Mercedes-Benzes were hard to come by back then, but Zhang Wenyuan's connections made it possible.
In northern society, personal relationships and social connections are very important and constitute a large part of the social structure.
This kind of thing was hard for Wang Tianxiao to accept at first, let alone tell it to later generations.
It's like someone who's always hungry wondering what rich people eat every day—do they eat lots of meat buns, or do they just eat one and throw it away? That's a difference in perspective.
With this income, Wang Tianxiao did not think about building a big house immediately and living the life of a small landlord.
He continued to proceed with the original plan step by step.
Being reborn means that happiness in life is one aspect.
Achieving something is another aspect.
If being reborn is just to live a muddled life, it's not impossible, but it just feels a bit regrettable.
Wang Tianxiao was observing the health of the doe when Wu Wenhua and his brothers returned from their midday work.
Wang Tianxiao wasn't a ruthless miser; he wasn't very strict with everyone. As long as they maintained a certain pace each day, they could come back to rest when they were tired, and then continue working after they had rested.
However, because the people chosen were all very good, everyone's progress remained fast and showed no signs of slowing down.
This made him very happy.
He didn't understand anything about management; his only ideas came from books. Compared to various advanced management models, he appreciated Lao Tzu's philosophy more.
Governing by non-interference.
Creating a utopian environment where everyone can take initiative and live happily is also a good option.
After he went out, everyone greeted him, but he noticed that everyone's mood didn't seem very high.
Even Mi Xiaoqing, who is usually very lively, was pouting and looked sullen.
Li Guanping, the second brother-in-law, went to wash his face without saying a word.
"What's wrong? What happened to you? Your faces are all clouded with worry?"
Wang Tianxiao joked with a smile that he would mainly ask Wu Wenhua, who was the most reliable and easier to communicate with among these people.
"Ugh, boss, I'm so annoyed."
"Oh? Tell me, what's wrong that's making everyone so upset at the same time?"
"It's all because of those birds," Wu Wenhua said with a wry smile, explaining the whole story to Wang Tianxiao.
It turns out that while Wu Wenhua and the others were working today, a nest of winter cuckoos flew in from somewhere and played hide-and-seek with them. Whenever they weren't paying attention, the cuckoos would swoop down and eat the grass seeds.
They tried to chase them away at first, but those birds were much more agile than people. When you approached, they would swarm off to other places to eat, and as soon as you retreated, they would come back again.
They have people completely under their control.
According to Wu Wenhua, there are at least several hundred of these winter cuckoos. If they are left to their own devices, the seeds they have sown will likely be eaten up sooner or later.
They practically treat this place as their dining hall.
Wang Tianxiao frowned upon hearing this.
The birds in these mountains are not as cute as people imagine. People living near the mountains get furious when they talk about the birds.
Because these guys are more despicable than those small beasts; they're like a band of robbers.
Every time they come to the farmers' fields in groups to eat, they can devour all the crops that the farmers have worked so hard to grow throughout the year in no time.
At first, people thought of making a scarecrow to scare the birds, but over time, the birds figured out this trick. Not only were they not afraid of the scarecrow, they would even stand on the scarecrow's head and poop.
They waged a guerrilla war against the mountain people.
What's most infuriating is that birds have an exceptionally high reproductive rate. Many flocks that are only a few dozen birds this year can multiply to hundreds by the following year after just one spring and summer.
It was a grand and impressive procession, but they bullied people terribly.
To deal with birds, people have tried all sorts of methods, such as capturing them manually, using nets to lure them into traps, or releasing cats into fields to suppress predators.
It has some effect, but it's all just a drop in the ocean.
To solve the problem, we still need birds' natural predators.
Humans, after all, do not have wings, and are naturally at a disadvantage in the struggle with birds.
Take the winter cuckoo mentioned in Wu culture as an example. This bird is a particularly abnormal and shameless bird that has evolved.
The cuckoo, also known as the common cuckoo bird or the great cuckoo, is a type of bird commonly referred to as the cuckoo.
Why is it called a cuckoo? Because this bird loves to call out during breeding and courtship, or at night. Its call sounds like "cuckoo" and it can call out twenty or thirty times in a row, which can be quite annoying.
Cuckoos are migratory birds that like to eat insects, so they often migrate with the changing seasons.
Otherwise they would starve to death.
However, there are exceptions to all of the above.
The winter cuckoo is a unique species among cuckoos.
Because it is not only not afraid of the cold, but also likes to eat grass seeds, it has transformed directly from a carnivorous bird into a vegetarian. Who can you complain to about this?
It is important to understand that each bird species must maintain a fixed pattern within an ecosystem in order to maintain ecological balance. However, if one species suddenly evolves different lifestyle habits, it will inevitably reshape the ecosystem.
Imagine how terrifying it would be if a tiger could fly.
This winter cuckoo is smaller than the common cuckoo, and its plumage doesn't have the same variety of colors as the regular cuckoo.
The winter cuckoo is basically pure white, somewhat resembling the color of a white pigeon.
This color ensures that they can become camouflage to protect themselves when it snows in winter.
Why is the winter cuckoo so annoying?
Because the main predators of the Ziwuling bird are mustelids and birds of prey, these predators tend to hibernate or semi-hibernate in winter due to lack of food.
As the saying goes, "When the tiger is away, the monkeys reign supreme."
These winter cuckoos face significantly less danger, so they can basically wreak havoc everywhere with impunity.
Who could be happy to see their hard-earned crops ruined?
No wonder everyone looks so gloomy.
