Red bricks are a commodity that was really born at an untimely time in ancient China, and it was embarrassing to live for thousands of years.

It stands to reason that red bricks are simpler than green bricks, low cost, and should be more popular, but the emperors of the past dynasties said here: NO.

The two colors of yellow (bright yellow) and red (cinnabar) are the exclusive colors of the royal palace and the royal relatives, just like the queen's black Rolls-Royce, which are exclusive to the royal family.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to the decline of the control of the imperial court, the people of Fujian, who were far away from the emperor of the mountain, once played a wave of folk construction of red brick buildings, during which the Dutch also went to Zhangzhou to buy a lot of red bricks to repair the city of Relansha.

In addition, it was not until the collapse of the royal power at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the influx of industrial products that the entire medieval society began to use red bricks in large quantities.

The crossing crowd is also full of twists and turns in terms of bricks. At first, the red bricks shipped to Hangzhou were not sold well: not everyone dared to use them, and the walls and houses would take many years to build up, and this was the evidence of the rebellion.

Next, according to the telegram sent back by Tangzhuang, the big man quickly adjusted the ingredient ratio of part of the 95 red bricks, so that the product became light red, so the sales of the 2.0 version of the red bricks improved.

Soon the 3.0 version of the bricks will be on the market: with the enhancement of the strength of the kiln base, the brick kiln specially used to fire the green bricks for export will be launched. You know, in ancient times, there was a word called "grinding bricks to joints", which has clearly reflected the quality of the original handicraft products.

......

With the arrival of a large number of purchasing merchants, the vicinity of Tangzhuang, which was already not deserted, became chaotic and noisy overnight.

A large number of sailors and coolies came and went between the warehouses and bays, the freshly dressed and angry slaves accompanied the butler-like men around the stacks, and the masons, carpenters, and stonemasons squatted together, with the eating guys in front of them indicating their occupations, and waiting for the customers to come and pick them up.

Along the small river bay in front of the door all the way to the north, there is a small rental boat moored in the Tang River, in front of the Tangzhuang Gate is now always gathered some large and small businessmen are noisy and shouting, whenever the fleet enters the port, all kinds of short-term business of buying and selling and sitting on the ground began to flood in the crowd, probably the original exchange came from this?

It didn't take long for the villagers with small rows in the neighborhood to come - selling lotus leaf glutinous rice balls. There are also more goods in the crowd - thieves. Tax collectors in official robes also came - from the Bamboo and Wood Bureau.

Xiong Dao has been tied hand and foot recently because of this sudden outbreak of hot situation.

It will definitely not work like this: Tangzhuang does not need to turn the door into a building materials and home improvement market, the most important task of this freight station is to transport some kind of special "goods" at night, and other businesses are incidental...... This is unbearable, and the main and secondary are clearly distinguished.

So Bear Road began to rectify.

The goods selling the glutinous rice were bought, and then the simple man was kicked into the river by the bullies of Tangzhuang: "Get out!" Burn the ship again! ”

The thief who stole things was picked up by the big man left and right and walked into the distance: "There is a wild lotus pond two miles away, my brother will take you to see the lotus." ”

As for the Bamboo and Wood Bureau, Xiong Dao released Diao Xing's first ...... These people are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, a group of directors of Guan, ambassadors, Neige is staring at the bamboo and wood geese in the world every day to pluck their feathers, and Lao Diao are old friends.

This is still a face-saving thing, and the merchant power in the late Ming Dynasty was actually very strong, especially the kind with the support of the gentry or the emperor's relatives behind them.

Here is a small story of Wanli's "Dongguan Chronicles" for reference: Wang Tianjun, a Huizhou wood merchant, and others coerced money to buy 160,000 pieces of wood...... tax evasion of more than 32,000 silver ...... The loss of the national class is 50,000 or 60,000 taels, and the public (Ministry of Works) is calling dozens of people in Huizhou to kneel in court...... The merchants knew that the public could not be taken away, and poured stolen goods to the east factory.

Yes, you read that right, dozens of red-top businessmen wantonly evaded taxes, and after being caught, they couldn't deny it, and they even planted Dongchang together......

Is it the collapse of the three views? Dongchang, which has always been ranked alongside the military commander KGB FBI and belongs to the chief representative of the brutal agency on TV, was framed by businessmen in the lobby of the Ministry of Industry.

......

After the disappearance of irrelevant people, Xiong Dao next began to rectify the related households: in the future, each group of craftsmen is only allowed to leave a customer service with a certificate to pick up customers neatly under the bamboo shed that has been erected, just like the Unicom girls who do activities in the square in the future, and the rest of the craftsmen of all sizes rushed back to Hangzhou.

As for the merchants, Tangzhuang had to set aside a red brick warehouse for this generation to toss, with chairs and tea prepared in it, and Chu Maosheng served as the salon manager.

All meals and water are now provided by Tangzhuang, and all foreign hawkers and merchants are driven away.

The most important point is: every day at four o'clock in the afternoon, the Tangzhuang side begins to close, all business stops, and the outsiders must take a small boat back to the city, and only their own people in coats are left here.

