Chapter 37 Transporting labor back to the base 2
"Brother, here we are." A word interrupted Zhang Yang's thinking.
"Where are you?"
"Of course, I'm in Liujia Village." Shi Xin said.
"Time goes by so fast?"
"It's so fast. I'm spending the night like a year!" Shi Xin complained.
After the sail in the middle of the night, both arms were exhausted. Fortunately, it was a downwind when I went back, and I didn't need myself.
"Dip the sail and stop the boat." Zhang Yang ordered.
Shixin loosened the rope on the sail, and the sail slowly fell down.
"Oh, I can finally rest." Shi Xin let go of his hands and kept shaking his arms.
Li Bo raised his rudder and slowly leaned the boat to the shore.
Finally, the boat reached the shore.
Put down the board and put it between the bow and the shore. Zhang Yangxin walked to the shore.
"Shixin, follow me up." Zhang Yang saw Shixin lying on the deck and couldn't get up, and immediately said.
"Why do you want me to go? Can't you go by yourself?"
"All right, you'll take the helm when you go back."
"Okay, okay, I'll go, can't I?" Shi Xin stood up listlessly.
At least I'm a contractor. I have to have a subordinate to look like this.
"Dadman, the boat is coming to pick us up. Come out!" Liu Tongyu observed on the shore and saw Zhang Yang and Shixin getting off the boat. He immediately shouted to the bamboo forest behind him.
With Liu Tongyu's voice, a group of people gushed out of the bamboo forest.
At first glance, Zhang Yang was very satisfied. At the second glance, his face drooped. At the third glance, he almost sprayed fire.
"What I want is the labor force of the prime, excluding women and children." Zhang Yang said.
"Hey, you little boy, don't wipe your nose on my clothes!"
"Why did you take this humming pig with you? I don't run a farm! I'm going to open a factory!"
Zhang Yang was extremely annoyed. How did the promised middle-aged labor force become to take care of the family? Why don't you just move?
Liu Tongyu was also embarrassed: "As soon as they went home and said that the family was worried, they all followed. Besides, there is no food at home. When they leave, the family loses their labor, and they can't support it any more. Later, Liu Tongyu's voice became lower and lower.
Zhang Yang looked at the group of people in front of him. They were all ordinary villagers. Among them, the middle-aged labor force was probably the pillar of the family. He only took them away and did not allow them to go home. How should the rest of the family live? Isn't it a little selfish to do it yourself?
They couldn't take their eyes off Zhang Yang, and their eyes were full of expectation, longing, and a little uneasy.
"Brother, let's take them together. Anyway, the base is big enough to let them stay in the living area in the west and not go anywhere else. Anyway, we have enough food, and these people are enough to eat for two or three years..."
What is the most important thing in troubled times? It's the heart! Such an idea suddenly flashed in Zhang Yang's mind.
"All right, let's get on the boat together!" Zhang Yang agreed.
"Mao, hurry up, get on the boat."
"Mao's father, put the pig on your back. We can get on the boat."
"Mom, let's go, let's get on the boat."
The crowd became noisy and pushed onto the boat.
"Uncle, if you go there, don't you have to starve?" A child asked Zhang Yang vividly.
"Well, don't worry, when you get there, your father does the work and gets the money every day. If you get the money, you can buy rice." Zhang Yang said.
"There will be no one else to collect rent, right? My family had food, but it was taken away by the landlord.
"Don't worry, the 20 cents a day is all yours." Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said, "After everyone goes, each family will be given a hundred catties of grain first. After that, it will be up to everyone's labor."
"What? Do you give 100 catties of food to each household? This is great!" Everyone is very excited.
"This waterway is not easy to walk. Everyone goes to the cabin. Without my order, it's better not to come out." Zhang Yang stood in the bow of the ship, saw that people had entered the cabin, stood in the bow of the ship, and said lightly.
They can't know where to go. At present, the most important thing is to keep it confidential.
"Don't worry." Liu Tongyu said, "I have told you this in advance. We are going to a secret place, and we can't leak the news."
This... Zhang Yang glanced at Liu Tongyu. This old man is too straightforward, isn't he? There is no such instruction.
