Chapter 1306: News
"According to the newspaper, the emperor of the puppet dynasty wanted to learn from our Daxin cultivation iron field, and in order to build a furnace, he even pried the floor tiles in the palace, and guess what?!"
In an iron-making factory in the Southern Wilderness, during the break after lunch, a literate worker looked at a newspaper posted in the most conspicuous place, and said the contents of the newspaper with a smile to the workers gathered around.
And reading the newspaper every day is one of the few entertainments for the workers.
After all, in this era, there is really a lack of entertainment, and the biggest entertainment is probably only the hot kang head of the wife and children.
But the emergence of newspapers has opened the door to a new world for many people, even if these newspapers are expired, even the publication of newspapers was ten days ago, but the time when things happened will only be earlier.
However, even so, it still makes many people feel that the originally closed and narrow world has suddenly become wider, and even many people who have long been numb have a desire for the outside world because of the content described in the newspaper.
"Lao Feng, don't sell it, tell me quickly, what's going on in the back!"
Hearing this, someone immediately urged.
And when the literate man heard this, he didn't sell it anymore, and immediately said:
"As a result, those big officials of the Ministry of Industry directly sold most of the good bricks, and then used them to build stoves with shoddy quality, you say that this furnace does not extinguish the flame every day, and the high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees is not bad. !"
"It is said that when the emperor Lao'er went to check the construction site, those big officials put the bad bricks inside and the good bricks outside, and wanted to get through the tricks, but they couldn't hide it, for this matter, the pseudo-court, only the big and small officials, killed hundreds, up and down, all those involved in this matter, none of the butts were clean, and as for those who were implicated, there were countless people."
Hearing this, someone immediately laughed and said: "Sure enough, the pseudo-dynasty has been exhausted, and even the emperor dares to touch the things that the emperor repairs in the factory, and it is shoddy, and the pseudo-dynasty is already rotten." ”
"Unlike my Daxin, the black-clothed guards supervise the world, and there are transgressors who are beheaded!"
Some people also sighed: "The official word has two mouths, just that pseudo-dynasty, how can there be an official who is not greedy, when the general has not yet conquered the Southern Wilderness, a county order in our county, when he took office, he was just a side child of a big family, before becoming an official, he made a living by selling straw mats, but after being an official for half a year, he had a mansion and a beautiful house." ”
"As for the life and death of the people under his rule, who cares?!"
"Shangguan doesn't care, and the emperor doesn't care, if the matter is big, just find an inconsequential person to recite the name......"
"At that time, in our county, more than 300 people starved to death in one winter, and finally got a thin roll of the imperial court, and then they were thrown into mass graves, and most of the corpses were eaten by wild dogs."
"Thanks to the presence of the great general, we can get out of the sea of suffering, if we continue, we may starve to death in a winter......"
"That's true, thanks to the benevolence of the general, like us to work, not only two meals, but also merit, if you are willing, you can use merit points to exchange for meat, although the exchange of meat is quantitative, but a month, it can also be exchanged for five meals, which is much better than before."
"I remember when I was still in power in the puppet dynasty, and only when I was in charge of the Chinese New Year, I could smell a little meat, and the family was divided, and in the end, one person could get a thin slice, which was already very good......"
There were workers who responded.
Their first batch of workers was a complex composition, ranging from former blacksmiths to nimble farmers.
But in the puppet dynasty, no matter how flexible your mind is, if you are not born well, the chance of getting ahead is infinitely close to zero.
"Eh, in your county, only 300 people starved to death in a winter, in our county, a few years ago, at least 500 people froze to death in a winter, all kinds of taxes, people can't live at all, some people in the back can't stand it, and ask the county master for an explanation, but they were directly beaten as anti-thieves, and let the officers and soldiers kill all the people, after the killing, the big and small officials, not only were not punished, but they were rewarded by the imperial court, saying that what is the counterinsurgency meritorious."
"There is also the annual payment of corn as a tax, the yamen is drenched in the tip of the kick, seventy catties of good rice, if you have to say fifty catties, at that time someone went to theorize, but the result was directly hung with a rope, hung for five days and five nights, hanged alive ......"
Others talked about what was happening around them.
And when this topic was opened, a group of people immediately couldn't help it, and they talked about some things that happened around them.
In the end, they were all emotional, but in the end, all the emotions turned into a kind of happiness.
"Lao Feng, besides this, what else is on the newspaper?!"
After venting, someone came back to his senses and immediately asked.
"Let me see."
Lao Feng responded, and then immediately looked at it word by word.
He knew a little bit of writing, but not much, and now although he went to a night school run by the imperial court, he was also semi-literate, that is, writing, he could listen and read, but he couldn't write.
He knew the words, but it was difficult to write.
This is also the disadvantage that literacy does not start at a young age and become a monk halfway, and it takes extra effort and sweat to learn.
And Lao Feng is already a person who learns better among the crowd, after all, not everyone is enterprising.
In the eyes of most workers, today's days are already fairy days, two meals a day are all-you-can-eat, if you are willing, you can eat five meals of meat a month, and if the production efficiency is high, the quality is good, there are additional merit rewards.
As for learning, of course, if you complete your studies, you can evaluate the so-called vocational certificate, you can get more merits, and you can eat more meat, but the process of learning is too painful.
Compared to that pain, they would rather eat a few less meals of meat.
"The newspaper said that we workers should also be armed, only in this way can we defend our families and the country and protect our hard-won happy life, so in the future, we will carry out armed training for workers in various factories across the country, so that we can learn to use firearms."
"Also, it said above that there was a thief in Guchuan County who kept his own pocket, colluded with the upper and lower levels, and resold the good iron in the factory to the mountain people, and was reported to the black guard by the worker, and the worker directly won the Medal of Honor and enjoyed additional merit allowance, which is not counted, his immediate family members within the next three generations, no matter what they sign up for, have the right of priority admission, and at the same time entered a glorious list, saying that the imperial court will send a special person every year, and also communicate with that person, in case there is a corrupt official group, retaliation afterwards......"
