124 Always Finished?
With the full assistance of two craftsmen, the plough cart and other tools were assembled very quickly.
"Okay"
Not long after, after thanking and saying goodbye, the craftsman led the helper to leave, continued to do their work, standing next to the ploughing cattle, Wu Qingchen turned around and faced the parents of the four old neighbors: "Uncles, everything is ready, from now on, you will listen to me?" ”
"Listen to you!"
"Looth, you can do it!"
"Let's do what we do!"
This is a decision that has been negotiated for a long time.
With the experience of working together in the past 40 days, repairing roads and wooden bridges, and exchanging farmland work, the four old neighbors have all fallen in love with the way of collective work.
Two days ago, taking advantage of Wu Qingchen's relatively leisure time, the parents of the four old neighbors came to the door collectively, hoping that Wu Qingchen would take the lead and continue to preside over the collective work during the summer service.
"Good!"
Wu Qingchen looked around and first found out the two farmers with the worst endurance among the four farmer families that the Earth team had already selected for him: "Willy, Asa, wait a minute, you two will follow me and wade out of the stones you pass by, you should know how to do it, right?" ”
"I know!" "Brother Loth, I know that too."
The two children, who were about the same height as Wu Qingchen, immediately began to pick up the stones beside Wu Qingchen.
"Put a pile, put a pile!" Wu Qingchen taught the two guys to pile up the hard mud and stones scattered around them.
"Nigel, Alger," Wu Qingchen nodded to two more children of the same age, "carry the basket and follow Willy and them, and wherever you go, put the stones and throw them out of the commons, understand?" ”
"Understood, Los."
The two guys who were named by Wu Qingchen immediately squatted down, picked up the stones that his younger brothers had just piled up, and put them in the basket.
"Uncle Richard, Uncle Freeman"
Then came the two farmers with the most stable arms and the most experienced ploughing, "I'll ask you to drive the cattle later." ”
"Okay, don't worry, Ros."
The two veterans patted the plowcart that had been supported and replied calmly.
"And then Aunt Paula, Aunt Jenny"
In this way, Wu Qingchen clicked over one by one, and according to the plan predetermined by the Earth Staff Committee, every farmer in the commons was assigned a suitable position.
"Almost, do you remember what to do?"
After informing each villager twice, Wu Qingchen looked at the crowd again.
"Remember!" "It's all right!" "Let's get started, Loth."
The old neighbors responded one after another.
"Okay, let's get started! Willy, Asa, come with me! Everyone else is following! ”
"Good!"
With Wu Qingchen's order, every villager in the public land allocated to the four old neighbors was busy.
With the poor knowledge and life experience of the villagers in the medieval world, it was certainly impossible for these farmers and peasant women in front of Wu Qingchen to accept too complicated instructions.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it's a rockpile, a basket, or a plowlift
Wu Qingchen's every arrangement is something that these villagers have already mastered, and they have to do so many times every year, every month, and even every day.
The difference is that in normal times, when these families, or the vast majority of families in the medieval world, were engaged in agricultural production, every laborer would come up to work in most of the labor links.
It is difficult to fix every worker in a single labor position like Wu Qingchen is now.
Dozens of steps away, next to the bookkeeper Thor, there was a child who was about the same age as Wu Qingchen, who covered his mouth and coughed from time to time, quietly staring at Thor counting people's heads, carving parchment rolls, and occasionally looking up at the surroundings, he happened to see Wu Qingchen's movements.
"Father, father" only glanced at it a few times, and the child was very surprised, and hurriedly pulled his father's arm: "Look at it, look at it, look over there!" ”
"Hmm"
The clerk, who was still continuing to count the villagers who were on duty, turned his head and glanced twice in the direction of Wu Qingchen's group, and turned his head very strangely: "What's wrong, Eric?" ”
"That one," the child pointed vigorously to the commons, "why do they work like this?"
"What's wrong?" Thor glanced at it a few more times, and suddenly showed a sudden look, "Oh, this Erik, you were sick a while ago, and you don't know about the affairs in the village. ”
"Work like this!" The surprise on Eric's face was even greater, "Is there any benefit in working like this?" ”
"Of course!" Thor nodded, touching his son's head, "It's a little faster than everyone else." ”
"Huh? Why is it faster? ”
"What about this, you wait a minute"
When it came to this topic, Thor first waved his hand, signaling his son to be quiet a little, and then quickly counted the few villagers who had walked to his side, and then closed the parchment roll, took his son, walked a few steps, stood in a relatively high position, and pointed to the direction where Wu Qingchen and his party were: "Come, you take a look first, see how different there are when they are working with others." ”
"It's so different!" Eric replied immediately.
"So what's the difference?"
"Hmm"
Erik's eyes widened, he looked carefully at Wu Qingchen's group, then looked at the other villagers around him, and began to summarize slowly: "The most children pick up stones, the older children carry baskets and adults plough the fields, the brothers follow behind to break the hard mud, and there are still people building fires, are they going to cook and eat directly on the edge of the commons?" ”
"Yes."
Thor nodded approvingly, "Eric, you're looking closely!" That's why they work faster than everyone else. ”
"Huh? So why don't others do the same? ”
"Of course the others want to," Thor shook his head, "but he can't do it." ”
"Uh," the look on Eric's face was confused.
