Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Little Fubao obediently listened to his grandma's words, no longer shrinking back, and regained his cheerful and lively personality. He spoke vague children's words with his small mouth, like a chirping magpie.

Xu Ning kissed the little baby's head with great affection, and said to Huo Yunchao, who was watching them intently: "Ms. sir, dad doesn't seem to be in a high mood. There may be some problem."

Huo Yunchao knew very well how tedious this work was to manage. He would hide whenever he could, but he wouldn't just watch if something happened.

He comforted: "Well, Father Xu is not a good supervisor. Even with the help of Uncle Liu and others, if Father Xu wants to manage these thousands of people, all kinds of people will gather in one place and cause a lot of trouble. Ning Niang, don’t take Fu Bao back to the house. Let’s listen to what problems Father Xu has and give him some advice. Three cobblers can only stand up to Zhuge Liang.”

Before getting married, Xu Ning was determined to flatly refuse. She felt that she was short-sighted and could not help much, so she simply chose to escape.

After getting married, with Huo Yunchao's encouragement and support day after day, Xu Ning slowly built up her self-confidence. She realized from the bottom of her heart that she could do many things and could bear the responsibility of trying and failing.

The couple was playing hide-and-seek with Xiao Fubao in the main room while waiting for Butcher Xu to come out from the shower. They had paper and pen ready on the table, ready to write down the problems and think of solutions one by one.

When Butcher Xu came out of the shower, he heard little Fubao's hearty laughter from a distance, and paused in wiping his hair.

He thought of what Huo Yunchao had said to him and smiled with relief: Yes, his mother Ning was a bit strict in disciplining her children, but in a large family, there must be an elder who makes a fool of herself in order to properly discipline the young and ignorant ones. child.

"Grandma!"

Little Fubao played hide-and-seek with his parents, and his pores opened up, and he felt physically and mentally comfortable. He was completely free of the embarrassment of hiding in his father's arms and not uttering a word.

Butcher Xu looked at this scene, and most of the heavy depression lingering in his heart dissipated: "Hey! Little Fubao, come and help grandpa wipe his hair. Grandpa, talk to your parents."

"Yeah!" Xiao Fubao likes to help his elders the most.

Even if Little Fubao failed, she would still be praised by Xu Butcher, even if her head hurt from being patted, she would still praise Little Fubao for his accuracy.

Butcher Xu coaxed little Fu Bao with just one sentence. He sat down and said, "Chao'er, it's really hard to do this job as a supervisor. You have to take care of everything big and small. You have to keep an eye on all the men, women, old and young. If there's anything wrong, If you pay attention, something will happen and you will cause trouble. Fortunately, I am not in charge of things alone. Your Uncle Liu, Centurion and others are all doing their best to help me manage people well, otherwise I would really be the top ten."

Huo Yunchao smiled and listened to Xu Tutu's confession. From the bottom of his heart, he admired Xu's father who took the initiative to take over the supervision.

For a lazy person like him who is too lazy to socialize with strangers, he would rather be the one being looked after unless absolutely necessary.

After Xu Tutu complained about human diversity, he then asked a few questions: "Chao'er, I have been thinking about the flaws in today's management work. I have summarized the following points."

Huo Yunchao held a small notebook and began to record. Xu Tutu mentioned whatever he thought of. Fortunately, Huo Yunchao was a person who was very good at summarizing. From Xu Tutu's slightly messy statement, he came up with the following three questions:

"Dad Xu, the first one is the food supply issue. Today's actual food consumption is much greater than expected. Based on the construction period of one month and thirty days, when the entire river embankment construction project is completed, based on today's food level , the food supplied by the county government was only enough for about 20 days.

The second is the issue of judging workload. The vast majority of people calculate their workload based on the family unit. A man's workload can basically reach five cents, and a woman's and child's workload can basically reach three cents. There are only a few people who cheat and are lazy, and their workload does not reach the level of five cents and three cents, which makes it more difficult for you to judge the workload.

The third issue is the issue of wage distribution. People who come to work as a family unit can basically be paid according to head, gender, and age. Because there are so many people, it takes an hour or two to distribute wages and exchange food one by one, which increases your workload. The centurion suggested that after the wages were calculated, they would be handed over to Li Zheng, Yamen and other stewards, and they would distribute them on their own instead of at the construction site. "

Butcher Xu nodded repeatedly: "Chao'er, that's right, that's probably what happened."

Huo Yunchao pointed to the second question and said: "Dad Xu, the solution to the second question is very simple. Those who cannot receive full wages today, let them work for another day tomorrow. If these men do not receive five If women and children cannot receive three pennies, they should be advised to send them back home and not allow them to work again."

Butcher Xu thought about it carefully and found that there were less than a hundred people who did not receive full wages. There would be no problem in simply persuading these people to quit.

Building a river embankment is a real physical job. In the early stage, you can't do such an easy job as cutting down trees and pulling branches. So don't try to mess around. If you can't do it well, you'll have to quit.

Butcher Xu weighed it up and agreed with Huo Yunchao's idea: "Chao'er, you're right! I roughly calculated that there are less than a hundred people who can't get full wages. They have slowed down the progress and haven't eaten less."

Huo Yunchao continued: "Well. Even the food and money provided by the rich and unkind landlord Lao Cai are not used to support people who eat for nothing. The first food supply issue, in fact, the food cannot be supplied until the twentieth day at all. But fifteen days. But it’s not a big problem. I have a plan to deal with it. I will definitely find a new source of food before that batch of grain reserves is used up.”

Butcher Xu wanted to ask how he got so much food: "Chao'er, where do you plan to get new food? The food in our granary may not be enough to supply the construction site with food for two days."

Huo Yunchao smiled mysteriously and said: "Dad Xu, just put your heart back in your stomach. I never thought about having to pay for this out of my own pocket. Building strong river embankments will not only benefit our family. I'm not that holy." Heart. However, I can’t tell you how to get food now, so I’ll keep it a secret for now.”

Butcher Xu stopped asking after hearing this, "Chao'er, what about the centurion's suggestion? Do you think it is feasible?"

Huo Yunchao didn't answer but asked: "Dad Xu, please tell me what kind of person the centurion is first. Is the centurion a trustworthy person? How does he manage his subordinates, and how does he work with you? Performance?"

He had to strictly examine the character of the centurion and ten other veterans. After all, what he was going to do was an explosive event that would shock the world and make ghosts and gods cry. He didn't want to put his trust in a wolf, tiger and leopard with a human face and an animal heart.

Black powder is too important. Whether it is the storage of raw materials, the preparation of finished black powder, or the use of black powder, safety work guidelines must be strictly followed.
