Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    People on the European continent, no matter which vassal state they belong to, will lose hope and vision for the future because of the hardship or hardship of life.

    If you were a person who lived in the early seventeenth century, then you would know that the most common expressions on the faces of Europeans in this era were numbness, indifference, and the kind of expression that was extremely rigid.

    Because they have suffered endless suffering in their lives and have no expectations for the future.  Therefore, they are all living like walking zombies, how can they have too many expressions.

    Therefore, Jenny was most curious about the looks on the faces of the people working in the concession.

    ¡°Furthermore, the Europeans living in Manhattan in America were originally numb and indifferent.  But since they went to Manhattan, they have also undergone great changes.

    This change is their own momentum.

    That kind of confidence and expectations for future life are completely impossible to fake.

    This kind of feeling that comes from the heart can be seen through at a glance and can be truly felt.

    Therefore, it is not surprising that Jenny would have such an idea.

    However, there was nothing wrong with what she thought.

    Judging from the current situation, it seems that after getting involved with the Song Empire, people will indeed undergo earth-shaking changes.

    This change is very obvious and elusive.

    It is impossible to say what the people of the Song Empire did.

    ¡°However, people have changed.

    What is the actual cause?

    ??Jenny hasn¡¯t delved into this reason yet.

    However, even if she inquired, she would not be able to understand the reason so quickly.

    After all, this matter is still difficult to understand based on her thinking and knowledge.

    Only Zhao Hongyu and the others will know.

    To put it bluntly, the factor that causes people to change their self-confidence is very simple, which is to allow them to live a good life, to be full of energy when they wake up every morning, to maintain the 'fairness' of society, and to let them know that they can live a good life through their own actions.  Hard work can completely change the hardships and lead a better life.

    Only in this way will they be full of longing and hope for the future.

    And to do this is actually not difficult at all.

    It¡¯s just that the noble lords on the European continent will not notice this at all.

    Not to mention the European nobles and lords, even the officials of the Eastern Ming Empire rarely pay attention to such issues.

    Throughout this era of the early 17th century, only Zhao Hongyu and others from the American Song Empire paid attention to people's livelihood issues and treated them as a major issue.

    The man who was asked the question by Jenny pondered for a while, and then he answered her: "We are very energetic because we are well fed. After all, we are not deducted from wages when we work here, and we can also buy cheap half-price food."  , and even have enough money to buy cheap meat and side products, so our life is pretty good, much better than the other workers in Marseille."

    After saying that, the man laughed sheepishly.

    "You also know that when people have a full stomach, they will be more energetic."

    Dare to love, the man blamed himself with such a spiritual reason, and he was on his stomach.

    "However, you can't say that his answer is wrong.

    In fact, his answer still makes sense, but it is not completely correct, but only partially correct.

    The man continued: "For people working in Marseille Port, their wages are always deducted, and they are also oppressed by some trade unions. So the wages they get are almost not much. At the same time, the price of food is very high now, and they work a day.  Down here, you can¡¯t buy much food at all, so they have no hope for life, so it¡¯s normal for them to be different from us.¡±

    It¡¯s also thanks to the fact that this man is a bit older and has rich life experience.

    Otherwise, it is really impossible for him to answer Jenny¡¯s question.

    After all, this man¡¯s answer is quite accurate.

    "We are different. There is no oppression here. As long as you work hard, you can get a lot of wages. Apart from being tired, there are no other problems. So after I get up every morning, I feel full of strength. According to  Those plumbers said it as if I was going to make a difference in my future life, so they were full of hope."

    The man broughtSome were not sure, and some spoke shyly.

    "Actually, I don't know what it means to be full of hope for the future life, but I do understand that my current life is very happy and I am very satisfied. And I hope to always work here in the concession, because working here can bring  My family is prosperous and I am willing to work hard."

    The man¡¯s face began to glow with luster, and it could be seen that he was really as he said, and he was very satisfied with this kind of life.

    "Forget anything else, just imagine what kind of life I lived before. Then look at what kind of life I live now and what kind of life I bring to my family. Through my own efforts, I can completely make my family happy.  My life has become easier. And these are all brought to me and my family by working in the concession. Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that people in the Song Empire are very fair. What they believe here is that you can do whatever you do.  The more you do the more you get paid."

