Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 554, Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden
Along the cement road from Shanhaiguan to Tianjin, Liu Jin led the hunters and nobles of the prairie tribes such as Bateer, Hadan, and Huhe all the way south to Tianjin.

Then I am going to make another transfer in Tianjin to go to the capital. This is the most convenient way.

As it gets closer to Tianjin, both sides of the concrete road become more and more prosperous.

Around the concrete road, residential houses, factories, workshops, teahouses, taverns, inns, etc. can be seen everywhere, and more and more carriages come and go on the road, very busy.

The cement road has convenient transportation and convenient travel, which will naturally attract more people to settle on both sides of the cement road, and convenient transportation also means the artery of the economy.

The arteries around the economy can naturally radiate and drive the development of the areas on both sides of the road.

"It's really bustling and lively~"

Battelle and others walked and watched all the way, and there were new things everywhere.

"Haha, it's nothing. When you arrive in Tianjin, Battelle, you will know what prosperity is."

Hearing Battelle's words, Liu Jin also said with a smile.

It is also Liu Jin's plan to go to Tianjin, take them to see the prosperity of Tianjin, feel the breath of the new era, and let them keep their eyes open.

"Listening to what Lord Liu said, I wish I could fly to Tianjin now to see the prosperity of Tianjin."

When Battelle heard it, he immediately said with a smile.

"You won't be disappointed for sure."

"Calculating the time, we will arrive in Tianjin almost before sunset. I have already prepared people. I have prepared a banquet here in Tianjin. Today we will have a few drinks."

Liu Jin said confidently.

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to the fine wine and food in the Central Plains."

Butler said with a smile.

Looking at the road ahead, the spacious road is full of traffic and people coming and going. In his opinion, it is already quite busy, but it is still tens of kilometers away from Tianjin.

Because they are all on horseback, the team moves very fast.

Gradually Tianjin appeared in the field of vision.

The tall chimneys of factories first appeared in everyone's sight.

The huge smoke, more than ten feet tall, shot straight into the sky, and the billowing black smoke kept pouring out. The sky in Tianjin seemed to have become much darker.

"What a big chimney?"

It was the first time for Huhe, Hadan, Battelle and others to see such a huge smoke charge, and there were a lot of them, and they couldn't help opening their eyes wide.

"Master Liu, what are these chimneys used for?"

"Don't they all use fire to cook?"

Hadan asked curiously.

"Haha, of course not, what kind of chimney does anyone use for cooking?"

"These are the chimneys of factories and workshops such as cement factories and textile factories."

"Do you see the areas under the chimneys? These areas are all large and small factories. Looking at the number of chimneys, there are at least a few hundred factories in this area."

Liu Jin also looked at the chimneys that emitted thick smoke into the sky, and there were a lot of them.

He had only seen this scene in the old TV series before time travel. The chimneys of the industrial age emitted thick smoke from civilization.

Well, although it pollutes the atmosphere.

But in this day and age, it is definitely a symbol of civilization.

Looking at these chimneys, Liu Jin felt that he had not crossed in vain.

"Factory, workshop?"

All the prairie people nodded immediately, and they had learned something about Da Ming on the way here.

I know that the Beijing-Tianjin area of ​​the Ming Dynasty is very popular to set up factories, workshops, and business firms.

"Lord Liu, I heard that the number of workers in this factory ranges from a few hundred to as many as several thousand or even tens of thousands. Doesn't it mean that there are hundreds of thousands of people working in such a small place? ?”

Battelle seemed to think of something, and said in disbelief.

"Yes, the factory requires a lot of labor. This is an industrial zone belonging to Tianjin, and what we see now is only a part of it."

"There are more than one million people working in the factories and workshops in the entire Tianjin Industrial Zone."

Liu Jin nodded and said, this is the case in the capitalist era and the industrial age.

Now that the steam engine has not been produced, the factories and workshops here in Tianjin are nothing. When the steam engine is produced, the productivity will take off.

With the advent of capitalism and the industrial age, factories will bloom everywhere, and there will be more and more large factories.

"Over a million?"

Hardan, Huhe and the others gasped.

It is estimated that there are not a million people in the entire grassland.

But in this small area in front of me, there are actually millions of people working and living in it, it's too crowded.

With shock, the team is getting closer to Tianjin.

When you actually come to Tianjin, you can clearly see the spacious concrete roads extending in all directions, and everything is neatly planned and dotted with stars.

On both sides of the spacious concrete road, there are huge factory buildings, filled with people and busy.

