The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 578 The advent of Ming civilization

"Oh oh oh."

No chiming bells were purchased at the mine.

It was not yet dawn.

The big rooster flew to a high place in high spirits, called out the sun, and told people that they should get up and work.

Mining area.

The workers in each shed were wearing tattered clothes.

Not brushing your teeth or washing your face.

Went to the cafeteria first.

The food provided in the canteen today is rice and pickles.

Have a meal in the morning.

Have a meal at noon.

Have a thin meal at night.

After eating, the stewards and foremen in the original mining area urged their men to go to the mines.

The former workers have left.

They left behind a lot of daily necessities, which became popular goods for the new arrivals. But when the daily necessities were used up, non-Ming workers would not be able to care about their dignity.

After having enough to eat, they were reluctant to spend their eighty cents monthly salary, so they saved it, hoping to bring their families to Ming Dynasty or marry a wife.

The women of Ming Dynasty dare not think about it.

But Ming Dynasty also had many maids.

Not every maid is beautiful, and there are also many maids who are despised and only used for work.

or.

What if I could marry a Ming Dynasty woman?

Dreaming sweetly.

Under the dim kerosene lamps in the mines, many of the new miners did not even wear clothes. Many places were pitch dark, requiring people to rely on touch to work and be careful about guessing feces and urine.

The departure of old miners and the arrival of new miners have made the environment in the mines increasingly harsh.

In the past, the miners of the Ming Dynasty would also have three emergencies in the mines.

Ke reached a tacit understanding and used an area as a latrine, where everyone went to defecate. Now the miners are too lazy to run around, and there is no tacit understanding, and defecating anywhere has become the norm.

The stewards and foremen had a huge headache.

Sitting in the dark corridor, the miners leaned on their pickaxes to knock off pieces of coal and put them into baskets. Then they left with the baskets filled with coal on their backs, bending over, and asked the foreman to change a brand.

Every sign is money.

If you fail to complete your daily tasks, not only will you not be paid, but you will also get no dinner.

Only those who complete the task will be paid wages. The wages are calculated strictly. The average miner can only earn [-] cents per month. I heard that the miners in the past can earn [-] yuan and [-] cents per month.

Foremen said the previous workers were more efficient.

They don't know what the truth is.

Anyway, they have food to eat, money to take, a place to sleep, and a stable life, so they have no other ideas.

"Dangdangdang."

The mining bells were rung.

At the end of the day's work, people left the mining area and went to the kitchen to have a meal of porridge.

There is a steam engine in the mining area, so there is a lot of hot water.

In the bathhouses built before, new hot water was prepared every day, and workers would soak in the pool for a while.

There is one pool for washing, one for washing, and one for bathing to relieve the body's fatigue after a hard day's work. It was the favorite place for miners in the past.

If you have a pursuit in life, you will have the motivation to pay attention to it.

Although former miners also lived in dormitories at the mine, there were also residential areas nearby. Some miners brought their families here, while others went home to see their wives and children every ten days during the holidays.

Not to mention that miners used to have short working hours, a lunch break at noon, and good living conditions.

But today's miners are all single, and it's already midnight when they get off work, so they don't pay attention to that.

Some people don't even bother to take a shower.

After eating, go to bed.

"I haven't been here for just a few months. How come your mining area has become so dirty?"

The mining area is full of gray and black.

It looked dirty to the naked eye, but it was a subconscious thought, and it was actually very clean. Now, the new officials who came to inspect the place could see the mess to the naked eye.

"Today's miners are cheap, but they are also really dirty. Asking them to take a bath seems to be killing them."

"Your working hours are too long, and there is not enough time for others to sleep. Who cares about other things? Sooner or later something will happen."

"Let's talk about it on the day of the accident."

The chief manager of the mine said nonchalantly.

D.

Everyone does it.

I don’t know since when, miners like to hang out in abandoned houses near mining areas, looking for something.

The houses were originally left by former miners.

Their families live here, full of life.

Most of the miners who are not from the Ming Dynasty are in good health after having a full stomach and can come to the Ming Dynasty. After a few months, they will be full of energy and have nowhere to vent. When they find a female product, it will become their most sought-after item. .

"That does not work."

"If something like this happens, don't speak out without blaming the public. It will be blamed by everyone."

The foremen reported these phenomena.

The mining area immediately reduced the food supply and lowered the food standards to prevent them from feeling full and full.

In the past, the miners' food standards were high, and although the food inertia has been reduced a lot, in the eyes of the new miners, it is still extremely good and the most beautiful food in their eyes.

"Pickles have begun to be restricted. Each person is only given a small half spoon, and rice is only given a spoon. They are no longer open to eating. If they want to eat more, they need to spend their own money to buy whatever they want."

"They are well fed and rich, who knows what they dare to do."

It was raised.

The Mining Association convened the leaders of various mining areas and issued new notices as well as some potential signs.

Naturally, the people in charge of the mining area would not object to such a good thing.

“In the past, we were afraid that we would treat workers badly, but now we are afraid that we will treat workers well.”

The coal boss smiled.

I just feel like things are changeable.

"This time and the other."

"It saves us money anyway, so why not do it."

Mining area.

During lunch.

Several women held umbrellas and took small steps. They had not been to the mining area for a long time. She came to meet her father.

Girl wearing academic uniform.

