Wolf King

The cat family farm has been built for two months, and has completed six areas of dormitories, one area of ​​public facilities such as warehouses, canteens, and bathrooms.

The so-called fruits of labor that have not been paid will not be cherished. Except for the public facilities engineering team, the houses in the collective dormitory only have the foundation and walls laid, and the rest are covered with tiles, tiles, kangs, walls, and indoor cement floors. Leaving the doors and windows to the cat clan themselves; when Xia and Qingyan took office, the finishing work of the four occupied areas had just been completed, and when they were welcomed into the house where the Qingtian patriarch lived, the big cats were quite cautious even opening the door...

Even the silicon steel sheet can be processed in Qiuling New District, so there is no problem in making door shaft lotus leaves. After the tribe replaced the door shaft lotus leaves, the surplus part was sent to the snake department, and the cat clan farm can't divide it. .

The lotus leaf on the door shaft was given by the Snowwolves. The door frame and door panels were slowly ground by the cats themselves borrowing the carpentry tools from the engineering team. …

The kang bed, which is made into a big bunk, but each bed is partitioned by cement bricks, is covered with mats made of cattail mats for one person; Wool blankets were neatly folded into small cubes and placed next to the pillows.

Sitting cross-legged on the kang and sitting on the round cushion made of two layers of animal skins, both Qingyan and Xia felt a kind of cosiness... The cat clan farm is not different from the Huoyan department as a whole, but the details are indeed more in line with the cat clan's preferences .Especially the bed partition erected with cement bricks, the two of them felt very comfortable after seeing it - cats instinctively attach great importance to their personal space, and sleeping surrounded by partitions feels full of peace of mind!

The surface of the partition is also coated with a layer of cement, and some pebbles picked up by the river are embedded in the surface, and a layer of animal skin cut into long strips is laid on it. It is very comfortable to rest your elbows on it when you are half lying down and chatting~!

But other than that, Qingyan and Xia couldn't be satisfied with other places: in broad daylight, there were actually a dozen or so big cats idle in the Qingtian Tribe dormitory area. When I came in, I saw several people sleeping on the roof tiles. Not afraid of crushing the tiles.

"Clan Chief Arthur told you about you. I heard that you are here to organize our work?" Patriarch Qingtian sat cross-legged in front of the two clansmen, with his hands on the kang table (made by the cat clan), and a cup filled with hot water in his right hand. A cup of brewed juice, smiling.

The fire department’s own fruit trees harvested a lot of fruit last summer and autumn, all of which were canned, most of which were sold to the forest elves and St. Bridge, and a small part was kept at home for consumption; in recent years, the tribe has sufficient food and a wide variety of snacks , Snowwolf people are no longer greedy for canned fruit (except for a few that are particularly delicious), and there are still a lot of them from last year to this year, and the Snake Department and the Cat Clan Farm also have a share.

Qingyan did not speak, Xia smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, I am Xia, and this is Qingyan. The land reclamation work on the farm has come to an end, and Qingyan and I will assist Patriarch Arthur in the farm. Expand."

Patriarch Qing Tian nodded, showing a puzzled expression: "It is necessary to work, but how do I remember that at the beginning, Patriarch Arthur invited us just to farm? We have already opened up wasteland and planted things, what else should we do?" Shall we do it?"

"That's right, Patriarch Qing Tian, ​​farming doesn't just need to open the land and then sow the seeds. Otherwise, there are so many big plains on the grassland, how can only the Tauren live by farming?" Xia Xiao said with a smile, " The black bean seeds given to us by the tauren are just scattered in the ground and left alone. If a piece of land can harvest dozens of catties of black beans, it’s not bad. To increase the yield, the work after sowing is the most important work.”

Qingyan echoed with a serious face: "Water conservancy irrigation, manure accumulation, weed control, field management, if any work is not kept up, the harvest in autumn will be affected. Xia and I came here for this, I hope Patriarch Qing Tian and the other three patriarchs can work together, so don't miss out."

The two of them quarreled all the way along the way, and the result of the quarrel was that Xia sang red faces, and Qing Yan sang bad faces...

Qingyan's tone made the Patriarch Qingtian a little unhappy, but he didn't want to be blind, and he pretended to be helpless as soon as he rolled his eyes: "This matter... I can't make the decision. My clansmen can't do it after they come to the farm. It is said that I have not been free all day, and everyone is exhausted. If I tell them that there is more work to be done, many people will be dissatisfied——Well, I will discuss it with the soldiers later. How about an answer for you?"

