Chapter 298 Developing Liaodong

The latest issue of "Da Qin Daily" has once again plunged the people into a sensation.

The people rushed to circulate the news above and started talking about it.

"After the great development of Jiangnan, is Daqin now going to start the great development of Liaodong?"

"The place in Liaodong is great, but it's too cold. When winter comes, you can't even think about going out. Frostbites on your hands and feet are minor, and it's said that your ears and nose have been frozen off."

"Isn't that right? I heard that if you go out to relieve yourself over there, you have to hit it with a stick!"

"What you are talking about is from the past. What era is it now? Your information is already out of date."

"Liaodong was severely affected by the heavy snowfall last year. Because of timely disaster relief, there were no major casualties!"

"This year the imperial court has re-planned Liaodong and its surrounding areas and started building houses using a new material called cement!"

"This kind of house, coupled with the fire pit, is extremely warm."

"Even when I go out, there are woolen sweaters and cotton-padded clothes that have just been launched, so the cold is no longer scary."

"As long as you apply to move to Liaodong now, the imperial court will give you a housing subsidy so that you can live in a warm new house before it really snows, and it will still be in the city!"

"The newspaper also said that the imperial court will build many new water conservancy workshops in Liaodong to specialize in the production of these cotton sweaters. Hundreds of thousands of workers will be provided by then, and even women can earn a good income by knitting sweaters!

"

"And the government schools and medical clinics will keep up, and they won't be any worse than other places!"

The common people discussed happily one by one, with surprise on their faces.

Just a few years ago, everyone was still worrying about how to have enough food to survive the heavy labor.

Unexpectedly, just a few years later, they would be experiencing unprecedented good times.

Not only can you eat easily, but as long as you have the strength to endure hardships, you can get good profits whether you go to coal, iron ore and other workshops, or to build roads or bridges in court projects.

If you are willing to put your mind into literacy and learn a few crafts, your wages can be increased several times.

Originally, there was basically nothing on the dining tables of many Da Qin people except a bowl of extremely thin rice porridge and a plate of wild vegetables.

But now they can not only eat enough, but also occasionally improve their food and eat some meat.

During the holidays, they can even enjoy seafood that they never dared to dream of before.

Those whose families have more labor and higher incomes are no longer able to afford food and clothing, so they are beginning to consider demolishing their old house and building a bigger and more beautiful one.

Those who are more discerning may even put it all together and plan to buy a new-style house in a county town so that they can enjoy better education and medical resources as a city dweller.

My generation has suffered enough, and now that I finally have the opportunity, I naturally want my children to suffer less in the future.

Today's people in the Qin Dynasty have long realized the importance of reading and literacy.

If you study well, you can participate in the recruitment examinations of various departments of the imperial court. Once you succeed, you will really start to eat the royal food and become an official family that is envied by everyone.

Those who are not suitable for being an official can also study science, engineering, tools, etc.

As long as you achieve something small, you will be competed by major workshops after graduation, and those with high incomes are simply enviable.

If you can truly achieve success as a craftsman, you can enter the Daqin Academy of Science and Technology and enjoy official benefits.

No matter how unlucky it is, as long as you can graduate and work as a craftsman in a workshop, it will be much better than farming.

Even coolie workers who are literate earn more basic wages, improve their abilities faster, and earn higher incomes.

Moreover, the medical clinics in the city have better doctors, making it easier to see a doctor.

Education and medical care have gradually entered the scope of consideration for the people of Qin.

But if you really want to move your family into the city, the cost is quite high.

Even if many people can barely scrape it together, they will be reluctant to give up.

However, the generous conditions provided by the current Liaodong development have made many people tempted.

After moving to Liaodong, the imperial court not only provided housing subsidies, but also gave priority to job opportunities, and women could also make money by knitting sweaters.

Not only can this save a lot of money, it can even increase your income.

In addition, medical education could be guaranteed, so people began to make plans one after another.

Even in the Jiangnan area, many people are excited.

After all, although Jiangnan's overall economy is pretty good, its prospects are excellent.

However, due to the large number of people and conservative concepts, many people still missed the opportunity.

A typical example is Yuxi Village in Yanji, Shuyang.

This is one of the most conservative areas in the entire south of the Yangtze River. Many of the people in the village are refugees who fled when the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Chu Kingdom, so they are innately resistant to the Qin Dynasty.

When the court wanted the remnants of the Xiang clan, the whole of Shuyang was in panic for a long time, because many of them were indeed related to the descendants of the old Chu.

However, with the development of Jiangnan, many people in Shuyang gradually changed their minds.

After all, the benefits given by the Great Qin court today are all real, and they are much better than the Chu State in the past.

For most people, nothing is more important than having enough food and clothing for the family.

Therefore, people in Shuyang gradually joined the imperial project and brought back generous wages.

The number of students in the schools in the county gradually increased.

Only Yuxi Village has remained unique.

People in the village would rather build their own private schools and hire teachers than send their children to free government schools.

The imperial bulletin boards and commentators, which were very popular in every township and pavilion, also received a cold reception in Yuxi Village.

Of course, not everyone adheres to corrupt ideas all the time.

Some young people's ideas have gradually changed.

Among them was a girl with bright eyes and white teeth who lived in the largest house in Yuxi Village.

"I don't know how my eldest brother is doing in Xianyang City. Whether he successfully joined the army. If the people above know that he has an intersection with the Xiang family, I don't know if it will be difficult for him."

"And the Xiang clan are not good people either. They used to bully the villagers a lot."

"Since the Xiang clan disappeared from Sishui County, life has gotten much better!"

"Nowadays, even remote Liaodong has begun to develop greatly, but the Yuxi side is still a stagnant water!"

"No matter, if you stay here any longer, this girl will be driven crazy sooner or later."

The girl tore the petals in her hands while muttering angrily.

At this moment, the girl suddenly saw a familiar figure from the window, and her eyebrows suddenly furrowed even tighter.

"Isn't this guy here to propose marriage again? I'm so annoyed!"

"How could this girl like this kind of person?"

"No, I can't stay in this place anymore!"

"Why don't you just go to Xianyang City to find your brother? Maybe you can see His Highness the Crown Prince."
