You, on the other hand, try to control everything. Even if you stand in the kitchen watching over them every day, shouting and yelling, their efficiency wont improve much. You should be good at delegating tasks to your subordinates and motivating them to work.
Seeing her still confused, Maximus patiently explained, Lets take the example of cooking porridge, soup, and at in the kitchen. You can divide the people who are good at these tasks into two or three groups, appoint a leader for each group, and assign them tasks. The group that performs the best and completes the tasks the fastest should be rewarded. For example, they can have half a day of extra rest, be given an extra piece of at, or you can gather your subordinates regularly and publicly praise the best-performing group
Despite Maximus confident explanation, in his previous life, he chose to beco a freelancer because he disliked trouble and didnt want to manage people. But in this chaotic world, he had to change his habits and learn how to work and manage people in order to ensure his own safety.
Agnes listened attentively, feeling excited. She said, Captain, these thods you ntioned are all excellent! I I will give them a try, but Im not very clever, so I may not be able to do it well!
No one is born knowing how to do everything. As long as you do your work seriously and make an effort, you will eventually succeed. Dont worry! Maximus encouraged her with empathy, because this was his experience during this ti.
Agnes gained confidence from his words and imdiately expressed her intention to implent these thods in the kitchen starting tomorrow.
Oh, and one more thing. When I saw you using the millstone to shell and grind the wheat, why didnt you use donkeys to pull the millstone continuously? Instead, you often had people pushing it, which not only wasted manpower but also reduced efficiency, Maximus pointed out.
If we let the donkeys pull the millstone all the ti, they would get exhausted. Besides, we have many people, so we take turns pushing the millstone. Its not a big deal, Agnes explained.
Indeed, diligence and frugality are deeply ingrained in the hearts of these hardworking people Maximus smiled helplessly and said loudly, Agnes, you must understand that now people are important, not donkeys! I will request Spartacus to help us acquire more donkeys so that they can do the work, and we only need one person to oversee them.
Well alright, Agnes reluctantly agreed.
Dont you feel that you have enough manpower available now? Can you allocate a group of young won to go to the dical unit, as I ntioned earlier?
Agnes thought for a mont, then said through gritted teeth: I suppose its possible.
Who do you think is suitable to lead the group among those youre going to send? Maximus asked without hesitation.
Nessia, Agnes answered promptly, referring to a young and beautiful woman who was very familiar with kitchen affairs.
Maximus nodded approvingly, imagining the image of the young and charming woman in his mind. He said, Its already late. You should go back and rest. Tomorrow, there will be a lot of work to do. After you go out, call the children in. Theyre probably about to fall asleep.
After Agnes left, Maximus looked up at the dark night outside the window and stretched lazily. Ive accomplished quite a lot tonight. Tomorrow will be a new beginning!
The next morning, after breakfast, the entire rebel army began to move camp to the farm below the mountain.
Although the distance between the two locations was short, the soldiers in each team appeared sowhat disorganized due to a lack of effective organization.
The logistics team had made prior arrangents, but they had to carry too many things, so their progress was relatively slow. As the leader, Maximus didnt just sit back and relax. He personally took the lead in helping to carry and transport things and injured soldiers, and naturally, the others did not dare to be idle. The enthusiasm of the whole team was high, and by noon, the logistics team had settled into the farm.
Following that, Frontinus set up military tents outside the farm gate with the 34 legion slaves, and Maximus led others to help.
Within two hours, all the dical teams tents were set up.
Instead of imdiately carrying the wounded soldiers inside, Maximus gathered the mbers of the dical team first.
The newly ford dical team consisted of the newly appointed leader, Putrius Horatius, and five n who were also forr Roman legion slaves. Agnes had sent 32 won from the kitchen, making a total of 38 people. The n and won gathered separately, very distinct from each other.
Seeing this situation, Maximus playfully reminded, Brothers and sisters, from now on, you have to work together. Dont stand so far apart. Everyone, co closer.
Except for Horatius, these legion slaves were relatively young and had been eyeing these won for a while. However, considering that they were newcors, they didnt dare to make any moves. Now, upon hearing Maximus words, they imdiately smiled and moved closer.
On the other hand, these won from the kitchen had often been harassed by the rebel soldiers in the past month, so they were cautious and guarded. However, since Maximus had spoken, they reluctantly made a move, which showed Maximus prestige among the logistics team.
Observing the situation, Maximus said with a serious expression, Let emphasize one thing: if both parties in our logistics team willingly engage in intimate relationships, I wont say anything. However, if a woman disagrees and a man insists forcefully, the punishnt can range from a beating to a fatal stab. So, before you make such a mistake, think carefully!
Maximus was tall and robust, and now that he was leading a team, his stern expression carried a certain authority, causing these male slaves to feel a chill in their hearts. On the other hand, the won showed smiles, realizing that their leader was truly on their side.
Maximus then turned his gaze to Horatius. This Roman veteran had a plain appearance and looked sowhat older than Frontinus, despite being younger: Horatius, you are now the leader of our dical team
Captain Maximus! Horatius hastily interjected, Dont listen to what Frontinus said. I dont know how to treat illnesses; I can only bandage wounds and take care of the injured. Im willing to work in the dical team, but the position as the leader should be given to soone skilled in dicine.
Maximus was satisfied with Horatius frank words and shook his head, saying, My requirents for the leader of the dical team are, first and foremost, genuine concern for the wounded and having the patients well-being in mind. Secondly, the ability to manage the team and command them to better take care of the patients, and handle any unexpected situations the dical team may encounter during the war. As for dical skills, whether good or not is irrelevant to being able to lead the team.
After listening, Horatius thought carefully and said, Then I can give it a try.
I have a few requirents for the dical team, Maximus went straight to the point, looking at him. First, separate the seriously wounded and those who cannot walk from the ordinary wounded and prioritize their care. Second, your dical teams camp must maintain cleanliness, with no garbage or excrent accumulation, and minimize the presence of mosquitoes and rats inside the tents. Third, use boiled water to clean wounds, and the bandages used for dressing wounds must be soaked in boiling water and dried before use. Fourth, the task of cleaning wounds and taking care of the injured will mainly be assigned to the won.
After Maximus finished speaking, the won didnt seem to mind much since most of them didnt have experience in caring for the wounded. However, a few male slaves began to discuss among themselves, Weve taken care of injured comrades before, but weve never had so many troubleso tasks.
Yeah, taking care of the wounded shouldnt involve cleaning the tents and boiling water to soak bandages Ive never heard of it!
If you want to slack off and dont want to work hard, then leave the dical team right away. Dont make a fuss here! a woman stood up and scolded loudly.
She was a 20-year-old girl with soft black long hair, slightly dark skin, captivating brown eyes, a small and straight nose, slightly thick lips, and a graceful figure.
Seeing that the woman scolding them was beautiful, the male slaves imdiately retorted unwilling to show weakness: Who are you? Do you even know how to take care of wounded soldiers?
