Chapter Ninety-Eight: Mine Promotion (End)

Ji Yun waved his hand and said, "You just do what I say." Pen and Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info sell them well, so that they will obey me, so that they will not squeeze me out in the future. Second, I built this road, doesn't Ji Xia know? What does Ji Xia want? It's the mine of these 1,500 people, not the 300 people in my Ji Yun's management, sooner or later he wants to let those people use it, I might as well take the initiative. Three I do this, Ji Xia asked, I said that for the sake of the city, of course, the more and as fast as possible, he will praise me. ”

After laughing for a while, he said, "Even if I let them use this road, how much can they transport?" How far is it from their hill to this side? How long will it take for them to prepare the plough and bark ropes before they have prepared in advance? They used to dig as much as they could and carry away, but now that it's snowing, it's harder to dig, and they can't transport much. ”

"Not only did it sell it to them, but it also made Ji Xia feel that I was not selfish in thinking about the city, in fact, they still shipped half less than me during the New Year, not only can they not say anything about me, but they have to thank me."

"Go ahead, I'll go and ask them. Don't talk nonsense during the meal for a while, just keep the wine warm, but don't say everything I just said. Again, it's done, don't be mean, they mock me every day, you just can't hear it, don't ridicule them. What is the use of the mouth? In the end, it doesn't look like what has been done? ”

"Maybe I'll be in charge of them in the next year, which is more interesting than ridiculing 10,000 sentences."

Only then did the woman come to her senses, and she was very happy in her heart, so she quickly got some wine to warm it and put a big coat on the man.

I found a big radish from the corner of the wall, picked it open, made some grease and twine, made a small lantern that was not afraid of being blown out by the wind, picked it on the wood, and handed it to the man, watching the little light that came out through the radish meat go away.

When people from all over the place gathered in the house, the woman was really as well-behaved as Ji Yun said, straight to warm wine and hot soup, and called according to Xia Cheng's seniority uncle and brother, and even took out a jar of cans of peaches that were reluctant to eat and boiled peaches with sugar sealed with wax, which is a rare thing in winter, and each family issued such a can.

The faces of the people who came were not very good-looking, the woman poured wine, Ji Yun raised it and said: "I am the youngest here, my own brothers, I have been busy these days, and I have never invited you to eat and drink." There is a happy event today, a few days ago, there were a few big fish on it, just invite everyone to try it. ”

A few people couldn't say anything, they raised the bowl and took a drink, and finally someone couldn't help but say, "Ji Yun, how much ore did you transport today?" You invited us here today to laugh at our stupidity? ”

Ji Yun laughed and said, "How dare I? I invite you brothers here today to discuss this matter. Now that it's snowing, your brothers can use this road to carry the ore to the river. ”

When the man heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and the rest of the people were excited, they had gathered together before to think about discussing with Ji Yun, and they never thought that Ji Yun would speak first without opening his mouth.

Ji Yun sighed and said, "When I built this road before, I thought that everyone would use it together. But the rule of our Xia City is to do it first and then talk about it, and I didn't discuss it with everyone. ”

"Besides, it's not certain whether it can snow or not, in case it doesn't snow, this road is also in vain, and there are no cars. Besides, even if it snows, there will definitely be a dispute over where the road is repaired in our five mines, and we all want to repair it closer, but when the time comes, it will annoy the brotherhood. ”

"In addition, Ji Xia has set the amount of the previous year, what if someone from the transportation department comes before the snow? I am very grateful to you for this road, otherwise where would I dare to build it? How can I bear the big thing of Ji Xia? ”

"This bowl has to be honored by you, although Ji Xia didn't carry it away before the year, but if it weren't for you, I would have been punished."

He stood up and saluted one by one, everyone's faces were bright, and they believed his words, this matter does have risks, they don't want to bear it, and if the five families really build the road together, there will indeed be conflicts where to build and who is close.

