In the new city of Tangshan, the original Dutch-Indian Governor's Palace has been bulldozed, and the ruins that smell of gunpowder are gone, replaced by a busy construction site.

Looking at the new business district that is gradually taking shape, Situ Nan is in a good mood.

The city of New Tangshan is divided into two areas, north and south, and the northern area near the port, which was originally flattened by the artillery fire of the South China Army, will become the shipping center and commercial center of the new Tangshan City after reconstruction, and it will also be the seat of government offices.

The Nanhua government has already circled a large area of land to build a government office building, and the heads of the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Communications and other departments have also circled the land for the new building early, waiting for the scenery to settle in a few years.

In addition to government agencies, there are also a large number of commercial establishments that are also staking their ground.

Needless to say, Meihua Company directly won 100,000 acres of land in the city center in one go, and prepared to build a large number of buildings to house countless industries of Meihua Company.

In addition to the American Chinese Company, American giants such as Robles Securities, Occidental Petroleum Company, Wells Fargo, Bethlehem Company, and Giant Company have also set up branches in New Tangshan City.

This has become the main direction of their future overseas investment.

Not to be outdone, other Chinese families have been staking their land in the capital, and they have already regarded New Tangshan City as the base of their future families.

The land was very cheap, because the title deeds were either in the hands of the government or the American Chinese company, and in order to attract investment, the South China government almost half sold and half gave away the land, not only for companies with close ties to South China, but also for British and Dutch businessmen.

Many speculators saw a huge business opportunity and began to boom the land in New Tangshan City. At the same time, a large number of Chinese immigrants poured into Nanhua, so that the scale of the new Tangshan city expanded again and again, and the entire urban area has doubled.

And that's not even counting the industrial zones in the new Tangshan City in the future.

The Dutch did not stay in any industry, so the industrial area of New Tangshan City was put down in the southern suburbs, 50 kilometers away from the city.

At that time, most of the factories in New Tangshan City will be located in the Southern Industrial Zone. Yu Mingyu is directing the Ministry of Industry to conduct a geographical survey of the southern region. Gather more information. Wait for foreign experts to arrive, and then design and construct.

The government of South China is organizing engineering teams to build railways and highways from the industrial zone to the city, and they connect the city of Guò. Until the port.

The bulldozer rattled and rumbled, and the huge dozer shovel turned over the hard dirt. The driver, Lao Qi, sat in the cab. Concentrate on controlling the bulldozer, and my heart is full of excitement.

Damn, this big Yanma is energetic, much stronger than the one that Lao Tzu drove on the farm.

He looked back and saw a roller behind him, a huge grinder rolling back and forth, pressing the earthwork tightly and effortlessly. Leaving a straight and spacious road surface behind.

This is what the little teachers in the night school call the efficiency of machinery?

Lao Qi thought to himself.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it in Medan. He was mobilized to join the security team. Then there was training, and I got rid of the skin. Unfortunately, the Dutch were so indifferent that the security team did not participate in a single battle, but followed the army all the way south from Medan.

After the army in front took the city, they left a small garrison, leaving the city to the security team, and then rushed to the next battlefield.

In this way, in the past six months, Lao Qi's group of people came from Medan to New Tangshan, the new capital of South China, in a daze.

After the end of the war, the security team also became an engineering team. However, instead of returning to the farm to carry the hoe after putting down the gun, they became construction workers.

To the surprise of these people, there are a large number of machines in the engineering team, and there is no need for workers to pick up hoes and "gnaw" huge amounts of earthwork little by little, they only need to follow the machine, under the guidance of those American technicians, tie the steel, and then the huge concrete mixer spits out a large amount of concrete from its pocket and lays it on the finished road.

In a few moments, a brand new sturdy road was formed, and in a few days it would be ready for use.

The weather was hot, sitting in the cab, sweating, Lao Qi paused for a while, picked up the kettle next to him and poured it violently.

Looking back, the road roller has been some distance away from himself, Lao Qi calculated in his heart, from seven o'clock in the morning to half past eleven now, in less than 5 hours, the bulldozer has shoveled 200 meters of soil, a large number of earthwork from the high place was shoveled down in the low-lying place, if you want to do it manually, this can be done until the year of the monkey! Machine work is much better than human work.

Lao Qi sighed in his heart, and patted the "big Yanma" under his ass with some love, this iron guy is too good at drinking oil, and his appetite for the tractor when he was on the farm was much better, and he had to refuel several times a day.

This is a section of the road leading to the wharf in the downtown area of New Tangshan City, and the old road will be replaced by a new and sturdy concrete highway. A cool breeze was blowing in his face, and Lao Qi could almost smell the waves, as if the road was about to be repaired to the dock.

He refreshed his spirits, put back on the gear, and started the bulldozer to continue working.