Xia and Qingyan didn't say anything, they chatted with the patriarch Qingtian about life in the farm before leaving, and went to visit the other three patriarchs one after another.

The patriarchs of the Xiu tribe and the Amber tribe are both in the farm, and they found them at the door; there are also some idle big cats in their respective dormitory areas, but the number of them is not as large as that of the Qingtian tribe.

The painting style of the Kong Tribe is very different. Xia and Qingyan went to the door and found that there was no one in their dormitory area, and then ran to the Kong Tribe's farm, only to find the Kong patriarch in the big cat team that applied the base fertilizer.

After listening to Xia and Qingyan singing together, the leopard, which had no excuse to hide, wiped off the sweat with a towel on its shoulders, nodded and said, "Our tribe doesn't know how to farm, so it's all up to you to arrange."

Qing Yan, who was so talkative and had a bad face, didn't have much chance to speak. Xia smiled and went forward to talk to Chief Kong, then left and went back to the farm to see Chief Arthur.

The farm also needs to be self-sufficient in manure. Chief Arthur is leading the people of the Qingtian tribe to dig a big pit for collecting manure.The working atmosphere at the site was very bad. Qingyan and Xia traveled all the way and found at least five or six fellow clansmen who had slipped away and hid in the bushes to sleep. They frowned.

Chief Arthur asked Da Mao, who was left behind by the engineering team to help organize the work on the farm, to watch over, and walked away to talk to the two of them.

"The Kong tribe is the last to come, and they are far away." Chief Arthur said with a worried look on his face, "Currently the sowing work of the Sunny Tribe has been completed, and the Amber Tribe of the Xiu tribe is still a little behind, but their patriarch is also influenced by the Patriarch Qingtian. , and began to be passive and sabotage... The progress of land reclamation in the four tribes is different, and they pick each other on how much others have done and how much they have done. Now I am not too persuasive to persuade the Qingtian patriarch, even the compost that I explained very clearly Work is also moving slowly."

Xia's expression moved slightly, and she turned her head subconsciously, just in time for Qingyan to look over.

The eyes of the two met, and one was more expressionless than the other.

Chief Arthur: "??"

"Well... the three patriarchs are older, I don't think we need to force the patriarchs to participate in the work." Xia said slowly.

"But it will bring bad morals." Patriarch Arthur frowned. "Someone is upright and gets something for nothing, and those who work must be unbalanced. They don't worry about being few but uneven. The bad leaders led by the three patriarchs are already How can you continue to indulge if you make people's hearts flutter?"

Xia smiled and lowered his voice: "Patriarch Arthur, do we trust the people who lead us to work more, or do we prefer to trust those who can only point fingers and hide in the house to enjoy leisure when others are sweating?" people?"

"Huh?" Patriarch Arthur didn't turn the corner for a while.

Qingyan also said: "Patriarch Arthur, the one who is willing to take everyone to work together already has the patriarch, and he is enough." After a pause, Qingyan hinted, "We really didn't compete with their patriarch for power and profit. Meaning, but there is no need for us to help their patriarch maintain authority."

Chief Arthur: "..."

It's not that she can't understand, it's just a little awkward... The decline of the patriarch's authority in the cat tribe is often a signal of tribe division. She still felt a little sorry for this step.

After hesitating for a while, Chief Arthur sighed and nodded: "For work... just do it like this. You feel free to take action, and I will take care of anything."

Qingyan and Xia Qiqi smiled and said to Clan Chief Arthur: "We can rest assured when you say that, and the most troublesome thing of stabilizing Clan Leader Qingtian will be left to you."

After finishing speaking in one voice, both of them were taken aback for a moment, and looked at each other expressionlessly again.

Chief Arthur's mouth twitched slightly: "...Do you two have a good relationship, or a bad relationship?"

Qingyan & Xia: "Hehe."

They looked at each other blankly again.

Chief Arthur: "..." Do as you like.

In the evening, after dinner, Chief Arthur organized the four production teams of the four tribes to gather in the square in front of the cafeteria for a meeting.

Each of the four cat tribes that are relatively close to the Huoyan tribe has more than 100 people, plus 500 people in one group. In addition to the adult clan members, there are also some big cat cubs who are over 20 years old and adult. The following—the number of fighters is relatively small, and there are only a dozen or so when they are all counted together.

