Chapter 240: Gambling Trends Emerge
Hurrying, with a large group of people is not an easy thing, stop and go along the way, fortunately did not encounter the thieves who blocked the road and robbed, although the road is hard and can still persevere.
Su Wu came back with only eleven people, well prepared, there was no food crisis on the road, but with a team of several hundred people, the lack of food was highlighted, despite this, no one complained about anything, the road to the same good life was so difficult.
Half a month later, Su Wu and his entourage appeared outside Maoming County. When he arrived here, Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief, this is definitely the territory of the volunteers, and there is no need to worry about any thieves.
Su Wu: "Let's go into the city, stay here for one night tonight, and we can rush to Zhangjiacheng tomorrow." ”
The county looked dilapidated, first emptied by the volunteers, and then the government army arrived, and the people of the government dug three feet into the ground, and what property had already been taken away, most of the people in the county were old people, and not many people cleaned up and repaired the houses in the county, showing a decadent appearance.
It turned out that the people of the county seat, after being captured by the volunteers, were accustomed to the life of Zhangjiacheng, and came back to pick up the old people who stayed in the county seat, and the county was even more dilapidated, although the county seat was dilapidated, it was better than spending the night in the wilderness.
The firewood burned in a grass hut that looked fairly intact, and after a simple dinner, the Su family sat in front of the fire and chatted.
After half a month of hard work, Su Lao looked even older than in his hometown in Zhaoqing, and it was not easy for the old man to support him after sixty.
Su Lao: "Why does this county look so dilapidated, what's going on, do you know?" ”
The others looked at Su Wu, he arranged for everyone to spend the night here, but the county is like this, everyone is not afraid that it is fake, if a group of thieves come in the middle of the night, there is no city gate, how to block the thieves, and the county town is not guarded at all, although the county seat of the hometown is dilapidated, but there are still officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.
In such a county town that doesn't seem to be very popular, who doesn't have any apprehension in their hearts.
Su Wu chuckled, he could guess a little bit of everyone's concerns, in just a few months, the county town was even more dilapidated, the buildings were not popular, and most of the houses here were grass houses and wooden houses, and there were no people to maintain them for a few months, so you can imagine.
Su Wu has witnessed everything, but he did not say the specific things, to say that the county is so dilapidated, or the pot of the volunteers, first the people who can work are taken away, the people to Zhangjiacheng are doing well, and then come back to pick up the old people who stayed in the county, further accelerating the loss of population in the county, don't look at the county seat before the population of more than 50,000, now, it would be good to find a few hundred people in the county.
Su Wu: "It's nothing, you see that there is no one in the county, because the people in the county have gone to Zhangjiacheng, and they will be able to get there tomorrow, and then you will know how lively Zhangjiacheng is." ”
The land of a city almost became a ghost domain, and the county town could not be completed in five years, and it was tossed by Chen Zijian, and it became like this in a few months. Of course, whether Maoming County can be redeveloped depends on Chen Zijian's intentions.
If Chen Zijian regards this as an important place and gives relevant policy support, it is not impossible for Maoming County to develop again, but it is a pity that Maoming County is left with a bunch of ruins, nothing of value, in terms of resources, it is not comparable to Dianbai County, Dianbai County can bring enough meat and oil to Chen Zijian by the sea, Maoming County only has some value of arable land, and Maoming County has no advantages in other geographical locations, Maoming County is basically ignored by Chen Zijian, and if you want to develop again, it depends on the development of Zhangjiacheng.
Zhangjiacheng continues to develop, and sooner or later it will radiate to Maoming County, after all, the distance between the two places is not far.
It's tiring enough to travel during the day, and the night is the most speechless, because of the decrease in the population of the county, who will go in the sound of insects. Full of expectations for arriving in Zhangjiacheng tomorrow, everyone has been in a hurry for more than half a month, and they have suffered all the way, everyone gritted their teeth, for what, isn't it to go to Zhangjiacheng to live a good life, tomorrow will arrive, who has no expectations in their hearts.
Zhangjiacheng District A Oriental Community No. 1 Courtyard, Zhangjiacheng after renaming, the current jurisdiction of Zhangjia Village and its surrounding 20 miles, renamed Zhangjiacheng, of course, Zhangjiacheng is still not worthy of the name, in addition to the various communities built some time ago, Zhangjiacheng development and utilization of less than 2 percent.
