After thinking for a moment, Chu Tian asked doubtfully, "The educated youth have never been here before, why are they coming now?"

Captain Sun pulled a pipe from his waist, bent over to block the wind, lit it, took a few deep puffs, and then spoke again, "The farm is already full of educated youth. As for the southern and northern Xinjiang regions, there are also quite a few educated youth. It is said that there are too many educated youth called up to go to the countryside now, and many places are already saturated. Only our Red Flag Corps, the Changsheng Corps in the south, and some local communes currently have no educated youth..."

Yao Xiujuan was surprised. "Captain, are you saying that the Changsheng Corps in the south is also going to accept a group of educated youth?"

Captain Sun was about to ask what was wrong when he suddenly remembered that Yao Xiujuan's family was from the Changsheng Corps. "Well, but the Changsheng Corps has more mountains and less land than our Red Flag Corps, so it seems that the number of people required is not as many as ours..."

Yao Xiujuan nodded slightly, lowered her head and didn't ask any more questions.

Chu Tian glanced at Yao Xiujuan and continued to ask, "Then, how many people will our regiment accept?"

Captain Sun tapped his pipe and said, "Three hundred and ten."

Chu Tian clicked his tongue, "Why are there so many?"

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Our regiment has more brigades than other regiments, but if more than 300 people are divided evenly, it's not a small number..."

Captain Sun said, "Well, our corps has a total of seven companies, and each company has three production teams. So that's twenty-one production teams, with three hundred and ten people. On average, each team has fourteen or fifteen people..."

Chu Tian calculated, "Captain, do you mean that there are sixteen teams with fifteen people? And the remaining five teams with fourteen people?"

Captain Sun nodded. "Well, it's impossible to divide it completely equally. Those educated youth are not like pork that can be weighed by the pound. It all depends on the lottery on the day they arrive. Who is unlucky and who is lucky..."

After saying that, he sighed heavily again, "Hey, what can those educated youth do? They even said it was very nice, aiding Xinjiang's construction! What the hell are they going to build? It's good enough if they don't cause trouble..."

“···”

Chu Tian felt that although Captain Sun's words were unpleasant to the ear, they were true. He thought for a moment and finally said comfortingly, "Captain, don't worry. When these educated youth come down, don't let them mix with our team members. When spring comes, allocate a separate piece of land for them and let them work on it every day. If they finish the work, they will be counted as work points. If they don't finish it, don't deduct any points. You can even just not give them any..."

"Anyway, the government must have given them food rations when they first came down, but the government can't always give them. I guess they only gave them food rations when the food didn't come down at the beginning, and stopped giving them food later. If they don't work hard, they will starve. Anyway, our production team doesn't support idle people..."

"They were so hungry that they just did it..."

Captain Sun carefully considered what Chu Tian said, and his eyes lit up instantly. He looked at Chu Tian and praised him, "Chu Tian, ​​how come you are so smart? Why is my Weiguo such a fool?"

Sun Weiguo shouted unhappily, "Dad, what are you talking about? I'm still here..."

Captain Sun said disdainfully, "What's wrong with you? I'm just saying this in front of you..."

"Brother Tian is good, but I'm not that bad..."

Sun Weiguo grumbled aggrievedly.

Chu Tian smiled and patted Sun Weiguo on the back to comfort him, "Captain, don't say that, Weiguo is also very good..."
