Old Stewart is a villager in the village of Pothos on the outskirts of Bein, and his family has worked diligently on the land for generations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Old Stuart's skills are good, so he can barely support his family, and sometimes he will help the villagers, although life is tight, it is okay.

Later, after His Majesty Tang En took office, several tax cuts, especially the policy of reducing agricultural taxes, greatly increased the income of the peasants, and finally gave them hope for life.

Many people have become richer, and the villagers are simply grateful to His Majesty Donn, but the old Stewart's house has not changed much, but because of the rising prices, life is becoming more and more sad, because he has too many children.

Although his eldest son (18 years old) and eldest daughter (15 years old) have become. The second daughter (13 years old) and the second son (9 years old) are still too young to help sell vegetables and deliver newspapers in the village to barely earn some money, and the younger son is only 3 years old and doesn't know anything.

With the situation of his family, it is simply impossible to feed so many children, but what can he do?

In an era when the means of entertainment are so scarce, the only way to entertain after eating at night is to make a man, and if he accidentally has it, he is also desperate!

He had to work harder to make money, and in addition to farming, he went to the village blacksmith to help make some small things, which are said to be very popular in Bein now, and his craftsmanship is quite good, so the old blacksmith has always been willing to hire him.

The salary for a day at the old blacksmith is 10 silver, which means that you can earn more than 3 gold in a month, which was unimaginable in the past, but now that prices are gradually rising, this income is also stretched.

"Didi!"

The sudden sound startled old Stewart, who was in a daze at the entrance of the village, and when he looked back, he saw a beautiful metal box parked there.

He recognized it, and the people of Bein said that it was called the Magic Car, which was very valuable, and it was a vehicle that only the rich could buy, and the small parts he had made from the old blacksmith were also said to be used to repair the Magic Car.

"Hey! Old folk! What are you doing in a daze! ”

Hearing this voice, old Stewart's eyes widened, and when he looked closely, he was suddenly startled: "Holt!?" ”

"Haha! Of course it's me! ”

Holt got out of the car, triumphantly walked up to old Stewart and said, "How do I look?" ”

Old Stuart looked Holt up and down, speechless in shock.

That's because Holt was his former neighbor and a farmer, but now, old Stuart couldn't believe it was Holt himself.

Because he was so clean, too solemn, and too luxurious, old Stewart even felt that Holt was as brilliant as the aristocratic lords!

Old Stewart said honestly: "It's like a noble lord, you shouldn't really become a noble lord, right?" ”

"How so!"

Holt laughed and said, "But my current life should be better than the previous noble lords." ”

Old Stewart took a breath of cold air: "Did you really get rich there?" ”

Holt smiled smugly, pointed to the magic energy car and said, "What do you think?" ”

At the beginning of the year, when the people of Pothos Village heard that there were people in Bay who were looking for workers, and that the place they were going to was Ellington, it was best to go with their families, and several families left the village one after another, including the Holts, but old Stewart was not impressed.

Because he can't afford to gamble, a bunch of people in the family are counting on him to live, and now the situation at home is just a little better, with a little savings, let him see the hope of life, if he wants to move his family, it means that everything has to start from scratch.

The burden on the family was so heavy that it was impossible for the elder Stewart to make the choice of moving so decisively.

"You have no idea what a wonderful city Ellington is!"

Holt said with a sigh: "Looking back at the beginning of the year, I can't imagine that I can live this kind of life now!" ”

Holt invited old Stewart to get in the car and go home with him, but old Stewart didn't dare, he was too dirty for fear of soiling his seat.

"What are you afraid of!"

Holt pursed his lips and said: "Just wash it if it's dirty, this thing is just a means of transportation, and when you make money in the future, you can change to a better one!" ”

"Isn't that good enough?"

"What a thing! I'm just the cheapest Daming, the event discount price, and the full amount of the tax on the card is only more than 900 gold. ”

More than 900 gold! Nothing more!

Old Stuart was shocked again: "How rich are you now?" ”

"So-so, there are still tens of thousands of gold, but unfortunately I can't afford to use Datang."

Although the words were so-so, Holt's face was full of pride.

One or two thousand gold!

Old Stewart looked incredulous: "What the hell are you doing?" ”

If you don't rob your house, how can you make so much money in a year!?

"I'm lucky, haha, get in the car, I'll tell you."