The shortest of this group of big cats also ate together in the same cafeteria for less than half a month, but when they gathered for meetings, they were clearly separated and did not touch each other. So unabashedly exclusive.

The second project team left six big cats to assist Chief Arthur. Qingyan and Xia sat with them, and Chief Arthur stood up to speak first.

At any rate, Patriarch Arthur has been working for such a long time, and the big cats are quite convinced of her. She repeated the importance of composting, water conservancy and other work to the big cats, and Xia stood up and explained to the big cats. The next work arrangement in the farm:

Now that it’s summer and the weather is starting to dry up, other work can be released a little bit, and water conservancy work must be paid close attention to; people from each family are responsible for draining waterlogged and drought-resistant water canals on each farm, starting with the Sunny Tribe who first completed land reclamation and sowing...

There was a faint commotion in the Qingtian tribe, and the patriarch of Qingtian had the worst expression on his face. He had already said that he would wait for himself to discuss it with the soldiers. He didn't expect these fellow tribesmen from the Huoyan tribe to be so impatient.

After Xia finished the job arrangement, Qingyan stood up and selected people from the Qingtian Tribe, no matter what the face of others was, if they saw a strong person, they would ask for their names on the spot and register them in the booklet.

"Don't think that you will be disadvantaged if you do too much work. Good water conservancy facilities can greatly increase the output of the farmland. How much output can be shared by the tribe during the autumn harvest? Most of the credit goes to the people who build the water conservancy." Qingyan said with a straight face. After explaining something, he squinted his eyes and looked at the people in the Qingtian Tribe, "I will come to pick up people tomorrow morning. Those who have registered will follow me. The others will continue to work with Chief Arthur."

Before Qing Tian's patriarch got up to speak, Xia looked at the Xiu tribe and the Huber tribe with a smile, and asked when they could complete the land reclamation and sowing...

Patriarch Arthur saw that Patriarch Qingtian's face was not right, so he got up, walked to him and sat down, and distracted him with some gossip with a smile, and also made his position clear by the way: Opposing Qingyan and Xia just doesn't give me face, you can figure it out .

He pinned down the leader of the Qingtian tribe, and in the early morning of the next day, Qingyan, accompanied by leader Arthur and two big cats from the engineering team, came down to the dormitory area of ​​the Qingtian tribe to catch the strong men... Except for the leader Qingtian himself, all the soldiers and adults A total of more than [-] people from Big Mao brought them all out for him; distributed digging hoes, cross picks, shovels, baskets and other tools, and dragged them to the east side of the tidal flat by the river, the site selected the day before, and started digging the canal.

When the Ministry of Huoyan first built the canals, the total number of people in Luodingkou was less than a hundred. At that time, the canals that could irrigate tens of thousands of acres of land were built, but there were not enough tools; The tool is digging the soft soil layer next to the tidal flat, so it is naturally easier to dig.

Hmm... This ease is only compared to Qingyan and the two engineering team Big Cats. They have done more difficult work, digging a canal is nothing; but for the people of the Qingtian tribe, it is the nightmare of land reclamation. ...

Qingyan has rich experience in managing mischievous snow wolf cubs to work, and has a clear understanding of the resistance of big cats.He divided the workload to be completed that day into several sections. The big cats were in groups of five, and each group was responsible for a section. After digging, check the depth and width. Whichever group finished digging first put it back for dinner—dig in advance rest?It doesn't exist, if you don't move quickly, you will not only have to eat cold food, but you may even miss the daily repertoire and the storytelling by the canteen chef (Snow Werewolf).

Arthur patriarch Ma Liu followed suit...

Forcibly pressing down on the big cats' cat heads and digging the ditches for three days, seeing that the big cats' anger points were almost accumulated, Qingyan made a quick move and handed over the incentive materials ( Canned fruit, fish floss, maltose, soap, towels, toothbrushes, cups, cotton clothes, etc.) took over; the management share belonging to the Qingtian patriarch is still directly given to the Qingtian patriarch, and the rest of the distribution mechanism is re-delineated, composting & canal repair work can be done well Only those who drive others will be given the share of the management, otherwise even if you are a cat warrior, you can only get the share of ordinary people...

