At this time, Tianjin has become a geomantic treasure land in the north in the legends of the outside world! 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 you have the ability, you will be
If you fall in love with someone, the money you can earn is much better than digging for food in the dirt!
If you have a skill, you can make a lot of money! If you have any special contribution or skill, you will be able to eat and drink for the rest of your life! Maybe you will become a city dweller!
However, Tianjin now has too many people running factories and doing business, and the labor force is already in short supply! Especially since Liu Haojia has to build a salt farm, there are not enough people! So the county has also thought of many ways.
Although there is some gap between the 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 with guards and helpers waiting. They will stop the refugees when they pass by and ask questions about the entire family.
After it is clear, a temporary residence certificate will be issued to them. With this certificate, their family can legally live and work in Tianjin.
There is another shed next to the shed where the guard is, and the people sitting and chatting in it are all Tianjin people. After the refugees receive their temporary residence permits, the helper will tell them 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 without any skills will be recommended to go out to work as laborers and do some errands. Those with skills will be registered and recommended to
Merchants who need it. If they have special skills, they will even cause people to rob!
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! This was 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 fields. However, 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 planned to take his two younger brothers out to make a living. At this time of year, he would leave the land to his father, mother-in-law and son, and he would take his younger brother Wang Er to escape.
But the difference this year is that his third brother is already 14 years old and has to go out with him to make a living. What's more, this year is different from previous years. In previous years, they would wander aimlessly when they went out. They would go wherever there might be day laborers.
Let’s go, and this year they have a clear goal, which is Tianjin!
He heard from grain merchants who went to the countryside to collect grains that Tianjin is now a good place to make a fortune! As long as you can walk there, there will be work! And the rice eaten there is all rice from the south of the Yangtze River. This way Wang Da is both excited and excited.
Very unhappy again!
The reason for the longing is that maybe this year's escape from famine will not only make a good living, but also save food for the family, and maybe even earn some money back! What I'm not happy about is that the rice is eaten there! What's so delicious about that food, and where can I get steamed buns?
It feels soothing in the 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 bed and found that it was cold, which showed that he had been up for a long time.
He went down to the small crib opposite and touched the face of his sleeping son. Infinite joy surged in his heart. If the news was accurate, he might be able to save some money for his family when he went out this year, and maybe he could save some money for his family again.
Buy an acre and a half of land!
The second and third eldest children have grown up slowly! Especially the third eldest child, it is the time when the half-grown man is living in poverty. Eating is like fighting, and the food at home is getting less and less!
Thinking of the third child, Wang stood up straight and sighed. Because the third child worried him the most! He was still young, and if he had to endure hardships on the road, he would be in trouble if he got sick! So he told himself that he must
Take good care of the 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 the Lao Wang family lies in him!
He got dressed and went out. He saw his mother busy making breakfast, and he 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 bed."
Wang Da agreed casually and went out of the room. As soon as he opened the door curtain, he smelled the aroma of meat! No need to ask, it must be the smell of stewed chicken! Before going far away, you always have some oil in your stomach.
By the time he woke up his two younger brothers, breakfast had been laid out. 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.
He didn't take a step forward! Because he knew that this was what the three brothers used to fill their stomachs when they went on a long trip, and she couldn't eat it!
Soon the whole family sat around the table, but no one spoke. 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 at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei. As long as they can reach Tianjin through Hebei, this still makes the two of them worried! But they have no choice, the poor
Days are saved, and everything that can be exchanged for money must be saved, especially food. By sending three sons away, the food consumption of the family can be reduced to a minimum.
After the family sat down, Mr. Wang glanced at the food on the table. There was a stewed chicken in the middle of the table. It was the little rooster at home. If Mr. Wang had 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 vegetable leaves are shiny with oil! There is also a basket with baked steamed buns in it.
Wang Da's father said dullly: "Hurry up and eat!"
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed a piece of steamed bun, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, but had no intention of eating the vegetables. Others also picked up the steamed bun and started eating it slowly. Seeing that no one had the intention of eating the chicken, Wang Da
He stood up, held down the chicken with chopsticks, pulled off a chicken drumstick as big as possible and put it in Third Brother's bowl. Then he pulled off a similar drumstick and put it in Yaomei'er's bowl.
Seeing this, Yao Meier shook her head desperately and said, "Brother, you eat it, 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! Wang laughed and smiled at the third brother: "Eat! Eat!"
