Sun Sanlang sat on the iron mattress, looked at the red sun in the sky, and came out for a while, and said to Ruan Wu beside him: "Fifth Brother, did you come here last time the iron supervision road was supervised? That time, there was no iron on it, just a big cart."

Ruan Wu sighed: "How could I know that the Iron Supervisor said that thirty cents a day can be paid every day, and it is all cash and never owed it! I thought it was the same as before, and I kept a note there, and I don't know when to get it. I was confused for a while and didn't come, and missed the opportunity to make money!"

Sun Sanlang said, "I came with my father. From that time on, I knew that it would be beneficial to work for the Iron Supervisor. However, this time it was not hired by the Iron Supervisor and I heard that there was no money to pay. I heard from the civilians of other states that the Iron Supervisor only supplies grain and rice, but it was not as good as last time."

Ruan Wu said, "I have heard of it too. I also heard that if I follow the Iron Supervisor's will, I will actually have to pay money. However, the imperial court asked the people of several states to help build roads, and the three departments did not pay money, so the Iron Supervisor had to not pay. However, we are now a household under the Iron Supervisor's rule, so we can't treat it unfairly."

Sun Sanlang said: "I will not treat you badly. The villagers of other states only give rice. Are we cooking? There are rice and vegetables every day, and there is at least tofu in the dishes, and occasionally meat is eaten. It is not better than those in other states. But if you don't find money, you always feel that it's not good."

Speaking of this, Sun Sanlang stood up, patted his butt, picked up the iron shovel on the ground and said, "If it is done, it would be great if we take the utensils home. Brother Wu doesn't know that he used the usual utensils last time, and he felt that there was nothing there. This time, he used the utensils from the Iron Supervisor, which was so light and I don't know how much effort he saved! After using this shovel, what's the use of the Iron Supervisor to take it back? Why don't you give it to us!"

Ruan Wu shook his head repeatedly: "What dream did you have? The iron supervisor is made of steel, how can it be compared to the ones you use for your own home? I'm afraid that it would cost a few chunks of money, so how could you take it home!"

The iron shovel is extremely heavy, not sharp, and it is extremely inconvenient to dig the soil. Of course, no matter how bad it is, it is better than the wooden shovel. I don’t think that the tools provided by the iron supervisor this time are all made of steel, which is light and clever. Those who do their jobs here fall in love with it in an instant.

Don’t underestimate a shovel. Steel in industrial society is not valuable and doesn’t think it’s anything. If you really use iron, you will know how big the difference is. If you use cooked iron, if you use it for a while, you will bend and tilted here and there, and you won’t look like this. In this era, cooked iron is also rare. It is more made of pig iron, heavy and stupid, and not sharp, and it is easy to collapse when encountering stones. In remote places, even pig iron is rare, and many people are also made of wood. The most obvious thing is that steel is popular. If a soldier has a steel engineer shovel in his hands, the earthwork will be different immediately.

This is the power of industry. Not only trains, ships, but every bit of life will be completely renewed.

In this era, industry did not develop, and steel was not used for many purposes. How much steel is used for agricultural tools, weapons and daily necessities? Many of them are not demanding. The steel in the Iron Supervision Bureau is indeed unable to be sold unless it can spread throughout the world. Industry will use steel in a large amount. A random machine, a few thousand pounds are nothing. At that time, a unit with such a small pound was ridiculous.

For example, the railway paved at this time was particularly material. Du Zhongxiao asked for a hundred kilograms per step, and the railway from Iron and Xiangcheng was more than 10 million kilograms. These steels were used to make weapons, which were enough for several years to be used in the country. This is the railway between the two counties, and the trunk lines connecting the country were paved. The steel used was astronomical for this era. Without this Iron and Steel, no one would dare to think about it.

Just when Sun Sanlang and Ruan Wu were talking lively, the foreman Wu Liu came over and shouted: "Everyone has gotten up, and after another cup of tea, the meal will start! Don't wait until the time is over, don't procrastinate!"

When he arrived, Sun Sanlang asked, "Uncle Six, what are you eating today? Is there any meat?"

