Originally, tasks such as road construction were handed over to these local people. Who wants to find some jobs for them now? Otherwise, how can we strengthen contact with them?
Our ancestors have taught us that we must go deep into the masses and understand what the masses need in order to gain their support.
We still understand the People's War very well.
What Wang Xue Bing submitted was quickly approved, and the engineering team here has built several large light steel warehouses, and other winter supplies have also begun to be stored.
On the third day after Wang Xue Bing arrived, soldiers from a combat team led by Gong Jian, who were sent by Jiang Yan Hai, also received the order.
Gong Jian is also an instructor, so he is very experienced in how to communicate with the masses. In addition, the reason why the entire combat team is dispatched is also to consider safety issues. We are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. And if there is a sneak attack by Red Mad Wolf, one combat team can already solve many problems.
After receiving the order from Jiang Yan Hai, Gong Jian directly found Du Hong, "Town Chief Du, I came to you this time because I have something that I hope you can inform everyone and help us."
As soon as Gong Jian's words came out, Du Hong immediately became energetic. He thought in his heart: Here they are, I'm afraid this is what they were asked to do.
"Chief, if you ask for anything, we will definitely fulfill it. You saved our lives after all." Du Hong said immediately.
"It's like this, our Colonel Jiang decided to build a road between you Yang Qing Town and our Yang Shu Town, but we are a little short of manpower, so we hope you can help us with some work." Gong Jian said with a smile.
"Work..." Hearing this request, Du Hong's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled bitterly inwardly. Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch. It's going to be winter soon. Working at this time is going to kill people!
No wonder I sent them food before, but... can they refuse?
Not saying goodbye, just because someone saved their entire town, they couldn't refuse this offer.
"Okay, I'll gather everyone in a moment. I wonder how many people you need?" Du Hong asked seriously.
"In this way, we will need 500 people at the beginning. If there is need later, we will ask you again." Gong Jian said with a smile.
Gong Jian just said that he wanted to work. He didn't say that the work was not for nothing. The reason why he didn't say it was just to see what these people thought.
Their different attitudes represent Jiang Yan Hai's different policies in the future.
Especially the first group of people are very critical, because the propaganda behind this world depends entirely on these first group of people, so the character of these people must also be understood clearly.
500 people... Hearing this number, Du Hong was slightly relieved. This number is not large, but it is definitely not easy. The entire Yang Qing Town currently only has a population of more than 2,700 people. Not counting the elderly, children, and women, this is the number of young and strong laborers.
"Then I will gather everyone together soon and tell them about this matter. 500 people will not be a problem." Du Hong gritted his teeth and said.
"Then I'll trouble Town Chief Du." Gong Jian smiled and nodded.
Du Hong Without any nonsense, he immediately summoned people and asked the militiamen in the town to quickly notify them of the matter. The whole town was not that big, and dozens of militiamen went door-to-door to notify them, and the notification was quickly received.
In the afternoon, a large crowd of people gathered in the square in the middle of the town. It was impossible for everyone in the town to come. One person from each household was enough.
"Dear fellow villagers, this is our Great Qin Kingdom soldier who saved our town from the Red Mad Wolf disaster a few days ago! Now they are in trouble. They want to build a road to open up the distance between their current station and our Yang Qing Town, so that they can rescue our town faster."
"But there are not enough manpower now, so we need to help with some work. It is winter, and we old and young men have nothing to do. These officers risked their lives to save our lives. Now we need 500 people. I hope everyone can come together to help these officers, and we are also helping ourselves."
"Don't worry, everyone, I, Du Hong, will definitely take the lead, including the militiamen in the town." Du Hong said loudly.
Gong Jian, who was standing next to Du Hong, glanced at Du Hong and had to say that even in such a world where ordinary people are faced with danger at any time, it is not easy to become the mayor. Gong Jian didn't tell him that the road was built to protect them faster.
This is what Du Hong said himself.
"Town Chief Du, count me in! What I didn't say, without them, our whole family would have died." A man's voice soon came from the crowd below.
"Count me in!" The crowd immediately shouted loudly. Gong Jian looked at the crowd below and nodded secretly in his heart. It must be said that people in this world have experienced cruel experiences, so they cherish those who can protect them even more.
They understand these things very clearly.
"Fellow fellows, if you are willing to sign up, come here and register." Gong Jian immediately smiled and pointed to the person next to him.
There are soldiers nearby who have set up four registration desks on four tables, and there is a soldier holding a camera next to each table. When registering their information, their photos will be recorded directly.
The subsequent household registration and ID card policies can be implemented.
Let me tell you, one must be good at learning the good things from our ancestors.
In five thousand years of history, our ancestors have given us too much experience and learning.
These people didn't care. Ordinary people didn't know what this was doing. Although Du Hong might have noticed it, Du Hong wouldn't say anything. Instead, they took the lead and started queuing up to sign up.
The statistical information of those who signed up is very simple, including name, age, and the number of people in their family. Just these three pieces of information are enough.
As for their photos, the soldiers standing behind the registered soldiers will take photos of them, and there are also cameras placed next to each soldier.
But these people have no idea what these things are for.
The registration speed was very fast, and it didn't take long to get 500 people. What surprised Gong Jian was that after the 500 people signed up, there were dozens more people.
They didn't refuse, as long as you are willing to come, everything is simple.
After notifying everyone to gather at the city gate tomorrow morning, the matter was dismissed today, and Gong Jian didn't say much more.
After registering and packing their things, Gong Jian and the others went directly back to the tent they had set up here. Waiting for tomorrow, a truck will naturally come to pick them up and take them to "work".