    After speaking, the man raised his right arm and made a very 'strong' posture.

    "Like many people, I am not afraid of doing things, nor of hard work. What we are afraid of is not getting paid for what we do, and being bullied. Fortunately, now that I am working here, I don¡¯t have to worry about these things at all. I am very happy.  ."

    By now, Jenny and the man had been chatting for more than ten minutes.

    And after hearing this, Jenny also roughly understood some things.

    "Thank you for saying so much to me. I'm really sorry for wasting your time. I hope my presence here will not affect your work. Here are some small thanks, please don't refuse."

    Jenny knew that because of her relationship, this man had been delayed for a while.

    She doesn¡¯t want to affect the other person¡¯s work process and cause unnecessary trouble to him because of her relationship.

    Because she could see that the man valued this job very much.

    After saying that, Jenny took out a shining silver Song Empire Dalongyang silver coin from her robe and handed it over, and forced it into the other party's hand. No matter how hard the other party pushed her, she let the other party accept it.

    ¡°Again, I apologize for bothering you and wasting your time. Small compensation is not respectful. If your plumber is in trouble because of this matter, just come to me and I will give him an explanation.¡±

    A big dragon ocean can buy fifty kilograms of rice in the concession, which is a lot of money.

    This man was extremely excited and thanked Jenny without any words.

    After all, this can be regarded as making him a small fortune, so how could he not be excited.

    After another conversation, the man left Jenny.

    Jenny walked back to the tent.

    "How's it going? Did you get the answer you wanted?"

    Ruth had been standing at the door of the tent. When Jenny came back, he asked.

    "It's okay. Although I don't know if it's accurate or not, I seem to have gotten some answers. I also have some guesses about many things, so it's not in vain."

    Jenny shrugged her shoulders and answered Ruth.

    "How's it going? Did the administrator's secretary get the intelligence document?" Jenny asked after answering Ruth.  Hearing this, Ruth shook his head and said, "Not yet. There are probably too many documents. He will need to look for it for a while."

    He shrugged helplessly.

    "go in."

    Jenny walked straight into the tent and decided to wait for the intelligence documents in the tent.

    Anyway, she already knew what she was curious about in the concession, so there was no need to continue outside.

    The concession administrator in the tent is still busy processing various documents and things.

    There were constantly Chinese staff coming in and out of the concession, and they brought a lot of trade goods agreements for him to sign.

    It can also be seen from this point that trade in the concession is still very prosperous.

    And many ships have docked at the port of the concession, and a large amount of cargo has been unloaded.

    These goods were all shipped from the Americas, and the ships transported were all hired Arab sea-going ships, or European sea-going ships.

    These merchants had nothing to disagree with about helping the Song Empire transport goods.

    After all, the price offered by the Song Empire was very high, so it was impossible for them to refuse.

    ¡° Moreover, this is still an opportunity to deal with the Song Empire, and they will not miss it.

    ¡°Besides, these businessmen came from AmericaIf you buy grain and ship it, you may not necessarily be able to fill the entire cabin of the ship. There will always be a lot of cabin space left.

    Rather than leaving the cabins so empty, it¡¯s better to fill up these spaces and make use of them.

    In this way, you can still make some more money, so why not do it?

    Moreover, a large part of the grain they purchased from the Americas could be unloaded at the concession port and transported out of the concession.

    By doing this, you can also reduce some of the costs, which is a very cost-effective thing.

    Therefore, the supply of goods in the concession is guaranteed.

    Unlike Lisbon, the main products sold in Marseille Port are women's hygiene products, the Thirteen Fragrance Series, and some daily condiments.

    The products in Lisbon are more for daily use, so there is no conflict in the products between the two concessions.

    The concession in Cairo, Egypt, is for African chiefs and Alapa chiefs, so it tends to sell condiments and some cold weapons and iron products.

    You know, the Arab world is short of iron raw materials and various ores.

    So, this business is very easy to do.

    At the same time, from the concession in Cairo, commodities such as war horses and live sheep can be purchased at very cheap prices, and then transported back to the Americas for processing or breeding.

    Therefore, these three concessions were established far away from America, and trade was very prosperous.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
