Chapter 432: Zhang Xiaohua's Dream

The perspective returns to the Ming world.

It's a blink of an eye.

The time has come to February of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and the weather now seems to be warmer than in previous years, and it is no longer as cold as in the past.

On the one hand, the reason is that the impact of the Xiaoice Age is gradually fading, the climate is beginning to warm, and finally the coldest trough period will pass, and the situation in the future should be better and better, not colder.

Secondly, under the effect of the greenhouse effect, the temperature has also risen significantly, although the influencing factors are small, but it has reached the point where it cannot be ignored.

You must know that last year's Ming Empire, a total of 785 million tons of coal was consumed, of which Xujiazhuang alone consumed 575 million tons, used for steelmaking, fertilizer, power generation, heating and other aspects, and Xujiazhuang is now close to 100 million people, which is equivalent to nearly six tons of coal consumed per person, not including a large amount of oil, natural gas, biogas and other consumption, if these fuels are also counted, the fuel equivalent consumed per capita may be equivalent to ten tons of coal.

The quality of this consumption is higher than the per capita energy consumption of Huaxia in modern society, resulting in two or three billion tons of carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere every year, which seems to have no effect in the short term, but over time, at least in the area near Harbour City, there will indeed be a little warmer feeling, and the average temperature will be 0.12 degrees higher.

Although in modern society, the greenhouse effect is like a demon, which will lead to more heavy rainfall, more floods, more frequent abnormal weather, reduced food production, melting icebergs at the poles, rising sea levels, and some island countries are at risk of being submerged by sea level, and the sea water is significantly acidified, causing the extinction of some animals that are sensitive to acid-base changes...... There are a lot of negative effects.

But that's it.

In recent years, Xujiazhuang has also been crazy about purchasing coal, processing coal, burning coal, still purchasing in unlimited quantities, how much to collect, and also formulated a burning of three billion tons per year, lasting 50 years, the future will release more than 200 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, increase to about 0.5%, so that the average temperature of the entire planet, increase by about two degrees, although this does not seem to be much, but enough to make the water content in the atmosphere, significantly increase, so that rainfall in many areas increases, so that many inland arid lands are re-filled with water vapor, so that plants can grow and become places where they can live.

There are 60 degrees north latitude or even more northerly places, even if there will be five or six months a year in winter, but the hundreds of millions of acres or even billions of acres of black soil, can still have 120 days, become a suitable period for the growth of crops, so as to grow a lot of food, you know, because of the cold weather in the north, in fact, the number of insects is very small, and there are not many pests and diseases, so there is no need to spray too many pesticides, but also to achieve high yield, which is more suitable for the development of organic agriculture, with better agricultural prospects.

What's more, the terrain in the north is flat, as long as the land including Siberia is fully utilized, and one billion acres of fertile land are reclaimed, there is no big problem, even if the average yield per mu is only six or seven hundred catties, it can also feed a billion people, so that all the people of the Ming Empire will not lack food and will not fall into famine.

It's just that this carbon dioxide emission plan is really a bit too long, and the effect can't be seen immediately, otherwise, Xu Yuan is eager to enter the greenhouse state immediately, even if it will lead to frequent climate abnormalities.

The other side.

Xujiazhuang, in the harbor city.

Today, the city's population has swelled to the order of five million (this is just the data of locals, there are still two or three million migrant workers from other places, and the actual population is seven or eight million).

However, the area of the core urban area is only 500 square kilometers, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of people living in each square kilometer area.

