Laizhou.

The donkey carts stopped, and the Texans shouted to drive the homeless people out of the cars and lined up. He reported the situation to several officials in Laizhou: "This batch has brought a total of 130 artisan households and 576 people, and all of them have been brought now, and the next batch will arrive in ...... two days."

Huang Dingmao stood in the crowd with his family, looked at it, and saw that the Laizhou official in front of him seemed to be dressed differently. He didn't dare to look more, and he stole a few glances before he found out...... It turned out that the sleeves were different, and the sleeves of the official uniforms here in Shandong were not wide sleeves, but narrow sleeves, which looked neat and capable than the official masters I had seen before.

I only heard that the governor of Nalai said to the Texas gang again: "You guys rest for a day, and tomorrow a batch of weapons will be shipped to Texas ......."

Someone over there led the craftsmen to an open field. After a while, several more officials came up, holding a roster, and shouted, "Call the names out of the list." The carpenter came first, and when his name was called, he stood here, and someone took you to the shipyard, you know? Wang Dafu ......"

After calling twenty households in a row, it was the blacksmith's turn.

Huang Dingmao listened with his ears propped up, and when he heard his name called, he hurriedly responded and led the family out of the ranks.

There were fifteen blacksmiths in all, and after all of them were counted, they were led by men.

All the way through, I saw huge houses everywhere, most of them were stone and mud walls, and few wooden walls, but they still emitted a buzzing sound from them, and they were very lively.

Huang Dingmao had never seen such a big house in his life, his eyes widened and he was amazed.

After a while, when he entered an area, Huang Dingmao knew that it was the sound of dissolving iron and striking iron, and thought that this was where he would work in the future.

But how can you pull people over and continue to strike iron without asking?

He wanted to take a look at these big workshops. The official who led him kept his feet on his feet, bypassing the great workshop and leading them to a row of houses in the back.

"Are you going to divide the room?" Someone whispered.

Huang Dingmao couldn't believe it, how could there be such a good thing, but he couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.

Then the official pointed to a house and said, "He Dazhuang, your family lives here." ”

Fifteen families were excited.

"I really have to divide the room."

Huang Dingmao stood on tiptoe, looking forward to it.

Finally, the official pointed to a room and shouted, "Huang Dingmao, your family lives here." ”

Huang Dingmao was a thriller and took the family into the house.

The house is actually very small and has no yard. But it's the first time in Huang Dingmao's life that such a small house can be divided into five parts, and their family of four can barely live in two rooms.

Only then did he put down his salute and looked around, and then another clerk came in one by one to distribute things.

Each person was given a small sign that read "Tie Sifang".

There are also a few tickets with "bath notes" written on them, saying that they were used to come to the bathhouse to take a bath.

The official solemnly explained: "Remember, men can only go to the men's bathhouse, and women can only go to the women's bathhouse. ”

"The little ones don't dare to run around."

Next up are some household utensils.

At the end of the day, a few tickets called 'food receipts' were also distributed.

"You'll have to collect this food."

"Official, what is this?"

"Here, the grain is uniformly allocated, how much grain do you eat every month, if you have money, you have to have food stamps, if you want food stamps, you can only earn them by working, understand?"

"Understood, I'm very capable of working!" Huang Dingmao nodded heavily.

The clerk said, "No matter how good you can work, it is useless, one person cannot earn food stamps for four people." There are no idlers here, and your family has to work. ”

"Then what can my mother-in-law do?"

"Someone will arrange it later." The clerk said, his eyes swept over Huang Xiaohua and Huang Xiaomu, and asked, "You two babies, how old are you?" ”

"My daughter is seventeen, and my son is sixteen."

"Literate?"

"My son can read a few words, not much."

"It's a pity, if you are two years younger, you can be sent to a school to study, and you will have a great chance after giving food and housing."

The clerk shook his head as he spoke, stood up, and explained, "Prepare yourself, and work in the workshop in a quarter of an hour." ”

"Start today?"

"There are no idlers here."

