When he approached, Man Yuan noticed Chen Jian's arrival, hurriedly dispersed the group of people, and ran to Chen Jian's side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

His heart skipped a slight beat, and he subconsciously glanced at Jian Chen's hand wrapped in sackcloth, and asked, "What's wrong with Ji Xia's hand?" ”

"Nothing. I accidentally bumped into a clay pot yesterday. What are you doing? ”

"Ji Xia, I'm teaching them to read. Also, according to the rules of Xia Cheng, I am repairing the canal, and when the canal is completed, I will dig a large ditch to produce more food in the future. ”

Jian Chen smiled and said, "Well, I saw it, but the method is not quite right." I don't think they want to learn. Again, is it unnecessary for you to force them to get wooden brushes? In fact, stone charcoal will also do. ”

Man Yuan nodded and said, "yes, I'm too stupid. Hey, I tried my best to do so many things, but I didn't do it well. ”

Jian Chen was not angry, and said with a smile: "I can see it, this is my fault, I didn't make it clear what you want to do." It seems that you are not suitable for the village farm, at least you have not learned how to manage it. ”

Man Yuan didn't speak, and after a while, the old people of Xia Cheng in the village farm all arrived, and they lowered their heads one by one.

Jian Chen stared at them with a smile and said, "It seems that you still need to continue studying." Well, I just heard that the wheat seedlings here grow earlier, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive the winter, so I came to take a look. It's still my fault, I shouldn't say anything about the autumn equinox when it's time to plant wheat. ”

Those people were silent, only Manyuan replied: "We are also a little anxious, and we feel that if we plant wheat earlier, we can also feed Yucheng." ”

Jian Chen waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of mistakes, but I'm afraid of making mistakes and not correcting them." It's good to change, you are still the best group of young people in Xia City, and there is still a long way to go in the future. ”

In the words, the faces of several people changed slightly, and Jian Chen didn't give them a chance to speak: "Prepare some food, I'm hungry, I haven't eaten all the way." ”

He looked up and pointed to a clearing not far away, "Well, let them build a few big houses there, while the sky is still freezing, this should be done, right?" If I don't do well, I'll mobilize a few masons from Yucheng. ”

Manyuan hurriedly returned: "This can be done." I just don't know what Ji Xia is doing in this house? ”

"Leave this alone. You just have to do it, the mud is fine, so many people, can it be repaired in five days? ”

"Yes."

"That's okay, let's prepare the meal first, after eating, I'll go to other villages and communities to see the situation over there."

After lunch, the meaningless work on the dry and cold land finally stopped, and Chen Jian left the confused Manyuan and the others, and left with the black-clothed guards to the rest of the farm.

Almost every farm was carved out of a mold, and the answers he got were similar, and Jian Chen didn't get angry, so he turned around a few times.

Manyuan's farm was the center of several farms, and the closest to Yucheng, and the only difference in location was that Manyuan's farm was required to build a few huts, while the rest of the farms did not do these things.

But not building a house does not mean that there are no earth-shaking changes, after two days of investigation, Chen Jian returned to Yucheng, and selected forty young people with very low rank and low official rank from the few old people in Xiacheng.

These young people can only rule twenty people in the Yucheng workshop, and they are not smart and do not have the ability to rule more people.

These people can only follow the steps and may be able to complete the tasks assigned above, but it is difficult for them to do better. There are many people, but it is undeniable that people have unchangeable inequalities from birth, such as IQ, mind, learning ability, etc., so Chen Jian is full of expectations for the best of the new generation such as Manyuan Jiyun.

So far, they can only use their newly selected young people who are not suitable for high-ranking officials at all.

Eight more men were drawn from the black-clothed guards, each divided into five people, and sent them to the various farms, with only one task: to watch over what those people had done before, without making any changes, to distribute food and control them to prevent them from resisting and fleeing, including the continuous digging of canals.

It's a very simple task, these people know what to do, they just need to do it according to the rules, it's not that difficult.

The management of all the previous farms was transferred out of the original farm and went to Manyuan's farm, for the simple reason that your management went wrong, you made mistakes, and the mistakes proved that you need to learn again. Retain your rank and honor, and treat everything as before, when you realize your mistakes, when you understand what you have learned, and when you are qualified to be a real official again.

This is also done in accordance with the rules, Chen Jian's handling of this incident is an ordinary farming accident, and they are sentenced to punishment without investigating what he thinks in his heart.

Even if the name is justified, those people can't object, but the offensive and defensive alliance of the small circle inside has been formed. They have already discussed with each other, no matter how Chen Jian talks to them, he resolutely refuses to admit that he is a passive confrontation, and says that he has made a mistake by following what Chen Jian said.

