Chapter 436: 436 Tang people
Chapter 436 436 People of the Tang Dynasty
The Zhao family can be considered a small influence in Dongwan City. His family has been in business for generations, and their business has grown bigger and bigger. They have always been the richest man in Dongwan City.
It's just that the richest man is a little aggrieved now because his family has not been in peace recently: when the Mirage invaded, they asked their family to "pay donations" and stole most of their property.
Later, the people of Mirage were beaten away by the Tang people. The Tang people came and searched their house again. Even his favorite desk was moved and confiscated.
But fortunately, although some household items were taken away, they left a way for their family to survive. At least they extorted money and robbed their money.
At first he was slightly relieved, but Mr. Zhao was still planning a comeback, but more bad news came.
Simply, the bad news that made him more desperate than having his house ransacked suddenly appeared in front of his eyes!
Dongwan Port, which was originally half a military port and half a fishing port, changed almost overnight, with sailing ships carrying a steady stream of supplies to the pier.
Due to insufficient transportation capacity, materials piled up like mountains on the dock. Neatly stacked sacks were everywhere, containing either cement or flour. It was frightening to see them.
How can anyone transport food like this? I'm afraid that Zheng Guo's capital granary may not be able to see so much food!
It is naturally impossible for the people of Zheng, who are rare and strange, to understand what newly cultivated seeds are. It is impossible for them to understand what centralized management is, it is impossible to understand what mechanized farming is, let alone what pesticides and fertilizers are...
Hence, Zhao Daguan’s understanding of grain harvests is actually far behind the development of the times.
In distant Bunas, there are already glass greenhouses that produce off-season vegetables and fruits for luxurious dignitaries!
This is the progress brought by Datang Group. When Tang Mo sold a weapon to kill one person, his technology fed a hundred people! The speed at which he kills people cannot keep up with the speed at which he creates a population, so no one criticizes him for selling weapons. On the contrary, some people say that he is a star of peace.
This will probably continue until he starts selling atomic bombs, because humans are better at reducing populations than feeding them...
Countless supplies arrived in East Bay City as if emerging from the bottom of the sea. Although Dino and Tiger both felt that this transportation speed was too slow, for other local aborigines, this transportation speed was simply too slow. Exaggerated and scary.
Grain distribution was overwhelmed by Datang Grain Company in an instant, and it couldn't even struggle or pull. Those grain merchants almost fell flat and instantly became supply and marketing cooperatives affiliated with Datang Grain Company.
How much do you think Bunas’ work clothes should be sold for? Of course it's so cheap that it makes you want to cry. How could the Datang Group, which planned to stabilize the newly occupied areas, see such a small profit, so naturally it launched a low-price promotion.
As a result, the local cloth merchants had no place to cry, and they lost everything within a few days. They who laughed at the grain merchants yesterday are now so poor that they can only afford grain.
Therefore, they who did not have the courage to commit suicide had no choice but to cry bitterly at home and eat two more bowls of rice with tears in their eyes...
Things are not over yet. With the arrival of subsequent transport ships, the originally expensive iron pots and kitchen knives have become cheap commodities.
Aboriginal people suddenly discovered that as long as someone in their family worked for Datang Group, they could afford almost all daily necessities on the market.
Easy-to-use chemicals such as soap, iron products that were previously unaffordable, shoddy but cheap porcelain, work clothes that are the same style but are durable...
Life has gotten better without realizing it, and the good things make people feel a little unreal.
More exaggerated things began to appear gradually. In the past, the number of people who lost their lives due to illness began to decrease. The medicines provided by Datang Group were like elixirs that could save dying lives.
After taking medicine to remove the parasites in their intestines and witnessing the whole process, the local aborigines regarded the Tang people as gods who came to save them.
"Have you heard? Those Tang people...were all ordered by a sinner?" An elderly woman washed her clothes with soap and asked the little daughter-in-law beside her gossiping.
The neighbor’s daughter-in-law is also washing clothes. There are patches on the clothes and they look a little old. She was reluctant to throw it away, so she still insisted on wearing it: "I heard it, and they said it has black hair and eyes, just like us."
The aunt immediately sighed with emotion: "That is really a fairy-like figure. The one in our family got sick a few days ago. He only took a few elixirs and was cured, and it only cost a few dollars."
"Yeah, if this goes away, why don't you go and see a doctor about this illness and **** your house?" the young daughter-in-law said while tapping the clothes with a laundry stick.
