Chapter 698: The Peasant Soldier Appears

Wooden beams are needed to build a house, and the last thing Goryeo lacks is wood. When Su Shi posted a notice, but anyone who sent a tree trunk above the waist thickness would get a pound of coarse grain, and soon everyone had a job, and the nearby mountains were full of Goryeo people who were logging, and they used various tools to find a way to cut down the giant tree they liked, and then moved into Huangcao Town in exchange for the food they needed.

Just like the Shang Dynasty reform, once it starts, as long as the policy remains unchanged, the next things will be much easier, and the whole town, including the Goryeo people in the surrounding thirty miles of the town, will soon be used by Su Shi.

After 10 days, the peasant representatives finally set up the peasant association.

The peasant association, which is the mother's family of the peasants, is responsible for protecting the rights and interests of the peasants, and after more and more local people join it, the influence of Su Shi is also expanding.

Another ten days later, the Huaxia store was officially opened in the town.

The variety of goods inside is dazzling, and people will be dazzled when they see it.

Originally, the store was established to serve Su Jiajun's family, and only when they had money in their hands could they afford to shop. However, when business opened up and the people of Goryeo were allowed to enter and visit it, the mentality of the local people, who were just trying to fill their stomachs at first, began to change.

People are like this, they will always strive for better, or rather, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.

Su Shi likes people who have pursuits, because only in this way will human beings create more and change more.

The people of Goryeo entered the Huaxia store and were stimulated by the endless supply of goods inside.

It not only contained the grain they needed, but also the kind of white flowers, which were the fine grains that the landlords and gentry were reluctant to eat in the past.

In addition, there is also a thing called iodized salt, I heard that if you can put a little bit of it when cooking, the taste will be more fragrant, and more nutritious, which can supplement many substances needed by the human body.

Look at Su Jiajun, who is tall and tall, it is because they often eat this kind of salt that they have the current change.

In addition, there are all kinds of fresh meat, as well as all kinds of fruits that make people drool, and most of them have never seen before. The red thing called the apple, when you bite into it, it is full of sweet juice, and you can't help but swallow it when you think about it.

There are also things like watermelon, citrus, melon, sugar cane, bananas, and even something called durian that doesn't smell Chad, but tastes very good.

In addition, there are all kinds of iron tools for farming, shovels, hoes, rakes, three-foot hooks, and so on.

In addition, there are ploughing oxen, mules, donkeys, pigs, chickens, sheep, ducks, geese, rabbits and other things tethered in the backyard of the store.

There's also a bunch of things called fertilizers stacked neatly. It is said that if this thing is put into the field, it can increase the yield and make the grain harvest.

As for the second floor of the business, there are even more good things, shiny glassware, fragrant and smelling perfumes, cigarettes that can refresh the mind, all kinds of sweets that are sweet to the bones, white sugar that is as white as snow, brown sugar that is as red as red, as well as cosmetics, watches, bicycles that can be ridden, table lamps that can emit bright lights, and so on.

In short, it's just a sentence, only you can't think of it.

In the face of these good things, the people of Goryeo were dazzled one by one, and their eyes were full of little stars, and the longing in their hearts was getting heavier and heavier.

Especially when I saw that Su Jiajun's family members would go in and out from time to time, and then take a red ticket to buy the things they fancied home. Even when those children of the Su family army also had their own change and could go into the store to buy some candy and toys and bear dolls that they liked to eat, a feeling of extreme envy began to permeate the hearts of the people of Goryeo.

The hearts of the people were moved, and the effect of Su Shi was achieved. Then the peasant unions began to recruit peasant soldiers.

The recruitment rules were posted in Chinese characters in the town, and it was written that if you become a peasant soldier, you will be paid 40 yuan a month.

Adopting the Chinese character method means that Su Shi forces everyone to learn to write Chinese characters and learn the rules of the Han people in a subtle way, so that after a long time, they will be sinicized, and after two generations, when Chinese becomes the official language, it is the beginning of the annihilation of Goryeo culture.

If you want to destroy a people, it is useless to just defeat them, you have to assimilate them in terms of culture and customs, which is the real cure for the root cause.

The monthly salary was 40 yuan, and the local people did not know Chinese characters, but after consulting the peasant representatives and learning what was written, the whole town exploded in an instant.

What does $40 mean?

That's 2,000 catties of coarse grain.

Two thousand catties, you can earn it in a month, this is something that people can't think about at all, but in reality, it happened.

