"I would like to inform the king of the Mirage Kingdom not to listen to the villain's slander, destroy a century-old foundation, and ruin the lives of hundreds of millions of lives..." On the radio, the Tang State's diplomatic department was reading a letter from the Tang King Gao Mirage Kingdom to the King.
Most civilians in Qi State actually don't feel that their lives have changed - they still live the same life every day. The only difference is that there were some more bomb craters in front of their homes in the past few days.
The war seemed to have ended so quietly. In most of the land in Qi, the people did not even hear the sound of artillery.
The Tang army advanced so fast that the previously planned battle plan to block the Tang army's attack was over before it was even used.
For the common people in the Tang Dynasty, the war seemed to have nothing to do with them at all.
Apart from the fact that there are still so many orders and they have to work overtime every day for production and construction, the war seems to exist only in the battle reports on the radio.
Every morning they listened to where the Tang Army had broken through and woke up, and then listened to how many more enemy troops the Tang Army had annihilated while eating...
In short, everyone just happened to see a white flag suddenly hung on the door of a certain family, and there was a golden plaque under the house number, and they knew that another hero had died on the front line.
These dead people are really heroes. They brought glory to the country. Even their families have become different because of their deaths.
They are exempted from half of the taxes and fees, their children enjoy better free education, and they even have some allocated land to rent out to subsidize their families.
The civil affairs officials who manage this place will visit regularly to ask the families who have lost their loved ones what kind of life difficulties they have, and will also bring rice and noodles to express their condolences.
The military also has specialized investigators to investigate and ensure that pensions and other preferential treatment can be implemented.
Although it is always a bad thing when someone dies, being able to leave so many things for a family with your own death makes death less scary for everyone.
As the war progressed, more and more people signed up to join the army, and many immigrants from Chu State also began to join the army enthusiastically. They were willing to use their lives to exchange for a real identity for their families.
Tang people, for people living in the Tang Dynasty, are an enviable identity, a coveted identity, and... a true identity.
"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!" The roar of the huge machine could not cover up the loud shout of the supervisor. He walked between the gaps in the equipment that was taller than a person and shouted loudly to the workers who were supervising the pressure of the instruments.
The oil-stained worker spread his hands and rubbed them on his clothes, which seemed to be able to wring out engine oil. He smiled sheepishly and said, "The machine is not stopped, so we can't move."
"You kid! You don't eat at noon every day! One hour of overtime pay can make you rich, right?" The foreman pretended to be annoyed and patted the young man on the shoulder: "You ask me to bring you food every time! You bastard!
"
"Hey hey hey!" The young man became even more embarrassed. He scratched his head, not caring that the sludge in the gaps between his fingers was still on his hair: "My family is poor and I have no choice."
In his impression, people in charge are often arrogant and arrogant. They hit people at every turn, and swearing is commonplace.
But after coming to Tang Dynasty, his foreman was like a big brother next door. He worked with his subordinates personally every day, working in the noisy workshop all day long.
Everyone is united and always produces more parts than required, and then gets the banner symbolizing honor in the factory's production competition and becomes an excellent model workshop.
Receiving an honor often means that everyone will receive a reward, including a monthly allowance of 15 silver coins, which is life-saving extra income for many families.
With this money, I can buy some medicines for my sick old father. These medicines are very cheap to buy in the factory's medical room, but they are very effective.
With this money, I can choose a new dress for my mother-in-law. After so many years of being together, I have never bought a new dress for her.
With this money, the family can buy some pork. When the child is growing, he can eat better, become taller and stronger.
In short, with this money, life can be better and better.
The factory also stipulates that for every hour of overtime work, an additional overtime pay of 7 copper coins will be given. Although it may not sound like much, but for working overtime for an hour every day, you will get 2 silver coins in a month, which is another free money.
Don't look too much, you can buy some cigarettes to satisfy your cravings, or buy candies for your children as rewards, or you can get some bath and movie tickets to improve your life.
Taking a bath is definitely a kind of enjoyment for people of this era. Before coming to the Tang Dynasty, some people might only take a few baths in their life.
Things are different now. Datang Group's factories provide hot water 24 hours a day. The factory's steam engine and cooling water circulation system can continuously provide hot cooling water. Bathing is no longer so difficult.
