For example, how much coke can be made from how much coal is consumed, how much coke is needed to smelt a ton of pig iron, how much does it cost to make pig iron in the end, and how much iron is needed to make steel, which may not be needed in the early stage, but it is needed in the later stage.

The problem is that if these procedures are added later, it will be too troublesome, so it is better to form them into a certain process from the beginning!

"It's basically on the right track here, and the things here are up to you, and you have to pay attention to a few things." Huo Gang said with a smile.

"Chief, please." Mingyue immediately nodded respectfully.

"First of all, notice when these laborers first exchanged food stamps for other things, and when was the first time they didn't exchange all food stamps." Huo Gang said.

Mingyue was a little puzzled, but she still agreed.

After finishing speaking, Huo Gang and Mingyue returned directly to Yiwu City, and the coal could be handed over to Mingyue here, including the follow-up of the transportation work, which could be carried out by the ordinary people in the territory.

However, the road to the vicinity of the iron mine still needs to be explored by Gongsun Lin.

Huo Gang and the others had already left, and when the sun set, Jiang Laoqi thought that they would go home directly, but what Jiang Laoqi didn't expect was that after washing up after work, the person who gave them food stamps at noon actually gave them a total of 8 yuan food stamps.

"This is your supper, and your day's pay." The paycheck man gave them the food stamps and said with a smile.

Jiang Laoqi and they were all a little happy, they didn't expect to take care of dinner!

It's still the same yard, it's still the same meal as noon, two big steamed buns, and a bowl of broth.

Jiang Laoqi ate a little slower than noon this time, but he still quickly finished his dinner, and after eating, a person at the gate of the courtyard shouted loudly: "Everyone pay attention, now go to the courtyard next door and exchange the food stamps for your payment!" ”

Jiang Laoqi hurriedly stood up, he still had 4 yuan food stamps left in his hand, and he didn't know how many things he could exchange. However, the fact that he was paid was far beyond his imagination, and the most important thing was that just the food he ate this day, he could not earn back the money to buy this grain after working for a day in the past.

Jiang Laoqi is not at the front, they are still lined up neatly, Jiang Laoqi is used to this, and after the front line, Jiang Laoqi found that there are three houses here.

The first house is full of food! There are rice and noodles, and the price of rice noodles is 4 yuan a kilogram!

He didn't know how much grain a kilogram was, but Jiang Laoqi saw that the person in front of him decisively exchanged a kilogram of rice, and Jiang Laoqi saw the amount of those rice, which was ...... That's a lot!

When it was his turn, Jiang Laoqi's voice trembled a little and said, "Can I convert this into rice?" ”

"Of course you can, the price of rice and noodles is 4 yuan a kilogram, do you want rice or noodles?"

"M!" Jiang Laoqi said decisively, because rice can be boiled into porridge, which can allow them to eat for a few more days.

The people inside were not surprised, and quickly weighed out a kilogram of rice for Jiang Laoqi.

"Remember, if you still exchange food tomorrow, bring a rice bag yourself, there is no way to provide you with a rice bag every day, this rice bag will be returned tomorrow." The man in charge of distributing the rice noodles inside spoke.

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Laoqi hurriedly took over the small cloth bag, and then Jiang Laoqi couldn't help but ask: "This Langjun, don't you know that our salary is 4 yuan food stamps every day?" ”

"Yes, it's 4 yuan food stamps every day, the leader said, there will be reforms after a while, and you may earn more food stamps, my name is Wang Wu, call me by my name, or Wulang." The man who distributed the food explained with a smile.

These people are carefully selected, and they themselves have the role of explaining for these people, so they are very patient, and no one dares to be impatient.

"Thank you Goro." Jiang Laoqi hurriedly spoke.

"Alright, let's go, there are others behind." Wang Wu smiled and waved his hand.

Jiang Laoqi immediately walked quickly to the front, they walked on a passage made of wood, it seemed that they were not allowed to walk around, along this passage, Jiang Laoqi soon came to the second house, when he came to the second house, to Jiang Laoqi's surprise, he actually saw salt here!

Although Jiang Laoqi was illiterate, he couldn't help but ask: "This Langjun, can our food stamps also be exchanged for salt?" ”

"Yes, because our leader doesn't have so many copper coins now, so he directly converts grain, salt, and cloth into copper coins as your salary, and the food stamps in your hands are for your convenience, and you can exchange whatever you want. The price of salt is the same as that of grain, which is 4 yuan a kilogram. There's cloth in the back. The man also politely explained.

