At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane
Chapter 726: Extra 3, Black Construction Site
Chapter 726: Extra , Black Construction Site
Zhu Bin simply learned about the history of this world and didn't care too much about this world that had been transformed by the time travelers.
He is still an illegal resident in this world, and how to survive is his most urgent matter. He has consulted the lawyers in this world about the issue of settling down.
The Tang Dynasty was an immigrant country, and settling down there was very simple, especially for Han people like Zhu Bin. It was even easier to settle down in the Tang Dynasty by spending 1 Tang coins.
But it was a bit difficult for Zhu Bin. He pawned his watch for 2000 yuan, which was barely enough to live for more than a month according to the prices in this small town. If he wanted to earn enough money to settle down, he had to go out to work.
Zhu Bin slowly left, letting the lawyer breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "Why would such a killer come to Baima Town?"
The lawyer was a little wary of Zhu Bin. It was very rare for Han people to become illegal residents these days, and most of them had committed homicide. In addition, Zhu Bin had struggled to survive on the battlefield for more than a year. The lawyer could feel Zhu Bing's murderous aura and instinctively felt that this person should not be offended.
But Zhu Bin's job search was not smooth. Baima Town was a remote small town in Tang State. Its pillar industry was animal husbandry. There were not many jobs and the average salary was around 3000.
After those bosses knew that Zhu Bin was an illegal resident, they were generally only willing to pay him a salary of 1,100 to 1200 yuan. With this income, he would need to go without food or drink for a year before he could get a permanent residence. This was something Zhu Bin found difficult to accept.
Thinking that there were few opportunities in a small city, Zhu Bin stayed here for less than three days and then bought a train ticket to the Tang Dynasty capital, Saint-Lodu.
This train journey was not a wonderful one. The steam train was very noisy, and there were often clanging sounds coming from the rails at the bottom. Coupled with the violent shaking of the carriages, Zhu Bin sometimes worried that the train would derail.
Because he had no money, he bought the cheapest train ticket. The passengers in the carriage were similar to him, wearing patched clothes and did not look very wealthy. There were all kinds of agricultural and sideline products in the carriage, and the smell could be imagined. If he had not been baptized by war for more than a year, he would definitely not be able to stand such a smell.
There was no shortage of people chatting during the boring train journey. A young man sitting opposite Zhu Bin wanted to have a chat with him, but because of his experience on the battlefield, he had no desire to communicate with others and just wanted to listen to the people around him chatting.
Although this is a new world, the language spoken by the people around him is very close to Mandarin, so Zhu Bin can understand what they are saying.
But Zhu Bin frowned at the conversations of these people. A large number of people here had suffered disasters in their hometowns and wanted to flee to the capital of the Tang Dynasty to make a living. In addition, from the news he read in the newspapers, he knew that the economic situation of the Tang Dynasty was not very good.
There are all kinds of so-called economic experts who prescribe remedies for the Tang Dynasty in newspapers, such as tax cuts and reduction of policies that restrict economic development. These are all common slogans.
Even more outrageous is that the money should be handed over to richer people, and the reason given is that richer people can use funds more efficiently, create more wealth and more jobs, and then the economy will recover. It turns out that experts are the same in every world.
Based on the little information he had obtained, this world had not yet experienced a global economic crisis. It relied on the Han Dynasty, the largest consumer market, and the policies left behind by the time travelers to effectively maintain the stability of this world.
But this order has begun to collapse, just waiting for a fuse to detonate it completely.
After sailing for one day and one night, the train finally stopped at Zhu Bin's destination, Saint-Lodu.
"The train is about to arrive at the terminal. Please pack your belongings."
Zhu Bin picked up his backpack and followed the crowd slowly out of the train station.
Although the train station in Saint-Lodu is not as advanced as the train station in Zhu Bin World, it is just as crowded, and everyone leaves the train station like sardines.
Outside the train station there were people hawking snacks, taxi drivers, people soliciting guests for hotels, and thieves and pickpockets hiding in the dark, preying on careless travelers. In Zhu Bin's opinion, these people were so rampant, almost openly, and this kind of chaos was something he had never seen before.
Zhu Bin walked for an hour from the train station before he hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take him to the cheapest hotel.
"Brother, if you don't have money, I can recommend you a B&B. Although the conditions are a little worse, it is the cheapest in Saint-Lo." "Okay!"
Rice is expensive in Chang'an, and the same is true in Saint-Lo. The driver took him to a slum-like place, turning left and right and arriving at a three-story brick house.
The landlord gave him a small room of a few square meters, with a simple wooden bed and a patched quilt. Even this cost fifty yuan a day, and if he wanted to live there permanently, he could get 1000 yuan a month.
Zhu Bin first gave five days' money.
Then he counted all the money he had and found that it was less than a thousand yuan. Finding a job became his top priority.
The next day, Zhu Bin walked on the unfamiliar streets of Saint-Lo, trying to find a job that suits him.
"Beep, beep!" Suddenly a whistle sounded in the street: "Catch him!"
"What are you doing?" Zhu Bin was naturally unwilling to be caught like this, but the people who were arresting him had already been targeting him and blocked all his escape routes. He was outnumbered and was quickly subdued.
"Why did you catch me?"
"The imperial court has issued an order that all refugees and idle people should be arrested and put through labor education."
"Grass!"
Soon he was taken to an orphanage where there were many young and strong people like him who were also arrested without knowing anything.
After eating a meal of white rice and bean sprouts, I was sent to a remote construction site in the afternoon.
A foreman-like man glared at Zhu Bin's men fiercely and shouted, "You are a bunch of bastards. You should be taught a lesson when you come here. If you dare to make trouble, I will beat you with sticks. If you dare to run away, I will peel off your skin."
"Pa!" Perhaps because he was displeased with Zhu Bin, the foreman suddenly whipped Zhu Bin and said, "This is what happens when you don't obey."
Half of Zhu Bin's face was burning, but he held it back.
The foreman said to his men, "Each work group will have two people."
Zhu Bin was assigned to the brick-moving group. He put the bricks on a cart and pushed it to a three-story building several hundred meters away. Not only did they not have a chance to rest, but they would be whipped by the supervisor if they were a little slow.
Zhu Bin was naturally unwilling to work illegally like this. While moving bricks, he was also observing where he could escape.
But this place was obviously carefully selected. There was a wall inside the construction site to prevent them from escaping. Outside it was an open area. There were several people patrolling on the commanding heights, and there were two cars beside them. It was basically impossible for them to escape during the day.
After a hard day, they were transported back to the welfare home by trucks at night.
Dinner was the usual double white, but this one said beef stew with potatoes.
