Chapter 50: Gradual Change (5)

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the identity of the military household still had some advantages over the beggar gang, but ordinary households would never choose to become military households unless they had a certain share, and even their daughters were unwilling to marry military households. Because, the military household is almost a dark assembly, just a group of serfs who have been oppressed by the officers of the guard.

Serfs, or yeoman farmers, this one knows how to choose with his eyes closed; Serfs or tenants, the vast majority of people will not hesitate to choose the latter, because personal dependence is completely different.

The man from Xinxing County said so, and the man from Gaoming County also nodded, expressing his agreement with this. Next, it is nothing more than to register step by step, and then act in accordance with the rules and regulations here, and honestly work, farm, eat, drink, and pay will follow. At least, that's what the guy who hired said that.

In the distance, several shareholders of the silk weaving workshop in Longjiang Town looked at the scene of registration, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief to each other. They relied on Chen Kai's tiger skin to deal with the officials of Shunde County several times, and when they only said that it was the Guangdong Business Alliance, the officials below dared to hint at them with benefits, and they gave it without hesitation. When Zheng Xiyuan's shareholding was settled, the news spread to the Shunde County Ya, and the local county lord went directly to Longjiang Town to guide the work, and expressed his position in public, saying that they were the pioneers in restoring the sericulture and silk industry in Shunde, and the government should vigorously support Yunyun.

This is not empty words, the help of the county was quickly put in place, and the ownerless mulberry forests and fields were directly lent to them for cultivation, which was called to prevent abandonment and guarantee future taxes, but during the tax holiday, the output was theirs, and there was not much difference from their own land.

Filial piety is naturally indispensable. It is not okay to the magistrate, to the officials below, the officials or whatever, because these guys don't take money, and they always feel that they can't feel at ease, lest these guys will use some means behind their backs. And with the connection of each other's interests, many things can be done more logically, even including the bribery of Gaoming County, which is also the middleman of Shunde County.

In terms of work, the planting and picking of mulberry forests are due diligence, and the work of raising silkworms should also be carried out at the same time to ensure the yield of silk, so as to ensure the weaving of silk. As for further finishing, such as embroidery, Guangdong embroidery is one of the four famous embroidery in China, which is divided into tide embroidery and Guangxi embroidery, as early as the Tang Dynasty was famous, to the Ming Dynasty its "needle is thin than hair, the needle does not forget the rules", some "to the horsetail as a strangler, so as to hook it", the pattern is neat, "the eye of the needle is hidden, seamless", the level is not less than elsewhere.

Embroidery girls, for the time being, will not be recruited in these fleeing people, because Guangzhou City, Shunde County, mastered a certain technique of embroidery is not uncommon, as long as the salary is appropriate, embroidery will continue to output.

These things have been discussed in many meetings, and they are just going to do it step by step. And as for these people, they don't plan to really exploit their families, the wages are paid, the grain is transferred from other places to sell at a low price, and those people are allowed to cultivate the fields and plant vegetables nearby, and the whole area will be completely revitalized with their silk weaving workshop in Longjiang Town, which is what the county wants to see.

Cooperation to achieve a win-win situation, Chen Kai mentioned such a concept at the conference. During this time, they tried to attract investment from the Cantonese trading companies and share the profits with local officials, and even some of their original competitors chose to cooperate with them in the form of low-interest loans, and in exchange they only helped these new partners to try to join the Cantonese Trade Alliance, as they had promised their earlier partners.

Capital gathering, investment, manpower gathering, distribution, raw material acquisition, and the output of finished products put on the market, you can directly collect profits, so as to carry out a new round of investment, and so on.

Today, before the birth of man-made fibers, silk is the so-called "silk" in later generations. Just as silk was rarely seen in later generations, silk was the most in-demand commodity in most parts of this era. Its comfortable, smooth texture swept the world, and naturally became one of the most important export products of ancient China.

With a guaranteed market, silver will continue to pour in, and the future is promising, but now there are still some worries, which are inevitable.