"It's finally like that......" Xiong Dao stood on the stone platform at the entrance of Tangzhuang at the moment, looking at the outsiders who were returning home by boat one after another, and nodded with satisfaction. Recently, he has done almost nothing, and has been soaking here every day to maintain order, and he has been anxious to regulate for more than ten days before he can tidy up the scene.

"It's good that there was no delay." Xiong Dao continued to observe the surroundings, and when he saw that the men on duty began to patrol the empty market one after another, he turned around and went back to Tangzhuang.

Tangzhuang is still the same as before, but the difference is the back garden. The back garden, which was renovated by the traversers, was later opened to the Ming people's subordinates with the withdrawal of the main force and most of the equipment.

Now Xiong Dao and his two concubines, secretary and dispatcher, occupy a small building with several photovoltaic panels and antennas on the roof, and the rest of the ordinary small buildings have been allocated to the "nursing homes" to live in.

Tangzhuang and Moyunguan now share the same group of guards, and most of these people are old people from Pingfeng Village. At the time of the initial diversion, the young bandits went to Dayuan Island and the fleet, while the middle-aged bandits stayed behind and became the small leaders of the courtyard and the beggar gang.

The guards later formed a mixed convoy with a group of beggars, and the members began to take turns in the Moyun Temple to receive combat from the crowd, night patrols, and crossbow shooting training; After passing through the large army, these people took on the heavy responsibility of guarding Moyunguan and Tangzhuang.

Xiong Dao returned to the small building in the back garden, looked at the watch It was already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he first asked his sister to bring dinner and finish it quickly, and then at 6 o'clock, he turned on the car radio and began to talk to Lu Cheng on the side of Moyunguan.

Soon after, after the call was over, Xiong Dao began to call several captains of the escort team who were waiting outside to arrange tasks one by one.

After the arrangement was completed, the thugs were ordered to leave, and Master Xiong walked into the bedroom at this time and began to take off his clothes with the two girls...... Ahem, change your outfit. It wasn't until the sun set, the lone star gradually rose, and the sky began to darken, that the door of the building slowly opened...... Mr. Xiong walked out of the building first.

At this time, Master Xiong changed his image as a wealthy businessman, and saw that he was wearing an imitation CQB night combat uniform, a Penny hat, and his long hair fell into the hood from the back of his head; Mr. Xiong is holding a SCAR17 tactical assault rifle, an M9 pistol is inserted in his waist, a low-light night vision device is hung on his chest, and a walkie-talkie is pinned to his waist.

Behind Master Xiong are two SWAT girls. The girls wore black wedge shoes, black tight-fitting washed cloth trousers, tactical daggers pinned to their thighs, American Baal crossbows hanging from their waists, infrared binoculars and night vision devices swaying on their chests, and the horsetail behind their heads flicked one after another, with twisted lines and heroic postures.

After the first queen and two queens went out murderously, Master Xiong smiled lewdly and patted a girl's buttocks, and the girl ran away after screaming...... I ran all the way into the watchtower in the corner.

"The Yellow River reports the Yangtze River, and now the vision is good,"

"Yangtze River received, pay attention to observe, pay attention to observe OVER." Master Xiong walked out, while testing the walkie-talkie with his sister, and after leaving the back garden not far away, another girl also left him - the two girls were going to monitor the west and north of Tangzhuang in the watchtower, which was the direction of Hangzhou.

As the owner of the bear farm kept walking out, people on both sides kept following.

"Are the coolies settled?"

"The owner of the village, it's all closed!"

"Check the lock again, and send someone to guard the door."

"Whoa!"

......

At this time, the reason why Xiong is so excited today is very clear: there is "goods" arriving tonight.

Every night of "delivery" from Moyunguan, Tangzhuang's side is also like a big enemy, the coolies will be locked in the house, and the rest of the people must be dispatched to ensure the smooth handover of the "goods".

When Xiong Dao walked out of the gate of Tangzhuang, he saw that his men were ready, and the sailors on all four boats were ready, so he walked straight to the row of brick and concrete warehouses by the river

Seeing the owner coming, the two guards opened the door of the warehouse. The bear walked through the stacked rice bags in the warehouse, opened a secret door in the corner, and climbed up a narrow stone staircase to the roof of the warehouse.

The roof was built by his own people when it was built, and in the center was a sunken machine-gun nest with a wooden plank overhead. This is an important vantage point, and all sections, including Tangzhuang and Hewan Wharf, can be directly observed from the rooftops.

After Xiong Dao climbed onto the roof, he first used a night vision device to observe the surrounding movements, and after making sure that there was no abnormal situation around, he began to calmly set up the assault rifle, and then took out the walkie-talkie, began to turn the channel, and contacted the other party one by one.

There are four most important channels for walkie-talkies now: the two girls on the watchtower in Tangzhuang, Lu Cheng in Moyunguan, and the leader of the upcoming Moyunguan transport fleet: Comrade Hu Xian.
