Liu San has heard people mention the word "world" many times in the past few months.

For him, this word is actually difficult to understand at this time.

What is the world in the village and community?

They know that the world is big, but they don’t know how big the world is. And many people may not have left the village and community thirty miles away in their lifetime.

Thirty miles of heaven, thirty miles of land, and thirty miles of people, salt transported from very far away places, plus stars, moon, and sun, constitute the entire world in their eyes.

After Mozhe started to enter the village community, he went from being a little lazy at the core and didn't like to farm the fields, so he wanted to see what the world looked like.

He thought there are always people in the world who can live without farming.

He had met, for example, the owner of the original fiefdom of the village community, the sergeant of the Chu State.

The sergeant didn't have to work, at least he didn't have to plow the fields, and the family would be filled with endless food.

He once thought the Mo family was the same, but he did not expect that the Mo family did not send another sergeant to occupy the fiefdom, but instead divided the fiefdom and told him that there were many ways to survive without farming in the outside world.

But it all requires labor.

In a daze, Liu San has gradually accepted the saying that wealth comes from labor in the past few months, and he is very convinced of the Mohist saying that "workers occupy the wealth created by labor."

But they are all labor, but they are different.

In the past few days, I have seen many strange things, such as railway tracks, coal-burning machines, and coal. But he felt that although such labor was not plowing the fields, it was not what he liked.

He didn't know what he wanted to do, because he didn't know how many industries there were in the world, so he couldn't choose or even imagine it.

So he opened his eyes wide and observed everything he could observe, wanting to find a career he thought he would like, and may be able to do it in the future.

A few days later, their company was moved again.

Several companies next door were arranged to dig trenches, one connecting the waterway from the Yangtze River to Eyi, and the other was also to build a farmland area that could be irrigated in the future.

Looking at those who were waving shovels to dig the river, someone told him that there were people in Si who made a living by doing this.

It is not about serving, but someone is hired to dig rivers, and the daily income can be exchanged for about twenty kilograms of wheat.

Liu San shook his head secretly and thought to himself that this is not what he wants to do, even if it is not plowing the fields.

The village community has begun to use new weights and measures. Liu San knew the concept of jin and was shocked by the fact that the money earned from working on Si for a day can be exchanged for twenty jin of wheat.

The former village and community members worked for a year, but they were afraid that there would be no food left. In his opinion, digging rivers could be done by a man, but they could actually get twenty kilograms of wheat every day. This really made him understand the wealth of Si Shang.

But he is now serving voluntarily, but there are not so many.

In his heart, he secretly recorded the number of twenty kilograms of wheat every day, and he followed his company to leave here.

A few days later, they came to a wasteland, and several people were looking at the distance with something that seemed extremely strange to Liu San. He didn't know what it was, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to do that kind of life.

The work assigned by the company was something they could do, and it looked a bit like building a city. When he was in the village, he was called by the fief's owner to dig soil and build the fence of the fief's wall.

In the distance, many people in the same military uniform as him were pushing wheelbarrows and piled up soil on the road that looked a little. Many people behind them were pulling heavy stone mills and rolling them on them.

"Is this going to build a city?"

He asked the company commander, and the company commander said no, but was just building roads. Then they assigned their task to go to a stone field in the distance to carry stones. They must complete the quantity every day. There will be a reward for excess completion, but this money will not be distributed for the time being, because even if it is distributed here, it will not be spent. And even if you go to the city, you can't buy anything at this time, especially if everyone wants to buy things.

Liu San trusted what the company commander said, and everyone in the company trusted him because they were sure that a Mo family who divided the land without occupying the best fiefdoms would not keep their word.

As for what these stones are used for, he didn't ask.

After arriving at the stone yard, everyone carried a willow basket on their backs. As soon as they received it, they heard a few explosions like thunder.

He had used a medlin gun and knew the existence of gunpowder, but he didn't expect such a loud sound.

The gravel was flying, and he thought it could really blow up the mountain.

Those who exploded the mountain were dressed in different clothes from them, indigo blue, and had some weird hats on their heads to distinguish them.

