Chapter 3 The Last Potato

Now Zhao Chengzhen has become a temporary worker.

The lazy people under his command may not be easy to deal with, but their popularity is not bad, and it was ordered by Liu Duzhu, so there is no major friction for the time being.

They each have their own affairs, some have land to manage, some have small business to manage, and some have elderly, weak, sick and disabled families to take care of. No one really wants to stay here.

"Everyone put down your work first."

They were happy to let them put down their things, and more than a hundred people immediately sat all over the ground under the scorching sun.

After explaining the general idea, Zhao Cheng finally said: "Anyway, I don't want to stay here. I negotiated with Liu Dutou and won some benefits for our work section. Yesterday, the soil volume of our work section was about 1080. Liu Dutou agreed that if two hundred cars were filled with soil, you can go home early without waiting for the sunset."

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhao Cheng pointed at the vicious sun again, "If I were to do it, I wouldn't hesitate. I've come here. Doing more will not mean that I can't die. But even if I don't do anything under such a sun, I'll just lie down. It's a torment. Over time, I'll die. Someone had already suffered from heatstroke yesterday."

I felt that what they said was a little reasonable. Most of these guys were temporarily convinced and were concerned about their family affairs. So before Zhao Cheng could arrange specific arrangements for division of labor and cooperation to improve efficiency, they were like robbing money, carrying shovels and shovels in a row, and shovels when they saw the soil.

Zhao Cheng was almost knocked down by thunder.

But he had to do it. Today's purpose is to achieve the bounty effect. The little bit of emotion is enough. There is no need to divide the work and cooperate, and you can start tomorrow.

A guy didn't move in time. His family was a little rich farmer with a lot of land. He came over and whispered, "Brother Cheng, I really can't stand it. I'll give you five dollars and let me leave now."

He is much older than Zhao Cheng, but the grammar of this era is just this kind of virtue. Sometimes grandfather calls grandson and "Brother".

"Six money." Zhao Cheng extended his hand decisively.

The guy didn't even hesitate, and after giving six money, he chuckled and left the construction site.

Spending money to buy exemption from service is in line with the rules of the Song Dynasty. However, it takes 25 cents a day to pay for this quota in the county government. From the escort to the guards, you have to get some benefits, because the people in the county government have to attract hatred and forcefully capture people who should not have served as the count.

And there is a disadvantage. It is inconvenient for people who are less than a certain level to interact with those people. They spend money to buy exemption, which makes it easy for those masters who are used to eating and drinking to get the food and drink card to suspect that you are easy to talk and have a wealthy family.

Seeing that it was really possible to leave, more than a dozen people came over. Each of them gave six copper coins and left the ball and ran away.

"This money will be distributed to everyone, and they will have a lot of work. Just roll up your sleeves and do it with me."

He promised to share the money, and after taking the lead in joining the work, his enthusiasm has increased. There are people waving shovels everywhere, which is quite dangerous. Zhao Cheng was so scared that he did not dare to work several times. He decided in his heart that in addition to teaching this group of mobs to cooperate tomorrow, he must stipulate some safety regulations...

There is still one hour before sunset, and this section completed the filling volume of 200 trucks in advance.

Those who spend money to leave are the lazy. With them, except for them, they rarely move, and others will not want to move. In fact, military theory is the most expensive, but not the most expensive.

I am a little tired, but overall it is not different from yesterday, and it is even a little better. I don’t have to continue basking in the sun while I’m dizzy. You can go back in advance and sit in the cool down and drink some water.

I was particularly happy that I really divided the money. I had collected more than 100 yuan before, and eighty-three people left behind. Zhao Cheng gave each person a copper coin.

Since I am the one who stayed, even if I don’t have enough money, I won’t think it’s too much. It’s better than not. I just broke up happily...

puff--

Liu Du sprayed out his first mouthful of tea, feeling a little incredible.

The so-called try, in this attempt, the boy really achieved the amount of land in the 200 trucks and dismissed the person one hour in advance. This is not the point. Zhao Cheng came over and stuffed ten copper coins, and the remaining eleven coins were counted as Zhao Cheng himself.