"Thank you." Jiang Laoqi hurriedly said thank you, hesitated for a moment, he had a decision in his heart, or tentatively said: "This Langjun, you see that I am also illiterate, I don't know if you can tell me, how to learn these numbers?" I want to know them. Jiang Laoqi pointed to the price card hanging there and said.

The man glanced at Jiang Laoqi with some surprise, and then said with a smile: "You are the first to ask this question, and I will give you this." With that, the man pulled out a blank piece of paper from behind the counter.

Jiang Laoqi hurriedly took it, this piece of paper is not big, but there are a few numbers written on it, the man pointed to these numbers and said: "This is called Arabic numerals, we will often use them in the future, this is 0, this is 1, you already know, this is 2, and so on, this is 10, and 11 is two 1s written together is 11, and the numbers behind are also written in the same way." ”

"This is yuan, these two words are food stamps, and the latter word is rice, a unit of length." After telling Jiang Laoqi about it, the man handed him the paper.

Jiang Laoqi took it carefully, folded him, and put it on his body, Jiang Laoqi had already made a decision that after he went back, he must remember these numbers and yuan. Because it's about the money he earns later.

After thanking the man again, Jiang Laoqi walked to the back, and there were all kinds of cloths in front of the third room, including burlap, fine linen, white linen, and silk.

There are only four kinds of fabrics in total, and there is no special color in the color, it is the color of the fabrics themselves, but looking at the price of these fabrics, Jiang Laoqi also has some hot eyes, and they have not bought new clothes in their house for a long time.

The price of this silk silk is 20 yuan a meter, although Jiang Laoqi doesn't know how long a meter is, but he knows that if it is 20 yuan, he thought about it, and he can earn it in 5 days. That is, 5 kg of rice.

Of course, Jiang Laoqi couldn't buy silk silk, he looked at the price of burlap and fine linen next to him. The price of burlap is only 5 yuan a meter, which means that he can buy almost a meter a day, and the price of fine linen is twice as expensive as that of burlap, about 10 yuan a meter, and the price of white linen and fine linen is about the same.

In fact, the price of these cloths Huo Gang set is about the same as the price of Datang, almost no profit, and even slightly cheaper, and the food stamps are one yuan, and Huo Gang is almost equivalent to one penny.

For example, the silk silk of the Tang Dynasty, the standard horse is 40 feet long and 8 inches wide, while the linen cloth is 50 feet long, which is the same width as the silk silk, which is equivalent to more than 16 meters.

But he just looked, he couldn't afford it now, and there were no rations at home, but Jiang Laoqi remembered all these prices, and after remembering them, he quickly left here, not only Jiang Laoqi, but everyone else was similar.

When Jiang Laoqi left here, he saw two carriages waiting outside, and when he asked, he realized that these two carriages were sent to their village, and they were sent back every day, and they were sent back in the morning.

When he returned home, it was already completely dark, fortunately Jiang Laoqi did not have night blindness, and there was a moon today, so he could see the way, but when he returned home, he saw his mother-in-law eating with five children.

It's just that they only have a few grains of rice in their bowl, and then most of it is clear soup.

"Are you back, have you eaten?" Jiang Laoqi's wife hurriedly stood up from the stool.

"After eating, the leader will take care of the food, by the way, you go and cook again, let you eat enough today." Jiang Laoqi gritted his teeth and said seriously, "This is my salary today, and there will be so much every day in the future." ”

Jiang Laoqi directly handed over a kilogram of rice in his arms.

Jiang Laoqi's eldest child is only 10 years old, and the amount of food is not large, and the other children are even younger. One kilogram of rice is definitely enough for several people to eat.

As a result, Jiang Laoqi's wife was also a little stunned, and subconsciously said, "So much? ”

"Hmm. And there are so many of them every day! It's all done today, and you mothers have a full meal. Jiang Laoqi said seriously.

"Well, why don't we leave a little left?" Jiang Laoqi's wife looked down at the expectant looks on the faces of her children, and she couldn't help but be entangled.

"No, it's all done." Jiang Laoqi said stubbornly.

"Good ......" Looking at the expressions of several children, Jiang Laoqi's wife finally gritted her teeth and poured all the rice into the pot. The children didn't eat anymore, they all drooled and waited by the pot, and when the rice was cooked, Jiang Laoqi's wife gave one of them a bowl.

Several children let out a cheer, and one of them took a bowl and quickly pulled the rice into his mouth, not caring about the freshly cooked rice and some of the hotness.

Jiang Laoqi had a sour nose when he saw it, because after so many years, their family had eaten dry rice for the first time! In the past, being able to eat a bowl of thicker porridge was considered the New Year.

Now, all this has finally changed, and life will be fine, it will always be fine!