At the gates of each factory, a large number of four-wheeled carriages came in and out, constantly transporting various goods, and the entire road seemed extremely busy.

As we got closer, we could see the chimneys shooting straight into the sky at close range, billowing black smoke, and the air was filled with the choking smell of coal.

The industrial area on Tianjin's side is huge, even bigger than that on the capital's side.

After all, the capital city is at the foot of the emperor, subject to great constraints and jurisdiction, Tianjin is different, there are not too many constraints, coupled with Liu Jin's deliberate guidance and planning, it will naturally develop vigorously.

The number of factories and workshops in Tianjin is several times that in Beijing. If we really want to calculate according to the output value of later generations or gdp, Tianjin has already surpassed the capital.

"How about it?"

Liu Jin looked at Battelle and the others. They were all like bumpkins from the countryside at this moment, and their eyes were dumbfounded.

The huge factory area, the busy flow of people, the busy roads, everything is completely different from their grassland, as if they have entered another world.

Everything is so fresh, so novel, dazzling and dizzying.

"I seem to have come to another world~"

Battelle couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"Haha, it's not a big deal. The busiest places in Tianjin are the Tianjin Wharf and the Tianjin business district."

Liu Jin smiled and led everyone to move on.

After walking through the Tianjin Industrial Zone, we soon came to the Tianjin Commercial Zone.

At this time, the sun has set and the night has fallen, and the lights have just come on.

It was already time for the factories to get off work, and suddenly the whole Tianjin seemed to be alive.
The off-duty workers took off their dirty clothes for work, put on decent new clothes, and walked towards Tianjin's business district in groups.

Going shopping, playing, dining, and enjoying the night life have now become the daily life of Tianjin people.

Here in the commercial district of Tianjin, tall buildings are lit in the summer, and whale oil lamps are lit. Coupled with the illumination of glass lamps, the whole street becomes extremely bright.

In order to attract customers, the shops, restaurants, teahouses, commercial houses, brothels, etc., are decorated with bright lights and feasting, making people dazzled and dizzy when looking at them.

At this time, the spacious concrete road has become extremely congested, the flow of people is too large and too dense, and there are too many people going out to shop and play.

After get off work, the business here in Tianjin Commercial Street is the hottest.

Battelle, Hadan, Huhe and the others all looked straight at this moment.

In their impression, at night, it was pitch black, and after sunset, it was time to rest.

But the scene in front of me.

Brightly lit streets, dense crowds, bright high-rise buildings, bustling shops, and Ming women wearing all kinds of gorgeous clothes...

The eyes of those who watched were dazzled.

"It's still night?"

"These lights?"

"Such a dense flow of people?"

"Ming..."

These tribal leaders and nobles from the grassland kept sighing, as if Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, everything she saw was very strange.

"Haha, let's go to eat first. After dinner, everyone has plenty of time to come out for a stroll."

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing when he saw how they looked like turkeys.

In fact, everyone who comes to Tianjin for the first time will be deeply shocked by its prosperity and hustle and bustle.

In this era when the wife and children go back to bed at night, the nights in Tianjin are really fascinating.

Bringing Battelle, Hardan, Huhe and the others to Tianjin Wanghai Tower, Liu Jin had asked someone to reserve the best private room in Wanghai Tower in advance.

The entire Wanghai Tower is the best restaurant in Tianjin, with very high floors and luxurious decoration.

At night, the entire building of Wanghai Tower will be illuminated. Whale oil and glass lamps make the whole Wanghai Tower brightly lit and resplendent, like a palace in the sky.

When Battelle, Hardan and the others came to Wanghai Building, they all felt dirty looking at the building in front of them, and they didn't even dare to step in.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the night view of Tianjin City~"

Liu Jin looked at the appearance of Battelle and others, smiled and took the lead to walk in Wanghai Tower.

The private room on the top floor of Wanghai Building is the most expensive, but it also has the best view, overlooking the entire Tianjin city.

Soon, they brought Battelle, Hardan, Huhe and the others to the sixth floor of Haiwang Building, looking at the entire Tianjin city through the glass windows.

"Longevity~"

"Is this the Heavenly Palace?"

"Unbelievable~"

"It's so beautiful~"

When Battelle and the others came to the sixth floor and overlooked the whole of Tianjin through the glass windows, they all couldn't help exclaiming suddenly, their eyes were dumbfounded, and the scenery before them was unforgettable for their entire lives.
