Chapter 29: Coolies
Taifu Mountain, the (nanmu) bamboo forests all over the mountains.
"This is not for special training, it is clearly asked us to be a coolie." Liu Jinbao waved his machete and said with some complaints.
"This is also a kind of training. Now that we are here, no matter what we do, we have to listen to the instructor." Gong Hui slashed the root of the bamboo with a knife, and when she took it back, her pink face turned red.
The not-so-sharp hatchet only left a hole less than three inches on it. It would take seventy or eighty to cut off this bamboo completely.
The bamboo here is too thick, almost like a bucket.
Luo Yao waved his sword like rain.
Dingding...
Ten minutes later, a bamboo that was thicker than his thigh fell down, and his back was soaked.
According to this efficiency, if there are 200 bamboos (large bowl mouth), if the five people score equally, if there is no stop, each person will have to cut for nearly 8 hours to complete for forty.
Judging from their current work efficiency, they will definitely not be able to do it within two days.
If they still fight each other.
The efficiency of the full warehouse is the fastest, but after he cut three pieces, he was so tired that he was breathing, and his strength would be consumed faster and faster!
Have lunch.
After counting the results, five people cut less than thirty bamboos in one morning.
Even if you cut the same amount of bamboo in the afternoon, you can only complete sixty pieces in a day, and the total number of bamboos in two days is only 120. In three days, you can only get enough bamboo materials you need.
This is far from meeting the needs.
what to do?
"Luo Yao!"
"Li Fu, why are you here?" Luo Yao, who was gnawing on dry food, heard someone calling his name. When he looked up, he saw that it was Li Fu, and said in surprise.
"How about it, how many did your team get in the morning?" Li Fu wore a shirt, rolled his sleeves above his forearm, and walked over to ask in three steps.
Luo Yao pointed his hand and said, "Look, that's all."
"Hehe, you are not very efficient. You only got this little in one morning?" Li Fu smiled.
"Team Leader Li, you were not here to mock us on purpose, right?" Gu Yuan walked over unhappily and said with a targeted look on his face.
Li Fu hurriedly said: "No, no, don't get me wrong. I wonder if we two groups can join forces?"
“How to unite?”
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Now we are just some hatches and axes. This is too low-efficiency. If you can get a saw, it will save more effort and speed up." Li Fu said.
"If you want to make a saw, you don't have this ordinary family. You have to find a carpenter who knows how to work in carpentry. We are not familiar with the land. I'm afraid that when we find it, there will be no time left?" Gu Yuan said.
Gu Yuan was right. Although ordinary people also have saws, they need a long saw to put such thick bamboo material. Moreover, people use very few materials for households. It would be amazing if there were thirty or fifty pieces. Therefore, even if it took time and effort, it would be no big problem to do it slowly.
But they are different.
Li Fu smiled and said, "It must be too late to buy it in the town. I found out that there is a village nearby that has a long saw for cutting materials, but people refused to lend it to us. We wanted to buy it, but the other party offered it too high, so..."
"This is your real purpose in finding Luo Yao, right?" Gong Hui walked over, her pretty face covered with crystal beads of sweat, and she asked coldly.
"Gong Hui, who doesn't know this? Luo Yao is the richest in our training class now. If I don't look for him, others will come to him?" Li Fu did not deny it and said openly.
"How many?"
"Three hundred yuan."
"Three hundred, why don't you rob it?" Liu Jinbao exclaimed.
"There is no way. People know that we need it urgently and deliberately blackmail you. You can't come to the door to force it, right?" Li Fu said helplessly.
Luo Yao is indeed rich. Not only did he capture "Peng Renmao" alive, but Yiyang gave him exclusive bonus. Originally, he said that he was 5,000 oceans, but in the end he only gave 3,000. There is no way. It was the secret service that asked for a bounty. If someone else had to ask for a bounty, it would be great if he could get a thousand, and it might not be possible to get it in your pocket.
Also, after arresting Peng Renshuo, Chen Yu personally interrogated him and took someone to copy his nest and seized all the wealth he had hidden.
Luo Yao didn't know how much money it was, but Chen Yu secretly gave him two thousand French coins, which was quite interesting.
The wealth you get is definitely more than ten times that of this number, or even dozens of times. It would be great if you could give a share. There was no hope at all.
According to the current exchange ratio between oceans and fiat currency, Luo Yao is now an absolute rich man, and the richest person among the first batch of students in the special training class, no doubt about it.
"I can pay the money, and we can join forces with the two groups, but the proportion we allocated to the end of the bamboo material we obtained is seven, and you three, how about it?" Luo Yao did not refuse. Obviously, Li Fu had already negotiated with someone.
Only lack of money.
"We just need to complete the task. Is it meaningful to fight for this?" Li Fu frowned slightly.
"Who doesn't want to leave a good impression in front of Deputy Director Yu, what do you think?"
Li Fu said: "Your request is too much. At least this method is what we thought of?"
"You can think of it, and others can think of it. If other groups take the lead, it would be too late." Luo Yao smiled.
