    Early the next morning, Huo Lingzhi set off early, and it was Luo Zining who helped him into the carriage himself. Seeing Huo Lingzhi go out, he felt quite reluctant.

    Obviously it was just a few days without seeing each other, but he felt so uncomfortable, his heart was blocked, and he even wanted to cry.

    Huo Lingzhi saw his red eye circles, and took his hand: "Don't cry, I'll be fine."

    "Who is crying, I am, my mood right now is..." Luo Zining stammered for a long time, and finally his brain convulsed, and he patted Huo Lingzhi's hand and said, "My son travels thousands of miles and mother is worried."

    Huo Lingzhi: "..."

    Luo Zining blushed after finishing speaking, "I'm not saying I'm your mother, I mean almost the same thing. Seeing that my relatives are going away, I feel worried and reluctant."

    "Understood." Huo Lingzhi raised his hand and pinched his face, "If you are worried, I will send a letter every day to report that you are safe."

    "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, it's too tiring." Luo Zining pondered for a while: "We should also raise some carrier pigeons, so that in the future when we encounter such a situation, we can fly pigeons to pass letters."

    "Okay, I'll follow your arrangement." Huo Lingzhi put down the curtain and let the driver drive away.

    Luo Zining stood at the door and looked at it for a long time. After he crossed over, it seemed that he had never been separated from Huo Lingzhi, let alone such a long distance, even if he had no chance to sleep in a separate room.

    He felt very uncomfortable. This kind of discomfort seemed familiar. When he was in college, every time he went to the airport or train station, he would miss his parents and sisters at home, and he would feel very uncomfortable.

    He sighed, "It seems that I really regard Huo Lingzhi as my family. This is family affection. This must be family affection."

    After Luo Zining finished speaking, he looked into the distance for a few more times, then reluctantly went back, and continued to discuss the details of the wedding with Chen Er.

    They decided to hold their wedding in the open space behind the factory, with a platform in front for the couple to pay their respects to, and a flowing water banquet for the wedding banquet below.

    After the newcomers pay homage on the stage, the stage can also sing for everyone to enliven the atmosphere.

    A long time ago, Luo Zining asked Boss Cheng to ask someone to find some duo duo artists to come over and perform for them when they got married.

    In the end, Boss Cheng hadn't heard of Errenzhuan, so Luo Zining thought, isn't this the Northeast?How could there not be?But after he thought about it carefully, this is an overhead world. Apart from the fact that the temperature in this city is relatively northeast, they don't even speak northeast dialect.

    He didn't care about it before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, besides this city, he has also come into contact with businessmen from other places, from all over the world, but everyone speaks Mandarin, not even a dialect.

    He was a little disappointed and asked Boss Cheng if there were any operas here, please come over to have a good time.

    He was very afraid that there were no singers in this world, how boring life would be like this.

    Boss Cheng mentioned the names of several operas. He had heard some famous opera titles, but he hadn't heard of one with local characteristics. Later, Boss Cheng sang a few lines to him.Isn't it just the taste of Errenzhuan, it's just a name change.

    Luo Zining asked Boss Cheng to invite more people from the outside, so that they can be incorporated into the factory's regular employees. In the future, there will be festivals, or performances at night or on rest days, so as to provide more entertainment for the workers and make everyone's life more interesting..

    Boss Cheng nodded quickly, they are too poor here, no one wants to come to their performance, there is not even a juggler on the road, life is very boring, since the princess paid for him to invite people to sing, he can also listen to it,Naturally happy.

    "Then share the house?" Boss Cheng asked.

    "Separate them into dormitories. As for whether to divide them into houses or not, just like other out-of-town employees, we will inspect them for three years and see how they perform after three years," Luo Zining said.

    This wedding was very lively, one hundred couples, because workers from three factories got married, people from all three factories came, and there were five thousand newly recruited people, seven or eight thousand people gathered together, plus gongs and drums, suona, and firecrackers, everyone on the scene shouted at the top of their voices.

