For example, how much coal can be consumed to make coke, how much coke is consumed to refine a ton of pig iron, how much money is needed to make pig iron in the end, and how much iron is needed to make steel. Maybe not in the early stage, but in the later stage.

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

"This place has basically been on track. Leave the things here to you, and you have to pay attention to a few things." Huo Gang said with a smile.

"Chief, please tell me." Mingyue nodded respectfully immediately.

"The first thing is to pay attention to when the first time these laborers exchanged food coupons for other things, and when the first time they did not exchange them all for food coupons." Huo Gang said.

Mingyue was a little confused, but she still agreed.

After saying that, Huo Gang and Mingyue returned to Yiwu City directly, and the coals were handed over to Mingyue, and the transportation work could be carried out by ordinary people in the territory.

However, the roads transported to the near iron ore still need to be found by Gongsun Lin.

Huo Gang and the others had already left, and when the sun set, Jiang Laoqi thought they would go home directly, but what Jiang Laoqi did not expect was that after finishing get off work and washing up, the person who distributed food coupons to them at noon actually distributed a total of 8 yuan in food coupons to them.

"This is your supper and your day's reward." After the payer gave them the food coupons, he said with a smile.

Jiang Laoqi and the others were all a little happy, but they didn't expect that they would still care about supper!

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

Jiang Laoqi ate a little slower than noon this time, but he quickly finished his dinner. After that, a man shouted loudly at the gate of the yard: "Everyone is careful, now go to the next yard to exchange food coupons for your rewards!"

Jiang Laoqi hurriedly stood up. He had 4 yuan of food coupons left in his hand, and he didn't know how much he could exchange for. However, the remuneration was far beyond his imagination. The most important thing was that the food he ate this day alone, he could not make money to buy this little food in the past.

Jiang Laoqi was not at the front, they were still lined up in an orderly line. Jiang Laoqi and the others were used to this. After they reached the front, Jiang Laoqi discovered that there were three houses here.

The first house is grain! There are rice and noodles, and the price of rice and noodles is 4 yuan per kilogram!

He didn't know how much grain a kilogram was, but Jiang Laoqi saw the person in front of him and decisively exchanged a kilogram of rice. Jiang Laoqi saw the amount of rice. This rice... is quite a lot!

When it was his turn, Jiang Laoqi said in a trembling voice: "Can I exchange all this for rice?"

"Of course, the price of rice and flour is 4 yuan per kilogram. Do you want rice or noodles?"

"Rice!" Jiang Laoqi said decisively, because rice can be made into porridge and they can eat it for a few more days.

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

"Remember, if you exchange grain tomorrow, bring a rice bag by yourself. There is no way to provide you with rice bags every day. This rice bag will be returned tomorrow." The man in charge of distributing rice and flour inside said.

"Yes, yes." Jiang Laoqi hurriedly took the small cloth pocket, and then Jiang Laoqi couldn't help asking: "My husband, don't you know that our wages are 4 yuan in food coupons every day?"

"Yes, every day, there are 4 yuan food coupons. The leader said that reforms will be carried out in a while. The food coupons you earn may be more. My name is Wang Wu, my name, or Goro." The man who distributed the food explained with a smile.

These people were carefully selected and they themselves had the function of explaining them for them, so they were all very patient, and no one dared to be impatient.

"Thank you Wulang." Jiang Laoqi said quickly.

"Okay, hurry up and leave, there are other people behind." Wang Wu waved his hand with a smile.

Jiang Laoqi immediately walked forward quickly. They were walking in a passage made of wood, as if they were not allowed to walk around. Following this passage, Jiang Laoqi quickly came to the second house. After coming to the second house, what surprised Jiang Laoqi was that he actually saw salt here!

Although Jiang Laoqi could not read, he couldn't help asking: "Mr., can our food coupons be exchanged for salt?"

"Yes, because our leader does not have so many copper coins now, he directly converts grain, salt and cloth into copper coins as your salary. The food coupons in your hands are for your convenience. You can exchange anything you want. The price of salt is 4 yuan per kilogram, just like grain. There is also cloth behind it." The man explained politely.

