Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1113, superior

"Gudong~Gudong~"

Tom picked up the big glass, raised his head, and drank the beer in big, big gulps, almost finishing it in one gulp.

"Cool~"

The whole person couldn't help shouting out comfortably, and then said to Old John: "Have another drink~"

"Okay~"

Old John was all smiles.

The tavern business is getting better and better, and more and more people come to Hong Kong.

Not only people from Hong Kong are slowly gathering here to make a living, but people from other places around are also trying their best to sneak into Hong Kong.

Because there are more opportunities and more opportunities to make money here, as long as you can find a job, you can easily earn two taels of silver in a month.

Daming's silver dollars are quite valuable, one tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins, and a few copper coins can buy a catty of high-quality flour here, and make a lot of high-quality bread at home.

Two taels of silver a month is enough for a family to live comfortably. Compared with the people in the surrounding area, this is simply unimaginable.

Secondly, here in Hong Kong, not only is it easy to make money, but the prices are also very cheap, and you can buy everything. Life in Hong Kong is relatively easy and simple, so that the people on the surrounding islands of England, the island of Ireland, and the French across the strait There are people who smuggled into Hong Kong.

"Tom~"

"I have a relative who is here in Hong Kong. I wonder if you can help find a job for me?"

Old John whispered to Tom.

"I really can't help you with this. You know everything about Hong Kong. People in Daming only recruit people with identity cards. Those who come here by smuggling don't even have ID cards. It's really hard to find a job."

When Tom heard this, he shook his head helplessly.

"I know, Tom, don't you work here at the pier, as long as you have strength here at the pier, see if you can help me, my relative, into it."

"It's been half a month since he came here, but he hasn't found a job yet, and he's been hiding all the time. If he hasn't worked for a long time and is caught again, he may be reduced to a slave."

Old John nodded and said worriedly.

The Ming people are particularly strict in this area. In Hong Kong, the people with the highest status are undoubtedly the Ming people, followed by the original local aborigines in Hong Kong.

According to Daming's household registration system, the original local aborigines were issued Daming ID cards, which clearly stated everything about them.

In addition to the Ming people and local aborigines, there are a large number of slaves. The slave trade in Europe is very popular. Because of its special status, Hong Kong soon became the most important slave trading market in Western Europe.

Slaves from all over the world gathered here, and most of them were bought by the Ming people. The Ming people basically owned a lot of fields and manors and needed a lot of slaves to cultivate them.

The same is true here in Hong Kong. In the fleet that went on an expedition to Europe, the officers and men of the fleet basically received a lot of land rewards here in Hong Kong. Many people also chose to settle here, so they bought a large number of slaves.

Slaves are not considered citizens in Ming Dynasty, without any protection, they are regarded as the private property of slave owners, and can be bought, sold and disposed of freely.

The smuggling of a large number of people into Hong Kong has also brought many problems to Hong Kong. The Governor of Hong Kong has also formulated a strict system for this. Anyone who cannot show his ID card or has no one to testify will be directly regarded as a slave. .

Despite this, there are still a large number of people who choose to smuggle into Hong Kong.

Especially on the island of England, because Hong Kong is connected to counties in the east, it is very convenient for smuggling, which has led to a large number of people smuggling to Hong Kong.

"Old John, it's not that I won't help you, but that I really can't do anything about it. My current Mandarin is not very good, otherwise I can be promoted to a small manager, and then maybe I can help you. "

"However, I heard that Colin can help people make ID cards, but the quality of the ID cards produced is not good, and they can be easily identified. I suggest you go get one for your relatives first."

"Even if it's fake, it's still useful sometimes. Daming people don't check ID cards anytime and anywhere."

Tom thought about it and said.

"With an identity card, you may be able to find a job. As long as you stay here for a long time, you will automatically be able to obtain real Hong Kong citizenship."

"It's a good suggestion~"

"Thank you Tom, that's what I asked you to do."

When Old John heard this, he immediately cheered up, and hastily filled a mug of beer for Tom.

"Thank you~"

Tom took the beer and began to gulp, gulp.

Looking at the tavern, there are a lot of people in the tavern, and there are also a lot of women in it, and all kinds of strange sounds can be heard from time to time.

"Hey, can I have a beer?"

At this moment, a blonde girl came to Tom and asked with a smile.