Xiao Yun mentioned more than once in his lectures that "power hates a vacuum". If public power cannot reach a place, private power will definitely take action; after all, Chief Arthur has never been to St. Bridge, and he doesn't know enough about this aspect. Qing Yan, as a person who experienced it You can't ignore this point - the low-level managers of human cities only need to hold a little bit of power to commit amazing dereliction of duty and corruption. The patriarch of Qingtian holds the power of distribution within the clan, and he has no selfishness at all?

The effect is obvious, just such a small change as redistribution of incentive materials, the big cats of the sunny tribe who were originally dissatisfied once again settled down...

Patriarch Qingtian was extremely dissatisfied with this, but it was useless for him to be angry, at least the tribe would not support him in this matter——Qingyan did not hold the distribution right in the hands of an "outsider" like himself, and distributed according to his own preferences. It is to formulate a system of more work and more pay for those who are capable. The incentive materials every three days are distributed according to the outstanding little red flowers on the attendance sheet; The distribution mode of the soup, it would be strange if cats who have absolutely no problem in IQ don't know how to choose.

Here Qingyan ruthlessly undercuts the authority of Qingtian patriarch, and Xia is not idle there... Ya runs back and forth between the farms of the other three tribes all day long, organizing and mobilizing the work while broadcasting Qingyan's actions to the other three tribes; The two chiefs of the tribe take a leisurely walk every day, and everyone else in the tribe is as tired as dogs. The eyes of the people in the tribe suddenly glowered... The so-called don't worry about the few, but the unevenness. On sunny days, the tribe distributes according to work, but their side distributes according to needs. It's no wonder that people who sweat are not jealous!

Xia smiled to appease the two tribes, and went to the Kong clan leader with the most unique painting style. After discussing for a long time, the Kong clan leader took the initiative to come forward, and proposed at the evening meeting that the distribution of incentive materials for the Kong tribe would learn Qingyan's management In front of the five hundred big cats, he suggested that Patriarch Xiu and Patriarch Huber follow suit and treat the tribe fairly and justly.

Patriarch Xiu and Patriarch Hu Po looked confused...

The people of the two tribes, who were full of anger points during the day, responded in unison without waiting for the head of the clan to speak, and they chattered together.

Patriarch Xiu & Patriarch Hu Po were even more confused... No, what happened these days?Why are people in my family so willing to listen to outsiders? !

The big cats of the Huoyan Department sat quietly on the side, smiling and eating melons.

"You can really convince Chief Kong to come up with this idea." Chief Arthur secretly gave Xia Bi a thumbs up.

Xia smiled slightly: "It's not all due to me. Patriarch Kong knows very well that it is better for him to propose it himself than to force us to do so. After all, we paid them in advance for supplies." After a pause, Xia glanced at Qingyan, "Not yet. What is it, incentive materials are trivial matters after all. When the autumn harvest is divided into their families, the dispute will become even bigger when those materials are brought back."

Chief Arthur and the six big cats of the engineering team nodded together, right? The four tribes "contracted" more than 4 mu of land in total, and [-]% of the output went to them. The converted vermicelli is not a small number; so much If the income from the family is brought back, the patriarch wants to distribute it according to his own preferences. It is no wonder that other people who have sweated in the farm for more than half a year can agree.

Qingyan turned his head to the side and stared at Xia in displeasure: "What's the matter with you, did you do it all by yourself? Who are you taking pride in?"

"Am I proud? Your eyesight is too bad." Xia sneered.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Chief Arthur said, "The Xiu tribe and the Amber tribe will soon finish planting in the past two days, and we must hurry up to organize water conservancy work. We are short of manpower, and each company does its own work in water conservancy. Let me take them together, let's assign which one to take which."

"Let me bring the Xiu tribe. I have brought them since the land reclamation. I am familiar with them." One of the big cats said.

"Qingyan, the Qingtian Tribe is on the right track, let me help Ah Leng." said the big cat at the other end.

"Okay." Qing Yan nodded.

"In that case, I'll take the Amber Tribe." Xia Dao, "Who is with me?"

"I'm here. I brought the Amber Tribe to open up wasteland." A big cat raised his hand.

"You should ask who you are with and how long have they been with you, and you want to grab the limelight when you come?" Qingyan sneered.

"Don't you know how to talk to others well?" Xia was a little annoyed.

"..." Patriarch Arthur was too lazy to persuade, got up and walked away from the two of them, and sat with other big cats.

When the Snow Werewolf who delivered food and building materials to the cat family farm every six or seven days came back, he was surprised to find that there were no big cats loitering in broad daylight.

