The weather in Tanggu in May has begun to become a little hot, not to mention that this huge industrial special zone exudes endless energy at all times.

The Northern Steel Group, which was jointly invested by Carnegie Steel Company and Lotte Bank of the United States, has become the landmark building of the Special Administrative Region at this moment.

The tall chimneys roll in black smoke every day. If it is the west wind, it will be better. The black smoke blows directly into the Bohai Sea. If it blows into the Dongfeng Tanggu City, it will be unlucky. The black dust is covered with coal smoke.

There are six blast furnaces in the Northern Steel Plant. Each furnace can produce more than 40,000 tons of steel of various types every month. It has a production capacity of nearly 250,000 tons per month, which has surpassed the entire Qing Dynasty. The annual output of 3 million tons was already the largest steel plant in the international market in the 19th century.

The coal and iron sent from Kailuan are not enough. Now, coal from Shanxi has begun to be transported to Tanggu in batches through land transportation, and even North Korean iron ore is shipped from Bohai Bay one after another.

The huge steel group wall is eight or nine meters high, lying on the ground like a monster, and can spit out shiny steel every time you breathe. The factory sales department is filled with merchants from the Qing Dynasty, and the steel deposit paid in advance is actually lined up next year.

The mechanical manufacturing industry is more divergent with the steel industry as the core. Needless to say, military factories are, precision machinery factories can mass-produce various types of gear sets, and the sickle hoes produced by civilian light industrial agricultural tools factories are extremely cheap, and selling them out is simply dumping at a low price.

Here we have become the Ruhr in the East, Liverpool in Asia, and Pittsburg in China... Every mouthful of air you breathe is filled with the smell of coal and iron, and the power of flame and steel.

The crowds on the streets were flocking and coming and going. The police whistled and tried hard to maintain order. Western carriages replaced all the sedan chairs in the Qing Dynasty. People who sat in sedan chairs in this city were the most discriminated against.

The streets are full of workers, merchants, engineers, and military police... Everyone is in a hurry and you can't see a idler at all. There are no beggars, no gangsters, no wanderings standing on the street, no scammers or thieves who walk in the world.

The city is full of power and order. You can't even see a few people dragging their braids on the street. Those merchants from other provinces of the Qing Dynasty secretly changed into suits and tied their braids on their heads and covered them with a Western hat.

This is a very disciplined city. Xiao Letian has formulated a very clear management position for this city from the beginning, with strict entry and loose entry and high salary to retain talents!

Yan Jinsongchu, this refers to the attitude of the Special Administrative Region towards immigration. Xishuimen has now become the only refugee management base in the Special Administrative Region. The entire Special Administrative Region is closed by barbed wire and big willow trees. Among the dozens of entrances and exits, only Xishuimen has the right to manage household registration.

In other words, refugees and disaster victims from the Qing Dynasty can only enter and exit from here. All the Qing people who want to come to the SAR to make a living have only two options if they want to work in the SAR.

The first type of person has a mobile household registration that is changed every three years. This type of person can not cut his braids. After entering the special zone, the government generally coordinates the work. Some work in the special zone is to carry large bags, go to the steel factory to turn sand casting molds, or simply sweep the streets and dig trenches...

As long as you are willing to put in your strength, you will not starve to death and you can save 70 or 80 silver dollars a year. You will be envious of all the ten miles and eighty silver dollars when you return to your hometown during the Chinese New Year.

But you will never raise idle people. If you are healthy and beg for food, beg for food, scoundrels, and lie on the street to bask in the sun and catch lice, don’t blame the military and police for being black. You can expel them with a whip.

The second type of people are people who cannot survive in the Qing Dynasty or are bullied by corrupt officials, bandits and bullies in the Qing Dynasty. They choose to immigrate to the Chinese, that is, they declare politically that they have divorced from the Qing Dynasty's nationality and become the lowest-class immigrants of the Chinese people.

The Chinese Code stipulates not only six titles and eighteen levels, but also divides the people without titles into third-class levels. The first class belongs to immigrants. These people moved from other cultural circles and need time to understand the Chinese laws and Chinese values.

Such people are immigrants, and immigrants have basic human rights and the law also provides protection to them. However, these people have no political rights, cannot participate in various elections, cannot join the army, and cannot enjoy free compulsory education. Only paid education is available.

In addition, there are two prerequisites for immigration, one is to cut the braids, and the other is that the female family in the family must put their feet on. This is an iron rule and no one can make it special.

This is the very strict immigration policy of the Special Administrative Region and the fundamental reason why the criticism in Xishuimen is shocking. Yan Jin and Songchu said that if you want to enter the Special Administrative Region, you must accept very strict rules, but it is very simple to relax. If you do not abide by the rules, you will be easy and simple.

It is under the influence of this policy that immigrants who can stay in the SAR are very conscious of the rules. It is precisely because they understand the rules that they can integrate well into the life of the SAR. All factories need such workers who understand the rules.

That’s right. After the modern industrial revolution, human beings have to learn to deal with machinery. Machinery is different from farmland. Machinery is cold and ruthless. You will almost scrap parts worth millions, or have serious accidents or even be in danger of life.

Those farmers in the Qing Dynasty who looked at the weather for food, who did some work when they were happy today, went to bed when they were unhappy tomorrow, or simply dragged a broken bowl to beg for food and were living as they pleased. Such people were completely unable to deal with machinery, and they could not adapt to the era of industrialization at all.

"Oh, it's so wasteful to pour a bucket of oil and lubricate it. It's quite tiring. You can pour half a bucket..."

"Hi... the car is half a millimeter away, what do you mean by me? I'm not even half a millimeter away from farming in my hometown, and I'll get food in autumn..."

This kind of remark is said to have vomited blood for countless American and Prussian engineers, and even this joke has gone to Europe. The Times once made a news page specifically to joke about Xiao Lotte, the Special Administrative Region.

The immigration management policy of Yan Jinsongyu is really a last resort, but at the same time, Tanggu also implements a system of high salaries to retain talents. As long as you understand the rules, are willing to accept management, and do not be careless in your work, the rewards you get will definitely be huge that you can't imagine.

Nothing is worth eating meat every meal. You can drink two taels of good wine every meal. It is decent to send a lot of money to your hometown during the Chinese New Year.

If you are young and have a high understanding, and are willing to learn words, that's great! If you want foreign engineers to value it, you will be promoted to be a blue-collar work clothes with a blue-collar worker, and then the lowest income will be 15 silver dollars a month.

One month's income is enough for a family in my hometown to eat food for one year. What a high salary!

In short, Tanggu has become the dream place for countless Qing Dynasty immigrants, and it is also a sad place... Among these sad people, there is a very familiar figure of Xiao Letian, Qing Sanye.
