“Second River, why aren’t you standing in line yet? As your Jia Zhang, do you want our entire Jia to continue being punished because of you? Hurry up and get over here!” Looking at Second River, who was shaking his head and blindly confused, Jia Zhang Second River, with furious red eyes, swiftly rushed forward, slapped him hard, and instantly knocked Second River to the ground.
Then, Second River immediately gathered the others into his team.
He was afraid of being punished by association.
Yes, Uchiha Tenxiu, to prevent these people from not diligently using their positions, and fearing they would slack off or go easy on their acquaintances, directly implemented a collective punishment system.
If one person in a Bao Jia made a mistake, everyone in that Bao Jia had to bear the consequences, receiving half of the punishment that person would have received. The Bao Zhang and Jia Zhang would receive double the punishment. This led to everyone in the Bao Jia watching each other, making them distrustful of one another.
At the same time, the Bao Zhang and Jia Zhang strictly supervised every person under them to prevent them from making mistakes.
Therefore, after Uchiha Tenxiu arranged the Bao Zhang and Jia Zhang system and the higher-level regulations, he immediately announced that all Bao Zhang and Jia Zhang would lead their members in a formation.
It was just a simple formation.
It instantly distinguished the well-formed teams from the clumsy ones. Using rewards and punishments as incentives and deterrents, he quickly won the hearts of the entire force, making them understand that they must obey orders and follow superior arrangements.
And unfortunately,
In the team where Jia Zhang Second River was, Second River had not been prepared earlier and had not performed the required formation.
This caused them all to be punished.
Second River and Jia Zhang Second River each received ten heavy blows, and the other team members each received five heavy blows.
Second River cursed, “This idiot, he’s a single household, why isn’t he quickly gathering with our Jia’s team? What is he thinking?! Every time, he has to cause trouble for us!”
“Exactly, that bastard! He’s too much!”
Beside him, the other eight people also glared at Second River. If they weren’t currently in line, they probably would have already stepped forward together to beat Second River severely. All because of this damned scoundrel, they each took five heavy blows just now.
In the previous lineup, those who didn't form up properly had their entire team punished, receiving more than ten heavy blows. However, those who had their entire Jia lined up properly not only avoided punishment but also received a reward of three thousand taels.
Everyone’s eyes were red with envy. Even for these commoners living in the inner city, it was a significant sum of money.
Basically, it was enough for one or two months of expenses.
They could have received this money, but because of that bastard Second River, they not only didn't get the money but also got beaten.
For a moment, everyone felt like eating him alive.
“Bastard, you…” Second River clutched his face, glaring at Second River. This dog dared to hit him; he used to bully him in the city.
And now this dog, after becoming this so-called Jia Zhang, actually dared to hit him. How hateful!
Second River wanted to resist, clenching his fist, intending to teach this guy a lesson. However, when his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the warriors in the distance, he instantly recalled the mountains of corpses and seas of blood he had seen yesterday. These adults above could really kill people. Thinking of this, all of Second River’s courage vanished instantly, and his bones unconsciously softened, not daring to make any more movements.
On the other side, Second River saw him clench his fist and instantly came to his senses, “Oh no, how could I forget that Second River is a crazy dog-like hooligan? I always used to be beaten by him. What if he fights back?!”
But, the next moment,
Not only did Second River not move, but his respectful gaze and hunched back made Second River’s heart suddenly skip a beat.
“That’s right! I am the Jia Zhang, I am an adult, I am the Jia Zhang personally valued and appointed by Captain Adult. No matter how powerful that scoundrel Second River is, would he dare to hit me?”
In an instant, Second River felt a surge of satisfaction. Remembering the humiliation he had suffered from the other party in the past, this feeling of revenge was as refreshing as eating ice in the scorching heat of summer, filling his heart with relief.
Second River’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable pride. He hadn’t expected the position of Jia Zhang to have such a use; it was really good!
Soon, the second formation was completed.
With the experience from the first time, the second formation was much more complete than before. Even the families nearby watching their formation felt it had the appearance of an army.
At the same time, Uchiha Tenxiu nodded in satisfaction and said to Koike Junichiro, who was beside him, “Go gather all the village chiefs and captains for a meeting!”
That’s right, it was naturally a meeting.
As one of the important points of managing others,
Meetings,
Evidently, better demonstrate the responsibility of management.
Every meeting, the upper leadership’s arrangements for the lower-level personnel are tests of obedience and authority establishment.
At present, Uchiha Tenxiu was naturally no exception.
He used these small tricks with ease.
“Very good, you’ve done well. In my eyes, you’ve already shown a little bit of discipline. Originally, according to Ninja regulations, I should have annihilated all of you. However, you are just ordinary residents, so I, for once, am being benevolent and granting you a path to survival, leading you away from here…”
Uchiha Tenxiu surveyed the promoted village chiefs and captains, speaking without ceremony.
Amidst their terrified expressions, Uchiha Tenxiu finally revealed a slight smile and continued, “I know many of you still complain in your hearts about leaving your comfortable living areas, and still resent the heavy losses to your family property after leaving Harvest City. However, I can assure you that if you work diligently, then those among you who retain their positions upon reaching the destination will be compensated by me with ten times the value of your family property!”
“Therefore, I hope you will work even more diligently. Remember this migration. You are not just working hard for me, but fighting for your own wealth!”
Uchiha Tenxiu encouraged them, and with this preliminary promise, everyone was instantly moved.
One by one, the appointed village chiefs and captains began to calculate how much family property they originally possessed, and how much compensation they could receive if they truly worked diligently and retained their positions upon reaching the destination.
If there was really ten times the compensation,
Then, leaving their original hometown,
It didn't seem so unwilling anymore.
For a moment,
The resistance in the hearts of many managers decreased significantly.
“Very good. Next, each of you village chiefs and captains will convey this to the lower positions. Make sure to convey it to every person in the camp. At the same time, there is another important matter: if one person is lost during the journey, the entire Bao Jia will be punished collectively. You must not be careless!”
Uchiha Tenxiu first instructed them, telling them to relay these matters to their subordinates.
Then, Uchiha Tenxiu turned his head, his expression changing to one of stern warning, “If any of your Jia Zhang and Bao Zhang below have problems, you will receive double the punishment for those problems. I hope you will keep a close eye on every person in charge below. Do not say I did not warn you!”
With that said!
Uchiha Tenxiu waved his hand, letting these village chiefs and captains, whose expressions had changed, go down to hold similar meetings.
In an instant, the village chiefs and captains, with faces like they had lost their parents, seemed to have their spines pulled out, and they all drooped their heads and went down to hold meetings.
During this time, curses occasionally erupted, as if they wanted to devour the Bao Zhang and Jia Zhang alive.
And after this meeting ended,
Second River, who had been thoroughly scolded, returned to his team like a defeated rooster, looking disheveled, and likewise began to hold a stern-faced meeting with the people below him.
