Chapter 237, visit Tianjin City

In the city of Tianjin, Liu Jin strolled on the streets very leisurely, although the famine had basically passed, but the prosperity of Tianjin had not been affected much.

Tianjin Port, Tianjin Shipyard, Tianjin Cement Factory, Tianjin Maritime College, plus many new cement factories, etc., have made the whole Tianjin more prosperous and lively.

Many people who don't have land even decide not to go back, this time they go back to farming, facing the loess at the end of the year, the result is often that the family is hard to eat, it is better to stay in Tianjin, and now people are recruiting everywhere.

And because many of Liu Jin's industries are set up in Tianjin, in terms of salary, it is natural to be on par with Tianjin Cement Factory, Tianjin Glass Factory and Tianjin Shipyard.

This package of three meals a day and accommodation is the most basic, as for this salary, Tianjin, which has returned to normalization, if this salary is less than 30 wen a day, no one will do anything for you.

In Tianjin, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you have a stable salary, and Tianjin is the first to set off the marine fishing industry because of the sea, and this variety of marine fish is not only transported to the capital for sale, in fact, most of them are still sold in Tianjin, the price is very cheap, and it is still sold for a penny a catty.

After a comprehensive comparison of many aspects, many, many victims chose to stay in Tianjin, making the whole Tianjin more prosperous and lively.

"It's much more lively than before."

Liu Jin looked at the lively street, smiled and said to Zhao Erhu beside him.

"It's a lot more lively, but the streets of Tianjin are still too narrow, far less clean, tidy and spacious than the outside of the city."

Zhao Erhu nodded, and then looked at the low houses and narrow streets in Tianjin, which were still ordinary roads and were not paved with cement, which was a little unaccustomed to Zhao Erhu, who was used to walking on cement roads.

"Well, it's the old town after all."

Liu Jin smiled and nodded, now there is a distinction between the old city and the new city in Tianjin.

This old city is naturally the city of Tianjin where the two of them are now, everything in this city is almost the same as before, there is not much change, there is a city wall outside, it is a standard city of this era.

The new urban area is an area where Tianjin Port, Tianjin Shipyard, Tianjin Cement Factory and other areas are gathered, and all the large areas of land in these areas have been bought by Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao for centralized planning.

All the houses, streets, neighborhoods, factory areas, etc. are neatly planned, and all are connected by cement roads, the roads are spacious, the houses are neat, and there is no city wall to protect the periphery, which is in stark contrast to the old city.

Similarly, the old city is dominated by the aborigines of Tianjin, who are all considered to be the natives of Tianjin, while the new city is mainly an alien population, basically Tianjin port, Tianjin shipyard, Tianjin cement factory and many other employees of Liu Jin's industry.

Of course, these people are mainly people from the prefectures and counties around Tianjin and Beizhili, and they are not like later generations, and the people in an industrial city are people from all over the world.

The emergence of the old and new urban areas can be regarded as giving the whole Tianjin city a bit of the flavor of the industrialized towns of later generations, which is completely different from this era.

Especially in Tianjin New Town, because they are basically employees of the industry under Liu Jin, they are basically the same as the Xishan Coal Industry in Beijing, everyone cuts their hair short and wears uniform clothes, which looks very incompatible with the dress of people in this era, with a strong industrial atmosphere of later generations.

"Steamed buns~steamed buns~"

"Cooking cakes~Cooking cakes~"

"Sugar painted~Sugar painted~"

"Fresh seafood, fresh seafood, seafood that just got off the boat~"

"Recruitment, recruitment, Li's Cement Factory has recruited, including food and accommodation, thirty wen a day~"

“……”

Listening to all kinds of noisy sounds on the street, and then looking at this lively street, the flow of people, the hustle and bustle, restaurants, shops, small stalls, hawkers, rivers and lakes, all kinds of everything, Liu Jin's face also showed a strong interest.

"Boss, what kind of stuffing do you have with this bun?"

Thinking of the most famous dog in Tianjin in the future, Liu Jin couldn't help but buy a few steamed buns to taste.

