Volume [-] Chaoqi / Chaosheng

1 Look at the warmth and coldness of the world

It's autumn in the Kingdom of Yondalim

"Driver, stop for a moment, I want to get off."

"Good lord, a copper coin will do."

"Here, here are three copper coins. Wait for me for a while, and then pull me back." The middle-aged man got out of the rickshaw. It had just rained last night, and the ground was still muddy. It was still the yellow mud, and there was the stench of feces and other unpleasant smells everywhere.The middle-aged man just frowned, he didn't cover his mouth and nose like those noble lords did, but strode forward, not caring about his boots.

"Okay, my dear, honorable and kind master, I will wait here for as long as you want!" The rickshaw driver was very happy. It is really lucky to receive such a rich master these days, let alone wait for a while , even if he waits for an hour or two hours, he is willing.

The middle-aged man was wearing a black warm windbreaker and an octagonal hat on his head. This kind of equipment is simple even in rich people.He walked forward with vigorous steps, and there was what he wanted there.

Beside the street, there were countless people crowded there. They were wearing thin and ragged clothes, and they were tightly crowded by the street. It was early in the morning, and they barely fell asleep shivering in the cold wind. The voices woke up one after another, and they saw the middle-aged man approaching at a glance.

"Who is that? Looks like a gentleman in clothes?"

"What do you mean by looking? Could it be the poor who can afford this kind of clothes these days?"

"Master! Master! Buy me! I only want 25 copper coins!"

"I! I! My lord! I only want 22!"

"I want 18, I can do any job!"

"Ten! The child is yours!"

People started clamoring, scrambling to sell themselves or their children to this old man. In these days, a human life is only worth 25 copper coins, and the purchasing power converted into rmb is only 250 yuan, but it is considered a high price in this world. It can even be said to be cheating, 25 copper coins can buy more than half a month's rations in this world.

The middle-aged man did not respond, but glanced at the crowd with pity, and took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his hand.

"Have any of you worked as a carpenter? Come out." The middle-aged man said

"Carpenter? I used to work in Master Peter's furniture store for a period of time. I can plan wood and weave chairs. I can do rough and clumsy work, kind master."

A stubble-faced man in ragged clothes squeezed out from the crowd. He was tall and burly, but his complexion was very bad. It could be seen that he hadn't eaten seriously for a long time. .

"Mr. Peter's furniture store? Why don't you work there anymore?" The middle-aged man was a little curious and asked in a puzzled tone.

"Master Peter said that the recent years are not good, and there are few people buying furniture. He wants to lower our wages. We only pay 20 copper coins a month. We think it is too little, and this money can't support the family, so we complain a few words. Unexpectedly Master Peter kicked us out without even paying last month's wages. Master, please accept me, I can do any job, as long as I drink and eat for my family, even if I don't pay wages OK." The bearded man said everything in one go, complaining to the middle-aged man

"Ah, that's right." The middle-aged man walked thoughtfully.

"Are there any carpenters? Are there any?" asked the middle-aged man

"Yes! I am also at Master Peter's house..."

"I did it in the country!"

"The country? Are you from the country?" The middle-aged man asked the skinny guy in front of him with some surprise.

"I can't help it, sir. It's raining a lot this year, and the crops in the countryside are in short supply. Landlords and officials are pressing hard. People can't survive, so they can only hand over the land to beg for a living. Not to mention me. , I just made a few stupid things to make ends meet, and everyone came out, so I could only come out."

"Well... the countryside has become like this..." the middle-aged man thought to himself.

"All carpenters who know how to do carpentry come out and line up." The middle-aged man pointed to them and said, the person pointed out happily came out and lined up, while the others looked at them enviously, and He looked at the old man pitifully, hoping to order them next.

"You seven... take this note and go to Mr. Okdo's house at No. 17 Naka Street to find Mr. Okdo. The salary is 35 copper coins per month." The middle-aged man took out a small book from his pocket, took out a charcoal pencil, tore off a piece of paper to write and draw on it, and handed it to the tallest of the seven people. Big stubbled man.

"What's your name?" The middle-aged man asked again.

"My kind master, my name is Yang Kefu." Hu Chanan immediately replied respectfully.

"Go ahead, you lead the team and start working tomorrow." The middle-aged man waved his hand.

"No need for master, I can work today, just... what should I do with my family? I want to bring them in too, there must be a place to live..." Yang Kefu was embarrassed, begging the middle-aged People asked, this is actually a problem for other people too.

