xian began to complain to himself about the situation of these people, saying that stealing, raping, and playing tricks were very serious, and it was nothing like when he was in Luoyang. match.

……

"Hey, my lord, you don't know something. These guys are simply a perfect interpretation of what is a standard lazy character."

"It's only been a few days. As long as the craftsmen are not watching, these Shanyue will start to find various reasons for themselves to hang out, or go directly to places where there are few people to take a nap."

"The most hateful thing is that these people will often cover each other and give false testimony for each other. They either have headaches or feel unwell all day long, but when they return to the resting place, they immediately look alive again."

"Now almost ten days have passed, and a foundation covering an area of ​​more than ten acres has not been finished. If the original sundial is built at this speed, I am afraid that when the emperor of Han is gone, the birthday gifts will be all gone." It may not be possible to fix it!"

Some complained to Zhang Yan speechlessly, Wei Xian also felt that there was nothing he could do about the lazy behavior of his subordinates.

After all, although these people have been demoted to slave status, in Lujiang, under Zhang Yan's hands, even the slave's food cannot be deducted without reason.

Coupled with the fact that there are too many of these people, it is difficult to manage these craftsmen under one's own hands, which has formed the current embarrassing situation where everyone works without effort.

"Well, don't you work hard?"

"Is there anyone else who simply says they're sick and don't go to work?"

Hearing Wei Xian's complaints, Zhang Yan also slightly lowered his head and pondered for a while.

Just from Wei Xian's tone of voice just now, he could feel that the current situation of laziness seems to have become very serious among those mountains.

Then, after weighing the gains and losses in all aspects, Zhang Yan then told Wei Xian:

"Okay, I see. If that's the case, then I'll give you a few suggestions. You can try it. If it doesn't work, you can come to me again."

……

"First of all, we can try to implement a grading system in the management of these people, that is, the daily work is fixed and quantified, and those who do not complete will be deducted points, while those who over-fulfill will be awarded points."

"Afterwards, in the first two days of every ten days, the scores of these people will be comprehensively evaluated to give a different grade. There will be some differences in the food ration, rest time and other treatment of prisoners of different grades, and the higher the evaluation will be given. The better, and the living environment can be adjusted appropriately.”

"All in all, just don't let them eat the big pot anymore."

"In addition, you can consider using this 'workpoint' as a currency, so that they can exchange their excess workpoints for tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, or similar luxury rights once a month. You can do it as you see fit. .”

After roughly sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Yan told Wei Xian all these things, and asked him to discuss with the people under his command and decide on his own, without needing to report to himself.

At the same time, he also informed Wei Xian of the plan for appropriate commutation of sentences based on scores and evaluations.

Although judging from the current situation, one of these prisoners counts as one, and all of them are properly indefinitely, and it won't take too long. As long as one or two people can perform well and get their sentences reduced first, then the role of example will soon disappear. will spread.

There is one thing to say, these are some management methods for prisoners in later generations of prisons. After more than 2000 years of screening, they are still confirmed to be effective.

"As for the lack of management personnel you said..."

Subconsciously tapping the table twice with his fingers, Zhang Yan suggested to Wei Xian:

"As for your lack of manpower, you can group those prisoners into groups, and then select outstanding performers to recruit them in, and let them manage themselves."

"Although it seems that they will be colluding, after the actual implementation, you will find that when these prisoners have a class, they will quickly fight among themselves, which will relieve us a lot of management pressure."

"Oh, by the way, if these people are still disobedient, you can go to Xu Huang..."

"No, let's go to Kuai Qi. It is more appropriate for the Secretary of Public Security to come forward."

After telling the other party all his thoughts, Zhang Yan felt that if there was no improvement in this way, then it might not be a very rational or correct decision for him to choose prisoners as productivity.

"I'll give you a letter later, and you can take this letter to Kuai Qi, and tell him that I asked him to set up a special department in the Public Security Department of Wancheng, which will be used to guard and discipline those things. Prisoners can be set up according to the court prison of the great man."

"After the Public Security Bureau in Wancheng has tried it, we will further replicate this change to other cities in Lujiang."

"As for the progress, Wei Xian, you don't have to worry. It's only late August and September. As long as the library can be completed before winter this year, it won't be too late for us."

Smiling and patted the other party's shoulder to comfort, Zhang Yan may be because of his own height advantage, or because he is older than most of his subordinates, so he is comforting or encouraging his subordinates. Sometimes, I like to pat each other on the shoulder more and more to show my intimacy.

When Wei Xian heard this, his complexion also became a little better.Then he cupped his hands towards Zhang Yan, and after a word of reply, he turned and left.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. Then I will discuss with Xiang Guoxiang and see how we can stop these guys from being so lazy."

"As for the progress...my lord, please wait for me a little longer. I think I can announce the official completion of this library in the golden autumn of this year."

Wei Xian simply turned around and left, his every move was filled with the reality of ordinary people.

