Chapter 102 Original Sin

"... With the construction of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the Yangtze River, which has been called Tianhan since ancient times, will be conquered by us in the near future. A bridge flies north and south, and the sky changes the road. This is the boldest engineering feat in human history... At the same time, it is also a very successful experiment. It turns the colonists who once colonized China and the enemies of a large number of countries into skilled laborers to build China, and even into the labor necessary for the country. Polar molecules.

The victory of thousands of workers of different types and ethnic groups who are working together to quickly defeat nature hostile to human beings is remarkable, but what is even more remarkable is that those who were not long ago used to living by squeezing the people's fat and did not have a trace of skills to make a living have defeated their own victory.

... For us, no matter what kind of sin he commits, people are precious. Even if they have seriously hurt us, we can't let him fall because of idleness, but transform him into a skilled worker and a useful member of society.

This unwavering attitude towards "them" shows our positive humanitarianism. In the society where "people are wolves", this kind of humanitarianism is impossible at any time and anywhere in the past and now... And this is the Han people, this great and glorious nation, and other nations are the most The big difference!"

In the rolling river, under the light, several barges are tied to the huge sinking box in the river. On the sinking box of the steel ribbed wooden shell, there stood several internal affairs soldiers with live ammunition and black military uniforms, and hundreds of workers were jumping up from the barge along the springboard, and then lined up and entered with a number plate. Enter the sinking box.

At the other exit of the sinking box, workers covered with sludge at the bottom of the river lined up and walked out of the sinking box. When they stood on the sinking box and saw the stars again, almost everyone was greedily breathing fresh air and digging the sinking box of the pier base, which was a hellish place, although If you work here, you can get twice the work points, but if you can choose, no one can work there at will. Do you have a choice?

"Hurry up! Hurry up, what are you swearing? Get on the boat quickly!"

While the tired people were breathing fresh air, the guards with live ammunition shouted loudly, and the people all over the mud dragged the tired number plate again, scored work points, boarded the ship, and left the construction site.

At 4:30 a.m., on the construction site of the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, when the workers were napping uneasily in the simple shed, the shed chief of the shed shouted and scolded, waking everyone from their sleep.

"Get up quickly, one by one thought it was when the birds were walking in the forty-nine cities! Hurry up, hurry up!"

The wooden shed on the construction site, which was forbidden by barbed wire, was dirty and smelly. The three people huddled tightly in a shop and lay on the grass mat covered with fleas. This was their only sleep.

After jumping down the upper bunk, he listened to the roll call and said that he must pray every day.

"The Jade Emperor is on the top. As long as I can leave this damn place early, the villain will definitely be a vegetarian from now on..."

Or half of what he said was thinking in his heart.

"Well, I'm going to be a vegetarian for one, three, four or six days, and I'm going to eat meat. I don't know if it's fish or pork today. If only today's meat could be streaky pork. It's better to have a thick finger, three fingers high, and a slap... a child's slap!"

Thinking about it, his mouth began to drool. The food here was not bad. Of course, it was based on the situation of full work, otherwise the food had to be deducted. Although it faded out of the millet porridge in the morning, you might as well imagine the millet porridge as having eaten meat porridge in the past.

Why do you want to drink millet porridge in the morning? It seems that millet is cheaper than rice than flour.

"What's the day today!"

At this time, a man who had a meal shouted at others with a happy face, and even deliberately raised the steamed buns in his hand. Although it was a mixed steamed bun, it made all the people, including Buyin, drool.

After swallowing his saliva, Buyin heard the sound of drumming in his stomach. This is not the emperor's birth!

"Let me have a bite early!"

Looking at the sound of those who received the meal, Buyin prayed in his heart.

Compared with the flag barracks in the past, Buyin did not think there was any difference between the work camp and the barracks. On the one hand, in the past, when they were in the barracks, they fought even if they wanted to. But here, if it comes to punishment, there is also a premise, that is, they did not complete the task or violated the officer's order. As for the torture and knocking down, they don't seem to be willing to do that, and they change the method, such as what to do, of course. There is no end to it, and the food will be deducted. This is what everyone is most worried about. There is also hard work - such as digging coal, digging river workers, repairing roads, digging earthwork, pulling stones. In short, they have too many very "se fair" ways to deal with people.

Of course, this doesn't mean that this is heaven, "between heaven and hell!" What is that place? The world! The big guy is still alive, isn't it the world?

Of course, for those guards, their favorite thing is to let the big guys gather in a group to criticize and self-criticize, and then do self-criticism, self-criticism, self-criticism, self-criticism in the past parasitic life in the past, self-criticism... In short, if you don't self-criticism, you don't know, this self-criticism is a scare. Jump, I didn't expect that I had committed so many crimes.

