On the provincial highway in the western part of Yunxi Prefecture, tens of thousands of people are brandishing hoes, shovels and other tools to build roads.
The Far Eastern Dynasty was extremely decayed, and the territory of Jiangbei Province was also full of tyrants. As a result, the roads had not been repaired for many years and were already in dilapidated condition.
After the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ziang occupied Yunxi Mansion, in addition to measuring the land and distributing it to the people, and restraining land mergers, another important project was road construction.
? Chen Ziang¡¯s original intention of building roads was to provide food and clothing for refugees. While building roads to improve traffic conditions for refugees, it also solved their food and clothing problems.
A large number of refugees participated in Chen Ziang's work-for-relief, which allowed Yunxi Mansion to build countless irrigation canals and repair roads.
Now the roads in Yunxi Mansion are compacted with soil and paved with fine stones, making them flat and wide enough for several carriages to drive side by side.
The mileage of the repaired roads in this way has reached more than 90 miles, which provides convenience for the transfer of troops and the passage of caravans, and greatly improves the dilapidated image of Yunxi Mansion.
In addition to those refugees who wanted a bite to eat, those who built the road also had a large number of captives.
Compared with refugees who can eat for free and receive a certain wage every day, captives are not treated so well.
These captives are the powerful bandits captured and captured by the Qinghe Army in previous battles. It is hoped that through high-intensity labor, they will be reformed and educated.
These prisoners not only have to do all kinds of hard work during the day, but also have to receive intensive study and education under the responsibility of the Civil and Military Association at night. The most important thing is that they have no wages to get.
Of course, Chen Ziang also formulated a series of policies, as long as the captives worked honestly and performed well, they would be pardoned by the Qinghe Army.
In addition to the soldiers of the dynasty army who were captured in the battle, there are also bandits and bandits on the road construction site, as well as officials at all levels of the dynasty.
The weak Song Zhi belongs to the rank of official. He was the county magistrate of Anling County, Yunxi Prefecture.
After the Qinghe Army occupied Anling County, Song Zhi, the once glorious county magistrate, became a prisoner.
Song Zhi originally thought that his life would not be long this time, but to his surprise, the Qinghe Army did not kill him.
Song Zhi and some officials who had been reduced to prison were sent to the road construction site and began to receive labor education.
Song Zhi, a former county magistrate with no power to restrain a chicken, has suffered a lot in the face of high-intensity labor.
During the three months of building roads on the construction site, Song Zhi was dark and thin, completely different from before.
The Qinghe army gave them a fixed plan that they could recover their freedom after three years of labor. Although there was a glimmer of hope, Song Zhi still felt that there was no end in sight, and every day was a torment.
Fortunately, the Qinghe Army has also fixed it, as long as they perform well, they can be pardoned in advance. For this quota, Song Zhi is also doing his best to work and educate, and dare not neglect in the slightest.
"Oops¡ª¡ª"
Song Zhi was carrying the mud, but because of distraction, the soles of his feet suddenly slipped, and he fell directly into the mud.
Seeing Song Zhi fell to the ground, the busy people around glanced at him who was covered in dust, not only did no one come to help him, but they burst out laughing gloatingly.
?The team with Song Zhi in labor education were officials at all levels in Anling County and the suppressed tyrants.
When Song Zhi was the magistrate of Anling County, they were obsessed with Song Zhi.
Now that everyone has become a prisoner, Song Zhi has no power in the past, and they are too lazy to curry favor with Song Zhi, and even bully him from time to time.
Hearing the laughter around him, Song Zhi rubbed his shattered arm, and his face was also full of despondency.
He has been reduced from a high-ranking county magistrate to a prisoner, and he can be regarded as experiencing the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
"Song Zhi, why are you sitting on the ground?"
Seeing Song Zhi sitting on the ground slumped, the manager in charge of their labor group strode over.
"My lord, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not lazy, I just accidentally fell."
?Seeing the steward approaching, Song Zhi didn't care about the pain anymore, and hurriedly got up to pick up the overturned burden, worried that the steward would write a bad review.
"He's clearly being lazy."
An official who used to be Song Zhi's subordinate also fell into trouble and spoke hastily.
"You spitting blood"
Song ZhiHis face changed, and he turned his head to stare at the former subordinate, also full of anger.
"I'm not blind yet, go do your job¡ª"
After the steward scolded the former official, he walked up to Song Zhi.
"Your hand is scratched, doesn't it matter?"
Seeing the bright red blood on Song Zhi's arm, the steward couldn't help but be concerned.
"Thank you, sir, for your concern, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Although the steward appointed by the Qinghe Army looked fierce, he was actually kind-hearted, and Song Zhi knew it.
If it weren't for the steward who always upheld fairness and justice, he wouldn't know how he was bullied by others.
"It's good that it's okay, you can hand over the burden to others, and you come with me." The steward said.
Song Zhi was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at the steward with a puzzled face.
"My lord, don't know what to do?"
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed in Song Zhi's mind, even worrying that the Qinghe army would drag him to behead him.
After all, he used to be the county magistrate of Anling County in the Far Eastern Dynasty. Ever since he was imprisoned, he has been terrified.
"Don't think about it, it's a good thing."
Seeing the worry on Song Zhi's face, the steward smiled and said in relief.
Song Zhi also knew that the steward was a good person. Hearing what he said, the stone hanging in his heart also fell.
Song Zhi handed over the burden of picking the soil to others, and then followed the steward and left the busy road construction site.
Song Zhi followed the steward back to their camp, where other stewards also brought some people back.
Song Zhi recognized several people who used to be subordinate officials of Yunxi Mansion, and they nodded to each other as a greeting.
Not long after they waited in doubt, a young man in a blue official robe walked over surrounded by two soldiers.
Seeing this young official, Song Zhi and the others stood with their hands tied, looking extraordinarily respectful.
"Everyone, let me introduce myself first."
This young green-robed official has a kind face and a magnetic voice.
"I am appointed as the head of the Qinghe Army's Political Affairs Department, and this time I came here on the order of my general."
"Although you all once worked for the Far Eastern Dynasty, you all performed well in labor education."
"You are all educated people, it would be a waste of your talents to do coolies here, so the general wants to recruit you to continue working for the people, what do you think?"
After hearing what this green-robed official said, Song Zhi and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what he meant by doing things for the people.
"Can you elaborate, my lord?" Song Zhi said.
"Then let me make it clear. The general wants to recruit you to continue to be officials, but he is only an official of my Qinghe Army, not an official of the Far Eastern Dynasty. I wonder what you think?"
Song Zhi and others thought they would die when they were imprisoned, but later they only received labor education.
Now that Chen Ziang dared to let them continue to be officials, Song Zhi was also full of suspicion.
"General Chen really trusts us?" Song Zhi asked suspiciously.
The green-robed official smiled and said: "My general said that as long as you can do things for our Qinghe army and benefit the common people, the past things will never be blamed."