    Luo Zining prepared a lot of big round tables in advance, each table can seat about 20 people, and now there are hundreds of tables.

    The meals at each table are the same, and no one will be treated differently because of who is new and who is later, or who is in a higher position and who is in a lower position.

    The new employees participated in the wedding, looked at the groom on stage, and were very envious. I heard that these were arranged by the princess. They will have a chance to stay in the future. They are more motivated. Who would have thought that they would come hereThey lived like livestock before, and they suspected that they had come to the fairyland.

    A month or two ago, those new workers were attracted by Er Niu's recruitment skills in their hometown, and they came here as soon as their brains became hot, but when they were walking halfway, many people retreated a little bit, and they suddenlySober, I feel that I have been fooled by others. When I get there, I can eat and wear warm clothes, live in a dormitory, have rest days, and get such a high salary. No matter how I sound, I sound like a liar.Take care of three meals, what dream do you have?

    Wouldn't it be to trick them into selling them as slaves?Won't you give them money?They want to run but dare not run, and even if they run back, what can they do?In the past, they lived in shacks, ate pig food, and worked day and night every day. They used to be coolies. Wherever they went, they were not coolies. At least they followed them.Go back, but you will be hungry.

    These people have never traveled far, have no one to guide them, they are easy to get lost, and they are also easy to be attacked by wild animals or robbed by bandits.

    If they went there, they might just suffer as coolies, but if they went back, they would face the danger of starving to death, being killed by bandits and eaten by wild animals.

    On the first day of their arrival, they were led to a large courtyard by the team leader who brought them here. There are rows of houses in this large courtyard.There was a big table with toiletries on it. Although the room was not big, it was a hundred times better than their previous dirty shack with air leaks everywhere.

    The team leader distributed quilts and daily necessities to them, and took them to take a bath. The team leader said that there is a special bathhouse here. There is a big pool in the bathhouse, and there is hot water in the pool. It is open once a week, so you can come here to take a bath.

    Although the bathing conditions here are much worse, it takes manpower and material resources to boil water and clean it. The conditions of the brick factory are also among the factories all over the country. Other factories can have a place to sleep and take care of a meal.It is a dream to boil hot water for a bath.

    These newcomers are afraid to go in to take a bath, they always feel that there is some kind of conspiracy here.

    Someone secretly said to fellow countrymen: "Isn't it because you want to wash us clean and eat stewed meat?"

    Everyone was terrified, but the person who brought them kept urging them to wash up quickly, and those who didn't obey the order should leave as soon as possible.

    If you leave, you will die. Who dares to leave, you can only accept your fate and go to take a bath.

    After taking a shower, the team leader showed them around the factory, and told them to settle here to work for the time being, and there will be other arrangements in the future.

    These people are still uneasy and don't know what their fate is. Could it be that they were tricked into being sold as slaves?

    Just thinking about it, the team leader took them to the cafeteria. It happened to be dinner time, and the other workers came to eat after work, and there was a lot of noise inside.

    Those workers are very strong, full of muscles, these newcomers are all skinny, long-term malnutrition, coupled with exhausting work, so that they have only a handful of bones left. Before they came, they thought that although they were thin,Younger, stronger than older ones.

    But now when they see workers who are as young and muscular as they are, they start to mutter in their hearts. Even if the employer is not a bad person who wants to eat their meat or sell them, the employer is really here to ask them to work, then the employerDo you think they are too thin, dislike them, and drive them away?

    Just when I was afraid, I heard the team leader take them in and line up: "From now on, you will come here to eat, the space in the cafeteria is limited, so you will come to eat in batches, and you will eat with whichever group you are assigned to."

    The team leader said to other workers: "These are new arrivals, you should take care of them in the future."

    The old workers were very enthusiastic: "Understood, in the future, if you don't understand anything, just ask us, and we will all be brothers in the future."

    The newcomers still had uneasy eyes, and they didn't dare to answer.