"Ah, that's a problem. The issue of family members needs to be resolved. In this way, after you get off work, go to No. 37 Naka Street. There is a hotel called the Home of Workers, and you say that you are the workers who were just arranged today. , the rent is paid at the end of the month. But you should pay attention to the very bad environment there, you need to clean up the room yourself, and someone will supervise your hygiene every day." The middle-aged man tore off another piece of paper and wrote a sentence on it A long sentence, and then signed his name.

"You are Mr. Sun Boyang?! That's great. It really is you. I said that a kind master like you is very rare nowadays. I didn't expect it to be you." Yang Kefu saw the words on the two notes. Signing was a little excited, and his expression was full of gratitude and admiration.

"Why, you know me? Can you read?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile while pulling out his pocket

"At Master Peter's place, our injured people will go to your medical shop. Your doctor will always help us generously and allow us to owe money." Yang Kefu seemed very happy to see his benefactor.

"Master Peter has a teacher who taught me a few words, so I can know two words." Yangkov continued.

"Very good, I think you can join the literacy class." Sun Boyang smiled, turning around and walking back.

"Are you really Mr. Sun Boyang? That benevolent man who often visits us in the countryside?" A skinny old man pushed his way out of the crowd and called out to Sun Boyang.

"Why, old man, you also know me?" Sun Boyang stopped and asked again.

"In the countryside, people often mention you, saying that you will come to help the people in the village every winter, distribute some black bread, and distribute some grain to help us survive the winter." The old man was also very excited.

"Ah, how is the situation in the countryside, old man? Why did even an old man like you come to the city?" Sun Boyang stepped forward, supported the old man and lowered his head to ask.

"Ham, what's there to say? Fate is bad. It rained a lot this year, the crops were in short supply, and we were hit by monsters, so we couldn't eat. The village lords and officials are still pushing us hard, asking us to pay [-]% of the tax this year. , Said that the king wants to build a palace. Who can pay [-]% of the tax? Especially in this year, paying [-]% of the tax is enough to make money. Even if the [-]% of the tax is barely paid, there will be no food left for the family. , the officials still need to collect waste, and only need new grain, and the village masters have to pay private taxes, and the grain to be paid is close to [-]%. Then we can only exchange those few acres of land for grain. If the land is gone, the village master is even more ruthless. If there is no food to eat, you have to owe it. You have to do white labor for the village master in winter, and do farm work for the village master in summer and autumn. You can only get less than [-]% of the grain. Not enough If you want to eat, you have to continue to borrow, and if you can’t repay it, you have to work for the village master in winter..."

"Master Sun, you are kind-hearted and kind. Please help us plant some land. We only need [-]% of the tax, no, [-]% is fine, and only [-]% is left for us. Don't collect waste, don't charge other money , barely let us fill our stomachs..." the old man begged.

"Oh, this world!" Sun Boyang looked extremely angry, he punched angrily, and was indignant at this matter.

"The old man will get better, everyone will get better. In this way, tomorrow my factory will recruit another group of workers. You can see if there are any acquaintances, let him take you there, and stay here temporarily. It doesn't matter if you don't have acquaintances, go to me Do chores there, and you will get better." As soon as Sun Boyang finished speaking, all the people became excited and complained to him, crying about the current situation, hoping to take them there too.Seeing this, Sun Boyang could only shake his head helplessly, and with the help and obstruction of Yang Kefu and others, he reluctantly walked out of the crowd and walked towards the rickshaw.

"Let's go, go back to Kasan Street, and go to the Toriask Iron and Steel Plant." Sun Boyang said to the rickshaw driver

"I said good-hearted master, you were really too dangerous just now. To be honest, you must stay away from those rioters. They are not good things. According to the master in the city, they are all hooligans who don't want to pay taxes!" The rickshaw driver worked hard to push the cart, and said to Sun Boyang in the cart.

"Yeah, rioters, hooligans." Sun Boyang propped his head on one hand, looking at the scene on both sides of the street.

"I was also a hooligan in the eyes of those gentlemen in the past." Sun Boyang sighed.

2 factories

"What are you talking about, master, you are not like them, you are a noble person. I heard them yelling, you are the famous master Sun Boyang, right? You are so casual. If other masters come out, they must bring some bodyguards. We need to hire two carriages, one fake and the other real." The rickshaw driver continued to raise the topic while running

"It's not peaceful recently." Sun Boyang seemed to be answering the coachman, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"No, there have been more riots in the Southern Cross Warcraft Forest recently. I heard that several farms on the border were destroyed by monsters, and the goblins were not honest. The king said that he would call an army for an expedition. By then, these rioters You will be conscripted, and you don’t have to worry about these rioters looking ugly on the street.” The coachman replied

"Okay I'm here."

