The Zhao family is considered a small and powerful family in Dongwan City. His family has been in business for generations, and their business has grown bigger and bigger. They have always been the richest man in Dongwan City.
It's just that the richest man is a little aggrieved now, because his family has not been in peace recently: when the Mirage invaded, they asked their family to "pay donations" and stole most of their property.
Later, the Mirage people were beaten away by the Tang people. The Tang people came and searched their house again. Even his favorite desk was moved and confiscated.
But fortunately, although some household items were taken away, they left a way for their family to survive, at least through extortion, and then robbed their money.
At first he was slightly relieved, but Mr. Zhao was still thinking about making a comeback, but then more bad news came.
Simply, the bad news that made him more desperate than having his house ransacked suddenly appeared in front of him!
Dongwan Port, which was originally half a military port and half a fishing port, changed almost overnight, with sailing ships carrying a steady stream of supplies to the dock.
Due to insufficient transportation capacity, materials piled up like mountains on the dock. Neatly stacked sacks were everywhere, containing either cement or flour. It was frightening to see them.
How could anyone transport grain like this? I'm afraid that there might not be so much grain in the grain depot of Zheng's capital!
It is naturally impossible for the rare and strange Zheng people to understand what newly cultivated improved seeds are. It is also impossible for them to understand what centralized management is, it is impossible to understand what mechanized farming is, and it is impossible to understand what pesticides and chemical fertilizers are...
…
Therefore, Zhao Daguan's understanding of grain harvests has actually fallen far behind the development of the times.
In distant Bunas, there are already glass greenhouses producing off-season vegetables and fruits for luxurious dignitaries!
This is the progress brought by Datang Group. When Tang Mo sold a weapon to kill one person, his technology fed a hundred people! The speed at which he killed people could not keep up with the speed at which he created a population, so no one criticized him.
He sells weapons, but some people say he is a star of peace.
This may continue until he starts selling atomic bombs, because humans are better at reducing populations than feeding them...
Countless supplies arrived in East Bay City as if they were emerging from the bottom of the sea. Although Dino and Tiger both felt that this transportation speed was too slow, for other local aborigines, this transportation speed was simply too slow.
Exaggerated and scary.
The grain distribution company was overwhelmed by Datang Grain Company in an instant, and they couldn't even struggle or pull. Those grain dealers almost lay flat, and in an instant they all became supply and marketing cooperatives affiliated with Datang Grain Company.
Cloth that was originally unaffordable to the poor was turned into luxurious clothing and then sold in stores at low prices.
How much do you think Bunas's work clothes should cost? Of course they are so cheap that it makes me want to cry. How could the Datang Group, which aims to stabilize the newly occupied areas, see such a small profit, so naturally it came.
A cheap promotion.
As a result, the local cloth merchants had no place to cry, and they lost everything in a few days. They who laughed at the grain merchants yesterday were now so poor that they could only afford grain.
Therefore, they did not have the courage to commit suicide, so they could only cry bitterly at home and eat two more bowls of rice with tears in their eyes...
The matter is not over yet. With the arrival of subsequent transport ships, the originally expensive iron pots and kitchen knives have become cheap commodities.
The aborigines suddenly discovered that as long as someone in their family worked for Datang Group, they could afford almost all daily necessities on the market.
Easy-to-use chemicals such as soap, iron products that were not affordable before, shoddy but cheap porcelain, work clothes that are the same style but are durable...
Life has gotten better without realizing it, which makes people feel a little unreal.
More exaggerated things began to appear gradually. In the past, the number of deaths due to illness began to decrease. The medicines provided by Datang Group were like elixirs that could save dying lives.
After taking medicine to remove the parasites in their intestines and witnessing the whole process, the local aborigines regarded the Tang people as gods who came to save them.
"Have you heard? Those Tang people...were all ordered by a sinner?" An elderly woman washed her clothes with soap and asked the little daughter-in-law beside her gossiping.
The neighbor's daughter-in-law was also washing clothes. There were patches on the clothes and they looked a little old. She was reluctant to throw them away, so she still insisted on wearing them: "I heard that they said they have black hair and eyes, just like us.
.”
The aunt immediately sighed with emotion: "That is really a fairy-like figure. The one in our family got sick a few days ago. He only took a few elixirs and was cured, and it only cost a few dollars."
"Yes, if this goes away, why don't you go and see a doctor about this illness and pawn your house?" the young daughter-in-law said while beating the clothes with a laundry stick.