"Of course~"

Tom nodded with a smile, and nodded to old John.

"You really are a heart-warming gentleman~"

The girl said with a smile while drinking beer.

"how much is it?"

Tom looked at the blonde in front of him, she was very nice, sexy and hot, and she was also very young, but she could tell from her voice that she was not from Hong Kong.

Few of the local aboriginal people in Hong Kong would do this kind of thing, because as long as they are not lazy, they can live a good life just by finding a job.

Men who have strength can go to the wharf to carry goods, build roads, build houses, and do things for the Ming people; women can also wash and cook for the Ming people, etc. The income is also acceptable, and some do well. He even became a servant in some Daming families.

Servants are not slaves, they are legal citizens of Ming Dynasty, and in Daming, only those who are really rich and have status can afford servants.

Becoming a servant of a Ming nobleman is something that many Hong Kong people dream of, because becoming a servant can not only get a stable job and income, but also introduce their family members to their masters.

With the guarantee of the Ming nobles, they can do many things.

For example, you can go to the school of the Ming people to learn the language and characters of the Ming Dynasty, and you can also become the manager of the Ming Dynasty Commercial Bank, or become an official here in Hong Kong, etc. In short, there are many benefits.

Generally speaking, the local aborigines in Hong Kong, as it became an overseas colony of Ming Dynasty, their lives are getting better and better, and their status and status have also become higher. Compared with the people in the surrounding areas, they begin to feel that they are Is superior.

Tom looked at the blonde in front of him, she was very good. Many people who smuggled into Hong Kong could not get a job because they did not have ID cards, so many women were reduced to selling their bodies in taverns.

"Fifty Wen~"

The girl stroked Tom's chest lightly and said.

"Too expensive, too expensive~"

"Everyone else only needs [-] Wen~"

When Tom heard this, he shook his head again and again.

"I'll make you feel it's worth it."

The girl stuck out her tongue and said softly.

"OK~OK~"

Tom looked at her, and immediately shook his head.

It's time to go out and be cool and unrestrained when the salary is paid today.

After negotiating the price, Tom quickly settled the bill, put on the girl and went out to look chic.

"Cool~"

After having a good time, Tom felt refreshed. Looking back at the blonde who was tidying up, he couldn't help raising his proud head slightly.

In the in-depth communication just now, Tom also got a general idea of ​​the situation of this girl. An Irishman came to Hong Kong illegally. Because she has no identity and cannot find a job, she can only rely on this method to make ends meet.

"It's better now~"

Tom couldn't help sighing.

If before, he was just a poor fisherman.

I worry about having a full stomach every day, and fishing in the sea is very risky. If one is unlucky, he may never come back.

Since this place became Ming's overseas colony, their life has been easier.

Although the work is tiring, the money is real, and the prices here are cheap. The high-quality flour is cheaper than the horse bread and black bread in the past.

In addition to being full, this can reflect a sense of superiority in other aspects.

They are the citizens of the overseas colonies of the Ming Dynasty who have the identity cards of the Ming Dynasty. They are citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and they are no longer Englishmen.

Hong Kong's prosperity and development have attracted a large inflow of people, and they are naturally much better off as locals.

In the past, even if you were rich, you would never have had sex with such a blonde girl, but now, this is just the simplest benefit, only a few dozen copper coins, here in the old district, there are too many, too many options to choose from .

The little sheep in England, the little horse in Germany, the Gallic chicken in France, the female knight in the Iberian Peninsula, the shy curly hair on the island of Ireland...

"It's better to be a Daming person, the great son of Daming, I will always be your loyal subject!"

After Tom had a good time, he couldn't help shouting in his heart, no matter what country it is, no matter whether it is loyal to the King of England or the Son of Heaven.

Whoever makes my life easier, I will be loyal to whom.

As for the King of England, I heard that he is busy training the army recently, and seems to want to take back the Hampshire ceded to Spain, but the Spaniards are not easy to mess with now, with strong troops and a large number of troops stationed here in Hampshire , and formed an alliance with the Holy Roman Empire.

It is not easy to take back Hampshire. As for Hong Kong, it is estimated that the king of England, who was beaten up, would not dare to have such an idea. A powerful Ming fleet and army are stationed here, which is enough to easily Tore the mercenaries of the king of England to pieces.