Sun Boyang was not in the mood to continue listening to the coachman's chatter. He waited for the coachman to stop and then walked forward with vigorous steps. There was steam and rumbling sounds everywhere.This is the third year since Sun Boyang was reborn.

He was originally a young man who grew up under the Red Flag, and he was in full bloom, but unfortunately, when a big flood broke out, he who went to rescue him was washed away by the flood in order to save a child, and he arrived here in a blink of an eye.He transmigrated into a rich family. The person he transmigrated was also called Sun Boyang. He was 30 years old and had not yet started a family. He was idle all day long. He was bitten by a venomous Chilian snake while hunting in the wild three years ago. , the doctor and the priest shook their heads, they could only give him a hasty blessing, deal with the wound and then leave, telling his old father that he can only rely on his perseverance to survive now, obviously, the original owner failed to survive, survived It's him.

After that, his father, the factory owner, seemed to "look away" and took the initiative to retire and let his older son take care of the factory. It seemed that in his eyes, his son would not be such a jerk as long as he had something to do.The facts are as expected by the cheap father. Sun Boyang has indeed started to run the steel factory conscientiously. Not only that, but also opened a medical clinic, hotel, furniture store, etc. The old father is very satisfied. Now the only thing he is more worried about is his own. The marriage of the prodigal son.

Sun Boyang knocked on the door, and a strong man appeared vigilantly from behind the iron gate with a long steel stick in his hand. Seeing that Sun Boyang was coming, the strong man immediately went to open the door for Sun Boyang excitedly, and let Sun Boyang come in .

"Odo, what's the matter, did the tax collector come to bother you?" Sun Boyang got in, and the strong man named Odo immediately locked the door again, and looked outside vigilantly again to confirm Only when no one was following him did he catch up with Sun Boyang.

"Master, how dare they, as soon as they entered the factory, we took up the long knives and long guns we had just made to show off. The boys in the workshop are so strong that the tax collector didn't dare to fart, but just lowered his head and said something. Tell Master Sun that I came to look for him, and ran away in despair." Odor laughed.

"Yes, you are right. Don't let my father talk to him. My old father can't help being scared. If the tax collector scares him, he will probably hand it over. You and I will go to the building tomorrow afternoon. I will discuss it with the tax collector." Sun Boyang said with certainty.

"People in the factory are looking forward to your coming, sir, you haven't come to the factory for a few days." Odo continued to say with a smile.

"Okay, Otto, as I said, if you are not in front of people, you should not call me master. You can call me sir, or you can call me comrade... oh no, now is not the time."

When Sun Boyang walked into the workshop, Otto nodded and smiled and called out that Mr. Sun was right and walked back quickly. He wanted to keep guarding the gate to prevent the tax collector and those officials from raiding him.

Sun Boyang stepped into the workshop, and what he saw in front of his eyes was a scene full of enthusiasm. The strong young men worked hard on the assembly line, from casting and welding, to forging into steel blocks, and then using tools to hammer the long strips, sawing off the secondary welding, and producing type, polished.A long knife is quickly assembled at the end of the line, and then the women will put a wooden handle on him, attach a handle, and take it out of the workshop and put it in the warehouse for storage.This is also an industrialized production line. Unlike other knife shops, the knives from the Toryask factory are always of the best quality, and the lords and royal families love them very much. The imperial army only uses this high-quality weapon, and adventurers have a Honor the knife of Toryask.

It took Sun Boyang a lot of effort to manufacture these industrialized tools. It can be said that he devoted a lot of energy to it last year and the year before. Sun Boyang, through continuous adjustment and hard work, finally managed to create an industrialized weapons workshop after employing several magicians. This is simply a depth bomb, and Sun Boyang's daily weapon production is even high After passing the royal family's special weapons workshop, the royal family wanted to win him over for this reason. Recently, it seemed that they were considering giving him a title and bringing him into the royal family's circle.

These assembly lines are Sun Boyang's hard work.The mechanical power in this world is still very backward and still at a primitive level. Thinking of this, Sun Boyang laughed again. Destiny is so impermanent. He happened to be reborn as a guy who had studied doomsday reconstruction training and got full marks in mechanical dynamics and mechanical practice. After coming over, Sun Boyang felt very interesting. If he knew that it was the god who sent him here, he would definitely award that god a medal weighing a ton.

"Master Sun is back!" The person guarding the workshop door shouted to the workers inside. The workers cheered and applauded, expressing their respect and love for Sun Boyang.Is there any reason not to respect this good gentleman?He paid 40 copper coins a month, and rented them a house at a very low price, and lunch was served in the factory. In these years, why didn't they thank Master Sun?