    The tables and chairs in this cafeteria can accommodate up to five or six hundred people. This time there are a total of five thousand newcomers, but not all of these five thousand people came today. They were divided into ten groups and led by ten team leaders., Take it in batches to take a bath, visit, and eat.

    The team leader brought them in, gave them their own rice bowls, asked them to line up to cook, and then found a place to sit. After eating, they went back to rest. They started working the next day and got used to it slowly.

    In the future, depending on their performance, they will be assigned to other factories. They also have wineries, textile factories, dyeing factories, medicinal materials factories, and some pig and chicken farms.

    They were dizzy when they heard it, but everyone was shocked when they ate, thinking that the wrong meal was served, how could there be dry food for this meal!And fresh vegetables, not rotten vegetable leaves?Wasn't leftovers mixed together?Is it a freshly fried dish?There is still meat in it?!

    They looked at each other in disbelief with the fellow villagers who came with them, and someone whispered, "Isn't it human flesh inside? Those workers just now grew so strong, could it be that they ate the flesh of foreigners like us?"

    "This looks like chicken. Although I have only eaten chicken once in my life, this taste is exactly the same!" One of the newcomers said in a low voice.

    "There are also scrambled eggs here. They can't be human flesh. Although I have never eaten eggs, I have seen others eat them." Another newcomer said in a low voice.

    "Look at the steamed buns, miscellaneous grains, such a big one, two for one person, and you can still get it if you don't have enough. It can't be human flesh, right? We might really come to a good place."

    "Of course." An old worker passed by, heard their conversation, leaned over and said very proudly: "This is all requested by the princess. Not only does our princess look like a fairy, but he also treats usVery good, take care of our food and drink, give us a place to live, and give us a rest day. I just love to have a meeting. Other places are simply Bodhisattvas. I decided that my ancestors will serve the princess for generations. If you come here, you are right..”

    These people were stunned when they heard this, "Have you seen the princess before?"

    Among these people, there are people from the countryside and big cities, and those who come from big cities also have princes on their side, but the princes on their side never care about the life and death of the people, and only care about enjoying themselves.To the prince, let alone the princess.

    "Of course I have. This brick factory belongs to the princess, but you are not so lucky. The princess said that there is a shortage of people in the brick factory recently, so she borrowed you. After that, you may be assigned to other factories. How is the treatment in other factories?"I don’t know, but I heard that if you perform well, you can stay.” The old worker patted them on the shoulder: “Boys, work hard and try to stay.”

    After hearing what he said, the newcomers were full of light in their eyes, thinking that they must perform desperately and strive to stay.

    As soon as the newcomers arrived, they started to move bricks first. Although they were tired, they got off work at two o’clock in the morning and two o’clock in the afternoon. heard that there would be overtime pay for overtime work. don’t know where to get it, can get it?Get it, they're all actively working overtime.

    But their team leader said that they are newcomers, so they can’t work overtime, and they have small arms and legs, so they should grow their bodies first before doing tiring work. The princess said that the body is the capital of the revolution.Exhaust people to death, let them go back to rest.

    These people were so stunned that they didn't whip them to work overtime and let them rest. They couldn't feel at ease eating in the cafeteria. They were afraid that the princess would be dissatisfied with them and drive them away.

    Then they saw the princess, who turned out to be a man!

    A man actually married another man. People would look down on such a thing, but they didn't dare to look down on the princess. They just looked down on the princess in their hearts, wondering if Luo Zining might be that kind of feminine man.

    Immediately afterwards they saw that although the princess had a gentle voice, she acted swiftly and decisively. She arranged who would do what, and the arrangements were clear. All the old employees listened to him, and no matter how big a man was, they were afraid of the princess.

    They secretly asked the old workers why they were so afraid of the princess, and why the princess didn't manage the back house in the palace, but came out to mix with men. Although the princess is also a man, since she is married, she shouldn't show her face like this.He should be like a man in the back house to care for his husband and teach his children.