In the face of such a great temptation, who can resist it. For a time, almost all men, women, and children had to sign up, wanting to become the peasant soldiers that everyone envied.

It's a pity that if you want to become a peasant soldier, you don't just have to have enthusiasm, you also need to meet at least three conditions.

First, to have good morality and good health, at least to get the joint recommendation of more than five local people, and once the peasant soldier has problems in the future, the recommended people will be affected. This is to force people who want to become peasants and soldiers to work actively.

Second, they can speak Chinese, at least for ordinary communication.

Third, be able to write Chinese characters, 200 characters as a foundation, and have the ability to read simple letters.

The first one is better, the lower the people, the more simple the quality, because they don't have so many ideas at all.

However, Articles 2 and 3 stumped everyone.

Taking advantage of the situation, temporary night schools appeared.

It's in a courtyard in the middle of the town, and every night, after everyone finishes work, they can come here to learn to write and speak Chinese with the Han teacher.

More than 20 days ago, the people couldn't even eat enough, but now they have begun to take the initiative to learn knowledge, which seems to be something that they dare not think about, because it is impossible for a person to change so quickly, but under the temptation of huge interests, it is easy to change everyone.

And because there were so many people who came to study, a courtyard couldn't fit at all, so I simply came to an open-air teaching on the largest square in the center of the town.

Su Shi asked people to set up several street lamps here, and then the generator was energized, which illuminated the night here as if it were day, providing a good learning environment for everyone.

A campfire not far away is constantly burning, sending out heat energy to ensure that everyone will not be frozen.

Under the shadow of street lamps and campfires, all the people in the town, except for the old ones who walked hard, except for the ignorant children, everyone else came.

Even those big girls and little daughters-in-law are also serious about learning, with their physical strength, it is impossible to be peasant soldiers, but they can see that if they learn Chinese and Chinese characters, they can better communicate with the Su family members in the town, so that when they need workers in the future, they will have more and greater advantages if they understand Chinese. Look at the book

In the past 20 days, Huangcao Town has undergone a big change, more tree beams have been lifted into the town, and more and more houses have been erected.

Su Shi himself became a teacher, taught some family members how to wiring, how to wiring, and soon, the town became bright at night, like a small town in the early days of modernization.

With electric lights, more houses, and warmer weather, Su Shi set his sights on the ground again.

In March in Goryeo, it was rainy and rainy, and at this time, the whole ground was full of potholes, and people went out to walk around, and their shoes and pants were full of muddy water, which made people unpleasant to see.

As a result, large quantities of cement were exchanged, and cement roads began to be built in the town.

Temporary workers in the fifteenth tier of wages appeared, and when the news spread that they would be paid one yuan a day for work, a long queue of applicants quickly formed.

Fu Bi personally selected and selected some who seemed to be quite strong.

More than fifty of the selected people, one by one, happily became the first batch of temporary workers, began to mix cement, and under the command of the Dragon Heavenly King, built a cement road.

That night, after a tiring day and doing their best, more than 50 temporary workers were so tired that they couldn't even straighten their waists, each of them got a red ticket, and the fatigue of their whole bodies disappeared in an instant

Lost.

For them, today's Huaxia store is open for one hour overtime. These more than 50 temporary workers became the first local consumers.

When they entered the store one by one with a one-yuan money ticket, bought coarse grains, bought iodized salt, and some even bought a few candies for their children, the reaction was that the people in the town, who were originally reluctant to eat or drink, began to eat with their bellies open.

Especially the women, they are thinking of the law to make food for their husbands, so that they can make their bodies stronger, and then they can be hired by the Su family, so that they can earn red money and buy more good things that they can't even think of.

After more than ten days, many Goryeo people in the town have surplus grain at home, but they are reluctant to eat it because of habit. But the advent of temporary workers stimulated them.

If you don't pay, where will you get in return?

In order to get more, the Korean men finally realized what it means to eat three meals a day and what it means to be full.

I can't give up my children, I can't put a wolf on my shoulder, I can't give up my wife...

Everyone is out of the way, and the physical condition of the Goryeo people in the town is changing every day.

The number of temporary workers, who could only recruit more than 50 temporary workers, has changed day by day, from the original dozens to 100 to 200, and more and more people have reached the standard, and more and more families of Goryeo have benefited.

At the end of March, the first group of peasant soldiers in the town appeared.

Thirty-one people passed the examination of the peasants and soldiers.

In one month, I learned the basic Chinese conversation and learned more than 200 words, such ability, such determination is to become a good student in the next generation. This is the temptation of profit, and this is the role of initiative.