"Be quiet, friends! Workers! Be quiet! Let Mr. Sun speak!" Several bold workers surrounded Sun Boyang and climbed up the stairs together, standing on the stairs two meters above the ground to shout to the workers.

"Uncle, are you back? You haven't come to the factory for a few days, right? I feel like I stink if I'm left here alone..." A girl's voice came from beside Sun Boyang, and Sun Boyang looked sideways, It was a girl in a black robe. Judging by her height and appearance, she seemed to be only about 16 years old. She had long brown curly hair and held a black magic wand in her hand. Her handsome face was full of arrogant expressions. , although it looks small, but it is indeed a beauty embryo.

Sun Boyang wanted to laugh when he saw this child. He remembered that when he first saw this child, he had just graduated from the magician school and had no money to buy a magic wand. It was too stupid.Seeing the pitiful look of the child sitting on the side of the road, Sun Boyang also went into the shop and asked about the price of the wand.The cheapest standard wand actually costs a full 55 silver coins, which is equivalent to 550 copper coins, which is the wages that the workers in the Toryask factory can save for more than a year without eating or drinking.

It's no wonder that this little girl can't afford it. Judging by her clothes, she is probably the child of that little landlord in the country. It is probably thankful that the family sent her to study at the Magic Academy.I guess I plan to wait for her to finish her studies and let her find a high-level magician to marry, so as to find a way out for the family, which is enough to climb up the relationship in the city. Naturally, she will not give her the money to buy a wand and make her really Study magic slightly.Sun Boyang looked at her and pointed to the magic wand. Although the girl wanted it very much, she immediately turned her head and pretended not to care when she saw Sun Boyang's age. Just kidding, this uncle looks older than that magician!

"My factory lacks a magician. What kind of magic do you practice?" Sun Boyang paid the money, brought out the magic wand, and sat on the ground chatting with the girl without disliking the dirt.

"Wind type, and a little bit of fire type, the title is a low-level magician." The girl replied, wiping away her tears.

"In this way, I will pay you sixty copper coins a month, and this and the magic wand will be given to you. How about coming to work in my factory?" Sun Boyang coaxed like a strange sorghum.

"Deal!" The girl stood up happily, snatched the wand, then seemed to remember something and continued, "Let me tell you first, uncle, I'm just going to work, I don't do special services!" The girl said firmly .

"What are you thinking about?" Sun Boyang was choked by the girl's words, coughed twice, and recovered. Just like that, a young girl in her prime was tricked into the factory by the middle-aged monster...

Now the girl really regretted it. Before she came, she thought she was just doing security work, being a bodyguard, and using magic to scare the hooligans.But when she got to work, she found out that her job was to instill wind magic into those strange machines...to ensure the normal operation of those machines...Every day she was so tired that she just wanted to lie on the bed and do nothing after get off work.Many times she even had the idea of ​​going back to the countryside, but when she thought of the ugly face of the magician and the father at home, she felt sick in her heart and decided to stay and continue working.Most of the wages are sent back every month to pay off the money spent in school.

Anyway, the wages are quite high. Ever since she got the low-level peak magician title, that weird sorghum who only knows how to squeeze people has raised her wages to 75 copper coins. Now she can be said to have realized the freedom of wealth.

"I said Shana, you put on a face when you saw Mr. Sun coming back. Mr. Sun was not in the factory for two days, but you asked someone to ask where Mr. Sun went every day. The strong young man wiped the sweat from his brow and said to the magician. The girl teased.

"Nonsense! I was afraid that he would run away without paying his wages! No..." Shana defended palely, her face flushed.

"Okay, okay, Miguchi, don't tease her, she's just a child." Sun Boyang said to the young worker with a smile

"Child? Mr. Sun, my sister was already married when she was her age, and she already has three children." Migaoqi yelled, Shana was about to beat him up in shame, and Migaoqi hurried down Dodging on the stairs, Sun Boyang had no choice but to stop these live treasures and calm down the scene.

"Quiet, fellow workers, I want to say a few things." As soon as Sun Boyang spoke, the whole factory fell silent, and everyone was waiting for Mr. Sun's next words.

3 Interpretation and state of affairs

"Tomorrow there will be a group of new workers, and they will spread out to join your line. Migaoqi, you should be tired and bring a few more new workers so that they can adapt as soon as possible." Sun Boyang said to Migaoqi beside him .

"No problem sir, it would be even better if a few more female workers come to our line." Mi Gaoqi bent over and said to Sun Boyang.

"Ah, by the way, you mentioned the issue of female workers, which reminded me, and I was about to talk about it." Sun Boyang leaned on the railing with one hand, scanning the workers below with a serious expression.