After Old Stewart got in the car, Holt began to show him about his experience after leaving Pothos Village.

Holt's luck was indeed good, he just happened to be in time for the most critical period of Ellington's rapid development, when Donn and Fiona were worried about labor shortages all day, and Holt arrived in Ellington at this time.

After a simple training, he was arranged to work as an assembly line worker in the workshop of Datang Heavy Industries, living a simple life of three points and one line every day.

If it was just like this, according to the welfare of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, he would be able to save about a few thousand gold in a year without eating or drinking.

However, looking at the good life of those people outside, Holt was not satisfied.

He found that although the overall process of Datang Heavy Industry is complex, but some places are not difficult, I heard that Datang Chamber of Commerce is still supporting some small chambers of commerce, supporting employees to start a business, so he carefully observed for a while, began to try to make some parts by himself, after success, he boldly ran to the supervisor, planning to contract part of the processing of this part.

The supervisor checked the parts he made, and after finding that they were indeed qualified, he applied to the above, and it happened that Tang En also mentioned supporting the development of the industrial chain, so Fiona didn't look at it carefully, and approved it casually.

Although in terms of support policies, the Datang Chamber of Commerce invests in shares with funds, accounting for 51% of the dry shares of the new Chamber of Commerce, but the remaining 49% is also more than what he earns by working in the workshop!

After that, Holt took the entrepreneurial support funds issued by the Datang Chamber of Commerce and began to boldly recruit people to start work, but this busy survival really made him break through, and even married a wife.

“…… That's why I said, people must be bold and daring, otherwise they may only be able to nest in the ground for the rest of their lives. ”

After summarizing his experience, Holt said, "I'm coming back this time just to find you to work with me!" ”

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, you have been helping the old blacksmith, and he has always praised you, the old blacksmith is too old to withstand the toss, so it is the most suitable to find you."

Holt said: "I have more and more work there now, I can't be busy myself, I have to find someone I can trust, if you come, a simple training, I can give you a technical supervisor, not much in a month, I will at least give you this number!" ”

Looking at his five open fingers, old Stewart said in a sneering voice: "5 gold? It's too little......"

"Old fellow! You look down on me! Am I going to do this to our family's savior!? ”

Holt's eyes widened, in the past when there was a famine, he had been saved by old Stewart's family: "If I give the workers a monthly salary of 5 gold, not to mention that the workers are unwilling, the Datang Chamber of Commerce will probably trouble me!" Do you know what Ellington's current minimum monthly standard of living is? 50 gold! ”

"50 gold? That's not bad......"

"I'll give you ten times that number! 500 Gold! ”

Holt said proudly: "Old man! As long as you are willing to work with me, you will only earn more than this in the future! ”

500 Gold!

One month!

Old Stewart was stupefied by the number.

"Old man, listen to me, don't dig in the soil, let me tell you an inside story, starting from next year's spring planting, our country will fully implement agricultural mechanization, and one person can cultivate more land than a thousand people! What do you think you have to do if you continue to farm like this? ”

"I know you don't have any savings at home, in order to show my sincerity, give, this is the travel fee I prepared for you! Listen to me, all of you will move here! ”

Old Stewart took the brand-new stack of bills and returned home in a daze.

Looking at the dim room, several faces, large and small, his heart was sour, he stomped his feet, and finally made a decision!

……

The intercity bus smoothly pulled into the passenger terminal on the outskirts of Ellington and came to a slow stop.

"Ellington has arrived, please line up to get off the bus in an orderly manner, passengers with luggage should take out their salutes as soon as possible, and at the same time, please take your tickets to the exit to check the tickets."

It's here......

Ellington, the city of gold......

After getting off the bus, old Stewart looked at Ellington not far away, trembling and patting his cheek, he had already given up everything, whether he could survive or not, it depended on whether the city was as magical as the legend said.

"Honey, will Holt really give you that much salary......"

Standing next to old Stewart was his wife, who was followed by five children of various sizes.

Before old Stuart could speak, he saw a young woman wearing the armband of "Discipline Commissioner" suddenly ran over with a surprised face and asked, "Are you new here?" ”

He nodded blankly.

"It's your wife and ...... Five kids? ”

Old Stuart nodded a little nervously: "Yes...... What's wrong? ”

Night after night, looking at the five children, their faces were full of surprise, as if they couldn't believe that they could complete this difficult task so easily!
