Touch of Riches Chapter 120

Xiaocheng is a peculiar city with extremely abnormal development. In a few decades, it will definitely be a seriously polluted place. Because as early as this era, a very large factory area has been built on the edge of the city.

These factories are comparable to the large British factories in the early 20th century. The only advantage is that they are far away from the urban areas and have formed satellite towns where workers gather around them. They are different from the slums in the city and are shrouded in black smoke and darkness every day.

This is the lifeline that ensures that the entire Xiaocheng maintains its advanced urban economic level. The steel mills, power plants, machinery plants, and various factories form a steel forest that makes loud noises day and night. The narrow streets are filled with the unique rusty smell of the industrial age, heavy and eerie, as well as a sense of decadence caused by humans' wanton consumption of resources.

The pedestrians on the road were all in a hurry, and occasionally rough workers wearing dirty overalls could be seen. The entire factory area was either the assets of the Xiao family or the Yao family, but these nobles almost never came to such a place, and they hired special personnel to manage this place.

The industrialization of Xiaocheng has brought about a crazy population growth. Although the factories have absorbed a large number of workers, there are still many slums and unemployed people in the city, and these scenes can only be seen in such areas.
