Chapter 111 'Timely Rain' Zhao Geng
"This way, this way, and then this way..."
Just because the people in the deserted mountain camp failed to tie the fence properly before doesn’t mean they will be able to tie it properly again. The key here is that they have to master this technique.
Fortunately, learning this is not complicated. Basically, after being taught a few times, you will have learned it almost perfectly.
At the same time, in order to facilitate their reference, Zhou Xu personally took action and tied out a section of fence.
"Based on this standard, take a look."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu placed his hands on two branches of the fence and pulled them hard twice.
During this process, the two branches actually moved, but the tribal members who were responsible for this work could clearly see the difference.
If it was their previous fence, it would have definitely loosened or even fallen apart if it was pulled like this.
However, this did not happen with the one tied by their new leader, or rather, the looseness was very slight, so slight that it was almost negligible.
“Just follow this standard.”
It is not difficult to learn this, but the trouble with tying a fence is that it requires a lot of manpower and time, and then it is high-intensity repetitive work.
Zhou Xuke had no intention of wasting time here. After teaching everything he needed to teach, he took Zhou Chongshan, Wang Chuan and others to the next place.
Just like in other camps, Zhou Xu’s job now is to look around and discuss and solve any problems that arise.
After all, there are many things in this world that cannot be guaranteed to be done simply by issuing an order.
Because you cannot be sure whether your subordinates fully understand what you mean.
To this end, the safest way is to keep an eye on it yourself.
After simply finishing the work on the fence here, they moved slowly towards the next place.
The closest thing to this place is the farmland surrounding the camp.
But this is not quite accurate. Because of the layout of the camp, the farmlands here are scattered here and there. This piece is the closest to the camp, and it is also the first piece that Wang Luchong started to cultivate.
At this moment, the farmers in the camp were busy digging up the vegetables in the fields and then flattening the fields.
During this process, Zhou Xu could see that many farmers' eyes were filled with incomprehension and dissatisfaction with his order.
This is normal.
From their perspective, these farmlands and the crops in them were all cultivated with their sweat and hard work.
Their new leader flattened the farmland right after he came to power. There was no way they could be in a good mood.
But among such a group of people, Zhou Xu keenly noticed that there was one person whose eyes and expression were calm throughout.
Compared with the other farmers around him who were obviously not happy and were hesitant in their movements, not only did he not show any dissatisfaction, but his movements were also very efficient, as if he had no attachment to these farmlands at all.
"Wang Chuan, is that also from your Ministry of Agriculture?"
Obviously, in order to facilitate construction, Wang Luchong also set up various departments.
After hearing Zhou Xu's words, Wang Chuan took a closer look and nodded quickly.
"That's Zhao Geng, the Minister of Agriculture."
“He’s still a minister?”
Zhou Xu was slightly surprised.
"Yes, Zhao Geng performed well in his previous farming work and was later promoted to minister."
When this was mentioned, Zhou Xu became excited.
[It sounds like he became the department head based on his ability, maybe he is a talented person! ]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu immediately said...
"Call the person over to have a chat."
"yes."
As he spoke, Wang Chuan quickly ran over and called Zhao Geng over.
Long-term exposure to wind and sun made Zhao Geng's skin dark and extremely rough, and his facial features were nothing special. He was just an ordinary person with an ordinary appearance.
Zhao Geng, who was busy working, was suddenly called over by the new leader. He looked a little uneasy. He walked up and called out "leader".
Zhou Xu listened and smiled.
"Your name is Zhao Geng?"
"It's me."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just a little curious and want to chat with you."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu pointed at the farmers below who were doing their work reluctantly.
"They are obviously dissatisfied with the fact that the farmland is being flattened, so their work efficiency has even decreased. But I think you are different from them."
At this point, Zhou Xu paused...
"I don't see any dissatisfaction in you. You are very efficient in doing things, and it seems that you don't care about these fields at all. So I want to know what you think."
Facing Zhou Xu's question, Zhao Geng was silent for two seconds, then he spoke...
"Because I think this field should have been bulldozed long ago."
Zhao Geng's words made Zhou Xu even more surprised, and then he motioned for the other party to continue.
"This location is not good. It is too far from the water source. It is very troublesome to carry water for irrigation on weekdays. Moreover, many fields are not in the same place. At the end of the day, the time spent carrying water is more than the time spent watering the fields. Moreover, the scattered fields are not convenient to manage..."
"It's also too close to the camp. Oftentimes, some of the camp's daily work will affect us, which is a real headache. And there's also..."
Zhao Geng was obviously holding back his resentment regarding the planning and arrangement of the field locations, and when Zhou Xu asked him about it, he immediately started to complain like crazy.
"I have mentioned this to the former leader many times before. We should flatten these fields as soon as possible and find a more suitable place to start farming again. This will definitely be more efficient over time, but the former leader did nothing..."
Having said this, Zhao Geng paused as if he had thought of something, and then looked at Zhou Xu nervously.
He felt really good after all the complaints just now, but he almost forgot that the new leader was standing right in front of him.
Even though he has been complaining about the previous leader all the time, there is no guarantee that the new leader won't take it to heart.
Little did he know that Zhou Xu was very happy at the moment. Zhao Geng's ideas were highly consistent with his. He estimated that he would get at least three stars. With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu quickly used his "Eye of Insight".
Soon, under the lock of the Eye of Insight, Zhao Geng's attribute panel unfolded before his eyes...
Name: Zhao Geng
Gender: Male Age: 20 Race: Human
Status: Exhausted Mantra: None Talent: Agricultural Expert: Food is the primary need of the people, and agricultural development is the foundation of life! Bravery: ★★
Intelligence: ★★☆☆
Spirit: ★★☆ Endurance: ★★☆ Command: ★★
As soon as this panel came out, even Zhou Xu, who had been mentally prepared, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth wildly.
In addition to having four-star intelligence potential, the potential of spirit and endurance has reached the level of two three-stars.
With such a panel, Zhao Geng is undoubtedly a talent worth focusing on! At the same time, for Zhou Xu, who is preparing to focus on farming in the next stage, he really came at the right time! Zhao Geng is simply a "timely rain"!
