The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 338 News on "Qingshi Daily"

[Qingshi Ling] In the huge city group with dozens of cities in the territory, the workers are still working hard like busy ants. The vision of heaven and earth that appeared a few months ago does not seem to affect their lives. .

There was thunder in the sky, and it was raining on the ground. No matter what, life would go on. After the workers discovered that the vision of heaven and earth did not affect their lives, they quickly put this matter behind them and had time to worry about it. , why not go to work overtime to catch more work, and earn more bonuses, and strive to pay a down payment this year and buy a house of my own.

If there is still a surplus, maybe you can buy a Tiangong brand steam locomotive or simply buy a horse to travel. The [Xiao Piao] BMW of the Mohe Li nationality may not be able to afford it, but you can buy a [Agricultural City] domesticated horse Ordinary pack horses are fine.

With a car or a horse, it is more convenient to go to work. You don’t have to go to the tram that is crowded with people like canned human flesh during the rush hour. If you own your own private car, you can save a lot of travel time and get more sleep in the morning.

The whistle of "Woo! Woo!" sounded, and a green-painted wooden shell tram sounded "Dang! Dang!" The sound of entering the station drove into the station, and the workers who stood on the platform and read newspapers hurriedly turned away. Hold the newspapers and periodicals under your armpit, and line up to get on the train in an orderly manner. The carriage with a standard capacity of 120 passengers is often overloaded to 200 passengers. If the number exceeds the limit, you have to wait for the next trip.

The workers who didn't grab the seats could only squeeze and hold on to the railing above their heads, while those who grabbed the seats opened the newspapers they hadn't finished reading, and comfortably flipped through the big and small news, making the restless Few people looked sideways at him enviously.

Now in [Qingshi Ling], a copy of "Qingshi Daily", which costs five cents, is definitely a status symbol in your hand.
Although His Excellency Tiangong and the lord have started to popularize education and eradicate illiteracy since the first half of the year, [Qingshi Ling] has a large population after all, and [Qingshi City] alone has a huge population of more than 3000 million. If you want to completely Universal education will take some time to implement.

Considering that not everyone's talent is suitable for learning, factors such as memory ability and comprehension ability limit the progress of universal education, so some graduates from "Children's Learning", and even those who graduated from "Less Learning" and "Beginner Learning" People, they have become "cultural people" in the eyes of the majority of workers.

As for the vast majority of workers who could not even write their own names, to be precise, they did not even have their own names, and for those "cultural people" who could read [Qingshi Ling]'s official book "Qingshi Daily", they are all Very respectful.

So, when the tram started and the ride stabilized, the passengers yelled at a man with a newspaper under his arm and a "Study Less" badge pinned to his chest: "Student less! What's the matter today?" News, read it to everyone!?"

This tram starts at [Ceramics Fifth Factory Employee Community Station] and ends at [Ceramics Factory Park Station]. Most of the passengers are employees of the Ceramics Factory, and some of them even know each other. Will waste time by standing.

It takes a full hour and a half by car, and if you are idle, you are still idle. It is better to invite intellectuals to read a few paragraphs of news to pass the time.

The passenger called "Shaosheng" was a little proud, and without shirking, he took out the "Qingshi Daily" from under his arm and shook it, while a worker passenger next to him also stood up quickly with great eyesight. Get up, give up the seat to this "young student", and ask him to sit down so that he can read the newspaper conveniently.

Shaosheng, who had just bought a newspaper before getting in the car, flipped through it briefly, and selected some news that he personally felt was very important, using what he learned in school and was vigorously promoting "Popular Common Language", also known as "Common Language" for short. "Mandarin", the official language of [Qingshi Ling], began to recite seriously.

The accent of this young student is slightly Bai accent, and the mandarin can't be said to be correct, but it can be regarded as articulate. It is said that the people in the carriage are from the Shang, Craftsman, and Li ethnic groups, especially those from all over the world, with the most accent. The motley crew of workers and other workers could hear clearly.

This is the benefit of the popularization of Mandarin. If people from different places, different nationalities, and different language families can communicate with each other, the best way is not to let them learn a few more "foreign languages", but simply let them learn the same language. languages.

"...the fourth price adjustment will be carried out. In this adjustment, the exchange rate between [Qingshi Ling] Gongrenminbi and Dahuang General Daikin will be adjusted to 1:1."

"...The worker's identity ring will open the personal credit card function, and the salary will be directly transferred to the worker's personal ring credit card account in the future."

"...issue the third set of RMB, the face value of the third set of RMB is 1 cent, 5 cents, 1 jiao, 5 jiao, 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan, of which The cent value currency is steel coins, the corner value currency is copper coins, the currency below [-] yuan is silver coins, and the currency above [-] yuan is gold coins.

"... Various living subsidies will be canceled, but at the same time, the wages of workers will be greatly increased. The minimum basic salary will be adjusted from 1 yuan to 4 yuan. Hardware and three insurances will be opened, and personal income tax will be levied. It's 12 yuan."

