The situation of the entire northern manor castle and the surrounding subsidiary territories gradually took shape in Jiao Ming's heart, and the contract was located not far from the confluence of two small rivers, and there was a large area of fertile land nearby. A little further from www.biquge.info river is a little more fertile land, freely cultivated by the lords, but never saturated.

On the one hand, health care cannot keep up, and the population growth is quite slow, and it will fall from time to time. Second, the grain output is limited, and the reasons can be divided into several aspects, such as the inability to intensively cultivate due to inferior stone tools, the low willingness to produce due to the unreasonable grain tax system, and the difficulty in accumulating farming experience due to the ultra-low average age of death.

According to rough statistics, there are 90 small villages in the dependent territory, each of which has only about 100 people, and the total population is only 10,000. Jiao Ming knew about the population situation when he did the census last year, and he only found it unbelievable to know that the population in the land attached to the manor was so small. Then he asked the total population of the Ice Lotus Crocodile Territory, the Ice Lotus shook her head and didn't know, and Jiao Ming asked her to make a rough estimate, but he only got an answer like 'It should not exceed 500,000'. And he answered with a straight face, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Jiao Ming shook his head secretly, sighing that the land was vast and sparsely populated, although he knew that this place could not be compared with Zhong Guo in the 21st century, but this population was really embarrassed by the face of the farming nation.

......

When the household register was recorded and one-third of the household registration book was distributed, and only half of the seven livestock breeding demonstration sites were built, Lady Purple Feather returned to the northern castle manor with coolies and a small number of magical warrior hired laborers to start harvesting. The crops of the people are scarce, so they can wait two more days and harvest the sorghum when it is at its fullest.

In the past few days, the 200-person team led by Binglian and Jiao Ming has also been constantly improving the labor system and working methods. The most important one was to provide lunch according to the number of bricks made, and Jiao Ming brought up this point when he first crossed over, but Binglian refused, because the amount of food spent was too much compared to the amount of food paid for coolies.

But at this time, after in-depth understanding, it was discovered that there was a misunderstanding, and both of them regretted it greatly. According to the actual situation in the past few days, the amount of food paid for the same workload is only about 60 percent more than the use of coolies, which is not at all unaffordable. The reasons for past miscalculations are simple. In the past, the only purpose of the crocodile family to hire the lord was to participate in agricultural labor, so it was inevitable to conflict with the lord's own agricultural time, delay their own fields without planting or harvesting, and go to the lord's family to plant and harvest, which was naturally much higher.

And now it is not only the end of the summer when the agricultural work is not busy, but also the end of the summer when the rations are at the bottom, coupled with the threat of force, the temptation of lunch and sickles, the labor enthusiasm of the leaders is very high, and the whole family goes into battle for a 'free' lunch, and many people even eat only this lunch to survive.

Bing Lian was dumbfounded by such enthusiasm for labor, and Jiao Ming seemed to see the spiritual outlook of his grandfather's generation. Driven by the memory of hunger that lasted for the whole life, as long as I could have a bite to eat, I was satisfied with the work no matter how hard and tiring it was. Under the influence of pervasive long-term hidden unemployment in society as a whole, the workers at the bottom do not even consider their labor to be valuable.

When Lady Purple Feather held her stomach and led everyone to harvest half of the fertile fields near the castle manor, the harvest work on the lord's side finally began. Compared to the slow harvesting speed of the stone scythe, the iron scythe is like flying, and the original five-day workload was completed in only two and a half days, which means that ordinary people can double the work efficiency of using the scythe. And judging from the experience of the castle manor in the past few days, the harvesting efficiency of the magic warrior after using the scythe is three times that of the original.

With the communication network still in operation, the use of scythes in other noble realms has also been significantly improved, and some small estates have even been harvested. The dispute over the wages between the lord manor and the employees also occurred as expected, and Ms. Zi Yu, at Jiao Ming's suggestion, left the harvesting work at hand and rushed to Changteng Town, and began to mediate the conflict with those old men and women as public security bureau officials.

The plan went smoothly until the end of the autumn harvest, but some unpleasant things happened when the sickles were returned. A villager tried to hide the sickle and drove the staff out with several other members of the village.

Jiao Ming, who received the report, immediately arrived and asked the squad leader about the situation, but saw a dark and strong 'girl' with a deterrent effect. After a few polite greetings, Jiao Ming learned that the squad leader was seventeen years old, named Meitan, who had been promoted from the first ring to the second ring, and was confident that he would soon be promoted to the third ring.

