The fat supervisor's eyes lit up and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Oh my, I thought the magpies chirping so early in the morning meant there must be some good news."
"So there's a messenger here to help me. This is really great news."
"I can tell at a glance that this officer is someone who can accomplish great things..."
The chief officer was stunned by the fat supervisor's sudden change of expression.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Before the chief officer could say anything, the fat supervisor laughed and shouted to the crowd,
"Tiedan, lead the way quickly and bring the cart. Now that we have a few strong officers, you can finally get started."
"Okay, here we come!" A dark and thin boy stood up from the crowd.
The fat supervisor smiled and looked at the chief officer.
"Just follow Tiedan. We're short of manpower here. I see that all the officers look very brave and heroic. This is an easy job that only you can do."
What he lacks is strong labor.
All the strong laborers went to build the training ground, and only the old, weak and disabled were left to manage the vacant land as supervisors.
These people were fine with dealing with the weeds, but digging out the rocks deep in the ground was a bit of a struggle.
It would be even more difficult to ask them to dig soil and transport it to fill the hole.
Basically, only two or three trucks of soil can be transported in a day.
They were all a group of half-grown children. After digging the soil for a whole day, their hands were full of blisters. Then they had to pull the soil over to fill the pit, which was too much for their bodies to bear.
It just so happens that he has the most problems on his side, which has made him very worried these past two days.
"Come on, sir. The cart and tools are all over there. Let's just go straight over there."
Tiedan walked out of the crowd happily, his eyes shining as he looked at the dozen or so strong laborers.
There are plenty of carts and shovels in the area where the soil is being dug, but what is lacking is people to dig the soil.
The fat supervisor looked at the confused officials and urged them with a smile,
"Go quickly, you'll be back in time for lunch. There are meat buns."
The stomachs of these people standing next to him never stopped rumbling, and it was obvious that they were here just to get a free meal.
After they have done their work, they will naturally be given food, and the cooks are not stingy about this.
When the officers heard about the meat buns, their eyes lit up.
There is only so much work to do, and you can eat meat buns after working for a while, so just do it.
"Boss, let's go. It's not tiring to run a distance."
Nothing has been built in this area. They are just weeding and digging stones. I guess they are just pulling away the weeds, which is not tiring.
The hesitant officer was urged by his brothers and looked at Tiedan and nodded.
"Okay, let's go."
The fat supervisor watched Tiedan and more than ten officials leave, and with a raised mouth, he shouted at the backs of the more than ten people,
"Two people per cart, don't be lazy, there are so many people watching, don't embarrass the officer."
When the fat supervisor shouted, thousands of eyes around him all looked at the officers.
The officers following Tiedan paused, feeling as if they were in a difficult situation.
Why do the fat overseer's words sound so strange?
Before the officers could respond, Tiedan quickly shouted,
"Don't worry, the policemen are very capable. Not to mention two people on a cart, if they are capable, even one person on a cart is not a problem."
The chief officer stared at the boastful Tiedan with eyes wide open, wishing he could go up and cover his mouth.
What kind of cart is this? He didn't even know what they were supposed to do, and yet they assigned one cart to each of them?
It's not easy for one person to walk on this bumpy ground while pulling a cart full of grass.
Tiedan smiled and looked back at the confused officials.
"Look, my dear, everyone is looking at you in admiration."
The officers looked around and saw that the old ones were very old and the young ones were not even as tall as their crotches, all looking at them with envy.
I don’t know if Magistrate Deng has lost his mind. He actually found so many old, weak and sick people to do the work. Isn’t this just a waste of food?
Although these people can't eat much, they can't do much either.
Look at the old man with white beard, who gasps for breath when he pulls grass. I'm afraid he can't pull out two kilograms of grass in the whole morning.
No one knew what the strong laborers in Qianhuang City were doing. Looking around, only the supervisors looked a little active.
There was a row of cooks, but not one of them had no white hair.
The officers' mouths twitched twice.
Yes, their strength is indeed very impressive compared to these old, weak and disabled people.
It's normal for these people to admire them. It's good to be young and strong.
Thinking of this, the officers puffed out their chests and strode behind Tiedan with a majestic look.
When the other supervisors saw this, they were so envious that they slapped their thighs.
They also want strong laborers to pull the soil.
What a pity that so many strong laborers were taken away by the fat overseer.
With one person and one cart, after ten or so trips, all the holes in the fat supervisor's area can be filled.
Otherwise, after the fat supervisor has filled the hole, I can lend these tall and strong officers to them! ?
Before they reached the local officials, they couldn't help shivering in the scorching summer heat.
It always felt like something was watching them.
They followed Tiedan nervously, holding back their questions.
"Where are we going?"
Tiedan said without even turning his head, "Go pull the cart?"
"Pull the cart back to load it with grass and stones!?" the officer asked doubtfully.
"Well.....it's OK, if you don't mind being tired."
Anyway, the kids had already pulled back a cart full of dirt, and they didn't have the energy to put weeds and stones on the cart and pull it out.
But these officers are much stronger than their children, so there should be no problem.
The chief officer was even more confused when he heard this. "Where are we going to pull the cart?"
"Outside the city."
“Why is the cart so far away?”
"Just pull the rocks out and put them over there."
“…”
After asking many questions along the way, the officers didn't think anything else at all and just thought that he was pulling a cart back to haul grass.
It was not until the officials followed Tiedan out of the city gate under the surprised gaze of the gate guards and walked to a ditch full of carts that they realized what was going on.
“We have to dig up the mud and then drag it back!!?”
The chief officer looked at the long ditch where a dozen shirtless men were shoveling dirt, and looked at Tiedan in shock.
"Yes." Tiedan nodded. "The dry and hard soil on top has been shoveled away. The soil below is softer and easier to dig. Just send us down there to dig."
"The younger ones aren't as strong as me, so we can't dig it out from below and throw it up."
Tiedan pointed to a ditch more than a meter deep and said, "There are shovels down there. They're all new and sharp, so digging is easy."
The officers gathered around the ditch and looked at the bottom of the bumpy ditch. Sure enough, there were more than ten brand new shovels stuck in it.