"Yes, yes." Huang Dingmao nodded hurriedly and asked again: "My son Xiaomu, can you be a helper for me, is it also a job?" ”

"When I arrived at the factory, the production captain looked at the craftsmanship and then talked about it."

"Okay." Huang Dingmao is still confident in his craft.

Immediately afterwards, there was another team of stewards outside, and there were men and women.

"Come out. After the work is divided, if you want to eat well, you can pick a good job as soon as possible. ”

Huang Dingmao's family went out, and they heard He Dazhuang bragging to his mother-in-law: "There is a shortage of blacksmiths here, and you have been blessed by me." Waiting for other homeless people to come over is not as good as you......"

Over there, more than a dozen men and women stood in separate rows, shouting one after the other without hurry.

"The weaver is here."

"Those who can sew armor stand here......"

The two managers standing at the end did not shout, but stood with their hands behind their backs, which seemed to mean that they would take over the people who knew nothing.

Huang Dingmao only looked at it, and saw that a few female stewards were also majestic, and couldn't help but whisper to his mother-in-law Niu Juan: "It's good that you get to this point one day." ”

Niu Juan was stunned and didn't have the time to gossip with him. After thinking about it, he pulled Huang Xiaohua to the team that sewed armor over there.

Huang Xiaomu pulled Huang Dingmao and asked, "Dad, why do you say they don't recruit soldiers?" ”

He Dazhuang listened to it on the side, and replied proudly: "Of course there is conscription, and it will be conscripted in Texas." But we didn't ask for it, which means that our craftsmen are in short supply. ”

Huang Xiaomu was a little regretful, he didn't really want to be a sought-after craftsman, his mind was full of cavalry teams galloping by on the official road that day in the past two days.

Huang Dingmao patted Huang Xiaomu on the head and taught him a lesson: "Don't think about those useless ones, inherit your father's craftsmanship well." ”

Then I suddenly saw another group of people walking in, this group of people was quite old, and there was a little girl in white, and more than a dozen stewards over there turned their heads and shouted, "Miss Xi'er, you are here too, where is Dr. Song?" ”

"Brother Song doesn't have time to come over, Uncle Zhao, our ambulance team has to recruit another 300 people......"

"So much? Wait for the next batch of homeless people to come, right? This batch was sent first by craftsmen and small families. But Miss Xi'er wants someone, you pick ...... first"

The little girl named Xi'er nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Zhao." ”

The manager surnamed Zhao then shouted: "Do you want to go to the ambulance team?" Food, wages and wages are twice as much as ordinary work, and when they learn to ambulance, they will still have a good house...... But you have to think clearly, maybe you will get to the battlefield in the future. ”

The homeless people whispered one after another, they had just arrived, and they didn't understand it in their heads, and they didn't have any ideas.

Someone whispered, "Can a woman go too?" ”

"Yes." Xi'er responded, "As long as you can do things, there is no distinction between men and women here, and everyone is treated equally." ”

When Huang Dingmao heard that he was going to the battlefield, he didn't think there was anything good about this ambulance team, so he slapped his big hand and pressed on Huang Xiaozi's shoulder to prevent him from moving.

However, I saw Huang Xiaohua running out and asking, "Can I go?" I don't...... Illiterate. ”

"Yes."

Huang Dingmao was in a hurry, and was about to go up to stop him, but the steward of the iron factory over there had already arrived.

"The blacksmith comes with me, don't bother."

The steward of the iron factory acted in a hurry, wiping his sweat while walking with a square towel in his hand, walking very fast, shouting as he walked: "Hurry up, don't miss this month's work......"

Huang Dingmao and the others were led by this steward to the iron factory, and when he turned around, he saw that his daughter Huang Xiaohua was already standing behind the Xi'er girl.

The road from the house to the factory is also clean and tidy, and from time to time I see officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth, and the garrison is strict, Huang Dingmao does not dare to say more, and honestly enters the factory.

Then someone came to test their craft, and then assigned them to work under a foreman.

Huang Dingmao and a team of five people, their foreman was named Jiang Dazhuang, took out a hollow small iron pillar, and took out a mold for them to try twice.

