The secret war is silent

Taifu Mountain, with moso bamboo forests all over the mountains and plains.

This is not for special training. We are clearly asked to do coolies. Liu Jinbao said with some complaints while waving his machete.

This is also a kind of training. Now that we are here, no matter what we do, we have to listen to the instructor. Gong Hui slashed the root of the bamboo with a knife. When he took it back, his face was red.

The not-so-sharp hatchet only left a cut of less than three inches on it. It would take seventy or eighty cuts to completely cut off the bamboo.

The moso bamboo here is so thick that it is almost like a bucket.

Luo Yao waved his sword like rain.

Ding ding...

Ten minutes later, a moso bamboo thicker than his thigh fell down, and his back was already soaked.

According to this efficiency, if 200 moso bamboos (big as the mouth of a bowl) are divided equally among five people, and if each person does not stop for a moment, it will take him nearly 8 hours to chop down 40 bamboos.

Judging from their current work efficiency, they absolutely cannot do it in two days.

If you still fight on your own.

Mancang's efficiency was the fastest, but after cutting three of them, he was panting from exhaustion, and his strength would be consumed faster and faster!

have lunch.

After counting the results, five people chopped less than thirty moso bamboos in one morning.

Even if the same amount of moso bamboo is cut in the afternoon, only 60 moso bamboos can be completed in one day, and the total of two days can only be 120 moso bamboos. In three days, only the required moso bamboo materials can be collected.

This is far from what is needed.

what to do?

Luo Yao!

Li Fu, why are you here? Luo Yao, who was eating dry food, heard someone calling his name. He looked up and saw that it was Li Fu, and he was a little surprised.

How's it going? How many did your team get this morning? Li Fu, wearing a shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his forearms, walked over and asked.

Luo Yao pointed his hand: Look, that's all.

Hehe, your efficiency is not very high, you only did so much in one morning? Li Fu chuckled.

Team Leader Li, are you here to mock us on purpose? Gu Yuan came over unhappily and said with a pointed look.

Li Fu said hurriedly: No, no, don't get me wrong. I was wondering if our two groups could unite?

How to unite?

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. All we have on hand now are hatchets and axes. It's too inefficient to do this. If we can get a saw, it will save a lot of effort and speed up the work. Li Fu said.

If you want to get a saw, most people don't have it. You have to find a carpenter who knows how to do it. We are unfamiliar with the place. I'm afraid we won't have enough time when we find it? Gu Yuan said.

Gu Yuan was right. Although ordinary people's homes also have saws, to cut such thick moso bamboo materials, a long saw is necessary. Moreover, ordinary people's homes use very few materials. It would be great to have only thirty or fifty pieces. Therefore, even if it takes time and effort, it won't be a big problem if you do it slowly.

But they are different.

Li Fu chuckled: It's definitely too late to go to the town to buy. I found out that there is a village near here that has a long saw for cutting materials, but they refused to lend it to us. We wanted to buy it, but the price they offered was too high. Yes, so...

Is this the real reason why you came to Luo Yao? Gong Hui walked over, her pretty face covered with glistening beads of sweat, and asked coldly.

Gong Hui, who doesn't know this? Luo Yao is now the richest person in our temporary training class. If I don't look for him, others will look for him? Li Fu didn't deny it, and said openly.

How many?

Three hundred dollars.

Three hundred, why don't you grab it? Liu Jinbao exclaimed.

There is no way. People know that we are in urgent need and deliberately blackmail you. You can't just come and rob us, right? Li Fu said helplessly.

Luo Yao is indeed rich, not only because he captured Peng Rentu alive, but also the reward Yiyang gave him exclusively. It was originally said to be five thousand oceans, but in the end he only gave three thousand. There was no way, this was still the reward the Secret Service went to collect. , if it were anyone else, it would be nice if they could get a thousand dollars, but they might not be able to put it in your pocket.

Also, after arresting Peng Rentu and interrogating him in person, Shen Yu led people to raid his home and confiscated all the wealth he had hidden.

Luo Yao didn't know the exact amount, but Shen Yu quietly gave him two thousand French coins, which was quite interesting.

The wealth obtained is definitely more than ten times this amount, or even dozens of times more. It would be great to be able to get a share of it. I had no hope in the first place.

According to the current exchange ratio between ocean and legal currency, Luo Yao is now an out-and-out tycoon, the richest among the first batch of students in the special training class.

I can pay for it, and it's okay for our two groups to join forces. However, for the moso bamboo material we got in the end, we will divide it into seven for me and three for you. How about it? Luo Yao did not refuse. Apparently Li Fu had already negotiated with someone. alright.

Only lack of money.

As long as we complete the task, is there any point in fighting for this? Li Fu frowned slightly.

Who doesn't want to leave a good impression in front of Deputy Director Yu, don't you think?

Li Fu said: Your request is too much, isn't it? This method was also something we thought of?

You can think of it, and so can others. If another group gets there first, it will be too late. Luo Yao said with a smile.

You won't be able to complete the task if another team gets there first. What good does this do to you? Li Fu asked, Don't think that just because you have money, you have nothing to fear.

Yes, just because I have money, I have nothing to fear. Besides, I have other ways to complete the task. But your team... Luo Yao deliberately prolonged his voice.

