Chapter 54 Disputes
The steam engine was transported to Qingtai Town, but Du Zhongxiao did not ask for instructions to load it up. After a few days, it was transported to Ye County, where iron smelting began, and this thing would be useful. Not to mention being used in mines, such a large machine, as long as it can run, it is always sufficient to use it as a road roller.
April has begun, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, the flowers in spring are fading, and green fruits are everywhere.
The seedlings in the fields grow and enter the slack season. If the diligent old farmers go to the fields to hoe the fields and weed them every now and then they will never be idle all year round. The field businessmen do not have this awareness. Occasionally, they go to the fields to see weeds growing. A few people are talking about it on the ground, and then they return to the village and squat at the entrance of the village to bask in the sun.
We can't blame them for being lazy, this is their lifestyle. When we were pulling, we didn't have a job, so we went home to rest. Do we still practice running by the river? If we don't look for things, the field responsibilities will find things for them, and the road construction and digging project will be launched on a large scale.
Commander Sun strode on the road under construction and shouted loudly to the people in front of him: "Pangdu, why are you taking people to rest again! There are sections of roads in each village, which one cannot finish it, and no meals are allowed on that night!"
Pang Dutou stood up and looked at Commander Sun and said, "Commander, you don't look at where we are allocating. Who is willing to accept your life if you assign a way out like this! They didn't go home because they were for my sake!"
Commander Sun said: "Don't be stubborn! They are all divided by mileage, and everyone is spread over the heads! Let me tell you, how much soil a worker is calculated by the field affairs office, and we will assign the sections of the road!"
Pang Dutou said, "Commander, don't bully me. The yamen's calculations are also divided into grades according to local areas. Soft soil is numbered, hard soil is numbered, and sand and gravel is numbered. If there are puddles and swamps on the road section, each has its own calculations. If we have this section we have assigned, you can come and see, not only are there puddles and swamps, but also countless tree stumps. Do you want to discount them?"
Commander Sun said in a irritable manner: "I have ten villages and hundreds of families in charge, so how can I have time to calculate carefully! I can only be considered unlucky if I get a bad place! It's just a few days to dig a canal, and I'll give you a good place!"
Pangdutou was not willing to follow it. Each section was lined up by the village, and it was not specially arranged. If you were not lucky, next time you dig a canal, you would be assigned to a bad area. Commander Sun would definitely not admit it. It was not a day or two, and no one knew who. When I was pulling the fiber, I lived in concentrated areas, and had military camps and military disciplines. None of them dared not to obey the commander. Now it has been changed to military farming, each with its own villages, land, and all kinds of work to be busy. It is not like before, and I have to fight for what I should fight for, otherwise how can the villagers obey themselves?
Each one has the first one and the second one is the deputy one, and it just happened to be divided into two villages. The original one has become the local security chiefs, in charge of the affairs of the village. They are also working hard, and the other has the best of their own village, so they cannot explain it.
The two of them fought red on the road, and no one dared to give in. Many villagers gathered to watch.
This is the road leading to Qingtai Town. According to the section of the road, the work will be carried out by nearby villagers to repair and the field camp is uniformly accepted. According to the order of the field camp, each village is calculated according to the work. The number of work done in each village is converted into the road section and is responsible for the section. A worker is a work done by a man in a day, which is converted into how many soil and stones are dug, how many trees are planted on both sides, how thick stones are laid, and how much sand is finally flat. According to the soil quality and geography, the places to be constructed are divided into five levels, and each has its own way to calculate the work.
Commander Sun couldn't read the big words, but he just wrote the calculation method clearly. How could he do it? He couldn't do it in detail, and he was always simple and crude. He brought a few people, took big steps, measured the place he assigned to him with his steps, and then spread it down according to the village.
There was a large swamp on the section of roads assigned to Pangdutou Village, all of which had to be filled. There were many large willow trees on the shore of the swamp, and all of them had to be cut down and dug out the roots. The project volume was much larger than that of the village next to it. After working for less than two days, the villagers stopped doing it.
During the reign of Taizu, the conditions for the people who built rivers were too difficult, so the practice of the previous dynasty changed. The people worked for labor and the officials were given grain and rice, two liters per day. Later, this became a common practice in the Song Dynasty. Although the people still did not pay for money to collect rice, they did not have to bring their own dry food.
Du Zhongxiao made some changes according to this principle. First, he no longer distributed rice alone, but converted it into money and grain. As the fire and food expenses of each village, each village cooked a large pot and ate a unified meal. The ancient military system, either a group of five people or a group of ten people, was the most basic organization of the army, which refers to the number of people who fired and cooked together. Words such as partners all came from this meaning. With the development of productivity and the improvement of social organization, this organization no longer conforms to reality. Du Zhongxiao made big pot rice in the village, which actually meant to be used for future military system experiments.
Each village divides the earthwork. According to the requirements of the farming and field business, if the villagers suggest, they can also divide the earthwork down to the heads. The total number of workers required and how many people need to do it is calculated. There are always people doing it fast, some people do it slowly, and those who do it quickly, the same calculation work is calculated, and one more work is done two liters of rice, which is converted into money and paid.
With this regulation, the road sections divided in Pangdutou Village are not good, so others need to do more than twice as much work, which is equivalent to losing a lot of money. How can the villagers be willing to do it? They have been quarreling countless times in the past two days, and until today, it has begun to turn into passive slack work. Who would like to make money?
This is the value of the book "Fangtian". Once you learn it, you can implement the orders of the land camp and the distribution is reasonable. You can't read the big words like Commander Sun and you can't figure it out at all. This kind of conflict will definitely happen.
There was a twelve or thirteen-year-old child in Pangdutou Village. He had read books for two days before, and he found someone to read the booklet, and made a rough calculation. The workload assigned by his village was three times that of the farming and field affairs. The villagers were in a rage and explained it clearly to Pangdutou that if Commander Sun did not reassign the tasks, everyone would not do it. Anyway, one worker was two liters of rice, so he asked him to find someone from another village to do it.
The children actually calculate inaccurately, but they have reasonable evidence and cannot be believed by others. With this basis, the people in the village feel that the work they did two days ago has lost, so they are willing to do it again.
Commander Sun bit himself to death and distributed it equally according to the steps. He had no selfishness and was not afraid of complaining wherever he sued. Pangdu head pulled the child one by one and pointed at the nearby area. Where there were puddles and how big it was, how much earth was needed to be converted. Where there were big trees, how much earth was needed to be converted. That relatively large swamp, from drainage to filling, had to be converted, and it was reasonable to argue.
Exhausted from the quarrel, Commander Sun sat down on the side of the road and said angrily: "If you drag you out in the military camp and get a hundred military sticks, you will still dare to argue! It's a pity that you have no personal soldiers now, you dare to talk back to me!"
Pangdu said disdainfully: "It's funny, everyone has land, but the personal soldiers don't care about their own land? You don't have money and food to pay! We are all eating and working, and we do so much work than others. We originally made money, but now we have to take rice in. Who is willing to listen to you doing whatever you want!"
Commander Sun gasped for a while, and after thinking about it, there was no way to do so. Finally, he had to say, "Forget it, after years of friendship, I will not report to the yamen and ask you for your crime of not obeying military orders! You are honest today, and you will be the one who will be caught to the forefront tomorrow. What will be left to fate if you catch it!"
Pang Dutou said, "Why! The yamen clearly has a constitution, it is clear and fair! A child can calculate the earthwork, but can't the commander calculate it? Find a few people who can calculate it early, so where can there be these disputes!"