"It's okay not to pick up stones, it's a big deal to hit your foot and look over there"
Thor pointed in a random direction, and in another commons, another family, father and eldest son, carried a plow, mother and two other sons carried another plow, and the family drove two lean oxen, and the five of them bent deeply, silently trudging through the mud, and sometimes some of them bared their teeth and frowned, and squatted down, and turned out one or two stones from the dirt, and threw them far out of the commons.
"Look at them, the whole family is working so hard together, how can they still divide the manpower to follow behind and knock hard mud blocks?"
"What about the hard mud blocks?" Eric asked, "This is the work that must be done in the ploughing!" ”
"There's a lot of way," Thor said, pointing elsewhere.
Following the direction of Thor's finger, the son saw that some families, after plowing a certain distance, turned their heads and walked to the place where they started, and broke up the mud together; Some families, ploughing all the way, probably intending to leave the work behind; Some families, well, this guy wanted to bury the hard mud blocks, and was found by the police officers, and was being beaten with sticks.
There is no doubt that these choices are not as good as the practices of the four old neighbors around Wu Qingchen:
The guys in front clean up the stones, the main laborers in the middle are relieved to boldly plough, and the people in the back break the mud when it is wet and loose, and the whole process is done in one go, saving time and effort.
"So that's the case, this method must be used by a lot of people."
Thinking about this, the son had a new question: "However, if there are many people, why don't other people also work together?" ”
"How could it not be? Why don't you come with me."
Such an example seems a bit difficult to find, and Thor pulls his son and changes several positions before finally finding similar material:
In another piece of the field, two families came together, one of the most men picking up stones in front, an older child carrying a basket to carry stones, five of the strongest laborers ploughing the field together, and two peasant women and the remaining minor laborers carrying their tools to clear the hard mud.
A shrunken version of the Wu Qingchen/Los Neighborhood Ploughing collaboration.
"Wow," Eric said, his mouth wide open.
"Come on, there should still be"
Satisfied with his son's expression, Thor took Eric around a few more times, finding a few more similar situations.
"Did you find anything?"
"Hmm"
Eric replied with a deep groan: "Most of them are two families together, and there are very few three families together, and they don't divide the work as carefully as Boss and their side, why is that?" ”
"Why"
A wry smile appeared on Thor's face: "Eric, if your family were to work with another family, who would you let plow the field and who would knock hard mud blocks?" ”
"Father," Eric asked, puzzled, "Isn't our family's share of land given to serfs?" ”
"Ahem, okay." Thor coughed, "If your uncle's family works with another family, who will you let plow?" Who to knock hard mud blocks? ”
"Hmm"
Eric fell into deep thought.
"Lowes taught Richard their way, not so easy to learn"
Thor said leisurely: "But it's nothing, there is so much work in the village, if you can learn it, it's easier, if you can't learn it, just be tired, anyway, it's like this every year, and you can always finish it every year." ”
It is a few corners away from the father and son of the bookkeeper during the education, and a few hundred meters away from Wu Qingchen and the others.
Next to the low tree, there stood a wheezing thin cow, in the mud field, two plows were tilted upside down, and on the edge of the ridge, four figures were limp and paralyzed.
"Huhugjir"
The peasant woman gasped and turned to her husband beside her, "Otherwise, promise Kenneth, the children are whirring, and the cattle are too tired." ”
"Whew"
The husband sat up a little straighter: "Promise him what?" ”
"Like Looth, like Richard, work together!"
"Humph!" The husband let out a breath from his nostrils: "Whatever you hope for, don't count on him!" ”
"Why, you are brothers!"
"The brother who stole the two chickens the day before the separation? Is the brother whose nephew has not eaten for two days and refuses to borrow a handful of wheat? ”
"Alas," the wife sighed deeply and said no more.
"Again" the husband did not stop: "Kenneth mother-in-law, you don't know, work together, hum, do you want to fight the plow truck alone?" Do you want our cattle to do all the work? ”
The wife nodded silently.
After a while, the husband patted his wife comfortingly: "Okay, you don't have to worry too much, it's not the first summer service, anyway, the work is here, and you have survived every year, what will be different this year?" ”
And the quarreling couple, across a hillside.
The same tired family.
Feeling distressed, wiping the sweat stains on the back of the ploughing ox, the eldest son looked at the master of the family: "Father, if it goes on like this, it really won't work, at night, I'll go find Uncle Clark again, right?" ”
"Alas"
"Looking for something!"
The father sighed, and when he was about to speak, the second son had already shouted out with anger on his face: "If you want to find it, it should be Clark who is looking for us!" It's obviously his mother-in-law and his son who are lazy! How! Isn't it okay to scold twice? Are they lazy or wrong? His family has finished ploughing, but our family's last piece of land has not been ploughed, and the result is our fault? ”
"Tsk, look at your words!"
The father stared at the second son in annoyance: "Do you think people didn't see it?" When you help the Clark family plow, you do the least amount of work! Also, if we hadn't worked together, would our family have been able to plow the last piece of land? ”
"That's because"
"Alright, alright!" The father interrupted the second son's explanation and reason, and turned to the eldest son again: "If you want to go, you can go and ask at night, but last time, Clark was really angry, and it was difficult to make him want to do it again."
"We should be angry!"
The second son shouted again: "If you don't want to, forget it!" Anyway, that's all the work, I do it every year, and I haven't seen any year of exhaustion! ”
