Chapter 553, Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden

Along the cement road from Shanhaiguan to Tianjin, Liu Jin took the hunting and nobles of the grassland tribes such as Battle, Hadan, and Huhe all the way south to Tianjin.

Then prepare to transfer here in Tianjin to Jingshi, which is the most convenient road.

As it gets closer and closer to Tianjin, both sides of the cement road are becoming more and more prosperous.

Around the cement road, houses, factories, workshops, teahouses, taverns, inns, etc. can be seen everywhere, and more and more four-wheeled carriages come and go on the road, busy and extraordinary.

The cement road is convenient and convenient, which will naturally attract more people to settle on both sides of the cement road, and convenient transportation also means the artery of the economy.

The arteries around the economy can naturally radiate and drive the development of areas on both sides of the road.

"It's really prosperous and lively~"

Battle and the others walked all the way, looked all the way, and there were new things everywhere.

"Haha, this is nothing, when you get to Tianjin, you will know what prosperity is."

Hearing Battle's words, Liu Jin also said with a smile.

Walking through Tianjin is also Liu Jin's plan, taking them to see the prosperity of Tianjin, feel the breath of the new era, and let them have long eyes.

"Listening to what Lord Liu said, I can't wait to fly to Tianjin now to see the prosperity of Tianjin."

When Battle heard this, he immediately smiled and said.

"You won't be disappointed."

"Calculate the time, we can almost arrive in Tianjin before sunset, I have asked people to prepare, I have prepared a banquet here in Tianjin, let's have a few drinks today."

Liu Jin said very confidently.

"Haha, I'm looking forward to the wine and food in the Central Plains."

Battle said with a smile.

Looking at the road ahead, the spacious road, the traffic is busy, people come and go, in his opinion, it is already quite busy, but there are still dozens of kilometers away from Tianjin.

Because they were all on horseback, the team traveled at a fast pace.

Gradually, Tianjin appeared in the field of vision.

The first thing that appeared in everyone's field of vision was the chimneys erected high in the factories one by one.

The huge smoke of more than ten zhang tall rushed into the sky, and the billowing black smoke continued to pour out, and the sky of the entire Tianjin seemed to become much darker.

"What a big chimney?"

It was the first time for Huhe, Hadan, Batel and others to see such a huge smoke rush, and there were many of them, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes one by one.

"Lord Liu, what are these chimneys for?"

"Do they all cook over fire?"

Hadan asked curiously.

"Haha, of course not, who would use a big chimney for cooking."

"These are the smoke exhaust chimneys of cement factories, textile factories and other factories and workshops."

"If you see the areas under the chimney, these areas are all large and small factories, and if you look at the number of chimneys, it is estimated that there are at least a few hundred factories in this area."

Liu Jin also looked at the chimneys that emitted billowing smoke into the sky, and there were a lot of them.

This picture, he had only seen in the old TV series before the time travel, the chimney of the industrial age, emitting the smoke of civilization.

Well, while polluting the atmosphere.

But in this day and age, it is definitely a symbol of civilization.

Looking at these chimneys, Liu Jin felt that he had not crossed over in vain.

"Factories, workshops?"

All the grassland people immediately nodded one after another, and on the way here, they had already learned some things about the Ming Dynasty.

I know that the Beijing-Tianjin area of Daming is now very popular to set up factories, workshops, and commercial houses.

"Lord Liu, I heard that the number of workers in this factory can range from a few hundred to a few thousand, or even tens of thousands, so many factories don't mean that there are hundreds of thousands of people working in such a small place?"

Battle seemed to remember something, and said in disbelief.

"Yes, the factory requires a lot of labor, and this is an industrial zone in Tianjin, and what we see now is only part of it."

"There are more than one million people working in the factories and workshops in the entire Tianjin Industrial Zone."

Liu Jin nodded and said, this is the case in the capitalist era and the industrial age.

Now the steam engine has not been made, and the factories, workshops, etc. in Tianjin are nothing, and when the steam engine is out, the productivity will take off.

The advent of capitalism and the industrial age, when that time comes, factories will be everywhere, and there will be more and more large factories.

"More than a million?"

Hadan, Huhe and others gasped one after another.

The entire grassland combined is estimated to have less than a million people at the doorstep.

But in this small area in front of me, there are millions of people working and living in it, and this person is too dense.

With shock, the team is closer to Tianjin. A small bookstore

When you really come to Tianjin, you can clearly see the spacious cement roads, extending in all directions, all of which are neatly planned and dotted.

