"How much work we have done, how much saliva we have wasted, let them be self-reliant, let them sweep the streets without being tired, let them go to knock on sticks at night, he is too sleepy......"

"Ya, you are only in your forties, you are not sick or sick, you have hands and feet, you sent you to work in the factory, but you went in in the morning, slipped away in the afternoon, and took a work clothes...... Let's look back, and guess what? The girl went down the street again and kowtowed and begged......"

"Phew! The money that this grandson will get for more than two months is higher than that of a mechanic in an iron factory! We don't raise moths like you in the Ryukyus!"

The beggar on the ground pouted his ass and threw his ass into his arms desperately, and the two children also followed to collect copper coins for fear that the people around them would snatch one away, Fan Ru roughly estimated that there were 20 silver dollars, to say the least.

"Well, it's enough to buy an acre of dry land in our hometown...... Are you sure this is what he asked for two months?" asked Fan Ru incredulously.

The old platoon commander sneered, "Of course, you must know that the new army in Tanggu is very strict with this kind of unearned people, and the kind of beggars everywhere in the Qing Dynasty can't stay here at all, so these beggars don't have to pay money to the beggar gang leaders above, and there are no other beggars competing here, do you say they make money?"

"It's not difficult for us to be sorry for him, since he dies and doesn't repent, let's take these two months' money and get out of the SAR, and the expulsion is a certainty......"

At this time, Tian Mazi had already picked up the last copper plate, and he cherished the soil on his sleeve, and then put it back in the jacket, followed by kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"O lord, lord, Lord, please, have mercy on me, let me have something to eat here...... When I return to my hometown, I'll starve to death......"

The two children also knelt down and cried bitterly, "Uncle, the two uncles are good, let's stay...... Woo woo, don't drive us away!"

Fan Ru was a little panicked in his heart, "You have hands and feet, and I have arranged work for you here, why bother to beg for food?"

"Two masters, do well......" The beggar didn't answer directly, and he knew that he kowtowed and begged.

Fan Ru then persuaded bitterly, "Even if you don't want to get better in this life, don't you want these two children to get better in the future?"

"Two masters, it's good......"

Fan Ru was a little angry, "I really don't know how to lift, I was born a cheap embryo, hurry up and blast away, I will be angry when I look at it!"

"Second master, you are doing well...... the old beggar would not say anything, and it was just the same sentence over and over again. It may be that seeing that the two uncles didn't move at all, they didn't mean to help at all, so the old beggar turned his head and dragged the little girl over, and slapped his face desperately.

"You dead girl, you cry, you kowtow to the uncle, and ask the uncle to show mercy...... You are a dead star, if you are kicked out today, I will beat you to death!"

The two children cried even more miserably, it really made the listener cry and the listener sad, and suddenly there was a muttering noise around them, and some of them were scolded at the time.

"Whatever! They all say that Tanggu is so good that even a beggar doesn't give a way to live, this is the well-known Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea......?

"That's it, everyone is so miserable, what's wrong with giving people a way to live? Look at how pitiful that child is......"

Chinese never lack overflowing love, and as long as this love does not cost their own interests, they do not mind giving others moral kidnapping.

You Xiao Lotian is an official, we are the people, and the officials have to manage the people, no matter whether the people are lazy or not, whether they are morally corrupt, there is only one truth in their hearts: 'I am mentally retarded and I am reasonable'.

The old platoon stood up angrily and shouted, "Shut up!" Come on, drag this old beggar out, since it has been ruled that expulsion is expulsion, and we do not raise idlers in the Special Administrative Region...... I don't know what to do, I give you relief food, you eat it, and I push you to work, so we want to get it for nothing? We don't support idlers......

The soldiers dragged the old beggars out of the West Water Gate, and these old beggars turned their faces and wanted to scold, but as soon as the bright bayonet came out, he was so frightened that he covered his mouth and turned his head and ran, but after running for more than a dozen steps, he turned around and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and his hateful eyes stared at those soldiers.

At this moment, the head of another expelled family stood up, walked up to the old platoon leader and Fan Ru and kowtowed three times, "Second master! The old beggar is lazy and deserves to be expelled, but the old man and I can't figure it out, it's not that our family of three doesn't want to work, why was it that we were expelled in the end...... I can't get over this hurdle in my heart!"

The old platoon commander opened the official document and looked at it, and finally sighed: "Why are you so unenlightened? Your son has been recruited by the big iron factory, and he has a salary of two silver coins a month as an apprentice, why don't you cherish it?"

The old man's eyes were red, "I don't cherish it?" You said I don't cherish it! I listened to this good news and didn't fall asleep happily for three days in a row, and my wife cried for three whole days...... But you are too much of a bully, how can you go to work in an iron factory and cut your braids? Is there any reason for this......

When Fan Ru heard this, he was stunned, "Cut braids, when is this rule......

Of course, the rules for cutting braids were also newly established last year, and what is the most respected job in the Special Administrative Region? It is definitely not a businessman like a business owner from all over the world, let alone a second shopkeeper who is good at calculation.

The ones who are really respected are actually the engineers and the apprentices and technical jobs they brought out.

For any country to develop rapidly, it needs a very large team of engineers and a larger team of blue-collar workers, and these talents are the rarest in the Qing Dynasty.

Shrewd businessmen are easy to find, and there are many scholars who are good at learning Western studies, but this kind of blue-collar worker is the rarest, because China has not paid much attention to craftsmen for thousands of years, and most of China's craftsmen rely on word of mouth between masters and apprentices, and have not undergone strict education in natural science knowledge at all.

In other words, the blue-collar workers in the Tanggu Special Economic Zone must rely on Xiao Letian to train them himself. One has to find clever young men who can quickly learn basic cultural knowledge, learn arithmetic and basic physics, and also have to be ingenious.

It is not easy to find such talents, so the special zone for the profession of mechanics is really to take out a lot of wealth to support. It's like the family surnamed Wang in front of him, his son has been accepted by the iron factory, so even the working iron factory with his parents and two elders has been solved.

My father knew how to be a carpenter, so he went to work in the carpentry group of the ironworks, and many barrels and wooden boxes needed to be built by these people, and the monthly income was one and a half silver coins.

Mother can only cook, then arranged in the big kitchen, eat and live, there is half a silver coin to get every month, the so-called half a silver coin is the fresh word in people's mouths, 'five corners', also known as 'five cents'.

As for Xiao Wang, it is even more beautiful, when he was an apprentice, he could get two silver dollars every month, and when he was promoted to a junior worker, he could get five silver dollars, a first-level worker could get eight silver dollars, and a second-level worker or above...... That's unimaginable.

But such a good treatment is conditional, Xiao Lotian personally ordered last year that all key technical jobs must join the Ryukyu nationality, and there is an additional condition that is to cut braids and put small feet.

Note: Tomorrow on Monday, the 29th, I hope that book friends will support a few more red envelopes on the main site, and see how many places we can rush to the top of the weekly red envelope list......

See you on Monday morning, see you on the red envelope list, I'll have a few more chapters! Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, let's grab the first place of the week!