As for Zhang Yan, he was naturally stunned for a moment looking at the distant figure of the other party, and then grinned a little dullly, and laughed softly.

……

"Hey, I hope so, but Wei Xian, you haven't understood that human nature will not change, only the habit of being a human being can change."

"Laziness is a kind of nature. You have no way to make a lazy person stop being lazy. You can only make a lazy person active willingly through coercion or temptation."

"With a big stick in his left hand and a sweet date in his other hand, those guys feel both fearful and eager. This is the most reasonable way to use these people."

Chapter 23 October

Time passed quickly amid such busyness, and the summer in Lujiang ended like this.

Immediately after the end of summer, the golden autumn is full of rice fragrance.

Lujiang Wancheng, October.

……

"Master? Master, wake up."

"It's already midnight, and you still have an appointment with Mr. Ma and the others. It's time to go."

A soft and soft voice sounded in Zhang Yan's ears, he felt his head was a little dazed, he was surrounded by a faint fragrance in a trance, and he couldn't help becoming a little confused for a while.

As the saying goes, spring is sleepy, autumn is exhausting and summer is sleepy. When the time gradually came to October and the weather gradually turned cold, Zhang Yan obviously felt that he was much more tired than in summer.

It is precisely because of this that during this time, when he is free at noon every day, he almost always takes a nap in the side room of the official office.

Rubbing his eyes in a daze, Zhang Yan felt a pair of small hands grabbing his palm before Zhang Yan's eyes focused, and the familiar feeling gradually made him feel at ease.

"Hmm... Ye'er?"

His eyes gradually focused, and Zhang Yan also opened his somewhat sore eyes, and saw the girl looking down at him with a smile on her face.

After arching his body a little, Zhang Yan put his head in the middle of the opponent's leg socket, and changed into a comfortable position, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

"Ye'er, um... good afternoon."

……

"Master, good afternoon."

Smiling lightly, she lifted the other party up from her lap, Ye'er combed the other party's somewhat messy hair, smoothed out the folds of the clothes, and then got up and picked up some things on her body.

As for Zhang Yan, he closed his eyes and smirked and let the other party do what he did. After both of them had finished dressing up, he hugged each other hard, sniffed Ye'er's neck, and turned around and walked out with the other party satisfied. out the door.

"Okay, get ready to go."

"The weather isn't too bad today, and it's not far from the Technology Division's residence. We can just walk there, there's no need to prepare a car."

Leading the other party's hand out of the official office, Zhang Yan first stretched his waist until his whole body was crackling, then turned around with a smile, and whispered instructions to Ye'er beside him.

But Ye'er's face was slightly red, and without saying anything, she lowered her head and followed behind Zhang Yan, looking obedient and obedient.

After the two of them walked out of the alley and came to the street, Zhang Yan's hand that had been tightly clenched was slightly loosened under the struggle of the other party.

As time gradually came to autumn, most of the vegetation in Wancheng was no longer as lush as before, but inevitably tainted with a dilapidated smell.

Walking on the street with the other party, Zhang Yan looked at the passers-by and the decaying vegetation, feeling a little emotional for a moment.

But soon, he stopped thinking about what was there and what was missing, and walked towards the location of the Technology Division not far away with big strides.

The weather in Lujiang has gradually turned cooler, and they no longer wore the light clothes of the previous summer.If the family is richer, such as Zhang Yan and others, most of them will choose to change into a leather robe, which can resist the autumn wind and at the same time, it looks very clean and tidy as soon as they walk through it.

As for those from average or not-so-good families, they can only wear a few more layers of coats and make themselves more bulky to resist the coming cold.

Feeling the feeling of the autumn wind blowing on his body, Zhang Yan felt a little comfortable.

Today is a very important day. It's not that Lujiang's rebellious soldiers and horses were established or that the big library was officially completed, but that Ma Jun, who hadn't seen anything for a long time, finally heard the news that it was him. The first Lujiang self-produced artillery model designed and supervised, the "[-]-type artillery trial model" named after the year has finally been successfully cast, and the first round of weapon test firing will begin this afternoon.

As the initiator and largest investor of this project, Zhang Yan was naturally invited by Ma Jun and planned to observe it.

To be honest, Zhang Yan's psychological expectations for the performance of this artillery are very low.

Just like what he said to Ma Jun before, as long as the trial model can be ignited and can blast the shells out of the barrel without exploding, then he can completely accept such a result.

As for some detailed parameters such as range, power, accuracy, etc., Zhang Yan feels that these can be gradually improved in the follow-up adjustments. As long as the first step is taken, sooner or later, Lujiang will be able to design a useful one. The artillery comes out.

"I have seen my lord."

……

"Ah."

……

"Meet Mr. Zhang."

……

"I met Miss Ye'er."

……

He greeted several acquaintances he met one after another, and soon, Zhang Yan took the lead and came to the Science and Technology Department.