Thinking of the good life of the Ice Lotus starting the five rings, Jiao Ming looked up to this hard-working female man a little bit when he lamented the injustice of the world.

"According to the instructions of the gentleman, even if this happened, we did not overreact and reported it in time. After introducing herself, Meitan said very respectfully.

"You have been wronged!" Jiao Ming comforted everyone softly. The gap between ordinary people and magical warriors is obvious, and the fear in the hearts of the people is deep in the marrow of the people when they are treated roughly. Then if you do something disobedient under deep fear, you will inevitably bluff and be inward-looking, and your attitude will not be good.

"No!" Mitan replied.

Another team member said with some resentment: "Thanks to the Meitan squad leader, only a few of us can't say what will happen." ”

"What are the radical words and deeds of the people?" Jiao Ming asked.

If Jiao Ming had some administrative experience, he shouldn't have asked like this, this was simply instigating his subordinates to frame, but fortunately, after the crocodile collar was blocked, these young people were very simple, and they simply described the arrogance of the leader.

After listening to this, Jiao Ming said with a smile: "Actually, he is afraid of you, think about it, if those Nine Ring powerhouses want to grab things, how can they be so babbling." ”

Although everyone felt justified after listening to it, they were very uncomfortable with the words of ridiculing the strong man of the Nine Rings, and they still laughed out loud with the courage of the young man's unique 'newborn calf is not afraid of tigers', and a girl member whispered: "The strong man of the Nine Rings will not snatch the sickle." The crowd laughed even louder.

This little trouble was quickly resolved, Jiao Ming used the absolute force of two seven environmental protection darts, according to Meitan's identification, to capture all the leaders involved in this matter with lightning speed, and then let Ssk threaten, confiscate some food and make a note in the household register, and then gently revealed the matter.

"Isn't that a little light?" asked, Ice Lotus.

"What do you want?" Jiao Ming asked rhetorically.

Binglian didn't answer, but glanced at the two people behind Jiao Ming, and said, "The two Qihuan made a move, but let them go like this, you are too wasteful, right?"

Jiao Ming's heart moved, and he looked back at the Huang Xia Zimang sister and brother, and then realized that something was wrong, these two were the bodyguards sent by the crocodile leader to his side, not his subordinates.

Zimang was embarrassed to be stared at by the two, and laughed. Huang Xia figured it out and said, "It's just a gesture, you don't have to be polite." If there is such a thing in the future, sir, you can tell our brother and sister. ”

Jiao Ming nodded at the two bodyguards, and said solemnly: "Thank you!"

......

After the autumn harvest was successfully completed, the sorghum was dried and put into storage, and then Binglian asked Ms. Ziyu for instructions on the trial implementation of the new tax law through the communication network. And Ms. Ziyu from Changteng Town is obviously overwhelmed by the dispute, and she is simply like throwing trouble and letting Binglian do whatever she wants, which is the meaning of 'don't bother me if you love'.

After cutting off the communication, Binglian looked at Jiao Ming suspiciously, and said, "Did you deliberately break up my mother?"

"How could it be. Jiao Ming shouted wronged, looking aggrieved.

"With such an exaggerated expression, it seems that you really premeditated. Binglian saw through it instantly, and then said with a smile: "But I like it." After that, he kissed Jiao Ming on the cheek.

The new tax law is very simple, that is, let the people themselves go to the livestock breeding demonstration sites under construction to ask for tax grain, and after paying the tax grain in full, they will mark it with a steel seal on the household registration book and household registration book, and then the people can bring their whole family to work and receive grain according to their workload.

Considering that this is a long-term job, it is necessary to take it one step at a time, and it is not possible to feed the sensitivity directly. Moreover, at this time, the autumn harvest had passed, and it was no longer the time to be hungry, and the situation had been opened, so there was no need to gather the people in this way, so after some calculation, the food paid was slightly reduced, but it was still more preferential than that of coolies.

