Chapter 12: In hand, follow me

This afternoon, Xu Ping and Xiuxiu tossed liquor in the small courtyard, until it was almost dark, and they made another alcohol lamp.

At dinner, Xiuxiu went to the kitchen to get a few steamed buns, and there was still duck meat left over from cooking duck soup in the pot. Xu Ping was tired of it, and she didn't eat the duck meat at all, so she gave it to Xiuxiu, which made her feel very embarrassed, until she finished cleaning up, I don't know how many times I asked Xu Ping if he was uncomfortable.

When he came to the study, Xu Ping lit the alcohol lamp, and thankfully, it was much brighter than the oil lamp last night.

Xu Ping was interested, and he didn't stop until he finished writing the upper, middle and lower mouths, and the sun, moon, water, volcanic stones.

Xiuxiu looked at the words on the table, and muttered in a low voice while reading with Xu Ping: "This poem is not a poem, the words are not words, and it doesn't read well, let alone what it means, how to connect them?" ”

Xu Ping also felt awkward, in fact, he couldn't remember the texts he learned when he was a child, and he had the impression that there seemed to be a small plot, which was not like this.

But he didn't let people say to Xiuxiu: "You don't learn poetry and lyrics, you just know words, and you have to learn like this to recognize words!" ”

Xiuxiu pouted, not believing it very much, but fortunately, she was still very serious about learning.

Xu Ping sighed, he couldn't make up textbooks if he continued to teach, it seemed that he still had to find two books such as "Miscellaneous Words" and "Thousand Character Text" to teach Xiuxiu.

The next day, Xu Ping found Xu Chang and took a few villagers to the library to inspect farm tools. The so-called work wants to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, not to mention that this is Xu Ping's old business.

Because it was often necessary to take it, the farm tool warehouse was not locked, and several people went straight in.

The farm tools were placed quite neatly, Xu Ping looked at the same time, and sighed while looking at it, the farm tools here were too different from his previous life.

For example, let's talk about this plow first, at this time, he has already used a curved plow, which is true, but it is not a real thing he has seen in his previous life. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of plows, one is the Chinese plow, also known as the Oriental plow, which is characterized by turning the soil in situ and leaving no obvious furrow. The other is the Western plow, that is, the European plow, which turns the soil sideways and has a pronounced furrow. The Chinese plough is suitable for farming, suitable for China's small peasant society, and the Western plough is suitable for large-scale farming, especially for mechanization, so the Western plough has completely replaced the Chinese plough in Xu Ping's previous life. Now it is a small-scale peasant society, and the Chinese plow is just right, but in some special occasions where the plow is applied, such as ditching, such as collecting root crops, the Chinese plow is still somewhat unsuitable.

Speaking of the cocoon for farming, Xu Ping's previous life has been replaced by a seeding machine. The difference between the two is that the cocoon uses the gravity of the seed to passively plant, and the seeder uses the power to actively plant. Don't underestimate the difference between passive and active, this is the essence of Xu Ping's agricultural machinery, only by changing passive to active, can we carry out precise manual control.

As for other sickles and hoes, they are naturally not as good as the various optimized shapes that have been carried out in the previous life.

In addition to the principle, the difference in materials is also fatal. In this era, high-quality steel is still hard to come by, and it is difficult to widely use it in agricultural tools. Most farm tools are made of ordinary pig iron and wrought iron, which have to be made thick and bulky.

After looking at everything, Xu Ping thought about it, and it would take several steps to transform farm tools. First, we must first change the material and get high-quality steel, otherwise it will be difficult to make things useful. The other is to manufacture suitable agricultural machinery and tools for specific agricultural operations.

This is his old profession, although there is no motivation, can not do mechanization, but the use of large livestock and suitable machinery and tools, for semi-mechanization is still hopeful. In fact, in his previous life, China spent decades on this, and the old stationmaster's youthful years were spent on this, and he also learned a lot.

New China's machinery industry, originally developed with national defense and agriculture as the original driving force, until the time of Xu Ping's crossing, agriculture and its related industries and national defense industry are still the symbol of the industrial development level of all countries in the world. It is no coincidence that the overlap between the tank producing countries and the tractor producing countries is not a coincidence, since ancient times, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, farming and warfare are the foundation of the country.

According to the experience of semi-mechanization in rural China in the previous life, steel is not to mention, there are several key mechanical parts that are necessary. First, bearings, no matter how rough and how high the cost, this is indispensable. Another chain and gear, these are not necessary, but it is better to have them.

While Xu Ping was thinking about it, a gloomy voice came: "Da Lang is really anxious, can't he wait for a moment?" ”

Turning his head, it turned out to be Granny Hong, who was looking at herself with a calm face.

Xu Ping was a little confused: "What did my mother-in-law say?" ”

Granny Hong took out a large set of keys from her body and said to Xu Ping: "I haven't handed over this key for a day, the right is not in Dalang's hands, and you can't say it when you come to check the library!" ”

Xu Ping thought for a while before he suddenly realized.

Right, this is right! The power of the government is a symbol, and the power of the family is the key. The new daughter-in-law worships her in-laws, and the sign of the mother-in-law's handover is to hand over the key to the family's cash box.