"Childe, all my buns are filled with pork, as long as you pay a penny, do you want to have some?"

The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he saw the business, he also enthusiastically began to sell it.

"Let's have ten~"

Liu Jin looked at Zhao Erhu beside him, and estimated that he was talking one by one, and he couldn't even taste the taste if he didn't buy a few more.

"Okay~"

When the boss heard this, he immediately laughed even more, and hurriedly began to wrap ten buns in paper.

"Delicious~Delicious~"

Here, Zhao Erhu took out ten copper plates from his pocket, and then began to eat in a hurry, just as Liu Jin expected, one bite at a time, swallowing dates, gluttonous eating, and praising again and again while eating.

Hearing Zhao Erhu's evaluation, the boss said with a smile: "This is my ancestral craft, and it is also well-known in Tianjin. ”

Liu Jin took a bun and tasted it methodically, to be honest, the taste is actually average, especially the pigs of this era are basically not castrated, and this pork also has this smell, although the boss added some spices to cover it up, but the taste of this spice makes this bun taste a little less delicious.

After only eating one bun, Liu Jin didn't eat it anymore, and the rest of the buns, Zhao Erhu wiped them all out cleanly, and he didn't even look like he was having fun.

"When will this Tianjin dog ignore the buns come out?"

Liu Jin shook his head slightly, and the machinery walked around the streets of Tianjin.

Soon I came to a place where acrobatics were playing, and there were a lot of people here, and everyone was crowded around to watch the people in the center of the venue perform all kinds of acrobatics.

Crushing boulders in the chest, breathing fire, swallowing swords, turning saucers...... All kinds of acrobatics also attracted a lot of applause, and the copper coins rewarded were also like rain.

This makes the boss of the acrobatic troupe also full of smiles, making people work harder to perform, this Tianjin person is really as rich as the legend, and this reward is more than the people in the capital.

"It's average, it's just that this turntable is a bit technical, and it seems that the level of acrobatics in this ancient world is not very good."

Liu Jin, who came from later generations, naturally watched all kinds of acrobatics on TV, and he was also very clear about the principles of these acrobatics.

Whether it's a broken boulder on the chest, a fire-breathing sword, or a sword, there is no technical content in it at all, it's all things that fool people, that is, people in this era, the information is not smooth, everyone knows little, it looks very strange, and it feels amazing.

Throwing down a handful of copper coins, Liu Jin also took Zhao Erhu to continue shopping, and soon came to a special place for recruitment, here, there are newly established cement factories are in full swing to recruit people, and at the same time there are other people from all walks of life who are recruiting, and there are special introduction to the tooth line, and they are very attentive to continue to talk to people, asking if the other party has any plans to work, and they can help introduce the owner.

"Thirty wen a day, to do six hours a day, it's really black enough~"

Liu Jin looked at the recruitment revelations of a cement factory with great interest (this is also learning from Liu Jin's side), although because of the exemplary role of many industries under Liu Jin's command, everyone generally includes board and lodging, and the salary is also 30 Wen.

But all cement plants, all kinds of workshops, etc., basically require round-the-clock work, at least six hours.

That's 12 hours a day, and in addition to eating and sleeping, there will be no personal time for yourself, and some black-hearted ones will even stay longer, and there will be no rest days at all.

This made Liu Jin also couldn't help but shake his head, in this era, there are no clear divisions and regulations such as rest days and working hours.

That is, here in Tianjin, everyone has been affected by many industries under Liu Jin, so they will stipulate how many hours they will work in the next day, and they will also have food and accommodation.

If in other places in the Ming Dynasty, once you sign and become someone's hired laborer, you are basically like a slave, you have to be busy all day long, and there is little rest.

But this is such a condition, in the Ming Dynasty, it is still something that countless people can't ask for, there is food, housing, and wages, which is unimaginable for many ordinary people living at the bottom.

Therefore, the whole recruitment area is very lively, and many people who are stranded in Tianjin and want to stay in Tianjin are successively recruited by cement factories and workshops.

