Tang Ping hasn't been to the Special Administrative Region for a long time. He first went back to modern times, and when he came back he was busy solving the strange bronze monument incident in Chang'an.
I finally got free time today, and Li Guangbi said that the new homes here were basically built, so Tang Ping planned to come over.
First, we agreed to treat everyone to a housewarming party.
Secondly, there is the issue of future work for so many people.
Nowadays, the residents of the special zone are not short of food and clothing, but to put it bluntly, these expenses are borrowed from Tang Ping.
Deep down, they were still a little panicked, because after the new house was built, they thought they would have no source of income again.
As a result, Tang Ping was shocked as soon as he arrived outside the special zone.
The entire special zone is surrounded by a wall.
This is not surprising. This is done to facilitate management and to increase security.
After all, this land originally belonged to the wilderness. With such an outer wall, everyone felt a lot more at ease.
The strange thing is that there are a lot of big characters written on the wall now.
The wall on the left side of the gate reads "Work hard for a month to build an ideal new home!"
The wall on the right side of the gate reads "Roll up your sleeves and work harder, so that the whole family can have enough to eat!"
If he hadn't been sure that he had returned to the Tang Dynasty, Tang Ping would have even thought that he was outside some new rural area.
"Duke Pingguo is here!"
After receiving the news, Li Guangbi responded, and Tang Ping was stunned again.
In fact, this guy was wearing a set of work clothes that he originally distributed to the villagers in Shanghe Village.
You can't buy clothes like this, but this guy has a sweet mouth and has a good relationship with Lao Cui and Wang Tieniu of Shanghe Village. It's not surprising that he can dress like this.
What's strange is the way he wears it. The top of his overalls is tucked into the waistband of his trousers. On one side of the waistband is a walkie-talkie that he gave him for easy communication, and on the other side is a copper kettle.
how to say? Li Guangbi was like this, even if he went to the modern village chief, he would have to light cigarettes for him.
Tang Ping held back his laughter and asked, "Xiao Lizi, what kind of look do you have?"
"Hey, Lord Ping, does he look okay? Let me tell you, men, after you are twenty, you have to mature a little!" As he said this, he deliberately pushed out the general's belly that did not exist.
The walkie-talkie and copper kettle hanging on his waist also swayed.
Since Li Guangbi wanted to do it himself, Tang Ping couldn't say anything more. He was free to dress freely.
He pointed to the big characters on the wall and asked, "Who did this?"
"It was done by villains!" Li Guangbi said with a look of asking for credit: "I feel that with these words written on this wall, those who usually come to our special zone to deliver materials can see our spiritual outlook. In their own village, People who see it will be more motivated to work!”
Nowadays, not to mention other places in the Tang Dynasty, just around Chang'an, the literacy rate of basic characters is really not low, and people in the Tang Dynasty who really come and go can understand these characters.
But this is not the point. The point is how did Li Guangbi come up with it?
Tang Ping once again wondered whether this guy was a time traveler like himself.
"What should you do when you encounter a red light when crossing the road?"
"Ah? Red light? Lord Ping, why are there red lights on the road?"
Well, I feel like this guy doesn’t want to be just faking it. I can only say... the history is surprisingly similar? Is it a... circle?
Arriving at the gate of the special zone, there is a specially built guard room with several tough veterans inside.
Of course he is said to be a veteran, but in fact he is only in his thirties.
When they saw Tang Ping coming, they all punched their chests and shouted, "I've seen Duke Ping!"
Tang Ping, the duke, had military exploits, and the people in the army valued these the most.
"How are you doing here?"
"Hehe, it's pretty good!" said an old soldier: "Every day there are people making food, good food, good housing, everything is good!"
"Isn't that right? There is a big girl who likes you, how about that?"
Another person beside him said teasingly.
The man's dark face suddenly became even darker. He wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only hum.
"Hahaha, this is a good thing!" Tang Ping patted him on the shoulder: "As long as you don't have to force yourself, it's your ability to let other girls like you."
Many of these old soldiers followed Li Shimin to conquer this country, but many of them are bachelors.
If they could find a wife here, Tang Ping would certainly not object.
"No need to force it, the big girl is so tough!"
The people of the Northland are originally strong and fierce, so it is normal.
"Okay, if it happens another day, remember to treat me to a drink. Then I can contact Lao Cui and Lao Du and let me know!"
Talking and laughing, Tang Ping walked into the special zone.
The original shantytowns no longer exist, replaced by rows of double-story buildings.
There is a garden on the ground floor, and there is also a garden on the top floor of the floor above.
There is no way, if every house has a small yard like that, this land really can't accommodate so many people.
So in the end, Tang Ping and the others could only use this design plan, so that both the people living upstairs and those living downstairs could still have their own small piece of land.
Although land annexation was not serious in the early Tang Dynasty, it was difficult to find so much new farmland around Chang'an for these people.
This was how the special economic zones came to be. This group of people would be the first landless factory workers in the Tang Dynasty. However, in order to give them some psychological comfort, a small garden was left for each of their families.
Nowadays, many people are planting things in small gardens in front of their homes or on their roofs.
"Look, Mr. Ping Guo, this is Liu Dashi's house. His children like to eat carrots, so he planted some carrots."
"As for the one upstairs, it's Wang Da's family. He's lazy, so he threw some pepper seeds in the ground."
Li Guangbi is really like the director of the village committee. Not only does he know who lives in each family, but he also knows what they plant.
"Little Lizi, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean I'm lazy? I just like spicy oil but thought it was too expensive, so I grew it myself!"
A man with diarrhea came out from upstairs. When he saw Tang Ping following Li Guangbi, he jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Duke Ping is here, Duke Ping is here!"
At this moment, everyone who heard it looked over thinking of Tang Ping.
"Pingguo Gong!"
"It's really Duke Ping!"
"Duke Pingguo is here!"
Everyone put down their work and began to gather together.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let's go to the small square and talk, go to the small square and talk!"
Only then did Tang Ping realize that there was an electric loudspeaker hanging on the waist behind Li Guangbi. He took it down and shouted loudly to the crowd swarming over.
It was also with Li Guangbi's help that Tang Ping finally arrived at the small square.
