Chapter Twenty-Nine: Busy for the Old Lady (I)
After Lao Cai and Ah Sew received the news, they also came over the next day to sign their names on the contract, and as for Vader, because he was not yet an adult, he was signed by his mother Ah Se. According to Shelley, this is called the signing of the guardian agency, and after the year of Weida, if he is still willing to follow Shelley, he can sign the contract himself.
After the two signed the contract, Shelley was in no hurry to let them go back, because there was something to arrange for them to do.
"Lao Cai, at the moment, except for the manufacturing department in charge of Lao Liu and Lao Mu, there are the most people under you, how are you mobilized?"
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I have taught all the new farmland management knowledge you instructed before, and everyone is waiting for the actual operation. And according to your request, we have collected all the cattle from the town, a total of 14 heads. ”
Shelley raised his eyebrows and asked with a little meaning, "No one has questioned my knowledge?" ”
Lao Cai's face stiffened, and he said a little embarrassedly: "I still haven't been able to hide it from you, there are indeed many people who think your method is too ...... It's too new. ”
"Don't be subtle, they don't believe that my field can grow anything, do they?"
"Uh...... This ...... "Lao Cai" is really not good at words, so he can only turn his eyes for help to Ah Suan on the side.
Ah Su shook his head helplessly and explained to Shelley: "Your Royal Highness, although most of you have doubts about your knowledge, they do all express their willingness to assist you in completing your task. ”
The old man nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes." ”
That is, after all, I paid for it. Workers only need to be responsible for their own work and remuneration, and that is enough. With so many workers on the assembly line for the production of cars, do they all know what the principle of the car is? Just do your part.
Therefore, Shelley naturally didn't mean to blame them, so he chuckled and said: "It's okay, when the results come out, everything will naturally be clear, old Cai, you can go to the place I chose today to get to know." ”
"Uh...... Am I alone? ”
"Of course not, Nika will take you with her, and she'll tell you how to plan the farmland."
At present, there are more than a dozen kinds of crops and several kinds of trees and plants for materials, so simply turning the soil and loosening the soil will definitely not meet their needs for the growing environment.
For example, rice needs to be planted in paddy fields that can store water, rape flowers need to be planted in fields that are easy to manage, and peanuts are the same. In addition, a canal was dug for irrigation, and the water was naturally drawn from the adjacent lake.
Although in terms of technical content, these things are not the most difficult, but they are undoubtedly the largest amount of work, and because of this, nearly 400 of the more than 500 people waiting for work are currently divided under the old vegetables, just to improve the progress of the work, after all, there is no such good thing as a bulldozer in this world.
With so many people working together, if the distribution is unreasonable, there will definitely be big problems, so Shelley's positioning for Lao Cai is at most similar to the contract foreman who conveys instructions in the middle. And the real personnel management is handed over to Nika. Because at the moment, apart from Shelley, she is the only one who knows how to develop and distribute the fields.
Truth be told, Shelley was also surprised by Nika's performance. Originally, she thought that she might need to lead the team herself, but since the last time she gave Nika the idea of genetic modification and hybridization technology, she has shown an amazing talent for learning and understanding.
Not only did she understand the important parts without her own guidance. And the new knowledge she taught her, she quickly absorbed it and drew inferences from it. In the previous world, she was a female student.
Moreover, Shelley heard Owen say that among them was the earliest of Nika's awakening, and it is said that ten years ago, when she was still seven or eight years old, she was treated as a filthy slave.
In this world, a little girl around the age of seven or eight can read and write, and it is not difficult to imagine that she must have been born into a very prominent family. Although Shelley didn't ask, he was inevitably curious.
Regardless, Nika's performance gave Shelley the idea of grooming her to be her first secretary. Originally, she wanted to overthrow the filthy slaves, but she was prepared to start by reusing them and giving full play to their value. It was undoubtedly a very good choice to make Nika an important official.
Of course, this road must not be easy to follow.
When the old man heard that he was going to ask Nika to take him to see the land, he turned blue with fright on the spot. This is naturally also seen by Shelley, and she is not unaware of Lao Cai's psychological activities, but at this time, he has no choice.
"Old Cai, I can't control what you think about the superpower in your heart, but if you mess things up...... You should already be aware of the terms of breach of contract. I don't ask you to let go of your prejudices at once, but at least be humble enough to accept what Nika has taught you, and believe me, you will learn a lot, and when the time comes, each of you will thank her. ”
She had to use a heavy tone to remind the old chef that sometimes a hard push must be more effective than a gentle persuasion. Otherwise, those who engage in bungee jumping business will definitely lose money.
Under such a strong attitude, Lao Cai could only respond with a bitter face.
As soon as Nika and Lao Cai left, Vader ran in with a wooden barrel, followed by little Naya.
"Mom~~" Seeing Ah Su, little Naya immediately coquettishly crashed into her arms.
And Vader straightened up his small body, and said proudly: "Mom, Her Royal Highness the princess said that my ability is very powerful, not only to reuse me, but also to give me a salary increase!" ”
"It's our blessing to do things for the princess, how can you just think about the reward!" Although Ah Su's expression is serious, it is not difficult to see from his eyes that he is full of love.
Shelley didn't stop them from being coquettish with Ah Suan, in the end, they were children, although they had only been separated for two or three days, they still liked their mother by their side. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but think of myself again.
At this time, Vader noticed that Shelley was looking at them, her little face turned red, and she hurriedly sent the barrel to Shelley: "Your Royal Highness, I have collected them all." ”
Inside the bucket was nothing else, just snow-white silkworm cocoons.
The silkworm eggs brought back from the border forest hatched, and to Shelley's surprise, the interval between hatching and cocooning was unusually short, three days ago they hatched, and in less than two days, they formed cocoons this morning.
When he first heard this from Momo's mouth, Shelley still didn't believe it. But on second thought, it's not impossible.
She had analyzed before that the ordinary creatures in this world were still in an earlier form than the previous world, and because of the different living environments, the unusually short period of larvae could also be explained.
There is also a very important tone, that is, these silkworm babies seem to form cocoons in two or three days, but in fact, whether it is their growth rate or the amount of food they eat, they are much more ruthless than the silkworm babies in the previous life.
After the birth of about 350 silkworm babies in this leaf, they gnawed off a whole mulberry leaf, and before the silkworm was formed, the size of the body actually grew to be larger than the silkworm baby in the previous life.
From this point of view, the amount of food they should consume and the steps they should grow have not been left behind, it is simply that the speed of growth is too fast.
So she asked Vader to collect the cocoons scattered on the trees before Lao Cai and Ah Sew came over. And asked Owen and Momo to go and collect all the white silkworms in the mulberry forest at once, which must be a lot, so Shelley asked Hans to take people with them, and also took all their horses and carts.