It seems that my father and mother did not break their promise and asked Granny Hong to come back and hand over the power.

Xu Ping naturally wouldn't have a verbal dispute with a woman, so he just took the key from Granny Hong without saying a word, and checked the warehouse one by one.

In fact, a grange is nothing, nothing more than granaries, grass sheds, farm tools, all kinds of livestock, as for the things used at home, they are still managed by Granny Hong.

Xu Chang followed behind with Gao Daquan and a few other villagers, although he was happy in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face. Granny Hong, a woman who loves to hold grudges, made him see that he didn't know when he would have to wear small shoes.

After all the handovers were in place, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said to Granny Hong in unison: "Thank you mother-in-law, mother-in-law has worked hard!" ”

Granny Hong gave everyone a vicious look and left unwillingly.

The mother-in-law of the prefect, this name is appropriate, just like the county and the state, which is very in line with the characteristics of the current times, but there are a lot of ridicule in everyone's words.

Xu Ping flipped the key in his hand and said to a few people with a smile: "Now the power is in my hands, you go with me!" ”

Everyone laughed together and walked to the front yard with Xu Ping.

Call all the villagers, come to the wheat field outside the door, and everyone will listen to Xu Ping's words.

Xu Ping didn't manage people much in his previous life, and his only management experience was to work with migrant workers, and the only management theory came from a booklet by the old stationmaster: "Militia Military Training Manual".

The old stationmaster is also a wonderful person, he does things at a glance, and the things issued by the public are classified and kept extremely well. So the library of their agricultural machinery station is full of such books, "Militia Military Training Manual", "Barefoot Doctor's Manual", "100,000 Whys", "Simplification Iron Furnace", "Frying Steel Furnace Steelmaking", "Soil Method Coking", "Soil Method Bearing", and so on, of course, the core is the set of "Agricultural Machinery Design Manual". These books have a history of names, all of them are from the special period and the era before it, and were they distributed for free at that time? As for the books from that era onwards, most of them were books like "How to Raise Goats" and "How to Raise Carp", which were not in line with their professional donkeys. The new generation of "Agricultural Machinery Manual" was a long time later, but the price of a few hundred yuan was unaffordable for the funds of the agricultural machinery station, and there was no one in the library.

Xu Ping did not have a family in his previous life, and has been living alone in the agricultural machinery station. The station's computers were old and insanely slow, and he spent a lot of his time in the library, spending a lot of time on these bizarre books.

Looking at the yellowed papers, Xu Ping felt like he was flipping through the history of a different world. He couldn't imagine what kind of era it was, and between the lines, he could feel that everyone in the whole country, from top to bottom, was ready to go to war at any time. Science and technology workers are immersed in one thing, if the earth is in ruins, how to use their knowledge to rebuild human civilization as quickly as possible, or how to lead the Chinese people to quickly restart industrial society. Perhaps there is knowledge that he has no access to, and that knowledge is where other technologists are working on how to make the Earth a ruin. He could feel that there was a big fried egg hanging above the heads of the Chinese at that time, and it was really an indescribable feeling to feel the hearts of the people at that time. He still clearly remembers the beginning of the "Militia Military Training Manual": common sense of air defense, anti-atomic, and anti-chemical, without any fancy words, and the beginning is clear!

Although he does not have much management experience, Xu Ping also knows that the core of a team is organizational ability.

With the help of Xu Chang, he was named, although the person who answered was giggling, there were all kinds of things, and he finally figured out the human resources under his hands.

At this time, there were a total of 32 people in the village, of which six were full-time sheep and cattle herding, two were full-time to take care of the vegetable garden, three were to take care of the orchard and miscellaneous chores, and 21 people were usually working in the fields.

Twenty-one people, facing tens of thousands of acres of land, this joke is a bit big.

However, the capital given by my father is only 100 yuan, and I can't afford to hire people anymore, so I can only find a way to get a way from these people, unless Xu Ping comes up with a way to get quick money.

Looking at the crowd, Xu Ping's first reaction was to group them according to the military establishment. In his experience, migrant workers naturally have foremen, and he doesn't have to worry about it, and the source of his theory is naturally the militia establishment.

There are more than 30 people, just divided into three classes, and the class is divided into groups, which is simple and easy.

Xu Ping said what he meant, which immediately attracted controversy, first of all, in the name, the term "team" Zhuang Ke could not understand and could not accept.

Xu Ping didn't insist, he was chaotic for a while, and decided to divide all the bankers into three classes, the head is called the charge class, and then divide the group, and the head of the gang is the leader.

Seeing that there was no longer anything to argue, Xu Ping asked everyone to go back and discuss how to divide it by himself. The general principle was set, one shift was responsible for grazing the orchard and vegetable garden chores, and the other two shifts followed Xu Ping to work.

Watching everyone giggle back, Xu Ping sighed. The militia manual was good in everything, but it was too brief when it came to organization. In particular, the organization of the team places an extreme emphasis on listening to the opinions of ordinary members, and there is little mention of how to maintain discipline.

Xu Ping knew the importance of discipline very well, but how could he meet a villager of the same quality as the militia at that time?
