After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Before Liu Bai could figure out whether to go find the wood first or start without delaying the trip, the coachmen had already started arguing.

The two cartmen who had lost the wood were worried that they would be held accountable. They took Liu Fei and the other three cartmen on duty last night and questioned them for not paying attention to the duty last night. They must have gone to sleep secretly, which was the reason why their carts were missing wood.

The coachman on duty definitely didn't want to be suspected like this, and scolded the two of them for not caring about their own cars, and snoring loudly while sleeping.

Liu Fei was the vice-captain. Although he felt aggrieved by being scolded, he did not dare to say anything and could only break up the fight.

Only then did Liu Bai realize that the transportation matter was not as simple as imagined.

He took a deep breath and roared: "Shut up! What are you arguing about? We are all in the same team. If anything happens, everyone is responsible. Including me and Liu Fei, we are all involved!"

After all, he was the captain, and Qin Yao was here to take charge. The conflict was stopped in time and did not escalate further.

This roar calmed down Liu Bai's panicked mind a lot. He called out the people on duty last night and asked if they had noticed anything strange. He tried to find the lost wood as much as possible.

The wood was heavy, so one person definitely couldn't do it. The thieves would probably be two or more.

Moreover, he was carrying such a heavy thing and the wooden target was huge. If he had to chase him now, it was still possible to catch up.

Liu Fei, who was on duty in the first half of the night, and another coachman both said they found nothing unusual.

However, in the middle of the night, when it was almost dawn, they seemed to hear the sound of the horses at the inn, but it disappeared soon. They thought it was the people at the inn getting up to go to the latrine, so they didn't pay attention.

When Liu Bai heard this, he immediately asked Liu Fei to take the two coachmen to the stable to check. They found a ball of trampled horse dung. Judging from the direction of the footprints, they were heading northwest.

"It must be the footprints left by thieves!" the experienced driver pointed at the ball of horse dung and said firmly.

Because the horse manure was trampled very deeply, only those who carried heavy loads could have such deep footprints.

Without even thinking about it, Liu Fei immediately called four or five drivers and chased him northwest.

Along the way, more and more traces were discovered.

But the sun was rising right before my eyes. If I continued to chase, today's trip would definitely be delayed.

The stationery factory was in urgent need of wood for production. Thinking of this, Liu Fei became very upset and hated himself for not being cautious enough last night to allow thieves to take advantage of the loophole.

But he still stopped the coachmen who were about to pursue him, "We're back."

"Can't find the wood?" the coachmen asked in confusion.

"I'm done looking for it. I can't find it again." There's no time to look for it.

The third sister-in-law said that things should be prioritized. If two logs are lost, two more logs can be brought back next time.

And if factory production falls behind because their raw materials are not delivered in time, the delivery deadline will be delayed!
Obviously, the latter is more important.

Liu Fei waved and led the coachmen back to the inn, panting, and shook his head at Liu Bai, "I can't find it. Let's set off first. The lost wood will be on my account and will be deducted from my wages."

"How can that be done?" The other three coachmen on duty grabbed Liu Fei. They were much older than him. To be honest, Liu Fei had to be called uncle. How could the elders have the nerve to let a junior take the responsibility for them?

If anyone knew this, they would be scolded to death!
"Captain, just deduct it from the wages of the four of us." The other three drivers said in unison.

Liu Bai snorted and looked at all the drivers: "You all have to take deductions. I, the captain, will take the majority of the deductions with the four of them, and you will share the rest equally!" Some people were dissatisfied, but before they could speak, they heard Liu Bai say: "We are training Have you always memorized the ten rules of the code? What does the last one say?"

Liu Fei knew this and raised his hand actively to answer: "Unite and love each other, share responsibilities, work together, face difficulties together, and never fall alone!"

Suddenly, no one spoke anymore.

Liu Bai nodded, "This is the first time something has happened to our team, and it will also be the last time. We won't do it again!"

There is another important thing he wants to announce again, "Starting from today, the two teams of drivers on duty at night must remember to check the number of the vehicle and the amount of wood on the vehicle before changing the guard. Whoever cannot take care of it will be responsible for it!"

"Also, other drivers who are not on duty should take care of their own cars. Don't think that you can sleep peacefully by asking others to look after them for you. Do you hear me?"

The drivers nodded and began to think about how to prevent theft.

When passing through the town, someone took advantage of the lunch break to buy some bells, intending to hang them on the ropes tied to the wood, so that if thieves came over, the bells would ring when they touched them, thus scaring the thieves away.

It is this bell that is hung on the car, and it jingles when we are on the road, making people's ears weirdly noisy.

But the effect of preventing thieves is really good. When it is quiet at night, the bell suddenly rings, and all the coachmen are awakened. Before they start, the thieves have already run away.

Liu Fei felt that there was a loophole in the bell and the vehicles were parked scattered. It was not impossible for thieves to attack in the east or west.

So I bought a large bundle of straw from the villagers in the field, and weaved a thick straw rope while driving the car. I parked the car together at night, circled it with the straw rope, and tied a bell on the rope, and the person on duty would follow suit. Rotate around the rope and focus on care.

Moreover, Liu Fei also studied the height of the rope. It should be tied just to the waist of the car so that the wood underneath cannot be pulled out. If the wood placed high up is tried to be lifted out, it will definitely hit the bell.

Qin Yao came to observe out of curiosity, and secretly sighed: This bell array gives thieves a headache just looking at it.

After this incident, it can be seen that the brothers can lead the team well.

Liu Bai is steady, has an overall view, and can take on tasks.

Liu Fei knows priorities, stops losses in time, has a quick mind, is loyal, and can get along well with the coachmen.

With the two brothers in the team, big problems can't arise, and small problems can be solved by oneself. Qin Yao put down the mental arithmetic for the two of them.

As for the two pieces of wood that were thrown away, just treat them as tuition fees.

One day during the transportation, Liu Bai and Liu Fei suddenly thought of Qin Yao, who was relaxed and relaxed on horseback. With her ability, how could the convoy be robbed?

Even if she was robbed, would the thief still be able to escape from her hands?What a powerful thief!
"Did Sister-in-law let the thief go on purpose?" Liu Fei opened his eyes wide and looked at his elder brother in disbelief.

The two brothers looked at each other and became even more convinced that this was a test set by Qin Yao for them.

Even if you divide this two taels of silver, it’s quite a lot!
The two of them were holding their chests, feeling pain.
On the evening of the ninth day after leaving the village, the transport team returned to Liujia Village smoothly carrying loads of wood.

The section of road that enters the village after leaving the official road was washed out by heavy rains two days ago. Deep ravines were carved out. A carriage carrying heavy objects almost overturned when driving on such a road.

After finally helping to stabilize all the vehicles, Qin Yao made up her mind that the road in the village will be repaired this year!