"Take your time, capital needs to be accumulated, and in the same way, the development of capital also needs a process, and the sweatshop stage is definitely a stage that must be passed."

After reading it slowly from beginning to end, Liu Jin also thought about it and felt that there was no fuss, not to mention that this is the Ming Dynasty, even in later generations, this 996 work system is also very popular, in fact, everyone is also fighting, boiling, that is, this nation is full of resilience, like an old cow, hard work.

Continue to walk on the streets of Tianjin, Tianjin City is not too big, but it is also a sparrow, although it is small, there are even places like Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and life is very hot.

In broad daylight, the scantily clad girls are also enthusiastic and constantly flattering the guests passing by on the street, as for a son-in-law like Liu Jin, he is naturally the sisters' favorite guest.

Handsome, and gentle, the key is more gold, as long as you serve well, you will even redeem yourself for you, and stage a story that sisters most longed for and wanted.

When Liu Jin was in the capital, he was annoyed because he passed by a few times, so when he saw this kind of place, he also took Zhao Erhu far away.

Liu Jin, who came from later generations, was not interested in these places at all, who knows if he will be infected with any strange diseases, you must know that there are no protective measures in this era.

On the contrary, Zhao Erhu looked interested, and while walking, he frequently looked at the sister upstairs, which made Liu Jin have to think that it was time for Zhao Erhu to find a partner.

"Hurry up, hurry up, finally have cement to buy, finally cement to buy~"

"Finally cement for sale?"

"But no, hurry up, it's too late."

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go together, my house has been too long, and I'm preparing to build a new house, but I'm going to build it according to the house here in Tianjin Port, this cement is indispensable~"

"But no, I'm going to lay the yard at home, it's too expensive to use bricks, it's better to use cement, save money, it's smooth, and it's clean."

Hurriedly walked over to the 'red light district', when Zhao Erhu's face was still red, Liu Jin noticed that someone around him was hurriedly running forward, and he kept shouting to each other while walking.

"Let's go, let's see~"

Liu Jin immediately became interested, and he also walked over.

Soon, Liu Jin and the others came to a street, only to see a long queue on the street.

Liu Jin walked over and took a look, it was a shop, and everyone was lining up to buy cement.

"The cement in our store is produced in Tianjin Cement Factory, a barrel of cement is sold for 50 catties and 30 Wen, and the price can be discounted for a large amount~"

The first thing Liu Jin saw was the sign hanging at the door of the cement shop, the content on it was very simple, briefly introducing the origin of the cement in the store, which was from the authentic Tianjin Cement Factory cement, and then introduced the price of the cement, but there was not much information in addition.

This way of recruiting workers or introducing things is naturally learned from many industries under Liu Jin, and it is also a popular way in Tianjin.

Whether it is recruiting workers or selling goods, such a way is popular in Tianjin, which is completely different from doing business in the past.

In the past, when I did business, I liked to kill many times, and if I wasn't an acquaintance, the price would be much higher, so many times I did business between acquaintances.

But because of Liu Jin's beginning, everyone is now slowly discovering the benefits of this kind of clear price trading, whether it is an acquaintance or not, this is open to trading, and the business is much easier to do than before, so it is also popular in Tianjin in a short period of time.

Of course, this is also because Liu Jin took the lead, and the people here in Tianjin are slowly getting used to and liking the shops, vendors and the like that do this business, because they are not afraid of being killed, and they will not be deceived or anything.

Liu Jin didn't walk into the cement shop, but just watched quietly outside, silently counting.

The business of the cement shop is quite good, and the boss is very good at doing business, divided into two sales areas, a retail sales area for ordinary people, everyone is lined up in a long line, basically a barrel of two barrels of trading, not too big.

The other area is the area where the boss and the shopkeeper personally entertain them, with good tea waiting for them, and the reception is also some well-dressed businessmen, outsiders, gentry, etc., and the volume of business is naturally very large, often hundreds of barrels, or even thousands of transactions.

"Sun Xin is doing a good job here, and he can worry a lot less about the cement business in the future."

Seeing that cement was selling well, Liu Jin was also relieved.
