Volume 9: Home Chapter 271: Bonus of the Times
“It’s starting to snow.”
Qingyan, wrapped in a warm woolen coat, sat on the back of a snow leopard with beautiful silver and black spotted fur, and raised his hand to catch a snowflake.
"Hurry up, Rosemary, or you'll be late for dinner."
Rosemary was furious: "If you think it's too slow, can't you just run by yourself? Why do you have to sit on my back?!"
"Who came up with the idea that the loser in the rock-paper-scissors game should be a mount?" Qingyan chuckled.
"That's you cheating! You were deliberately slow to leave!"
"Don't you know that cheating is also a part of strength? That's what Ayun said."
"Ayun was clearly talking about luck! Luck!"
"You're out of luck then."
"Hey, hey... If you have the energy to argue about nonsense, why not save it and use it to hurry on your way."
A leopard, which was similar in appearance to a tiger, with golden fur and black spots, trotted lightly to Rosemary's side. There was also a person sitting on his back, and he was carrying a pair of panniers that were only slightly smaller than those used by the snow wolves. He looked very capable and did not exert any effort at all.
The two cats sitting on Xia's back were munching on some fruit, and one of them threw one to Qingyan in a friendly manner.
"Don't eat on my back!" Rosemary yelled immediately.
Qingyan ignored him and chewed loudly on purpose, rubbing the juice on his hands onto Rosemary's back.
Xia shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to them, and quickened his pace to run to the front.
Not long after Xia surpassed Rosemary, Hongye, who was carrying a large pannier basket with a few gray dwarves on his back, trotted over to catch up.
"Qingyan, how is the resettlement work going at your Farm No. 3?" Hongye ran to Rosemary's side and sprayed out a large cloud of white mist from his wolf mouth.
"It's a bit tiring. When our people are around, they pretend to be very honest. Once our people leave, those from the central region will start fighting immediately." Qingyan had a headache when talking about this. "I used Xia's method to make trouble with supplies. Those who were caught fighting could not get personal daily necessities. As a result, they pretended to be friendly and ran out to fight outside... I really don't know what to say."
Rosemary immediately said rudely: "How dare you say that about others? Didn't you fight with Xia before?"
Qingyan had no expression on his face. He ate the remaining flesh, threw away the core, and rubbed his hands vigorously on the fur on Rosemary's back...
Rosemary screamed...
Hongye didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Well, it's hard to wash the fur in such cold weather, so that's enough. Speaking of which, there are so many problems with the resettlement work here, and I don't know how it's going with Chief Arthur. The tiger tribe has been arranged with them."
Qingyan had bullied Rosemary enough and stopped, saying, "That's not necessarily true. The tribes in the central region have had some friction with the Tiger Tribe. With the Tiger Tribe around, maybe they won't fight each other anymore."
Hongye thought for a moment and said, "No way? It's hard for us Snow Wolves to defeat the Tiger Tribe."
"You can't just use your fists to bully people." Qingyan chuckled.
"Admit it! You admit that you were bullying me!" Rosemary shouted.
"Stop talking nonsense. If Ayun hadn't thrown you here, do you think I would have the patience to bother with you?" Qingyan shouted, "Go back and cry while hugging Ayun's thighs. Give me the fish bone instead!"
Hongye didn't want to pay attention to them anymore, so she carried Baru, Xiaer and others to run ahead to chat with Xia...
When they were only more than 20 kilometers away from the Fire and Flame Tribe, Hongye and Xia met Chief Arthur and others who were also heading to the Fire and Flame Tribe. They joined forces and headed straight for the Fire and Flame Tribe.
"It's so cold, my feet are almost numb!"
As soon as Rosemary entered the tribe, she meowed and ran to the female workers' dormitory of the woolen mill to warm her feet. Qingyan didn't care. He dragged down the backpack and carried it on his own, and went to find Xiao Yun with Hongye and others.
"Lan Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Hong Ye put the goods and people on his back on the square. As soon as he regained his human form, he saw Lan Guo coming out of the mobile home with his head lowered. He happily opened his arms to greet him.
"Put on your clothes first!" Xiao Yun saw it from inside the house and immediately shouted.
"Hey, Hongye." Grassroots leader Qingcao came over from the other side and said with a smile, "You guys are closer, how come you arrived later than us?"
"I was ready to leave in the morning, but I waited for Xia, Qingyan and the others for a long time." Hongye said as he pulled up his pants.
Qingyan said embarrassedly: "Uh, something happened this morning. The cats from the central region started fighting again, and one of them was seriously injured."
Xiao Yun came out: "..."
Damn, Xia knows to find a room, transform into human form, and put on clothes before coming out, but Hongye is different. In the freezing cold weather, he shows his butt in public without hesitation.