Ji Yun drank the wine, his face was a little red, and he sighed: "You also know that I used to be a tax collector and did wrong things. You haven't done anything wrong, unlike me. This road is repaired and it snows, and it is indeed faster than carrying it, but what if it is not as fast as carrying it? I thought, anyway, I made a mistake, and I just broke the jar and broke it, but you can't have such a mistake. ”

Everyone hurriedly thanked Ji Yun again, and Ji Yun waved his hand and said, "My own brothers, they are all old men from Xia City, thank you for what?" I made thirty more sets of climbing plows, not more and not enough, but you didn't do them, so I gave you some evenly. There are fewer near to my path, and more farther away. ”

"Ji Xia handed over such a big matter to us, we have to do it well, and mine more stones. What else do you have to say about each other? Ji Xia wants our mine of 1,500 people, but it is not a family. In the future, we will have to figure out how to be more and faster. ”

The few people sitting around thought of the judgment of Ji Yun when they drank before, and they were a little embarrassed for a while, and they saw that Ji Yun's drunken eyes seemed to be extremely depressed, and they all understood Ji Yun's previous flattering behavior: After all, Ji Yun made mistakes, and he was not the same as himself, even if he didn't say it, he was afraid that he still had a hard time.

I thought that Ji Yun would not let them use this road this time, but I didn't expect Ji Yun not only to take the initiative to come forward, but also to lend them thirty sets of climbing plows, which really helped them a lot.

Ji Yun didn't care, as if he was drunk, he knocked on the bowl and said, "Hey, it's all over, what is this?" When I was in Xiacheng, as soon as I wanted to learn the rules, I had to be carried to the square, and let me explain what it meant not to damage the public and private interests, at most I had to explain more than a dozen times a month, I was used to it, you don't have to care. ”

"Tomorrow morning, you will come and pull the plough away. This road is not my Ji Yun's road, it is our Xiacheng's road, and the people of Xiacheng can naturally walk! ”

Everyone was even more convinced, praised again and again, and after the excitement in the middle of the night, when everyone left, Ji Yun asked the woman to light the oil lamp.

"You go to sleep first, I'll write something."

Rubbing his face with snow, he took out the brush and wooden tablet given to him by Jian Chen by the dim oil lamp, and wrote some things carefully with the words he had practiced hard these days.

The approximate meaning is: "Ji Xia, I built a road before, and I used a climbing plow to transport ore while it was snowing, and I could transport five or six hundred thousand catties a day, and people were not tired." ”

"I think the wheels are expensive, and they need to be exchanged for corn grain, so they can't be distributed to the mines. The miners are too slow to carry it, and they are tired from carrying it five or six times a day. ”

"Just when I couldn't think of a way, I thought of Ji Xia's method when he was logging in the copper mine, cutting down more trees in the summer, and then sliding down the mountain in the winter using the snow trail. I have always kept this wisdom in my heart, and it was this wisdom that made me think of a solution. ”

"In winter, it is cold, and it is not easy to excavate, so it is not possible to wash and beneficiate. But it was snowing heavily, and it was just right to be transported. ”

"Spring and summer are warm, easy to excavate, beneficiation and washing, but the road is too far and there are no vehicles that can only rely on people's backs."

"I think that the smelting department has not yet transported the ore, and the accumulated amount of the previous year should be enough until next winter. Starting from next year, dig more in spring and summer, pile up on the side of the road, and wash in autumn. ”

"In the winter, when the snow is cold and the clothes are plentiful, and the ground is hard, we stop digging and transport the ore dug in the spring and summer to the river with a climbing plow. In this way, the miners are not tired, and they must be transported more than before, and a lot of miners can also be saved. ”

Crookedly expressing the above meaning in scarce words, and wrote his name at the end, a few days later, when the ship from Yucheng to deliver food arrived, Ji Yun wrapped the wooden tablet and asked someone to bring it to Chen Jian.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't wait for Jian Chen's reply, but half a month later, a few Xia Chengren went around the mine a few times, and went back without asking anything.

