Chapter 62 Rectifying the Mine Point

Dongye Town is very small, and the residents have basically run out of it. Only a few iron furnaces are still in production. It's really nothing to look good. However, Xiao Tianjian found that a lot of iron ore and coal are piled up here. However, with the current ironmaking furnace, it is far from consuming so much ore, and the iron production will definitely not go up. This also shows that mining has exceeded the consumption of iron and smelting for ores. If it goes on like this, more and more ores will be mined, which will cause a waste of human and material resources. In a short time, this problem must be solved and the iron production will rise significantly.

Before Xiao Tianjian left Dongye Town, the old stove had begun to take his two sons and more than a dozen furnaces extracted from several other iron furnaces. He began to check that several of them had been abandoned in Dongye Town, but basically maintained a relatively good ironmaking furnace, and began to repair several of them as soon as possible. In order to be put back into production, as for the manpower of ironmaking craftsmen in the future, Xiao Tianjian will be responsible for solving it.

After Xiao Tianjian left Dongye Town, he non-stop toured three mining sites near Dongye Town. There were already three or four hundred miners here. Although he ran a batch during the change of rights, Xiao Tianjian later sent one or two hundred prisoners to re-education through labor. Now the number of miners has reached nearly 500, and the output The amount of iron ore has exceeded the consumption of local ironmaking furnaces.

And this situation is not very good. Even if Xiao Tianjian does business with people in the future, he will not export iron ore and earn iron profits after others are trained into iron. Therefore, the output of the mining industry must be linked to their ironmaking industry. The ore output should not be too large, and it is okay to slightly exceed the amount of iron refining. It can be transported to Shuangfengzhai as a strategic reserve, but it can't exceed too much. In terms of their current manpower, a large amount of iron ore can't be digested, which can only cause a waste of manpower. At present, he can't afford to do so.

So after inspecting several mining sites and asking about the daily output of these mining sites, combined with the current situation of the iron furnace in Dongye Town, he transferred some of the miners here to Dongye Town to specialize in iron smelting. In this way, the two aspects basically reached a relatively suitable balance.

At present, the amount of labor of iron ore miners is indeed very large. They all rely on manual mining. With a small candle on their heads, they drill into the mine, dig down the iron ore with picks little by bit, and then carry it out basket by basket with manpower. The amount of labor is huge, and it is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will risk it. Once a person is covered in it, there is no need to think about what comes out alive. This is not only the situation of iron ore, but also some coal kilns nearby, so dry miners basically work with knives on their heads, and no one knows how long they can live.

When Xiao Tianjian was on patrol, he also contacted some miners and asked them about their situation. The miners were very happy that Xing Tianjun took over their place during this period. At least they could finally eat two full meals every day, and no matter whether they ate well or not, at least mixed noodles. Pickles are basically full. Compared with the time when Zhao Datong was in charge of this place, the guy didn't treat them at all. Every day, there is some vegetable porridge. Everyone has a small miscellaneous bread, not to mention that he is full, even if he hangs his life, it's good. Now after Xing Tianjun takes over here, the current group The food conditions have improved a lot. In the first few days, they also had a bone soup, which made the miners here very happy.

And some of the prisoners sent to reform-through-labor are not very satisfied with the situation here. They think it is too dangerous to work here, and the food is not as good as when they were under the three murderers in Yangcheng before, and it is too strict here, and it is very tiring to work, so people If you are not stable, you will want to escape, or you will be passively lazy and incite others to make trouble, and those miners who work here are not allowed to work hard.

For these prisoners, the people of Xing Tianjun are not polite. In addition to allowing them to eat on time, all of them are strictly monitored. They eat, drink and sleep, and they are militarized, and they are very strict. After all, their identities are different from ordinary miners. No matter how strict, some of them will take advantage of them. The plane escapes or makes trouble.

For this reason, the guards who guarded them have beheaded several trouble-making guys here in a row, which can be regarded as how much they can suppress their arrogance.

After thinking about it, Xiao Tianjian figured out that he was a little too simple to think about things at the beginning. It is not good for these labor reformers to mix with these ordinary miners. For labor reformers, the freedom of the miners is something they can't expect, so it's strange not to make trouble.

So he ordered the largest mine to be designated as the prison of their Xing Tianjun, and transferred the original miners here to other mining sites, or assigned to work in the iron furnace of Dongye Town. Only all the prisoners were left here, and the prisoners of other mining sites were transferred here to serve their sentences. A labor camp was set up to monitor the labor of these workers.

