Chapter 526. Once a son of heaven and a courtier

Qingzhou, Rizhao City!

It is really an industrial miracle created by Wang Hou, in the agricultural era, such a land is not fertile, and there is no output of desert island beaches, can create such a big city, as Wang Hou's starting place, when he left office, the population of this city has reached 300,000.

What is this concept? Xiangping, a big city at the level of the entire region of eastern Liaodong, has a population of only 200,000, Yecheng has a population of 500,000 during the Yuan Shao period, and now it is about 300,000, and Sun Quan's Jianye is only about 100,000.

And what is even more miraculous is that the giant city with a population of 300,000 people, the population of grain crops is only 50,000 or 60,000, and the business is still chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep such as non-staple food breeding, there are more than 60,000 workers in the Rizhao Iron Mill, more than 100,000 people who operate cotton plantation estates, more than 50,000 workers in cotton textile farms, the remaining port workers, merchants and other fragments, Wang Hou's Rizhao City is beyond the agricultural era, and can even be regarded as a city in the early industrial age.

But this time, the steel workshop, which is one of the two hearts of Rizhao City, has undergone some changes.

"What? Want a pay cut? How much to reduce! ”

"Impossible! The master craftsman only paid 500 yuan a month, and there was not even rice! Can't get by? ”

"Master Xu, you're okay! Our small workers don't pay for the rice alone! You're just a day, we can't live! ”

The ironworkers are all in the prime of life, they are used to working in front of the stove all the year round, and they don't even wear their shirts in the morning, looking at the notice posted at the mouth of the Lianhekou, the big men who are bare-chested and full of muscles are full of disbelief, messy gossip, and the scene and the sound are the same as the dwarf gathering in the Western fantasy.

This kung fu, the night shift craftsman on duty last night also came out bare-chested with a hammer, and the leader was still the Rizhao craftsman as the foreman, and he was also the lowest-level official in the Rizhao Yamen, Chen Fangtong, who was the "official" who most often dealt with these workers.

"Craftsman Chen! Why take a pay cut? The big guy didn't do anything wrong! ”

"Yes! Did the big guy make the Texas shepherd unhappy? Even if it is punished, it can't fall to this extent, and let people not live! ”

"That's enough!"

I was also holding back my anger, and I was so rambling, this finally changed from Chen Fangtou to Chen Fangtong, and the big man who was a little crepe also burst out with a belly of fire.

"If only the state pastor was in charge, it would be fine! He is an old man who is sympathetic to the people! The state pastor has now been assigned to Liaodong, and he will not resign from the government to herd our Qingzhou! The Rizhao blacksmith is the master Cui Chengcui who came from Yecheng, the scholar of the Cui clan of Qinghe, Sikong Cui Lin, and the lieutenant Cui Yan is his brother! This blacksmith's salary is set by his old man's scum, what's the use of you yelling at Lao Tzu! ”

"I'm still fucking dead! I knew that when the former craftsman went to Liaodong with the state herd, Lao Tzu followed, who the hell served this kind of peeled iron rooster! ”

Saying that, Chen Fangtong really took off the little black yarn on his head and threw it to the ground, turned around and left with a scolding attitude, watching his boss drop the rake, and stopped scolding the monkey! For several days, the workers, blacksmiths, and apprentices were all dumbfounded, but the scene that added fuel to the fire happened again.

Following behind his buttocks, another little official wearing a craftsman's prison robe, but the workers didn't know him, kept two mustaches, and followed out with a snarky face, and his subordinates also brought a dozen or so overseers who didn't know him, and spat fiercely in the direction that Chen Fangtong was walking, and then he bared his teeth and scolded the dumbfounded worker.

"What the hell are you doing! If you don't go to work, you'll have to wait for a whip! ”

"This lord! The salary has been reduced by more than ten times at once, and we can't live like this! ”

After all, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and the blacksmith Li led by the craftsman group has a bitter face and is embarrassed to intercede with the new foreman.

"You are old and compassionate, even if it is reduced by fifty percent!"

But before the words were finished, a loud slap rang out, and in the stunned gaze of the workers, a slap was slapped, and the foreman bared his teeth and cursed again.

"Pickled shitty stuff! The rules set by the master are also something you can bargain with? It is already the grace of the lord that this world gives you lowly people a stutter so that you can live! If you want to do it, you can do it, and if you don't do it, you will get out! ”

"! You fucking think that Lao Tzu rarely eats your pig, and Lao Tzu won't fucking do it! Brothers, the bitter cold of Liaodong is the bitter cold of Liaodong, Lao Tzu wants to pack up his belongings and go to our state herdsman! ”

This is the backbone of the working class, we rely on craftsmanship to eat, and we don't rely on those acres of land to eat, who do we do it for? As soon as a few masters shouted, thousands of workers really dispersed more than half of them at once! Seeing that this new foreman has not yet burned out the fire of the new official, he is dumbfounded.

Seeing this scene, he was immediately furious, but for a while, he didn't see who was shouting, and he saw the honest blacksmith Li wandering there, and it was really a dog that was crazy and biting, and the sharp-beaked monkey grinned, and the foreman grinned at him with bared teeth and roared.

"Dare to incite craftsmen against the government, it's the opposite! It's the other way around! Come on! Arrest this traitor for me! ”

It was really called a lying gun, full of horror, and Blacksmith Li was held down by several overseers and thugs, and his head was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he kept fluttering and shouting.

"What a small wrong! The small one didn't fight against the government! ”

"What are you doing? Let go of Lieber! ”

Although an honest person is honest, his popularity is generally better, and he never hides his selfishness! I have brought up a lot of work, and the master-apprentice relationship is much stronger than that of later generations, seeing that his master was pressed, a large group of his apprentices immediately quit, holding up a body of tendon meat, and turned back anxiously.

is worried about everyone being angry, this sharp-beaked monkey cheek slave is really in the middle of the arms, looking at the fluttering in front of him, he roared even more fiercely.

"All caught!"

It was also rampant in the township, and a group of dogs didn't say a word, they beat them with sticks and whips, knocked over seven or eight workers on the spot, and saw blood directly.

However, this time they have miscalculated, these are not the craftsmen and slaves who were lowly under the government in the past and were oppressed so much that they couldn't raise their heads, they were highly respected blue-collar workers under Wang Hou! They are even the lowest middle class, they are not the masters of being bullied.

Bang dang, I don't know who is carrying the hammer to shoot, this slave's head is not as hard as the anvil, bang, a living person of one meter seven or more is immediately his head bloomed and lay down softly, and a person died on the spot, and the two groups of people who were still tearing the bar were all stunned, and they all retreated.

Watching his seven eldest brothers-in-law and eight uncles go to the ground with their heads open, the sharp-beaked monkey cheek warden had red eyes, and he pointed at the nose of the group of workers in great anger and roared.

"The killer rebelled! Kill them all! ”

The workers of the Rizhao Iron Yard are of good quality, and they didn't scold him, but on the belt, the big hammer for striking iron was quietly taken down one by one, and even the dog-legged little official didn't notice that behind him, the blacksmiths and apprentices who worked overnight also quietly surrounded him with hammers......