Bathhouse culture is almost tied to factory culture. The cooling water in the factory is almost free, and workers are easily contaminated with oil, so taking a bath after get off work has become a necessity and social interaction.
Everyone met frankly in the dressing room full of wardrobes, sat together and chatted about which girl in the stall next door was pretty, and talked about how many scores their children got in the exam this time, so a thousand people in a factory
Many people became familiar with each other in this way.
After walking in, as long as you turn on the valve, the hot shower will spray on your body. It will make you feel slightly hot and it will be another kind of trembling enjoyment.
After washing thoroughly, the skin was already reddish, and a group of friends went to take a dip in the large boiling water pool, with only their heads exposed to refresh themselves. The temperature and buoyancy of the water made the whole person feel as if they were in heaven.
, simply not too sour and refreshing.
Go out and spend a silver coin, find a master to rub your back, tap it a few times, and hammer your shoulders, and you will feel comfortable all over.
Then go back under the shower to rinse off the dirt, apply soap, let the foam cover your body, rinse with water and all the oil will disappear, leaving only an indescribable smoothness...
The whole process involves bragging and chatting with friends, chatting about the bullying Empire of China, and talking about the mirage dog thieves who are not human beings, which makes the taste even more authentic.
When I returned to the dressing room, I heard the message from the King of the Tang Dynasty to the King of Mirage being played on the radio, and I felt a sense of pride among the Tang people.
This, what the hell is the way people live!
"Pay attention to your health!" the class leader warned, and then walked back along the gaps between the machines full of pipes.
The working environment here is indeed not good, it is hot and full of noise, and the only seat is very cramped. But working here, he can feel that he is alive again, living like a real person.
So he took off the towel that had been baked hard by the pipes, squeezed it a little softer, hung it back to its original position, and turned the two valves to keep the pressure normal.
At the other end of the workshop, a huge machine was opening and closing, and sections of steel plates were rolled out and neatly stacked at the end of the machine.
There, there was a man who was also not going to have lunch and was staring at the height of the steel plates. Once the number was almost there, he would remove the steel plates and send them to the warehouse next door.
Next to their factory, there are chimneys that are constantly emitting thick smoke. These chimneys stretch into the distance and are connected with more chimneys further away, like a forest made of reinforced concrete.
This is a new industrial zone built by Datang Group to replace some of the factories outside Bunas that have ceased production.
On the newly built railway, a train roared past. This is the latest generation locomotive produced by Datang Group. It has stronger transportation capacity and faster speed.
Behind this train was a long series of flat cars, and parked on these flat cars were the newly produced No. 4 tanks.
As more and more factories were put into production, the production capacity of the Tang Kingdom's No. 4 tanks also began to gradually increase.
This batch of No. 4 tanks is used to equip the 5th and 6th Armored Divisions. They are currently training in the western region of the Tang Kingdom and are in urgent need of weapons and equipment.
There was no way, because of the war with Qi, all the training tanks expected to be allocated to them were pulled to replenish the first four armored divisions.
As a result, they could only use horse-drawn carriages and other random things to simulate tank training. Even the two divisions combined could not even get together 100 vehicles.
However, as time goes by, their difficulties have been solved: a few days ago, due to sufficient production capacity, they obtained 50 No. 4 tanks in advance, finally making them worthy of the name Armored Division.
The radio in the factory cafeteria was still playing a message to the King of Mirage Kingdom: "Occupying our country's Beiyuan City is tantamount to self-destruction! I hope the King of Mirage Kingdom will recognize the reality and stop daydreaming. If he insists on going his own way, the result will inevitably be
It is a disgrace to yourself! If the Mirage Kingdom remains evil and unwilling to repent, then it will only lead to death in the end!"
Under the loudspeaker, on the long table, rows of workers were devouring their food. In their hands were snow-white steamed buns, and on their plates were pickles and bland cucumber soup. But they still ate.
It was delicious, because for them, it was already a hard-earned meal.
The factory provides free lunch. Although it is not very good, it allows these people who have eaten two meals a day for their entire lives to enjoy three meals a day. This is nothing to complain about, or in other words, this meal is not good for them.
, is already an additional benefit.
You know, it is no exaggeration to say that the Tang people may be the only people in the world who have the luxury of eating three meals a day!