Unexpectedly, Jian Chen didn't talk to them alone at all, but just sent someone to inform them that they would hand over to the newcomers sent within three days, and all of them would go to the farm where Manyuan was located.

Three days later, in the wooden hut that was still a little damp and ventilated, the officials of the original farm sat quietly in it, and Manyuan did not expect that the house he had built would become his residence.

Jian Chen stood in front of everyone, and several black-clothed guards stood guard at the door.

"These days, I've been thinking, why do you make such a mistake?"

"After thinking about it for a long time, I finally figured out that you have been out of labor for so long that you don't know how to dig canals, how to make farm tools, when to open up wasteland and when to plant. In my opinion, let you continue to study and work while you retain the rank of knight and official, and let the work transform your minds. ”

Those people were immediately frightened and asked, "Ji Xia, what do you mean?" Are we going to work with these slave-like peasants? ”

Jian Chen nodded and said, "That's right, but this is not punishment, this is learning." What is Learning? In addition to learning words and arithmetic, you also have to learn how to farm, and that's what you do. If you don't know how to farm, how can you manage the farm? ”

"Don't worry, you are just labor reform, and all the benefits are still reserved for you. Now it's the black-clothed guards and some young men who are in charge of you, and when you learn it, they will naturally let you go back. ”

A group of people looked at each other, they didn't expect it to be such a result, many people have been out of front-line labor for two or three years, as the most valued young people in the city, they have always been the management, everyone knows that they will manage people in the future, where did they think that Chen Jian would let them come here to work?

After a while, the grumbling of dissatisfaction was chaotic, and Jian Chen slapped the plank with his uninjured left hand and shouted, "What are you twittering?" ”

"Ji Xia, we already know that we are wrong, and we will definitely be able to manage the farm when we go back. Where will we not farm? We all planted when we were in Summer City...... It's just that...... It's just that I didn't expect it to be warmer here than Xia Cheng, which led to the early planting of wheat. ”

Jian Chen snorted and said, "That's it? I thought that if you admit your mistakes, then it is not impossible to go back now, but now that you look at it, you still don't realize that you are wrong! Labor reform is necessary! ”

"You have food and clothing here, and you have at least the treatment of an eighth-class lord, and you won't starve to death anyway! Think about where you got your food and clothing? It was so many clansmen in Xia Cheng who worked hard to make it for you, and changed it for food and clothing for you. What about you? I asked you to do something on the farm, and you were reluctant to do it. ”

"From the beginning of Xia Cheng to the present, not counting those slaves, how many people have died in our Xia City people in battles and labor? What did they die for? Isn't it to make life better for every Xia Cheng countryman? What about you? It's just that you are told to come to the farm and start from scratch, compared to those dead people, what is your suffering? ”

"Everyone is working, in Yucheng, our old Chinese people get up before dawn every day, for what? Isn't it because we don't have enough food and need to be used as a workshop and an outside city for exchange? What about you? I said that you can do a little bit, and you don't have the momentum when Xia Cheng was first built, and what you think about every day is how to mix until the next day. ”

"It's like these rooms, this is where you will live in the future, but you didn't know it before, so you built it and leaked everywhere. Can't even build a room? Or did I say that building a house is going to leak everywhere? ”

"Well, haven't you forgotten the most basic work? Don't you know how to adapt to local conditions? I'll teach you. ”

"Ji Bai! In! ”

Ji Bai, who was expressionless, walked in with a bronze sword in his hand, and Chen Jian pointed to the people below: "I'll leave you fifteen people." Watch them labor reform. ”

"Remember, they are not slaves, they are our countrymen. There are people who are higher than you, and everything is treated the same as before. I have already told the people of the Supply and Marketing Division to mobilize four cooks to take care of your meals. ”

"But, except for the two days of rest, the rest of the time was spent working with the people of these farms. When did you know how to farm and build a house, how to manage the farm, how to make the farm more productive, and when did you regain the qualifications to manage the farm? ”

"Didn't you have people dig ditches with stones in such weather? Okay, tomorrow you will dig too! This is what you have set, how can you not do it? ”

The crowd was in chaos, and Jian Chen drew Ji Bai's copper sword and slashed it on the wood and shouted, "What are you shouting? Whoever has an opinion stands up and says. ”

The room fell silent, and Chen Jian spread his hands and said, "I repeat, this is not a punishment for you, is it a punishment for officials to work with farmers?" I did not beat or scold you, but I kept your rank and rank. Who thinks that what they have learned understands and can go back to management, and they feel that they will not make such a mistake again, come to me alone to talk! (To be continued.) )