"Haven't they been settled in for more than ten days? Are they still not used to it?" The grassroots chief did not understand Xiao Yun's worry at all. He pushed Xiao Yun, who was blocking the door, into the house and pulled Hongye in.
"Not so fast." Chief Arthur and Xia followed behind, "I'm already planning to separate the small cats to live separately, so they won't be dragged into fights between the big cats."
"Chief Arthur, are you guys fighting over there too?" Hongye sat down and drank water from Xiao Yun's cup, curiously.
"Fight, of course we fight. Not only the people from the central part, but also the original people from the farm." Chief Arthur said with a troubled look, "And they fight secretly. If you don't look carefully, you won't find them... There are a few people from the Sunny Sky Tribe who have been hiding from me. By the time I found them, their faces were almost swollen."
Qingcao looked straight at Xia & Qingyan and said bluntly: "You cats are really troublesome."
Xia Qingyan: "..." If you have the guts, say that to Chief Arthur!
Qingcao said, everyone knows that the most troublesome cats are gathered with Chief Arthur, so she would never mock anyone else but Chief Arthur~!
"Ayun, what do you say?" said the grassroots patriarch.
Xiao Yun took his eyes away from the teacup in Hongye's hand and said calmly, "It's just that I ate too much and had too much free time. It's illegal to be bored."
Everyone present: "..."
Well, this is indeed Ayun’s standard conclusion.
Qingyan immediately spread his hands and said, "In the past, you forced everyone to study in the winter and exhausted everyone's energy, but to be honest, this method may not be applicable now. There are at least 5,000 people in each resettlement site. How many people are needed to organize so many people to study? The farm is not free of work in winter. It is impossible to delay the main business just to exhaust their energy."
Everyone nodded when they heard this. The prerequisite for influencing newcomers subtly through the method of old employees bringing up new employees is that there must be enough old employees and an atmosphere must be created in which the newcomers are unconsciously influenced.
No matter whether it was the Xia tribe or the Arthur tribe that merged in, it was the Snow Werewolves who set the example and started the trend for them, otherwise how could they have accepted the new environment so quickly?
Lan Guo has been busy rebuilding the sugar beet planting base since the flood, and he hasn't rested even in winter. Seeing that everyone is having a headache, this kind guy said, "Why don't we divide the four resettlement sites into smaller ones, and I can help lead a group of people there?"
Seeing what Lan Guo said, Hongye hesitated: "Well, it's not that I don't want to help share the burden, I'm afraid they will go to the Hilly New District and bully the Gray Dwarves."
You know, under the influence of the Tiger Tribe, the Central Region has always treated the gray dwarves as slaves, not to mention the goblins!
Baru, Charles and other gray dwarves sitting next to Hongye nodded quickly, especially old Baker, who couldn't tell how great the psychological trauma that Xia had brought to him was.
Qingcao thought about it and reluctantly said, "The elders of the Snake Tribe are fighting among themselves, so I don't think they can help much."
The problems of the Snake Tribe are open to the top leaders of the Fire and Flame Tribe. The fighting among the elders except the Great Elder Gregor and the Python Elder Gustav is also welcomed by the Fire and Flame Tribe - it may sound a bit unfair, but if these elders don't fight among themselves, won't they unite and use the entire tribe to bargain with the Fire and Flame Tribe?
Especially this year when the Fire Tribe suffered severe damage while the Snake Tribe was not affected at all, if these elders had the vision to unite and face the outside world together, it would be impossible for them not to make a fuss about the price of sweet potatoes and potatoes... So it is better to indulge (encourage) them to fight each other, which will save trouble for everyone.
It is also appropriate to use the snake tribe as a negative example to warn the gray dwarves and cat tribes.
Lan Guo felt a little depressed, obviously knowing that he had made a bad suggestion... Neither the Hilly New District nor the Snake Tribe could help, so why was he in such a hurry to show off?
Xiao Yun knew that Lan Guo had been hit hard this year and was . He did not want to see Lan Guo's self-confidence suffer, so he smiled and helped him to save face: "Lan Guo's suggestion is correct in general and is a feasible method, but... I think everyone's attitude towards the cats from the central region has not kept up with the changes in the situation."
"Eh?" Chief Arthur was surprised. "What do you mean?"
"Over the years, we have been short of manpower, so we must be thrifty with the labor force and let everyone try their best to contribute to the tribe and the grassland construction." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "The result of our doing so is obvious. Not only can we allow everyone to live a relatively affluent life, but we can also have a stronger ability to withstand pressure in the face of natural disasters, so that we will not be seriously injured by a flood. After the flood, we can stand up again quickly."
"But... we have mentioned in the social studies course that each stage of society has its own rules. Our grassland is a multi-ethnic society. After the initial start-up stage, our grassland has entered the next stage. In other words, we need to update our rule system and our development policy needs to keep pace with the times."
