Scheduling?

Wu Ning has heard people talk about scheduling countless times in the past few days, but he really doesn't know what "scheduling" is.

Curious, he sat on the bow of the boat and talked with the boss of the boat.

And the boss of the boat is not a man of few words, he is not shocked when he sees Wu Ning in danger, and he still has the heart to chat with him, but he also looks at it a few times, and talks with him while supporting the boat.

From this, Wu Ning also knew that these so-called gang Jiang bandits were not as vicious and bullying as rumored outside, and they were just some honest and honest Jiangshang people who held a group for their livelihood.

The same is to exert strength and rely on ability to eat.

As for what a platoon is, the ship boss has sold it.

Seeing that there was a sharp bend ahead, the boat boss looked up at Richen and said to Wu Ning: "If Xiao Langjun wants to know what a platoon is, please take a look for yourself!" ”

After saying that, he shouted at the slender man on the shore, and the entire fleet slowly dropped anchor and stopped.

What made Wu Ning even more puzzled was that the time was not over at this time, and it was not yet nine o'clock in the morning when converted into the time after the world. The boatmen and slender men actually took out rice and grain pots and stoves and cooked on the shore.

That's a bit early, right?

"Xiao Langjun, don't worry, turn the river bend and enter Xiling Gorge, which is the real Three Gorges natural danger, we can't get through it before noon."

"......" Wu Ning had no choice but to be arranged by the boss of the ship.

When he returned to the cabin and told everyone, the people who didn't dare to stay outside the cabin heard about the danger of the boat, but they didn't complain, and rushed out of the cabin one by one and stood at the bow of the boat to watch the scene.

As a result, the ladies on the ship were embarrassed.

For this meal, the boatmen and slender men ate excellent, with wine and meat, and steamed cakes with white flour.

I saw that they were not in a hurry to eat after they had finished eating, but first served a single portion of noodles and visited the canyon, and the old man of the boat lit incense and offered wine to worship the gods.

In the words of the boat boss, although this Xiling Gorge is the first danger against the current, it is the most dangerous section of the Three Gorges.

The reefs in the gorge are scattered, the shallows are dense, and the waterways are narrow, and one is not very good, that is, the ship is wrecked and people die.

The old boatmen all care that Xiling Gorge wants to be a ghost head beach, and if they can get in and out, it depends on whether the gods reward their faces.

......

Hearing this, Wu Ning, Taiping and the others were stunned, and they all wanted to go back.

The shipwrights ate the sacrificial meal, and it was half past the hour.

At this time, the boat boss listened to the river breeze with his ears sideways, "Here, doesn't Xiao Langjun want to see the arrangement?" But look closely! ”

As he spoke, Wu Ning vaguely heard bursts of singing from the other end of the river bend.

"Sit next to my sister, say to my sister, tie a stick and poke my sister's feet..."

"Poke it, she didn't provoke, poke it twice, she didn't say, put down the stick and touch it with her hands..."

"Hah!!" Wu Ning laughed out loud when he heard it.

This is a serious folk tune, and it is also a meat tune.

The lyrics are crude, but they are intimate and simple. At this time, accompanied by the river wind and waves, melodious echoing in the distant mountains and valleys, the taste is simply amazing!!

Even Taiping, although Qin Miaoniang was a little hot, she was also attracted by listening carefully.

Wu Ning listened attentively, and suddenly, the ship's boss also opened his throat and sang together with the boatman.

"Yesterday I crossed the ditch with my sister, and the two of them looked down at the water...."

"Lang wants to dig a well with a spade, and my sister wants a long stream of water...."

"The date of the heavenly stem is later..."

"Hahahaha!!"

Wu Ningle can't do it, "Happy!" ”

"What's the fun!" Taiping glanced at him and said angrily, "What kind of mess is it that you sing!" ”

After saying that, I also laughed.

Not to mention how to rap, the momentum of the people on the river alone is something she has never seen in her life.

Just thinking about it, the platoon worker at the other end of the river bend finally showed his head with the singing.

"Look!!"

Princess Taiping exclaimed, her eyes straightened.

Everyone looked for it, and they also gasped.

"Shhhhh

Wu Ning finally knew what a platoon was, and finally understood why the boat boss had such superb boat management skills, why he said that he could only mix with a platoon for another ten years.

This is a god, and it is definitely not a point that can be achieved by manpower!!

......

It was a small bamboo raft, and on the raft stood three men shirtless with only a pair of autumn pants. Two people at the helm, one person with a pole, flashed out from behind the cliff of the river bend.

On the surface of the river behind the three men, huge logs that are innumerable, several zhang long, and a few feet thick, are tied together side by side or end to end with rattan chains, led by the bamboo raft, and fly straight down the turbulent river.

Beauty!

So beautiful!!

It's like a feather floating on the river, light and agile.

However, the feather was too big and too big to be speechless.

Wu Ning visually measured that from the bamboo raft to the end of the row, it was at least 100 zhang long, and the widest part occupied almost half of the river.

And the control of thousands of giant trees down the river is just a small bamboo raft at the head of the row, and the three men on the bamboo raft.

"Awesome!"

Wu Ning admired from the bottom of his heart, and he was really awesome.

In his previous life, Wu Laojiu read a question on Zhihu, saying that the creativity and wisdom of Chinese civilization really have anything to do with the "vast number of working people"? At least, all he saw was the ignorance and old-fashionedness of the mountain people and villagers.

Now, Wu Ning has a hint of enlightenment, who is saying this in the future, who is in a hurry.

The person who said this is really stupid!

Now Wu Ning feels that civilization is not "the one who cares", at least not all of it.

Confucianism is civilization, Buddhism is civilization, and the change of dynasties of the emperor is civilization.

However, from the straight plough to the curved plough is also civilization, from the shoulder to the wheel, from a cart to a thousand rows, it is also a civilization.

Isn't this the wisdom of the broad masses of working people? What is not the folk culture of China?

"Awesome! It's really awesome! ”

Wu Ning smashed his mouth and said in his heart: This job is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Turning his head to look at the boat boss, at this time, he was looking at the platoon workers on the river with envy, and his mouth was still muttering: "Alas, when can we be the platoon leader?" ”

Wu Ning couldn't help but say, "The boss of the ship is not afraid of danger? ”

The hundred-zhang long giant row, he was terrified when he watched it by the river, let alone standing on a bamboo raft to control it.

If something is not enough, not only will the trees be destroyed, but people will also have to avoid it, and they have to be turned into meat sauce by the giant trees behind.

Therefore, the platoon not only requires superb skills, but also has the courage that ordinary people can't match.

When the boat boss heard this, he immediately said: "What Xiao Langjun said, but I don't like it." ”

Pointing to this high gorge and steep, "Who is begging for a living here, who is not carrying his life to live?" ”

Wu Ning said: "It is safer to hold the boat than to release the row." ”

"But I make a lot of money by putting it down!" The boss of the boat is also real, and said directly, "I'm not afraid of Xiao Langjun's jokes, it's better to go to a row to support the boat for half a year." ”

"Except for a small part to be handed over to the gang, the rest, it is all their own, of course the Jiangshang people want to earn more."

"Oh." Wu Ning understood. Think about it. And it is.

Put a row, thousands of woods, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the heavy mountains and mountains of Bashu. Even if it is placed in the future and transported by train, it will definitely be a lot of freight.

It is not difficult to imagine that the scheduling of workers can indeed earn a lot of money on this trip.

"The rules of our platoon gang, don't go on a boat in the morning, and don't go in a row after noon."

At this time, the boat boss had already beckoned the slender man and was ready to hit the road.