Chen Zijian temporarily divided the Zhangjiacheng sub-district into 10 areas, according to the 10 areas A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, and QI, which are respectively Area A and Area B...... Ren District, of course, Chen Zijian originally planned to name it according to District No. 1 and District No. 2, and then thought that the name was too old-fashioned, and then it was named Zhangjiacheng with the ancient Chinese numerical representation, A, B, and C.
Chen Zijian has no shame in naming the courtyard where he lives first, the No. 1 courtyard of the Oriental Pearl Community in Zhangjiacheng District A, to see how domineering it is.
There is nothing to do at night, Chen Zijian sat aside and watched a few women play cards, since they will fight the landlord, they will play a few if they have nothing to do, usually free, let the women of other small courtyards come to play, Li Shi, Li Hu A few guys of the women have nothing to come over and watch, so up and down, the game of playing cards in the people spreads, and the people gather to play cards under the solar lamp at night, they have to work hard during the day, and play cards at night to relax, more entertainment and culture.
But when the facts appeared, there were pros and cons, and the landlords appeared, blowing up an ancient industry, gambling.
The silver earned by the people of Zhangjiacheng is much higher than that of other places, of course, referring to the average level, because Chen Zijian gave up dividends, and the people who worked for Chen Zijian could earn no less than three taels of silver a month.
The people have a lot of silver in their hands, but they don't know how to dispose of the sudden more wealth, simply put, the mind can't keep up with the speed of making money, a farmer who has not read a book before, suddenly gave him three taels of silver, and usually eat and drink without worry, there is not much survival crisis, and then gambling appeared.
Gambling in Zhangjiacheng is growing like crazy, there is no place more suitable for gambling, here is simply a paradise for gambling, you see, the people have money in their hands, usually eat and drink without worry, there are no corresponding regulations, try to ask gambling can not be overflowing!
Chen Zijian looked at a report, which said that the police secretly collected the news, there were more than 20 gambling venues in various places in Zhangjiacheng, and the smallest gambling frantically sucked more than 10,000 silver coins in one night, and these people gathered under the solar electric lamp to gamble in a grand manner, which was simply a challenge to Chen Zijian's bottom line.
Some people say that gambling is a voluntary act of the individual, and it does not harm the interests of others, Chen Zijian does not comment on this statement, he can't control other places, it doesn't matter if he kills people and sets fires in other places in the Ming Dynasty, but this is his territory, and gambling under his eyes is not looking for death!
Chen Zijian wrote down on the document that he would be dealt with severely, the people who organized gambling confiscated all their property, their families were all expelled from the country, and the gambling-related personnel worked for free in the mining area for six months to three years at the same time, and of course the head of the gambling organization was sentenced to life imprisonment and mining in the mining area for the rest of his life.
The document will return to Zhang San's hand tomorrow, and there will be a punishment for him on the document at the same time, gambling is such a thing that harms Zhangjiacheng, he didn't deal with it earlier, and Chen Zijian had to find out that he arranged someone to investigate, only to know that Zhangjiacheng's gambling had reached a serious point.
It turned out that Chen Zijian passed by a place yesterday, and someone had a quarrel there, this kind of thing Chen Zijian asked people to go over to inquire, knowing that a guy, uh, gamblers want to take the silver coins earned at home to gamble money, if they can gamble successfully, then the family will not object, this is the case at any time, anyway, as long as the gambling money can win, the family will not object, the problem is that gambling money is never lost out of ten. How many people can win often, that person gambled before and lost the more than 20 silver coins earned by the family, but he did not have the consciousness of resignation, and continued to take the remaining few silver coins to gamble, the women in the family were unwilling, and now the women in Zhangjiacheng can also make money, and their status has improved rapidly, and then they quarreled with the gamblers, and Chen Zijian happened to pass by and saw this scene.
Seeing Gui, Chen Zijian left at that time, and did not show up to go to any Qingtian master, to condemn the gambler, saying that he should not gamble, and want to live a good life or something.
