Chapter 60 Zhu Silang Must Not Be Offended! Hurry Back to Check the Harvest!

"Silang, Zhou Yamen!" Uncle Yang's face was a little serious, and he came closer to remind in a low voice.

Zhu Di nodded calmly.

He had noticed it already.

The distance between the two sides is close.

Zhou Yamen took the initiative to greet him and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, we meet again."

"Zhou Yamen." Zhu Di smiled and chatted with Zhou Yamen, reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man. At least the other party did not show any signs of revenge or torture.

"Mr. Zhu, my name is Zhou Lang. You can just call me by my name." After introducing himself with a smile, Zhou Yamen looked at the other villagers in front of him and lowered his voice, "Mr. Zhu, I am responsible. Command everyone to help Tuqiao Village find an easy job."

Hearing that Yamen Zhou wanted to take care of everyone, the young people around him instantly beamed with joy.

Zhu Di shook his head with a smile and thanked: "We appreciate the kindness, and we can't cause you any trouble. Just treat everyone equally."

"I may cause you more trouble in the future."

With that said, Zhu Di took out three pennies from his sleeve and quietly handed it to Zhou Yamen.

Bribery is definitely wrong.

But the environment of Ming Dynasty is just like this.

If you want to live more comfortably, you must learn to blend into the environment.

After all, he is a farmer.

"Mr. Zhu, you are slapping me in the face!" Zhou Lang pushed Zhu Di's hand back, patted his chest and said, "Mr. Zhu, if there is anything you need me to do, as long as I can do it, I promise to help!"

He has a creed as a man.

Don’t do anything that is too unconscionable.

Scholars cannot be offended!

to avoid retaliation.

I will never charge you for helping readers! As long as it can leave a good impression in the minds of readers.

Zhou Lang said a few words and left.

Zhu Di looked at Zhou Lang and couldn't help but be a little surprised. This man still had some merits.

"Fourth brother, Zhou Yamen is willing to take care of us, why did he turn it down?" A young man from the same village asked depressedly, interrupting Zhu Di's thoughts.

Zhu Di came back to his senses and looked at all the young people and some elders with puzzled and disappointed faces.

He smiled and said, "The villages that Zhou Yamen hired are all villages near our Tuqiao Village.

"Your wives are from these villages, right? I saw you were greeting them just now."

"From now on, weddings in our village will most likely be held in these surrounding villages."

"Yu Zhou takes care of us as a kindness."

"But what will the folks in other villages think when they see us being taken care of and doing easy and not tiring work?"

snort!

Uncle Eight snorted coldly and stared at the young man coldly, "The folks in other villages don't dare to resent Zhou Yamen, but they will be jealous and resent us!"

“If we don’t have good relations with neighboring villages, our Tuqiao Village will be isolated!”

"In the future, your girls will not marry?"

"The boy doesn't want a wife anymore?"

"Shiro is thinking about you!"

"When you go out, you don't want to take advantage of anything!"

"There are some advantages. If you take advantage of them now, you will suffer big losses in the future!"

Many elders lowered their heads.

The young man smiled coquettishly, "Fourth brother, we were wrong. From now on, wherever you point, we will fight!"

Zhu Di smiled, but did not dare to respond to this.

Let the Jinyi Guards report to the old man.

Old man, you might be getting suspicious again.

Soon, Zhou Yamen led everyone to a badly damaged river embankment.

The river embankment was already piled with stones.

Zhou Lang stood in front of everyone and said loudly: "Dear villagers, before you are recruited, the people near the county have completed their corvee tasks."

"These stones were brought here by them."

"Your job is to carve flat surfaces out of these stones."

"Renovate this damaged river embankment."

…

Zhou Lang briefly explained how to do it, pointed out the subcontracting areas of several villages, and left it alone.

Zhu Di began to assign tasks according to the villagers' expertise, age, and physical strength.

He has been in the village for several months, and he knows everything about the villagers' skills and physical conditions.

Zhou Lang has been secretly observing Zhu Di...

Seeing Zhu Di and others, not only did they move in an orderly manner, but also faster, he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Thankfully I didn't offend Zhu Silang! These scholars are so powerful, you really can't offend them!"

…

The sun is getting higher.

At noon.

Everyone began to eat and rest one after another.

Serving as a corvee can be more tiring than doing farm work.

During the corvee period, would you like to have a warm meal with soup and water?

Want to take a nap in the shade and rest?

Beautiful thought!

While everyone was eating, Zhou Lang stood on the river embankment and shouted a reminder: "Other villages should learn more from Tuqiao Village. If you don't understand, just ask Mr. Zhu of Tuqiao Village."

"Tuqiao Village does things faster and better than you, you must have seen it!"

"There are only so many subcontracted tasks. If you finish them early, you can go home early!"

With that said, Zhou Lang walked along the gentle slope of the river embankment, came to sit next to Zhu Di, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, if people from other villages come to ask for advice, I hope you will not hesitate to guide us."

