Average lifespan is a very interesting statistic.
For example, in the current Kingdom of Spain, the average lifespan of a mortal is 36 years old - excluding extraordinary people. After all, these 'lucky ones' are specific cases outside the sampling group, and the statistical weight impact should be ignored.
Don’t count.
For example, if the nobles of various feudal territories did not 'die violently' in all kinds of strange family fights, according to the quality of life of the nobles, it would be very easy to live to about 50 years old - and then it would be easy for them to suffer from difficult-to-treat underlying diseases.
Disease, physical fitness gradually weakens, and death occurs.
As for the majority of people: small handicraftsmen, homesteaders, tenant farmers, slaves. Although they all have sufficient (or excessive) physical labor, after all, due to material scarcity and unhealthy living environment, most people gradually lose weight around the age of 30.
He began to suffer from physical weakness and underlying diseases, and died within a few years.
Alas, can it be regarded as the end of life? "If you live poorly, you will die earlier", that's all.
Well, in this social environment where the average life expectancy is 36 years old, the actual age range of the labor force is as low as 8 years old, which is obviously cruel and normal.
Chuyang's visits and investigations inside and outside Gusi City gave him a certain understanding of the division of labor among people of different age groups in his territory.
Well, good thing.
The efficiency of administrative management is a kind of [two-way rush]:
The bottom level is in ruins, and no matter how conscientious the leader is, he can't help but "not move".
If the leader is an idiot, no matter how enthusiastic the bottom class is, they will still end up doing "double the result with twice the result".
If Chu Yang did not choose to investigate in person, but asked the housekeeper to "just figure it out", the loyal and dedicated housekeeper would really just "just figure it out"!
A group of strong laborers are directly randomly selected from inside and outside the city and asked to work for the lord. The castle pays you wages. This is called paid recruitment.
What? How did it affect your original working time period?
The loyal butler said: It’s none of my business!
Get me your wages! Hurry up and help the cook! Don’t be ignorant! Do you understand the lord’s will?
The devil spreads his hands.jpg
Li Jia Shu was good at tempting (er, should I say 'tempting'?) the young lord personally to visit and investigate the people, hoping that Chu Yang would understand that decisions made casually often lead to serious [loss of productivity and waste].
Even if you want to exploit, you have to exploit it efficiently!
Try not to affect the efficiency of private production activities, and squeeze out the blood from the sponge accurately, sustainably, and reasonably!
Through the ‘visit investigation notes’ written by Chu Yang, the devil learned the following:
[Main labor force inside and outside Gusi City] Age range: 8 to 35 years old. (Referring to the above, the average life span is 36 years old. After the age of 30, most civilians gradually begin to lose their physical fitness and slowly lose physical labor.
ability)
According to the daily workload of the main labor force, it can be further [stratified] as: 8 years old-15 years old; 15 years old-30 years old; 30 years old-35 years old.
It is obvious that regardless of whether inside or outside the city, the strong labor force between the ages of 15 and 30 is the largest production capacity subject in the "pie chart data" in Gusi City's daily production activities.
The other two age groups need to be discussed separately [inside the city] and [outside the city].
In rural areas outside the city, people between the ages of 30 and 35 are no longer responsible for heavy manual labor such as farming, harvesting fields, clearing pastures, shearing sheep, processing cotton and linen, etc. due to their gradual weakening of physical fitness. This is done by younger people.
Strong laborers are responsible for the work, and the "old and infirm" occasionally lend a hand to guide the farm work - they have transformed into the "production terminal" in the countryside, taking on the "circulation" and "management" of agricultural products.
These tasks are basically done by ‘older’ farmers!
There are many tricks in the city, so you can't let a teenage boy go to the market to sell the village's agricultural products, right? You'll be tricked out of your bones!
Most of the people who go to the market are old farmers. But sometimes young people are also brought along, so that the "silly young people" can follow the old farmers to gain experience in the market to avoid suffering losses in the future.
By the way, if it involves large orders from overseas merchants, such as "more than a dozen cows, dozens of sheep, and hundreds of boxes of eggs," this huge amount of 'foreign trade' will be added by the old village chief.
The two tax officials of Gusi City are responsible for contacting maritime merchants - big business, only those in the city and outside the city can handle it. Most people have no background, and the castle will not endorse it!
In short, physical weakness does not mean complete loss of working ability. On this point, the situation [outside the city] and [inside the city] are similar.
In Gusi City, although the old craftsmen between the ages of 30 and 35 are physically weak and their production efficiency has declined,
But they also undertake the 'guidance and training' of new craftsmen and the 'business management' of the craftsmen's guild, these two maintenance functions that are 'vital' to the handicraft industry in Gusi City.
Obviously, no matter [inside the city] or [outside the city], these people between the ages of 30 and 35 are not suitable for "drawing strong men"! Once they are touched, the already fragile small-scale peasant economy of Gusi City will be destroyed.
The handicraft economy will all be affected!
As for the strong laborers between the ages of 15 and 30, the small number of 'idle workers' that originally existed in this group have already been recruited by a certain contractor (demon) boss to work as handymen and laborers at the construction site.
.The rest of the people aged between 15 and 30 are all diligent and good citizens - they are the main production capacity in daily production activities on this land.
Since the lord wants to protect the economy, the only option left is...
This group of people aged 8-15 years old.
Well, it’s cruel and normal. In ancient society with an average life span of 36 years, there was always a simple rule:
When a person is able to work, he must work, otherwise he will starve to death.
You can work as an apprentice, wash chimneys, collect cow dung and sell it for money, or help your parents with farm work.
The material base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure reacts on the material base.
In Gusi City, no one would think——
——“It’s definitely weird to ask people under 15 years old to work for a few hours a day!?”
Chuyang, who is now 15 years old, naturally thinks: [This matter is ordinary].
Age? Gender? Ethnicity? None of these are excuses or problems!
As long as it is a labor force of appropriate age, the lord is willing to use it and dares to use it!
Of course,
The devil is very concerned about this!
Well, it’s not that Li Jia Shu was opposed to Chu Yang doing this...
The devil's point of view is:
We must seek truth from facts and proceed from the actual situation in Gusi City.
Revise your thinking,
Optimize three-point efficiency,
Improved design——
——'Gusi City's characteristic feudalism big pot rice'.
"We can use *workers aged 8-15 years old! But not only must they be paid, they must also be given [meal tickets]!"
"You can go to the [Group Canteen] (under construction) to exchange for meal tickets!"
