After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Alan grew up eating at many different houses, just like Xiaohu. Neither of them has a surname, and most of them worked in different places when they were young.

Alan originally wanted to become an apprentice to learn a skill and make a living from it, but he ended up encountering a disaster.

He was kicked out halfway through his carpentry studies.

After Alan arrived in Huang County, he only heard those majestic soldiers say that they were going to go mining.

Alan had seen people who had signed slave contracts and were sent to the salt fields, where they were starved of food and cold.

At first he was reluctant to go to what they called the coal mine.

Some of the migrant soldiers were unwilling to do so and stood up to resist. Soon they were taken away by the soldiers to another mining area.

So Alan stayed.

Working here is not as scary as the illegal workers rumored in the salt fields.

They only need to work eight hours a day, saying it is a nine-to-five policy, and there is time for lunch break in between.

Mining also requires tools, not bare hands.

On the first day of mining, Alan had the fullest meal he had had in all those months.

He is only sixteen years old and in the period of growth. He has never had a full meal. After eating three meals a day, Alan has no thought of running away at all.

By the next day, Alan had adapted to the mining life and became more and more skilled in his work.

When he was a migrant soldier before, he was half-hungry and half-full. At least in this week, Alan has been able to eat enough.

The miners' daily work is repetitive and boring. In order to keep them motivated to work, Mu Qing specially arranged instructors for the miners.

The instructor is both the person who looks after the miners and the scorekeeper.

There are fifty people in a team, and five teams form a group. Within a week, the team that mines the most in a group will have a chance to eat meat, and the instructor is responsible for the statistics.

In addition, the teachers would teach some common words to the miners in the form of storytelling every night.

This is not Saint Mother Mu Qing. Those who committed serious mistakes among this group of refugee soldiers were isolated separately, and the rest were those who joined the refugee army just to get a bite to eat.

Mu Qing didn't mind those migrant soldiers who showed positive attitude to redeem themselves.

Mu Qing thought about literacy for a long time. After Huang County started to carry out literacy campaigns in the form of newspaper stories, Mu Qing implemented it among the miners without hesitation.

The stories told by teachers are generally of an educational nature.

For example, "Song of the Peasants" teaches people to cherish food; "Sit by the Tree and Wait for the Rabbit" teaches people not to get something for nothing.

There are also fables such as "playing the instrument to fill in the gaps" and "stealing the bell while covering one's ears".

In this way, we can not only keep their enthusiasm for work, but also change their thinking through what they see and hear.

In general, the purpose is to make these migrant soldiers mine honestly.

Alan really likes this kind of life where he can have enough food and listen to stories. He has never been able to read, but he didn't expect that he could learn a few words here.

After hearing so many stories these days, Alan can gradually write his own name.

"Xiao Hu, it would be nice if this kind of life could continue forever."

"Do you want to mine here for the rest of your life?" Xiaohu looked at Alan in surprise.

Ah Lan did not answer Xiao Hu's question and silently lowered his head:

"I want to have a full meal."

Xiaohu was silent as he listened to Alan's words. Mining life was boring, but such a life was even better than when they were apprentices.

Xiaohu is bolder than Alan. He wanted to escape, but after hearing what Alan said, he hesitated.

"In fact, you can think even more boldly and become a free citizen. The instructor said that miners who behave well and actively participate in labor reform will have the opportunity to reduce the number of years of labor reform."

Xiaohu put down the bowl and said this to Alan as well as to himself:

"If we work harder, maybe the ten-year sentence won't take that long."

"The people outside Huang County should live better. We strive to become free people and have enough food to eat."

"it is good."

The migrant soldiers who were mining these days were well fed and well clothed (they all wore labor camp uniforms), and they seemed to be reluctant to leave Huang County.

They had never experienced such a life. Although it was mining, the fact that they could have enough food was enough to make them loyal to Huang County.

Now most people no longer think about escaping, but work actively to strive for a reduction in sentence.

Mu Qing was happy to see the changes in the militia.

After the county school in Huang County was opened, more people came to study.

By posting newspapers and publishing some short stories in public notice areas to educate the people, the residents of Huang County finally started a strong literacy trend.

The propaganda about gender equality has begun to show miraculous effects. Now literate women can find a good job in Huangxian.

In mid-November, as Huang County was vigorously carrying out literacy campaign, the first batch of hybrid rice planted in Huang County was harvested.

The sales volume of fertilizer produced by the fertilizer factory as a commodity increased month by month. When Mu Qing first promoted hybrid rice, except for officials, no ordinary people dared to replace millet and beans with hybrid rice.

But as the effectiveness of the soil and fertilizer became apparent, the people who came to work in the official fields watched the rice grow rapidly day by day. By November, the rice ears were not only full, but also plentiful.

Many people have begun to regret not exchanging old grain for rice seeds.

Rice harvesting begins on this day.

There are also some areas in Guantian that were once wastelands but have been developed into rice planting bases, and people have been waiting for this for a long time.

Today, those participating in the rice harvest include not only the people who come to work, but also many Huangxian residents who volunteered to help.

The people of Huang County have always been grateful to the county magistrate and the officials of Huang County in their hearts.

Today, Guantian is harvesting rice, so they all wanted to come and help.

Mu Qing did not expect that so many people would come to help. There were so many that the farmland that was supposed to take three days to harvest was suddenly taken up by the people who came to help today.

Finished in one day.

However, accounts must still be settled. Mu Qing still had people count the number of people who came to help today and paid their wages.

They were embarrassed to come for dinner, so Mu Qing appropriately increased their wages for that day.

This time, most of Huang County’s labor force was mobilized, and the people of Huang County all witnessed the grand spectacle of a bumper rice harvest.

In an instant, the discussion about rice became a hot topic.
