Section 119 Dealing with chores
"Since Childe said so, I'll do my best!" When Lao Shi heard this, he had no choice but to accept the task.
Jin Jue took the initiative to take one of the problems to himself, and solved the other problem in advance. Lao Shi had no reason to refuse.
"Hmmm! Go now, and everyone can find ten fast half-sized men from the city and follow you. If you find a suitable place, send someone back immediately, what you need, how many people you need, report it together, and when the time comes, Master Wei will keep an eye on this matter and arrange it for you. Jin Jue bowed his head and commanded.
"No!" As soon as Lao Shi gave up his hand, he took the lead back to the city.
The other bricklayers followed him.
Jin Jue immediately turned to the hundreds of carpenters and said loudly, "Next, it's your carpenter's turn." As Lao Shi said just now, whether you can do a good job in making bricks is also very important. I don't know too well how they were made in the past. However, kneading by hand alone is not only too slow, but also consumes too long time. The cold winter in Luoyang County will not leave us much time.
Therefore, at this time, I can only use your ingenuity and craftsmanship to find ways to improve the efficiency of the task of making bricks and save time as much as possible. If you have any ideas, no matter how bold you are, no matter how deviant you are, you can boldly say what you have ideas, whether you succeed or not, don't you know if you do it, this matter is related to the interests of everyone present, you must not want it, and you can't hide it. ”
After saying that, he shouted to the other craftsmen: "You are the same, if you have any ideas, even if you say them, it doesn't matter whether they are right or wrong, and besides, there is Ben Gongzi in charge of the checks, you don't need to worry." ”
After finishing speaking, Jin Jue let the craftsmen present discuss on their own, he got on the sliding rod, and the guards carried him away again. He knew very well that even if he stayed here, he would be able to provide a lot of insight for the craftsmen beyond his time, but his identity was there, and since ancient times, the common people have been inherently afraid of officials. His stay here would limit the thinking and creativity of the craftsmen, so he chose to stay.
To do this, what Jin Jue can do by himself has been done, and the rest depends on the ability of the craftsmen themselves.
In the same way, when the craftsmen discussed, Wei Dan stayed there not only to play no role, but would be in the way like Jin Jue, so Jin Jue also called him away when he left.
On the way, Wei Dan asked, "Childe, where are you going next?" ”
"Gelding!"
"Gelding?" As soon as he heard these two words, Wei Dan was a little confused.
But when he arrived at the place, he realized that this unexpected little boy really came to see the gelding.
There is no need to keep the remaining ten piglets that have not yet been castrated as comparisons, but this time they will not all be castrated together, but will be castrated in stages, every ten days. This is done to see when castration is the most suitable.
Jin Jue is not very clear about this. Most travelers know that castration is the trick of raising pigs, but not all of them know when the most appropriate time is to castrate piglets.
This experiment will not only be this time, but it will be the same next time.
When castrating the piglets, Jin Jue instructed the craftsmen to transport the piglets to a place far away from the pig farm, so as to save the screams of the piglets during castration from affecting other pigs.
This work was originally done by Lu Huo himself, but now he is no longer personally involved in this matter, and now it is all handed over to a few butchers in the city who have learned quickly. It's just because this time Jin Jue said in advance that he would come over to see it, so Lu Huo came here early to make preparations.
In the sound of the piglet's scream, a young man in his early twenties at most cleanly castrated the piglet with a wrist-untying knife, and someone next to him immediately wiped the blood stains for the piglet and smeared it with medicine. It took less than three minutes in total.
The whole process, Wei Dan didn't witness it with his own eyes, is the gentleman far away from cooking? He covered his ears and closed his eyes, seeing his case, Jin Jue had already allowed him to leave, but he just refused to leave.
"Lu Huo, after those hunters bring back the wild boar king, you should ask people to choose more domestic sows and lock them in a pigsty with the wild boar king, and feed more feed to that pigsty, don't save. Do you understand? When the work was done, Jin Jue nodded with satisfaction and commanded.
Lu Huo nodded and said, "No!" ”
Because there were too few people around him before, Liu Xiongming's ability was limited, and he had too much work, so Jin Jue simply handed over the matter of raising pigs to Lu Huo alone. Unexpectedly, this little eunuch not only has a good memory, but also has a very strong efficiency and ability.
The entire pig farm, from the establishment to the selection of pig gelders and pig breeders, was all carefully selected by Lu Huo from tens of thousands of people. Moreover, the pigsty in the farm was built in strict accordance with the sketches drawn by Jin Jue in advance.
In the words of the people in the city, the pigs in Luoyang County eat better than people and live better than people. Of course, this is just a quip, in fact, the people eat good food, but at present the city does not allow everyone to eat, and the feed in the pig farm is either weeds collected from the mountains or old grain that has been stored in the warehouse for more than three years.
The previous county Cheng and the local squires were secretly making trouble, and almost all the stored grain in the treasury of Luoyang County was replaced with rotten and musty old grain, such grain, Jin Jue resolutely did not distribute it to the people for consumption, and pigs are omnivores, and the digestion ability of the stomach is stronger than that of people.
……
An hour later, someone came to report that most of the bricklayers had found a suitable place to build a brick kiln outside the city, and they had sent people back to ask for enough manpower and materials. Because Jin Jue and Wei Dan are here, their subordinates can only come here to ask Jin Jue.
"Master Wei, you are solely responsible for this matter! You remember one thing, what those craftsmen want, what you give, I only look at the results. If there is a problem among them that is difficult to solve, you can send someone to ask me. Jin Jue directly threw the burden on Wei Dan's shoulders and commanded.
He is a very lazy person himself, and he can resolutely leave it to his subordinates without having to come forward himself.
But at this moment, someone hurriedly reported: "Report, Gongzi, the Yan Gongzi who left before is back?" ”
