Chapter 14: Xie Papi
Cotton cracking usually takes five to seven days to start harvesting, as Sheffield told him about when he went to Kazakhstan to survey local stocks. These few days are also the most vulnerable time for cotton, and a sudden heavy rain can wipe out the hard work of the plantation.
"Lao Tzu has worked hard to build houses to improve your living environment, if you can't finish this little work, I'm so sorry!" Sheffield put his hands on his waist and announced to all the black slaves that he was going to put them in prison, no, to let them live in a new house, and received a warm response.
In front of a pair of black slaves, Sheffield had the feeling of an African chieftain, and in fact it was not much different. "Within a week, the cotton on the plantation will be harvested, and then I promise you will all move into your new home......" Looking at the nearly 100 black slaves on the cotton plantation, Sheffield began to make a wish with a big mouth. It's just over a thousand acres of cotton fields, and each person is responsible for a dozen acres. No more than five or six hectares of land were allocated to each person, and these people could not be tired.
I believe that working from morning to night in a day, one hectare of cotton land per person should be able to be completed! After a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, Sheffield felt that there was nothing wrong with his arithmetic level. It's a big deal to get a little less sleep, and add two working hours a day. For the sake of the master's profit, there is nothing wrong with these black slaves sacrificing at all, right?
Then Sheffield announced the disbandment while the group of black slaves was still excited, and went directly back to the house, took out a fairy tale and lay on the bed, and after a while he was dazed, threw the fairy tale aside and began to sleep, tomorrow and tomorrow.
Maybe it's because of the things in my heart, Sheffield slept very badly this night, and opened his eyes before dawn, if the current brightness is okay, he should be able to see the bloodshot on the eyeballs, "It's three o'clock!" "All the houses on the plantation have no electricity, except for the machines for processing cotton, which of course is the masterpiece of old Sheffield.
Lighting the kerosene lamp, Sheffield counted the time of dawn by the dim light, "Fifteen minutes to rest!" Fifteen minutes later, Sheffield got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and the cold water removed the drowsiness from his body, which made him feel a lot more refreshed.
Sheffield, who was dressed, opened the door, it was still dark outside, but he could already see the cotton in the field, Sheffield walked out of the door and came to the door of Westin, regardless of whether the other party was exercising in the morning, whether he would be scared or not, he directly kicked the door and shouted, "Brother Westin, get up, call the black slave to work......"
Sheffield was in the dark, he was not fighting alone at this time, Zhou Papi, Huang Shiren, and Hu Hansan were possessed by their souls at this moment, and he represented the glorious slave owners of the United States, and it was under the leadership of these slave owners that the thirteen states of North America achieved great victories and began to stand tall in the world as a hopeful country.
"A bunch of niggers, all of them got up for me, and they were as lazy as stupid pigs, and they got up to work!" Sheffield and Westin got dressed and immediately took the white overseers with guns to the houses where black slaves lived and kicked in the doors.
"Hurry, hurry, get down to work! The sooner you finish, the sooner you rest! Sheffield stood at the end of the cotton field and shouted, "I don't ask you to do more today, one hundred and fifty acres of cotton must be harvested quickly, and everyone is not allowed to eat until the area is finished, and one hundred and fifty acres is not allowed to sleep until it is finished......
Before the black slave complained, the white overseers around Westin all picked up their guns, and if they didn't agree with each other, they were ready to teach the black slaves to be a human being, and directly held back all their dissatisfaction.
"Edward, sometimes you can't treat them as human beings!" Watching the black slaves honestly work in the fields, Westin said proudly, "The influence of love is very important, but the horsewhip is also very important!" ”
Sheffield had to look up at Westin at this time, this is another way of saying carrots and sticks, I didn't expect Westin to have a talent in this area, if the Confederate States of America were established, maybe Westin was a good politician, he could go to the Soviet Union to work on a collective farm or go directly to the Celestial Empire to be a village chief.
In fact, Sheffield was also quite hard, although he did not directly participate in the labor, and the environment was the same as that of the black slaves, the same as the sun in the field, "Hurry up, hurry up!" After a week of hard work, when the harvest is over, you can build your own house! ”
Sheffield's loyal dog leg Lincoln shouted hard in the field, and from time to time came to a lazy black slave behind his feet and put his feet on it, Sheffield looked at all this indifferently with his hands on his shoulders, and gnawed an apple when he was thirsty, of course, he would not waste food if he was merciful, and saw a little black slave looking at the apple in his hand with a fierce ideological struggle, and after a fierce ideological struggle, Sheffield took out another one from his pocket, cut it in half with a knife, and let the little black slave next to him share it with his little friend.
"I'm such a good person! How merciful! Sheffield rattled on another bite of the apple, and sighed self-indulgently, this is simply the best side of a great slave owner with three correct views, and when the little black slave left, Sheffield shouted, "If you don't finish the harvest of one hundred and fifty acres today, you are not allowed to eat, and when you finish eating!" Did you hear it......"
"Grass**, I can't give you a good face every day!" Sheffield scolded dryly, and stupidly put the remaining apples still on the ground, and the sweaty male and female black slaves in the cotton field kept picking their hands and feet in the white cotton, hoping that they could finish it quickly today and be able to have dinner.
At noon, the black slaves, who had been working for eight hours, heard the sound of the bell, and they were finally relieved when they were hungry, it was time for lunch, "Everyone has seen it, there are apples for lunch today, some of you already have children, as a benevolent master, I don't mind taking out some fruit for the children to eat, but this must be based on my ability, I still say the same thing, if you don't finish the task of harvesting one hundred and fifty acres today, don't eat!" In all fairness, I reluctantly accepted this morning's work, and I believe that by 11 p.m., you will be able to get today's food......"