"Hey! Do you dare to talk about the past? Who could afford a doctor or take medicinal soup in the past?" The auntie's voice got louder and louder as she spoke, and she looked to the other side with malicious intent.
The ugly-looking lady proprietor of the drug store is also doing laundry. Their business has been completely ruined recently.
No one came for consultation, and no one came to buy medicine. The finished medicine provided by Datang Group was quick and effective, and the diagnosis of the military doctors who arrived with the army was also accurate and direct, and they were increasingly trusted by the locals.
If the Datang Group had not temporarily built a hospital in Dongwan City and asked these old doctors to help, they would probably have gone bankrupt along with the cloth merchants.
However, while some cried, others laughed. As shipments of supplies arrived in Dongwan City, the indigenous people began to support the rule of the Tang Group more and more.
Public security began to become stable, and people hiding in the mountains and forests gradually began to return to the countryside to resume production, and everything began to become in order.
As troops from the 4th Division of Datang Group began to arrive one after another, Tiger had more troops in hand.
Then, something even more convincing to the aborigines of Dongwan City appeared - after replenishing the gas, airship bombers with terrifying paints flew slowly towards Dongwan City.
When the aborigines in Dongwan City saw these big sharks flying over their heads with their ferocious faces and open mouths, covering the sky like dark clouds, no one had any extra thoughts.
After seeing these airships, Mirage Wuxiong, who was helping organize the goblin mining, became more like a qualified dog legion.
The goblins on the construction site are working harder, and even the number of escapees has been reduced. Everyone in the mine is working enthusiastically, and if you are lazy even if you are lazy, you will be caught by the mirage bear to set an example and beat you up.
Mirage Wenmao, who was in the city to receive the slaves from the Mirage Kingdom, saw the airship and truly confirmed his identity as a conscientious comprador.
The elder brother even went to the dock to inspect the goods in person a few days later and rejected the old, weak, sick and disabled people sent from the Mirage Kingdom. His serious attitude could not be overstated as rigorous.
"We are Chinese people!" Recalling what her children said in school, the aunt suddenly felt proud.
The younger daughter-in-law also nodded. Although she had no children going to school, her husband worked on a construction site and often said that he was from the Tang Dynasty after he came back.
If we are not all members of the same family, then why are we given enough wages and never deducted, why do soldiers cross the border without committing any crime, and why do the officials really treat them as individuals when they treat them?
When the people of the Mirage Kingdom came, they exploited, bullied and committed all kinds of evil. Therefore, even if the people of the Mirage Kingdom were strong and powerful, they never achieved results. I will be a member of the Mirage Kingdom for the rest of my life.
But after the Tang people came, they helped them resume production, gave them food and clothing, and helped them regain their dignity - if they weren't brothers, what else could they be?
The time when the concept of Tang people first appeared in history is unknown, but it did appear during the period when the Datang Group occupied Dongwan Island. The locals called the occupying forces of the Datang Group Tang people, and later also called themselves Tang people. .
Later, people in the areas occupied by the Datang Group began to call themselves Tang people, and the proof that they were Tang people was a series of identity certificates with their bareheaded photos and steel seals.
Finally, everyone in the area controlled by the Tang Empire called themselves Tang people, with an air of superiority and superiority.
…
"If you want to become a 'Tangren'... it's not that simple!" In the office, Dino's fingers were tapping on a blank identity document.
Issuing Datang Group identity certificates to hundreds of thousands of people is no small project. It takes several months to take photos, stamps, verify identities, clarify obligations and responsibilities, and indicate benefits and bonuses.
Now he doesn't have that much time to do things that obviously need to be lower in priority. What he has to do now is to return the social economy to normal as soon as possible.
The materials and products of the Datang Group have completely destroyed the local economy of Dongwan Island. He must try his best to integrate the economic operation here with the Datang Group and create a virtuous cycle.
In addition, many troops, carrying new weapons that need to be tested, are also arriving here one after another. He also needs to coordinate with Tiger to arrange the follow-up work.
Why has the development of weapons stagnated? Because there is no war! War is the driving force behind the development of weapons!
When Tang Mo got the summary of all the frontline issues in the Battle of Dongwan Island, Datang Group's technical reserves were all revealed.
No joke at all, some weapons that have never been heard of on the market have now been manufactured and sent to Dongwan Island for testing.
There are many types of these new weapons, but they are still kept secret. However, airships, as a new weapon in the sky, have attracted the attention of the military of various countries.