On both sides of the spacious cement road, there are huge factories, which are crowded with people and busy.

At the gates of each factory, a large number of four-wheeled carriages come in and out, constantly transporting all kinds of goods, and the whole road seems to be extremely busy.

When you get closer, you can see the chimneys that go straight into the sky, billowing black smoke, and the air is filled with the choking smell of coal.

The industrial zone in Tianjin is very large, and it is even bigger than that in Beijing.

After all, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven and has been greatly constrained and governed, but Tianjin is different, there are not too many constraints, coupled with Liu Jin's intentional guidance and planning, it will naturally develop vigorously.

The number of factories and workshops in Tianjin is several times that of Beijing, and if you really want to calculate it according to the output value or GDP of later generations, Tianjin has already surpassed Beijing.

"How?"

Liu Jin looked at Battle and the others, they were all like dirt buns in the countryside at this time, and their eyes were stupid.

The huge factory area, the busy flow of people, the busy roads, everything is completely different from their grassland, as if entering another world.

Everything is so fresh, so new, so dazzling and dizzying.

"It's like I've come to another world~"

Battle couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Haha, this is nothing, the most lively places in Tianjin are here in Tianjin Wharf and Tianjin Business District."

Liu Jin smiled and led everyone to move on.

After walking through the Tianjin Industrial Zone, I soon came to the Tianjin Business District.

At this time, the sun has set, and night has fallen, and the lights are on.

It was time for each factory to get off work, and suddenly the whole Tianjin seemed to be alive.

Workers who got off work took off their dirty clothes, put on decent new clothes, and walked in droves to Tianjin's business district.

Shopping, playing, eating, and enjoying the night life have now become the daily life of Tianjin people.

Here in Tianjin's business district, high-rise buildings are lit with oil lamps, and the whole street becomes extremely bright with the illumination of glass lamps.

Shops, restaurants, tea houses, commercial houses, Qinglou Chu Pavilion, etc., in order to attract guests, it is even more decorated with bright lights, red and green, so that when people look at the past, they are dazzled and dizzy.

At this time, the spacious cement road has become congested, the flow of people is too large and too dense, and there are too many people who come out to shop and play.

After work, it is the hottest time for business here in Tianjin Commercial Street.

Battle, Hadan, Huhe and the others all looked straight at this time.

In their minds, it was dark at night, and after sunset, it was time to rest.

But this scene in front of me.

Brightly lit streets, dense crowds, bright high-rise buildings, bustling shops, and Ming women wearing all kinds of colorful clothes......

The eyes of those who look at it are glazed.

"Is it still night?"

"These lights?"

"Such a dense flow of people?"

"Akito ......"

These tribal leaders and nobles from the grassland kept sighing, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, and everything they saw was very strange.

"Haha, let's go to dinner first, and after eating, everyone has time to come out and take a stroll slowly."

Liu Jin looked at their turtle appearance, and the whole person couldn't help laughing.

In fact, everyone who comes to Tianjin for the first time will be deeply shocked by its prosperity and hustle and bustle.

In this era when I go back to bed at night, my wife and children are hot pits, and the night in Tianjin is really fascinating.

took Battle, Hadan, and Huhe to Tianjin Wanghailou, and Liu Jin had already ordered the best private room in Wanghailou in advance.

The whole Wanghailou is the best restaurant in Tianjin, the floor is very high, and the decoration is very luxurious.

When it comes to night, the whole building of Wanghailou will be lit up, and the cedar oil and glass lamps will make the whole Wanghailou also brightly lit and brilliant, just like a palace in the sky.

When Battle, Hadan and the others came to Wanghai Tower, they looked at the building in front of them, and they all felt dirty, and they didn't even dare to step in.

"Let's go, take you to see the night view of Tianjin City~"

Liu Jin looked at Battle and the others, smiled and took the lead towards Wanghai Tower.

The private room on the top floor of Wanghai Tower is the most expensive, but it also has the best view, overlooking the entire city of Tianjin.

Soon, with Battle, Hadan, and Huhe, they came to the sixth floor of the Neptune Tower, and looked at the entire Tianjin City through the glass window.

"Immortal God~"

"Is this the Heavenly Palace?"

"Incredible~"

"It's so beautiful~"

Battle and the others came to the sixth floor and overlooked the whole of Tianjin through the glass window, and they couldn't help but exclaim one by one, their eyes were stupid, and the scenery in front of them was unforgettable for a lifetime.