"...The factories and mines of "Tiangong Group" will implement the policy of workers' certificates for employment starting from January [-] next year. "Technical Grade Certificate", "Worker and Civilian Identity Certificate" and other certificates can be employed, and those whose ratings do not meet the standards will be transferred from their original positions and made other arrangements."

"...The above policies will be implemented from September [-]st this year to January [-]st next year!"

Shaosheng read the important news on the front page of "Qingshi Daily" carefully, and he was able to read a few unfamiliar words. After all, the current "Qingshi Daily" is marked with "bilingual" such as pinyin and simplified characters.

Before he could turn around, the passengers who had been holding their breaths complained one after another when he stopped to take a breath: "Are you going to adjust the price again? This year it has been raised three times, right? If this continues, it won't even pay for food. Can't afford it?"

"You have a conscience when you speak, okay? Why don't you say that your salary has quadrupled?"

"It's just that the basic salary has increased by four times. Those [artisan]-level workers are lucky this time. Didn't you say that [artisans] like us are also long?"

"It will go up if it wants to go up, it must be in proportion!"

"That's so easy. I heard that this time, the basic salary will be unified regardless of the craftsman's position. If a craftsman wants to get a raise, he must pass the "Vocational Technical Grade Certificate"!"

"That's also very reasonable. Basic salary, compensation for heavy jobs, carpenter's level bonus, working years bonus... plus performance bonus, piecework bonus, all these miscellaneous things are calculated, and it must be much more than what I get now!"

"That's right, Tiangong is here to encourage everyone to work hard! Only those lazy people who want to be lazy and play tricks will think this kind of policy is bad, right?"

Amidst the laughter of the passengers, the person who first complained about the rising prices didn't dare to say a word, but a middle-aged worker said worriedly: "The policy set by Tiangong is very good, it is the 'job with a certificate' The policy is a headache! I estimate that this month's vocational technical grade rating, I can be admitted to the craftsman job of [Big Craftsman], but the "Certificate of Putonghua Level 50" and "Certificate of Primary School Graduation" are too difficult to pass. This second-level mandarin, I will definitely not be able to pass the fourth level by next year! I have gone to the "Children's Learning" course three times, and I can only get more than [-] points in the test each time, and the pass is not enough. What should I do? What should I do next year? If I fail the exam, how shameful would it be for me to do the job of a [artisan apprentice] alone?"

A younger passenger next to him comforted him with a sympathetic face, "Isn't it still a few months? If you go to school twice more, you should probably pass by by listening carefully. The course of "Children's Learning" is not difficult, is it? I reckon I’ll be able to graduate if I go there again, and I’ll try to get admitted to Less Learning before next year, and I heard that there will be two grades of salary floating!”

"It's not as easy as you said. As far as my memory is concerned, I have learned it before, but I forgot it as soon as I left the school. It's better to be a young man! There is a craftsman in our workshop. I think he has a good memory. I heard that it has only been a few months and he has already passed the intermediate level of "Beginner". "

The passengers sighed enviously and enviously. Seeing that the passengers were chatting happily, the young man stopped reading the newspaper. He closed the newspaper and said with a smile: "I guess "Children's Learning" is just a preliminary study. Graduates of "Less Learning" are estimated to be barely employed, and I heard that "Beginner" level education will be popularized in the future, and those who do not have a "Beginner" graduation certificate may find it difficult to get a job!"

It’s okay if he doesn’t say anything, but when he said that the passengers were even more worried, the young man comforted him: “Everyone, don’t worry, Tiangong is urging us to make progress. Let alone work in the future, you don’t even know how to operate the equipment when you enter the workshop, how can you do it if you don’t learn?”

The middle-aged passenger murmured: "That's what I said, but the change is too fast. When I first entered the workshop last year, there were more than 800 people in the workshop. Now there are only more than 60 people left in one workshop." , We don’t need old craftsmen to do the work anymore, as soon as those wheels and frames turn, they’ll go ‘click! click!’ and it’s all done. From now on, I’m afraid we won’t even need people, how good this is!”

The passengers talked a lot, most of them were admiring the development speed of [Qingshi Ling], but at the same time worried that they could not keep up with the changes.

After all, the young man has more knowledge. After a few words of consolation, he smiled and comforted him: "There is also a good thing. It seems that the [Autumn Harvest Festival] is coming again. The "Qingshi Daily" said that this year's [Autumn Harvest Festival] will Hold a large-scale blind date event! If you are lucky, you may be able to meet a woman, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a 'marriage certificate', and you can take a mother-in-law and aunt home to live..."

Before he could finish his sentence, all the passengers in the carriage erupted, especially those workers who were not young, and asked in surprise: "Shaosheng, is this true? We Limin... Uh, we Can these workers also have a wife? One for each person? Or one for each unit? Is it allocated once a year, or..."

Those young students who were bombarded by the problems of the workers were in a cold sweat. After they finally calmed down, they wiped their foreheads and said, "We [Qingshi collars] are not like the former Lilan, who live like animals for a year. I gave you a breeding once, and the newspaper said that in the future we [Qingshiling] will practice 'monogamy', you can't marry randomly, and it's not like you just get married with a mother-in-law, you have to be liked by other women. , said what it was called 'marriage freedom', and also said to encourage childbearing, the next child will be rewarded with a 'birth bonus', and if there are more children, I heard that there will be a 'childcare fund'!"

