Chapter 1307 News

"According to the newspaper, the emperor of the pseudo dynasty wanted to learn from our Daxin to build an ironworks. In order to build a furnace, he even pried up the floor tiles in the palace. Guess what happened?!"

In an ironworks in the southern wilderness, during the lunch break, a literate worker looked at a newspaper posted in the most conspicuous place and told the workers around him the contents of the newspaper with a smile.

Reading newspapers every day is one of the few entertainments for the workers.

After all, in this era, there is a lack of entertainment, and the greatest entertainment is probably only a wife and children.

But the emergence of newspapers has opened the door to a new world for many people, even if these newspapers are out of date, and even the printing of newspapers is more than ten days ago, but the time when things happened will only be earlier.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 open, and even many people who have long been numb have developed a desire for the outside world because of the content described in the newspaper.

"Old Feng, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what happened next!"

After hearing this, someone immediately urged.

The literate man did not keep us in suspense and said immediately:

"As a result, the officials of the Ministry of Works sold most of the good bricks and used inferior bricks to build the furnace. You said that the furnace would burn all day long. If the high temperature was over a thousand degrees, how could it not break if inferior bricks were used?!"

"It is said that when the emperor went to the construction site to check, the officials put the bad bricks inside and the good bricks outside, trying to get away with it, but they failed. For this matter, the pseudo-court killed hundreds of officials, big and small, just that From top to bottom, all those who participated in this matter were not clean, and as for those who were implicated, there were countless of them. "

Hearing this, someone laughed and said, "Sure enough, the pseudo dynasty has run out of luck. They even dared to touch the things used by the emperor to repair the factory and pass them off as good ones. The pseudo dynasty is rotten to the core."

"Unlike our Daxin, the black guards monitor the world and those who violate the rules will be killed!"

Some people also sighed: "Officials are two words, and in that pseudo dynasty, there are no officials who are not corrupt. When the general had not yet conquered the southern wilderness, a county magistrate in our county took office. , he was just a collateral descendant of a big family. Before he became an official, he made a living by selling straw mats, but after being an official for half a year, he had a mansion and beautiful concubines. "

"As for the life and death of the people under his rule, who cares? !"

"The superiors don't care, and the emperor doesn't care. When things get out of hand, they just find an insignificant person to bear the blame..."

"At that time, more than 300 people starved to death in our county in one winter. In the end, they only got a roll of thin mats from the court, and then they were thrown into a mass grave. Most of the bodies were eaten by wild dogs."

"Fortunately, there is the general, and we can We can escape from the sea of ​​suffering. If we continue, we may starve to death in a winter..."

"Indeed, thanks to the benevolence of the general, we can not only get two meals for work, but also get merit points. If we are willing, we can exchange merit points for meat. Although the exchange of meat is fixed, we can exchange five meals a month, which is much better than before."

"I remember when the pseudo-dynasty was in power, we could only smell a little meat during the New Year. The family shared it. In the end, each person could get a thin piece, which was already very good..."

A worker responded.

The composition of their first batch of workers was very complex. There were former blacksmiths and smart farmers.

But in the pseudo-dynasty, no matter how smart you are, if you are not born well, your chances of getting ahead are infinitely close to zero.

"Hey, your county only starved to death in one winter. In our county, at least 500 people froze to death or starved to death in one winter a few years ago. Various taxes made it impossible for people to survive. Later, some people couldn't stand it anymore and asked the county magistrate for an explanation. As a result, they were directly labeled as traitors and the soldiers killed all the people. After the killing, the officials, big and small, were not only not punished, but were rewarded by the court for their meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion."

"And every year, we pay corn as taxes. The government office charges 70 kilograms of good rice, but they insist that it is 50 kilograms. At that time, someone went to argue, and was directly hung up with a rope for five days and five nights, and was hanged to death..."

Some people also talked about what happened around them.

When the topic was opened, a group of people immediately couldn't help it and talked about some things that happened around them.

In the end, everyone was emotional, but in the end, all the emotions turned into a kind of luck.

"Old Feng, besides this, what else is in the newspaper?!"

After venting, someone came back to his senses and asked immediately.

"Let me see."

Old Feng responded, and then he read it word by word.

He knew a little bit of writing, but not much. Although he went to the night school run by the court, he was still semi-illiterate. That is, he could listen and read, but he couldn't write.

He knew the characters, but it was difficult to write them.

This is also the disadvantage of not learning to read from a young age, and not learning to read halfway. You have to spend twice the effort and sweat to learn it.

And Old Feng is already a better learner among the crowd. After all, not everyone has the ambition to make progress.

In the eyes of most workers, today's life is like a god's life. They can eat two meals a day and five meals of meat a month if they are willing. If the production efficiency is high and the quality is good, there will be extra merit rewards.

As for learning, if you finish learning, you can go to evaluate the so-called professional certificate, get more merits and eat more meat, but the learning process is too painful.

Compared with that kind of pain, they would rather eat less meat.

"The newspaper said that we workers should also be armed. Only in this way can we defend our country and our hard-earned happy life. Therefore, in the future, armed training for workers will be carried out in various factories across the country to let us learn to use firearms."

"Also, it is said that there is a thief in Guchuan County who colluded with others to sell the good iron in the factory to the mountain people. As a result, he was reported to the Black Guard by his fellow workers. That worker was directly awarded the Medal of Glory and enjoyed additional merit allowances. That's not all. His direct relatives within three generations have priority admission no matter what they apply for. At the same time, they are also included in the honor list. It is said that the court will send a special person every year to communicate with that person to prevent corruption groups from retaliating afterwards..."
