Chapter 187 The night market in front of China Heavy Industries
The gate of China Heavy Industry is facing the steam engine factory, but with the coke refinery, fertilizer workshop, tar workshop, railway plant, engineering team headquarters, railway engineering team headquarters, the dormitory area of each factory, and the center line has been transferred.
The iron tower of more than 50 meters high can be seen from a very distance, and the first time the Ming people saw it, they were shocked by this height, and they only felt towering into the clouds.
The cart full of red dates stopped on the side of the road, and the man hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to push the cart full of red dates again and move towards the Zhonghua Heavy Factory area.
The artisan households in Northeast Tai Village have basically entered China Heavy Industry, and the man is a little envious in his eyes, and more apprehensive.
The dark-skinned, medium-sized, sleeveless coarse cloth coat with straw sandals tied to his feet, dressed as a standard peasant household.
Like a rabbit, he finally found an open space and cowered behind the car.
"Straddle."
"Straddle."
……
He didn't know that the factory area he was close to was a newly moved rail yard, and there were many huge machines in it, and the sound made him more and more awe-inspiring.
These voices made by unknown objects left an unknowable impression of China Heavy Industry in his heart.
Everyone is envious of entering China Heavy Industry to work, but China Heavy Industry has never recruited workers in the private sector.
Of course, there used to be, and there were also craftsmen in the people, literate and account-settling people, but the man's information was blocked, and in his cognition, it was not ordinary people who could enter China Heavy Industry to work.
"Dangdangdang."
The bell rang for the end of the factory, and after half an hour, workers left the factory one after another, some lived in Northeast Tai Village, and some lived in the factory dormitory.
Those workers in uniform uniforms, in groups of three or five, were full of vitality, and the men squatted next to the car, not daring to look at it.
"How did you come up with the idea of selling red dates, I haven't eaten this thing for a long time." Li Er got off work and was about to go home, and saw that there were jujubes sold here, so he walked over.
The man was startled, and he didn't know Xiao Er, thinking that he was an ordinary worker, but he still couldn't let go, and he spoke quietly.
"We're from Xiashui Village." The man beckoned.
He really had no choice, so he mustered up the courage to take out the red dates at home and sell them, thinking that it was the only way he could think of to give it a try.
"It's quite far, dozens of miles, it's getting dark this day, you have to go home in the dark." Li Er said as he chose a few red dates.
The man didn't say much, he only knew how to smirk.
Li Er didn't say hello either, and ate two by himself, "The taste is okay, how can you sell it?" ”
The corners of the man's mouth moved, and he finally said, "Five cents a catty." ”
Li Er didn't hesitate when he heard this, he asked for two catties, and the man weighed it with a weighing rod, and then packed it with lotus leaves.
The man received ten cents, and Li Er left with red dates and forgot to thank him, looking at the copper coins in his hand and only knowing how to smirk.
He didn't expect it to open so easily.
Success gave him great courage.
He inquired about the price of jujubes, like a large sweet jujube, the most expensive can be sold for 25 yuan a catty.
However, his family's red dates are ordinary, and he doesn't dare to sell them so expensive, and the five cents have already satisfied him.
If this car can be sold out today, the three or five hundred catties of red dates in the family will be sold for two taels of silver in a few days.
In a few days, he earned two taels of silver, as if he was dreaming.
It's just that the reality disappointed him, and when Li Er left, although a few people came to take a look, they left quickly.
Half an hour later, there were no pedestrians, and Li Er pushed the two-wheeled vehicle home in discouragement.
Ten dollars a day, three dollars a month is three dollars of silver, I don't know if the red dates at home can be sold out, first happy and then sad, so that the man is a little lost.
On the second day, the man came again and sold three catties.
On the third day, a pound was sold.
On the fourth day, five catties were sold.
Day 5.
"Two pounds."
"I want three pounds."
"If it's cheaper, I'll ask for five pounds."
More and more people came to buy red dates, the man didn't expect that the business would be so good today, he smiled from ear to ear, compared to the first day, the man was more skilled.
In half a month, the family's hundreds of catties of red dates were sold, and the man earned a full 2,000 yuan.
I bought medicine with my mother-in-law, and with the rest of the money, the man thought about it and began to buy red dates from the surrounding area at a low price to sell.
Just when he was dreaming of making a fortune, a newcomer came to the gate of the Zhonghua Heavy Factory area, who was also selling red dates.
The two of them fought, and the newcomer was broken by the man, but the newcomer was killed and didn't leave, and finally sold on the side.
Then chestnuts, pastries, groceries, and more and more vendors came here.
Chung Hwa Heavy Industries has several thousand workers.
The engineering team has 10,000 or 20,000 workers, each of whom should be on an errand, or assigned a slot at the construction site, and will return to the headquarters several times a month.
Coming and going, many people buy some things.
Some people even came to open a restaurant, but the canteen did not serve alcohol, and the factory canteen did not allow alcohol, and some workers occasionally came to satisfy their hunger after work.
Not long after, Zhu Gaochi was busy late, and it was already evening when he left, and he usually left in the afternoon, but on this day he suddenly found that a market had formed at the gate of Zhonghua Heavy Factory.
