Chapter 446 [Involution Achieves Hegemony]
Qiu Fang changed the subject: "But not everyone gets one. This most sumptuous breakfast is a reward for the first place winner from the previous day."
"Today's most sumptuous meal is awarded to the first member of the labor camp who memorizes the code."
The first bandit who recited the code was pulled out by the enemy's men at this time. He had a look of surprise and disbelief on his face.
"Is this really for me to eat?"
It was not until the sumptuous breakfast was served in front of him that he believed what he saw was real. He swallowed and began to eat voraciously.
The other bandits were envious and jealous when they saw how happily he ate.
At this time, Xue Wei and Guan Yue came over. They planned to use the opportunity of distributing breakfast to hold a "new employee induction meeting".
Xue Wei observed the bandits' expressions and said, "The first-place prize isn't just breakfast. They'll also have the most sumptuous dinner and be exempted from ten days of caning."
"Every day after that, whoever brings the most people from other villages will be the first."
After hearing this, someone couldn't help but say, "So, the top spot every day must go to the most popular Zhang Tongban Boss. We definitely can't compete with him."
"No, the reward of one copper coin is separate. He is not in competition with you."
Guan Yue shook her head and explained, "If he brings people here, what if those bandits run away? By then, there will be more and more people, and Lord Xue won't be able to handle it with just the manpower he has."
"At this time, we need you to keep a close watch on them. No matter what means you use, we need to train these people into members of the labor camp."
"Make them acknowledge that you are their leader and urge them to recite the labor reform code, and that will be considered a success."
The bandits were stunned after hearing Guan Yue's words. It was only after their accomplices discussed and explained that they collectively understood what Guan Yue meant.
The second-in-command of the Gold and Silver Debt rubbed his head and said, "It's just like a merchant selling things. Whoever sells the most things becomes the first. But we are 'selling people'."
Guan Yue was amused by this statement, "Yes, these people you brought in are your achievements."
——"Then I'm going to give it a try. I want the people in the other villages to go through the same hardship I went through while memorizing books all night long!"
The bandit who was speaking gritted his teeth viciously. They were all bandits in this area. Why were the people from their two villages the only ones to be arrested and punished?
Since you've been caught in the rain, you should tear other people's umbrellas into pieces!
One of the bandits shook his head disapprovingly: "That's not very loyal, is it? It's bound to offend people."
Guan Yue snorted coldly, "Loyalty?"
"By pulling them over, you're actually saving their lives. Otherwise... you'd only be responsible for pulling out their bodies."
Qiu Fang took out his beloved scorpion from the small basket tied around his waist and played with it. "Do you know what would have happened if you hadn't cooperated last night?"
"These poisonous creatures raised by us Miao people are all human-like and can recognize the scent on you. Even if you run away, you can't escape our grasp."
Zhang Tongban glanced at the scorpion. Although he had taken medicine to relieve the toxicity after completing his "teaching task" last night, he felt pain in his buttocks when he saw the scorpion.
"No one dared to control you before."
Xue Wei crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows: "Now that we are here, these bandits who are disturbing the northwest must either obey or die."
The bandits present had different expressions when they heard this. Some of them were already afraid after being beaten, while others secretly hoped that the ruthless people in the village would be able to deal with this group of people next.
But the most important thing now is that, except for the first person who is eating, everyone is still hungry.
The bandit who finished reciting the rules second yesterday was a little dissatisfied: "Master Xue, Master Guan, is there any reward for second place? I finished reciting the rules less than an incense stick of time behind him yesterday."
He pointed at the first person who was eating voraciously, with a look of grievance on his face.
"Yes, the top 20 performers receive different breakfast and dinner packages than others."
"However, the richness and quantity of breakfast and dinner, as well as the number of exemptions from punishment, decrease in descending order."
After Xue Wei finished speaking, Qiu Fang gave the second breakfast to the bandit. There was no fruit in the breakfast. Although the second man felt a little regretful that he could not taste the taste of the fruit he had never seen before, this meal was already the best meal he had eaten since escaping Wan'an Pass!
The bandits were arranged according to their ranking, and their meals were distributed by the escorts and guards.
“We will also give everyone points based on their ranking.”
Xue Wei raised the account book in his hand and said, "Points can be exchanged for necessities like food and clothes, and can also be used to reduce sentences. Each of you will have a different length of sentence depending on the severity of your previous crimes."
"Ten points can equal one day's punishment."
"Of course, once your points have been used up to cover all your prison time, you can generally leave the labor camp and take away all your belongings you've accumulated there. You'll be free again and won't have to worry about anyone arresting you again."
When they heard the word "freedom", many bandits raised their heads at the same time. Many of them were not alone and had family members at home. They just didn't dare to go back because they had committed crimes.
Xue Wei's condition ignited hope in their hearts.
"For team members who have performed particularly well during their labor reform, we can also help them find their families or arrange jobs for them."
This sentence made many people's eyes flash with excitement. There were still many people in the village who wanted to return to normal life.
"Then those whose daily performance ranks below the top 20 will not get any rewards?"
The bandits who were not in the top 20 in the endorsement rankings held the porridge in their hands and stared at the sumptuous meals of others, looking forward to it.
"Not really," Guan Yue shrugged. "We also have an improvement award. If you improve your ranking by ten places compared to the previous day, you'll also receive the food and points for the twentieth place."
"Those ranked 21st to 100th get white porridge with pickled mustard greens. The rest of the people can only eat white porridge, and those ranked in the bottom ten, who don't meet their quotas, or who have bad attitudes, won't be given any food."
Xue Wei added, "Taking into account the differences in personality and strengths of each person, those who are not good at recruiting people can choose to stay in the village to farm and build houses. They will also receive food rewards and points based on their performance ranking."
At this time, the second in command of Jinyinzhai asked while drinking porridge: "My lords, if I farm during the day and recruit people at night, can I get double the reward if I achieve this?"
The others widened their eyes when they heard this. This second in command of Jinyinzhai was indeed Zhang Tongban's direct disciple. When he heard that there was something good to gain, his mind worked faster than anyone else.
