After the start of construction, Niu Da carried a basket on his back and came down from the mountain slowly.

With his body and strength, he can carry this small backpack even if it is twice as big.

But according to his previous experience of hard labor, no amount of work was of any use.

It takes a lot of work, a lot of energy, a hungry stomach, and can't eat more, so it's better to deal with things like him.

In the past, as long as he could avoid the overseer's whip, he also had an immature way to avoid the overseer's surveillance.

But then it turned out that his method didn't work here.

There's no overseer here.

It's just for them to do whatever they want.

Only Yang Tou took ten people to check each basket at the end of the dissatisfaction, if it is dissatisfied, this basket is considered to be in vain, and after pouring the stone, it will be carried again, that's all.

As for how to quarry, whether the pace is fast or slow, whether you want to rest for a while when you are tired, no one cares.

Niu Da has served more than ten years of hard labor, and it is the first time he has encountered such a loose construction site.

However, although no one took care of it, the task of five thousand baskets of one hundred of them still had to be completed, otherwise it was said that the grain would be withheld.

You can't leave a reason for the government to deduct grain, or else you won't deduct it to death?

The 100 people in their group were all young men who were strong and strong, and although they were working hard, the sun was just turning west, and it was estimated that there were more than 4,000 baskets.

It doesn't work.

At this pace, it will be completed in less than half an hour, and there will be no way to wait for it to get dark.

No matter how loose the management is here, it is impossible to watch them sit for half an afternoon, right?

At this time, he saw his younger brother Niu Er carrying a basket on his back, bending over, and constantly wiping his sweat.

Niu Da is funny when he sees it, and this performance is too fake.

At this time, where does this little work come from?

And Niu Er is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and his figure is stronger than him, and it is when he can't finish his strength that Niu Er will not be pressed into that shape with three back baskets.

It seems that the younger brother is not stupid at all, and he has learned to be lazy.

That's how it should be, anyway, it's useless to do more, and it takes more effort and more food to eat.

Not cost-effective!

The people are not stupid, while Yang Xing is counting, they also have a person in charge of counting, otherwise they can't work blindfolded, and they don't know how much they do.

Niu Er knows how to count, and he is responsible for counting in their group, and he knows how much he has completed better than Niu Da.

When the two brothers staggered, they winked at each other.

Understand, keep grinding!

And I have to walk slower, bend my waist more, and act more like it.

Finally, after grinding until dark, a hundred of them were arranged into a separate tent.

Niu Da went to receive two stones of grain on behalf of their group, and Niu Da carried it back.

This day is lazy, as if I didn't work.

They were quite surprised to receive two stones of grain as they wished, because before Yanzhou relief, young and strong men were only eight taels of grain per person per day, barely able to hang their lives.

Although I didn't put much effort here, it was not the same as lying idle at home before, and it always took some energy.

However, two catties of grain can be close to full for most people.

It's much better than being hungry and idle at home.

But most people obviously don't include the young and strong people like Niu Da Niu Er, and for the two of them, two catties of grain are still half full.

They are large in size and eat a lot of food, and as long as they move, they exert great strength.

They should have been able to carry more baskets, but they were unwilling to put in more effort and insisted on carrying as much as others.

As a result, in this tent, most of the people were smiling happily with small cloth bags, and only their brothers had the same face as if they had eaten coptis.

Niu Da Niu and Niu each held a small cloth bag containing two catties of grain and looked at each other.

Looking at the same amount of food as others, I always feel that this account is not right.

But what is wrong, they can't tell.

It's fair to do the same work and get the same food.

Is it to blame their brother for eating a lot?

"Brother Niu," at this time, a young man from the same village ran in, panting and said, "I look at the tent next door, and I have received more than 300 catties of food, is it Yang Tou who bullied us?" Deliberately withholding our rations? ”

"What?" Niu Da was stunned when he heard this, and then muttered: "No, I said that I will carry five thousand back basket stones and give two stones of grain, and this grain is still weighed by me."

Yang Tou did what he said, and he didn't deduct us.

Let's go over there and see what's going on. ”

They couldn't hold back their doubts and went to the tent next door.

Although the people are divided into groups, most of them are divided by their own villages.

After all, staying together in the same village and helping each other will not be bullied.

Niu Da came in and saw that these people were from an unknown village in their county, and although they had seen them before, they couldn't name them.

The tent was very lively, everyone was smiling from ear to ear, and in the small pockets in front of everyone, there was indeed much more food than theirs.

There was a young man in the corner doing a handstand, and the front pocket was even more exaggerated, and it was almost full.

"What are you doing here?" Niu pointed to the upside-down young man in confusion.

No one can eat enough in these years, and they are still in the mood to play handstands?

"That's my brother, this is my punishment for him!" There was a young man who looked familiar, and said to Niu Da with a smile.

"Punishment? But why is his pocket almost full? Also, how do you have so much more food than we do? ”

"You don't know," said the young man triumphantly, "I originally asked my brother to count, but he made a mistake in his memory, and we carried an extra three thousand baskets."

And guess what?

Yang Touren remembered it clearly, and when he distributed the grain, he gave us more than 100 catties.

I have clear rewards and punishments, and I should be punished if I remember the wrong number, but if I accidentally get more food, I should be rewarded, so I punished him for doing a handstand there. ”

"Huh?"

When Niu Da Niu and the others heard this, their mouths opened wide, and the whole person felt bad.

It turns out that the county guard didn't deceive people, and if he carried more, he could really get more food!

That's a little too ironic.

They were thinking about how to be lazy and how to do it all day.

Obviously they can carry two or even three baskets, but they insist on carrying one, and they still pretend to bend their waists.

If you put in a little effort, you can complete the task at noon, but you have to grind until dark.

If you use all your strength, you can say 5,000 baskets, even if you want 10,000 baskets.

Isn't it true that each person has lost two catties of grain?

Niu Da felt a little pain in his chest, and couldn't help but slap the stunned Niu Er's big head: "It's also my younger brother, who made the plan so clear?" ”

Niu Er: "??? ”

The count is not clear, so why should he be counted?

"Brother Niu, take us to find Yang Touren, we are not tired, let's work overnight."

"Yes, I'll go as if I didn't do anything that day."

After a group of people were convinced that they could really get more food by doing more, they all understood that today they were probably smart but were mistaken by cleverness.

So I thought I could make up for it overnight.

Anyway, they didn't use all their strength today, and they didn't feel much tired now.

……

After Yang Xing finished distributing the grain, he sat at the door in a daze, worried.

What he was worried about finally happened, and the five thousand people couldn't see it, and they were really grinding.

The five big and three thick men, carrying a basket on their backs are like children's toys, and they are bent over and slumped over in pretends, who can't see it?

It seems that although the county warden asked him to consider it with food, no one seems to believe that more work can get more food.

No one really works hard by rewarding more food, doesn't it mean that he, the leader, is too wasteful, how can he be worthy of such a wrong love for the county guard?

was thinking about a plan, and suddenly saw a group of people coming in the distance......
