The fishing ships of the Tang Empire, which are larger in tonnage, more mechanized and equipped with more advanced equipment, can catch more fish at ten times the speed. These catches can fill the market and enrich people's dining tables.
The price of fish has been reduced, but this does not mean that ordinary people can afford fish. On the contrary, in the past, ordinary people were not willing to consume this kind of seafood because it was expensive and the quantity was not large.
Therefore, only people along the coast eat fish, while in other areas, people will not eat fish because the transportation costs, fishing costs, and preservation costs are too high.
But now, because the fishing volume is too large and transportation conditions have improved, fish and seafood have begun to penetrate inland along railways and roads, becoming another choice for ordinary people.
Going to the market brings more consumption by the people. In the past, it was enough to just buy potatoes to survive, but now there are vegetables, meat, and seafood... Then, not being able to afford it has become a fatal problem.
question.
Finding ways to make more money has become the first thing that people in many places now strive for: the rule of the Tang Empire has brought countless opportunities, and it is obviously a good idea to seize these opportunities and become rich.
The Tang Empire was not stingy and even generously provided a large number of employment opportunities to the people in the occupied areas. If no one was qualified, the Tang Empire also provided training services.
Even this kind of training service is free. As long as someone is willing to learn, the relevant personnel of the Tang Empire are willing to teach.
It turned out that Sun Sheng was not called Sun Sheng, but Sun Sheng, which was in line with the rule that a cheap name can make a living. Later, when he grew up, he also disliked that his name was not good-sounding, so he took advantage of the Tang Empire's population statistics to change his name.
The name was changed to Sun Sheng.
He worked at the dock before and learned a few words. Therefore, he was more or less a "senior intellectual" in Shu and could directly learn some techniques.
The textbook in front of Sun Sheng didn't have a few words, but more pictures. There were several joysticks drawn on it, describing the functions of these joysticks.
"If I want the crane to rotate to this side...which joystick should I move?" The teacher on the podium slapped the operating table drawn with chalk on the blackboard with his hand, and asked loudly: "Sun Sheng! Come on!
answer!"
Sun Sheng was excited, stood up and replied honestly: "Teacher, it's the second joystick on the left hand!"
"Very good!" The teacher's eyes lit up. After praising him, he walked back to his desk and sorted out his materials: "That's all for today. When you go back, you should remember more and practice more! Tomorrow is the practical day.
Come on, don’t embarrass me!"
"Stand up!" Everyone stood up amid shouts and bowed to the teacher: they came here to study for free, so naturally they were grateful.
In the eyes of poor people like them, these eating skills are easily passed on to others. Now there are people who really teach them carefully, which was unimaginable in the past.
If it weren't for this reason, Sun Sheng would not have stayed in the previous training class for more than a month and learned nothing in the end. On the one hand, he felt that porters have been like this since ancient times and there was no need to learn any skills at all;
Part of the reason is that he doesn't really believe in anyone teaching practical techniques.
Later, when he saw the crane, the container, and the forklift at the dock, he finally realized that he was wrong, very wrong.
Different from the last night school tutoring session, Sun Sheng began to pack up his textbooks after bowing very piously to send the teacher away. The money to buy the textbooks was lent to him by his childhood playmate, Director Liu, and he promised to
Returned.
I remember that he had helped the thinner Director Liu fight in the past, and the relationship between the two was really good, otherwise the other party would not have the courage to help him this time.
After sighing silently in his heart, Sun Sheng picked up his schoolbag, walked out of the warehouse that served as a temporary classroom, walked out of the wall, and walked onto the street.
At first, he was ashamed of the schoolbag he was carrying, because the children studying in the temporary school at that time were also carrying similar schoolbags. Those were all half-year-old children, and Sun Sheng was carrying the same schoolbag.
The schoolbag feels very embarrassing.
Now he is relieved, because studying is not a shameful thing. If he does not study, his family of four will most likely starve to death in the prosperous Qingluan Port in the future.
This place is indeed prosperous. At least Sun Sheng has never seen such a busy Qingluan Port. He has never seen so many large docks, towering cranes, or endless warehouses.
I have never seen such countless goods.
Once, he felt that the Tang Empire seemed to have transported all its belongings to Shu. But later, after seeing so many goods every day, he realized that there were more goods in the world than he had imagined.
Much more.
Walking on the bustling streets, you can no longer see the scary bomb craters, collapsed barricades, overturned cannons, or piled up corpses at intersections.
The collapsed houses have been cleared, and all the buildings have been repaired, and many have even been painted. Some of the newly built buildings have neon lights flashing on them, which are lit day and night without knowing how tired they are. The extravagance makes people's mouth sore.
.
Where did the people of Tang Dynasty get so much electricity? Did they build so many power plants outside the city just to make these light bulbs turn on and off repeatedly?
Sun Sheng's home does not have electricity yet, but his friend Director Liu told him that the new mayor of Qingluan City promised that all Qingluan citizens would have access to lighting within a year, and they would use new fluorescent lamps!
No one believed what he said, but Sun Sheng believed it, because Director Liu believed it... But when he saw those flashing neon lights, Sun Sheng still felt it was a waste. He felt sorry for the wasted electricity... He couldn't afford it yet
Where's the electricity!
Without this opportunity to learn, he would not even be able to afford a full meal. In the future, Qingluan Port seems to not need so many dock porters. Forklifts and cranes can solve most of the work, and the rest
There are countless people competing for jobs. If you can't grab a job, you have to leave the dock.
Business was booming in the flower shop under the neon lights. There were many officers or businessmen from the Tang Dynasty choosing bouquets to decorate their rooms or give them to the girls they liked.
These soldiers or officers are very respectable and popular with Shu girls. They are more willing to communicate with these generous "Tang people", which can help them integrate into the life of the Tang Empire more quickly.
Sun Sheng curled his lips disdainfully. He is also from Tang Dynasty, and his whole family is...
