Chapter 106: Labor (Part II)
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was strong, Le Xiao felt that she was about to die, and it was an hour and a half before Le Xiao moved the second box of potatoes to the truck, and she almost collapsed and sat next to the wheels, unable to move anymore, and her hands had been ground out of blood blisters.
Even the staff member on the junction tower was a little distracted, he walked down with a glass of water and handed it to Le Xiao.
"To the little sister."
Le Xiao brought it over and said thank you gratefully, her trembling hands almost shook off the water glass, the distance of 10 meters from the field in front of her eyes was so far in Le Xiao's eyes, it turned out that more than 20 kilograms of things were so heavy, so heavy that she needed to rest six or seven times when she moved over.
And this kind of harvesting work is already the easiest job, and it is simply impossible to survive in such a hell for a month, Le Xiao's consciousness is a little blurred.
There are already many people who have moved 4 boxes out, and the time is completely enough, and it can even be overdone.
"Those who exceed the quota will have meat for dinner tonight, and if they exceed the quota by 5 boxes, there will be a special bonus."
Le Xiao gritted his teeth and stood up, his legs were trembling, although he could dig up the potatoes, it was so difficult to pull them out of the ground, looking at Le Xiao's crumbling appearance, many women in the shack laughed.
Le Xiao is almost about to cry, although she was born in the bottom area, she has not done such heavy physical labor since she was a child, because her mother dotes on her very much, and it seems that for her mother, Le Xiao is everything.
Wiping the tears that overflowed his eyes, Le Xiao continued to grit his teeth and dry.
.......
Jean's speed is getting faster and faster, many staff members are helping to take out the light and shadow lockers, there are already more than 20 sheds, and Jean is still moving around, there are hundreds of corn sheds here, and the people who do the work are temporarily left at noon today.
Although you can use machinery to improve work efficiency, but artificial harvesting is the best, and can also provide jobs for those who are level 2, machinery can easily destroy the crops, many times the crops harvested in a field, more than ten kilograms have been crushed, more than ten kilograms in a field, a few meals of food will be lost a year, and the machinery is easy to crush the field, the loose soil is conducive to the absorption and growth of crops, and there is a fragile land nutrient supply pipe under the bottom, it is very troublesome to crush it.
Labor is the most lacking here, nearly 30,000 prisoners in the prison tower, as well as many citizen level 2 people, many will come here to work, especially some desperate, citizen level 1 people, they can only work here for 3 months in a row before they can return to level 2, that is, they can only work for four months to return to level 3.
"Jean doesn't have to rush that way."
Ye Chunwang stood outside the shack, and could only sigh helplessly, he had tried to use mutants to do it before, but it was impossible to achieve the fineness of Jean, not even S-class mutants, and it was impossible for S-level mutants to do this kind of work.
And some powerful mutants will only go to work as backstoppers or bodyguards and the like, or assist some departments in their work, or go to areas where crime is rampant at the bottom.
"Can I help you finish these more than 100 fields today?"
Ye Chunwang nodded, and then said with a smile.
"You'd better work here for a month or two, that's how nice."
Most of the people who work here have severe muscle strain, and although they can be cured with medicine, most of them have become old problems after repeated injuries.
When there is not enough manpower, the people of the agricultural department will help, but there will be additional wages, and the offenders who come to work here are forced labor with zero wage, and those with low citizenship rank are only 500 a month.
Thinking of this, Ye Chunwang could only sigh helplessly, the salary was decided by the business department, from the earliest 300 to 500, this was still in Ye Chunwang's several runs, and finally added up, his original plan was to make the wages of citizens who come to work here 1000 to 1500, but this is basically impossible, because they have to be provided with three meals a day.
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the corn in the entire corn shed planting area had been harvested, and some staff were already sowing.
At a junction tower, Jean looked out the window with his hands on his cheeks, silently smoking a cigarette.
"Jean, can you help talk to the head of the business section and increase the income of the people who work here?"
"You think I'm omnipotent?"
Ye Chunwang sighed, for so many years, Jean has been like a lonely strange person in the upper circle of the entire Bright City, and he has no intersection with the upper circle at all, and naturally there is no circle.
"The circle is too important, Jean, I really don't know what you think, handsome, not short of money, powerful, strong, if you are willing to throw an olive branch, I think most of the powerful people in the city want to climb your thick tree."
Jean smiled and shook his head.
"I prefer to spend the whole day in the fields like this to a lavish banquet, you know."
"That's why, although you have friends, they all have their circle, although they can help you from time to time, and support you, but ah Jean, I've heard that guy Huashen talk about it a long time ago, you really look like a child sometimes, or you can climb back, at least ........"
Jean smiled and glanced at the top floor to the west, where the Congressional Hall was located and the pinnacle of power in the Bright City.
"I'm not going back."
Saying that, Jean stood up with a smile, jumped out of the window, and then jumped onto the roof, quietly overlooking the green fields everywhere, and his heart was extremely happy, in Jean's eyes, all this was really beautiful.
"Jean, you've lived I don't know how many years you've lived longer than me, and you've long passed the age when you like the hustle and bustle, hey!"
"I'll keep doing it for a while, and I'll go when the sun goes down."
Jean said and jumped down.
"I'll get you a good meal for dinner."
Jean said, tilting his head.
"Sorry, it's a lady's birthday tonight."
Looking at Jean who was already far away, Ye Chunwang had an indescribable helplessness in his heart, when he was very young, there was no sun in the sky, and the man in front of him often told him that one day the sun would penetrate the clouds and sprinkle on the earth.
Then the man kept fooling Ye Chunwang, saying that food is the hope of mankind, so he began to study seriously, planted the land seriously, and planted it all his life, he shook his head helplessly.
"It's true, I don't know whether to thank him or scold him, I can only farm in my life."
