Chapter 1065 A City Full of Gold

Old Stewart is a villager in Luluo Village on the outskirts of Bein. His family has been working diligently on the land for generations.

Old Stuart was good at farming, so he could barely support his family. Sometimes he would also help the villagers. Although his life was tight, it was still manageable.

Later, after His Majesty Tang En took office, he made several tax cuts, especially the policy of reducing agricultural taxes, which greatly increased the income of farmers and finally gave them hope for life.

Many people have become rich, and the villagers are extremely grateful to His Majesty Tang En. However, the old Stewart family has still not changed much. Instead, due to rising prices, life has become more and more difficult because he has too many children.

Although his eldest son (18 years old) and eldest daughter (15 years old) have grown up and work as bricklayers and carpenters in the village to help support the family, it is still not enough. His second daughter (13 years old) ) and the second son (9 years old) are still too young, so they can only earn some money by selling vegetables and delivering newspapers in the village. The younger son is only 3 years old and doesn’t know anything.

Given his family's situation, it was simply impossible to feed so many children, but what could he do?

In an era when entertainment options are so scarce, the only way to have fun after dinner in the evening is to have sex and create a human being. He accidentally did it, and he was very desperate!

He could only work harder to make money. After farming, he went to the village blacksmith to help make some small things. It is said that these gadgets are now very popular in Bein. His craftsmanship is pretty good, so the old blacksmith has been Willing to hire him.

The reward for a day's work at the old blacksmith's shop is 10 silver, which means that you can earn an extra income of more than 3 gold a month. This was an unimaginable and generous reward in the past, but now that prices are gradually rising, this income is also Stretched.

"Didi!"

The sudden sound frightened old Stewart who was in a daze at the entrance of the village. He looked back and found a beautiful metal box parked there.

He recognized that thing. The people in Bein said that thing was called a magic car. It was very expensive and a means of transportation that only rich people could afford. Moreover, the small parts he forged at the old blacksmith were said to be used to repair magic cars. For cars.

"Hey! Old man! What are you doing!"

Hearing this voice, Old Stewart's eyes widened. When he looked carefully, he was startled: "Holt!?"

"Haha! Of course it's me!"

Holt got out of the car, walked up to Old Stewart triumphantly and said, "How do I look?"

Old Stewart looked Holt up and down, shocked and speechless.

That's because Holt was his former neighbor and also a farmer, but now, old Stewart couldn't believe it was Holt himself.

Because his clothes were so clean, so solemn, and so luxurious that Old Stewart even felt that Holt was as dazzling as a noble gentleman!

Old Stewart said honestly: "It's like a noble gentleman. You can't really become a noble gentleman, right?"

"how come!"

Holt laughed out loud and said: "But my life now should be better than that of the noble master before."

Old Stewart took a breath: "Did you really get rich there?"

Holt smiled proudly, pointed at the magic car and said, "What do you think?"

At the beginning of the year, people in Luluo Village heard that someone was recruiting workers in Bein. The place they were going to was Ellington. It was best to go there with the whole family. At that time, several families left the village one after another, including Holt. A family, but old Stuart was not moved.

Because he can't afford to gamble, his wife and children are all counting on him to survive. Now the situation at home is just a little bit better. With a little savings, he sees hope in life. If he wants to move his family, It means everything has to start from scratch.

The family burden was so heavy that it was impossible for the elder Stuart to make such a decisive decision to move his family.

“You have no idea what an amazing city Ellington is!”

Holt said with a sigh: "Looking back at the beginning of the year, I couldn't imagine that I could live this kind of life now!"

Holt invited Old Stuart to get in the car and go home together, but Old Stuart did not dare. He was too dirty and was afraid of staining his seats.

"What are you afraid of!"

Holt curled his lips and said, "Just wash it after it gets dirty. This thing is just a means of transportation. If you make money in the future, you can change it to a better one!"

"Isn't that good enough?"

"What a good thing! Mine is just the cheapest Daming. It's at a discounted price for events. After paying taxes and paying the license, the full payment is only over 900 gold."

More than nine hundred gold! That’s all!

Old Stewart was shocked again: "How rich are you now?"

"So-so, I still have tens of thousands of gold, but it's a pity that Datang can't afford it."

Although he spoke carelessly, Holt's face was full of pride.

Ten or twenty thousand gold!

Old Stewart looked in disbelief: "What on earth have you done?"

How could you make so much money in one year without robbing your house? ?