"How many of these pipes can you cast a day?"

"Three." Someone answered.

Someone else responded, "Four." ”

Huang Dingmao thought to himself, he sold some strength, and it should be okay to cast five a day, but he didn't want to be in the limelight, so he didn't care if he lowered his head.

"Every one of them will be inspected, and those who are not qualified will be punished. But the more we do, the better, the more wages and food we have, you know? ”

……

It was already evening, and Huang Dingmao thought that the first day of work was just to get acquainted. Unexpectedly, he was pressed there and worked until night, which made him tired.

But fortunately, I was in charge of the food here, and I was quite full of food, and each person was given a piece of meat.

In Huang Dingmao's view, such a full day, it is hard to be afraid that the tiredness is the same as the gods.

When he worked until Hai, Huang Dingmao and Huang Xiaomu together cast a gun pipe and handed it to Jiang Dazhuang. Jiang Dazhuang was very satisfied with him and took notes. He also explained to him: "This is your performance this month. ”

Huang Dingmao doesn't understand what performance is, but anyway, the more you do, the more you get.

When the bell rang outside, Jiang Dazhuang gathered these newcomers again and explained: "You should go back to your own workshop after finishing your work, don't run around." Running around will be caught and killed as a tenant......"

Huang Dingmao's neck shrank again, and he made up his mind not to go anywhere.

"Go back, rest for five hours, and come back tomorrow to work." Arrived on time, there were steamed buns to eat......"

Huang Dingmao and his son returned to their new home, only to see Niu Juan and Huang Xiaohua also come back. They didn't dare to ask their neighbors to visit their homes, so the family got together and chattered about what they had seen today.

Niu Juan rubbed her eyes and said: "I have been sitting there sewing armor, sewing constantly, and in the evening I divided a bowl of dry rice, two dishes, the last time I ate dry rice was the year before last......

She didn't know anything more.

Huang Xiaohua kept talking.

"Father, mother, do you know? The ambulance team is the best job here, they taught me to read and write, look, this is one, and the word 'one' in other places is different, simpler, the two words are not the same, I have to learn to catch medicine. I still have to learn first aid...... said that it would be assessed in half a month, if I could pass the exam, I would have clothes, and there would be food and silver to supply you every month, Miss Xi'er said, let our father and mother raise a daughter and not lose to the boy......"

Huang Dingmao finally couldn't help it and scolded: "Shut up." Do you know why there are so many benefits? I'm going to kill you in the future, stupid baby. ”

"How can it be so dangerous, we will go up to save people after the battle. Back again, I'm also a female doctor......"

"Doctor's fart, just like ours, can you get a doctor?"

Huang Xiaomu didn't listen to his father and sister quarreling, he turned his head and looked out through the crack in the window, in the moonlight, every moment he could see a team of ten officers and soldiers patrolling by, wearing black armor and red scarves, and kicking on official boots, looking majestic.

In Huang Xiaomu's eyes, the people in the iron factory always look so columsy compared to these officers and soldiers.

After a while, Huang Dingmao said again: "There are only two rooms, and I sleep with Xiaomu." Xiaomu, you sleep with Xiaohua. I'll tell you, Ming'er, you will change Lao Tzu's job. ”

Huang Xiaohua said: "Then you will become a deserter and you will be killed." ”

"Kill you." Huang Dingmao didn't dare to be fierce outside, but he still dared to be fierce at home, glared at Huang Xiaohua, turned around and went back to the house.

Huang Xiaohua hugged Niu Juan, turned her head to look around, and muttered, "It's good to have tiles to cover your head." ”

"That's right," her eyes lit up, and she said: "The biggest officer of our ambulance team is a doctor, his status is very high, everyone in the city knows his name, Song Wenhua Song Dafu, he is only about the same age as Xiaomu, and at this age, he has already saved thousands of people......"

Huang Xiaomu lowered his head, fantasizing in his mind what it would be like to save thousands of people.

But after thinking about it, when he woke up the next day, he could only follow his father to strike iron.

