Chapter Ninety-Seven: Mine Promotion (4)
It was the beginning of November, and it was getting cold day by day, and after a few days of wind, another ship came to Yucheng, and brought a wide winter coat, which could be covered with hay to ward off the bitter cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
These clothes are all linen, different from the past, each one looks the same, the style is almost the same, even the hemp rope that binds the waist is the same size, the cuffs and elbows are easy to wear and tear these places are also thickened, and there is a sandwich inside to the grass.
This is the miner's shirt, one set per person, regardless of size, although some people wear it inappropriately, but it is better than nothing.
The guards and officials of Xiacheng were issued leathers, one for each person, and it is said that these were made by the dyeing and spinning workshops in Yucheng, and inside were felt made of wool extrusion, which was hard but very warm.
Like the linen shirts, each leather was about the same size, as if it had been made by a single person, and where there were knots and buttons, they were all the same.
In addition to these clothes, there are also some daily necessities, which are clearly calculated according to the number of people. From the soap for washing hair, the sugar for snacks, the white flour for making dumplings, the ginger or herbs for boiling water and drinking, and even the gray cloth bag for women's menstruation and the strap for carrying children, it is just enough.
But whether it is soap or gray cloth bags, they are all carved out of a mold, and it is no longer the time when Xia Cheng had different shapes before.
Ji Yunfa's skin was a little loose, and the woman tightened some places with a bone needle, and when she was busy, she talked a little too much, and nagged: "There are two months left before the New Year, but the quota of the previous year has to be calculated by the river, you are all piled up here, I think tomorrow let them carry it." Look at the four families, how many have they gotten over? If you want me to say, you look at how many Taobei are left in our house, exchange for some wine and meat, reward everyone, and do it quickly. ”
Ji Yun plucked out his ears and smiled: "Why don't you feel sorry for those pottery shells?" ”
"Dead, not for you? If you don't do well, Ji Xia will reprimand you again. Since I am married to you, can I not think about you? ”
The white man glanced at him, bit off the thread and handed it over: "Try it, why do you need to change it?" If you want me to say that these people in the Dyeing and Spinning Division are too stupid, they are so ugly to do anything, and they are blind to these skins. ”
"One more, just say this carrier, it's good, I'm able to work with the child on my back, the problem is that it can't be used if it's broken, I have to apply to the above, who knows when I can send a new one?"
Ji Yun took it and tried it, and scolded with a smile: "What do you know, I heard that the Dyeing and Spinning Division can make a lot of clothes in a day, which can be compared?" You spin the thread, peel it, tan it, cut it, step on the felt...... How long does it take to make this outfit? How long does it take for the dyeing and spinning division? Besides, the strap has just been issued, and it's still too early for it to break. ”
The woman retorted: "It's bad to be early, what if it burns while cooking?" If it is broken, it will be reported to the courier, and the courier will take the bad report to the Planning and Statistics Division, and the Planning and Statistics Division will approve it, and then send the wooden slip to the Dyeing and Textile Division, if the Dyeing and Textile Division has a ready-made one, it will be okay, if not, it will be the turn of next year's plan. When it is distributed, the children will go to school! ”
Ji Yun laughed, regardless of the woman's nagging, put on a leather coat and wanted to go out, and instructed before leaving: "Don't worry about the affairs of the mine, I'm not stupid, just wait and see." ”
The woman tapped him, although she didn't know what her man was going to do, but when she was in Xia Cheng, she also did a lot of things that she didn't understand, when she sold her land and house to buy weapons and slaves, she didn't agree, but she never thought that in less than half a year, the Tao Bei in exchange for more land and houses was sold.
After that, women no longer care about these things, and their status has plummeted, but they have some meaning of obedience.
The wind is getting colder day by day, and there are more and more stones piled up at the intersection, Ji Yun has not interacted with the mountain next to him since he came here, and the rest of the people only think he is stupid, and they don't care about asking, and no one knows about secretly doing a good job of climbing the plow.
One night, the woman went out to relieve her hands, and when she came back, she complained that it was snowing outside, and the firewood had not been covered, so Ji Yun quickly got up and covered the birch bark and hay that started the fire, so as not to start the fire if it got wet.
Ji Yun, who had drunk some wine, lay on the hot kang, and was about to fall asleep in a daze, and after listening to the woman's complaints, he jumped up with a swish, and ran outside without wearing any clothes.
The woman only thought that he went to cover the firewood and grass, and did not want to hear a burst of laughter outside a moment later, as if he was stupid, and did not come back overnight.
Early the next morning, the earth was covered in snow, and 300 people were about to eat as usual and prepare for work.
In the past, there was an extra salted fish on the pickles, which was steamed with fat, which was particularly fragrant. After eating, he was told that there was no need to dig today, and he pulled the climbing plough from the woods, and pulled the bark ropes that had been prepared long ago in groups of three or five.
Seven or eight miles of road, it is the limit for one person to carry 100 pounds, especially six or seven times a day.
But the same seven or eight miles of road, covered with snow, three people pulled a climbing plow, loaded with less than a thousand catties, a slightly curved arc slid on the snow, the initial stagnation, until the pressure was smooth, the operation was like flying, and the person was not too tired.
In just one day, it was transported eight times, and it was 780,000 catties. Although the rest of the mountains are transported with earthen baskets on their backs every day, 300 people have to dig 100 people, 200 people to transport, and five times a day is only 100,000 catties, and the people are tired, it is impossible to do this every day, and it is only 2 million catties in more than a month. At this rate, it will only take four or five days to catch up, and at this time there is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year.
In addition, when it snows, the ore is a little difficult to dig, and although it has not frozen, it is inevitable that the snow will have to be cleared, and the speed is even slower. And the three hundred people on Ji Yun's side dug for a month before, and they were all piled up at the intersection, and the number had already exceeded the quota requirement.
This time, the woman was completely convinced, and she scalded the wine early, and as soon as Ji Yun came back, she swept the snow off Ji Yun's body and warmed the man's hands.
"That's good, that's what you thought. Even if those people wanted to use the climbing plow, the roots of the trees would get in the way, and it would be difficult to walk. I don't think we need to dig anymore, even if we transport all the piles at the intersection, this year's quota is also overfulfilled, I'm afraid that Jue and others will really have to mention it. ”
Ji Yun roasted the fire for a while, and then said, "You blanch some more wine and get some food, I will invite those people from the mountains to come." Let them sail together on this road tomorrow. ”
The woman was stunned and couldn't help but say, "No." They usually see you laughing, you come up with a way to come up with so easily, and you are about to surprise them, why do you have to find them together? Besides, we have a lot of luck, Ji Xia remembers it in our hearts, and you Ji Yun will be ...... better than them" (To be continued.) )