This has led to the tension of land resources, housing prices began to soar, the urban planning department, but also had to plan a large number of high-rise apartments with a height of 24 floors, increase the plot ratio of the land, even if it is a villa purchased by the rich, it has generally increased to five and a half floors, and there are two basement floors, that is, seven and a half floors, so as to allow fifty or sixty people to live in to meet the living needs of a whole big family, otherwise the three-and-a-half-story villa is not enough at all, and in the harbor city, in order to prohibit the phenomenon of speculation, every family, Only the qualification to buy a house, can not apply to buy more, housing prices have also made restrictions, in addition to the construction of a large number of dormitories for workers, student groups to live, each room has five or six bunk beds, can live ten people, although slightly crowded, but the iron frame bed can barely sleep, at least than those thatched houses, adobe houses to live in comfortable, a lot of dormitory rooms, there are fans, air conditioners, TVs and other electrical appliances, which do not know how much happiness it brings, so that many workers who come to Harbour City to work and develop, They all feel that this place is far better than their hometown, so they want to settle down and don't want to return to their hometown.

Zhang Xiaohua is such a migrant worker who came to Harbour City for development.

He is eighteen years old this year, from an ordinary rural village in Jiangxi, relatively sturdy, fourteen years old began to wander outside, but doing physical work without much technical content, the salary is not very high, and later followed a relative, there is an opportunity to come to Harbour City to work, and the owner of Xujiazhuang, think that Jiangxi people are honest and reliable can endure hardships, will not steal and cheat, so the allocation of legal labor visa indicators, to Jiangxi Lao Table index is the most, there are 300,000.

And getting a legal labor visa means that you can engage in many kinds of work, you can operate all over the harbor city openly, and the income can also be guaranteed, if you are violated, you will also get the protection of the law, and if you don't have a legal labor certificate, the income will be obviously much lower At the same time, once you are reported and discovered, it is the result of being immediately expelled, and those who commit a crime are directly sent to the mine to mine, there is no accommodation to talk about, so it is very sad, but even so, in the harbor city, the number of black workers without labor certificates, There are at least one million people, most of whom are engaged in nannies, nurses, waiters, cleaners, etc., mainly women, after all, women are a vulnerable group, as long as they do not violate the law, even if they do not have a legal labor certificate, they are only criticized and educated, and then they are immediately released, only those who are secretly prostituted will be decisively expelled, because this kind of industry, there is often a serious criminal network behind it.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua has obtained a legal labor certificate, he has freedom of movement in the harbor city, as long as the rules are honest and honest, and even allowed to enter the factory and engage in the work of iron rice bowls, if he has a very good handicraft work, becomes a skilled worker, and has made outstanding contributions, it is not impossible to settle in the harbor city smoothly in the future.

Zhang Xiaohua, who is only eighteen years old, is a construction worker, busy working on the construction site every day, moving bricks, moving materials, or tying steel bars, beating ash, etc., mainly heavy physical labor, and the technical content is also a little, but not much, so what he earns is just a hard money, even if he is rated as a skilled worker, the salary for a day is 380 Wen, and occasionally overtime, a total of 400 Wen.

But to eat on the construction site, you have to eat 30 wen a day.

Living in a dormitory room costs 20 yuan a day.

With other expenses, the average is 10 wen per day.

The actual net income per day is about 340 Wen.

I can save about 10,000 wen every month, that is, ten silver dollars, and I can save 100 silver dollars after working for ten months a year.

This income level, placed in Harbour City, may not be nothing, belonging to the low-income class, but in the entire territory of Daming, it can be regarded as the middle and high-income class, and in the poorer surrounding areas of Daming, it is the high-income class, and it is a money-making person who can marry two or three daughters-in-law.

But Zhang Xiaohua, a migrant worker, is not particularly satisfied with this status quo, he still has higher ambitions and pursuits, and he has set three goals for himself, and wants to achieve all three goals before the age of 30.

The first goal is to successfully settle in Harbour City and become a part of the city, on the condition that he buy at least a commercial house worth 1,500 silver dollars - which is equivalent to the entire income of the local people in Harbour City for three years, and a migrant worker like Zhang Xiaohua will have to work hard for at least ten years before he can buy a house in full.

The second goal is to find a way to increase your monthly income and get a high-paying job, so that the rest of the money you save must be increased to at least 30 silver dollars per month, otherwise many goals will not be achieved at all.

