In the early morning of September, the weather was crisp and comfortable.

At the city gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest of Youxian County, there are already countless people waiting in line. The faces of the people were thin and thin, but their eyes were excited. The people were talking about each other, the noise was constant, and the scene was like a vegetable market.

"Da!

A rush of footsteps rushed out of the south gate.

More than 20 soldiers rushed out quickly.

Immediately after, Maleonn stepped forward. When Ma Liang saw the situation outside the south gate, he was shocked. Outside the South Gate, the black pressure was full of people.

The approximate estimate of the number of people is five or six thousand.

The real number of people should be more.

Ma Liang arranged for the officials who had already been assigned the task to recruit the people separately, and the people who reclaimed ordinary farmland did not need to be inspected, but only the recruits needed to be visually inspected.

When it comes to cutting down trees, the people have a strong bow and a 60-pound stone to test the strength of the people. Cutting down trees requires a certain amount of physical strength, and Ma Liangcai specially set up a test.

As the registration began, the soldiers organized the people to line up and began to register one by one.

The scene was lively and full of vitality.

After Ma Liang saw that the registration of the south gate was on the right track, he went to the northeast, west and three city gates. When the city gates of the four directions were on the right track, he went to the county government to report the news to Liu Xiu.

Then, Ma Liang hurriedly returned to the scene again and directed the inspection.

Recruiting the people is not a trivial matter.

Any mistake in any detail may cause a conflict and affect the major events of Tuntian, so Ma Liang is extremely careful. At the end of the day, Ma Liang's voice was already hoarse, and he was even more tired. He took the summarized data and came to the county office's study.

After bowing to Liu, Ma Liang sat down.

Liu Xiu noticed Ma Liang's state and said, "On the first day, I worked hard for you. ”

Ma Liang shook his head and said, "Childe, looking at the festive smiles of the people, I don't feel hard. This Tuntian is a major event related to the lives of the people in the county, and I am enjoying it. ”

Seeing the difficulties of the people's livelihood, Ma Liang had only one idea in his heart, so that the people could get out of the predicament.

Liu Xiu asked, "How many people are registered today?"

Ma Liang handed over the recorded data and reported: "Today, the number of people registered is as high as 18,000. Among them, there are nearly 7,000 people at the south gate, 4,000 at the east gate, 3,000 at the north gate, and 4,000 at the west gate. As a rough estimate, the number of registrations on the first day was the highest, and the number should decrease from tomorrow. So, starting tomorrow, I'm going to set up just one registration location outside the South Gate. ”

Liu Xiu looked at the recorded data, and his eyes were slightly bowed. Nearly 20,000 people participated, so that the majority of hungry people could get food and clothing.

In addition, the rest of the people must also be moving when they hear the wind.

"Knock! knock!"

There was a knock on the door, which sounded outside the study, and Kuaiqi's voice came, "Childe, I'm Kuaiqi." ”

Liu Xiu said: "Come in!"

The door creaked, and Kuai Qi and Pang Tong walked in. The faces of the two also showed tired looks. Their task is not much easier than that of Ma Liang.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Sit!"

The two sat down, and Kuai Qi asked, "Childe, how about the number of people registered today?"

Liu Xiu replied: "Nearly 20,000 people. ”

"Shhh

Kuai Qi looked surprised, gasped, and said: "Nearly 20,000 people have registered, and Gongzi has solved too many people's livelihood problems this time. ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Don't say good things, tell me about your situation." ”

Pang Tong took the initiative to take over and said, "Childe, I took people to check the situation in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the county. Among them, there are mostly barren forests in the east, west and north, and the terrain in these places is more flat, and it is completely possible to open up farmland as farmland. Therefore, I asked people to directly demarcate the area that the people reclaimed. ”

As he spoke, Pang Tong handed over a bamboo slip and said, "Childe, this is my preliminary reclamation plan. Early tomorrow morning, it is planned to be implemented according to the plan. ”

Pang Tong originally did not plan to meddle in government affairs, but Liu Xiu's manpower was seriously insufficient. Therefore, Pang Tong's task is to select the place for reclamation, demarcate the area, and let the people carry out the reclamation.

