Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1094, I want to go home

Inside the factory of Caihong Textile Factory in Beijing, heavy snow fell outside the factory, the cold wind howled, and the sky was freezing. The winter of the [-]th year of Hongzhi had really come, and the first heavy snow fell in the capital.

Just after dawn, the bell for getting up in the factory rang.

"Clang~clang~"

With bursts of crisp bells echoing in this large factory, the originally extremely quiet factory suddenly became noisy.

In the dormitory building, many textile workers got up as soon as they heard the bell, and then came to the boiler room, turned on the water, washed their faces and brushed their teeth, and then went to the cafeteria to have breakfast and prepare to go to work.

Rainbow Textile Factory is a large-scale textile factory with tens of thousands of employees who can weave millions of pieces of cloth every year. Most of the employees in the entire textile factory live in the dormitory of the factory, and only a small number of employees live in the capital. Have a house, or rent a house outside.

When it's time to go to and from get off work, the whole factory becomes extremely lively and noisy, there are people everywhere, everyone is busy, busy eating breakfast, busy going to work.

There was only one person with his hands on his head, lying in bed, and he was late to go to work.

This person is Chen Jin, who was originally a five-rank censor and a dignified official, but now he was punished by Emperor Hongzhi to come to this factory to experience life.

He has been here for seven days, and within seven days he already felt hopeless and completely unable to bear it.

Every morning I have to get up very early, although it is much later than the morning court, but I still have to get up at dawn, and then I have to wash in a hurry, late rebellion, and then I go to work in the factory.

His job is very simple, that is, he works as a porter in the factory, specializing in constantly moving various things between various factories.

Only in the morning of the first day, less than half an hour after he started moving, he was already tired, his back was sore, his legs were cramping, and he was complaining endlessly.

He wanted to take a break, but was severely reprimanded by the supervisor here. If he was lazy, he would serve him with a whip. If the whip didn't work, he wouldn't even have lunch.

This is a common phenomenon in factories in this era, and the management is very extensive and barbaric.

There are always beatings and scolding, and the working hours are very long and very tiring.

But the people who come here to work have to endure this in silence, because their wages are bet in the factory, and some factories even bet on their ID cards.

As long as you work honestly and diligently, most factories have piece-rate wages, and you can get more wages if you work diligently.

Ordinary people can bear it, but Chen Jin can't bear it.

I have been a scholar since I was a child, and I have been well-clothed and well-fed. I haven't suffered much crying at all.

On the first day of work, he was so tired that his hands were shaking when he was eating. He was so tired.

"This is where people live!"

"Except for eating, sleeping, and lassing, I'm at work all day long. Let alone a human being, even iron can't stand it."

Chen Jin wanted to cry, but there were no tears in his eyes.

Because in just a few days, he has cried without tears.

When he came in on the first day, he couldn't bear it and wanted to go home.

He thought of his comfortable days at home. Although it was so uncomfortable to go to morning court every day, after tens of thousands of morning courts, the life was much more comfortable.

As a censor, his affairs are actually very few, and it is enough to go to the court every morning.

The food cooked by the cook at home is very delicious, and if you are tired of eating, you can go to the restaurant outside to have a tooth-beating ceremony, and people often invite him, the censor, to go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion to be cool.

The house in the family is so comfortable to live in, and the three wives and four concubines in the family are Shui Ling and Shui Ling, not to mention how chic their lives are.

But he was brought into this factory by a decree of Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi punished him for two years.

During these two years, he could not go home, and could only stay in the factory, eating, sleeping and working with ordinary workers in the factory, without any special treatment.

He was not even allowed to disclose to anyone that he was an official of the court, otherwise, he would not only be completely dismissed from his fame and official position by Emperor Hongzhi, but also be fined to stay in this factory for ten years.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shivering.

If he really stayed in this factory for ten years, Chen Jin felt that he might really die here, exhausted here.

"I want to go home ~ I want to go home!"

Chen Jin couldn't bear it any longer, and burst into tears.

He really can't stand the life here.

I get up very early in the morning to go to work, and I can take an hour's rest when I eat at noon, and then I have to keep doing things until late at night. At the end of the day, I have to work for nearly seven hours, and I rarely have a vacation throughout the year. day.

He had had enough, had had enough.

In just seven days, he had had enough.

Never want to stay here again.

"Clang~clang~"

Another bell rang, this was the bell for going to work, and the one in front was the bell for getting up.

