Although there were tractors, oxcarts were also indispensable.

Tractors can indeed carry loads, but with only one tractor, it's impossible to transport all the grain.

Even when the Red Star Brigade delivered its grain to the state, it required the use of oxcarts and manpower.

Relatively speaking, human resources are the least valuable asset.

As long as they can eat a bowl of rice, they can make several trips back and forth.

The same applies to oxen; as long as they can eat grass, oxen can continuously unleash their power.

Unfortunately, the Red Flag Brigade didn't have many cattle.

Moreover, some of the cows are already pregnant, and you can't exert too much force on such cows.

If it leads to a miscarriage, then it would be a case of losing more than you gain.

Therefore, the people of the Red Flag Brigade would rather carry the load themselves than use an oxcart.

It's really not worth it.

Gu Yunyang also joined the team carrying grain.

After he arrived here, he didn't do any heavy physical labor, and everyone stopped him from working in the fields.

Gu Yunyang worked so fast that the others felt he was just there to embarrass them.

Since there weren't enough work points, everyone tacitly agreed to let Gu Yunyang not have to work.

However, Gu Yunyang was present when the grain was delivered today, so it's impossible for him not to work.

To avoid giving others a handle to use against you.

However, Gu Yunyang was strong, so this kind of work was really nothing to him.

Gu Hanping watched as he carried a load on a shoulder pole, walking briskly, even faster than the old farmers.

The others seemed to be slacking off a bit, but not too much.

Gu Yunyang's speed is indeed much faster than others.

Others have only made two trips, while he has already made three.

Work points will be calculated today as well.

Look at Gu Changjun, so slow and he hasn't even made a single round trip yet.

They had to stop and rest after walking a few steps, saying their shoulders couldn't take it.

Who hasn't gone through this process?

With your delicate shoulders, you can't lift things?

The other educated youth were the same; they didn't quite adapt on the first and second days.

But gradually, I got used to it.

Humans are incredibly adaptable.

Gu Hanping couldn't help but say, "Gu Changjun, if you do this, I'm going to have my work points deducted today."

Originally, men were entitled to 12 centimeters of full work points and women were entitled to 10 centimeters of full work points when paying grain taxes today.

Even the most capable women, who selected just as many as the men, also earned 12 work points.

But for someone like Gu Changjun, even one work point would be too much.

Gu Changjun was secretly delighted, but said with a wronged expression, "Captain, I haven't gotten used to it yet, so... otherwise..."

Don't even think about it.

Gu Hanping flatly refused.

Gu Changjun was probably thinking that otherwise he wouldn't be going to work today.

How is that possible?

When it comes to delivering grain to the state, everyone except the children has to work.

Gu Changjun's idea was quite rosy.

If you don't get work points, will you still get your rations?

Stop daydreaming.

Gu Hanping criticized, "Look at the others. Just look at Zhou Yu next to you. He came on the same day as you. Now he's also earning eight work points a day."

And you? If a backward element like you continues like this, I'll have to make you go to the threshing ground and give a public apology in front of everyone."

Gu Changjun's face darkened upon hearing this.

Yes, the captain can't impose any other punishments.