"Thank you." Jiang Laoqi hurriedly said thank you. After hesitating for a moment, he had a decision in his heart, and he said tentatively: "You guy, I can't read, 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 tag hanging there and said.

The man looked at Jiang Laoqi in surprise, then smiled and said, "You are the first to ask this question, give it to you." After that, the man took out a piece of white paper from behind the counter.

Jiang Laoqi hurriedly took it. The paper was not big, but it had a few numbers written on it. The man pointed to these numbers and said, "This is called Arabic numerals. We big men will often use it in the future. This is 0, this is 1. You already know, this is 2, and so on, this is 10, and 11 means that two 1s are written together, which is 11, and the following numbers are also written in the same way."

"This is Yuan, these two words are food coupons, and the word behind is rice, unit of length." After telling Jiang Laoqi once, the man handed him the paper.

This book is compiled and produced by the official account. Follow VX [Book Friends Base Camp] to read books and receive cash red envelopes!

Jiang Laoqi took it carefully, folded it and put it on his body. Jiang Laoqi had already decided that after he went back, he must remember these numbers and the yuan. Because this is related to the money he earns later.

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

There are only these four types of cloth in total, and there is no special color, just the color of these fabrics themselves. However, looking at the price of these cloths, Jiang Laoqi also has some jealousy. They have not bought new clothes for a long time.

The price of this silk is 20 yuan per meter. Although Jiang Laoqi doesn’t know how long one meter is, he knows that if it is 20 yuan, he will make a profit in 5 days. In other words, 5 kilograms of rice.

Of course, Jiang Laoqi could not buy silk. He looked at the coarse burlap next to him. The price of fine linen cloth is only 5 yuan per meter, which means that he can buy one meter in a day. The price of fine linen cloth is twice as expensive as coarse burlap, about 10 yuan per meter. The price of white linen cloth and fine linen cloth are similar.

In fact, the price of these cloths is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. It is almost unprofitable and is even slightly cheaper. For food coupons are one yuan, Huo Gang exchanges them at about the same price per cent.

For example, the silk of the Tang Dynasty, the standard one is 40 feet long and 8 inches wide, while the linen is 50 feet long, which is the same width as the silk. If you count it, it is about 16 meters.

But he just saw that he couldn't afford it now and there was no food at home, but Jiang Laoqi remembered all the prices. After remembering it, he quickly left here. Not only Jiang Laoqi, but everyone else was the same.

When Jiang Laoqi left here, he saw two carriages waiting outside. After asking, he found out that these two carriages were sent to their village and sent them back every day and in the morning.

When he got home, it was already completely dark. Fortunately, Jiang Laoqi was not blind in the night, and there was a moon today, so he could see the way, but when he got home, he saw his wife having dinner with five children.

It’s just that there are only a few rice in their bowls, and most of them are clear soup.

"I'm 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 and let you eat full today." Jiang Laoqi gritted his teeth and spoke seriously, "This is my salary today, and I will have so much every day from now on."

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

Jiang Laoqi's oldest child is only 10 years old and has a small appetite, so the other children are even younger. It is definitely enough for a few people to eat a kilogram of rice.

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

"Well. And there are so many every day! I've cooked them all today, so you mothers have a full meal." Jiang Laoqi said seriously.

"This, otherwise we will leave a little?" Jiang Laoqi's wife looked down at the expectant gaze on the faces of her children, and she couldn't help but struggle for a moment.

"No, I did it all." Jiang Laoqi said stubbornly.

"Okay..." Looking at the expressions of the children, Jiang Laoqi's wife finally gritted her teeth and poured all the rice into the pot. The children stopped eating and were waiting by the side of the pot with saliva. After the rice was cooked, Jiang Laoqi's wife served them a bowl.

Several children cheered, and each of them took a bowl and quickly ripped rice into their mouths, not caring about the freshly cooked rice.

Jiang Laoqi saw some of his nose sore, because after so many years, their family had the first time to eat dry rice! In the past, it was considered the New Year to be able to eat a bowl of thicker porridge.
