Mr. Hong: "That's right, some of the new Tangcheng people don't want to do farm work."
They said the base commander was from Tangcheng.
"And then what? Give them food again?"
Mr. Hong: "Some people were worried that they would get sick from hunger, so they continued to provide meals."
Bai Shuang understood. "I see. You've raised a very good point."
Go ahead and get busy. If you don't have enough manpower, ask the soldiers for help.
I will inform the military to arrange a special team to support agricultural work.
The problem lies with the resettlement department, which has nothing to do with Mr. Hong's agricultural department.
"Thank you for your support, Commander Xie!"
"You're welcome. Farming is everyone's business."
After Mr. Hong left, Bai Shuang asked Bai Jiu to invite Qin Yuan over.
She had just handed over the resettlement department to Qin Yuan a few days ago, a position similar to Mr. Hong's.
Bai Shuang would like to see people in similar positions supervising and competing with each other.
Just like a certain warlord during the Republic of China era, why did he establish two secret service organizations, the Presidential Secretariat and the Military Intelligence Bureau? It's the same reason.
Without checks and balances and competition, things will stagnate and lose their momentum.
As the number of people increases and as more positions at the same level emerge, this phenomenon will become more and more common.
"The base commander is looking for me?"
"Why are those people from Tangcheng unwilling to work?"
"Are some people getting upset?"
"What's wrong with you?"
Anyone who is dissatisfied with the Huaxia base can be asked to leave.
Was it easy to build this base? There are so many foreigners guarding the outside of the base, they can't even get in if they want to, and they're still making a fuss?
Qin Yuan was surprised by Bai Shuang's response.
Given the current population shortage, shouldn't we gradually work on their mindset and persuade them to stay?
"They want to do other jobs."
"Do you need people for other jobs?"
"Some jobs can be filled with more people, but they are not hiring."
This is an attempt to distract them.
"What do you mean by 'more people are fine'? Why should five people do a job that three people can do?"
Bai Shuang glanced at him and said, "I really wonder how you managed to be a leader for so many years?"
I know you brought them here and wanted to show favoritism, but as a leader, shouldn't you consider the overall situation of the entire base?
The planting area needs people, so why aren't they going?
What's wrong? You just arrived at the base, barely escaped the threat of death, and you're already being picky? That's ridiculous.
"There's one more thing I want to ask you: who approved the decision to continue providing them with free meals three days later?"
Assistant Qin lowered his head. "It's me."
I was thinking, their health is already weak, and they don't have suitable work for the time being.
Qin Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "If you go hungry, you'll ruin your health."
"They are physically weak."
Qin Yuan thought Bai Shuang felt the same way and was about to say yes when he heard her continue.
"But the group that came back from outside were not weak."
The groups of people who came back before all went back to work the day after they returned.
"It's been several days, a week has passed, and there are still people who don't want to go to work?"
"Didn't you read the regulations in this regard?"
Newcomers are only provided with free meals for three days. After that, apart from water, there are no other benefits.
Don't you know this rule? Why are you feeding them when they refuse to work?
"Assistant Hong, these are difficult times. As a senior leader, don't you know how precious food is?"
The grain supply had not been replenished for several years, and the three days of free rations were all saved from the meager savings of others.
I know you want to give special treatment to your fellow villagers, but you've broken the rules. It's your indulgence that has allowed them to be lazy and unwilling to work.
Before you, no one had ever broken the rules.
Considering you're new here and had a good relationship with Lu Yu before, I'll give you another chance.
This time, you'll receive a demerit. If you knowingly commit the same offense again, you're no longer fit to be a leader.
"Thank you for the reminder, base commander. I made a mistake this time, and it won't happen again."
Bai Shuang: "Also, stop feeding those people immediately. The cost of their meals for the next three days will be deducted from their future wages."
After Assistant Qin left, Bai Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea that Bai Jiu had poured, and took a sip.
He thought to himself, "Thank goodness I didn't make him a deputy base commander right away."
Bai Shuang had originally planned to hand over her work to Mr. Hong when she went to collect the oil, but now it seems that he is not up to the task.
These former leaders all need to undergo a re-evaluation to determine their suitability.
Bai Jiu asked her, "Miss, aren't you being too harsh on those people? They haven't even started work yet, and they already owe money for meals."
“If we let it go this time, someone will follow suit next time.”
Sitting in a leadership position is very different from how we used to handle problems.
Before I became a leader, the things I encountered were just isolated cases, so I could handle them however I wanted, according to my own preferences and needs.
Once you're in this position, everyone below you is watching. Even the slightest deviation will be magnified infinitely at the grassroots level.
This is exactly what is meant by "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too."
Even rules we establish ourselves must be strictly observed, and changes to them frequently are strictly prohibited.
You two need to be mindful of this in the future.
Bai Chang: "This Qin Yuan is the same; he made a mistake as soon as he arrived."
Bai Shuang: "He probably became bolder subconsciously because he was familiar with Lu Yu and we are also from Tangcheng."