Later, Liu San learned that these stone-fried people were all mobilized from Si Shang because the gunpowder they used was not the black gunpowder, but another type.

Those who tell this story may know, but Liu San cannot know what the things he said are. He can only vaguely think that this explosive seems to be related to some alkali and soap-making workshops in Si, but he will not know much about it.

When he went back to wash his hair, he looked at the soap he gave away curiously, thinking how could this thing be associated with the explosion?

Then he watched the soap bubbles floating on the water slowly shatter, and he felt as if he understood something, but in fact he didn't understand anything at all.

He and the company carried stones for more than half a month, and finally realized that carrying stones was really used to build roads. These stones were piled on the flat and compact roads, and then some wood was laid on them.

These woods were transported from the forest not far away, and there was a hydraulic sawing workshop next to them.

After laying these woods, they placed the long iron called rails that they had loaded and unloaded by the riverside on the woods.

Liu Sanxin said that he could finally see what kind of car could run on this road.

While curious, he gradually adapted to this kind of life. Although he was tired every day, he could rest for one and a half days every ten days, and he had to listen to lecture notes and read literacy for the remaining half of the day.

You can eat enough every day, although you don’t eat well. Every ten days of rest, there is no place to go nearby. Many people will run into the woods to release their long-lasting lust. It is not embarrassing to understand each other.

There are almost no women nearby, some women also have husbands, and there are no camp prostitutes in the Mo family army, so this is the only way.

During the break, he asked curiously the people in charge of bombing mountains, how much money can they make every day?

The other party gave a number, which could earn about 80 kilograms of wheat every day, and when he came out of Chu, he had to give more.

Liu San couldn't help but be tempted and asked him how he could do such a job. The other party said that he had to read, and had to go to a special school to learn some basics after elementary school, and he still needed one month to train. Then the other party clearly told Liu San that he had no chance.

The other party also told Liu San that this kind of work is very dangerous and easy to get into trouble, so the salary is high. However, they are affiliated with the public. If they are disabled, the superiors will pay money to support them until they die. If they can live until they are fifty, they can retire.

Liu San asked, what is retirement? The other party thought about it and said that he had no need to work but had money to spend.

This answer surprised him and wondered what Si Shang looked like. Before leaving, he couldn't help asking: "You can buy 80 kilograms of wheat every day. Is there so much wheat on Si Shang?"

The other party replied with a smile: "There is not that much wheat, but there are cotton cloth, purlin, pottery, iron pot, wooden table, silk... It is impossible for all of these money to buy wheat."

He had seen the Window of the Lin and had envied the iron pots in the grocery store, but he had never seen many things like pottery that I had just heard of.

He thought he should meet him. After retiring, he would do what he wanted to do, make a lot of money and buy a lot of things.

Then the other person told him a very inspiring story, saying that there was a man in Si who started carrying a stone and saved money bit by bit. Later, he finally opened his own workshop. He also solemnly told Liu San that as long as he worked hard, he could get rich.

This story saves the most important point.

There is indeed such a person, but the money he used to run a workshop was not carried by carrying a stone, but after carrying the stone, he went to the South China Sea to sell long-term workers.

After hiding the most important part, after simplifying it, there is a perfect set of rhetoric: labor creates wealth, and as long as you work hard, you will have the opportunity to get rich, so you must work hard.

Those workshop owners must be hardworking, smart and capable than others, otherwise why can they make a fortune?

This principle sounds like nothing wrong, so Liu Sanhuai, with such a dream, received military pocket money that could buy half a kilo of candy every month, began to live a life of desperately carrying stones in exchange for a meager salary. During the rest, he followed the military night school to learn literacy and arithmetic all day long, and kept his tongue and learned the language of Si Shang.

Not long after, this road connecting Eyi's coal mine and iron mine was finally completed.

Liu San saved some money and got some psychological satisfaction when he finished the road - someone said that this is beneficial to the world.

He finally saw the carriage running on it, and saw the carriage under the clamping method of pulling the previously unimaginable coals on this iron road.

He thought that the two horses were pulled faster than the previous six or seven horses, so that's how it was.

He asked the company commander from Si, are there many such railway tracks on Si?