Liu Xiu took it in his hand and looked at it quickly, and between his eyebrows, he slowly wrinkled.

Pang Tong asked, "Is there any problem?"

Liu Xiu sighed lightly and said, "Shiyuan, in this plan, the distribution of personnel is very reasonable, and they all have their own areas. However, the tasks for each area are not quantified. ”

"It is unreasonable for the people to get food if they don't work, or if they work more or less. ”

In other words, if I am lazy, I will do very little in a day, but as long as the day passes, I can still receive food. It's not fair to other people, and it's very inefficient. ”

"In the end, it could be a different story. When the people cultivated the farmland, they were all weak, or they were lazy and lazy, and they had no motivation. ”

Liu Xiudao: "In this way, the reclamation of farmland will lose its effect. ”

Pang Tong thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "Childe's analysis makes sense, but how to solve it? In a short period of time, I can't think of a better solution." ”

Liu Xiudao: "Actually, it's very simple, quantify the task. ”

Pang Tong asked, "How to quantify?"

After Ma Liang and Kuai Qi listened, their eyes also showed curiosity.

Liu Xiu said: "For example, there are 100 acres of mountains and forests in the east of the county. This 100 acres will be directly arranged for the people, and a team will have 10 acres of land. The people of each team, as long as they are completed, can be accepted and then receive food. Regardless of the time it takes to complete it, as long as the task is completed, it is time to call it a day. ”

"The diligent people will soon be done. ”

"As for those who steal and cheat, they must be completed, and if they are not completed, there will be no food. And in a team, those who drag everyone down because of one person, who steals and cheats, will be spit on and despised next time. ”

Liu Xiudao: "Over time, each team will go all out to complete the task as soon as possible. In this way, the speed has also increased, and the people will not be lazy. As for the tasks arranged, it is easier for the people to complete them. ”

Pang Tong's eyes flashed with Dao essence.

Liu Xiu's method is actually very simple, that is, to quantify the task and assign the task clearly, but Pang Tong didn't take it into account, he arched his hand and said: "Childe is wise!"

After thinking about it carefully, Kuai Qi and Ma Liang also understood the key. The solution is actually very simple, but it is not so easy to think of this solution.

Liu Xiudao: "The plan is revised, and it can be implemented tomorrow." ”

Pang Tong nodded and took Liu Xiu's words to heart.

Liu Xiu's gaze fell on Kuai Qi and asked, "Mr. Demin, has the food problem been communicated?"

Kuai Qi nodded and said: "Early tomorrow morning, the guards of the Pang family and the Huang family's shops will pull out the grain and hand it over to the people according to the amount of food needed that day. ”

After Liu Xiu heard this, he shook his head and said: "This kind of operation is inconvenient, and the people will swarm to receive food, which will become crowded and easy to cause chaos." At the same time, it is difficult to control and must be adjusted. ”

Kuai Qi arched his hand and said, "How to deal with it?"

Liu Xiudao: "Since the team that reclaimed the farmland has quantified the task, there are naturally people in charge. For each team, choose a person in charge and let him make overall arrangements, and be responsible for receiving and distributing food for their respective teams. ”

"Why should the person in charge of receiving the food receive the food?"

"At this point, it's up to you to do it. The person who completed the task finds you, you issue a formality, affix a seal, he takes the formalities, and then goes to collect the food. In this way, the people who distribute the food have a basis, and the people who receive the food also have a certificate, which will not be chaotic and easy to control. Every link is easy to control. ”

Liu Xiudao: "The most important thing is that it can reduce your workload. The person in charge of each team can give a little more food, after all, they have done more. In short, make the tasks clear and arrange them one by one. All you have to do is manage people. Leave the specific things to the people below to do. ”

After listening to it, Kuai Qi admired it even more in his heart.

Liu Xiu is young, but he can handle things very spicy, which makes Kui Qi ashamed. He took note of Liu Xiu's suggestion and improved the whole plan when he returned.

Liu Xiu discussed tomorrow's arrangements with the three of them again, and it was not completely over until late at night