Huang Dingmao is a blacksmith with perfect skills, and Jiang Dazhuang specially equipped him with a man to push the bellows.

The man's name was Lin Abu, with a strong figure and thick arms, and he was indeed a good hand at pushing bellows.

In the whirring flames, Huang Dingmao was very satisfied with Lin Abu, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his arm, and exclaimed: "Brother, you have the strength to do it." ”

Lin Abu's expression was not good, he just raised his eyes and looked at Huang Dingmao, who looked a little fierce.

Jiang Dazhuang happened to pass by and said: "Huang Dingmao, I have the best bellows hand for you, people are a little stupid, but their strength is not small." ”

Lin Abu lowered his head, his hand kept pushing and pulling the bellows, and his heart was full of anger.

- Damn, Lao Tzu is the master of Niu Lu in the Qing Dynasty, and your master Ablin knows? Sooner or later, I'll kill you.

……

In this part of Jiaodong, it is really difficult to find out the situation. Fu Qingzhu, Wang Zhu and others have been operating here for two years according to Wang Xiao's plan. In addition, when it is currently under wartime control, the most important thing in Laizhou is production, production, production.

Laizhou is not a place where you can stay if you have money, you have to have food to eat, and if you don't work, you can't have food. Moreover, the officers and soldiers in the city are checking every day to maintain law and order, and it is impossible to eat.

The spies infiltrated and if they didn't work, they would either starve to death or be caught. But once I started working, I had to work every day except sleeping, and I didn't give time to inquire about the situation at all.

Ablin was also selected by Huang Taiji when he was alive, and later took refuge in Bumu Butai. After training, he grew his hair early, and he was fluent in Chinese, and he couldn't tell that he was a Manchu in the Chu Dynasty.

He goes by the pseudonym Lin Abu and has been here for more than two months. At the end of last year, Wang Xiao came to Laizhou, and he followed him as a homeless person. He was first assigned to the shipyard, tried to escape once, was captured by the officers and soldiers, and then assigned to the iron factory.

- Alas, I had been working for more than a month at that time, and if I had stayed up for another two months, I would have been able to get an official household registration......

It was noon until noon, and I only heard a commotion outside the factory.

"The iron stone has been delivered." Someone shouted.

I saw wheelbarrows carrying iron and stone in the process.

Jiang Dazhuang commanded his subordinates to go over to help, and Huang Dingmao, Huang Xiaomu, and Lin Abu were also among them.

"This iron and stone was bought from North Korea, and it is full of a large shipload of ......," someone whispered.

Lin Abu wrote down this information.

He could only find out this information, such as Laizhou built a lot of big ships, and he also personally participated in shipbuilding; For example, there are often ships that bring corn and sweet potatoes back from outside, and the taste is average, not as delicious as Shengjing's hazelnuts; By the way, there is also an important piece of information, there are so many children of the Qin family in Laizhou City, and they are all nosy, alas......

Thinking of these things, he carried a large iron stone and put it away, and when he looked at it, he saw Huang Xiaomu holding a piece of iron and stone, looking very hard.

- Oh, young people are competitive, and they still have to hug if they can't hold it.

Lin Abu thought in his heart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck, and when he passed by Huang Xiaomu, he stumbled under his feet.

With a "bang", the iron stone smashed on the ground.

"Ahh Huang Xiaomu screamed and fell to the ground, his chin was bloody, and half of his arm was dangling on his shoulder.

"Little Wood ......"

Lin Abu pretended to be panicked, picked up Huang Xiaomu on his back, and shouted, "Quick! I'll take him to the doctor......"

He ran to the outside of the factory, met a group of officers and soldiers, and asked, "Where is the doctor?" ”

The officer and soldier raised his head and pointed at the faster Lin Abu's feet, but he bypassed an alley and threw away Huang Dingmao, who was chasing after him.

He was not in a hurry to send Huang Xiaomu to treatment, but instead looked around to observe the road conditions.

I have been here for more than three months, and I have not had a few opportunities to leave the workshop.

Today he decided to find out the route of his mother's Laizhou Mansion first, what if Wang Xiao came to Laizhou in the future?

