The refrigerator is not a rare thing, in Sijiu City, this thing is also called an ice bucket, and the royal family uses all kinds of gold-inlaid jade enamel, and even cloisonné shells, and the general minister's house is made of ordinary hardwood, which does not affect the use.

Every winter, there are ice miners in Beijing's major seas, especially the royal one, who take down the ice from Beihai, Zhongnanhai, Guanzi River, moat and even Kunming Lake, and then transport it to ice cellars all over the capital to store it, and then wait until summer to take it out and enjoy it.

This is the Ming and Qing dynasties of the winter continuous important affairs, in the east side of Qianmen Street now there is an alley called the ice cellar factory alley, is because there is an ice cellar there and got the name.

In the era when the modern refrigerator was not born, it was definitely a status symbol to be able to use ice in summer, and the ice collected in the north was stored in the ice cellar, while the ice used in the south was mostly made of saltpeter, for example, the ice cubes used by Xiao Lotian in the Ryukyus were made entirely by the principle that saltpeter was dissolved in water to absorb heat, so the cost was higher.

Fan Ru can go out with an ice bucket, and his luxury can also be seen on the side, following Xiao Letian, a cheap uncle, this old man is really hitchhiking.

After a few bowls of chilled sour plum soup, the old platoon leader breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked his subordinates to take the housekeeper of Fan's Mansion to go through the formalities, and he and Fan Ru sat in the shade of the big willow tree, and then talked about what they had just said.

The old platoon commander stretched out his hand and pointed to the people who were being expelled from the West Water Gate and said, "These people are the second trouble in the Special Administrative Region, they are the displaced people......

In the ancient agrarian society, people relied on the sky for food, and people's livelihood was completely concentrated on a few acres of thin fields, and the ability to resist natural disasters was very weak.

In fact, displaced people do not necessarily have to wait for those national disasters and famines to occur, in fact, there are many displaced people in normal good years.

Corrupt officials and corrupt officials annexed land, and their children and grandchildren ate, drank, prostituted, and gambled, and even became destitute because of serious illness...... All these things will result in a large number of people who have lost their land and are destitute.

This is what the jobless homeless are talking about, the fixed family business is completely gone, and not everyone can live by being a tenant, so let's be a homeless person with a ruthless heart.

Those who should take refuge in relatives and friends can find relatives and friends, and those who want to break into the Kanto region can also take the risk and give it a try, and even in the south, there are people who go to sea to be pigs and bandits who go to the mountains, anyway, people have to live.

Where is the life of Zhili good now? The blind can see that of course it is the Tanggu Special Economic Zone, this county has become a golden country in the eyes of the people, to be honest, you can get half a string of copper coins a day to ask for food here, what is this not heaven?

At first, sporadic homeless people gathered in Tanggu, and there were only twenty or thirty families a day, and they hid outside the willow wall and waited for those recruitment quotas with limited quotas, because only when there were merchants inside who asked for it by name and gave the employment indicators, they could enter the willow wall.

However, the officials of the SAR suddenly discovered that this group of displaced people is completely different from the people outside the surrounding willow wall, and the people outside the willow wall are after all local people, and if you are expelled from the village, they will also have a home to live in, and a few acres of land to live.

And these people are refugees who have lost their homes, if you don't let them in, they will have to sleep in the wilderness, how cold it is in the north in winter, and it will be miserable to scold a group of prime ministers if they really freeze to death.

Therefore, once the homeless people are registered, they are allowed to live in the willow walls. As soon as you enter the Ryukyu army, they will send you some basic rations, and you will also be allowed to build a straw hut, at least a place to stay.

"Master Fan, is this benevolent government? This is our great benevolent government! But what happened later became more and more out of tune...... The old platoon commander sighed, picked up a piece of ice from the ice box, threw it in his mouth, and chewed it with a clatter.

In the beginning, the SEZ accepted more than a dozen homeless households a day, but as time went on, there were more and more displaced people, more than 30 or 50 households a day, and now hundreds of homeless families can gather here every day.

In fact, Xiao Letian and the others also understand that this is the cautious eyes of those officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the displaced people have been a factor of local instability since ancient times, and it is not a political achievement if they do a good job, and they can all be pushed to the Special Administrative Region, won't they be much more stable under their rule?

Therefore, under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, the attractiveness of the Tanggu Special Economic Zone is getting bigger and bigger.

However, they never expected that these displaced people would later bring such a big trouble, causing the entire SAR a headache.

First of all, these destitute peasant households do not know what it means to abide by the rules, and unlike the people around Tanggu, they have already completed the run-in with the special zone in a few years. The people around Tanggu know that in the Special Economic Zone, you can't defecate in the open, you can't throw garbage, you can't even spit, and you have to follow the flow of people and keep to the right side when walking.

Moreover, the people here know that the welfare of the special zone is good, but the military management is also very strict, and petty theft and begging are absolutely prohibited. If you are thirsty, there are fountains on the street to provide you with clean water, and if you are hungry, you can ask any soldier to apply for relief, and naturally someone will take you to eat and help you.

But you are absolutely not allowed to get something for nothing, even if you are disabled, the Special Administrative Region can find you a job with special arrangements, and if you don't have legs, you can paste cardboard boxes, right?

"Master Fan, if you look at such a simple thing, these people can't do it...... You, come here!" the old platoon commander shook the official document in his hand and called a man in his forties.

"Master Fan, this guy's name is Tian Mazi, with two children, a man and a woman, he said that it is his own child, I don't think it looks like he was photographed by Huazi, but we have no evidence! The child also recognized him, so he didn't file a case...... Stand up!"

Fan Ru hurriedly covered his nose with a handkerchief, this old beggar is covered in such a stink! The old beggar knelt on the ground almost reflexively, "Lord Daguan...... You can do it and get some money......"

Fan Ru almost subconsciously wanted to pay for it, but the old platoon commander stopped him, turned around and kicked the old beggar to the ground, "You bastard, you still want to deceive people?" kicked the blanket on the beggar's waist, and as a result, there was a loud noise from the inside, and there were more than a dozen shining Ryukyu dragon pattern silver coins.

"Ahh

"Haha, see it, this is a professional beggar...... "The old platoon commander sighed, "These three people are used to doing bitter scenes, and the two children are especially good at crying, and those who cry are soft-hearted, especially those foreigners are even soft-hearted, and some even give Yingyang silver coins directly......"