"Hey! How dare you talk about the past? Who could hire a doctor or afford medicinal soup in the past?" The aunt spoke louder and louder, and looked to the other side with evil intentions.
The ugly-looking lady proprietor of the drug store is also doing laundry. Their business has been completely ruined recently. No one came to ask for medical advice, and no one came to get medicine. The finished medicines provided by Datang Group are quick and effective, and the diagnosis of the military doctors who arrived with the army is also accurate and direct, and they are increasingly trusted by the locals.
If Datang Group had not temporarily built a hospital in Dongwan City and asked these old doctors to help, they would probably have gone bankrupt along with the cloth merchants.
However, when some people cry, others laugh. As ship after ship of supplies arrived in Dongwan City, the indigenous people began to support the rule of the Datang Group more and more.
Public security began to become stable, and people hiding in the mountains and forests gradually began to return to the countryside to resume production, and everything began to become in order.
As troops from the 4th Division of Datang Group began to arrive one after another, Tiger had more troops in hand.
Subsequently, something even more convincing to the aboriginal people of East Bay City appeared - after replenishing the gas, airship bombers with terrifying paintings flew slowly towards East Bay City.
When the aborigines in Dongwan City saw these big sharks flying over their heads with their ferocious faces and open mouths, covering the sky like dark clouds, no one had any extra thoughts.
Mirage Wuxiong, who was helping organize the goblin mining, saw these airships and became more like a qualified dog legion.
The goblins on the construction site are working harder, and even the number of escapees has been reduced. Everyone in the mine is working enthusiastically, and if they are lazy even a little bit, they will be caught by the mirage bear to set an example and beat them severely.
And after seeing the airship, Mirage Wenmao, who was in the city to receive the slaves from the Mirage Kingdom, truly confirmed his identity as a conscientious comprador.
This eldest brother even went to the dock to inspect the goods in person a few days later and rejected the old, weak, sick and disabled people sent by Mirage. His serious attitude could not be overstated as rigorous.
“We are the Tang people!” Thinking of what her children said in school, the aunt suddenly felt proud.
The younger daughter-in-law also nodded. Although she had no children going to school, her husband worked on a construction site and often said that he was from the Tang Dynasty after he came back.
If we are not all relatives, then why are the wages given enough and never withheld, why do the soldiers cross the border without committing any crimes, and why do the officials really treat them as individuals when they treat them?
When the people of the Mirage Kingdom came, they would exploit and bully them without hesitation. Therefore, even if the people of the Mirage Kingdom were strong and strong, they would never bear fruit, and they would be members of the Mirage Kingdom for the rest of their lives.
But after the Tang people came, they helped them resume production, let them have food and clothing, and also helped them regain their dignity—this is not a brother, what else can it be?
The time when the concept of Tang people first appeared in history is unknown, but it did appear during the period when the Datang Group occupied Dongwan Island. The locals called the occupying forces of the Datang Group Tangren, and later also called themselves Tangren.
Later, people in the areas occupied by the Datang Group began to call themselves Tang people. The proof that they were Tang people was their identity certificates with their bare-headed photos and steel seals.
Finally, everyone in the areas controlled by the Tang Empire called themselves Tang people, with a sense of superiority and superiority.
…
“Wanting to become a ‘Tangren’… it’s not that simple!” In the office, Dino’s fingers tapped on a blank identity document.
Issuing Datang Group identity certificates to hundreds of thousands of people is no small project. It takes several months to take photos, stamps, verify identities, clarify obligations and responsibilities, and indicate benefits and bonuses.
Now he doesn't have that much time to do things that obviously need to be lower in priority. What he has to do now is to return the social economy to normal as soon as possible.
The materials and products of the Datang Group have completely destroyed the local economy of Dongwan Island. He must try his best to integrate the economic operation here with the Datang Group and create a virtuous cycle.
In addition, many troops, carrying new weapons that need to be tested, are also arriving here one after another. The follow-up work also requires him to coordinate with Tiger.
Why has the development of weapons stalled? Because there is no war! War is the driving force behind the development of weapons!
When Tang Mo got the summary of all the frontline issues in the Dongwan Island Battle, Datang Group's technical reserves were all revealed.
No joke at all, some weapons that have never been heard of on the market have now been manufactured and sent to Dongwan Island for testing.
There are many types of these new weapons, but they are still kept secret. However, airships, as new weapons in the sky, have attracted the attention of the military of various countries.
