At this time, Tianjin has become a geomantic treasure land in the north according to outside legends! Anyone who comes here, as long as they are willing to endure hardships and work hard, will definitely be able to make a living for themselves and their families! If someone takes a fancy to your talent, the money you can earn will be much better than digging for food in the dirt!
If you have a skill, you can make a lot of money! If you can make any special contributions or skills, I’m afraid you’ll be able to eat and drink for the rest of your life! Maybe he’ll become a city dweller!
There are now too many people setting up factories and doing business in Tianjin, and the labor force is already in short supply! Especially since Liu Haojia has to build a salt farm, there are not enough people! Therefore, the county has also thought of many ways.
Although there is a slight gap between facts and rumors, they are not far apart! As long as the refugees arrive at the outskirts of Tianjin County, there will be a shed where the guards and helpers are waiting. They will stop the refugees when they pass by, ask them about their families and issue them a temporary residence certificate. With this certificate, the family can live and work legally in Tianjin.
There is another shed next to the shed where the guard is, and all the people sitting in it are chatting with people from Tianjin. After those refugees receive their temporary residence permits, they will be told by a helper that if they are looking for work, they can go to the shed next door and ask.
When the refugees walk into the shed full of hope, they will be questioned by the dentists. Those who don't have any skills will be recommended to go out to work as laborers and do some errands. If you have skills, they will be registered and recommended to merchants who need them. If you have people with special skills, they will even cause people to rob you!
But today there was a new shed opposite the two sheds. There was a man dressed as a eunuch sitting inside, and there was a sign in front of the door: Embankment Construction Recruiting Workers! This is what Zhang Zhi arranged.
Wang Da is an ordinary farmer on the border of Hebei and Shanxi. After the beginning of spring, he and his family worked hard to plant crops in seven or eight acres of thin farmland. But when the seedlings just emerged from the ground, the family's food supply was almost exhausted. This is the so-called lean time!
So he discussed with his father and mother according to the rules of previous years, and prepared to take his two younger brothers out to make a living. At this time of year, he would leave the land to his parents, mother-in-law and son, and take his younger brother Wang Er to escape the famine.
But the difference this year is that his third brother is already 14 years old and wants to go out with him to make a living. What's more, this year is different from previous years. In previous years, they wandered aimlessly when they went out. They will go wherever there may be day laborers, and this year they have a clear goal, which is Tianjin!
He heard from grain merchants who went to the countryside to collect grain that Tianjin is now a good place to make a fortune! As long as you can walk there, there will be work! Moreover, the rice eaten there was all rice from the south of the Yangtze River, which made Wang Da both envious and unhappy at the same time!
The reason is because maybe if I escape from famine this year, I can not only make a living and save food for my family, but maybe I can also earn some money back! What makes me unhappy is that rice is eaten in that place! What's so delicious about that thing? How can it make you feel at ease when you bite it in your mouth?
Early that morning, Wang Da climbed out of bed. He found that his mother-in-law was no longer there, probably cooking pig food. He touched the quilt, which was cold, which showed that he had been up for a long time.
He went down to the small crib opposite and touched his sleeping son's face. Infinite joy welled up in my heart. If the news is accurate, I might be able to save some money for my family when I go out this year, and maybe I can buy another one and a half acres of land!
The second and third children are slowly growing up! Especially the third child, it is the time when the half-grown man is the poor man. Eating is like fighting. There is less and less food at home!
Thinking of the third old man, Wang straightened his back and sighed. Because the third child worries him the most! He is still young, so if he cannot endure hardships on the road or gets sick, he will be in trouble! So he told himself that he must take good care of his third child on the road! Because the third child is not only the youngest in their Lao Wang family, but also the smartest one! The hope of Lao Wang's family lies in him! ap.
He got dressed and went out. He saw his mother busy making breakfast, and he also smelled the aroma of wheat. This must be his mother making steamed buns for them to eat on the way.
His mother knew from the sound that he was up, and said without raising her head: "Tell your brothers to get up. Your father is outside preparing the bedding."
Wang Da agreed casually and went out of the room. As soon as he lifted the door curtain, he smelled the aroma of meat! No need to ask, it must taste like stewed chicken! Before going on a long journey, you always need to put some oil in your stomach.
By the time he woke up his two younger brothers, breakfast was already ready. Yao Meier was standing next to the dining table, drooling as she watched the chicken ticking. Even though she was so greedy, she still put her hands behind her back and never took a step forward! Because he knew that this was what her three brothers used to fill their stomachs when they traveled far away, and she couldn't eat it!
Soon the whole family was sitting at the table. But no one said anything. Especially the faces of Wang's parents were expressionless, with only layers of wrinkles stacked on top of each other!
Their three sons have to travel far away from home, even though they are located on the border of Shanxi and Hebei. You can reach Tianjin just by crossing Hebei, but this still makes the two of them worried! But they have no choice. The poor have to save their lives and save everything that can be exchanged for money, especially food. By sending the three sons away, the family's food consumption can be reduced to a minimum.
After the family was all seated, Mr. Wang glanced at the food on the table. There was a stewed chicken in the middle of the table. It's the little rooster at home. If Wang Da stretched out his hand, the chicken might not be as big as his palm!
In addition, there are three plates of green vegetables and two plates of pickles on the table. The green vegetables are no longer stewed in white water as in the past, but fried in oil, and the leaves are covered with oil! There is also a basket with baked buns in it.
Wang Da's father said dullly: "Hurry up and eat!"
After speaking, he reached out, grabbed a piece of steamed bun, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, but had no intention of eating. Others also picked up the steamed buns and ate them slowly. Seeing that no one had any intention of eating the chicken, Wang Da stood up, held down the chicken with chopsticks, pulled off a chicken leg as big as possible and put it in the third brother's bowl. Then he pulled off a similar chicken leg and put it in Yaomei'er's bowl.
Seeing this, Yao Meier shook her head desperately and said, "Brother, you eat, I won't!"
Although she said this, the saliva in her mouth betrayed her! The saliva in her mouth made her unable to speak clearly! The king laughed and laughed at his third brother: "Eat! Eat!"
