On the border of Qi and Jiaozhou. A Qi army checkpoint is set here, because Jiaozhou was originally the territory of Qi State, therefore, Qi State did not set up decent defenses here, such as barbed wire and minefields. Not even the trenches were dug, just a platoon level was set up here.

Not far from the level, a team of civilians lurks here.

"Hey, I'm corny." A middle-aged man asked in a somewhat loud voice.

"Be quiet, you old white." The old man with a telescope at the front whispered.

"Let the soldiers catch it. Let your head eat the gun. The old man scolded.

"Those soldiers really dare to shoot, you know?" The old man scolded.

"Oh. I know. It's just, when are we leaving, it's Jiaozhou over there. We're there in a blink of an eye. The old white head said helplessly.

"Then wait until those soldiers eat and don't pay attention, otherwise, they will raise their guns and shoot, and the bullets will stop you, and you will die." Old-fashioned said.

"Squat, be careful, don't make a fire, don't make too loud noises." Old-fashioned said.

"Hey." The old white head nodded helplessly.

Not far away, two women excitedly waited for the signal. With the large number of people in the Jiaozhou area concentrated in Qingcheng, especially Qingcheng needs more and more labor, the port terminal needs a large number of stevedores. Shipyards need a large number of workers, and there are also processing plants set up here, which requires more labor, and even women have entered the factory area to work.

The radiation effect of Qingcheng is getting stronger and stronger, so more and more people go to Qingcheng District, and the labor force in Jiaozhou soon becomes insufficient, and as this radiation effect becomes stronger and stronger. The people of Qi in the border area of Qi and Jiaozhou also began to think about going to Qingcheng, because there is a salary there, and at home, they have food at most, and they eat casually in Qingcheng, which is a big gap. At the beginning, the people of Qi came to Qingcheng just to save food, because when a person went out to work, the food in the family was enough. But as soon as this opening opened, they found that it was much better to work outside than to farm at home.

"I've heard that our big dog is going out to work. In less than half a month, I earned 2,000 yuan over there. Do you know what 2,000 dollars is? A young woman said.

The woman with a five or six-year-old child on the other side shook her head, and she didn't know what the concept of this yuan was.

"It's a few hundred stones of grain, a person eats a few hundred stones of grain in this life, and he gets back a lifetime of grain in half a month alone. I saw that I still had canned food. That meat is so delicious. The young woman said. The woman with the child had an envious expression.

"Don't envy others, you went. Yes, you can. There's still a female worker over there. Female workers also make a lot of money. The old white head interjected at this time.

"I just went over there to work as a female worker, and my family didn't want to go, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been able to come." The woman said very strongly.

"Huh. I've heard that the wine over there is much cheaper. There was wine to drink every day, and there was plenty of meat, and even fish was enough. The old white head said.

"You know how to eat." The woman said disdainfully.

"Drink, just like our family, the wine money, if there is left, the baby will go to school." The woman said.

"That, I heard, can the babies over there go to school without money?" The woman with the child asked in a whisper.

"This. Yes, it seems to be like this, but when it is said over there, the big dog is not willing to marry a daughter-in-law, and says that he wants to find one in Qingcheng. The women over there are much prettier. The woman continued.

"Really?" The old white head asked. The woman gave the old man a white look.

And on the other side of the checkpoint, the soldiers can finally eat.

"I'm exhausted. Damn it. A corporal excitedly ate with his own bowl.

"And canned food." A private said excitedly.

"Be quiet, eat yours. The officials over there eat better, and this bit of meat will make you happy. The corporal said disdainfully.

"Oh." The private sighed at this time. Just as the soldiers were eating, Lao Tu saw the signal from the opposite side, and the smoke from the fire extinguishing flew up, and they led a group of people to quickly cross the border and enter the Jiaozhou area.

And the private over there was holding his bowl and accidentally watched such a scene.

"This, sir, there is a situation, someone has secretly crossed the border." Private said, holding the bowl. He was in a hurry and didn't know what to do.

And the corporal just stood up disdainfully. Only then did the private react, he put down his bowl, and then picked up his musket, he wanted to stop this from happening.

"Don't. Everyone is from Qi country, and they are all trying to survive. The corporal said as he held down the private's gun.

"Maybe your parents are in there, and you're shooting too?" The corporal asked.

"Tell you, if you shoot, there's no meat left in your bowl. Eat it thick like this at every meal. You'll have to switch to porridge. The corporal warned.

"Sir, this." The private looked at his corporal in confusion.

"Tell you, silly boy, don't take it seriously. Those are all our Qi people, they went to Jiaozhou, just to get a bite to eat, the food in Jiaozhou and Qingcheng is very cheap, when they go home, they will give us some canned food, food, use, your little military salary, is it enough to spend? Even if you buy it, you can't buy much. These things don't cost money yet. The corporal said.

"But. They. "Private entangled.

"Alright, alright. You're a fool, eat your food. If one bowl is enough, go and have another bowl. The corporal said impatiently. He looked at the old Tu Nabo from a distance and said after leaving.

In the border area, such a situation has happened many times, but the soldiers on the checkpoint did not go to how to manage, the reason is because, they think that there is no benefit in managing it, so it has become a default relationship, those people go to Jiaozhou Qingcheng to find work, when they come back, they give them some benefits, and then they take more people to Jiaozhou Qingcheng, so that more and more people go to Jiaozhou and go to Qingcheng. It's not new that something like this is happening. There will be no one to manage. On the contrary, those who manage receive a lot of benefits. Lao Tu is such a person, he specializes in giving them benefits, and then takes more to that side, and when he comes back, he gives them some benefits, and Lao Tu becomes a special transit dealer.
