Tom picked up the big cup, raised his head, and drank the beer in big gulps, almost finishing it in one gulp.
¡°Cool~¡±
The whole person couldn't help shouting out happily, and then said to Old John: "Have another drink~"
"Okay~"
Old John was smiling all over his face.
The business of the pub is getting better and better, and more and more people are coming to Hong Kong.
Not only people from Hong Kong are slowly gathering here to make a living, but people from other places around are also trying their best to sneak into Hong Kong.
Because there are more opportunities here and there are more opportunities to make money. As long as you can find a job, you can easily earn two taels of silver a month.
The silver coins of the Ming Dynasty are quite valuable. One tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins. With a few copper coins, you can buy a pound of good flour here and make a lot of good bread at home.
¡°Two taels of silver a month is enough for a family to have enough food and clothing. Compared to people in the surrounding area, this is simply unimaginable.
Secondly, it is not only easy to make money here in Hong Kong, but the prices are also very cheap, and you can buy everything. Life here in Hong Kong is relatively easy and simple, so that people from the surrounding islands of England, Ireland and the French across the strait They all smuggled themselves to Hong Kong.
"Tom~"
"I have a relative who came to Hong Kong. I wonder if you can help me find something to do?"
Old John whispered to Tom.
"I really can't help with this. You know everything here in Hong Kong. People in Ming Dynasty only recruit people with ID cards. Those who come here smuggled in don't even have ID cards. It's really difficult to find something to do."
When Tom heard this, he shook his head helplessly.
"I know, Tom, don't you work here at the dock? As long as you have the strength, you can see if you can help me and put my relative in there."
"It's been half a month since he came here, but he still hasn't found a job and has been hiding. If he doesn't work for a long time and is caught again, he may be demoted to a slave."
Old John nodded and said worriedly.
The people of the Ming Dynasty are very strict in their management in this area. In Hong Kong, the people with the highest status are undoubtedly the people of the Ming Dynasty, followed by the original local aborigines in Hong Kong.
According to the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty, the local indigenous people were originally issued Ming Dynasty identity cards, which clearly stated everything about them.
In addition to the Ming Dynasty and the local aborigines, there were a large number of slaves. The slave trade in Europe was very popular. Because of its special status, Hong Kong soon became the most important slave trading market in Western Europe.
Slaves from all over the world gathered here, and most of them were bought by the Ming people. The Ming people basically owned a large number of fields and manors, and needed a large number of slaves to cultivate them.
The same is true here in Hong Kong. The fleets and officers of the fleet that went to Europe basically received a large amount of land rewards here in Hong Kong. Many people also chose to settle here, so they bought a large number of slaves.
Slaves are not considered citizens in the Ming Dynasty and do not have any protection. They are regarded as the private property of the slave owner and can be bought, sold and disposed of freely.
A large number of people are smuggled into Hong Kong, which has also brought many problems to Hong Kong. The Governor of Hong Kong has also formulated a strict system for this. Anyone who cannot show their identity card or has no one to testify will be regarded as a slave. .
Despite this, a large number of people still choose to sneak into Hong Kong.
Especially on the island of England, because Hong Kong is connected to the eastern counties, it is very convenient for smuggling, which has led to a large number of people smuggling to Hong Kong.
"Old John, it's not that I don't help you, but I really have no choice. My current English is not very good, otherwise I can be promoted to a small manager, and then maybe I can help you. "
"But I heard that Kaolin can help people make ID tags, but the quality of the ID tags they make is not good and they are easy to identify. I suggest you get one for your relatives first."
"Even if it is fake, it is sometimes useful. People in Ming Dynasty will not check the identity tag anytime and anywhere."
Tom thought for a while and said.
¡°With an identity card, you might be able to find a job. As long as you stay here for a long time, you will naturally be able to obtain real Hong Kong citizenship.¡±
¡°It¡¯s really a goodI never thought about having sex with such a blonde, but now, this is just the simplest benefit, only a few dozen copper coins, there are too many to choose from here in the old area.
The little sheep of England, the little fierce horses of Germany, the Gallic chickens of France, the female knights of the Iberian Peninsula, the shy little curly hair on the island of Ireland
¡°It¡¯s better to be a Ming Dynasty person, great Ming Dynasty Son, I will always be your loyal subject!¡±
After Tom was happy, he couldn't help shouting in his heart, it doesn't matter what country it is, whether it is loyal to the King of England or the Emperor of Heaven.
Whoever makes your life easier is the one you will loyal to.
As for the King of England, I heard that he is busy training the army recently. It seems that he wants to take back the Hampshire County that was ceded to Spain. However, the Spanish are also quite difficult to mess with now. They have strong soldiers and horses and stationed a large number of troops in Hampshire County. , and even formed an alliance with the Holy Roman Empire.
It is not easy to take back Hampshire. As for Hong Kong, the King of England, who was probably beaten, would not dare to have such an idea. There is a powerful Ming fleet and Ming army stationed here, which is enough to easily The mercenaries of the King of England were torn to pieces. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
