Daming Military Empire

Chapter 627 Breaking into a New World

Zhang Yiwan can't remember exactly what meat tastes like. It doesn't mean that he has no money and can't afford meat, but he is reluctant to buy it. The money he earns is used to buy a dowry for his younger sister, build a house for his younger brother, and buy meat. Household utensils are not enough, how can I have spare money to buy meat.

He can't remember the last time he ate meat. It seems to be when his second brother married a wife. White flour buns and pickles are already delicious in his eyes. Meat is too luxurious. It's not that he doesn't like it. He likes to eat, but he dare not think about it. Usually, he just drinks some batter and eats sesame seed cakes. He rarely drinks porridge, because rice is also more expensive than rough noodles.

Maybe he, like Luo Zongshan, has the dream of eating meat every day when he is rich. Now it seems that the wages are the same everywhere, and there are white flour buns and meat here, why not go there?

He couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he squeezed in without hesitation and signed up. Soon, he and ten fellow villagers who signed up followed a guard, crossed the overpass, passed through A few corridors lead to another train station.

There are a lot of trains in this train station, but all of them are trucks, and there is no passenger car. He has been on the train for more than ten days. What are you doing here, are you starting to work now?

He didn't have a problem with when to start working. The sooner he started working, the sooner he would make money. He even vaguely looked forward to it, hoping to start working right away.

However, he was disappointed. The Tunwei led them to turn left and right in the pile of trucks, and finally came to a truck. They all stood for a dozen or so, without doing anything, just standing there straight.

The Tunwei who led the way reported a few words to the masters of a hundred households, then took them outside the first carriage, and directly ordered: "Put them in the carriage first, and those who want to sleep can go in and sleep, and those who don't want to sleep sit down." You can do it inside, you can squat outside, don’t go too far, I’m not responsible for getting lost.”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back, seemingly continuing to pick up other people.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yiwan climbed into the carriage with a few fellow villagers. It wasn't that he had any luggage. He only had two changes of clothes and carried them on his back with a piece of rag. They didn't weigh much at all. Same, he just wanted to see what it looked like inside the truck.

He climbed up and took a look, he was stunned, there was a floor of straw mats inside, I don't know how many pieces there were, except for a narrow passage in the middle, the straw mats on both sides were half a foot high!
Just as he was standing there in a daze, there was a sudden humming sound from the dark corner in front of him, and everyone couldn't help but look around. There was a pig cage in the innermost corner, and a dozen white piglets were inside it. Back and forth.

The little piggy was bought for food, right? Everyone couldn't help but gather around curiously and began to discuss it.

There are more and more people coming in outside, and the inside of the carriage is getting more and more lively. Everyone comes from Nanyang Mansion, Runing Mansion and Ruzhou. It can be said that they are all fellow villagers, and there is not much difference between each other. With the longing for a better life, there are naturally many common topics to talk about, and the most talked about is coal mining.

In everyone's impression, mining coal is to drill into a deep coal well, dig one hoe at a time, and then pick up a load of loads. It is not impossible to dig two or three thousand catties a day, mainly depending on the depth of the mine and the The distance of the distance, as long as the mine is not deep, and the place where the coal is delivered is also close. If you dig for six or seven hours a day, you can still dig out two to three thousand catties.

Everyone chatted for about an hour, and the Tunwei outside also climbed up. It seemed that there was also the Lord Qianhu who had been yelling on the platform. As soon as he came in, he yelled again: "Everyone, sit still, drive now up."

This truck compartment is also about the same size as a passenger car compartment. If it is squeezed hard, it will not be a problem to squeeze in 150 people, but now there are not even [-] people in it, and the space is still very loose. Everyone squeezes in and all lie down. No problem.

The truck finally moved slowly, and the chatter of everyone became quieter. After the excitement of newcomers passed, many people chose to lie down and sleep. After all, they had been on the bus for more than ten days, and there was no place to lie down on the bus. They all slept on their stomachs or on their backs. It would be a lie to say that they were not tired. Soon, a large area of ​​the carriage was lying down, and the snoring was louder than the friction between the wheels and the rails.

Zhang Yiwan was also very tired. Soon, like everyone else, he lay back, squeezed into the crowd, and fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yiwan was called out in a daze, saying that he had arrived.

He wasn't very hungry yet, it should have been less than half a day, he stretched himself, pulled himself together, and got out of the car behind everyone.

The sky was just a little gloomy, and it seems that it should not be until Xu time. This is a station without walls or gates. After getting off the train, everyone was quickly gathered together. Excluding the recruiting guards, there were still about [-] people left. human appearance.

They followed behind those guards, and soon came to a row of huge brick buildings. Layers of terraced fields could be seen in the distance, and a huge ground-turning dragon was parked on it, which seemed to be cultivated land. , In the gloomy sky, everyone didn't notice that the ground was full of black coals.

Zhang Yiwan originally thought that these tall brick and tile buildings were the residences of the guards, but he never thought that these guards would directly bring them in. There are five people in one room, a Datong shop, wardrobes, tables, and benches. There are huts!
If they were already surprised by five people living in a huge room, the dinner that followed surprised them even more. A basin of white flour buns, a basin of stewed meat, and a dish of vegetables were delivered directly to each room. , when did vegetables become a garnish, and pork became a main dish?
That big pot of pork probably weighed more than ten catties, enough for five people to eat!
This meal, everyone is addicted to pork, everyone is full, and the next thing is to sleep, the hot kang is burning, covered with brand-new quilts, this early winter night, it is warm and comfortable. Like a summer night!
Zhang Ten Wan slept this night, it was delicious. Pork can be eaten in large chunks. He can eat as much as he wants. He feels that he has never been full like this in his life. It seems that he chose to dig here. The coal is chosen correctly, at least food and housing are infinitely better than those at home.

Early the next morning, I finally started working. Everyone was accompanied by a guard who led them to get a dump truck and a shovel, and went straight to the terraced fields.

At this time, the earth-reversing dragon was already rumbling forward. When everyone walked in, they realized that there was no soil on the ground, it was full of coal!
