Chapter 608

Why can these criminals get such good treatment!

"You rascal!"

Su Xuan shook his head with amusement: "Among the people under my rule, as long as they are not very lazy, I don't think anyone lives worse than the criminals in the engineering team, right?"

"The reason why the engineering team is given such good treatment is also because many jobs in the engineering team are very dangerous, and this is purely a hard work;"

"If they don't eat or wear well, their loss rate will be very high!"

"We are currently short of manpower in the engineering team and mining area. If we don't cherish these free laborers, then who will do various projects and mining?"

"Do you want the people under my rule to do it?"

"Not to mention that I can't bear to let them suffer this crime, and I have to give higher treatment and wages;"

"The cost will increase by several times or even more than ten times, which is completely not worth the loss!"

This is actually a manpower cost problem.

Su Xuan would rather let these criminals eat and wear well on weekdays, live longer, and work harder, than recruit people to do these things.

Of course, purely giving benefits and improving treatment is definitely not possible.

Therefore, the engineering team and mining area have implemented a performance appraisal system from the beginning.

Those who do well and work actively can naturally enjoy better treatment, and those whose crimes are not serious can even reduce their sentences;

Those who are lazy and slippery will naturally have their treatment reduced, and the most dangerous work will also be arranged for these people.

Since they are already criminals, and they don't think about repentance and are lazy, he naturally treats them as consumables.

"This..."

Cheng Yu was stunned and reacted: "It's really not worth it!"

"Definitely!"

At this time, Xi Zhicai also couldn't help but smile: "Zhongde, do you think we are all stupid? We have been doing this for so long, can't we see these problems?"

"You don't have much contact with these affairs, so you didn't think of it before, but now the treatment and reward and punishment system for criminals in the engineering team and mining area have been strictly investigated and practiced, adjusted and optimized step by step, and only then have the perfect system today!"

"Actually, in the past, the engineering team was not all criminals, and there were some engineering teams formed by recruiting refugees;"

"However, after these people worked for a period of time, they were full and warm, and their bodies gradually recovered;"

"The requirements for life were further improved. In order not to significantly increase the expenses of the engineering team and mining area, we had to disperse and resettle these people, let them go to reclaim wasteland again."

"After a few years, the engineering team and mining area were completely left with only criminals working!"

Having said that, Xi Zhicai looked at Su Xuan: "So, Lord! This time, please be sure to tell the troops attacking Jiaozhou and Annan to capture and arrest as many criminals, barbarians who are not subject to discipline, and indigenous people as possible!"

"In addition, I think we should treat them differently!"

"For criminals among the Han people, except for those who have committed heinous crimes, the treatment can be better;"

"Barbarians are second, and the treatment of Annan indigenous people can be lowered!"

Anyway, Annan indigenous people are completely consumables.

"Tsk tsk!"

Cheng Yu looked at Xi Zhicai with amazement, as if he knew Xi Zhicai for the first time: "Zhicai, you are really something! I just found out that you are actually quite ruthless! I thought you were a gentle person before!"

"Now it seems that I was wrong!"

"Heh!"

Xi Zhicai smiled: "I have never said that I am a pure good person or a saint! Be gentle when you should be gentle, and when you show sharp means, I naturally don't lack sharp means and a ruthless heart!"

"Besides, barbarians are not subject to discipline, and Annan indigenous people have basically no relationship with our descendants of Yan and Huang. What's the problem with being ruthless to them and being good to our own people?"

People are double-standard.

He just used his double standard in the place he thought was right.

"No problem!"

Cheng Yu said happily: "No problem at all! This is even better!"

"I very much agree with your suggestion. Treat different people differently, and the treatment should naturally be different! What do you think, Lord?"

Su Xuan smiled: "What you two said is very right! Let's do it this way! The treatment of Great Han criminals, barbarians, and Annan indigenous people will be distinguished!"

"I will naturally remind Gan Ning and the others to pay more attention to capturing people!"

He even wished he could capture all the indigenous people on the Indochina Peninsula to build roads, bridges, and mines for himself!

It's better for foreigners to bleed than for our own people to bleed, right?