Then Jiao Ming began to think about the autumn harvest celebration again, and asked Binglian: "Do you say that these 200 people will accept overtime on holidays without a salary increase?" ”

Binglian was stunned by the question, and only after listening to Jiao Ming's further explanation did she burst into a smile and said, "The statement of your hometown is really interesting. ”

"Seriously, please don't spit on the skinning system in my hometown. ”

"Ordinary people don't care about the autumn harvest celebration, they are not qualified to participate in it at all. Therefore, ordinary people will not go to Changteng Town, and if those dozens of low-ring magic warriors give wine and meat, it is not a big problem. ”

Jiao Ming frowned when he heard this, and said, "If that's the case, let's let them go to the celebration." On the one hand, there are sorghum rice and salted duck eggs, and on the other hand, there is wine and meat, and this kind of differential treatment is very hurtful. ”

"Then it's decided. Binglian nodded in agreement, then took a bill and handed it to Jiao Ming, saying, "I seem to have made a mistake, you have to help me find a way." ”

Jiao Ming took a look, but what was written on the bill was food consumption, because he had never had experience in this area, he couldn't estimate what order of magnitude it was, so he just glanced at it and looked up at Binglian and the other explanations.

"This group of people is so good to eat!" said Binglian with a sigh. "That's more than twice as much food as the coolies have consumed for these 200 people during this time. The situation of the eight hundred people in Changteng Town should be similar, and it is not a way to do this in the long run. ”

Jiao Ming read the bill carefully, remembered the saying 'half the size eats the poor old man', and said with a smile: "Who confidently accepted the 'food ration quota for a thousand people'?"

Binglian was exposed, very embarrassed, her beautiful eyes glanced at Jiao Ming, seemed to be angry, and slapped Jiao Ming on the chest again, and said: "At this time, I have a good memory, it's not that I can't remember the steelmaking furnace?"

Jiao Ming knew that Bickering was not a woman's opponent, coughed twice with a serious expression, and turned his mind back to the topic. These 200 people are employed by Binglian, the heir of the lord, and they are somewhat related to the 'civil servants', which seems to be something to learn from, but how can the many drawbacks in Zhong Guo's employee system be avoided? Or do they implement it first, and then fix it when something goes wrong?

"How about treating them as employees? Jiao Ming asked tentatively, wondering what Binglian thought of this kind of non-productive employment. After all, Binglian didn't grow up in Zhong Guo, and she wasn't used to some conventional.

Binglian pondered for a moment and asked, "This is your hometown's method?" Jiao Ming nodded. Binglian asked sharply: "If no products are produced, the 'labor division' plan can't work, right?"

"The members of this employee system are regarded as managers, and indeed do not produce any products. Jiao Ming recalled the content of the political class and said: "If the production of each product is regarded as a system, then this ducal employee system is to coordinate all the other systems, and if it is run properly, it can improve the overall operational efficiency." In fact, some of the work you and Ms. Purple Feather have undertaken can be counted in this category. With the development of the territory and the complexity of the production system, after all, two people cannot manage, and it is inevitable that more people will participate in the management. This product-free coordinated management system will also be formed. ”

Jiao Ming saw that Bing Leng couldn't understand it, so he had to give an example: "For example, the existing three duke enterprises, if there is no management and coordination between you and Ms. Ziyu in the middle, what will happen?"

Binglian thought for a moment and said, "It's probably going to be messy." ”

"Will production fall. ”

"It has to be. "Ice Lotus is definitely authentic.

"Assuming that the output of a laissez-faire production system is 100, and the output is 110 after 'management coordination', then it can be approximated that the system produces 10% of the benefits. ”

Binglian nodded slightly, and said, "If the production of food by the people is also regarded as a system, then after the management and coordination of these two hundred people, more food is produced, and the difference is counted as the work output of these two hundred people?"

Jiao Ming was stunned, a little caught off guard by this move, he didn't expect that Ice Lotus's IQ suddenly jumped out of a high value, and he shook his head slightly after a moment of silence: "To be honest, don't be angry, in my opinion, the food production process of these people has been persecuted by a bad management system, and they are not in a state of 'laissez-faire'. It was supposed to produce 100 or 100, but it only produced fifty or sixty. Even if the management of these 200 people is increased to 70 or 80 next year, it is still not a completely 'activated' state, and the 'output' of the management system is only increased from minus 40 to minus 20. ”

"Are you saying that our family's old management system was a failure?" asked Binglian with a stiff face.

"Yes, and it's a big problem. Jiao Ming stared at Binglian's eyes and admitted without flinching.

Binglian suddenly smiled slightly, like a spring breeze melting the snow, and said: "I have long felt that there is a problem with the management of my family, but it is the first time that I have realized it so clearly, thank you for these words." ”
