The next morning, Gong Jian and the others stood guard at the city gate early, and soon townspeople came one after another. When these townspeople came, Gong Jian discovered that they had brought some of their own tools and dry food. Apparently they had done similar work before.
"We don't need these tools. Just put the tools here first and you can help."
Gong Jian explained to them again that this was their negligence. They forgot about it yesterday, but people in this world have long been used to it.
Anyone who does such work must bring their own tools. Gong Jian felt a little emotional. Although we are not from the same world, we are still from the same culture!
This habit cannot be changed. Gong Jian still remembers that when he was four or five years old, road construction in the countryside was also assigned to the village.
During the off-season, each household completes many tasks, whether with a four-wheeled vehicle or without a four-wheeled vehicle. They all prepare their own tools and dry food.
At that time, many countries' basic road construction was done in this way.
Many things are passed down from within.
Regarding the matter of dry food, Gong Jian didn't say much. There is no need to explain these things now. It is much better to let them experience it in person than to tell them now.
People came very quickly, but what surprised Gong Jian was that when everyone arrived, they found that there were many more people than those registered yesterday, at least more than a hundred people, many of whom were women.
"Sir, you see, although I am a woman, I can still work. My strength is no less than that of a man. If I help, this road can be completed sooner, right?"
Gong Jian originally wanted to refuse, but these people all opened their mouths and told the reasons for their coming. Gong Jian didn't know how to refuse for a while.
Finally, Du Hong said, "Sir, they all have good intentions. Although they are not the main labor force, they can still do some auxiliary work, and many women can do it better than some young men."
Of course Gong Jian knows this. In rural areas, in many places women do less work than men. This is the case with Gong Jian's mother.
"Then... I just want to thank you all! But all new arrivals should come here to register together." Gong Jian simply agreed.
Working is not the main thing, so don't be in a hurry. There were more than a hundred people, and they quickly registered everyone.
When they were registering, trucks had already arrived at the city gate. There were 10 light trucks in total. Originally, a truck with 50 people was a bit tight, but this time, it was probably really difficult to pull.
But it doesn't matter if it's not easy to pull, just squeeze it and it'll be fine.
There is no traffic police here. Besides, in reality, a Wuling Hongguang can pull more than 40 people. It is still a truck after all, right? Just give it a squeeze.
Anyway, these trucks all look like troop transport trucks, with a canvas cover on the outside, so there's no fear of people falling in. There are two soldiers guarding the back of the truck, so there won't be any problems.
Pulling everyone on board, the truck started straight away.
These people were still a little uneasy about riding such an iron carriage, but after it walked away, everyone began to talk about it. They had really never ridden in such a thing.
In just over half an hour, the team returned to Yang Shu Town.
After getting off the bus, someone naturally organized them to work. Jiang Yan Hai was not surprised by the arrival of Du Hong, but what surprised Jiang Yan Hai was that when he asked Du Hong to help organize it, Du Hong refused.
In his words, Jiang Yan Hai's people must be doing a good job in the affairs of these organizations, so he can just follow them.
Unable to resist Du Hong, Jiang Yan Hai just let him go, but looking at Du Hong who started working there sincerely, Jiang Yan Hai found it a bit interesting.
The work was actually not difficult. Shovels and the like were all prepared. It was nothing more than digging the earth and leveling the land according to the lines drawn by Jiang Yan Hai. To put it bluntly, it was just to find something for them to do.
It doesn't matter what you do, what matters is what happens next.
At this moment, Jiang Yan Hai and the others are stamping. That's right, they are stamping. In front of Jiang Yan Hai they were a pile of papers 5 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters long, with 1 steamed bun, 2 steamed buns, 5 steamed buns, 10 steamed buns written on them, and a printed pattern.
At the bottom is the seal specially engraved by Jiang Yan Hai, Great Qin Empire Ninth Army Headquarters.
Of course, this thing was just something he thought of casually. Anyway, the name is not important, what is important is the function of this thing.
"Brigadier, can you do this?" Wang Xue Bing asked while stamping his stamp.
"You'll know after you try it, right?" Jiang Yan Hai smiled.
In fact, preparing this thing is a test done by Jiang Yan Hai. If you just do it like Wang Xue Bing, you can work, take care of the food every day, and return a portion of food when you go back.
But when Jiang Yan Hai listened to his idea before, he couldn't help but want to do an experiment. If possible, other problems would be solved later.
All the supplies have been prepared, and the few Kitchen Squad specially transferred here are already very familiar with making these big pot meals.
There is no other choice for food, all are similar to northern stews! Anyway, it's just cabbage, potatoes, and fatty pork mixed together.
According to the appetite of these people, regardless of gender, a large bowl and two large steamed buns should be enough for each person.
If some people with big bellies are not full, we will not give them more. The main reason is that they themselves must not be eating so well, and they are afraid that they will be full, which will be bad.
Time soon reached noon, and Jiang Yan Hai had been observing all morning. These people were working, and I have to say... very hard! No one is lazy! They obviously didn't eat in the morning, but they did such high-intensity physical work on an hungry stomach!
Even those women are not left behind.
Many soldiers couldn't bear to see it. After all, they all came in peacetime, and these soldiers usually work on behalf of the people. When did they supervise the work and let the people work like this?
Although these were not people from their own country, it was normal for them to feel unbearable. However, there were strict orders from above, so they could only carry out the orders.
"Dang, Dang, Dang." When the gong specially prepared by Jiang Yan Hai was struck, all the people who were working stopped what they were doing in a daze.
"Everyone, come here! It's noon, it's time to eat! Come here and line up!" The soldiers responsible for maintaining order on the entire construction site shouted loudly.
All the people who were working widened their eyes at this moment, this? In charge of food?! Is there such a good thing?!