He now cherishes this job very much, and he is very satisfied with the salary of 1 South Chinese Dollar a day. He has now begun to adapt to the new money of the South Chinese Dollar, 1 South China Dollar is equal to 0.5 US dollars, which is equivalent to 1.2 oceans, and a month's salary costs 36 oceans.

That's a lot of wages!

In the past, when I worked on the farm, I only had about ten oceans a month, how could it be as generous as it is now?

In addition to remitting 20 oceans back to Tangshan's hometown every month, you can also save more than a dozen oceans every month, and work for another three or five years, isn't it richer than the landlord's old wealth in your hometown?

Lao Qimei thought to himself.

After the end of the war, the South China government fulfilled its promise to give 20 acres of land to each soldier who participated in the war and was willing to return to work on the farm.

Soldiers who are willing to stay in the city and join the engineering corps are given the same amount of land, but they are temporarily rented to farms for cultivation, and they can receive a rent every year. At the same time, the company raised the wages of engineering team members by a large amount.

Personnel with certain skills like Lao Qi are the most popular, and their wages are three or four times higher than the public capital of ordinary workers.

"Drop-" A loud whistle sounded, and the faces of the workers who were working were relaxed, because they would soon be able to leave work.

"Brother Seven, when will you bring your family over? I thought it would be better for my brother to come over, and instead of staying at home and plowing the landlord's fields, it would be better to cultivate my own fields. Well, it's better to let my parents come over too. ”

A muscular young man picked his teeth with a wistful expression on his face. He is Lao Qi's neighbor, so he is also called Xiao Hachi by other workers. Because he is more than ten years younger than Lao Qi, if he hadn't followed Lao Qi, he would have returned to work on the farm by now.

"Makes sense. I thought it was time to come over. In two days, I will write a letter to my family, let's come over together, and we can take care of it. Lao Qi touched his chin and said.

"Brother Seven, there's something I want you to help with, okay?" Hachi is a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter? Tell me about it! Lao Qi was a little reserved.

"We have a lot of brothers, and I have three younger brothers under me, they are all teenagers and can work, I ask them to work on the construction site, can you talk to the foreman?"

"That's what happened, no problem. Now that people are being recruited everywhere, don't you see that the company is directly at the dock, pulling a carload of people over every day? They are training now, and in a week, they will be on the construction site. ”

Lao Qi was a little mysterious.

"Huh? Still hiring? Isn't this the project going to be completed soon? Hachi was a little puzzled.

"! It's just the beginning, and the road we're building is just an appetizer. Let me tell you, yesterday when I was talking to that Yankee, he told me that after the road was built, we were going to build the railroad. I heard that it is a railway that surrounds the entire large island, and it will employ hundreds of thousands of workers? ”

Lao Qi said solemnly.

"What? Hundreds of thousands? Oh my god! That's a big deal! Hachi was surprised, and with his knowledge, it was really hard to imagine how huge the round-the-island railway project was.

"That's why I let you do it! The engineering team is about to expand, and then the opportunity for us old people to come out will come, don't you say? ”

Old Seven Ways. Seeing that Xiaoba was stunned by what he said, like a chicken pecking rice, he couldn't help but be a little proud.

A few days ago, he was also this kind of expression in front of the foreman. The foreman told him that there would be a new batch of machines to arrive next month, and that the engineering team would be expanded, and that he would be promoted at that time.

So in the past few days, Lao Qi's watch xiàn has been very eye-catching, as if he has endless strength.

"Brother! Listen to my brother's words, plowing the field is useless, just send your younger brothers to work on the construction site, you brothers work together, where do you need the old couple in the family to suffer again. ”

Lao Qi kindly reminded.

"By the way, if he's still young, send him to school! If you don't need money, learn some culture and have a good future, don't be stingy with that money, it's not worth it. Lao Qi said with feelings.

He used to know a co-worker, who was not as good at work as he was, but he was motivated and good at studying, and when he was on the farm, he actively attended night school, but now he has become the squadron leader of the engineering team, that is, the boss of Lao Qi's boss.

This incident made Lao Qi angry, and he regretted how he learned a few more words in the years he was on the farm? Otherwise, you don't have to be complacent about being a squad leader now, right?

He also knew that there were some literate people on the farm, and when they joined the security team, they passed the guò selection exam, were admitted to the military academy, and heard that they were training foreign languages, and they were going to be sent to study abroad!

To this day, Lao Qi somewhat understands why the farm manager said that if you learn a few more words, you will be much better than others in the future.

"Drop-" There was a loud whistle, and the workers who had taken a break were driven to the construction site again, braving the scorching sun to continue to sway their youth and sweat.

"The eldest son of the family came over and sent him to study, I heard that his academic performance is good, and he will rely on him in the future."

Lao Qi stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the bulldozer let out a roar, as if he was unwilling, and shoveled down the earthwork with some venting.