Different status, different ways to solve problems, Chen Zijian secretly asked people to investigate the gambling matter, this is Chen Zijian's territory, his power is almost to the sky, what he wants to know, no one can hide it from him, one day of things, someone will investigate the gambling matter in Zhangjiacheng.
Chen Zijian was a little annoyed with Zhang San, he had known about gambling for a long time, but he didn't take it to heart, maybe he didn't think gambling was a big deal, his original vision was like that, this gambling punishment, Zhang San, as a person who did not report the information, was fined and confiscated half a year's income, which still depends on the fact that Zhang San has no income to bribe.
Dare to organize gambling in Zhangjiacheng, then it must be done to deal with the local officials, as the chief of police, someone to send Zhang San money, send women, in order to get his protection, gambling if there is no official acquiescence, it is impossible to play, because sometimes gamblers lose very badly, unwillingly, in the place of gambling money to make trouble, the casino can not be opened.
Daming didn't care about gambling in other places, or the people who opened the casino had already taken care of the county order and the officials, Zhang San inquired about these things, and knew that gambling was not a big deal in other places, and then he didn't care, of course, he didn't take bribes.
But what he didn't do well was that he asked someone to inquire about the attitude towards gambling in other places, but he didn't come to Chen Zijian to inquire about his attitude towards gambling, and Chen Zijian didn't come to inquire about it.
Another document on the health care system.
Chen Zijian has seen Daming's original dark treatment methods, such as having a wound on the body, just cleaning it with water that looks clean, and then wrapping the wound with a cloth without any sterilization, whether the wound is inflamed or not depends on personal creation, whether you can survive and rely on yourself, if you don't die, you will pick up a life, and if you can't hold on, you will die! The mortality rate of illness in this day and age is incredible.
Chen Zijian learned of such a thing, and carried out wound treatment related operations a long time ago, but this is far from enough, the wound is only a small branch of the human body's disease, and there are still a lot of problems to be solved.
Chen Zijian organized the doctors of this era, that is, doctors, and let them read and study a very famous medical book in later generations, this book is the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", which is full of pictures and texts, and is a treasure book of "general medical medicine", from common cough and vomiting to complex cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer; From the knowledge of disease prevention to the protection of nuclear weapons and biological weapons; From acupuncture and herbal medicine to commonly used Western medicine. It has the principles of clarity, simplicity and effectiveness.
Chen Zijian organized dozens of experienced doctors, let them read the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" thoroughly, change their current understanding of the disease, and then serve Zhangjiacheng.
The content of this document requires Chen Zijian to pay money, uh, the civilized point is to allocate funds.
If you don't know the words, how to read and understand the content of the medical book, Chen Zijian gave them the medical book in simplified characters, as long as it is excessive, I have to say here that the convenience of simplified Chinese characters, inheriting traditional Chinese characters, people who recognize Chinese characters can learn simplified Chinese characters with a little time, Chen Zijian is very relaxed in this regard.
If Chen Zijian's brain was dizzy, he gave an English medical doctor, and then asked them to sit in English and study medicine, then the matter would be speechless.
Chen Zijian thought about it for a while, and allocated 100,000 silver coins to the Medical Research Institute, which is a lot of money, but it is worth dripping!
There are not many things that can be handled by Chen Zijian, dealing with two documents, things are done, looking at the watch, the time is less than eight o'clock in the evening.
Chen Zijian: "You play, I'll go out for a walk." ”
Of course, Chen Zijian is not without purpose, he wants to see with his own eyes how arrogant gambling is, anyway, he will serve them tomorrow, and it will be good to see them tonight.
Wu Xiang was holding a deck of stinky cards in his hand, and when he heard Chen Zijian go out, he was overjoyed, found a way back, and threw away the stinky cards, "Husband, the concubine will accompany you!" ”
Xiaoxi pouted, a deck of poker is like this, there are unlucky ones, Wu Xiang has a stinky card in her hand, and she has a good deck of cards in her hand, "Sister, you are cheating." How can you lose the cards. ”
Wu Xiang "Sister, my husband is going to go out, how can the concubine leave my husband alone!" ”
Chen Zijian rolled his eyes, "I have something to do, you can play by yourself, and you'll be back soon." ”
Wu Xiang took back the bad cards on the table and gave Chen Zijian a wink.