Zhu Di nodded in agreement.

】

Repairing it quickly will also be beneficial to Tuqiao Village.

He broke off half of the pancake in his hand and handed it to Zhou Lang, "If you don't mind, eat some."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. Mr. Xu must have made this for Mr. Zhu himself. It is a lifetime honor for a rough man like me to eat pancakes made by a teacher." Zhou Lang hurriedly wiped his hands and took the pancake. .

He stood up and said, "Mr. Zhu, wait a moment!"

After a while, he returned with a food box.

Took out several plates with dishes and a low-quality wine pot.

"Mr. Zhu, this is the food provided by the county government for us, the yamen runners in charge of the area. Please eat it too." Zhou Lang handed the chopsticks to Zhu Di attentively.

He himself took a thin branch and broke it into two pieces to use as chopsticks.

Zhu Di was not polite either...

After the meal.

Zhu Di saw that some villagers were approaching, and seemed to be afraid of Zhou Yayi beside him, so he didn't dare to come over, so he waved to the villagers.

"Mr. Zhu, then I'll go upstairs first. If you have anything, just call me." Zhou Lang said with a smile.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhou Lang.

This guy is a typical person who treats people with dishonor.

He has some desirable qualities, but his shortcomings are also very obvious.

A poor yamen runner has a strong sense of superiority in front of the villagers.

It seems that it is very shameful to contact the villagers, and the villagers are not worth his contact.

"Yayi Zhou, don't you want to listen? You will participate in such corvée every year. If the section you are responsible for does it well and quickly, it should be very helpful to you."

This time, he had a good impression of the other party.

Although that self-righteous sense of superiority was very disgusting.

But this is human nature.

If other common people became yamen runners and had official status, it would probably be the same.

This person is not too bad.

He has a higher status in the county government and a greater influence.

It is better than those beasts with mothers-in-law everywhere in every village!

The most important thing is that the other party is the yamen runner in charge of Tuqiao Village. Selling well and building a good relationship is good for him and the villagers of Tuqiao Village.

After being reminded, Zhou Lang wanted to slap himself in the face.

Yes, if he learned it, he could follow suit in the future. If he did it well, the county lord would appreciate it.

He has a high status in the county government!

"Mr. Zhu, thank you, thank you, you are my benefactor!" Zhou Lang clasped his fists and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhu Di smiled and began to explain to the villagers who came to ask for advice how to reasonably allocate tasks based on their expertise, physical strength, age and other factors.

In fact, it is a coordination problem.

Very simple.

Many times, the reason why we cannot divide the work and cooperate is that everyone is afraid of being at a disadvantage. If the villagers in the same village are not united, it is difficult to organize them.

Zhu Di’s main problem is to explain the fairness of various division of labor arrangements.

…

Some villages even directly invited Zhu Di to help.

After the work started, the effect was soon revealed.

The speed of all villages has increased a lot.

The sun is setting in the west.

It is approaching dusk.

Except for Zhu Di, everyone is exhausted and panting, and has reached the limit of their physical load.

Beep!

Zhou Lang blew the bamboo whistle and shouted: "Everyone has done a good job. Let's stop here today and get off work!"

"It's time to get off work!"

"We've finally finished our work for the day and can rest now!"

...

Zhu Di put down the stone, stood up and looked at the villagers lying on the ground, talking happily.

A few young people in the village who were still a little energetic ran to Zhu Di and couldn't wait to say: "Fourth brother, do you think our fishing baskets have caught any fish?"

"I'm so hungry!"

"Yes, this corvée really consumes too much food. I feel like my belly is sticking to my back."

"I don't ask for a lot of fish, but I hope I can cook a pot of fish soup!"

...

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Then let the uncles take a break, we'll go back and take a look and cook."

"Okay!"

"Listen to Fourth Brother!"

...

Zhu Di said a few words to his eighth uncle and others, and then took a few young people to the river bank.

Zhou Lang was waiting upstairs. When he saw Zhu Di coming up, he hurriedly smiled and greeted him, saying, "Mr. Zhu, thank you so much for your advice today."

"I have nothing to repay you. I want to invite Mr. Zhu to my home for a simple meal."

Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand, "I won't bother you anymore. If you really want to thank me, don't embarrass the villagers when you come to our village in the future."

"We have to hurry back and cook for everyone."

Zhou Lang showed regret on his face, and then patted his chest and promised, "Mr. Zhu is my benefactor. The villagers of Tuqiao Village are Mr. Zhu's fellow villagers, and they are my fellow villagers!"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded.

After a few simple greetings and farewells, he quickly rushed back with a few young people from the same village who couldn't wait...

Zhou Lang stared at Zhu Di's back, shook his head and muttered in confusion, "Why does a scholar who is so capable want to mix with a group of mud legs?"

Seeking monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, investment, and follow-up reading.
