In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

Whether or not a child can be credited is a very important matter. The people of Beicheng who were queuing up, including the villagers who were carrying supplies and preparing to leave, all stopped and stared intently at the soldiers.

Seeing everyone looking at him, the soldier knew he had probably achieved his goal for the day. He immediately cleared his throat and said, "The child's contributions will naturally be recorded. As long as a contribution is made, it will be recorded, no matter how small!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone present lit up, and they immediately echoed, "We understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier saw many civilians hurriedly leaving the group, apparently to go home and call their children.

……

Su Li stood in front of the mansion gate, having a clear view of the commotion outside. She nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the effect she wanted. For the work-point system to be implemented smoothly, the people's approval was crucial.

Today, the General's Mansion is distributing supplies, and everyone in the queue has come. They are currently lining up to receive their supplies.

During this period, everyone did different work, so the amount they received was also different. If everyone in a household worked for the team, then they would receive more. However, some households with more than ten people received less than other households with fewer people.

Unequal distribution will naturally lead to conflicts, just like right now, where someone is causing trouble.

"Why do they have cotton-padded coats but I don't? I did work too!" a man said angrily. If it weren't for the soldiers watching him closely, he probably would have rushed forward to grab the coats.

Su Li watched this scene from afar, and saw the soldier say indifferently, "You scoundrel, you know what you've done. You still want to get cotton clothes? We're already being kind by giving you the grain you have."

"If the general hadn't said he would ensure your food and clothing during this period, you wouldn't have received this food!"

The soldier's directness made Lai Zi's movements stop abruptly. He said in disbelief, "But you never said anything about distributing supplies like this before. Didn't we always eat together?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier sneered and said, "Before, we were on the road and I didn't have time to deal with you, so you took advantage of me quite a bit. Now you want to take advantage of me again? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Upon hearing this, Lai Zi was speechless. He knew what he had done, and with so many people watching, he was too ashamed to admit that he had accomplished so much.

But without a cotton-padded coat, how would he get through the winter? Lai Zi felt somewhat desperate and could only soften his tone, saying, "But how will I get through the winter without a cotton-padded coat? This winter is so cold, what should I do?"

Many people didn't receive cotton-padded clothes, and they were speechless at the moment, but they couldn't just wait to die!

"There's firewood to gather on the mountain. If you work hard during this time, you can stock up on firewood at home and get through the winter smoothly," the soldier said calmly.

Upon hearing this, those who did not receive the cotton-padded clothes were disappointed but did not utter a word of rebuttal. They were planning to go up the mountain to collect firewood after receiving the supplies.

"Unless there are special circumstances, supplies will be allocated based on how much work is done. The more you do, the more you get, and the less you do, the less you get. If anyone has any objections, they can raise them directly. If not, then just work hard," the soldier said frankly.

Those who have survived to this day are not fools, and naturally understand the meaning of these words. They quickly nodded and said, "We understand, and we will take it seriously from now on."

……

This interlude passed just like that, and everyone present understood a truth: if you want to live, you have to work hard; if you don't work hard, you won't get anything.

Having received their allocated supplies, Aunt Liu and the others, who were preparing to go home, couldn't help but feel fortunate. They were grateful for their past efforts and also knew one thing: Su Li's words were not a joke, and now they had all come true.

After today's experience, Aunt Liu and the others decided to work even harder in the future, not for anything else, but just to make the most of the supplies they received.

Unsure of what Aunt Liu and the others were thinking, Su Li returned to her room after watching the commotion outside. She had a side room prepared and gathered some craftsmen to work on developing a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).

The visitor was an old acquaintance, Craftsman Zhao. They had worked together on the carriage renovation project before, which made communication easier.

"Uncle Zhao, please take a look and see if we can make what's on this blueprint!" Su Li handed the blueprint to craftsman Zhao for inspection.

Having received instructions and guidance from Zhao Zexuan before arriving, craftsman Zhao naturally understood the importance of the matter. He took the blueprints and studied them carefully, occasionally discussing them with his assistant.

After discussing for a while, Craftsman Zhao said, "This is the first time I've encountered such a design. We can give it a try, but I can't guarantee that we can make it 100% successful!"

Upon hearing this, Su Li said, "Uncle Zhao, please feel free to try. Just ask me what materials you need, and if you have any questions about the structure, let's work together."

Upon hearing this, craftsman Zhao replied, "Alright, we will."

Leave professional matters to professionals. Even if you know the principles, you still lack experience when it comes to actually doing it. So Su Li simply didn't get involved and just observed from the side.

Making a kang (heated brick bed) is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Even with many people helping, it still took six days. During these six days, Su Li not only kept track of the progress of the kang, but also thoroughly implemented the work point system.

The work point system was something that only Aunt Liu and a few others had some recollection of; the rest of the people had never heard of it before, so the matter was discussed in the city for three or four days.

……

Aunt Liu and the others are currently discussing the work point system. They don't quite understand how work points are calculated.

Su Li had previously told them that if they did a good job, they would become squad leaders, each in charge of different responsibilities. If they were to become squad leaders, they would definitely need to clarify the matter of work points.

Because people knew what Aunt Liu and her colleagues had been doing in the team recently, many people came to their door to inquire about the details.

They were asked many times throughout the day, and Aunt Liu and the others couldn't answer several times. So, during their free time, they gathered together to discuss whether they should go to Su Li to ask about the situation.

“After this system came out, everyone was very concerned and didn’t quite understand the concept. I didn’t dare to answer the questions they asked easily, for fear of giving the wrong answer. Do you think we should go and ask Su Li about the situation?” Aunt Wang said with a conflicted look.

Hearing this, Aunt Liu nodded and said, "Many people have come to ask me this too, and many strangers from Beicheng have come to ask. I haven't given them a specific answer yet. We really need to ask Su Li. We can't make a decision about this."

"If we can't make a decision, let's go ask them!" the others chimed in.

After discussing it, they all decided to go, and they acted immediately. Soon, the group packed their things and arrived outside the General's Mansion.

The timing of their arrival was perfect, as Su Li was also preparing to talk to them about some things, so she invited them into the mansion.

Seeing the restless expressions on Aunt Liu's and the others' faces, Su Li said directly, "You ladies have come here to ask about the work point system, right?"
