In Xishan, the same scene was being played out in auditoriums one after another. Each and every worker in Xishan received their wages exactly.
Here in Xishan, a penny is a lot, and every penny is a penny. Everyone who received their wages was smiling and happy in their hearts. They couldn't help but sigh again, Mr. Liu in Xishan is kind.
In this era, by working hard for others, you can not only eat three meals a day, but also get paid. The more you work, the more you earn. There are also night classes in the evening to teach everyone how to read and write, and gain fame and fortune.
Right and wrong, broaden your horizons.
It is absolutely impossible to find such a shop with a lantern. Many people keep chanting Liu Jin's name in their hearts, especially those refugees from all over the world.
Originally, as a refugee, the most likely possibility was to freeze to death or starve to death in the cold wind. With luck, I could barely find something to do in the city and make ends meet to survive the winter.
But if you want to eat three meals a day, work and get paid, it is definitely a dream, let alone someone to teach you reading, writing, and arithmetic.
"Monkey, you don't have to go to work in the afternoon and tomorrow. Do you want to go shopping in the capital and bring something back?"
Tian Erniu touched the money bag in his arms. It was so heavy that his belly seemed to be bulging. The feeling of having money was different. It was solid. When he walked, his waist was straight and straight.
"Okay, okay. I've never been to the capital before, and I don't know how prosperous it is."
When Zhao Houhou heard this, he immediately became excited.
They used to be refugees, and the guards in the capital wouldn't let them in at all. They could only imagine the prosperity of the capital under its tall walls.
"Dahu, Silly Bear, are you going?"
Tian Erniu looked at Dahu and Silly Bear beside him and asked.
"Go~ Of course I want to go. It's hard to come here once. How can I not go there?"
Dahu was also very excited.
"Go, go. I heard that the steamed buns in Beijing are very delicious. I'm going to buy some and take them back to give my family a taste."
Silly Bear also nodded very seriously. He has the most money and is now rich.
"Let's go, let's go together~"
As soon as Tian Erniu heard this, he quickly took the lead and walked towards the capital. As he walked, he said: "It's really comfortable not to have to work. I heard that there will be a big show to watch tomorrow. After watching the big show tomorrow, we will go there early the day after tomorrow."
Let’s go back to Tianjin together.”
"What does this singing opera look like? Have any of you seen it?"
"No, I just heard about it. Anyway, it must be very good-looking."
"Do you think everyone in the capital is extremely rich?"
"Isn't that right? Not only are we rich, but we also have many high-ranking officials. It is said that a brick can knock out several third-grade officials. After entering the capital, we must be careful not to offend those who cannot be offended.
People, otherwise I don’t know how they died.”
"I've never been to the capital, and I don't know how much more prosperous it is than our county."
Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou, Dahu, and Silly Xiong walked together, talking and laughing towards the capital. Like the four of them, the other Xishan workers were also in groups, and
People from the same village, hometown, and group walked towards the capital together.
Everyone has been yearning for the prosperity of the capital for a long time. Now that there is money in the bag and time, it is natural to go to the capital to take a stroll and take a look.
Xishan is not far from the capital, only about 20 miles away, and it doesn’t take too long to walk. What’s more, the four of them were in a very good mood at this time. They were chatting. In the blink of an eye, the tall city walls of the capital were already in sight.
middle.
The road leading to the capital in the west of the capital is now very busy, because there are coal mines in the west of the capital, and many coal workshops are basically in Xishan.
Xishan Coal Mining, Zhangshi Coal Mining, Zhoushi Coal Mining, Sangong Coal Mining, Sihai Coal Mining, etc. are all located in the west of the capital. These coal miners transport millions of briquettes and tens of thousands of briquettes to the capital every day.
Even if there is no road for a honeycomb briquette stove, it must be made into a broad thoroughfare.
At this time, Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou and others were chatting while walking, and at the same time looking at other people on the road from time to time.
"Brother, won't your Xishan Coal Industry go to work today?"
Someone who was driving a horse-drawn carriage to transport briquettes asked curiously when he saw the Xishan Coal Industry workers marching toward the capital.
"What kind of job are you doing? It's the New Year's holiday. We are going to the capital to buy some things and go home to celebrate the New Year."
"Does Zhang's Coal Industry have annual leave? Have you received your wages?"
The workers of Xishan Coal Industry naturally said with a little pride. These days, they have more or less learned about the situation of other coal industry workshops.
Whether it's meals, accommodation, or the wages you can get every day, etc., they are far from comparable to those here in Xishan. What's more, there are night classes here in Xishan, which are not available in other coal workshops.
Therefore, when workers from Xishan Coal Industry go out and meet other coal industry workers, they vaguely feel that they are superior to them, and it can be clearly felt in their words.
"Hey, what is annual leave? We have never heard of it."
"As for the wages, they are there, but they don't add up to much. It seems that your Xishan side has paid wages today. How much has been paid? Let me tell my brothers. I am also planning to come to Xishan next year."
"Are you still recruiting people in Xishan? Do you know anyone who is in charge? Can you help introduce me?"
When people in the other coal industry workshops heard this, they all couldn't help sighing. They were so infuriating.
Xishan Coal Mining not only has high wages, good food, and good accommodation, but also earns a lot of money. The wages are far from what other coal workshops can compare with. Many people regret not joining Xishan Coal Mining.
"My salary is not much, less than 1,000 yuan."
When talking about wages, all the workers in Xishan smiled and replied while touching their money bags.
"Hey, darling~ How much is it? I work hard every day at Zhang's Coal Industry, and I estimate that the total is less than 100 yuan. I will definitely come to Xishan Coal Industry next year."
"I'm in Zhou's Coal Industry, which is relatively better, but it's just over 100 Wen."
"I, from Sangong Coal Industry, only have more than 100 Wen. I don't know when the money will be distributed, and I don't know for sure. Maybe I won't have the money in the end."
"Yes, it's hard to say. I used to work with landlords and I often didn't get paid."
On the road leading to the capital, people in the coal industry workshops were communicating with each other. Everyone was envious and jealous of the treatment here in Xishan, and they were all thinking about leaving their current employers and going to Xishan Coal Industry next year.