"We have recruited not only the civilian households of Gaoming County, but also many military households from Xinxing and Enping. Although those were originally civilian households, they were forced to become military households by those generals in western Guangdong, but they took in the fugitive military households and let those generals know, but they were afraid that there would be another incident. ”

Regarding the escape of military households, this was the most uncommon joke in the Ming Dynasty and since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Originally, the military households fled and fled, and the local guards were powerless, and they did not dare to arrest them across the ground, so they often did not end up, but now in this situation, the Ming court is far from being able to compare with the Qing court with the territory put together by these large and small warlords.

If this is the case, other shareholders around him are also worried. However, Shunde's population has suffered a serious loss, and if you want to restore the scale of silk production, manpower is indispensable. The two contradictory sides, and everyone also felt that they should hold a meeting to discuss it, and if not, they would vote on whether to continue containment or something.

"In the final analysis, it still depends on how much support the Fujun Boss can have for us."

"I think it's difficult. It's not that the boss of the Fujun is afraid of them, but he has an unpleasant quarrel with those generals just for some silver, even I don't think it's worth it. ”

………………

"This time, if it doesn't work, I'll write a song to impeach him."

"Impeachment is useful? Don't forget, he is not an official sent by the imperial court like Guo Inspector, Lian Zhijun, and Zhang Fujun. As long as the surname Zheng Ci of Fujian holds the army, even the emperor will hold him. ”

"That's it, it's not necessary to tear your face for the time being. Let's talk about it first, let's pull Wang Shuai, Wei Shuai, Ye Shuai, Chen Shuai and Li Shuai, there are many people, it's okay to talk about it properly, as long as you can get some benefits! ”

"Wang Shuai, it's okay for them to say, but aren't Chen Shuai and Li Shuai wearing the same pants with that guy?"

"Not necessarily, among the military households who fled this time, there are also many in Xinning County and Yangjiang County, all of whom have gone to Guangzhou, and I don't think Chen Qice and Li Changrong will be comfortable."

“……”

The generals of Xinning County and the Ming army stationed in several nearby counties came together to discuss the mass exodus of military households and the recruitment of new enterprises such as the silk weaving workshop in Longjiang County in Guangzhou.

After all, the living conditions and quality of life of military households are far from being compared with those of civilian households, and the military cantonment composed of leather whips and military sticks makes those civilian households who were forced to serve as soldiers yearn for the past life even more. However, there is no doubt that the latter has contributed to this. Not to mention, as far as they know, in the recent month, Shunde County has begun to catch up with Xinhui County to become the preferred area for military families to flee. And this trend is something they absolutely cannot tolerate.

After receiving the letter, Wei Yingdeng and Ye Biao, the second marshal of Luoding Prefecture, immediately raised their hands and feet in approval, and Wang Xing, the general of Huben in Enping County, hesitated slightly, but soon expressed his approval of this. In contrast, Chen Qice, the general of Linghai in Xinning County, and Li Changrong, the general of Hailing Island in Yangjiang County, seemed a little hesitant, especially when the latter said something vague.

"I think Chen Qice and Li Changrong are planning to look at the direction of the wind again."

"These two wallgrass!"

"It's no wonder that they had a good relationship with Chen Kai earlier, and this time they offended that guy for the sake of a few military households, and they were probably not very willing. But if we can talk about something, they won't want it. If you are willing to go to the Tao, you should be able to echo a few words in the end. ”

With this foundation, the generals also did what they said, and the group went directly to Guangzhou, and when they arrived at the governor's yamen, they shouted that they wanted to see Chen Kai immediately, and they had to give them an explanation.

"This is the yamen of the governor of Guangdong, and there are no rules!"

Lin Dezhong, the chief officer of the Guangdong Governor's Standard Battalion, came to report on the progress of the training of the new soldiers, and saw that the generals were shouting loudly in the governor's yamen with their own soldiers, and these generals were startled when they shouted out: "The boss of the Fujun has every opportunity, but who wants to see it?" Ben Shuai has to make an appointment in advance, and if you wait for the generals, guerrillas, and garrisons one by one, you still have to be stuck in front of Ben Shuai. Now, the post has been handed over, and the letter is waiting for the letter in the post house! ”

The officials and universities crush people to death, and the military is even more class-distinct. The ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty was large, and these generals were not Lin Dezhong's direct subordinate generals, and they were not controlled by him. However, the size of the system is the size of the system, and the class gap still brings a great sense of oppression, especially in Lin Dezhong's voice, the guards of the governor's yamen also poured over, but they were surrounded in such a small area.