In a blink of an eye, three months passed.

In these three months, Jia Shijiu achieved very good results in Bingzhou.

Currently, he has completely controlled all areas controlled by the Han people in Bingzhou, except for Xihe Commandery, Wuyuan, Shuofang, and other places, because they have long been completely fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu and Xianbei.

They have strong troops and many people. For a time, Jia Shijiu and the others have not been able to completely recover these places and completely drive these Hu people out.

But after a few months, they have fought many times.

During this period, no less than 20,000 Hu people were killed, which made the Xiongnu and Xianbei hate Jia Shijiu and the others very much.

Began to increase troops to Bingzhou.

The big movement in Bingzhou even attracted the attention of Yuan Shao, who had already invaded Youzhou and taken Ji County from Liu Yu.

"Do you know where this group of people came from? How are they so powerful? They actually took most of Bingzhou in just half a year, and repeatedly frustrated the attacks of the Xiongnu and Xianbei?"

"This Bingzhou is the territory I value. It must be controlled by me in the future. If I continue to let them grow like this, it will probably be very troublesome to deal with in the future, right?"

Yuan Shao received the latest intelligence from Bingzhou and saw Jia Shijiu and the others developing so rapidly, and couldn't help but ask with worry.

"Lord!"

Xu You came out and bowed: "I have heard about this group of people long ago. They seem to have started from Bai Bo Valley!"

"Hmm?"

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows: "Bai Bo Valley? Are you saying they are actually Bai Bo thieves?"

"Uh... not really!"

Xu You shook his head speechlessly: "I also know those leaders of the Bai Bo thieves, nothing more than Yang Feng and his ilk;"

"But these people were killed by Jia Wu (the name Jia Shijiu used to the outside world) who currently occupies Bingzhou more than half a year ago. Afterward, Jia Wu annexed the troops, money, and grain of the Bai Bo thieves, and reorganized the troops under his command, and finally became the troops under his command now!"

"At first, I didn't take them to heart, but I didn't expect them to develop so fast! Their strength has become so strong!"

"Even the Xiongnu and Xianbei have repeatedly been defeated in their hands. If we continue to let them develop like this, they will definitely become our great enemy in the future and become an obstacle to our taking Bingzhou!"

"However, our focus is still on Youzhou;"

"Although Liu Yu is dead! But Gongsun Zan is not a simple character!"

"If we can't beat him to death with one stick, as long as he is given enough breathing space, he will probably make a comeback and become our great enemy;"

"Therefore, even if Jia Wu and the others are a threat, we can't spare our hands, so we should destroy Gongsun Zan as soon as possible and take Youzhou completely."

"Hmm..."

Yuan Shao nodded slowly and deliberated: "What you said, Xu You, is not unreasonable! It seems we can only let them go for now!"

"Lord! I think Xu You's words are inappropriate!"

At this time, Guo Tu stood up to refute without accident.

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu without surprise and asked: "Gongze, why do you say that? Do you have any other opinions? Let's hear it!"

Yuan Shao naturally knew very well about the conflict and struggle between Xu You and Guo Tu.

But he didn't mean to stop it, and even happy to see it happen.

Because, in his view, if all the factions under his command were harmonious, that would be the real big problem!

Only when the people under his command confront each other and check and balance each other can he, the Lord, be at ease.

And he, just needs to do the balance in the middle.

The idea is good, if it is a peaceful and prosperous age, this is indeed very good.

But now it is a chaotic world! It is a time when we need to concentrate our experience and expand to the outside world as much as possible!

Internal friction and holding each other back, what is this?

From the beginning, Yuan Shao got this point wrong.

Of course, it is not strange that he got it wrong, because the education he received in the past was like this!

Can only say that origin and education determine destiny!

Plus Yuan Shao's indecisive personality, many things were doomed from the beginning!

Xu You saw Guo Tu standing up to provoke him again, and his eyes narrowed slightly, and cold light flashed away.

Although he wished he could kill Guo Tu, this stirrer, he couldn't do so.

"Don't let me find a chance, otherwise, I will definitely kill you! Heh!"
