Chapter 206: Wu Niu Goes Home
The next day, Chen Zijian rode on horseback, this horse is the best horse found in Dianbai County, Chen Zijian takes it for himself, without any mental obstacles, compared to him emptying a county seat, occupying a group of horses is a matter?
This time, the volunteers arrested more than four-fifths of the people in Dianbai County, and the remaining old men and old ladies were not needed by the volunteers, of course, for these old people, Chen Zijian was still very polite, leaving enough food for them so that they would not starve to death.
The volunteers acted, in fact, they did not kill anyone, if they caught someone and encountered resistance, a burst of wooden sticks passed the other party will be honest, if they are still not satisfied, then they will be knocked out with a stick.
The reason why the Volunteers do this is that everyone has a problem, for example, every day you slap a person, and after a hundred days in a row, and suddenly one day you don't fight, that person will be grateful to you. If you give a beggar a penny in a row, and one day suddenly you don't give it, the beggar will resent you.
If the volunteers talk to those people well, crying and shouting and asking them to go to Zhangjia Village to do things, and give them good wages, they will not be grateful to the volunteers, so Chen Zijian will arrest the people to work, whether they want to or not, they will be tied up and go to Zhangjia Village, and after they have worked hard for a while, Chen Zijian will give them freedom, and then they will be grateful to the volunteers.
Chen Zijian was on the back of the horse, and took out a thing in the horse's back pocket and gnawed on it, uh, it was sugarcane, Chen Zijian saw the familiar sugarcane forest outside Baixian, wild, and only then did he remember that he always felt that something was missing before, and only after seeing the sugarcane forest did he remember that life was less sweet.
Sweetness is purely a lack of sweetness, Chen Zijian's brain is not good, when he sees something familiar, he will think of what is missing, such as sugarcane, if he doesn't see sugarcane, he won't think of the lack of sugar, sweetness can bring people a sense of happiness, Chen Zijian wants to improve the happiness index of the people in Zhangjia Village, then there can be no lack of sweetness, how can people feel sweet, eat sugar!
Chen Zijian thought of a new industry, the sugar industry. Sugar is made from sugar cane.
But now he has spread out a lot of stalls, as if there is no one to help him do things, on horseback while thinking about things, while eating sugar cane without any image, spit out the bagasse casually.
For the captured people, to distinguish them, capable people must be reused, such as blacksmiths, Chen Zijian will increase the production of steel in the future, to make guns and cannons, how can there be no group of blacksmiths, skilled workers will always be rare, but they are talents who are rapidly developing society, and they are not reused, it can only be said that it is not unreasonable for the imperial court to be defeated by Li Zicheng.
Chen Zijian came from later generations and naturally knew the importance of craftsmen.
Leave 3,000 volunteers, stationed in Dianbai County, where cement roads will soon be built to ensure the smooth flow of transportation, it has not rained yet, and barely accept, after a heavy rain, the original official road will not be the same, potholes, want to transport a large number of goods, can make people rush.
Because of the transportation problem, it can be said that it consumes a lot of manpower of Chen Zijian, but it cannot be missing, think about it, to produce cement, all kinds of raw materials in different places, they will not run over by themselves, they can only use ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and manpower transportation, so the transportation efficiency to meet the various construction tasks of Chen Zijian, can only use manpower to fill this transportation pit. And this pit can't be filled if it is not filled, otherwise how will all kinds of resources be circulated.
The people of the county have many identities, workers, peasants, businessmen, military households at the bottom, slaves at the bottom, the scholar class was directly wiped out by Chen Zijian, and the merchant class, whose families seem to be big businessmen, were also raided by Chen Zijian, leaving the workers and peasants, military household slaves, Chen Zijian forced them to an equal position with a stick, because they all had a common identity, the people under Chen Zijian's rule. As long as they do things for Chen Zijian, the worst life will have a well-fed, well-clothed, sheltered residence.
As for their future status, they will be divided into three, six, nine and so on again according to their work, but this is a matter of ability, at least Chen Zijian gives them a fair platform, what achievements they can have in the future depends on their own creation, to know that a relatively fair platform is very rare, at least the Ming Dynasty did not give the people such a chance, the Ming system is that the son inherits the father's business, what does Lao Tzu do, son, grandson can only do in the future, can not change, the son of the military household no matter what his ability is, can only be a military household, the same is true of craftsmen.
