Chapter 124: Re-selected

On the second day, after breakfast, Du Zhongxiao ordered people to call Cui Xiang and the generals to his residence. Everyone stood still, and Du Zhongxiao said: "There are 1,521 prisoners in the prison camp and 72,500 acres of land. Based on this, the prisoners were divided into fifteen teams, each with one hundred people, each living in a village. Each village is three to five miles apart and is distributed around the Yingtian Yamen. The most important thing today is the team."

Cui Xiang bowed: "Taiwei, don't know how to divide it?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "According to the list of prisoners, each team draws one person at a distance of fifteen people. Each ten people are organized into a group, and they are selected as mates. From these hundred people, they are selected as chiefs and deputy chiefs. This is the prisoner's own management and corps, and they are not involved in the guards."

After hearing this, Cui Xiang was silent for a moment and then ordered someone to bring the roster over.

Du Zhongxiao took the roster and clicked five generals to divide the prisoners' team. Then he said to the others: "There are 1,080 soldiers in the prison camp. According to the 100 prisoners and 30 guardian soldiers, and then five officials, 525 people need to be sent to each village. The remaining personnel are all in the prison camp yamen. How to distribute them, Instructor Cui will discuss with the officials to decide."

Cui Xiang and several officials bowed to him and Du Zhongxiao stood up and said, "You will arrange it from the time you go back. I will go to the yamen to see it in an hour."

Cui Xiang bowed to the officials and said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Du Zhongxiao said: "Do your work with your heart and don't be smart. If you say you are drawing people according to the roster, you must match the roster. If you don't match, you won't be careless in the future!"

After hearing this, the generals were shocked and said they promised to go out.

Du Zhongxiao walked out of the yard, looked at the rising sun in the east, and stood there silently. In the battle of Youzhou, he used an army of 500,000 and 600,000, plus more than one million civilians, and thought it was an amazing battle, but in the end it was mediocre. However, after the victory, many people competed for merit. Now in the capital, due to military achievements, all the people were red in their faces.

As the Privy Councilor, no one competed for merit with Du Zhongxiao, nor could anyone compete for me. But if others compete for merit, the Privy Councilor is the key figure. If anyone says something to, don’t speak to anyone, or even oppose it, it may be two consequences. Du Zhongxiao knew that all this was settled, and he could not control the army anymore, and he was too lazy to deal with these things. Guan Qi came out, put aside all that, and let them fight.

In fact, the most important thing now is to help the people of Youzhou and Yunzhou, and the other is to fight against Fengshengzhou. However, the main force of the Khitan has been defeated, and the rest cannot resist the Song army at all, so the officials in the court don’t care. Relief of the people is now the matter of the Secretariat, and the Privy Council does not need to take too much care. After thinking about it, there is nothing to pay attention to in the court.

After stretching his arms, Du Zhongxiao took a deep breath. In early spring, the willow leaves turned green, and all kinds of flowers bloomed everywhere, and the air was filled with a fresh breath. The wind blew on his face without a trace of coolness. It was the most comfortable day of the year.

After leaving the yard, Du Zhongxiao stood in front of the residence door and looked at the surrounding scenery. After a long time, he saw that it was almost done and walked towards the yamen.

The soldiers had already reported that Cui Xiang and the officials came out and saluted Du Zhongxiao.

After entering the official hall, Cui Xiang said, "Taiwei, the prisoners have been divided. The generals from each village are checking the list."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Okay, let's do this. I'll let them build houses in each village in the next two days. It's early spring and the season for spring plowing. The oxen and farm tools needed by the prison camp should also be transported as soon as possible."

Cui Xiang said: "When I go back to Taiwei, there are some villages in the area, and the houses inside can be lived in."

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "I don't want all the houses in the past, and I need to start a new one. And I need to carefully consider how each village is arranged. First, it is convenient to live and to take care of it. They are prisoners, not ordinary people, and they should be kept in a close manner. If a prisoner escapes, the person who sees it is a great crime. Therefore, you must think about how to live in each village, where the person who cares, where the prisoner is, and how many people live in a room."

Cui Xiang was stunned for a moment. He thought that the prison camp was like ordinary people, and they all divided the fields, and the soldiers watched them grow well. However, they did not expect that the prison camp was a prison after all, and they had to keep a close eye on it.

After a long time, Cui Xiang said: "Taiwei, although the prison camp is a criminal, he has always been in charge of it. If you look at everything, how can the prisoners do their jobs? This matter is a bit difficult. Moreover, the village is not small and can't stand it."

Du Zhongxiao said: "What's the difficult thing? Since you are looking at the prisoner, you can refer to the construction of a house. What kind of work should be done every day? The officials and the selected team are discussing. When it's time, they ring the bell and work together. When the time comes, they will return. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded, but if you don't do it well, you will be punished. It's simple and clear."

Seeing that Cui Xiang still didn't understand, Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Forget it, I'll discuss this in detail later."

In Du Zhongxiao's heart, life in the prison camp was a bit like when he was in the rural production team in his previous life. Every day, when the bell rang, the people from the village gathered. After arranging what they were going to do today, the team leader took them there. There were more than 30 people in a village to manage, and the prisoners' own team was waiting for them. It should not be difficult to manage. But I didn't expect that in this era, there was no concept of those?

At this time, the organization was most familiar with Baojia. Each family protected each other, and the others were implicated. They used severe punishments and joint punishment management. Those fine techniques were really unfamiliar. It was no wonder that before the Imperial Army reorganized the Imperial Army, the organizational level of the Imperial Army was pitifully low, let alone civil management. For a moment, Cui Xiang felt it was difficult and it was normal.

The so-called management, at this time, most people understand that there is a leader who takes the lead, and everyone listens to the leader. If the subordinates are obedient, it means that the leader is well-managed and disobedient, it means that the leader is not well-managed. Whether it is to win the hearts of the people under his command or to severe punishments and laws, it is a means that people think is useful. This is true for the army and the people.

Du Zhongxiao understood that management is science, not that simple thing. What is the purpose of training and reorganization of the imperial guards? It is to use scientific management methods to replace the simple and crude methods of the past. Youzhou's occupation shows that this is an effective method.

When he walked into the official hall, the deputy commander Cheng Lian held the list and presented it to Du Zhongxiao. He said, "Taiwei, this is the list of the following villages."

Du Zhongxiao took over the roster and opened to watch. Some important generals, such as Yelu Yixin, Shi Shennu, Xiao Ashi and others, were separated because they were separated by a formation of fifteen people. This is Du Zhongxiao's original intention, and people of all identities in every village have them. Then break the original Khitan organization and see how they adapt in the new environment.

Seeing Yelu Hongji and seeing that he was selected as the team leader, Du Zhongxiao said, "This is inappropriate. Let me continue to command that anyone who brings the title of King of Khitan, including Yelu Hongji, cannot be selected for the team leader. If they are asked to be the team leader, they will not be the same as the previous Khitan army? Doing so, you are causing trouble! Everything in the prison camp must be new, and you are not allowed to follow the old rules! Go back and choose again!"