"Labor brings freedom!"

When he was talking about this sentence, it was finally the turn of the team where Buyin was to eat. At the thought of the fragrant steamed buns, he quickly lost the idea in his mind and ran to the lunch place with the lunch box.

"Look, these people!"

Standing in Wei Xiangzhong in front of the field, he saw those people scrambling for the first time, and couldn't help muttering in his mouth.

"Like a dog grabbing food!"

There is nothing we can do about giving them extra meals today. The director personally brought people to the construction site to investigate the water permeability accident. At that time, if the director asked about the food, with today's meal, he could pass this test.

"Do you have steamed buns in the morning?"

"Yes!"

"Do you have meat every other?"

"Yes!"

"Do you have a rest?"

"Yes!"

Of course, all of this is true. Even if the people brought by the director ask these questions, those people's answers will be impeccable, but the inner Taoism is only understood by themselves.

Do you have steamed buns in the morning?

It's only available today, and it's still miscellaneous!

Can I eat meat twice a week?

There is, but there is only one piece of meat.

Do you have a break?

Of course, there will be. People are not machines and will always be tired, but according to the regulations, they work eleven hours a day. Here, thirteen hours a day, excluding meal time. In this way, you can work for seven days in six days, and of course you have to let them rest in the end!

Why do you do this?

Wei Xiangzhong has some of his own plans, people!

After taking a sip of the fragrant rain before Longjing, Wei Xiangzhong summed up the advice given to him by Boss Zhang to transfer a group of workers to his coal mine. He paid the work camp. A miner could earn 20 yuan a month, but a worker paid 10 yuan to the "work camp" for a month.

"This is a little difficult!"

I muttered about the oil and water of ten yuan in my heart, but I was thinking about the reality of promotion only with benefits. On the one hand, it was real money, and on the other hand, it was real power.

Thinking about this thing over and over again, Wei Xiangzhong's heart was upset, and he was unwilling to let go at both ends.

It's difficult!

With a long sigh, Wei Xiangzhong began to complain about why there were so few people in this camp. If there were tens of thousands of people... Hey, this is just thinking about it! Especially in the limelight now, all you can do is think about it. At least you have to wait for the limelight to pass before you can think of some more.

"Comprehensive inspection!"

Thinking of the notice in the department, because of the water penetration accident, the department decided to conduct a comprehensive inspection of its own 196 battalion. Everything in the camp should be turned out and checked, from what kind of worker's treatment, to management, to... In short, those guys simply came to find bones in the eggs.

"There must be no problem with management. Isn't my experience still being promoted nationwide?"

Although he said so, he regretted it in his heart. Yesterday, after all his efforts, he finally found the man's body, and the telegram was also sent out. Originally, he thought that the director would go back to the house, but who would have thought that the director would carry out an all-round inspection of the camp with painstaking efforts, and And he also has to inspect other camps.

At this moment, Wei Xiangzhong saw several cars through the barbed wire. As soon as he saw the car, his face changed. What should come was always coming. The only thing he could do now was... "Come on, open the door and line up to welcome the director's inspection!"

"700 grams of millet (800 grams for heavy work), 5 grams of cotton oil, one tael of meat (fish or meat) every three days, ten taels of vegetables (four taels of pickles in winter), 7 grams of sugar, 2 grams of tea..."

An employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the office is checking the forms one by one, and from time to time with an abacus to calculate whether each person's food standard is up to standard, and to be precise, whether the price is up to standard.

Since the caging rights of these people have been removed from the General Administration of Prisoners of War of the Guards, in the compulsory working camp, their food supply has been fully guaranteed. Food and medicine, in short, everything is in line with the standard, and he needs to check whether the food has been corrupted.

"The director, for those labor commandos, in addition to the more comfortable single barracks, they can also improve their ration supply, such as the appropriate increase of staple food and the increase of meat. Of course, they can enjoy food in the reading restaurant. The food can be a small stove, and the distribution is also being distributed. Clothing and other rations also enjoy priority. When singing every week, you can watch the play in the front row. Of course, as a final reward, you can also get some easy work. Through these incentive mechanisms, you can indeed effectively improve production efficiency and punish... It only needs to be used when appropriate, after all, The purpose of the concentration camp is to teach them how to work, not to abuse them!"

"...Well, this is good. It should be promoted!"

He nodded, listened to Wei Xiangzhong's report, and agreed with his new measures.

When he came to Wuhan this time, he was also ready to go back to Nanjing after receiving the report halfway, but in the end he decided to inspect these camps. Who knows if there will be any new problems here?

