Chapter 0097 Portrait

Until dark, Zhou Qingfeng did not come back.

Abahai sent people to the lumber yard construction site outside the city to ask, and learned that Zhou Qingfeng asked the slaves to work in three shifts in order to improve work efficiency. Ordinary slaves with heavy manual labor worked one shift a day and rested, and slave cadres with light manual labor worked two shifts a day to solve the problem of a serious shortage of management personnel at the cost of doubling food consumption, but Zhou Qingfeng thought it was worth it.

"I'll take you to find Zhou boy outside the city." Abahai had a handmaiden and a servant sent from Hetuala, and his heart was filled with confidence. Her first thought was to show it in front of Zhou Qingfeng. It's just that this thought suddenly popped up, and she herself was startled - when did the dignified Jianzhou concubine care so much about that bad boy's opinion?

Darkhan was ordered to come to Zhou Qingfeng and was interested in everything about this kid. When he heard 'three shifts', he asked what it meant.

Abahai called the maid to change his clothes, and after the whole was renewed, he also regained some of his former glory. Under the 'escort' of the Kulen soldiers, she led Dar Khan out of the city to find Zhou Qingfeng, and talked about the 'three shifts' system on the way.

"Zhou Xiaozi took pity on those minions, and told them to rest for an hour every two hours, and stop after working for four hours a day. But he wanted people to work on the site without interruption, so he divided all the slaves into three wheels. I didn't stop even night, and I lit torches until dawn. ”

"You can rest for a total of four hours a day?" Darkhan felt incredible, "I have never seen a master let a slave do such a little work, and it is ordinary to do it from morning to night." ”

Slaves, slaves, how can you call a slave if you don't work for more than a dozen hours a day? But Zhou Qingfeng only let his slaves work for eight hours. Abahai snorted coldly at this: "Don't you know how considerate that kid is for his minions, and he eats, drinks and sleeps well. He said that instead of letting a group of listless slave grinders work all day, it was better to let them work in good spirits for four hours. ”

Darkhan still found it unacceptable, "If you don't work hard, you can't whip it." You have to let them eat and drink, and here are the minions? Besides, how can there be so much food and drink? ”

Yes, in an era of low productivity, the key is that there is not so much food to feed. The essence of slavery was to allow most of the lower class to perform low-paying labor in exchange for the luxury of a small part of the army and the upper echelons.

"Zhou boy has no food." "He's going to train a strong army, and he'll go out and grab it when winter comes." He is quite good at military training, and he has many demagogic methods. At least now the minions are quite convinced and willing to do it with him. ”

Coming out of the city is the bank of the Songhua River, and across the riverbank, you can see the fire of the lumber yard opposite. Abahai and his party crossed the river by boat from the ferry, and when they arrived on the other side, they found that the scene of the entire construction site was amazing.

Under the light of the torches, the first thing I saw was a row of slaves marching towards a cauldron. On either side of the procession of slaves were several slaves armed with leather whips to maintain order. As Darkhan approached the cauldron, he realized that it was a large tank of water burning on a fire, and it seemed to be boiling fish, and the smell was mixed with a strong salty smell.

The slaves in the queue each stepped forward to drink a large bowl of fish soup. Abahai went and asked what was going on? Only then did I know that these slaves were all excellent people who worked during the day, and now they can drink an extra bowl of fish soup when they are resting.

Darkhan unceremoniously asked for a bowl of fish soup, and after taking a sip, he shouted in surprise: "There is really salt, there is really salty salt in this soup." And there's quite a bit of it. This is also what Zhou Xiaozi did? Where did he get so much salt? ”

The Central Plains Dynasty implemented a monopoly on salt and relied on salt taxes to obtain a large amount of wealth. The Jurchen tribes in the north regard salt as an important means of controlling slaves, and they will not take it out easily, let alone give it to slaves generously. And Zhou Qingfeng found that the canteen of the technical school was also pulled in in the isolated island of time and space, and a large amount of refined salt was stored in it.

Abahai knew something inside, but he only thought it was Zhou Qingfeng's Sumeru mustard seed and didn't speak easily. She continued to look for Zhou Qingfeng, and saw Uncle Zhou in a randomly built grass hut who was teaching dozens of slaves.

Straw sheds, muddy floors, pine oil torches, completely sweeping the occasion, but Zhou Qingfeng was as energetic as if he was in a world-class press conference. He stood on an earthen platform, activated the 'electric horn', and taught with extremely enthusiastic words.

"Drink water, always drink boiled water. Don't drink muddy water, even if it looks clean, it can be poisonous. The consequence of drinking water casually is diarrhea, which will toss people to death. From today onwards, we have people who specialize in boiling water, so you all have to drink boiled water. Whoever doesn't drink boiling water, I will pump him and drive him away. ”

"In the future, it is forbidden to defecate in the open, which means that you will give me to the toilet if you poop and pee. You bad and disgusting people don't talk about it, and you are also infected with diseases everywhere. Do you understand? If you have feces and urine, you can't pull it casually, you have to go to a special toilet. I was caught messing around, whipped the first time, and chased away the second time. Go back to the city and suffer. ”

"You also have to remember the team you belong to, and you have to remember clearly for me. In the future, you can't run around casually, you have to line up, you have to act with your classmates, and you have to obey the orders of the chief. ”

"That's all we have to say today. Come on, refresh. Who can repeat what I just said, I have a reward, chief. I gave him sugar water to drink, sweet and sweet sugar water, raise your hand if you want. ”

Zhou Qingfeng's 'electric horn' was like thunder, and the people on the entire construction site couldn't hear it. Abahai and the others rushed over, and the attendants subconsciously went to report. But Abahai stopped him and said, "Don't go, this master has a strange temper." If you interrupt his class, he will get angry. ”

Darkhan also said: "No need to report, let's listen to what Zhou Boy is doing?" ”

Zhou Qingfeng on the stage asked three times in a row, but there was not even a fart at the bottom. He had no choice but to look at the pre-prepared 'support' to make a look, and it took a while for a hand to shrink and stretch out.

