The port of Tianjin has become an extremely lively construction site, and tens of thousands of victims are busy at this time.

There are those who specialize in transporting stones and soil, in groups of two, carrying dozens of pounds of sand and gravel and soil; There are also people who wield pickaxes, saws, shovels, etc., and the victims are too hungry, and their strength is far less than that of regular employees who can eat meat at three meals a day, so there is not much demand on labor intensity.

If it is a regular employee, one person may have to pick up hundreds of pounds, and it is impossible to grind foreign workers like this.

Dong Xiaoshan is also a member of the huge construction army, he is twenty years old this year, if in the next life, he is still a child in the ivory tower, going to college, playing games, talking about girlfriends, chasing dreams, youth, publicity, wantonness, etc.

But Dong Xiaoshan is different, at the age of twenty, he is already the head of the family, the father of two children, this famine, he also fled to Tianjin with a family of four.

All the food brought these days has been eaten, although there are still some copper plates left in the pocket, but the grain is too expensive, and those profiteers have increased the price again, and now a pound of grain costs fifty wen a catty.

In the face of such a high price, he was really reluctant to use the money he had saved hard to buy food, and he was lucky.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sympathized with the victims and deliberately recruited a large number of victims to work, although it was only ten cents a day's wages, but these ten cents could be exchanged for ten catties of fish and meat, which was also possible, and barely able to let a family of four live.

However, Dong Xiaoshan has been a diligent person since he was a child, and he firmly remembered the sentence when recruiting workers, as long as he performs well and works hard, he can be turned into a regular worker.

The treatment of this regular worker, it has already been rumored, and there are more or less people around everyone who are doing things for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Liu Gongzi, and many people are also relying on the support of relatives and friends inside.

Therefore, everyone's treatment of regular workers, it is very clear, three meals a day are full, and now it is more seafood and meat to eat, plus the monthly wage is also very high, ordinary people can have about two taels of silver a month, if you master some technology, can do some technical work, then the salary is higher.

It is said that the carpenters on this side of the shipyard are all in the sky, not only for high wages, but also for good houses, which is simply unheard of, but everything is real and happening in front of you.

Therefore, although he was very hungry and felt very empty, Dong Xiaoshan still worked very hard, others picked dozens of catties by two people, he picked dozens of catties by himself, and others rested after a quarter of an hour, and he kept doing it.

He wants to become a regular worker, wants to give his family a stable life, and more importantly, he also wants to learn technology, want to become a skilled worker, and live in a good house.

Whenever he feels tired and feels that he can't persevere, he will look at the family area of the shipyard near Tianjin Port, where the rows of houses are neatly arranged, with white walls and green tiles, very beautiful, and surrounded by walls, the children inside are reading in the private school in the community, and the sound of reading is constantly coming.

It is said that Liu Gongzi rewarded the skilled worker with dried fish at the door of every household in the community, and whoever dried the fish more will have more face, because it means that the owner of the family has good skills, high level and appreciation.

"This is the life of a man!"

Dong Xiaoshan's eyes revealed an extremely envious look, and at the same time, he secretly clenched his fists, swearing that he would also give his family such a life.

In the past, he did not expect to be able to live such a life, his family was also a poor family, and the family did not even have land, and they all lived by farming for the landlord.

But now, he sees hope, because several industries of His Royal Highness the Prince of Tianjin, whether it is a shipyard, a cement factory, or a maritime college, as long as they are willing to learn and work hard, there are a lot of opportunities.

Thinking of this, a powerful force emerged from Dong Xiaoshan's body, supporting his tired body and supporting him to continue to work hard.

"Xiaoshan, why are you so desperate?"

"Everyone is doing it slowly, it's the same ten pennies a day, and you won't have an extra penny if you work so hard."

Dong Dahe, who was in Dong Xiaoshan's same village, looked at Dong Xiaoshan's desperate work, and was also very puzzled and persuaded him.

This Dong Dahai, like most people, doesn't work very hard, of course, it may be because everyone is like this, or it may be because he is hungry and does not have much strength.

"Didn't the steward above say it, as long as you work hard, you can turn into a regular job, I want to change to a regular job, I want to eat three meals a day, this work naturally has to work hard."

Dong Xiaoshan smiled and said.

"Don't be stupid, change to a regular job?"

When Dong Dahe heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "This is all a lie, trick us into doing more things for them." ”

"Probably not, it's also the property of His Royal Highness the Prince, how can you deceive people, anyway, it's all hard work, sleep, and the strength is back."

Dong Xiaoshan didn't think too much, continued to work hard, and whenever he was tired, he looked at the family area of the shipyard, and then thought about his starving child, and immediately felt energetic again.

Not far from Dong Xiaoshan, a person wearing a steward's costume held charcoal and paper in his hand, constantly recording something, and when he saw Dong Xiaoshan who was working hard, he also nodded and recorded it on the paper.

"Bell~Bell~"

Soon, the tiredness of the day finally passed, and with the bell ringing for the end of work, the whole Tianjin port resounded with bursts of cheers, and then many people who had worked hard all day began to line up with the stewards of their own group to prepare to go to receive their day's tired revenge.

"But it makes me tired to death, and I wouldn't have picked up sand and gravel if I knew it."

Dong Dahe rubbed his shoulders and licked his tongue at the same time, thinking that he would be able to receive his fish and meat immediately, and when he would be able to eat the meat soon, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"It's tiring."

Dong Xiaoshan was almost tired and paralyzed, he hadn't eaten enough, and he had worked hard for a day, his stomach was already drumming, and he couldn't be hungry.

Hungry and tired, but Dong Xiaoshan didn't care, as long as he didn't die, his eyes looked at the family area of the shipyard again, here, as the employees in the shipyard got off work, they became lively again, laughter, and bursts of fragrance.