"I received such a letter. The letter was placed directly at my door. The handwriting was not written by our workers. It was probably written by ghostwriters. I didn't expect the workers in our factory to have money to hire someone to be a ghostwriter." Sun Boyang said from his coat. He took out a yellowed paper and read it to everyone. "The letter said why the female workers in the factory can get the same wages as the male workers. Does this mean that the male workers can reduce their efficiency to the same level as the female workers, and still get the current wages." Sun Boyang showed the letter in his hand to everyone, The workers instantly became angry and whispered to each other.

"Get him out!" shouted a sturdy worker, waving a hammer in his hand.

"Yes, let him get out and confront us face to face!" A female worker also stood up with arms akimbo, her face full of anger.They all had red armbands pinned to their cuffs.

"Be quiet, workers, be quiet." Sun Boyang waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued.

"I don't care if it's someone from the outside trying to influence unity, or it's actually written by our internal workers. This kind of thinking is very wrong. Female workers may not have the strength and endurance of male workers, but they are also exerting their strength. My own important role, the knives and spears produced by our second workshop are to be sent to the third workshop for fine carving and modification, so as to be sold to those rich people. The workers in the third workshop have six There are female workers in Chengdu, and their work efficiency is no worse than that of the male workers in the workshop, and the number of pieces they produce every day is even higher than that of the male workers there.”

Sun Boyang organized the language and tried to explain in words that everyone can understand. "Perhaps in this workshop, the work of the female workers is easier, but I want everyone to remember, who is doing the storage and inspection of the warehouse? Female workers. Who is doing the cleaning after work every day? Female workers Many of us have wives and work in factories, so I would like to ask, who is responsible for the hygiene of the family after get off work?"

The workers in the other two workshops heard that Mr. Sun was back, so they all ran over and surrounded the workshop to listen to Mr. Sun's speech. Everyone was very angry when they heard this, and they started talking about it. Such a letter!

"Migaoqi, organize it tomorrow and find a few workers who are not very active in their work to experience the work of female workers. It doesn't matter if they are not very motivated. Find a few workers in literacy classes and let everyone take a look at the work of female workers. The work is not easy." Sun Boyang said to Mi Gaoqi.

"No problem, sir." Migaoqi nodded, and was about to point people down. Several workers with red armbands raised their hands first, indicating that they could do it.

"Okay, then... Anton, Valentin, Yegor, tomorrow you go to the female workers' place, work with them, and show everyone." Mikochi pointed to the three strong young men below and said .

"I think it must be that someone outside is jealous. The workers in the factory would never say such a thing. Everyone is sensible." Mi Gaoqi said to Sun Boyang next to him.

The workers below also nodded. They also felt that no one would say such a thing. Just kidding. Everyone is a serious worker. They also see the hard work of the female workers. Such words are definitely not working in the factory. People can tell, many of them have wives who also work here, which is a hard-to-find treatment, and it is rare to recruit female workers.

"Okay, let's talk about it like this. Do you have any dissatisfaction with the system in our factory? If you have any complaints, please raise them as soon as possible, and we will resolve them through discussion." Sun Boyang saw that the workers below were very understanding. With a sigh of relief in my heart, I smiled and said to everyone.Xindao really thought that some people outside the factory were not pleasing to the eye, and wanted him to be "stricter". He was also worried that the workers really wrote it. If so, it can only be said that the work of the literacy class is too failure up.Fortunately, he looks like a middle-aged man now. If he was a young man, everyone would definitely not accept him.Thinking of this, Sun Boyang stroked the beard on his chin.

"We are not dissatisfied, master! You are the best master, we are willing to work for you for the rest of your life, and never leave!" A worker who looked older said excitedly.

"Haha, don't call me master, it sounds too old and not nice." Sun Boyang said tactfully.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. The weather has begun to turn cold. For the efficiency of the factory, from tomorrow onwards, each worker will go to the warehouse to collect enough coal to take home. It will be distributed once a month, Adelina. You go to coordinate with the female workers in the warehouse, calculate the amount of coal, and make sure that every worker can get it." Sun Boyang said to the strong female worker of aunt's age who just walked up and wore a headscarf.

No problem sir, I will share it fairly. "Auntie patted her chest and promised

"Then there is nothing else to do?" Sun Boyang was about to walk down the stairs and leave.

"Mage, uncle, you forgot about us again." Shana pouted resentfully and asked

"Yes, go to my office in the afternoon, and I will give you subsidies for purchasing magic potions this month. You have worked hard." Sun Boyang reached out and patted Shana's head to confirm.