"Damn."

When I rushed out of the door, I saw that the scene outside was different from what I saw when I ran out last month, and the factory was built in the originally empty place, and the road had changed greatly.

Lin Abu looked around and couldn't find the way, so he ran in the direction of the city, and when he met the officers and soldiers along the way, he shouted: "Where is the doctor?" ”

With all his strength, he was about to rush into the inner city, and when he looked, he saw several officials talking on the side of the road.

- There is intelligence! Lin Abu was overjoyed in his heart, deliberately slowed down his pace, and walked in the direction of those officials.

He didn't dare to get too close, and lowered his head to listen to the other party.

"Why hasn't Lord He come yet?"

"Maybe the goods haven't been unloaded yet."

"Speaking of which, Lord He didn't go to Jinan this time, but stayed in Laizhou, isn't Guogong coming?"

"I heard that Guogong intends to let Lord He be the chief soldier of the water division......"

Lin Abu thought to himself, Wang Xiao is coming?!

On second thought, what's the use? I can't catch Wang Xiao.

What the fuck.

The next moment, a group of officers and soldiers rushed out, surrounded him, and shouted: "What person?!" Stealthy. ”

"Official, little one...... The little one is going to send this little brother to the hospital......"

"Show me the household registration certificate!"

~~

Huang Xiaohua is learning to stop bleeding.

There are ten people in her team, and she is the most untalented one, and she has been taught several times by her husband.

The gentleman is a middle-aged woman, and she looks very old-fashioned.

Huang Xiaohua finally learned to tie the bandage, turned her head to look out the window, and saw Song Wenhua taking more than 20 teenagers outside to identify medicinal materials.

Those teenagers were trained as doctors, both men and women, and they were all selected talented and literate people. An illiterate and too smart person like Huang Xiaohua was not selected, so he could only learn to ambulance.

She still envies those people in her heart, but she can't help this kind of thing.

- Why does Heaven want people to be born with high and low talents?

Suddenly, someone outside the gate shouted, "Is there a doctor?" ”

Then I saw a strong man rushing in with a young man on his back.

"Doctor...... Quick, save him......"

~~

Song Wenhua is leading a group of students to teach medical skills.

He thought that his medical skills were not very good, but at that time, he used acupuncture and blood to cure the plague, and he became famous, and there were many people who were willing to study medicine with him.

Since ancient times, the skills of doctors have been cherished. However, Wang Xiao proposed the idea of building a medical school the last time he came to Laizhou, so Song Wenhua began to teach medical skills to others without reservation......

At this time, someone rushed in to seek medical treatment, and he was slightly puzzled, but he immediately stepped forward to investigate the injured person's injuries.

"What's going on?"

"I fell and injured myself while moving iron and stone, doctor, how is he?"

Song Wenhua frowned and turned his head to look at the big man who came over.

Lin Abu's expression was a little flustered, and he asked again, "...... him Will he still be saved? ”

"The injuries are not serious. Just knocked his chin and dislocated. Song Wenhua groaned: "Moving iron and stone? There's a doctor over there, why did you send it here? ”

"Small...... Small...... Panic ......"

Song Wenhua nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Move him in and let the newcomers of the ambulance team try their hand." ”

Saying that, Wen Yan said to Huang Xiaomu: "Don't worry, it's just a small injury......

Over there, Lin Abu looked back and saw a group of officers and soldiers guarding the door of the medical school, and cold sweat flowed down his head.

He didn't want to waste this day's efforts, looked around, thought about it, gritted his teeth and pulled Song Wenhua's sleeve, and the person knelt down.

"Doctor...... Can the little one also study medicine with you? ”

Song Wenhua was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”

"Small...... The little one has been determined to save lives since he was a child, and the little one is literate, by the way, you look at the small one's household registration, the little one has been here for almost three months, working hard, you see that I still have an evaluation. ”

Song Wenhua looked down and saw that the strong man in front of him was muscular. sighed: "But, if you study medicine with me, won't it be in vain for you to spend your flesh?" The so-called people make the best use of their talents......"