Hearing the ringing of the bell, Chen Jin couldn't help but get excited. He immediately got up quickly, put on his clothes in a hurry, and hurried to the workshop.

"Cuckoo~Cuckoo~"

His stomach growled in disbelief, and he couldn't help but regret that he didn't eat breakfast, and he was so hungry.

But the rules in the factory are so strict, he can't go to eat after the meal time, he can only go to work hungry.

"Chen Jin~ It's you again!"

"I'm late again today, five cents will be deducted!"

Seeing Chen Jin's late arrival, Zhang Hu, the steward in charge of moving the area, couldn't help but reprimanded him, and at the same time took out a notebook to write it down.

"Guard Zhang, I'm not feeling well, so I'm late, and I haven't eaten rebellion, can you let me eat before I go to work?"

Chen Jin asked weakly while touching his stomach.

"The factory has factory rules. You can't eat after the meal time. Do you think this is your home?"

"Hurry up and get to work, and send this cart of cotton to Factory No. 2."

Zhang Hu said impatiently.

This Chen Jin looked like a cultured person, and he didn't know what he had committed, but he was reduced to work as a porter in a factory.

He is gentle and pot-bellied, and he doesn't look like a coolie, but there is no way, because the higher-ups have explained that this is what he does.

Hearing Zhang Hu's words, Chen Jin was helpless, and he really wanted to reprimand him severely in a superior tone.

But thinking that if he did this, he would have to stay here for ten years, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Crack~"

As he walked, he slapped himself hard.

It's all because of my cheap mouth, and because of my love to be a shit stirrer.

What's wrong with the policy proposed by Liu Jin?

It's all right now, until now no one has said a word to himself, pleaded for himself, and not even a colleague here has come to see him.

If someone came to see me, I might be able to transfer to an easier position.

"You can still live if you do evil by the sky, but you can't live when you do evil by yourself!"

Chen Jin ate and pushed the heavy cart to the workshop.

Because he didn't have enough to eat, his feet were very flimsy. If he was not careful, he fell heavily to the ground, grinning in pain.

"Chen Jin, be careful, you'll be fine if you fall, but if you get this cart of cotton dirty, be careful and I'll beat you to death."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Hu immediately walked over and reprimanded him.

"I quit~"

When Chen Jinhuo came up, he fell half to death, and it was fine if he didn't get up by himself, and he was scolded. Could it be that his majestic fifth-rank censor is not as important as this cart of cotton?
"Don't do it?"

"You treat this as your home, come and leave whenever you want?"

When Zhang Hu heard this, his tiger eyes widened immediately, and then he said fiercely: "If you don't want to do it anymore, get the hell out of me immediately, and see how you look, there is no one who wants to work."

"Get out early, my handling team can be more worry-free."

"Get out now!"

Being scolded by a low-level factory manager like Zhang Hu, Chen Jin's anger rose in his heart.

What he has always looked down on are these ordinary people. He is a scholar, a scholar-bureaucrat, and a fifth-rank censor.

In the past, he wouldn't even look straight at someone like Zhang Hu, but now he is scolded by Zhang Hu and tells you to get the hell out.

This made him furious. He had never suffered such humiliation.

He got up together, flicked his sleeves heavily, and walked straight to the factory gate.

But when he came to the gate of the factory, he remembered Emperor Hongzhi's will again in his mind, stopped immediately, then lowered his head helplessly and slowly returned to Zhang Hu's side.

"Why are you back?"

"Didn't you say quit?"

"No one asks you to do things, and no one forces you to do things. If you want to make money, you have to do things honestly."

Zhang Hu looked at Chen Jin, and couldn't help laughing immediately.

This Chen Jin, who is in his forties, doesn't even understand this truth.

Didn't you see that everyone in the factory is working very seriously?

"Guard Zhang, I'm new here and I don't know the rules yet, so please bear with me, forgive me~"

Chen Jin apologized to Guanshi Zhang.

"Okay, less nonsense, let's go to work~"

Zhang Hu shook his head helplessly, he really couldn't figure out why this Chen Jin came back again?

Doing anything is no better than doing this. What's more, this Chen Jin is still a scholar, who can read and write, and at the very least, it is no problem to be a teacher.

But I just came to this factory to work as a porter.

Zhang Hu couldn't understand Chen Jin's helplessness. He could only continue to carry things on an empty stomach.
