- ¡°Dang~dang~¡±
With the bell ringing for the end of work at noon.
Chen Jin sat down on the ground all of a sudden and couldn't help breathing heavily.
"Uncle Chen~ hurry up and go eat. If you go late, the good food will be gone."
Next to him, Dong Xiaosan, who is also a porter, quickly reminded him.
Dong and Xiao are very young, only in their early twenties. They are strong and very enthusiastic. When they see Chen Jin struggling, they will come over to help.
"Yes~yes~"
When Chen Jin heard this, he quickly wanted to get up.
However, I didn¡¯t eat breakfast and had to do physical work all morning, and I couldn¡¯t get up all of a sudden.
Dong Xiaosan next to him immediately helped him up when he saw it, and the two of them started chatting while walking to the canteen.
"Thank you~"
"What are you thankful for? I'm young and strong, so I should help."
Dong Xiaosan touched his head and said with a smile.
"Of course thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to survive at noon."
"Uncle Chen, you are already over 40 years old, why are you still doing this? I think you should go home early."
"If you can read and write, it's easy to find any easy job. It's so easy to work as a bookkeeper or a steward or something like that."
"Nowadays, all the major business firms need people who can read and write. I haven't read and can't write. I have no choice but to do this."
"Alas, you don't understand. It was my own fault, so I have to bear all this."
Chen Jin sighed and said.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the canteen. The whole canteen was already crowded and there was a long queue.
"Uncle Chen, those are Koreans, and those are Japanese~"
"Also, those are the female slaves from the Western Regions bought by the owner of our factory. The owner said that as long as we work hard and perform hard, these female slaves will be rewarded to us when the time comes."
Dong Xiaosan¡¯s eyes kept looking around at the Japanese, Koreans and slaves.
This Rainbow Textile Factory is very large, employing many Ming people, Koreans, and Japanese people. At the same time, in order to save costs, it also bought many slaves from the Western Regions, Central Asia, and West Asia.
"Haha, then you have to behave well~"
Chen Jin looked at the people Dong Xiaosan was referring to.
Because Korea and Japan were vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, people from these two countries could freely come to the Ming Dynasty. There were a large number of Koreans and Japanese people in many factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area.
These Koreans and Japanese people are very hard-working and hard-working, and their remuneration and treatment are lower than those of the Ming Dynasty, usually in factories.
The salary of people in the Ming Dynasty is four taels of silver a month, and those who work quickly can even get five or six taels of silver a month, and these are the most common female workers. There are many female workers in textile factories.
If you do physical, tiring or dirty work, the salary will be higher.
The wages of Koreans and Japanese people who come to Daming are generally about one tael a month less than those of people in Ming Dynasty, but the wages are still very high, so a large number of Koreans and Japanese people are attracted to work in Daming.
¡°Compared to their respective countries, life is much easier here in Ming Dynasty.
Although it is also tiring, in the Ming Dynasty, at least you can have enough food, live warmly, and get free money regularly. Therefore, Koreans and Japanese are very common in factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area.
"Other than that, they are slaves.
According to the laws related to the Ming Dynasty, slaves were not allowed in the Ming Dynasty, but female slaves were no longer included in this category, because female slaves could be used as concubines or something like that to solve the problem of bachelors in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, these factory owners and workshop owners also take advantage of the loopholes and purchase a large number of female slaves to work in the factory. Because they are slaves and private property, they do not even need to pay wages. They only need to feed and clothe them and solve the problem of housing. That's it.
"Of course. There is a person in my village who was rewarded by his employer with a female slave from West Asia. Now he has children. Working for his employer is called hard work."
Dong Xiaosan nodded solemnly and said.
Soon it was their turn to cook.
Noodles, rice, steamed buns, corn, and sweet potatoes are all staple foods. You can eat them as you like, but you have to eat them all. Then there are vegetables, such as pickled sauerkraut, dried radish, Chinese cabbage, and the never-ending sea fish.
"Today my boss's old lady celebrated her 80th birthday."Three, how do you feel about your life now? "
"It's good. It's good to work here. You can eat well every meal, and there are vegetables and meat. The accommodation is good, and you don't have to worry about wind or rain."
"What's more important is that I can earn money. I have already planned it. After this year's work is completed and I get the money, I will go home and build a house, then marry a wife, and take a Korean or Japanese concubine. "
"Of course, it would be nice if my boss could reward me with a woman from the Western Region."
Dong Xiaoshan replied with a smile.
"Then do you feel that our working hours are too long now and we don't even have any rest days?"
Chen Jin nodded slightly, and for the first time he heard the thoughts of the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, making money, building a house, and marrying a wife.
¡°The working hours are quite long, but we also get a lot of money.¡±
"But it would be nice if I could have one or two days a month to rest and not have to go to work. I have been in the capital for almost a year, but I still haven't visited various places in the capital. I heard that there are many interesting places in the capital. , a zoo, a football stadium, etc.¡±
"I also want to visit Tianjin. I heard that there are many sea ships in Tianjin Port. I also want to go to sea and become a sailor in the future. That will make money and I can travel around the world."
Dong Xiaoshan thought for a while and said.
"Liu Jin is right~"
"I was really wrong, I made a huge mistake. I have always only known a little bit about the things in the book, but I don't really understand everything about my Ming Dynasty!"
After listening to Dong Xiaosan¡¯s words, Chen Jin fell into deep thinking. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
