The Rise of Iceland

Vol 2 Chapter 30: Atang Paddle Head

The day after the celebration banquet, Hadar, Hagrid and others did not get up until the afternoon when they slept, and then they gathered together to go to the Hegerberg cave warehouse to select the best muskets and plate armor and other weapons, and prepare to equip them with Icelandic muskets. Soldiers, the core army.

   Thirty Icelandic Musketeers are the most trusted subordinates of Hadar and others, followed by 80 White Slave Spearmen. Naturally, Hadar and others must take good care of the Icelanders first.

  ……

On the third day when Hudik returned to Groot, the training of Icelandic Musketeers and White Slave Spearmen continued, but this time more than 100 people were wearing plate armor and equipped with the sharpest long Spear and the latest matchlock.

   The focus of this training is to march forward and pursue the enemy. Hudik is already preparing to sweep the savages in the hinterland of Vinland Island. The current training is only to further improve the coordination of the musketeers and the spearmen and the training of endurance.

   Time is most inconspicuous when it is busy, and it will always make people feel that time is like an arrow.

It has been more than ten days since the fleet returned to Wenlan. The white slaves were organized into sixty-six production teams, and then divided into labor. However, due to the large population and insufficient managers, there was a contradiction in the length of time, causing some people to continue to work. , Some people have no work to do.

  This situation became more and more serious as time progressed. It was not until a white slave in western Ireland was severely beaten and injured by a white slave in the north.

Now the population of Groot has expanded from 600 to 1,103, and the population has exceeded 1,000. This is equivalent to the population of a county in Iceland (Iceland was first ruled by sixteen Godi chiefs. Later, with the change of time, the number of leaders increased and decreased. The maximum period was 36. Large villages and towns in Iceland were formed naturally with the leader family as the core. By the beginning of the 17th century, the largest counties in Iceland were fixed at 28. , This regional division continued until after independence at the beginning of the 20th century).

Hadar has been very excited about becoming the leader of a huge population, and even a little nervous. Now there are only more than 100 Icelanders in Groot, but there are more than 600 white slaves, and the remaining less than 200 people are Savage slaves (there were more than 200, but more than 50 people died of cold in the winter), and the ranks of white slaves have grown abnormally.

It’s fine if there were no problems before. Now it is obvious that there is a problem in management. In order to better manage the white slaves and explore experience to colonize and manage more savages The six leaders of Te, Kadir, Heine, and Hoskard were invited to the home to discuss and adjust the management mode of Herut City. Ulav and Olaf also attended the meeting.

   There is no experience to learn from in Iceland, and there is no country in the history of Europa that has the same situation as Herut on Vinland Island, so Hadar and others have almost no precedent to follow.

After drinking beer and discussing for a long time, there is still no clue. Now, almost everyone except Olaf and Heine has expressed their opinions. Hadar always knew that Heine had a good head and was a high-achieving student who had gone to university in London, so he asked He expressed his opinion.

Heine has been thinking about this problem all the time. He has no political experience, but he has been a Scottish nobleman for generations. There were also a lot of manor land in his family, and he has some experience for the managers, but their family used to manage the civilians in Scotland. How to manage the society of Icelanders, white slaves, and savage slaves in the city of Hrut still can't think of a very good way.

But when Hadar asked, Heine couldn’t help but cough a little and said his immature thoughts: "Uncle Hadar! Now there are more than 600 people living in the city of Groot, and various problems have been constant. As for the contradictions and the problems that arise in production and life, I feel that more than half of them can actually be avoided after observation. The problem is that we have too few managers."

"We don’t have a real mechanism for managing more than a thousand people in Groot. Except you are the lord of the city. My father-in-law, Uncle Hoskurd, Yot, and Hudik are in charge, and there is no one to manage white slaves anymore. Although the status of Icelanders is higher than that of white slaves, they do not have the status and right to manage white slaves. Therefore, in order to better manage white slaves, we formed a production team of more than ten people and appointed a white slave captain. Then Uncle Yot and I, Uncle Hoskard and everyone only need to manage the sixteen white slave production team captains. This method is very effective. It really facilitated us before and made the white slaves more efficient. A lot...

   But the problem is that the number of white slaves has now reached 600. After removing the 20 children who cannot work, the current production team has increased to fifty-two.

There are 52 production teams in 52 production teams, and there are 14 production teams in 52 teams, but we have to deal with many things with five or six managers. The ability and knowledge of more than ten team leaders is limited and it is not good to manage the team. .

   While we are managing more than ten captains, we also have to manage more than fifty teams. This is too much effort, so it is almost impossible to effectively use all the production teams in place! "

   "Yes! Heine is right!"

  Yote's wrinkles on his forehead seemed to deepen, frowning and said: "Moreover, the fifty-two production team captains want to do relatively more leisurely and comfortable work, so they will compete for positions and various tasks.

For example, fishing and hunting, logging, and quarrying, they all want to hunt, most to log, no one wants to do the most tiring quarrying, and the team leader can’t control even the same ideas as the team leader, so conflicts will arise. ..."

   Due to Heine and Yotte’s analysis, the situation became clearer and clearer. Hadar twisted the knotted beard under his left cheek with his fingers and asked, “How can these problems be solved?”

   Everyone started to think hard, hoping to find a way.

Heine said: "I don't have the best way, but in order to reduce the contradictions seen by the white slave production team, we must allocate all the work reasonably ~www.wuxiahere.com~ so that every production team can be easily assigned. Hard work and hard work.

   This is enough for rotation. At the same time, in order to better manage the white slave production team, we have to set up an organization above the production team and increase the number of people who manage the white slave production team. Such people must have a certain culture and mind. "

   "This idea is very good! I think it can be!" Hagrid patted his head, feeling that he could not think of Heine's idea anyway, so he nodded in agreement.

   Olaf is also listening to everyone's opinions, because he has no management experience in his previous life. Even if he has some ideas in his mind, he must be measured and confirmed according to everyone's words, and he will talk about it when he is ready to mature.

   Hoskard and Kadir also agreed with Heine's opinion. Hadar agreed on the spot. After discussion, everyone decided to emulate the "Atang" established when the Vikings managed England, Scotland, Norway, and Denmark.

   A leader was set up above the white slave production team as the "Oar Head" to manage the "Atang" composed of two production teams.

   If such a reorganization, six hundred white slaves would have seven Atangs composed of 14 production teams, and then seven Icelanders would serve as Atang’s "paddle heads" to manage them.

Note: Atang: means one-fourth of a village and the smallest living area. It can be regarded as a term used to express residential groups by land area. In the early Middle Ages, the Vikings plundered countries and were the main Viking pirates when they crossed the North Sea. As a part of combat power, the Vikings who own 1 Atang land can master a piece of oars, become members of the Viking long ship, and go on expedition with the ship. After the robbery, they enjoy a complete trophy and are respected by others. Refers to the smallest administrative area among the Viking pirates-managing the Viking pirates own land and serfs, and the oar head is also the meaning of the master of Atang.