    The words of the newcomers were despised by the old people. The former workers gave them some popular science. Let alone the princesses on their side, they said that their wives all work in the factory. The princess told them that all the workers here, regardless of genderThey are all equal, and both husband and wife come to work in the factory, the benefits are better, and they can be promoted. Who will make trouble with the benefits?

    Besides, the princess, he is capable, and he was the number one scholar before he married, how could he be trapped in the back house.

    The prince also loved the princess very much, and killed eighty people for her.

    In fact, eight people were killed at the gate, and then they passed it on and it became eighty people. The local people saw eight people with their own eyes, but then a group of workers came to the city, and then it became eighty people.

    The newcomers were all incredulous, "Eighty? The prince killed it alone? Really?"

    "Of course, my lord has been on the battlefield many times before. In the past, my lord can cut off the heads of thousands or eight hundred people in a single battle. The heads of these eighty people are not a problem at all." Then the old employees gave the newcomersHe exaggeratedly talked about Huo Lingzhi's previous titles, how many battles he fought, and how he must not be disrespectful to the princess, or his head would fall to the ground.

    These newcomers from other places are afraid, and they no longer dare to have those thoughts of contempt. Every time they see the princess, they are both respectful and afraid.

    They have been working here for several days, and they have been eating and drinking for several days. No one beats or scolds.If you get kicked out, you won't be hired in the future.

    These foreigners’ hometowns are far away, and the cost of returning home once is too high. When they left home, they made plans to return home again in three to five years. How dare they be lazy? If they are driven away, they don’t know what to dogo home.

    They were working hard, thinking that their days would be good enough, but they didn't expect that the next group wedding would shock their jaws.

    The princess really divided the house!Princess looking for a wife in person?!Get married and pay back?!Give money for giving birth?!

    They looked at the wives next to the hundred men on the stage. They had never seen so many beautiful women in their life!

    Also, the banquet was paid for by the concubine, with wine, meat and vegetables, which was much better than the wedding banquet at their house!

    It's just that the wedding method is wrong, why the bride doesn't cover her head, how decent is this.

    However, those from some villages are not so fussy. Their villages are poor, and their wives can’t afford red cloth as a hijab, and some red clothes can’t afford to sit on it.It's also okay to be seen by the neighbors.

    Those in the city feel uncomfortable. They have to cover their heads no matter what, and let others watch their wives' faces like this. How can that be done?

    While they were muttering, they heard the princess who was the witness of the marriage say on the stage that in the future, according to their rules, when two people get married, they will form their own small family.Cursing and calling, two people are equal people.

    When they heard this, they felt that something was wrong. Once a woman is married, she belongs to their family. Let alone beating and scolding at will, it's okay to beat her to death.

    Then they heard the princess say that those female workers are all his workers, and whoever dares to bully his workers is bullying him, and whoever makes his female workers unable to work and reduces the efficiency of his textile factory is his enemy.

    These words are gentle, but everyone can understand the meaning, whoever dares to bully the princess, is not waiting to lose his head!

    Before losing their heads, these new foreigners immediately threw away those feudal ideas.

    Besides, they couldn't find a wife at all before, and it would be great if they could find a wife. If they were the ones getting married on stage now, they would be so happy that the corners of their mouths would be happy.

    Luo Zining said many more festive congratulatory speeches, and after the chapel was over, he let the performers come on stage to sing.

    He sat under the stage and had fun with everyone. Although today is a happy day for others, he is also happy. This proves that his efforts over the past year have not been in vain. He has developed a poor city into what it is today. He is very happy.sense of accomplishment.

    Although he is very happy today, he still has a little regret. It would be great if Huo Lingzhi was by his side. Let Huo Lingzhi also see what he has done and know how powerful he is. He wants to hear Huo Lingzhipraise or admiration.

    But Huo Lingzhi went to the countryside and couldn't witness today with him.

    After the wedding, Luo Zining couldn't wait to go home and pack his luggage. He couldn't wait to find Huo Lingzhi.