Liu Dutou held the change in his hand, but finally said, "Take it back, just keep the money yourself."

"If it weren't for Liu Dutou's support, it wouldn't be so easy, and there wouldn't be such money. Is it a little less? Is it necessary to give it?" Zhao Cheng said.

Liu Dutou laughed again, "If you say this guy has a future, you don't believe it, give him a bowl of tea."

Someone immediately made a bowl of tea from a large pot for Zhao Cheng. This is not even big leaf tea. It is almost waste tea roots and cooked together in a large pot. However, it has a tea flavor and is always better than white water, and it is still boiling water.

After drinking the tea, Zhao Cheng said again: "Why don't Liu Tou, I will give me two more groups tomorrow?"

Liu Du touched his chin and hesitated for a while, "Give it all to you, will you mess it up?"

"Self-serving for the country, you must not mess it up."

To put it this way, Zhao Cheng vaguely thought of the scene of more than a thousand shovels flying around tomorrow. It was really stressful...

I had more time today. On the way back to the city, I saw a few children picking up firewood not far away. Zhao Cheng did not have a very simple personality, but his characteristic was that he was able to adapt to the environment, so he joined in and planned to pick up some and burn it home.

There was a seven-year-old girl with messy hair and dirty face. She was carrying her younger brother who was over one year old. She picked up two piles of hands and feet quickly tied them up, and passed by with firewood in one hand.

The younger brother on his back suddenly burst into tears. The little girl put down the firewood, took out half a fist-sized rice ball, and fed it to her brother. She also secretly ate two bites, and carefully packed the rice ball.

The little girl looked at Zhao Cheng again and said timidly: "You are not very good at doing work."

"Then what are your good ideas?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"Just sell Baoer's firewood to you, it only costs three cents. My mother said that you scholars are expensive and not worth a waste." The little girl bit her finger.

"Haha, I bought it. If you have it tomorrow, I will buy it too."

Zhao Cheng deliberately gave her one more document, paid her four copper coins, and then took the firewood onto the cart and left.

"Baoer has made money, Baoer has made money..."

The little girl seemed to have taken advantage of her with her hands and feet. In fact, Zhao Cheng knew that buying these firewood in the city would cost six cents because there was a firewood gang in the middle that was monopolizing.

It’s okay to pick up some and burn it yourself, but if you want to sell it in the city, you will definitely have to hand it over to the Chaihuo Gang at a low price, otherwise there will be endless troubles. The Song Dynasty was the dynasty with the most gangs in the entire history, and gangs were formed in almost any industry...

After delaying this, when he entered the city, he met Liu Dutou, who was riding a horse later. He called him to tell me about tomorrow.

It can be heard that Old Liu is neither good nor bad. He still wants to do the tasks assigned by the county government. He has to be a monk for a day and has a realization that he really has.

After entering the city, I found that the two rascals were lying in the shade yesterday, and there was a very beautiful lady carrying a basket of wild vegetables. She was obviously afraid of the two gangsters, so the beautiful lady avoided her in panic.

Then the two gangsters stood up and followed the beauty into a secluded alley.

Zhao Cheng actually doesn’t want to be a hero to cause trouble for himself. The most important thing is that one of the gangsters is actually playing with a potato?

"That must be the potatoes that followed me through."

When Zhao Cheng saw it, he thought to himself that he didn’t know whether the strange incident that seemed to flash the monitor last night was related to potatoes. But even if it was useless, he would have to come and eat it.

And if these two thugs are not suppressed, the days ahead will never be able to live... In this way, Zhao Cheng looked at Lao Liu with a strange expression.

"Speak when you have something, hesitate."

Liu Dutou really thinks he is useful now and likes him more.

Zhao Cheng said, "I have just recovered from a serious illness and have nothing at home. The only small object was left by my parents and was stolen."

Liu Dutou couldn't help but be furious, "I know who did it?"

Zhao Cheng said: "I saw them just now."

"Go ahead and take me there."