Looking at people staying in the cabin at ease, Zhang Yang put down the curtain of the cabin. He Shixin, Liu Bosheng said, "Let's go!"
Shixin raised his sail again, and Liu Bosheng took the helm at the stern of the ship.
The strong east wind blew the sails and drove west along the Chelu River, full of people who yearned for a better life.
After tossing all night, when I drove into Desheng Lake, it was already dawn.
The lake is still beautiful, still circling around like a maze, but Zhang Yang is no longer big, because he has an extra waterway map on his hand.
The picture is drawn on a piece of coarse cloth with a brush. Although straw paper is more economical, it is on the water. If you don't pay attention to it, you will be sad if you are blown into the water by the wind.
The lines are crooked, there is no scale, no illustration, only a curved line, and the distribution of various reeds is clearly shown on it. One of the particularly strong ones is the boating route.
It's a bit like a treasure map.
Compared with the waterway map, Zhang Yang understood a little. It seems that the peak turns around, but in fact, there are completely traces to follow. After walking a few more times, you can keep the waterway in mind.
After walking for more than an hour, Base 3 finally appeared in front of us again.
The outside is still lush, but from the cracks in the leaves, you can see some changes inside. Some wooden houses have been built.
You should cover it with some turf, so that you can't see anything. Zhang Yang thought of it secretly.
The ship stopped on the rock on the shore. Shixin jumped off the boat and tied the cable. He slept on the deck and immediately looked refreshed.
"Okay, let's get off the boat!" Zhang Yang said.
The curtain of the cabin opened, and the people inside gushed out one by one.
"Brother, are there so many people?" A voice came from my ear.
Needless to say, just listen to this tone and you will know it's Tanghe.
"What? Don't you like it?"
"I like it, of course I like it." The more people you have, the more power you can exercise. The feeling of directing people to work is really good.
"How many sheds have been built in the past two days?" Zhang Yang asked, "There are a lot of people coming this time. I don't know if it's enough?"
"This..." Tang He looked at the crowd gushing out like dumplings, and a cold sweat appeared on his head: "Well, there seems to be a little too many people. In the past two days, I have commanded those people, and only a dozen sheds have been covered, and it seems that they are still half short."
"Has the warehouse been built yet?" Zhang Yang asked.
"The warehouse is built first, and the food is our **." Tang He said that he had food in his hand, and he was not panicked.
"These people, you must settle down. This is the basis for our future development. I promise that each household will receive 100 catties of grain first. You will fulfill it later. In the past two days, you will still do infrastructure construction. You will lead them to build the shed, build more warehouses, and the construction sites in the north and south will also be opened up. The center's watchtowers. Establish it and let Uncle Liu assist you and choose one or two people from them as helpers. Zhang Yang said a lot in one breath.
I heard that the soup and mouth gradually opened and couldn't close.
"What? Brother Dingchen, is it difficult? Do you want me to ask Bo Sheng to stay and help you? Looking at Tang He's expression, Zhang Yang knew that it was a little difficult for this man who only knew how to fight on the battlefield to do these trivial things of logistics.
"No, no, when the eldest brother returns to the base next time, everything will be done." Tang He said. If you want to be the leader, it's not fun to be a person.
"It's just a difficult problem."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Yang asked.
"I only have two big pots here. There are so many people. How can I eat?" Tang He asked.
"Well... You can make porridge in the next two days. Hold on for a few days. Next time I come back, I will prepare all these things." Zhang Yang said.
Seeing that everyone was on the shore, Zhang Yang turned around and walked to the boat.
"Brother, since you're here, you can go around. I'll catch a duck for you. My roast duck is getting better and better these days." Tang He said hurriedly when he saw that Zhang Yang was leaving.
"Forget it, I have to rush back. I guess the salt ship is almost in Dongtai. I have to rush back to the salt ship and transport the salt to Yangzhou." Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly. In the past two days of labor intensity, he was also exhausted. There was nothing he could do. He was so tired when he first started his career. When he had capital, he could enjoy it.
But looking at the cheering crowd, Zhang Yang felt that what he is doing now is still worth it. With these people, his own base will have vitality and vitality.
"Shixin, sail!" Zhang Yang shouted.