She invited her classmates to come to the mine and experience it.

The oil mountain is beautifully made, with pictures of mandarin ducks playing in the water painted on the surface. Several girls dressed as schoolgirls light up the gray-black mining area and become the brightest beauty.

The miners squatted on the ground to eat.

One by one was dumbfounded.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the few female students, as if they were the only ones in sight.

Feeling that they were about to be swallowed by their eyes, several female students were frightened.

"This is different from what you said."

"I feel so scared, let's go."

"I, I." The female student also has no idea. She hasn't been to the mining area for a long time. The mining area was not like this before. There were children playing everywhere, many women doing housework, or making pickles, sauces, meat, etc. in twos and threes. The men Make money by going to the mines.

It is the working world and harmonious family described in the book.

"I don't know, maybe I went to the wrong place."

The miners swallowed.

"And such a beautiful woman."

"This is a woman from the Ming Dynasty."

"A fairy-like person."

"If I can sleep once, it's worth dying." A miner looked fiercely.

The girl in the distance tugged at her classmate's dress.

She sensed danger.

"Let's turn back and walk slowly. Don't panic. Stay calm. The more you panic, the more likely it is that something will happen."

He said softly with a voice that was about to cry.

"Why are you here?"

Sudden.

There was a cry from behind, which almost frightened them.

"You kid, why don't you tell your family?"

"It's my dad."

The girl among them turned around happily, and it turned out to be her father.

Behind the chief steward were several foremen.

"Yao Mei, the mining area now is different from before. We can't come here again."

"Are these your classmates?"

"Come on, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare delicious food for you. When you're done eating, I'll take you home personally."

The big steward smiled kindly.

Families that can afford to send girls to modern schools generally have good economic conditions.

Many friends and many paths. Not only do I hope that my son can study well, but I also hope that my daughter will make more friends. Not only will it be of great help to her family, but also to her own future.

The girls were well-educated, and they were all polite and well-behaved. They had no faults in their manners. They were relieved in their hearts, and the fear just now disappeared.

When he saw the chief steward and the foremen, he immediately regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.

The mining area has changed.

A people-centered society has become a dangerous area.

One of the girls went home and wrote an article for her father to review.

Her father was none other than Liu Tong, a famous writer in Peiping.

"It's indeed dangerous."

"The same place, with different people, why does it change so much?"

"Is it because of people or the environment?"

With his daughter's consent, Liu Tong made minor changes to his daughter's article, and then wrote his own thoughts and reflections at the end.

Ming scholars like to reflect.

Why is it so developed now but not before?

Will there be the same qualitative changes in the future?

With reflection, there will be questions.

Reflection alone is not enough.

There must be something wrong with people who only reflect.

When reflecting, we must also figure out what the problem is and think about ways to make the country and its people prosperous and powerful. This is the correct process.

Just complain.

Even the people around you will be disgusted.

For example, in a company, if your colleagues keep telling you what is wrong with the company, over time, everyone will hate it. They are called negative energy. You should stay away from such people.

Liu Tong wrote at the end.

"Civilization comes from society, but civilization is not inevitable."

"For civilized areas, we should treat each other with courtesy, learn from each other, and absorb each other's advantages."

"In an uncivilized area, people should not be treated with courtesy."

"I call it a reciprocal relationship."

"The Ming Dynasty is a civilized country in the world, and it must learn the model of reciprocal relationships."

"There are many areas in the surrounding areas and even in Southeast Asia that are not considered civilized. They are not even countries. They should not be treated with high standards among countries. It is an unequal way. Ming Dynasty will suffer."

"The Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the world. Those areas that are not qualified to be called countries should be the territories of the Ming Dynasty."

Beijing.

"Each system has officially changed its name."

"They are Daming Industrial Bureau, Department Store, and Food Coupon Bank."

Newspapers such as social newspapers published the latest news.

Zhu Gaochi also saw Liu Tong's reflection article, criticizing the mistakes of the foreign policy in the early Ming Dynasty.

"Isn't this what the West does?"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing.

What is called the Western style is to set civilized standards based on my needs.

What suits my needs is civilization.

Anything that doesn’t meet my needs is uncivilized.

in short.

Focus on me.

When the West started the colonial era, they also defended the occupied areas. They said that these areas were not countries and belonged to terra nullius.

The locals who were slaughtered believed that the other party was uncivilized and not considered a normal person.

Eliminate the influence of words.

In fact, whoever has the bigger fist is justified.

If you can't fight, you are not civilized, you are not a country, you are just a backward tribe.

Can't beat it.

You are a backward country fighting against civilization.

After all, it is recognized as a country.

"Equal relationship."

Zhu Gaochi looked at Liu Tong's final comments in the newspaper and couldn't help but think.

Today is not what it used to be.

The Ming Dynasty was so powerful that it was not a good thing to be too civilized.

However.

The Ming Dynasty had to be civilized.

Because civilization does not exist if someone says it does not exist. Civilization is a reflection of the correct development of society. As long as the Ming Dynasty develops correctly, society will inevitably reflect civilization.

"Let Liu Tong explain his reciprocal relationship."

Zhu Gaochi ordered.

The Ming Dynasty's national power has developed to this day and requires a new kind of foreign relations.

It not only reflects civilization, but also prevents Ming Dynasty from suffering.