The third goal is to find a beautiful, virtuous and gentle wife, and work with him, even if it is not so beautiful, it doesn't matter, as long as he can be gentle and virtuous, his Zhang Xiaohua's requirements are really not high, and he does not pay special attention to external conditions.

Well, in fact, the above three goals can actually be combined into one, that is, if you have money, as long as you have money and can make enough money, you can have a place in this city, you can have a place in the blind date market, you can have strong competitiveness, and you can be looked down upon by a girl, so as to start a family and solve your life's events.

It's just that what position can increase his salary level by more than three times, and can also make the employer ignore his close to illiterate education level and be willing to give him such a high salary.

This kind of work should theoretically not exist, and even if it exists, it is impossible to cheapen him, an outsider, who has long been robbed by the local people - no way, people leave their hometowns, and the locals just have some innate advantages, and it is useless for you to be envious and jealous, there is no absolute fairness in this world after all.

However, Harbour City is too big, there are too many opportunities here, as long as you have an enterprising heart to change your destiny and strive for progress, the door of opportunity will always open to you, as long as you are agile and the first to rush in, then you are one of the lucky few, so as to get a reward beyond the normal level.

Yada Studios.

This place is a heart area that only began to be developed last year, it is said that a full 50 square kilometers of area has been demarcated, to build a variety of scenes, what city towers, rockery gardens, indoor studios and other facilities are all available, the main purpose is to develop the cultural and entertainment industry, and to film and television drama shooting as the core focus, to build the Ming Empire's most important film and television drama shooting base, with the goal of producing hundreds of works a year, to become the production center of the Ming Dynasty's spiritual food.

After the completion of the construction of this film and television city, it is said that the commonly used group performances are 20,000 or 30,000, and the special actors, small drama bones, old drama bones, leading actors, stars, etc., are more than 1,000 people, and then driven by the cultural strategy, no less than 100 high-quality works will be produced every year, enriching the cultural life of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time bringing no less than 50 million silver dollars of economic output value, which may increase to hundreds of millions of silver dollars in the future, and bring more than 100,000 related jobs.

After learning this information.

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes suddenly lit up.

Opportunity.

He saw an opportunity.

The chance to change your destiny and at the same time make a lot of money.

Actor.

He wanted to change careers to become an actor.

You don't need a particularly big angle, you can become the kind of character that makes people feel familiar on the screen, a role with a little line is enough, regardless of the positive angle or the negative angle, as long as he is given such an opportunity, he will definitely grasp it well, and he will never let Bole who fancy him down, nor can he let himself down.

But what if he doesn't have acting skills? What if I can't act and don't have systematic learning?

Learn.

Self-study, groping for learning, observing more, watching more, thinking more, finding the know-how inside, over time, will always sum up something useful.

What's more, it's not that he doesn't have his own advantages, that is, his appearance is still relatively handsome and thoughtful, at least it is more pleasing to the eye, not the kind of image that is not photogenic and unpleasant, this is his innate advantage.

And he also found a job moving bricks in Yatian Film and Television City, which allowed him to run to the crew next to him as a bystander every day after moving the bricks, to see how others acted, from other people's performances, to find out some routines, to understand, into his own things, and then in private, he would also perform for himself, or imitate, even if this behavior was very strange and embarrassing, but he still insisted, even if it sometimes looked weird and awkward, but he never had the idea of giving up, Do it over and over again.

Opportunities are often reserved for those who are prepared.

More than a month later, a certain crew recruited a group performer, and more than 50 people were recruited at once, Zhang Xiaohua immediately seized this opportunity, successfully became a group performer, put on a set of soldiers' clothes, and then became a small soldier, and was soon hacked to death by the protagonist and turned into a corpse on the ground.

During the whole performance, Zhang Xiaohua almost flashed in the camera, without half a line, and in terms of remuneration, he only took 200 yuan and took care of a box lunch.

But Zhang Xiaohua was still very satisfied, thinking that this was a very good start, and then devoted himself to the cause of group performance with greater effort and enthusiasm.