Sun Sanlang has been working with Uncle Wu Liu in the past few months, and the two of them are so familiar that they can't be more familiar. After hearing this, Uncle Wu Liu scolded: "The meat outside is so expensive now, how can you afford it! Don't talk about you, people in the Iron Prison have money and food every month, and I don't know how many times a year!"

Sun Sanlang sighed: "That is, isn't it said that we are doing our job this time, and there is no benefit?"

Uncle Wu Liu said: "Why is there no benefit! This is what I want to say after finishing my work today. It doesn't matter if I tell you first. The Iron Supervisor Office already has a list of articles. From now on, all the men under the rule will have thirty labor laborers a year. If there is less money, pay for it. If you do more, you will pay for it. If you come here to build roads, all those under the rule of iron will be included in the next year's labor labor. Isn't this just paying money?"

When Sun Sanlang heard this, he thought about it. In the past, the imperial court had no exact number of labor service, but no matter what, thirty days were always indispensable. Even if there was no project, he would have to be substituted by the elders as a strong man to maintain local public order. For thirty workers, I don’t know if it included the strong man. If it included, it would be a big profit.

Farmers always have several months of slack farming time a year, and there are not many corvee laborers a year. Without the power to recruit husbands, local officials could not do it locally. At this time, the three officials controlled the financial power and did not leave any money for local governments. The biggest reliance on governing local governments in prefectures and counties was to recruit husbands. In fact, in the 1990s of New China, farmers' volunteer work was far more than this, at least sixty a year, and more than a hundred were.

The Iron Supervision is mainly based on industry, not as good as ordinary prefectures and counties. It sets fewer quotas for levying, which is considered as industry feeding back to agriculture.

Thinking about it, he still had no money, Sun Sanlang sighed: "Although he has been in charge of the next year's service, he has no cash to get it, which is always unpleasant!"

Uncle Wu Liu said: "In addition, when the road is completed, we will also give each person a set of farm tools. I have seen it, one shovel, one hoe, one scythe. They are all good things, no worse than what you are now."

After hearing this, Ruan Wu jumped up suddenly from the ground: "Uncle Six, do you think this is serious?"

Uncle Wu looked at Ruan Wu and frowned and said, "I will take you to do your job, and I have never lie!"

Ruan Wuyi clapped his hands: "That's great! I originally thought that if I came to repair this road, I would be very good if I had money to go home to change the set of farm tools! I never expected that the China Railway Regulatory Commission sent us! I have seen the farm tools they sold, which are light and easy to use, and are much better than what we used before!"

Uncle Wu Liu smiled and said, "That's natural. This time we used new farm tools, and we built roads more than twice as quickly as last time. If not, how could you rest a few times a day? Do your work with your heart, and the yamen will never treat you badly."

After saying that, he continued to walk forward and greeted his men to prepare for dinner.

Ye County is transferred to the Iron Supervision Bureau. Although the people under their jurisdiction are not as good as those of the workers in the Iron Supervision Bureau, there are still many benefits. The Iron Supervision Bureau makes money by smelting iron, and there is no need to strip the people of the people, and the burden is significantly reduced. In addition to the fact that the money and grain are not reduced, all kinds of harsh taxes have been almost exempted.

A few days ago, Du Zhongxiao made the regulations. Later, under the rule of Iron Supervision, the people's burdens were merged into three types, namely money, grain, and labor. The money and grain remained unchanged, and there were 30 laborers a year. In principle, the government must organize the project according to the Dingkou under its rule, and the number shall be based on this number. If there are too many projects, all the money will be paid. If there are not enough, the government will be dereliction of duty. In addition, the transportation of money and grain is no longer arbitrary, and the number of miles is determined. Generally, the people handed over to the county, and the county issued documents. Transported to other states only to Lin County, and if there are farther away, the government and the government will be hired.

These local regulations are called the one state and one county regulations at this time. They must also be compiled into a book and handed over to the Secretariat and the Three Divisions. The prefecture and county regulations shall be subject to national regulations and shall be deleted or added based on local actual conditions. They are actually part of the entire legal system.
