Chapter 298 Developing Liaodong
The latest issue of "Daqin Daily" once again caused a sensation among the common people.
The common people scrambled to circulate the news above, and discussions arose.
"After the great development of the south of the Yangtze River, my Great Qin is now going to implement the great development of Liaodong?"
"The place in Liaodong is good, but it's too cold. Don't even think about going out in winter. Frostbite on hands and feet is mild. It is said that ears and noses are frozen off."
"Isn't it? I heard that if you go out there to relieve your hand, you have to hit it with a stick!"
"What you are talking about is the past, what age is it now, your news is already out of date."
"It snowed heavily last year, and Liaodong was severely affected. Because of the timely relief, there were no major casualties!"
"This year, the imperial court even re-planned Liaodong and its surrounding areas, and began to use that new material called cement to build houses!"
"This kind of house, coupled with the fire pit, is incredibly warm."
"Even if you go out, there are woolen sweaters and cotton clothes that have just been promoted. The cold is no longer terrible."
"As long as you apply to move to Liaodong now, the imperial court will give you a housing subsidy, allowing you to live in a warm new house in the city before it really snows!"
"The newspaper also said that the imperial court will build many new water conservancy workshops in Liaodong, specializing in the production of these cotton sweaters, and will provide hundreds of thousands of workers. Even women can get a good income by knitting sweaters! "
"And government schools and medical centers will also keep up, no worse than those from other places!"
The people discussed happily one by one, with surprise on their faces.
Just a few years ago, everyone was still worrying about how to feed their stomachs and survive the heavy corvee.
Unexpectedly, in the past few years, they have caught up with unprecedented good times.
Not only can you eat easily, but as long as you have the strength to endure hardships, you can get good income whether you go to coal, iron ore and other workshops, or the construction projects of the court, such as building roads and opening bridges.
If you are willing to use your mind to learn to read and learn a few crafts, your salary can be multiplied several times.
Originally, there were basically nothing on the tables of many people in Daqin except a bowl of rice porridge that was extremely rare and a plate of wild vegetables.
But now they can not only eat enough, but occasionally improve their food and eat some meat.
During the holidays, they can even know seafood that they didn't dare to expect before.
Those with more labor force and higher income at home are no longer satisfied with enough food and clothing, and are starting to consider demolishing their old house and building a bigger and more beautiful one.
Those who have a higher vision even simply add up and plan to go to the county town to buy a new-style house, and enjoy better education and medical resources as a city dweller.
My generation has suffered enough, and now that I finally have the opportunity, I naturally want to let the children suffer less in the future.
Today's people in Daqin have already realized the importance of reading and literacy.
If you learn well, you can participate in the recruitment examinations of various departments of the imperial court. Once you succeed, you will really start to eat the emperor's food and become an official family that everyone envies.
Those who are not suitable to be an official can also study science and engineering, the way of equipment, etc.
As long as you achieve something small, you will be scrambled by major workshops after graduation, and those with high incomes are simply enviable.
If one can truly achieve achievements in the artisan's way, one can also enter the Daqin Research Institute of Engineering, and enjoy official treatment as well.
No matter how bad it is, as long as you can graduate, you can go to a workshop to be a craftsman, which is much better than farming.
Even small coolie workers earn more basic literacy wages, faster ability improvement, and higher income.
Moreover, in the medical clinics in the city, the level of doctors is also better, and it is more convenient to see a doctor.
Education and medical care have gradually entered the scope of consideration for the people of Daqin.
It's just that if you really want to move your family into the city, the cost is quite high.
Even if many people can barely make it out, they will feel reluctant to give up.
However, the generous conditions given by the great development of Liaodong now have moved the hearts of many people.
When they moved to Liaodong, the imperial court not only provided housing subsidies, but also gave priority to providing job opportunities. Women can also make money by knitting sweaters.
This can not only save a lot of money, but even increase a lot of income.
Coupled with the fact that medical education can be guaranteed, the common people began to calculate one after another.
Even in the Jiangnan area, many people were moved.
After all, although the overall economy of Jiangnan is not bad, the prospects are excellent.
However, due to the large number of people and conservative ideas, many people still missed the opportunity.
Typical, such as Yuxi Village in Shuyang Yanji.
This is one of the most conservative areas in the entire south of the Yangtze River. Many of the people in the village are refugees who fled when Qin conquered Chu, so they have innate resistance to Great Qin.
When the court wanted to arrest the remnants of the Xiang family, people in Shuyang were in panic for a long time, because many of them were indeed related to the descendants of the old Chu.
However, with the development of Jiangnan, many people in Shuyang have gradually changed their minds.
After all, the benefits given by the Daqin court are real, and it is much better than that of Chu State in the past.
For most people, nothing is more important than feeding and clothing a family.
Therefore, people in Shuyang gradually joined the court's projects and brought back generous wages.
The number of students in the schools in the county town gradually increased.
Only Yuxi Village has always maintained its own style.
People in the village would rather build their own private schools and hire teachers than send their children to free government schools.
The imperial court bulletin boards and mediators, who are very popular in every township and kiosk, also received a cold reception in Yuxi Village.
Of course, not everyone has always adhered to the concept of corruption.
For some young people, their ideas have gradually changed.
Among them is a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth in the largest house in Yuxi Village.
"I don't know how my eldest brother is doing in Xianyang City, whether he has successfully enlisted in the army, and if the people above know that he has an intersection with the Xiang family, I don't know if it will be difficult for him."
"There is also the Xiang clan, they are not very good people, and they used to oppress the village."
"Since Sishui County lost the Xiang family, life has become much better!"
"Nowadays, even the remote Liaodong has begun to develop greatly, but Yuxi is still a stagnant water!"
"It doesn't matter, if you stay here again, this girl will go crazy sooner or later."
While tearing the petals in her hand, the girl murmured angrily.
At this moment, the girl suddenly saw a familiar figure from the window, and her eyebrows frowned even tighter.
"This guy, isn't he here to propose marriage again? I'm so annoying!"
"How could this girl fall in love with this kind of person!"
"No, I can't stay in this place anymore!"
"Why don't you just go to Xianyang City to find your brother, maybe you can see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Thinking of this, an intoxicating smile appeared on the girl's face.