"Do you want to get rid of it?" The new clerk asked cautiously.
"Why rush." Zhu Gaochi asked rhetorically, and the new document didn't dare to speak.
"Don't underestimate these people."
"Today we have given dozens of households the work to make a living, and tomorrow we will add dozens of more jobs, one in the east and one in the west, and how many people can be solved in a year."
Zhu Gaochi taught.
Isn't that what the Hereafter will be?
Savvy peasants went into the city, transported their produce to the city, sold it to civil servants and workers, and became the first to eat crabs.
Even if only the lives of dozens of households are solved in the end, Zhu Gaochi does not feel that he can ignore it.
In all aspects, after long-term accumulation, the effect achieved can be shocking, and it is the development of the rural economy that liberates the population from the land.
Zhu Gaochi pointed and explained: "Set up a few pillars in that area as soon as possible and install kerosene lamps to facilitate their business." ”
With the permission of the little prince, this bazaar is justified.
The workers of the engineering team, in just one day, erected five lampposts, burning kerosene, and even covered them with glass covers.
Before dark, someone would light a kerosene lamp from under the lampshade with a long pole.
The fame grew, which attracted more vendors.
"How do chickens sell."
"You have a holiday tomorrow, go home today." The hawker is very enthusiastic and enthusiastic.
The worker was incredulous and asked curiously, "You can guess this." ”
"Hey, you guys have four days off every month, and the factory has a package of food, so you must have taken it home." The peddler laughed.
Then he grabbed a fat chicken from the basket, and the chicken flared its wings desperately, but it could not move in the hands of the peddler.
"How's this one?"
"Yes, how much?"
"Count it cheaper, only forty-five yuan."
"It's expensive."
The peddler showed a pained face, and finally gritted his teeth: "You give forty wen and take it, and next time you will take care of the business." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The workers were satisfied.
Carrying the chicken, I walked to the railway platform of Northeast Tai Village, waited for the railway carriage, paid the car, and went back to the health center in Daxing County.
But the gambling house also came to the door.
I rented a private house in Daxing County, put up a curtain, and went from one table to two tables, two tables to five tables.
Although the number of workers in the Zhonghua Heavy Factory area is far less than that of the urban population, all of them are workers.
It's all money bags with extra money, and the gambling house is better than the vendors, and they have long been eyeing here, but they haven't dared to try.
Now that the bazaars are there, the gambling house finally can't help it.
Money often unmakes the men who make it.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang banned gambling very strictly, but he could not stop the atmosphere left over from the previous dynasty, from the princes and nobles to the common people.
Gambling houses have never been banned.
The workers have money, they have extra time, and they have nothing to do, and the methods of the gambling house will attract people, and before you know it, there are some gamblers in the factory.
Even if it is a day of work, after work, I will go to the gambling house in Daxing County.
The action is very secretive, after all, the gambling house is located in Daxing County, not in Northeast Tai Village, so the movement has not been large, and it has been circulated on a small scale.
But the paper can't hold the fire, when Zhou Shifeng accidentally learned about it, he was startled, he knew the temperament of the little prince, and he reported it as soon as possible.
Zhu Gaochi was furious when he heard this.
The gambling house dared to open to his head, and he knew that it was not the gambling house that dared to offend him, but that these things were the norm, and no one usually cared about them.
"Raided the gambling house." Zhu Gaochi instructed Li Biao.
That day.
Li Biao led the guards into the city and broke into the gambling house like a wolf, and the people in the gambling house learned that they were the guards of the palace and did not dare to resist at all.
The shopkeeper who opened the gambling house was so frightened that he went around looking for someone to intercede.
The county magistrate of Daxing County did not dare to find the little prince at all, he had a gambling house in his own governance, and ordinary people were not afraid of him, but the palace learned that if he was investigated, he couldn't bear it.
The factory economy has finally gained some vitality, and all bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods are eyeing it.
Zhu Gaochi sternly told Zhou Shifeng to reiterate the ban on gambling.
Official documents were received in each workshop.
"Any worker who participates in gambling will be fired immediately, and any gambling house that attracts workers of China Heavy Industry will be immediately raided."
Not only that, but also emphasized: "Qinglou is forbidden to set foot in Northeast Taiwan Village." ”
"Isn't it a little impersonal?" Li Biao, the commander of the guards, couldn't help but suggest.
The gambling house should be banned, but the Qinglou is also banned, how can those guys bear it.
When people have money, their desires are not only material, but also physiological.
I can't help it.
Many workers went to the alleys of the city every once in a while.
Zhu Gaochi thought about it, so he found the manager of the engineering team and asked the engineering team to find a place to establish several Keju venues.
"The establishment of Kemari to give workers a place to move at night not only satisfies spiritual needs, but also prevents people from gambling."
Keju is similar to football, and can only use your feet and not your hands, but the game of Keju is too difficult, and it is required that Keju cannot land.
Therefore, Zhu Gaochi combined the style of football and changed it slightly, and Keju could land to win by lifting it into the opponent's goal.