"You can't complete the task even if you are beaten by other groups. What's the benefit to you?" Li Fu asked, "Don't think that you have money, just be fearless."
"Yes, I just have money, so I'm not afraid. Besides, I have other ways to do it. It's absolutely okay to complete the task, but you team up..." Luo Yao said deliberately, saying in a long voice.
Li Fu was so angry that he was Luo Yao's rogue face.
"Hurry and decide, we will continue to work after dinner." Luo Yao urged. After experiencing that night's mountain torrent, although some people secretly called him "Sister Luo" in secret, no one dared to underestimate him, who came in through the back door.
"How about June 4th? You six and we four. If you don't agree, then you will part with each other." Li Fu thought carefully and said.
Luo Yao lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Okay, we are also the same group of classmates who entered the training class. If you help you, that is, you will help me."
Then, Luo Yao gave the money happily, and Li Fu took the money, and about half an hour later.
Li Fu brought back four long saws and a flatbed truck for transporting bamboo.
When Li Fu was doing things, how could he give other groups a chance? He got all four long saws for cutting that could be found in the nearest village.
By the time the other groups reacted, it was too late.
They can only go to villages farther away, or rent or buy saws from the city tomorrow morning and come over.
In this way, they will delay at least half a day, and if they get the saw tomorrow and then go into the mountain to cut it down, it will probably be a waste of another half a day.
If there is no other way, the other six groups may not be able to complete the task.
If you cannot complete the task, it will not only be punished, but also a matter of face.
"Old Liu, you are like this..." Luo Yao saw Li Fu bringing a long saw and quietly called Liu Jinbao aside, whispering in his ear.
Liu Jinbao was shocked when he heard Luo Yao's words. Can he still do this?
"Go quickly, no one can do this except you. At that time, you will be able to earn money." Luo Yao urged.
"Really?" Liu Jinbao was shocked and showed a hint of joy on his face. Anyway, he didn't have any cost except running a little bit. What can't be done in this business?
"Be careful and keep it confidential!"
"I know." Liu Jinbao nodded. How could he miss the opportunity to get rich?
...
"What did you two say just now, muttering?" Luo Yao and Liu Jinbao whispered, which attracted Gong Hui's curiosity.
Luo Yao hurriedly explained: "It's nothing. Later, Lao Liu and a group of people will transport bamboo materials back and ask him to bring us the raincoats. That day, it may rain when we go back."
"Is that true?" Gong Hui always felt that Luo Yao was lying to her, but she couldn't see it. Luo Yao didn't want to say it, she couldn't ask anything.
This guy is so lying.
...
Li Fu's reaction was quick, and the others did not respond slowly. Wen Zishan from the second group, Su Li from the fourth group, and Zhang Fengxiang from the seventh group also united. They also thought of the inefficiency of machetes and axes. Only saws are the best tools for cutting bamboo.
However, tools are not so easy to find. First of all, there is no preparation in the class headquarters, and the construction of the auditorium is a temporary decision. Various preparations are insufficient, and it is already quite supportive to be able to equip them with axes and machetes.
If you want to get other tools, you can only find solutions from other aspects.
Everyone thought of borrowing or renting from fellow villagers in villages near Zhulin, but by the time they sent people, they were already one step late.
All "long saws" were bought or rented out by a group of high prices.
Now the other groups were anxious. One group was so sinister that they actually took away all the saws from nearby villages. The team leaders came to Li Fu to argue.
Li Fu was not stupid, so he naturally understood that he had asked Luo Yao to plot against him.
There was no way, and he couldn't tell these team leaders, so he could only admit that all this was done by himself.
This also made the people in one group feel indignant. Why did they misunderstand it? Most of the benefits are allowed to be achieved by the five groups?
Who made them poor?
I could only bear this breath and vent my breath with the bamboo, and my work efficiency was surprisingly high.
However, according to the interests of one group and five groups, part of their results was finally pulled over by five groups.
The group of people were so angry that their noses were crooked, but there was no way. If the two parties had an agreement, they had to admit their accounts. Moreover, without a "long saw", they could not cut down so many bamboos.
...
"Director, the first group of students reported today's results of cutting bamboo. One group was 96, the second group was 73, the third group was 67, the fourth group was 71, and the fifth group was 120..." In the evening, Secretary Liao Xia finished counting the data of each group's cut and came to Yu Jie to report the situation.
"Wait, why is the data of the five groups so different from the data of the other groups?"
"That was when they rented four saws at a high price from nearby village names. The efficiency of cutting was greatly improved, which was much more than other groups who cut them." Liao Xia explained.
Yu Jie couldn't help but smile: "Is this guy Luo Yao the one who did it?"
"I don't know if Luo Yao was cheating, but the person who came out to rent the saw was Li Fu, the leader of the group, four saws, one and five saws were divided into two." Liao Xiadao.
"No wonder." Yu Jie nodded, "At this speed, they can't get the materials to build the auditorium in two days. When will the students from Zhengzhou say?"
"It's about two days later."
"Let them hurry up. We can also buy some long saws and distribute them to use to improve efficiency." Yu Jie ordered.