The two sides are not the same faction, and it is not uncommon for the Ming army to annex each other in recent years, plus they made a lot of noise in the governor's yamen, and they were pulled out to beat the board and gave it to their own people.

Originally, it was intended to take the lead and take the lead in the momentum at the beginning. Over the years, their voices with civil officials have also been a few degrees higher, and they are used to doing so, so they don't think much about it. But in front of them, they couldn't help but wonder which civil official's territory this was. Looking at the handle of the knife that was held in his hand, as if he was ready to go, the generals had no choice but to leave the governor's yamen in a gray manner, and went back to the post house to wait for the letter according to Lin Dezhong's words.

Inertial thinking seems to be not good for Chen Kai's side, so he had to hand over the post and wait for the summons. However, the next day, they heard that Chen Kai had a routine break, and took his wife and a pair of children out of the city to play in the mountains and rivers. However, with Lin Dezhong's voice, they didn't dare to disturb Chen Kai's good mood, so they had to continue to wait for the news of the summons in the post house.

In the city, such as Zhenhai Tower, Gongbei Tower, etc., the first two times Xiu Mu Chen Kai took his family around, and went to the monument at the pier by the way, and carried out a "patriotic" education for his children, and bragged in front of his daughter-in-law and children. This time, it is to take a look at Baiyun Mountain outside the city, where the scenery is unique, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yangcheng Eight Views alone accounted for three of them.

"Pujian Lian Spring, Jingtai Monk Return, Baiyun Evening Look, I am afraid that this day will not be finished. However, there is no hurry, our days in Guangzhou City are still long, take your time. ”

"Is the husband disgusted that our mother and son are walking slowly?"

"No, no, where would the husband think like this, the lady thinks too much."

On weekdays, he is busy with military affairs and government affairs, Chen Kai has always been resolute, and he has already been here and went straight to the scenic spots, so the scenery on the road is far less careful than Zheng Xiyuan. During this time, Chen Kai showed a strong desire to survive, which caused Zheng Xiyuan to sneer. Immediately, he said: "The concubine is just joking, the husband is like this, I don't know how fierce the concubine is at home on weekdays".

"Hmph, you know the means of being a husband, don't be obedient in the future, be careful of losing the reputation of a woman."

Swaggering, exaggerated to make a self-righteous appearance. Seeing Chen Kairusi, Zheng Xiyuan almost laughed out loud, but he refused to show weakness at all, and even replied: "If the concubine is a fierce woman, the husband must be said to be afraid of guilt." They are all members of the second grade, and they are not ashamed. ”

After all, it has been two years since they got married, but the couple is still flirting as if they were newlyweds, even to the point where there is no one around. In other words, Chen Kai is so indispensable to be impeached by the imperial history, the governor and the like, and even because Zheng Xiyuan responded, he would be charged with a boudoir if he didn't get it. But now this year, Guangzhou City is the biggest, and those marquis and uncles have to obey his orders, and they don't have to worry about anything else, which is probably the biggest benefit of civil officials in troubled times.

Chen Kai's family was swimming outside the city, so unhappy. In the post station in the city, a group of generals are still waiting there dryly, and it is not easy to go out to cause trouble, for fear of being caught by others with pigtails. Immediately afterward, another two days passed, and Chen Kai could be regarded as having the time to summon them. It's just that before their butts sat down, Chen Kai's next words made them unable to sit down anymore.

"I'm so busy that I don't have time to care about your mess. If you want to fight, the Guangdong Business Alliance has hired a lawyer from the 1000 corps to wait, and go directly to the yamen of the Guangzhou prefect. If there is nothing else to do, it will end here, and the official will not have so much time to spare. ”
