At this time, a one-armed middle-aged man came from a distance, followed by a dozen farm guards, all of whom carried two large buckets of water on their shoulders.
Before he reached the field, the voice of One Arm came from afar:
"Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou, after you have grown the corn seedlings, just hand them over to the workers. You don't have to work in the fields yourself. Let's take a break and come over to drink water."
Everyone looked up and followed the sound, and saw that it was their one-armed farmer who brought water, and the workers put down their work one after another, and greeted the farm boss with a smile:
"Thank you, Boss, for delivering water to us personally, making us feel ashamed to be lazy at work, hahaha..."
The one-armed smile is even more hearty:
"Hahahaha, it's okay to be lazy, I'm really worried that you are exhausted. Brother Er Zhou, you should be lazy and come over to drink tea and rest!"
Don’t think that only strict or even inhumane management can make workers do well and improve work efficiency. In fact, it is not the case. Humanized management can often stimulate workers’ potential and fighting spirit.
The farm owner is a seventh-rank official and the county magistrate, but Li Xin has no official airs at all, and he is completely in harmony with the workers. The workers work as if they are doing things for their own families. No one has ever been lazy.
Zhou DaTue has gradually changed from an inconspicuous worker to Li Xin, the right-hand man of the farm owner.
That is to say, the real second and third in command of the farm, the actual official rank is above the ninth rank, but they never regard themselves as officials.
"Come and drink water, the water will be cold when you enter."
After the joke was over, Li Xin immediately asked everyone to drink water.
What they brought was not cold water, but brewed tea. The tea was grown by the farm itself. Although it was not the best quality, ordinary people still couldn't afford it.
"Brother Erzhou, please go first."
The crowd didn't rush forward, but politely asked the two teenagers to invite first. Brother Erzhou smiled and hugged everyone, and then walked to the wooden barrel.
The younger brother first made a bowl of tea for his elder brother, and then made another bowl of tea himself.
The temperature of the water was just right, neither hot nor cold. The two brothers drank the tea in the bowl in one go, and their appearance and actions were no different from ordinary people.
"Gudong Gudong..."
After drinking the tea, Zhou Da wiped off the tea from his mouth and said with a smile to Li Xin:
"Master Li, now everyone knows how to transplant corn seedlings, we brothers will go back first, what do you think?"
Li Xin smiled slightly, reached out and patted Zhou Da's shoulder:
"Go, this is not a place for you to work, you can think about it if you want to, and you don't need to ask me for instructions."
"Okay, thank you sir."
After thanking Li Xin, the two brothers trotted away from the farmland hand in hand.
Looking at the backs of the two brothers going away, Li Xin gradually restrained his smile and sighed softly:
"It's a pity, it's a waste of talent..."
Back at the farm dormitory, the two brothers took out their flintlock guns, stepped on their horses and left the farm, and went straight to the distant forest, where they practiced their guns on horseback.
When they first came to the farm, they didn't understand anything, they didn't know how to do anything, and soon there were bleeding blisters on their feet, and their immature hands were covered with calluses, but they gritted their teeth and persisted.
Through unremitting efforts and their good understanding, they gradually mastered the cultivation and planting of various crops.
Because the farm lacked knowledgeable managers, they were single-handedly promoted by Li Xin as farm technicians, who were mainly responsible for guiding and assisting workers in scientific farming.
After Li Yan and Hong Niangzi visited the farm and met them, Li Yan was completely shocked by the knowledge of these two. TV premiere.tv. @@@m.tv.
Li Yan was originally a Juren, but the knowledge of these two little fellows was even higher than Li Yan's. Li Yan did not hesitate to promote them to the deputy director of the farm, which is equivalent to a ninth-rank official position.
Hong Niangzi also loves the two of them very much, so she directly accepts them as apprentices, and specially equips Er Zhou brothers with guns and war horses. At this time, their status on the farm is actually higher than that of Li Xin.
But the two were very humble and low-key, and they still did things the same as before. Not only were they very kind to the workers, but they also respected Li Xin as before.
They practice marksmanship and riding every morning and evening, and teach the workers how to read and write when they have time. They have become indispensable all-rounders on the farm.
The two horses galloped away, and the two of them rode steadily on the horses, making one or two difficult moves from time to time. At this time, a group of birds flew over their heads, and Zhou Tui rolled his eyes and shouted:
"Brother, give it a try."
"boom……"
A gunshot came, and suddenly a bird fell from mid-air.
On Tuesday, I urged the horse to pick up the flying bird. I was just about to show off to my brother, when suddenly there was another gunshot:
"Brother, look..."
"boom……"
As the gunshots sounded, another bird fell in front of Tuesday's horse, and Tuesday immediately raised his hand to admit defeat:
"Brother, your marksmanship is better."
Zhou Da didn't think so, and was still encouraging his younger brother.
"Where, our marksmanship is almost the same, we just shoot down a bird."
"Brother, don't comfort me, the bird has become a frightened bird in the sound of my gunfire, and it must be more difficult for you to hit."
Chapter 441 Distress
The younger brother doesn't care that his elder brother's marksmanship is better than his. In his heart, his elder brother is better than himself, as long as he does his best.
Zhou Da smiled happily:
"Second brother, you are getting more and more sensible. My father will be very pleased if he knows."
"Brother, to be honest, I want to go home, but this little achievement is still shameless to see his old man."
When talking about his father, the younger brother was obviously a little disappointed, but the older brother smiled boldly:
"Second brother, don't worry, depending on the situation, when we make meritorious deeds, there are not only small countries around that want to shake the big trees, but the imperial court obviously has plans to go to the West again. When we have the opportunity, we will quietly join the army to serve the country, and then return triumphantly after making military exploits." Wouldn't it be better."
What the elder brother said immediately made the younger brother smile:
"Okay, no wonder my brother is staring at the Da Ming Daily every day, so he is always concerned about national affairs, going to practice martial arts, driving..."
In a good mood, the younger brother urged the horse into the woods ahead, and the older brother immediately urged the horse to keep up.
After entering the woods, the two jumped off their horses and started sparring. Seeing that their skills had the potential to become second-rate masters, as they got better, the sky gradually darkened.
"Hiss..."