The ingredients were delivered to the cafeteria, and handed over to the cafeteria staff who came to cook, and the person who ran the transport was very curious: "Didn't there be cats wandering around the farm before, why can't I see them now? After they finished the land reclamation, they are even worse than before." Busier?"

The chef of the snow wolf clan cafeteria did not eat less melons, and said with a smile: "The patriarchs of the cat clan have also joined the work. I heard from Xia and the others that they would not be able to be patriarchs if they stayed in the farm to play."

"Well, if you are lazy on the cat clan, you can't be the patriarch." The snow werewolf who was transporting said suddenly, "But you shouldn't be lazy. Isn't it strange that you are idle when everyone else is working?"

The living supplies needed by the Snake Department, the Cat Clan Farm and the Qiuling New Area are delivered from the Huoyan Department, so Xiao Yun also took the opportunity to get the people used to running errands and transportation... In case there is a war on the grassland in the future, logistics transportation will also be used.

The person responsible for the transportation work was selected from the 26 production teams of the Huoyan Department for rotation. The person who came back brought the news back. Xiao Yun laughed when he heard it, and stopped caring about the farm's affairs——Qingyan and Xia are still reliable. There is also the leader of the town, Arthur, who simply takes full responsibility for the affairs of the cat clan.

This summer was a bit dry, and the canals repaired by the cat family farm in time ensured the irrigation of the farmland, and the big cats who watched the river water decrease and exposed a large area of ​​the river bed were relieved; but they did not relax for a long time, Ah Clan Chief Se, Qingyan and Xia organized a vigorous tidal flat reconstruction work...

The tributary of the river of the earth flows into the area of ​​the farm, and the shallower river bed cannot gather the river water. When it is relatively dry, the water level drops and the river bed is exposed. When the rain floods, the river water has to submerge the river bank and overflow the tidal flats, posing a threat to the farm. ; In order to prevent drought and flood prevention, the three decided to rebuild the tidal flats with an area of ​​several kilometers... let's go to the reservoir and the artificial river for drainage!

The situation of the Cat Clan Farm is special. It doesn’t work and study at the same time as the Snake Department, but it’s impossible for the big cats to dawdle easily~!

From summer to autumn, when the vegetation on the grassland was dyed yellow by the autumn colors, the cat clan farm was thoroughly soaked in the sweat of the big cats, and welcomed the cat clan tribes who came to visit from all over the southwest corner of the grassland.

In the spring, there were more than [-] cat tribes who went to the Ministry of Huoyan to exchange spices and vermicelli. Although only four of them agreed to cooperate, the other tribes were not indifferent; Big cats will not let go easily before successful examples.

Patriarch Yongzhen is one of the representative figures. He arrived at the Ministry of Flame with the Amber Tribe, and he almost nodded when the Patriarch Huber responded. He stopped quickly after reacting... His tribe is very small, only more than 200 people If you really send the number of people required by the Ministry of Fire, it will be difficult for others to maintain the operation of the tribe.

At that time, the members of the Huoyan Department didn't say anything, and even smiled and invited the patriarch Yongzhen to come to see the operation of the cat farm in autumn. Regarding this matter, Patriarch Yongzhen began to worry about gain and loss again... The farmland of the Huoyan tribe is countless times more magnificent than the farmland of the Tauren Hor tribe. It can be seen that they are extremely good at farming. If they agreed at that time, would their own tribe be able to do the same? Get lots and lots of money?

Well... the cat family is such a complicated creature.

The really itchy patriarch Yongzhen deliberated and picked a few soldiers to accompany him all the way to the Fire Department; when he arrived, he found that other tribes had also come, quite a few, and the scene was a bit embarrassing...

Qiu, who was in charge of receiving the cat clan, didn't say anything, and arranged for his fellow clansmen to stay in the Huoyan Department for two days, and when they were almost ready, he dispatched himself to lead the guests to the cat clan farm.

Qiu has a straightforward personality, but that doesn't mean he won't hold grudges... At the beginning of the year, he had to talk to the three families before convincing him. The farm opened up by our partners.

Seeing from a distance the farmland that is busy harvesting in full swing, the sweet potatoes piled up on the side of the farmland, and the bundles of alfalfa all over the mountains and plains, and listening to the rhythmic inhalation sound of the hundreds of big cats behind him, Qiu Dun felt the pain in his stomach. The qi I had accumulated for more than half a year finally dissipated completely, and the whole mantle felt refreshed~!
