The weather in Tanggu in May is already starting to get a little hot, not to mention the huge special industrial zone, which exudes infinite energy all the time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Carnegie Steel Corporation of the United States, Lotte Bank, and Northern Iron and Steel Group, in which many Chinese businessmen jointly have shares, have become the landmark buildings of the Special Economic Zone at this moment.

The tall chimney rolls black smoke every day, if it is the west wind, it is better, the black smoke blows directly into the Bohai Sea, if the east wind blows in Tanggu City, it will be unlucky, and the black and dark are soot.

There are a total of six blast furnaces in the North Iron and Steel Plant, each furnace can produce more than 40,000 tons of various types of steel every month, and the production capacity of nearly 250,000 tons a month has surpassed the entire Qing Dynasty, with an annual output of 3 million tons in the 19th century, it has been the largest steel plant in the world.

The coal and iron sent from Kailuan were simply not enough, and now coal from Shanxi has begun to be transported to Tanggu in batches by land, and even iron ore from North Korea has been transported from Bohai Bay in boatloads.

The huge steel group wall is eight or nine meters high, dark and heavy like a monster lying on the ground, every breath can spit out shiny steel, the factory sales department is crowded with merchants of the Qing Dynasty, and the steel deposit paid in advance is actually scheduled for next year.

With the iron and steel industry as the core, more of the machinery manufacturing industry is emanated, not to mention the military factory, the precision machinery factory has been able to mass-produce various types of gear sets, the civilian light industry farm implements factory production of sickles and hoes, the price is extremely low, to sell to the outside is simply a low-price dumping.

It has become the Ruhr of the East, the Liverpool of Asia, and the Pittsburgh of China...... Every breath of air you breathe here is filled with the smell of coal and iron, and the power of flame molten steel.

The streets were crowded with people, the police whistled desperately to maintain order, Western carriages replaced all Qing sedan chairs, and those who sat in sedan chairs in the city were the most discriminated against.

The streets were full of workers, merchants, engineers, and military police...... Everyone is in a hurry, and you can't see a single idler. There are no beggars, no ruffians and hooligans, no warblers standing on the streets, and no liars and thieves walking the rivers and lakes.

The city is full of power and order at the same time, you don't even see a few people dragging pigtails on the streets, and those merchants from other provinces of the Great Qing Kingdom have also secretly changed into suits when they arrive, and their braids are covered with top hats over their heads.

This is a very well-behaved city, Xiao Letian has formulated a very clear management positioning for the city at the beginning, strict entry and relaxation, and high salary to retain talents!

Xishuimen has now become the only base for the management of displaced people in the SEZ, and the entire SEZ is closed by barbed wire and large willow trees, and only Xishuimen has the right to manage household registration among the dozens of entrances and exits.

That is to say, the displaced people and disaster victims from the Great Qing Dynasty can only enter and exit from here, and all the Qing people who want to come to the Special Economic Zone to earn a living have only two choices if they want to work in the Special Administrative Region.

The first type of person can get a floating household registration that changes every three years, and this kind of person can not cut his braids, and after entering the special zone, the government will generally coordinate the work, and some of the work in the special zone will be made with great effort, and the wharf will carry large bags, and the steel factory will go to the sand mold, or simply sweep the streets and dig the gutters......

As long as you are willing to exert your strength, you will not starve to death, and you can save seventy or eighty silver dollars a year, and you will have to die of envy when you return to your hometown for the New Year.

But there is absolutely no idler, if you are in good health, go to beg for food, become a scoundrel, lie on the side of the street and bask in the sun and catch lice, then don't blame the military and police for being black, and you will be expelled directly with a whip.

The second type of people are the people who can't survive in the Qing country, or who are bullied by the corrupt officials, corrupt officials, bandits, and bullies in the Qing country, and they choose to emigrate to the Chinese nationality, that is, they politically declare their separation from the Qing nationality and become the lowest immigrant of the Chinese people.

The Chinese Code not only stipulates six lords and eighteen classes, but also divides the people without titles into three classes, the first class belongs to immigrants, these people have migrated from other cultural circles, and it takes time to understand the Chinese laws and Chinese values.

Such persons are immigrants, who have basic human rights and are protected by law, but they do not have political rights, cannot participate in elections, cannot join the army, do not enjoy free compulsory education, and have only paid education.

And there must be two prerequisites for immigrants, one is to cut braids, and the other is that the female dependents of the family must put small feet, which is an iron rule, and no one can specialize.

This is the very harsh immigration policy of the Special Administrative Region, and it is also the fundamental reason for the scolding in the West Water Gate, which means that if you want to enter the Special Administrative Region, you must accept very strict rules, but it is very simple to let go, if you do not abide by the rules, you will get out, it will be easy and simple.

It is under the influence of this policy that the immigrants who can stay in the special zone are very knowledgeable about the rules, and it is precisely because they understand the rules that they can integrate well into the life of the special zone.

That's right, after the modern industrial revolution, human beings have to learn to deal with machinery, and machinery is not the same as farmland, machinery is cold and ruthless, you will almost scrap millions worth of parts, or have serious accidents or even life-threatening.

And those farmers in the Great Qing Kingdom who watch the sky and eat, do some work when they are happy today, and sleep when they are unhappy tomorrow, or simply drag the broken bowl to ask for food, and live as they please. Such people are completely incapable of dealing with machinery, and they simply cannot adapt to the era of industrialization.

"Oh, it's a waste to pour a bucket of oil lubrication, it's quite tiring, and it's ...... to pour half a bucket."

"Hi...... What do you call me when the car parts are half a millimeter? I have no problem planting in my hometown, and I will be able to harvest ......grain in the autumn when the time comes."

This kind of remark is said to have caused countless American and Prussian engineers to vomit blood, and even this joke has spread to Europe, and the Times once made a news page specifically to laugh at Xiao Lotian in this special zone.

The immigration management policy of strict entry and relaxation is really a last resort, but at the same time, Tanggu also implements a system of high-salary retention, as long as you understand the rules, are willing to accept management, and do not work sloppily, the return you get is absolutely unimaginable.

What is it to eat meat at Dunton, you can still drink two taels of good wine, and send a lot of silver to your hometown during the New Year, which is decent.

If you are young and perceptive, and you still know how to read and are willing to learn, this is worth it! Let the foreign devil engineer value it, and directly promote you to be a blue-collar worker, wearing blue-collared work clothes, then the lowest level of income will be fifteen silver dollars a month.

One month's income is enough for a family's family to eat a year's rations, what a high salary!

All in all, Tanggu has become a dream place for countless immigrants from the Qing Dynasty, but also a place of sadness...... And among these sad people, there is a figure that Xiao Lotian is very familiar with, Qing Sanye.