"These experiences are good. The purpose of establishing a compulsory work camp is not to abuse or punish. Otherwise, we provide 18 taels of staple food a day, and we have one or two meals every other day. What is this? Such rich food can't even be enjoyed by many citizens, but they can get such food. High-intensity labor is exchanged for super-standard food. As long as they are well transformed, they can not only get rich food, but also be free!"

After ponding for a while, Qian Ding took a look at Wei Xiangzhong.

"Maybe in a few years, they can be free. In due course, the Supreme Court will definitely pardon some of the activists!"

"Presir, are we going to release them?"

Hearing that those people were going to be released, Wei Xiangzhong couldn't help but be stunned. What should they do if they are released?

"The compulsory work camp is only a temporary surname and a modified surname, which cannot be violated! The fact that they were stripped away from the Prisoners of War Administration was actually to prepare them for their freedom, of course,"

Leaning against the back of the chair, Qian Ding continued.

"In fact, this is the decision of some ministers. Under the influence of ministers, their identities have changed from prisoners of war to "forced workers" to atone for their crimes through labor. Although it is only an excuse for some ministers to fool people, we can't deny that forced work has indeed promoted China's economy to a large extent. Economic development!"

When he said this, Qian Ding did not show any emotion. Although he did not agree with some policies, he knew that he could not violate anything. The ministers have the plans of the ministers, and His Majesty also has His Majesty's thoughts. Whether those who will be released in the future, all the Special Work Management Office should do is to manage these workers well. Camp, give full play to the maximum value of the camp, so as to contribute to the country's industrial construction.

"This year, according to our plan, the working camp needs to reclaim 15 million mu of arable land and 3 million mu of rubber plantations throughout the year, and complete 38 million cubic meters of new water conservancy projects. In addition to the total task of 16 million tons of coal, 6 million tons of iron ore and 3 million tons of copper ore, it must be said to be heavy. In return, we can pay 495 million yuan in profits to the country, but I personally prefer to pay 500 million yuan! Do you know what this concept is?

Looking up, Qian Ding with a smile on his face looked at Wei Xiangzhong in front of him.

"Today, the fiscal revenue of the empire may reach 1 billion, but whether it is 1 billion or more than 900 million, more than 800 compulsory work camps across the country can provide a profit equivalent to half of the fiscal revenue!"

"Son, this should be to follow the basic principle of the economic textbook: get the most labor at the lowest cost. The least input, the largest output, and the greatest profit can stimulate the development of the national economy!"

Wei Xiangzhong, who has been fully studying "compulsory work", naturally understands these truths.

"Yes, our country is lagging behind the rest of the world. We need to import machines, buy patents, send international students, and hire foreign scientists and technicians. The country needs to popularize compulsory education and build railways and ports. All of this requires money, but where does the money come from? "?"

Money, a penny, is it a hero? Although he doesn't work in the Ministry of Finance, Qian Ding knows that without money, China will collapse!

"So, although I don't like the advice of ministers, I don't deny that forced work... If we look at the problem of forced work from the perspective of economic and reasonable surnames, then this system is becoming the largest economic institution in China with unlimited labor mobilization ability, and it can even be said that in the future In time, it will become the pillar of the national finance.

"In that case, why do you want to release them?"

In the face of the director's problem, Wei Xiangzhong raised his doubts.

"Sir, in the future, it is necessary for the country to break the work camp and pardon these people. Of course, this is necessary. After all, the ultimate purpose of their work is to redeem the old crimes, but in the country's economic conditions are not good, it is different whether they can be opened or not. These people are working, giving rewards, and even medals. Of course, it's not impossible. If you can motivate them to work harder, of course it's okay. Then, we released them, and they went to society. If they didn't have a job, they were bound to go on the road of crime. But it's different in the camp. They only need to work here, and we provide them with food and medical care. They don't need to consider life here. Of course, there may be no freedom here, but after all, they will not only cause damage to society, but also bring benefits to the country! "

Every day, it can bring itself almost hundreds of yuan of income. With this alone, Wei Xiangzhong certainly does not want to let those people be free. These people are money trees. The huge wealth brought by their labor can make the country develop rapidly. In the same way, they work in the work camp and can be The commander of the battalion himself brings a rich income.

"What you said is not unreasonable."

Qian Ding did not deny this.

"In fact, many people now choose the surname to ignore the forced work camp, because the huge return brought by the forced manufacturing work camp is far beyond our imagination, but..."

Qian Ding was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something, but he finally looked up at Wei Xiangzhong in front of him.

"Sometimes there are many problems that we can't control! All right... Let's go to the construction site and have a look!"

Standing up, Qian Ding walked out of the office door. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said something.

"Xiangyun, you know that people, whether we or the people in the camp, have an original sin!"

Without waiting for Wei Xiangzhong to speak, Qian Ding left a word and walked out of the door at the same time.

"Greedy!"
