Gawain couldn't explain his plans and long-term considerations to others - even the most trustworthy people like Rebecca and Hetty, he couldn't explain to them what he really thought, so he What you can do is to break down your ambitious plans into stages and details, and then slowly pile them up.
What we did today can be said to be the most basic part, and even the construction of this territory is just the foundation.
For Rebecca and Hetty, Gawain allowed them to see the incredible side of the commoners and serfs.
They have never seen civilians and serfs working with such high enthusiasm, and completing tasks that they would never be able to do well in the past.
They thought it was Gawain's promise that "you can eat meat at night" that was motivating these people, and this was indeed the case.
It is still too early to build the so-called upsurge of people's confidence and the glory of labor. Using a meal of meat to stimulate the work enthusiasm of the labor force is the simplest and most effective way.
Back in the tent in the center of the camp, Gawain found a pen and paper and began to record some things. At the same time, he ordered the Byron knight who followed him: "Send two people to take out the meat and cook it. Servings for ten people. In addition, as long as they participate in the labor, we will have enough vegetable soup and black bread. We still have plenty of food. No one will get sick due to cold and hunger in the early stages of territory construction."
"Do you really want to prepare meat for ten people?" Byron asked a little surprised.
Gawain responded as he should: "Of course, I must fulfill my promise. Is there any problem?"
"I thought you just wanted to stew a pot of broth," Byron explained, "Just a few pieces of meat the size of walnuts, add vegetables, and stew a big pot of soup, and those people will be grateful."
"Do as I say," Gawain waved his hand , "The promise I made does not allow for any discount. By the way, let the cook set up the big pot in the most visible place in the camp. I want everyone to see the scene of the stew, and at the same time let the soldiers maintain it next to it. Good order, no looting is allowed."
Knight Byron bowed with a slightly strange expression and took the order to leave.
Gawain noticed the sight coming from the side. He turned his head and found Amber staring at him without blinking.
"What are you looking at?" He moved his neck uncomfortably, "Is there something on my face?"
"I wonder if you were hit by something when you were in the treasure house. I'm possessed by something that affects my mind, but it doesn't look like it," Amber said seriously, "I've never heard of a noble taking the initiative to reduce their wealth..."
Gawain felt a little funny: "Do you think those measures of mine are reducing my wealth?"
"Otherwise?" Amber spread his hands, "turning serfs into free people means that they will You only need to hand over part of the food grown to you, and you also need to pay wages to the freedmen, which is even more important.He took money out of his own pocket... Can a noble do this? "
"If I ask you to help me paint the walls, how much can you do in a day without giving me any money but just giving orders? ”
Amber thought for a while: “I will steal a few coins from your pocket, hire a boy from the service room to do it for me, and use the remaining money to exchange for wine!” "
Gawain: "...I am full and full to reason with you, the shame of all things! "
Amber: "Why am I so ashamed of all things! "
At this time, Hetty walked into the tent and interrupted Amber's outburst. The lady still had an expression of disbelief on her face: "Ancestors, this is incredible, they have never worked so hard. Worked - especially those serfs, they can get things done without even needing an overseer..."
"Because they were just working for the lord before, but now their work is related to their food "It's closely related," Gawain said without any surprise, "This is just the first step. You can already see that compared to the extra food and wages we have to pay for this, what we get is much more. ”
“I once thought about using incentives to make them work, but I didn’t do it to this extent.” Hetty shook his head. “I dare not think if we really continue these systems.” Go down and see what the future of the territory will be like. ”
Gawain laughed: “It will definitely develop in a good direction, just believe me.” And what I did today is just the first step. Come and take a look at these..."
He has been writing and drawing on several pieces of paper since just now. Amber came over and looked at two Eyes felt bored and stopped paying attention, and now Hetty heard Gawain's instructions and immediately came over obediently: "What is this...? ”
The paper was full of sentences that she couldn’t understand. It looked more like a pile of weird nouns, such as work groups, competition and contracting, assessment methods and efficiency statistics, and in There are also words about mid-term plans written on several other pieces of paper, including general education, magic talent census, talent introduction, etc., which seems even more puzzling.