Li Fu was very angry at Luo Yao's rogue expression.

Hurry up and decide, we will continue working after dinner. Luo Yao urged. After experiencing the flash flood that night, although some people secretly called him Sister Luo, no one dared to do so openly. I despise him as a person who came in through the back door.

How about June 4th? You six and us four. If you don't agree, then let's break up. Li Fu thought about it seriously and said.

Luo Yao lowered his head and thought for a moment: Okay, after all, we are also the same batch of students entering the temporary training class. Helping you means helping me.

Afterwards, Luo Yao happily gave the money, and Li Fu took the money and went there. About half an hour passed.

Li Fu brought back four long saws and a flatbed truck for transporting moso bamboo.

How could Li Fu give other groups a chance to do something? He brought four long cutting saws that could be found in the nearest village.

By the time other groups reacted, it was already too late.

They can only go to a farther village, or rent or buy a saw from the city tomorrow morning and come back.

This would delay them for at least half a day, and if they waited to get the saw tomorrow and go into the mountains to cut down the wood, they would probably waste another half day.

If there is no other way, then the other six groups may not be able to complete their tasks.

If you fail to complete the task, not only will you be punished, but it will also be a matter of face.

Old Liu, you are like this... Seeing Li Fu bring a long saw, Luo Yao quietly called Liu Jinbao aside and whispered instructions in his ear.

Liu Jinbao was shocked and dumbfounded after hearing what Luo Yao said. How could he do this?

Go quickly, no one can do this except you. When the time comes, you will get a share of the profits. Luo Yao urged.

Really? Liu Jinbao was excited, with a hint of joy on his face. After all, he didn't need to pay anything except running some errands. Is there anything he couldn't do in this business?

Be careful and keep it secret!

I know. Liu Jinbao nodded. How could he miss the opportunity to make a fortune?

…

What were you two talking about just now? Luo Yao and Liu Jinbao whispered, arousing Gong Hui's curiosity.

Luo Yao hurriedly explained: It's nothing. Later, Lao Liu and a group of people will transport moso bamboo materials back and ask him to bring us raincoats. It may rain when we go back today.

Really? Gong Hui always felt that Luo Yao had lied to her, but she couldn't tell. Luo Yao didn't want to tell, so she couldn't ask anything.

This guy is so good at lying.

…

Li Fu reacted quickly, and so did the others. Wen Zishan from the second group, Su Li from the fourth group, and Zhang Fengxiang from the seventh group also joined forces. They also thought of the inefficiency of machetes and axes, but A saw is the best tool for cutting moso bamboo.

But tools are not so easy to find. First of all, there is no preparation within the class headquarters, and the construction of the auditorium is a temporary decision. There are insufficient preparations. Being able to equip them with axes and machetes is already quite a support.

If you want to get other tools, you can only find ways from other aspects.

Everyone unanimously thought of borrowing or leasing it from the villagers near the bamboo forest, but by the time they sent someone there, it was already too late.

All the long saws were either bought or rented by one group at a high price.

Now the other groups were all anxious. One group was so insidious that they actually took away all the saws in the nearby village. Their respective group leaders came over to argue with Li Fu.

Li Fu was not stupid, so he naturally understood that he was letting Luo Yao do the trick.

There was no way, he couldn't tell these team leaders, he could only bite the bullet and admit that he did it all.

This also made the people in one group feel aggrieved. Why did they misunderstand others and give most of the benefits to the fifth group?

Who made them poor!

I can only endure this tone and take it out on bamboo, and my work efficiency is surprisingly high.

However, according to the interests divided between one group and five groups, in the end, part of their achievements were transferred to the five groups.

The angry group of people had their noses crooked, but there was nothing they could do. If both parties had an agreement, they had to accept their agreement. Besides, without a long saw, they couldn't cut down so many moso bamboos.

…

Director, the first batch of student teams reported today's moso bamboo cutting results. One group has 96 bamboos, the second group has 73 bamboos, the third group has 67 bamboos, the fourth group has 71 bamboos, and the fifth group has 120 bamboos... In the evening, secretary Liao Xia said After counting the felling data of each group, I came to Yu Jie to report the situation.

Wait a minute, why are the data of the five groups so different from the data of the other groups?

That's because they rented four saws from nearby villagers at a high price. The efficiency of cutting was greatly improved, and they cut much more than other groups. Liao Xia explained.

Yu Jie couldn't help but smile: Is this kid Luo Yao responsible?

I don't know if it was Luo Yao who was behind the scenes, but the person who came forward to rent the saws was Li Fu, the leader of one group. There were four saws, two for each of the first group and the fifth group. Liao Xia said.

No wonder. Yu Jie nodded, At this rate, they won't be able to get the materials to build the auditorium in two days. When will the students from Zhengzhou say?

In about two days.

Let them hurry up. We can also buy some long saws and distribute them to them to use, so as to improve efficiency. Yu Jie ordered.

PS: Most people don’t have saws, only machetes or axes, and they have to borrow them from others. When I was a child, it was like this in rural areas. Only those with carpenters at home had long saws for cutting large materials, and small saws were not good enough. Two people could use them. kind of.