"It's just my luck, haha, get in the car and I'll tell you."

After Old Stewart got into the car, Holt began to show off to him his experiences after leaving Green Rose Village.

Holt was indeed very lucky. He happened to catch up with the most critical period of Ellington's rapid development. During that time, Tang En and Fiona were worried about labor shortages all day long, and Holt happened to be in this period. The time came for Ellington.

After simple training, he was assigned to work as an assembly line worker in the workshop of Datang Heavy Industry, living a simple life of three points and one line every day.

If this were the case, according to the welfare package of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, he could save about several thousand gold in a year without eating or drinking.

However, looking at the good lives of those outside, Holt was not satisfied.

He found that although the overall process of Datang Heavy Industry was complicated, some parts were not difficult. He heard that the Datang Chamber of Commerce was still supporting some small chambers of commerce and supporting employees to start their own businesses, so after observing carefully for a while, he began to try to do it himself. Some parts, after success, he boldly ran to the supervisor and planned to contract part of the processing of this part.

The supervisor checked the parts he made and found that they were indeed qualified, so he applied to the superior. It happened that Tang En also mentioned supporting the development of the industrial chain, so Fiona didn't look carefully and just approved it casually. .

Although in terms of supportive policies, the Datang Chamber of Commerce used funds to invest in shares, occupying 51% of the new chamber of commerce's shares, the remaining 49% was still more than what he earned working in the workshop!

After that, Holt took the entrepreneurial support funds from the Finance Department of Datang Chamber of Commerce and began to boldly recruit people to start work. As a result, after all this busy work, he really made a career and even married another wife.

"...So I say, people must be bold and dare to do it, otherwise they may have to spend their whole lives digging in the ground."

After Holt summarized his feelings, he added: "I came back this time just to find you to do it with me!"

"Find me?"

"Yes, you have been helping the old blacksmith, and he has always praised you. The old blacksmith is old and can't stand the trouble, so you are the most suitable one."

Holt said: "I have more and more work there now, and I am already too busy. I have to find someone I can trust. If you come, give you a simple training, and I can give you a technical supervisor." , If you don’t say more than one month, I will at least give you this number!”

Looking at his five open fingers, Old Stewart said quietly: "Five gold? It's too little..."

"Old man! You are looking down on me! Would I treat our family's savior like this!?"

Holt's eyes widened. During the famine, he had been saved by Old Stuart and his family's lives: "If I gave 5 gold to the workers' monthly salary, let alone the workers being unwilling, the Datang Chamber of Commerce would probably come to me." Trouble! Do you know what Ellington’s minimum monthly living standard is now? 50 gold!”

"50 gold? That's not bad..."

"I'll give you ten times that amount! 500 gold!"

Holt said proudly: "Old man! As long as you are willing to work with me, you will only earn more than this in the future!"

500 gold!

One month!

Old Stewart was stunned by this number.

"Old man, listen to me and stop digging in the soil. Let me tell you an inside story. Starting from spring planting next year, our country will fully implement agricultural mechanization. One person can cultivate more land than a thousand people. A lot! What do you think you can do if you continue to farm like this?"

"I know you don't have much savings at home. To show my sincerity, here, this is the travel expenses I have prepared for you! Listen to me, your whole family can move here!"

Old Stewart took the wad of brand-new banknotes and returned home in a daze.

Looking at the faces, big and small, in the dim room, he felt sad, stamped his feet, and finally made a decision!

…

The intercity bus drove smoothly into the passenger transportation center on the outskirts of Ellington and stopped slowly.

"Ellington has arrived. Please line up and get off the bus in an orderly manner. Passengers with luggage please take out your salute as soon as possible. Please also take your ticket and go to the exit for verification."

Here we are...

Ellington, this city full of gold...

After getting off the bus, Old Stewart looked at Ellington not far away, and patted his cheek with trembling hands. He had risked everything. Whether he could survive depends on whether this city is as magical as the legend says.

"Dear, will Holt really give you that much salary..."

Standing next to Stewart Sr. was his wife, and behind them were five children of various sizes.

Before Old Stewart could speak, a young beauty wearing a "Disciplinary Committee" armband suddenly ran over with surprise on her face and asked, "Are you new here?"

He nodded blankly.

"This is your wife and...five children?"

Old Stewart nodded nervously: "Yes...what's wrong?"

Looking at the five children every night, their faces were full of surprise, as if they couldn't believe that they could complete this arduous task so easily!
