Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 484 Delegating power to the elderly

"My boss is here!"

"My boss has worked hard!"

"Why did the boss come to the field, if there is anything, just let steward Zhang inform us."

Three elders came running from different directions, looking at Ding Shitou with smiles on their faces.

"The three elders have worked hard. I just arrived at the farm to see the scenery of the field and say hello to everyone." Ding Shitou clasped his fists with a smile and explained.

His attitude towards the peasants was much better than towards Guanshi Zhang, who almost wanted to wipe his sweat off again.

Seeing Ding Shitou's humility and politeness, the three elders felt more at ease, so they took the initiative to introduce her to the work in the field.

Following their directions, Ding Shitou looked over one by one, and saw that the number of people in each village had doubled, but everyone was not crowded together, let alone crowded out.

Each of them carried out second tillage on the loose soil that had been plowed before.

Originally, oxen could also be used for second plowing, but there are too few oxen and too much arable land. It will take a long time to wait until all the plowing is done before turning back.

But if the labor force is sufficient, they are directly used to complete the second plowing, and the third plowing is directly fertilized and sown.

Seeing that everyone was working in an orderly manner, Ding Shitou took a look and did not interfere with their work.

Seeing that the boss had no objection to the increase in manpower, the three elders felt more at ease and their smiles grew wider, so they reported the matter of sending people around to buy seeds.

"Okay, as long as it's a good seed, feel free to buy it and settle the bill with Manager Zhang. You won't be in arrears, and everyone who works will be credited."

"In the future, the elders will be responsible for recording work, managing people, and trivial matters in farming. If you have any questions, tell Guanshi Zhang that I have a lot of people in the village, so I won't be here all the time, but I will send people to visit the village in the future. You can tell them."

Ding Shishitou said this, and he also decided to delegate power to the elders, and let each village manage the labor of each village, which saved Zhang Guanshi a lot of work.

She has already learned that in the past, Steward Zhang was in charge of all the people, and he would temporarily arrange for a long-term foreman to be in charge, and when the foreman was busy, he would tell his subordinate long-term workers to watch over.

But when each village has staff, the village will also have someone to take care of it. On the one hand, they are afraid that some bastards will ruin their reputation, and on the other hand, they are also afraid that the farm will bully the people in their own village.

Over time, it becomes a habit.But this creates duplication of resources, and even delays efficiency because more people are involved.

Directly hand over these trivial matters to the elders, without reporting anything, and then ask the supervisor if there is something to do, which saves many repetitive and slow links in the process.

When the three elders heard that the new owner trusted them so much, they immediately bowed to accept the order with gratitude.

Ding Shitou sent Steward Zhang back to work on him. After all, she had other things to do. She asked the three elders to take her around and took the opportunity to inquire about the living conditions in the villages.

It is far away from the city, and life is not as good as that in Nancheng Village, and the village school is even more lacking. It is not bad to be able to read books for two or three years. Naturally, these cattle-driving boys did not go to school.

And there are not a few people from poor families who never went to school and only found someone to read some characters.

Ding Shitou felt heavy when he heard this.

Not long ago, she was still planning to wait for the Jiujiu School in Nancheng Village to stabilize, then continue to develop rural schools in another place, and attract more rural children to school with low-cost training.

Many village schools and even larger private schools only have one or two teachers, and most of them are family-style. They don't hire many teachers from outside to teach, and the number of teachers is limited, so the students don't receive much.

Therefore, the students do not study much, and the teachers are mostly just making ends meet.