"One person, one mother-in-law? Is there such a good thing? I thought it would be good if a unit can share a few. We will give you a bonus if you give birth to a baby? If we have a few more mothers-in-law, we will have a baby at home every day. , what kind of work do you still have?"

"You are so beautiful! Don't you know that we [Qingshi collar] have more males and fewer females? When the newspaper reported the census a few days ago, the ratio of males to females was almost 4:1, that is, there is only one male in four." Damn, you don't have to say if you can get your turn, how many more do you want to match?"

"And this thing? How good is that!? Why don't women pick our men?"

"Necessary, now our [Qingshi collar] women also have their own salaries, and they earn no less than men. They are so good at living on their own, why should they work so hard to give you cubs? Do I have to live with you and serve you? When the time comes, I will definitely pick those who earn more, why won’t I pick someone who earns less than myself?”

"It's so troublesome? Then I am a craftsman, isn't it good enough for my mother-in-law? If there are few women, one woman can match four men? Why is it so troublesome..."

"Eh? How is the profit of your fifth ceramic factory this month? Can you earn enough money to pay your mother-in-law? I heard that you will not be allowed to live in the unit dormitory if you accept your mother-in-law at that time. Those who have a single household will have a wedding room." , or other women will definitely not be able to follow you!"

"Huh? You still have to have your own house?"

"Nonsense! The woman has followed you and lives in your ten-person dormitory. When you do business at night, do you still ask the other nine to sleep? Or you plan to donate your mother-in-law. Ten people in your dormitory share Have you passed?"

"Beautiful idea! The mother-in-law and aunt I brought back, I will sleep alone, and let those guys find it by themselves... But this wedding house can't afford it. If there is no house, why don't you give it to your mother-in-law? Then who can afford it? It really can't." Ask the brothers in the dormitory to join in, at most let them sleep with my mother-in-law and aunt."

"Just dream! One woman is dealing with ten men in your dormitory. I reckon that your mother-in-law and aunt are not willing if you want to? Don't you be exhausted? Besides, why do other women have to work so hard? Find someone to buy A man who owns a house is fine? Besides, a fool like you who doesn’t know how to love your mother-in-law will not be able to keep her if she gets her. I heard that if the woman is unwilling, she can apply to the Civil Affairs Bureau for something.” Divorce'! I won't be with you!"

The young student laughed and said: "The house is easy to talk about. The combined salary of the couple is quite a lot. When the time comes, apply for a housing loan. You can live in it first. The house payment will be deducted from the salary later. It is really not good. I heard that We [Qingshiling] are also planning to build a batch of "low-rent housing". Married workers can apply for one in the name of "husband and wife". powerful!"

"Can you still rent a wedding room? The relationship is good, but renting a house is not as cost-effective as buying a house?"

The news caused the passengers to laugh and laugh with excitement and worry, chatting and chatting, and somehow the topic turned to the important matter of [Qingshi Collar].

"By the way, what's the situation on the border recently? Didn't they fight fiercely at the beginning of the year? Why hasn't there been any movement recently?"

"What do you mean there is no movement, that is, let us [Qingshi collar] be more stable, the outside has been smashed, and King Taryangli was maimed by our "Trapping the Air Force", and he dared not provoke us again. It's been a stable time for half a year. I heard that because of this incident, King Taryangli completely hated us [Qingshi collar], clamoring for revenge! I think there is still a big battle to be fought!"

A thin worker hummed and said, "Just hit them! We Tiangong can beat them once, and if we come again, maybe even King Taryangli will be arrested and sent to the mine! I'm also a reserve soldier, so I'm really hit!" Go to the front too!"

"Just brag, with "Trapping the Air Force", it's your turn to go to the battlefield with small arms and legs? But Tartar King is not so easy to deal with. The last time the three major Li tribes attacked us [Qingshi collar], why not Were they in danger of being captured by them? If King Taryangli comes here in full force, I wonder if Tiangong can stand up to it?"

The thin-looking worker suddenly exploded, and shouted: "If I can't stand it, I have to. What's wrong with my small arms and legs? I also have [the power of four tantalums] anyway. The king of Taryangli is really here, and I am I am willing to serve as an auxiliary soldier on the battlefield, to carry luggage and deliver food and grass to the soldiers. It is not easy to have a place like [Qingshi Ling] where I can live like a person and live a good life. I don’t want to go back to that cattle pen again Go to Lilan, even if you die, you will die in [Qingshi collar]!"

His words caused all the passengers in the car to be silent for a while, and then they all burst into high-pitched emotions: "Yes! You must die in [Qingshi collar], as long as there is a worker alive, those barbarians will never even think about stepping into our [Qingshi collar] collar]!"

Someone worried: "I heard that there are many war pigs, war horses, and witches around King Taryangli. Have we fought?"

The little worker roared angrily: "If you can't beat him, you still have to beat him! Kick him with a broken arm, and bite him with his teeth if his leg is broken! Even if he dies, I will bite him off!"
