At some point, Diao Si woke up. He was in very good spirits, his energy had basically recovered, and the wound on his back had almost recovered.
However, when he came to inspect the fields, he found that most of the farm workers were idle and had nothing to do. Some were just working on their own houses and other private things.
These bastards really want to live and work in peace, and they get lazy when they see that there is plenty of food. They have forgotten the main purpose of coming here. This is a food base, not their settlement.
"Okay, everyone has had enough rest, right? Get together now. Today we will expand the planting area several times!" Diao Si said as he walked to the command point and looked at the map.
"But we have cultivated so much land now, how can we manage it if we expand it several times..." The small leaders of the farm workers kept expressing some lazy opinions. They sang to each other and found many reasons. .
Diao Si glared at them and responded: "You now have tens of thousands of people, and more and more slave monsters are joining you. You can manage the entire planting area of Chihu City. We manage such a large planting area there." , we don’t need so many people.”
"Can't we wait until the slave monsters multiply before expanding the planting area? These should be the slave monsters' work..." There are also small bosses who keep raising questions.
Diao Si walked up to those people and said to them: "Is this the slave's job? Don't you need to eat?... Listen, I will deal with some lazy guys when necessary. I don't want it to be one of you." personal."
After Diao Si said this, those people fell completely silent. These guys really can't be relaxed about them, because they have too many bad qualities, especially laziness, which is impossible to change in a short time.
We should add some more incentive measures. After all, the food crisis here is over now. We should take the second step. More incentive mechanisms, set some examples, and stimulate the enthusiasm of these people for work, so that we can gradually build this place. Become a new food base.
But just as Diao Si led these farmers and workers to open up several planting areas one after another, he discovered the people sent by Lei Pi to monitor them. These people should have seen that he was safe and sound.
Diao Si had an ominous premonition again, because it was now a time when he and Lei Pi were in conflict. By opening up new planting areas in this way, he would be getting closer and closer to Lei Pi's town, which would easily lead to new conflicts. of friction.
After a tiring morning, those people all rested at noon. Diao Si realized that as the planting area gradually expanded, their management and facilities must keep up, otherwise trouble would easily occur. .
Ou Ya happened to appear at this time, so Diao Si studied a new management mechanism with her, such as selecting some activists among the farmers and workers as hierarchical managers, and making everyone's name information into a List, file management, etc.
In this way, Ouya also proposed that she build some small workshops for craftsmen, blacksmiths, carpenters, etc. here to meet the daily needs of these tens of thousands of people. This suggestion is not bad. Diao Si has actually wanted to make some big speakers for a long time, but he always screams so loudly that his throat is broken.
After spending some time, Diao Si and Ou Ya divided the farm workers into responsible areas according to individuals, and then divided the management levels level by level. This also freed up a lot of people, so they continued to move to larger areas after a break. The location of the area is plowed over.
Ouya has not yet accepted this speed of development. She originally studied management knowledge professionally, but it is still not easy for her to adapt to such new concepts as Diao Si. But she was very happy to see such a development speed.
According to this plan, they will be able to cover the entire planting area of Chihu City in a few days, but by then they will also surround the towns inside. Because their current relationship is still tense, Ou Ya also proposed that it is not appropriate to approach Lei Pi's town for the time being.
Regarding this dilemma, Ou Ya was also aware of the possible crisis, so she sent a military team back to the imperial city to ask Ou Suo for instructions on the current situation, hoping that Ou Suo could communicate with the Lei Gang family to resolve this conflict.
The day passed in a hurry.
The next morning, when Diao Si made his usual inspection to the area close to Lei Pi's town, he found that there were already many people from Lei Pi's army on duty there. It was obvious that Lei Pi wanted to draw a clear line with them and prevent them from continuing to approach the town.
Isn't this an obvious attempt to interfere with Diao Si's food base mission? Diao Si didn't care about her, and he wanted Lei Pi to accept something. This was Queen Osuo's request, so he didn't believe she dared to intervene.
Diao Si summoned another group of prepared agricultural workers. Regardless of the soldiers standing guard, he continued deep into the town and began to organize the land and prepare for irrigation and sowing. In this way, when the soldiers saw it, they immediately sent people back to the town to report. At the same time, they stayed on those highlands and did not retreat.
Those farmers and workers may have noticed something. They didn't dare to get too close to the soldiers, which would have a certain impact on their work. But Diao Si didn't do anything to those soldiers, because Ou Ya had advised him, and he didn't want to give Lei Pi an excuse to act wild.
They got together in such a disharmonious manner until a large group of people came out of the town. The farm workers became worried, and the leaders came to ask Diao Si for instructions on whether they should retreat some distance first.
Diao Si did not agree to this request and told them that there would be no danger. In this way, Ouya came over from the other side again. She should have come here after hearing the news about Lei Pi's big move.
Sure enough, it was Lei Pi again. Diao Si had already recognized her, and the little girl Lei Ji who attacked Ou Ya last time was also here. Diao Si also wanted her to bleed some blood to make up for the hole in the black robe. Woolen cloth.
"Lord Ou Ya, why did you grow here? Can't you develop to the other side of the Blazing Lake?" Lei Pi said after seeing Ou Ya. She was quite calm and did not immediately accuse her.
Before Ou Ya could think of how to answer, Diao Si spoke first: "Your Majesty, this is the request of Emperor Chi. We must build the entire Chi Lake City into a new food base. It is only a matter of time before we develop here." ”
Hearing what Diao Si said, Lei Pi couldn't really answer the question, because the name of the Blazing Emperor was revealed, and any objection she had would be a violation of national law. After such a moment of pause, Ou Ya signaled Diao Si not to say any more disrespectful words towards the earl.
Maybe because he saw Ouya signaling to Diao Si like this, Lei Pi became stubborn again and said to Diao Si: "I am talking to Mr. Ouya. Don't interrupt me. Think about yourself."
She was changing the subject, and Diao Si could naturally think of her purpose, so he did not want to be vindictive with her, and continued: "We have been approved by Emperor Chi, and are now developing in the most reasonable and fastest way. , how could it be disconnected like this and then develop on the other side of the Blazing Lake... "
What he said made sense, but Lei Pi pretended not to hear it at all, and continued to raise her concerns with Ou Ya, saying that those farm workers might steal their things, conflict with her soldiers, etc. She hoped that Ou Ya Will keep a little distance.
In this way, Ouya finally spoke. She confirmed Lei Pi's concerns and promised to keep a distance from Lei Pi's town. However, she also clearly told Lei Pi that they would assist in all the territories of Chihu City. Planting work, so covering the entire Blazing Lake City is a matter of time.
Hearing what Ou Ya said, Lei Pi's expression turned ugly. She sighed and looked around, and then suddenly said: "Chihu City is the fiefdom of my Lei Gang family. We have lived here for several generations. How could it be cut off by you like this..."
"Lord Earl, no one wants to cede your fiefdom. You must know that these lands belong to the Blazing Empire. Now the empire is facing a food crisis. I just want to establish a food base here..." Diao Si also explained in a gentle tone. , not giving Lei Pi a chance to vent his dissatisfaction at all.
Or maybe, the reason why Ou Suo wanted to move here was to recapture such an important food base. Who said Lei Pi mismanaged it? This was completely caused by her. Ou Suo could also be said to be helping her.
Lei Pi is helpless now. This is one disloyalty that will never be used again. (To be continued)