"Okay, a classmate has raised his hand, come up and answer." Zhou Qingfeng pulled the slave who raised his hand onto the earthen platform, and asked the other party to speak towards the 'electric horn'. When did the slaves who came to power experience such battles? I was scared and wanted to cry, and stammered and retold the three points that Zhou Qingfeng just said, but I only said that I can't just and pee, and I forgot the other two points.

"What is your name, classmate?"

"Brother Jin."

"Okay, although this Jin Ge classmate only talked a little, he was very brave. I like such brave classmates very much. Come, everyone, give him a little encouragement and take a sip of sugar water. Zhou Qingfeng on the stage slapped his hands, and the slaves below also burst into applause.

Jin Ge cried and drank the sugar water brought by Zhou Qingfeng. As soon as Jin Ge left, Zhou Qingfeng began to shout again, "Who else?" Does anyone remember the three points I just made? As long as you are brave enough to stand up and repeat it to everyone, I will be rewarded. ”

Zhou Qingfeng shouted on the stage for a long time, and finally bewitched some more daring slaves. These slaves are often not very old, and they are greedy, and they dare to raise their hands when they are relatively wary of Zhou Qingfeng. And these people, no matter what the status of their answers, will have sugar water to drink as long as they come to the stage. And he spent an hour just to repeatedly promote the three points he said at the beginning.

Drink boiled water.

Don't defecate in the open.

Collective action.

In order to strengthen these three points, Zhou Qingfeng can be said to have exhausted all his strength and tried his best. The effect ......, as soon as he shouted to disband, the slaves in the audience dispersed in a hurry.

Abahai took advantage of the end of class before he stepped forward to find Zhou Qingfeng and asked, "What are you teaching?" It doesn't seem to be of much use. ”

"You don't understand." Zhou Qingfeng grabbed his water cup to moisten his throat, "Education is not a matter of one or two days, I don't expect these slaves to become obedient in one class." I would set strict discipline for them, and they would be used to living the life I had planned for them. ”

Abahai hates Zhou Qingfeng the most when he says the words 'you don't understand', every time he hears these three words, he can see Zhou Qingfeng's smile with a sense of superiority. She asked again, "What did you just ask the minions to call you?" Aren't you a goat? ”

Zhou Qingfeng was immediately furious, "Abahai, did you do it on purpose?" If you shout again, I'll put you to sleep! ”

knew that Zhou Qingfeng hated this title very much, but Abahai just wanted to shout. She also deliberately called up the maids and minions behind her, even Darkhan. She just wants to make Zhou Qingfeng petty, even if she will be punished afterwards.

Darkhan was embarrassed to death, but when he saw Zhou Qingfeng, he didn't dare to say 'Zhou Boy' anymore, but treated him as a master and kowtowed to the ground. Zhou Qingfeng avoided not being courteous to him and said, "I'm not your master, don't kneel to me." ”

"You are already the master of Ekhkulen, a person valued by the Great Khan, and the master of Darkhan." Darkhan still insisted on kneeling, and after getting up, he bowed his waist and said: "The Great Khan originally wanted to invite you back, but Chu Yingbel didn't agree. The Great Khan asked me to bring a painter over, saying that he wanted to paint a portrait of Bei Ziye and see it with his own eyes. ”

Darkhan said it politely, and there were half-truths and half-truths in his words.

"Paint me a picture?" Zhou Qingfeng's thoughts have always been strange, and he said very energetically: "Okay, okay, it's really good to paint a portrait of me." Where is the artist? ”

The painter was a young man, and he saw Zhou Qingfeng kneeling down as usual. Zhou Qingfeng asked him how he wanted to draw, and he replied that he wanted to draw a seated bust.

"Buts?" Zhou Qingfeng thought of the ugly, majestic, and even more boring busts of the Manchu emperors. He immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, you can't paint me like this." You've got to draw me a nice one. ”

The painter's face was puzzled, and he saw Zhou Qingfeng running to ride his puppet goat over. He took a 'front hoof jumped, back hoofed on the ground, one hand holding the reins, the other waving' posture in front of everyone.

"See? Just draw me like this. Zhou Qingfeng's posture of 'riding a sheep and jumping hooves, scolding Fang Xuan' can't be maintained for a long time, but he has further requirements, "Don't draw my sheep, you imagine this sheep as a horse." By the way, I also need a red cape. Do you know how to draw a cape? You must make my painting more beautiful, and if you paint ugly, you will cut off your head. ”

Even painting a picture can make such a difference, Zhou Qingfeng can really toss. For his special request, Darkhan and Abahai were both stunned, and the painter was even more dumbfounded.......