Chen Zijian broke such a class relationship, it was because he had strong own strength, he didn't care about anyone else's face and did things, there was no other entanglement of interests, uh, to put it bluntly, Chen Zijian is reform.
Since ancient times, reform will shed blood, because if you want to share the interests of the rich to the poor, who will be willing to give up their own interests, this is an irreconcilable relationship, Chen Zijian has eliminated the rich class that occupies a lot of resources, and re-cultivated the rich class without other interests, and has achieved initial results.
For example, Zhang Laosi is the first "rich man" cultivated by Chen Zijian, and his income has exceeded the income of other people in Zhangjia Village, and this stratification is inevitable.
On the road leading to Zhangjia Village in Gaozhou County, more than a dozen people rushed with things on their backs.
"Dad, how far are we to get to that place, is there really such a good place! You can eat meat all at once. ”
A thirteen-year-old girl said that she could marry at this age, but she had been malnourished for a long time and looked thin and weak.
When she heard her father talk about that place so well, she still didn't believe it in her heart, although her father told her personally.
"Yes! Dad, what you said is not a lie, eat meat at once, and the landlord in the village does not have such luxury. ”
Wu Niu smiled, a month ago, in Gaozhou County to do things, at that time someone said that Zhangjia Village recruited people to do things, Wu Niu was more courageous than the average person, after hearing about such a good treatment, he followed the past to Zhangjia Village, and found that the treatment there was better than he imagined, he joined the 36th branch of the China Construction Road Construction Bureau, because of his serious work, he was elected as a team leader.
A few days ago, he paid three taels of wages and some other benefits, and made a lot of money, compared to his previous one, he wanted to let his family come over to enjoy the happiness, isn't it, at home in Gaozhou, the family ate the last meal without the next meal, and there is no way to compare it with the food here in Zhangjia Village.
Wu Niu found his superiors and asked for a few days of leave, the reason is, of course, to go back and bring his family over, after getting approval, Wu Niu packed up his things and left, as for whether he will not come back after leaving, what are you kidding, how can he Wu Niu say now that he is also a squad leader, managing more than ten people, with a great future, may not come back after leaving Zhangjia Village!
When he went to other places, Wu Niu relied on his ability, he could earn two hundred yuan a month, he was a crop planter, except for a handful of strength, nothing else, and he was in Zhangjia Village, he had a bright future, Zhangjia Village was never afraid that the people would run away.
Wu Niu drove for two days before returning to his home in Gaozhou, the family saw Wu Niu, who had not seen him for more than a month, almost unrecognizable, Wu Niu was very different from before, the chief was the original long hair cut short, and the remaining hair length was not enough to be half a finger long, and the family did not understand why Wu Niu did this.
In an environment where men are almost all short-haired, if a man has long hair, it will look different, Wu Niu saw that so many people had cut their hair, so he followed suit, he didn't dare to be someone else. And after cutting his hair, he felt very comfortable, and Wu Niu had long been used to the awkward short hair in his family.
Wu Niu eats and drinks well in Zhangjia Village, his body has long been raised, he was malnourished and thin before, after returning home, he saw the appearance of his family, there was an awkward feeling, Wu Niu and his family were separated for a month, and they looked at each other awkwardly, but of course Wu Niu was more imposing, how to say that he was also a team leader who managed more than ten people.
Wu Niu lived at home for a day, and he couldn't bear to eat two meals of gruel that day, which was not compared to when he was doing things in Zhangjia Village, and the gruel was even better, there was no oil and meat, and the family lived such a day, and they were more determined to take them to Zhangjia Village, where it was hard work.
And Wu Niu has heard of a thing, that is, the chief will soon let everyone read and write, what is the specific plan, Wu Niu's level is not clear, he has five children, two of whom died before, don't ask how he died, adults are sad these years, the survival of children is even more difficult, and it is not easy to support the children who grow up.
It is by virtue of reading and reading that Wu Niu unconditionally makes cattle and horses for the chief, and if there is one and a half scholars in the family, it is really worth dying.
Chen Zijian didn't know, he released the news that everyone was allowed to read and write, and all the people's resentment against him disappeared, and the people of the Ming Dynasty respected the scholars very much, so only Chen Zijian didn't take Xiucai seriously and took it at will.
The scholars of the Ming Dynasty are like bright fireflies in the dark, attracting people's eyes, well, of course, not to attract natural enemies, but to attract the respectful eyes of the surrounding people, who doesn't want their children to have such an honor.
