Sun Sanlang sat on the ground, gasping as he watched the roller coming over, as if he was coming towards him, and was a little frightened. It was not until the machine passed and the sound became very small that he said to his father beside him: "Dad, this monster looks so terrible! I heard from the person who was working together that a few days ago a deer turned crazy, but when the machine passed, he ran down. As a result, the machine didn't know at all, and pressed all the way, and the deer turned into a meat pie. What the man said was that all the flesh and blood were gone, and only a skin was left there."

Speaking of this, Sun Sanlang shook his body, as if he was really scared.

Grandpa Sun said slowly: "What do you know? I heard that this is called a steam engine, which burns coal. It is just used to carry roads, and the Bian River is used to pull boats. One is better than hundreds of boatmen. If not, how could so many soldiers come to us?"

Sun Sanlang said: "It's really a slight problem. How could anyone come up with such a thing? Without this machine, we can do it for a few more days."

Sun's father said leisurely: "Don't listen to people's talk. Without such a machine, we wouldn't have built such a large iron prison. We don't even have the work to build roads. I don't know how many years the coal and iron in the ground have been buried. Recently, we have to dig to make work and get money."

At this moment, Uncle Wu Liu came over and shouted: "Come here, get the money! Tonight, I prepared wine in the yamen, two white flour steamed buns for each person, and a large bowl of pork stewed tofu, so that you can eat and drink enough!"

Sun Sanlang jumped up from the ground and said to his father: "Dad, I'll go over to get the money! For this matter, we took the money back, harvested the autumn crops, bought a cow, and built a few houses after the New Year."

Grandpa Sun smiled and said, "When the house is built, I will marry you another good family."

When Sun Sanlang heard this, he was full of strength and ran quickly to Uncle Wu Liu.

The money from the yamen is paid by officials every day, without the hands of Uncle Wu Liu. What is paid now is a reward for doing a good job and having a short time. In order to receive this reward, the faster the road is built, the better. It is rare that the conscience of the yamen is, until the end of the road construction, the standards have not changed, and everyone has a share.

Seeing Sun Sanlang coming, Uncle Wu Liu said, "Call your father here, and the money will be distributed to everyone who works. And, after sending the money, there is something to say. Sanlang, our good days are coming, please take some care!"

Sun Sanlang muttered, "How can I not collect my own father's money? It's really a big deal!"

While talking, he ran back quickly and asked his father to come over to collect the money.

Uncle Wu Liu looked at Sun Sanlang and shook his head secretly. What happened to his biological father and son? It was hard to explain clearly in front of money. Although the imperial court had a rule that his grandfather would not be separated from other wealth, he also had rules such as dividing households according to family property. In the countryside, most sons would separate after they grew up. In this era, small families were actually the main ones. When the family property was divided, it was not uncommon for father and son to turn against each other because of money. Uncle Wu Liu saw it many times. The Sun family was also divided by his sons, but Sun Sanlang was the youngest and just lived with his father and son.

The working people gathered around Wu Liubu, laughing and playing, and were very happy. In two months, even the wages and rewards were all worth two cents, and they could do many major things when they went back. It was not the amount of this money, but the most important thing was to discover money, which was the most lacking for farmers who farmed.

Stepping on the money box, Uncle Wu Liu whispered: "These days, everyone in the yamen sees the good or bad work they have done. You guys work hard with me. The detention department is satisfied and reported to the yamen. After the autumn, there are other work in the Iron Supervisor. I have asked, it is nothing more than smashing ore sorting, and it is not too tired. If you are interested, come to me and continue to make money!"

This news was beyond everyone's expectations, and there was a lot of discussion. There was no other thing to do in the slack farming in the countryside. Those who were slack in the countryside did small businesses and made some money to supplement their household income. Those who didn't have the brain could only do odd jobs everywhere, and earned a penny. Working like building roads with long-term and stable work without arrears is something they could not afford.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Uncle Wu Liu smiled and said, "You go back and think about it yourself. Come to me if you are willing to do, and don't force me if you don't want to do it. It's hard for us farmers to make a penny, this is a rare opportunity."

Such a large iron supervisor, there are countless such small jobs, and they have them every day. Instead of finding a change job, it is better to set up a group of contractors and give them the work. This was decided by Du Zhongxiao before the road was built. The road construction process was also a process of screening people. The yamen screened the contractors who were satisfied, and the contractors screened the workers who were satisfied, and they would freely combine them.

After talking about his future plans, Uncle Wu Liu opened the money box, took out a booklet, and started to pay according to the name on it. When he was a child, he went to a private school for a few days and knew a few words. He didn't have enough reading and writing, so he recognized the names of people. This is amazing in the countryside. If not, how could he be a foreman? After the road was built in the past two months, he just watched and earned more money than those who built roads.

After paying the money, when I arrived at the place where I was eating, I saw white flour buns piled up there like a mountain, with a large pot of pork stewed tofu and several jars of wine next to me. Everyone cheered. When I was farming at home, who would be willing to eat such exquisite food? Even if I grow wheat at home, most families have never eaten white flour. In the whole of Ye County, there are only a few mills that can grind white flour? After all, it is a yamen, and doing things is atmospheric.

In the yamen, Du Zhongxiao and Su Song and others wrote and painted on the desk, planning the matters of the Iron Supervisor.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Don't do more in the first year. We strive to smelt 2 million kilograms of iron a month--"

Liu Qing, who was on the side, smiled and said, "The fortune judgment is set to be high. If the iron class is only 70 million kilograms today, our iron supervisor is newly opened. It costs more than 20 million kilograms a year, accounting for one-third of the world. How is it possible?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's up to man! For this iron prison, the cash allocated by the inner treasury is only 500,000 guan, which cannot reach this amount. How can we explain to the court? The fiber-pulling van army transferred here is coming one after another these days. We plan carefully and follow this number!"

After saying that, Du Zhongxiao said again: "Coal is calculated for iron smelting, based on the 2 million iron per month, and coal is no less than 5 million kilograms. This is an approximate number, which may be more or less. There is no exact number now, so let's calculate it like this first. Even if a large cart is five hundred kilograms, it will take 10,000 kilograms per month. According to the 30th of January, it will take more than 300 kilograms per day. From the coal mining place to the iron supervisor for more than 100 miles. Thirty miles a pavement, sixty miles a post is exactly two days' itinerary. Just transporting coal, we need six or seven hundred big carts. According to this number, arrange the post station horse shop on the road."

Liu Wei calculated silently and said nothing. Although Ye County is on a major transportation road, there has never been such a spectacular transportation convoy. The food and grass consumed just is a huge number, and the county cannot support it at all.

Du Zhongxiao said again: "According to the arrangement of the field management, there must be more than 10,000 people in this iron prison. All of them are counted as one person, a thousand kilograms of iron, which is too small. Therefore, in addition to smelting iron, we will continue to build furnaces and mines this year, and strive to reach 5 million kilograms per month within two or three years."

Not only Liu Wei, but also Su Song's face was not good-looking. According to Du Zhongxiao's meaning, he wanted to rely on this iron prison to double the iron production in the world, which would be too much.