"These are all mine. I thought of it for a while, but there was never the time to implement it before. Now that the territory construction has begun, some things should be included in the schedule." Gao Wen pointed to the top piece of paper, "These things are very important to me. I’m afraid it’s still difficult for many commoners and serfs to understand, so I will tell you once, and then you will tell them to the Knights of Byron and the people in charge of overseeing the work, and then repeat them to everyone - by the way, Rebbe Where's the card? "
"She... is helping to burn the weeds and bushes south of the river beach," Hetty said. "This is also one of the ways she usually practices magic. "
Gawain twitched the corner of his mouth: "Let her come over too, it doesn't matter when you practice the big fireball. ”
Soon Rebecca was called in. The viscountess’s face was dark and her body smelled like fireworks. She was not practicing magic so much.It's more like he just walked out of the kitchen - no wonder he knows how to use fireballs now.
"Let me tell you about the next work shift system in the camp," Gawain spread out his schedule and explained in detail, "First is the work group-I require all laborers to be divided into Groups of five to ten people are assigned work content and shifts and breaks as a group...
"All groups must report to the supervisor before starting work, and they must also report when they complete the work and leave. The supervisor is responsible for statistics The work of each group. In addition, each group has a group leader, who is responsible for assigning work within the group...
"The group leader lets them choose their own, and tells them that the group leader is not fixed. If a group If there is a long-term impact on work efficiency, or if there is any behavior that deceives the supervisors and lords, they will be replaced immediately.
"We will evaluate the work effectiveness according to the group, the whole group rewards, the whole group punishment, the reward and punishment system and the competition mechanism. Let’s talk about it later…
“As for the scoring system I mentioned before, considering that most people can’t read or count, it’s up to you, Hetty, to record the completion status of each group. We will discuss the specific contribution counting slowly...
"In addition, we will also discuss the recording method of each group receiving and returning tools. ”
Gawain said a lot of things in one breath. Not only Rebecca, but also Hetty became dizzy. The latter stared blankly at Gawain as he continued to write on the paper. Huahua, some scrawled shorthand contents were quickly added to the previous noun entries. She couldn't help but be a little confused: "Ancestor, making a simple job so complicated won't actually reduce...efficiency. What? ”
“These systems only look complicated, but at the end of the system, that is, the civilians and serfs, they only need to work quickly and well to get benefits. After they taste the sweetness, they Naturally, they will follow it seriously, and when they start to comply, you will see an even more amazing efficiency than setting up a tent today. Of course, it may be difficult to implement them at first, so you have to keep preaching them and explaining them. Beyond that, it has to be enforced, enforced, no reason why - just tell them, this is Cecil's new law. ”
At this time, Gawain couldn’t help but feel a little grateful for this backward era. The people were not enlightened. Both the free people and the slave class regarded obeying orders as a matter of course. The words of the lord were absolute. , and the so-called "untouchables" have no room for resistance. In this case, many of his ideas can be implemented without too much explanation...
However, this is not what Gawain wants. His purpose is to break this environment and make every "pariah" in Cecil's territory no longer a pariah, but a living person.
He needs people, a lot of people <. /p>
Because what he wanted to do could not be accomplished by himself
That’s why he let Hetty do it.While promoting these systems, they continue to preach them to the people. It doesn't matter if the civilians don't understand them now, they will understand them one day.
Hetty is not stupid, she is wise enough, and her opinions are far ahead of the contemporary aristocracy, so after Gawain explained, she thought for a while. After that, she vaguely understood the meaning of doing so, and nodded in agreement.
"What about me?" Seeing that Aunt Hetty already had a task, Rebecca couldn't help but join in enthusiastically, "What should I do?"
This viscountess who was the Lord of Cecil not long ago has completely placed herself in the position of Gawain's assistant.
"Take some people to survey the soil tomorrow and confirm the difficulty of land reclamation and the scope of land reclamation in the early stage. Don't run too far."
Gao Wen said as he quickly A rough map was drawn on a piece of white paper next to it. It was a large area centered on the river beach, and he also casually marked the distance numbers of various places on it. Although it was just an outline that was not even a sketch, it was Rebecca was stunned for a moment.
"Just follow this range - don't worry about the places outside the range."
Rebecca took the "map" blankly: "Oh...oh... ..."
Amber next to him looked at Gawain as if he were a monster: "You...were the guys who did the second development back then all monsters?"
Gawain thought for a while and felt that other old guys from seven hundred years ago would not jump out of their graves and beat him, so he made nonsense: "Yes, it is our way to draw half the kingdom's topographic map with your eyes closed." The standard for modern people”
Amber: “…”
