On the Weishui River, fifty ships of 100 stones lined up in a row.

On the shore, a springboard was set up where there were no wheels, and boxes of dried sea rice, shrimp, dried scallops, and shrimp paste were sent to the boat.

When one is filled, one leaves, and goes down the Weishui to the Yellow River, and then goes against the current to the source.

At this time, at the place of Pujindu, the iron cable pontoon bridge is connected to both banks, and the boat is supporting under the pontoon.

At a fixed time each day, the middle rope is opened to allow boats to pass through the river.

The Hukou Waterfall further up is already getting on and off the boat, and it turns out that the boats upstream of the waterfall are pouring a short distance to the top.

When I heard that the waterfall could be passed, I brought some souvenirs to the location and rowed to the location and asked for the price.

Depending on the size of the ship and the cargo loaded, the price varies.

The cheapest boat is sent over, only ten dollars, more than ten miles of travel, on the track, the livestock are pulled to the other end, and then put down.

Even if you make a small raft by yourself and want to go over, it is still ten yuan, and it can't be lower.

The workers were hired locally to help pull the gourds, and they counted on the waterfall to eat.

Add to that the money for livestock, and if there are no boats to and fro, no one wants to do it.

"I heard that the imperial court sent a fleet to go to it, but I don't know if I will give money or not."

Staying at the bottom of Hukou Waterfall, a man wearing a hat looked at the river rolling south and said to others.

"Xu wants to give money, and if he says that no matter what kind of ship he is, we will be paid for the work."

The man who was busy weaving the basket of oil trees did not look at the basket, but put the branches into it by feeling.

"A hundred stone ships, one for a hundred dollars, a hundred boats, everyone to share a point, but a lot."

Another boy who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old had an expectant look on his face.

He had a newspaper in his hand, the newspaper was early, with Hanyu Pinyin on it, and he was studying.

When Hukou Waterfall is impassable, the locals plant a few acres of thin fields on the mountain or by the riverbank, and there are mulberry trees on the mountain to raise silkworms.

The boy was a sheep herder, and the days passed day by day, and he went down to the river to catch fish and shrimp like other children.

When Hukou Waterfall is equipped and there is work to do, you can make more money.

The locals had an idea, and the teenager began to learn pinyin and read books.

Each letter is asked by the illiterate person who occasionally passes by, and he struggles to remember how to read it, and then spells it himself.

Sometimes I forget, or I feel that my pronunciation is not accurate enough, I can find time to go to the county yamen.

Many of the people in the yamen were literate, and when they asked for advice, they patiently taught them.

If you are impatient, you can't do it, the people take the initiative to ask for progress, the officials of the yamen ignore it, and the evaluation is over.

"Once it is officially navigated, it is necessary to hand over a sum of money to the Li family Zhuangzi every month, and when the official ship arrives, it will naturally be officially navigated."

The person who wears the hat punctures the illusion of the teenager, and if he has a lot of money, he will not share it all for himself and others.

The place where the waterfall is located, and the people of the county sit in the town and keep accounts.

Now it is settled every day, and when everyone has more money, it will be replaced by a monthly settlement.

The reason for the end of the day is that in the winter everyone has little income and needs money.

If you buy some rice with the money you give a day, you don't have to mix so much bran and bran to eat.

There is also a benefit to the beginning of spring, there are wild vegetables, cooking wild vegetables with rice, supplementing vitamins or something, the people don't understand, anyway, they can be hungry.

The helpers all agreed that they would save the money except for what they had to spend that day, regardless of whether it was a daily or monthly payment.

This is stronger than some parts of Africa at that time of Li Yi, who usually did not dare to settle the day, and after the settlement was completed on the same day, people would go to chic with the money on the same day, and they would not come to work the next day.

When the money is gone, when will it come again.

The monthly settlement is actually about the same, so many enterprises in Li Yi's country would rather spend more money and hire people from China to work in the past.

In particular, the work is not to be delayed, and the local people are basically only responsible for simple tasks.

There are local motivated people who will follow suit, and the proportion of such people is very small.

Li Yiguo, or including the current Tang Dynasty, is the most diligent nation in the world, and there is no one who is not ranked with others.

"Give the Li family Zhuangzi should, with the Li family Zhuangzi behind us, we can feel at ease.

Take advantage of the lack of work, go to pick wild vegetables, wash them and throw them in the pot, and eat at noon. ”

The basket weaver put down the basket he had just made and took the lead in looking for wild vegetables.

On the shore of the waterfall, there is a large iron pot at each end, and coal or firewood is burned underneath.

The water in the pot is well water, and if you don't drink the water of the Yellow River, there is too much sand.

The two pots belong to the imperial court, and now it is the subsidy stage, and after that, the tugboat will be taken out of part of the money deducted to the Li family Zhuangzi.

Early this morning, the person in charge bought two old hens from a nearby village that laid few eggs and stewed one in a pot.

The people who work and the people who come to drink the free soup in the neighborhood will pick wild vegetables and put them in.

The chickens are chopped and thrown into stew, and the old hen is fat, and the soup can be drunk.

Bring your own food and eat it with soup and free pickles.

There is no need for others to remind you that you should pick wild vegetables, so you take the initiative to pick them yourself.

It belongs to the characteristics of the nation, and ordinary people cannot learn it.

……

"Who introduced Ke Guang?" Bi Gou is also drinking soup, ginseng whisker soup, ginseng whisker and ginger shreds.

In the summer, he said that it was a little cold to sleep at night, and he felt cold and shivering in the sun during the day.

Give him a little soup, mainly ginger to keep the chill out.

Otherwise, in his condition, he will have diarrhea in the sun.

He asked his subordinates at this moment, and he began to rectify the noodle industry in Tobe.

Thirty noodle-making people were specially called to come in and inquire individually, and they asked for a complete arrangement and someone to find them.

"The person who is sponsored by Xie Xin in the Duzhilang." The office clerk gives the answer.

"Deduct 300 yuan from him and tell him that if Ke Guang is stealing noodles and going home, his Langzhong will stop doing it." Bi Gou said with a calm face.

"Yes."

"Whose person is Hou Li?" Bi Gou asked another.

He asked one by one, what should be deducted, what should be adjusted.

He was angry, and sure enough, as Li Yi said, as long as the people who worked were introduced, none of them hurried.

Deliberately put more water in the dough and then pour it out.

Also, when making noodles, the so-called leftovers are collected and thrown away.

In fact, the poured water was put into a bucket and taken away, as well as the leftovers.

The water goes back, puts it in the pot and boils, and the noodles come out, and you can scoop it up and steam the dough in the pot.

There are even people who take whole wheat flour from outside and replace it directly with some of the noodle flour.

Bi Gou is about to cry, no wonder his cost is high, who can afford to play like this!

"When everything is cleaned up, immediately do what Xiao Yi said, send noodles to every household, and help people work.

Anyone who doesn't do a good job will be dismissed, Chang'an is not short of this manpower, and my household department can't let people see jokes. ”

Bi Gou gritted his teeth and made up his mind, picked up the bowl, and grunted.

After drinking a bowl of soup, he clicked his mouth, and the aftertaste of ginseng was actually a little sweet.