In this way, it is much more convenient for the guards to supervise these reform-through-labor prisoners. At the same time, other mining sites have also reduced the number of supervision personnel. There are only two or three people left to manage the mining sites. They are responsible for remembering work or distributing wages to the miners, arranging cooking and other things, so that when managing these mining sites, It's also much more convenient.

In addition, Xiao Tianjian also asked the personnel responsible for a mine to pay attention to the safety in the mine as much as possible. It is better to sacrifice a little mining speed, and to ensure the personal safety of the miners as much as possible. The roadway should be used to support wood, which should not be used less at all. Under the premise of ensuring safety, mining operations should be carried out.

At the same time, through this inspection of the mine site, Xiao Tianjian also found a problem. Obviously, there are some of these miners who do not work and only want to go to the mine. They come out to eat. They belong to the indiscriminate number of miners, and these people are also secretly ganging to interfere with people who work hard under the mine. Bullying those honest miners is, to put it bluntly, they are the miners on the mine.

For these people, Xiao Tianjian naturally would not be soft. He immediately sent people down and secretly visited them. In a few days, he found a batch of such miners in each mine, and directly filled them into the labor reform team and went to the mine with those prisoners.

This can make this group of miners miserable. Although they are usually among the miners, no one dares to provoke them. When they go to the mine, it is their world. Everyone has to listen to them, but when these guys are stuffed into the labor reform team, they completely become a vulnerable group.

Who are the people in the labor reform team? Those are all mountain thieves who have killed people with a knife before. These so-called mine bullies are not the opponents of these guys at all. When they go down to the mine, they can only listen to others. Moreover, each group of people go to the mine. There is a quota in the labor reform team. They can't help but not work. If the mine is not enough, it will come out. They came to be punished by corporal punishment and not allowed to eat. This time, these mining bullies were unlucky. After arriving here, they all came down honestly.

For the miners on other ordinary mines, it is impossible to eat a big pot of rice, so Xiao Tianjian gathered the new miners of these mines and said to them, "In the past few days, I turned down the mine and found a bad phenomenon, that is, people here are passive and lazy, waiting to fool around. The situation of eating! Do you think I'm wrong?"

Several miners nodded and said yes, but they also expressed helplessness, because Xiao Tianjian told them before sending them that they should not beat and scold these miners often. They should try to be as good to the miners as possible. Otherwise, they would ask them. Now they find that someone is slowing off and dare not easily beat and scold them. So the situation is getting more and more serious now. They can't beat and scold each other, so there is no good way to solve this problem.

"Ha ha! I'll tell you a way to make sure you don't have to solve this problem! That is to link the ore output with their treatment at each mine, divide the mine into classes, first select a high-trust monitor to lead the class, and assign manpower to them first. After a period of time, they are allowed to combine freely and weigh and measure the amount of ore they produce. Whoever produces more ore, whoever eats it, and whoever produces it. If there is less ore, the food is poor. Every month, whoever produces more ores will have more ores. In addition to getting the full amount of wages, there are also other rewards. For those who do the least, those who should deduct the wages will deduct the wages. In this way, everything is very fair. If anyone has complaints, let him come to me for Xiao's theory! I don't believe that there are still people who dare to sleep lazily and eat and wait for death!

As long as those team leaders are given the right to freely combine their subordinates, those who are lazy and do not work at that time will naturally no one will want it. Let's see what else they can do! Humph!" Xiao Tianjian talked stalkingly.

These miners who were recruited suddenly became overjoyed. As soon as Xiao Tianjian said this, they immediately understood the truth. If they follow Xiao Tianjian's method, they really don't have to worry about someone being lazy and waiting to come out to eat.

After Xiao Tianjian ordered this method, it began to be implemented in various mining sites the next day. As soon as the miners heard it, the lazy people in the past were suddenly dumbfounded, while the people who worked steadily were overjoyed. They no longer have to be unbalanced in their hearts in the future. They work more, eat well, do less and eat less. No one farts.

On the first day of the trial, the output of each mine has doubled. Originally, a class of mine could only produce 1,800 catties, but now it can produce at least 1,000 catties. What's more, one class produces 2,000 catties of ore, which makes the miners who were sent to manage the mine crooked. They all admire Xiao Tianjian. This method works, and I admire Xiao Tianjian even more.