Ji Yun's face was indifferent, but he was anxious in his heart, but the wooden slip was like a stone into the sea, and there was no news.

I wondered if someone had lost it, and if I wanted to write another copy?

After more than half a month of hesitation, the river had frozen, and when the Chinese New Year was about to begin, people from the transportation department came to the mine and transported the first batch of iron ore.

As soon as the people in charge of this batch of cattle and horses climbed the plow and transported here, they found Ji Yun first, their faces were full of joy, they had known each other in Xia Cheng, and after a few words of greeting, the man said: "Ji Yun, tell you a great thing, the smelting workshop in Yucheng has finally caught fire." ”

Ji Yun rubbed his hands and smiled: "That's good, why is it so long?" What about three or four months? ”

"Hey, it's been a long time? You don't know how much has happened in Yucheng, and this time you will be startled when you go back, and you will not be recognized by the discipline. ”

Ji Yun clenched his fists and asked in surprise, "Go back?" ”

"Aren't you going back? Someone will take care of the affairs here for you tomorrow, and you will return to Yucheng after handing it over. Now you're famous! Your name, and the wooden tablet you wrote, have become texts, and the children of the leaders of the various cities have learned it. Those who are in the book will be famous for eternity. ”

Ji Yun sat on the ground, breathing heavily, and hurriedly said, "Pull me." Really? ”

The man pulled him up, smiled and patted him on the snow and said, "Then there is still a fake?" See for yourself. ”

A tube of wooden tablets was handed over, and the wooden tablets he wrote were copied by people, the only change was that the paragraph that praised Chen Jian in the middle was gone, and all other places were there, and there were interpretations and comments behind the wooden tablets, many words Ji Yun didn't recognize, but it could be seen that it was Chen Jian's handwriting, and finally there were three big good words.

"Ji Xia asked you to go back this time, one is to tell those people how you came up with this solution; Second, the people of the Planning and Statistics Department should calculate how much food you have saved for us, and exchange it for Taobei to reward you; The third is that your rank is going up, and your rank is also going up, so let you go back to attend the class. ”

"Listening to a class?"

"That's right, officials above the fifth rank have to listen to the class, Ji Xia teaches it personally, and few people are qualified to listen to it now."

Ji Yun only felt that it was a little dark in front of him, and his heart was pounding, that Mu Jian was not lost, but it was really sent right! Now is the time when there is a shortage of people, it is easy to climb up by yourself, and after three or five years, it will be difficult to climb again, and this step is finally taken, and I am qualified to listen to that kind of class.

The man thought for a moment, then smiled again: "Ji Xia asked me to bring you a message." Say...... Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, Ji Yun is not confused. Praise you. In particular, praise you for building the road for the rest of the people to use it, saying that you have finally made a distinction between public and private, which is more useful than 10,000 pledges to admit your mistakes. ”

Ji Yun muttered the sentence praising himself, "Big things are not confused", and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this time he stood in the right place and walked the right way, he was a person who was "still good", not the kind of person who was terminally ill and couldn't save the useless.

"Don't be stunned, I know you're happy. I just haven't eaten, so I asked your woman to prepare some meals, and you know the person who handed over him, they are all old Chinese people from our Xia City, and I talked about it by the way for a drink, and I will go back with me tomorrow. ”

"By the way, your woman was requisitioned to the Dyeing and Spinning Division, because your woman doesn't know much and can only do it on the dyeing and spinning side, and there is just a shortage of people. Asked if you would like it, Ji Xia said that it is okay to reward women with your current rank without having to work, at will. ”

Only then did Ji Yun come to his senses and hurriedly said, "How can you do it if you don't work?" Ji Xia hates women who rely on people to support her the most, and I'm not lazy as a woman, now is the time when the city was first built, and even the people of Xia Cheng have to contribute. ”

He hurriedly made a decision for the woman, looking in the direction of the city, and his heart was full of anticipation.

What happened to the city in the past three or four months? What has become of the city? And how do those weird workshops work? What will be their fate? (To be continued.) )