Without Dahe, Hongye had a little trouble understanding Xiao Yun's meaning. After thinking for a while, she said cautiously, "You mean... the tribes from the central region don't need to organize learning like before?"
"Of course, it is still necessary to organize learning, but we don't have to force everyone to keep up with the rest of the group and make progress together like before." Xiao Yun said with a smile... and said something extremely cruel, "When the society we have worked so hard to build enters a stage where the labor force is relatively abundant and we have the confidence to be more relaxed in terms of manpower, we can allow some people to fall behind temporarily."
Now even the Grassroots Chief, Chief Arthur, Qingyan, and Xia understood what he said, and looked at Xiao Yun in horror...
Qingcao who didn't understand: "???"
In the new China on earth, there is a word called "dividend of the times".
The mediocre people lament the turbulent times that make it impossible to live off their old capital, but they fail to see the countless opportunities brought about by the changing times; the pigs who are lucky enough to stand on the wind are soaring to the sky with the east wind of reform and opening up, but few people know how to be grateful for the dividends of the times, but instead recklessly think that they are the sons of luck and the chosen ones. After the outbreak, they make all kinds of ugly faces, step on the red line of the law to play with children, try to give birth to dozens of sons to inherit their "excellent genes" and so on... anyway, they are capable of any disgusting behavior.
On the grassland, the appearance of the intruder Xiao Yun also brought about the "dividend of the times". During the development of the Fire Tribe, those managers who were promoted to high positions after being painstakingly educated and trained step by step by Xiao Yun were all lucky ones who benefited from the dividend of the times... For example, Hongye, who was originally only the chief of a small tribe, now leads thousands of people to work.
Eight years have passed since Yu brought the people from the grassroots tribe to work here. It is almost time for this wave of dividends brought by the rapid development of the Fire Tribe to come to an end... With the population base and economic scale of the grassland, it is impossible to bring everyone to reap the dividends for decades.
"For the 23,600 people from the central region, we don't need all of them to keep up with our development pace, nor do we need to manage all of them well. What we need is to select the best from the best and let some of them keep up with our pace. For the rest, we can allow them to lag behind temporarily." Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and said kindly, "So, we don't have to adopt the policy of doing our best and even delaying work to educate them. Appropriately organize basic knowledge literacy and popularize basic education. If there are those who understand the importance of learning and can keenly know the importance of learning, they can be promoted to the Fire Department for further study. For those who follow the crowd or are not very interested in learning, just complete the literacy training, and there is no need to force them."
"In this way, we can assign one literacy teacher to every fifty people in the three farms and the settlement of the Fire Tribe. The classes will only last three hours a day, and they will only learn arithmetic and literacy. With such a small manpower expenditure, it won't delay everyone from doing their work."
Everyone present: "..."
"Uh...what about the exams?" Chief Arthur swallowed.
"A monthly exam is enough. Printing bark test papers is simple but it requires a lot of manpower. There is no need to hold an exam every five days." Xiao Yun said immediately.
Everyone: “…”
"If this is the case... isn't it a bit bad..." Hongye couldn't adjust her mindset so quickly, and muttered softly, "In fact, as long as there is enough ink, printing is not difficult."
Xiao Yun laughed: "They only need to learn the simplest arithmetic and literacy. We still have to attend our own classes. We can't miss the three-day small test and the five-day big test. Hongye, you won't be free over there, don't worry too much."
Everyone: “…”
"Everyone, don't worry about it, and don't feel bad about missing out on talent. Gold will always shine, right? If there are talented people, they will definitely stand out and we will definitely be able to use them." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "As for the others, we are not giving up. After all, we still need to continue to expand agricultural production. Farming with us will definitely make life better than nomadic life."
After a pause, Xiao Yun smiled again and said, "We gave the Qingtian, Amber and other tribes enough independence and autonomy, allowing them to continue to work together as a tribe and run their own farms. Everyone has seen the results. Tribal autonomy cannot inspire people's ambition. If there is no leader like Chief Yongzhen or Chief Xiu, tribal autonomy will only make the entire tribe accustomed to muddling through life."
"So, this time, in addition to organizing literacy campaigns, we have another task to do. We have to break up these tribes as much as possible, and reconstruct small groups based on production teams, blood relatives, or like-minded people. We will organize production in the form of small groups, and strive to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor among these small teams with different connections within the next year, and let some small groups become rich first!"
"In this way, we won't have to worry about others not consciously and actively moving closer to the development policy of our Fire Department!"
grass:"……"
She thought that Ah Yun would continue to indulge the cat tribe just as he indulged the infighting among the elders of the snake tribe. Now it seems that she was too naive...
Chief Arthur looked annoyed. She really couldn't stand the internal clique mentality of the Sunny Sky and Amber tribes, but when Ayun came up with such a bad idea, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic...
You say that we allow some people to fall behind, but Ayun, you are really not that tolerant towards those who choose to fall behind!
